physicians in the treatment OF rhe"
matism; the latter vegetable has,
moreover, been raised by French
physician to the rank OF specific

"a larger field for the therapeutic

White Grape Salad with Grape Fruit.
Cut up a large grape fruit into
wedges; free these from the white
skin or pith and from seeds. Add g
pound of white grapes seeded, not
skinned, and cut in halves. Sprinkle
with salt, three tablespoonfuls of oil
and one Of lemon juice. Mix well; let
stand on ice for about an hour and
serve on lettuce leaves. The lettuce
must not, however, have had the dress
ing poured on it. Every one does not,
it seems know that lettuce willis soon
after the oil and vinegar have touched

it must not be dressed until it comes
to the table or just before. But it
can be deity placed around the main

with mayonnaise or merely with oil
and vinegar.
Grape Jelly.
Use II possible the late Isabella
grapes if you wish a blue jelly. or, if
not grapes that are under ripe. ANY
fruit that is fully ripe is unfit for Jelly,

WOMAN IS THE
 BETTER-BETTER HALF

Man only thinks he is the lord of creation. His in reality, is the puppet crown. The power behind the throne pulls the strings. Woman rules by wit, by art, by subtlety; but chief of her weapons are beauty of face and grace of line.
 Women feel their sovereignty grow less sovereign, therefore, as their weight increases. This is a fatal error. TO prevail women must be graceful. Man Will not escape slavery, but he will be some one else's slave. That's the rub.

T.ondon october 2S.-(Special 1.-The fact that the Earl of Durham has been dp- nosnted to act as lord higher steward to the King during the coming Durbar trip to India and that he is to be addressed while so acting as your grace, IS taken to presage that upon the return Of the royal party from India the strawberry leaves are to be bestowed upon Lord Durham and he is to be elevated to the highest rank of the peerage.
 The Earl of Durham, among other ais functions. enjoys that of being the only twin in the peerage, and also of being so much like his brother that on occasion they have been mistaken for one another. He is one of 13 children, and among his brothers-in-law are the Earl of Penn broke the Duke of Leeds and Lord Rob- ert Cecil. The Lambton pedigree can be traced back to the 12th century; but, un- fortunately, the civil war played havoc with the family archives. It is, however, pretty clear that there were Lampton's in the country of Durham at the time of the conquest For instance, there was a John Hampton in the 16th century. He married the great granddaughter of Ed ward ", and his son became the husband of Frances Eure, 10th in descent from Edward III The first earl was our ann bassador at St. Petersburg in the reign of William ", and governor general of British North America in the early Vlc- torian era.
 Lord Durham is an out and out sports man. He is an adept at every game ex- cept golf and he once gave the reason why he did not play that. My father" he nuaintly observed, "once gave a couple of golf clubs and some balls to my twin brother and myself, so we began to smlte the balls about the place. While I was stopping down to pick up a ball my brother took stroke and the ball struck me. As I thought the Hon. F. W. had done the deed purposely, there ensued a

Pinlzham's Vegetable Con- pound, made from roots and herbs, actually does cure these obstinate dis eases of women, and that every such suffering woman owes it to herself to at least give Lydia E.

MT. and Mrs. Edward Randolph Hop kins announce the engagement and ap- preaching marriage of their daughter, Annie Cabot, to MT. Ebert Alexander Hamilton of Birmingham, the wedding to take place the afternoon of Novem- Der %, at o'clock, at their home in Columbus, Miss.
 The above will be read with interest in Birmingham as Miss Hopkins has been a frequent visitor to her aunt, Mrs. John Sidney White, and has scores of friends in the younger set. The marriage will be entirely private owing to recent be- reavement in the families of both bride and groom. After a wedding trip the young couple will come ito this city to make their home.
