court although since the completion OF inc eA-
animation of Robert c. Caldwell. of New YORK.

first met Druce. whom she afterward knew as the
Duke of Portland, in 1862 he did not have bulbous

dcnce said that the Dun of Portland at that time
was being treated for a bulboTs nose.
Miss Robinson said she first met Charles Dickens
in Boston. and engaged by him return 10
England and act outside amanuensis for T. c.
Druce. for whom she received letters which were
delivered to him Welbeck Abbey. The witness
added that Mr. Dickens rold her that Druce was

GERMANY TO BORROW MILLIONS.
Report on Budget Suggests New Taxes to

of So. $4,000. The budget thus sanctions bor-
rowing SOS. $4,000 1t further authorizes the Chan
cenor to raise temporarily a maximum of $S7.5sO,oso
at the Imperial Bank upon Treasury bills as his
needs may require.
Owing the unfavorabIe state of the imperial
finances the government has decided 10 postpone

different arrangement can be made
The report accompanying the budget emphasized
the necessity for the imposition of taxes in
order to bring the expenditures and revenues into
harmony.

The solid comfort of Schlichten
Ramie underwear is largely due to the
fact that Ramie is the only solid tex
tile fibre-wOOl, cotton. silk, flax are
hollow tibreS.
These hollow fibreS collapse when
twisted into thread. while thread of
Ramie fibre is like a cable of MANY
wires, with tiny air spaces between the
fibreS.
Through these openings surplus
heat and moisture pass off. and the
skin is kept in normal condition
minimizing extremes of cold and heat
and providing the best possible pro-
lection against chill.
We recommend Schlichten Ramie.
