EXPENSIVE COSTUMES.
First Comes the Alleged Jewel-Studded
Robe of the Queen Of Siam.

First Comes the Alleged JeWel-Studded
Robe of the Queen Of Siam.
The queen of Siam is the possessor
of the most costly dress owned by any
woman in the world, according to a
writer in Berlin newspaper. 1t is
silken robe of state in which the fab
rio is entirely hidden under an en-
broidery of diamonds, emeralds, rubies
and sapphires. A rough estimate OF
the value Of the garment is about S.,
100000
Next in value to this costume Is one
owned by one of the cars sisters,
Xenia Alexandrovna the wife of the
Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch.
1t is a traditional Russian national
dress, but is embroidered from the
points Of the three-horned cap down to
the toes of the shoes with precious
stones.
The cap and bodice are covered with
jewels. The weight of the rig Is so
great that 1t is almost unwearable.
Among the dresses in the tens OF
thousands of dollars is said to be one
made entirely of Brussels lace and
pearls and owned by an American wo-
man. The fichu alone is appraised at
$4,000, or about 200 times its weight
in gold
Then there is Russian princess
who owns fortune in the shape OF a
silver fox pelisse. The collar alone
cost $4,000 and the whole garment is
described to be worth its weight in
gold.
The widow OF Ii Hung Chang is also
rich in furs She has 500 fur garments
of every description, some of them OF
enormous value.

HORSE RACING IN GERMANY.
Ge,man-Bred Horses Made a Poor
Showing This Season.

Ge,man-Bred Horses Made a Poor
Showing This Season.
French horsemen are viewing com
placently the present status of horse
racing in Germany. The season in
Germany has just closed, but at home
and abroad, German-bred horses have
made poor showing, says Paris let
ter. One of the reasons ascribed is
that Austrians have been allowed to
buy German thoroughbreds as soon as
the latter show form. Laws restricting
the sale of German horses are now
proposed French horses, on the other
hand, have had decidedly successful
season, winning handsomely even in
England.
The French ppolicy now, as opposed
to the German, lis to buy and not sell
.horoughbreds. Several high-class
stations have just been purchased by
The government from English breed
ers.
Another matter of German sporting
which is occasioning comment here is
the proposed change OF the Kalshort
race course in Berlin. In steeplechases
over this course horses, after covering
1920 meters, are asked to pass
through lake 120 meters long and
about two feet in depth. The lake run
is not objected to in warm weather,
but now, 1T is argued, horses lose their
courage after passing the cold lake
once and are no longer good for steep
lechasing. The humane society has
taken the matter up in Berlin.

1t is SO easy to criticize things about
which the critic knows nothing.
Take, for instance, Peruna. There are
plenty of people who are willing to say
Peruna is this and that, who never have
tasted Peruna, and have never known
anything about its effects upon the
human system.
There are people who say, and proba-
bly, believe, that Peruna is used as q
beverage by some people. It would

the falsity Of such belief.
