A guard rushed to him and found
blood flowing from the mans breast.
Lamier had been stabbed through
The heart and died instantly.
The knife was made from a bed

had been in a ~scabbard made of cloth.
Strings attached to the sheath were
used to fasten it about the body of

a shoe knife in the shoe factory and
inflicted a slight wound on a prisoner,

was slight. After that he was kept in

FOR HAT OR GOWN.
WaIIachian Embroidery Makes Most
Effective Trimming.

Fascinating flowers that may be ap-
pliqued to costumes or hats may be
made in wallachian embroidery. The
buttonholing on each edge makes
them easy to cut away from the
material on which they are done, and
the result is a piece of solid embroid-
cry like a motif or medallion.
A dainty lingerie hat is embroidered
in wallachian work, the flowers done
separately, as suggested. These are
cut out and tackled round the crown
so that the ribbon trimming may be
run through them. The appearance
is as though the sides of the crown
were done in some complicated eyelet
work.
Linen coats may be most admirably
trimmed with these flowers, and what
attractive linen jumper dresses may
be made where embroidery flowers,
petal to petal are placed around the
edge of the guimpe line!

be used it is perfectly possible to fix
an old gown by the addition of one of
these broad belts in cases where no
other kind of alteration would be
feasible.
The costume shown is one of those
useful frocks in which the blouse
may be changed. The bodice part,
which matches the skirt, may be
either in the bolero shape or in that
of bretelles, the only marked differ
ence being that in the case of the
Jacket the lower part is loose from the
belt, while the bodice is made as
bretelles or jumper-fearful, menac-
ing, but all useful word-the lower
part is fastened in below the belt. In
either case the blouse is separate,
and the owner of such a costume may
vary the effects by having a blouse to
match the gown and others of white
ecru, etc. Having a jacket effect, If
not a jacket in fact, this gown is
most useful one, for it may be worn
in the street without an extra wrap,
and the change of blouses makes it
wear. The gown has a long plain
skirt of most graceful style, such
as looks particularly we'll in the soft
cashmere of which it is fashioned.
The gown shown is of pale gray
cashmere, with a belt of black satin
and bands of black satin around the
armholes and lapels. The buttons
used to trim the bodice are also COW
cred with black satin. A filet blouse
in slightly lighter tone of gray. is
worn with this costume. The en-
broidery on the lapels is of two shades
of green on a pale green pongee
background. One of the notable fea-
lures of this years trimmings is
shown in this costume in the trim
ming, the same being used on the
cuffs of the blouse and on the lapels
poi the bodice. AS different fabrics
are used for the blouse and the bod
ice of the jacket, it would formerly
have been considered correct to have
different trimmings.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should list of the ingredients of Pc
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and well-tried catarrh RENE
dies. Second, well-known and gener-
ally acknowledged TOMS remedies.
That in one or the other of these uses
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed Of
some of the most efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as a tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
torS over anu oFes dSuln, duu Ueen eoAo
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach CIR some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

But the most sought animal is the bongo, ar

The great continent Of Africa for centuries has

fiction of those generations were based on the

Arabs, Portuguese Dutch French, Teutons
and Brtons have held sway in that order in the
most populated parts of Africa. French, Dutch
Germans and English are still prevalent there

Laundry work at home would be

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
