THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 2. IN GENERAL A Pretty Midsummer Model. Last year white shoes with white dress were de rigeur; this year pale gray shoes are considered more elegant. And of a truth there is nothing daintier than a gown of thin white with gray silk stockings just peeping from beneath and the neatest of shoes to match. the long gloves the same delicate shade and the hat draped one of the new fashionable very long vells of light gray chiffon tulle. And what could excel this as a bicycle costume on a warm day—a short petticoat of light gray linen, a crisp white linen Pete: Pan waist with comfortable turn-down collar and soft silk tie, gray canvas shoes and lisse hooak a Ping pong hawk. The long vells in delicate shades have been the thing ever since their introduction at the Grand Prix some time ago. And the long scarves add a pleasing touch to the summer costume, the fancy now to have the scarf caught at the back with an immense buckle, preferably the same shade as the scarf. With a white dress a scarf of salmon pink is very effective, and one of pale gray has much elegance. A charming costume was recently noticed in the park of an afternoon; the gown pale gray volle trimmed with Charlity net and little lace frills, and worn with it a scarf of peachy pink. The hat was black tulle with masses of pink rose tuffily with it. The pretty we saw kind that which, however no wonder we speak of them, of what in big edge of the likewise embs of insts about the edge was a very brim.

But somehow or other the woman of today attains both picturesqueness and style. She has modified princess and Empire styles to the right point, styles are reminiscent of days gone by and yet keep to a modishness that makes the wearer feel she is not "queer." The little design here pictured has the high waist line, the short puffed sleeves, and a quaint, new-old hat that adds the finishing touch. The flowered muslins, shot silks, the shoulder capes and pelerines, help out the picturesqueness very considerably in the picture styles of the day—a conglomerate of many periods and many lands. Another revived old fashion's an aid, the wearing of black velvet throat and wrist ribbons fastened with quartit bit of old jewelry or heirloom buckle. One high-bred dame of our acquaintance, a stately woman whose white pompadour frames, a most aristocratic face, looks especially well in her black velvet ribbons and diamond buckles, very like a colonial dame of pedigree and wealth. The velvet band as a rule matches the gown in color, black by no means the only choice. Wedgwood blue is very pretty in velvet, and a bright dark blue becoming against the skin as well as a good background for jeewed clasp. In the fall fashions we shall find the picturesque element even more pronounced than at the present moment. The Parisians have for some time past looked kindly on the guipme princess, and now we of "the States" are to follow after. The guipme princess may be made very pretty, indeed, and promises to drive away entirely the unpretty corselet skirt.

"See here, Aunt Dinah, I sent two bruno-new shirts of my husband's to the wash last week, and you have brought only one back. Now, wait have you done with the other?" "Yes, Miss Lulu, ma'am. I was coming 'round to the question of dat dar shut. You knows dat I sn't a pusson dat pretends to one thing and protends to anudder, so I use agwine to tell de truf 'bout dat shut. It was dia-away. My ole man he up and dies of pink roses that harmonized beautifully with the scarf of deep pink. The prettiest lingerie hat of the year we saw yesterday, very unlike the kind that has become common—which, however, is so attractive it is no wonder the popularity. The one we speak of was made, as are most of them, of white linen. It was embroidered in big roses running close to the edge of the brim, the high crown was likewise embroidered, and there were insets of darned net with needlework at th edge. The shape of the hat was a very high sailor with generous brim. About the crown were folds of pink liberty wash-wribbon and on the bandeau at the back immense bows and long ends of the ribbon. At one side near the front two giant roses fell against the crown, one of pink white, the other a trifle more pink. The hat was really exquisite. Spots are stylish, and there are very pretty spotted muslins seen, both for morning frocks and dressier wear. One of the latter we illustrate, a blue-dotted white muslin. The lining is silk the color of the dot, the hat is trimmed with palest blush roses and ostrich feathers in shaded blues. The yoke is transparent, the sleeves elbow length, finished with row after row of lace frills. Reminiscent of Old Fashions, modeled after fashions obtaining in the long ago. The waist line is pushed high up, not under the arms, but up well from the hips. For those that do not like to go to extremes, there is a temperate model of this sort—a fichu arrangement crossed on the bosom allowing a filmy chemisette to show, and the longer end of the fichu tucked into a wide belt of all-round shape. There is a variety of shoulder capes, some that from the front present the appearance of a boloer and the back drawn down into folds at the waist line. They may be made of fine cloth, there are a few of brocaded silk, these last much like those worn by our grandmothers. 'is week, and de 'Bural Sassiey' dey didn't do nothing but covort 'round, and I neber had anything to lay dat man out in. So I helps myself to dat shut' for a fac. 'An' oh, Miss Lulu, honey, I jes' wishes you could hab seen how dat nigger sot dat shut off!" —Lippincott's. The emigration from Italy is in the proportion of 14 to every 1,000 inhabit- ants a year.

Of the Famous Philippine Band — Took Second Prize at St. Louis Exposition. Manila, P. L.—The most worthy thing that has happened in Manila for some time occurred some months ago when the combined chambers of commerce, assisted by the patronage of the governor general, the chief justice of the supreme court, the commanding general and commanding admiral of the United States forces in the Philippines, gave a benefit to Lieut. Walter H. Loving and his magnificent musical organization, the Constabulary band, at the grand opera house, as a testimonial of the appreciation of the people of the Philippines for his efforts in creating for Manila one of the best musical organizations in the world. It was a benefit fitting and proper, for no man in the islands has done more to make life for the foreign population tolerable and at the same time done a greater work in the interest of Filipinos than has Lieut. Loving. He is an Afro-American and his band are all Filipinos. An indefatigable worker, he set about a few years ago to organize a band in the constabulary, of which he is a first lieutenant, THEIR WIVES, AFRO-AMERICANS Many persons would be amazed if they saw with their own eyes, as they can, that amalgamation already exists in Charles county, Maryland. You may say it is but slight—comparatively it is—but not so slight in view of the often and positive assertion that it will never have the least foothold in this or any other state. In one neighborhood alone there are two brothers, originally of the best families, who have each a Negro concubine and have reared up families by them—not clandestinely, but openly and without fear. In one case, a son has grown 19 and married and lives adjacent to his father, who associates with him, in the same neighborhood there is a man who was of fairly good social standing, who married a lady of decidedly good standing. She having died a few years ago, he has since married a Negress. By the first wife there are children now in their teens.-Baltimore Sun. ```markdown ``` as a sort of a diversion from his other duties. Being an accomplished musician himself, he gathered together the best musicians he could find among the native people, who under the drill of his masterful hand, soon developed into an organization that attracted much local attention. His success led him to double his efforts, so when the St. Louis fair came aapace and the government conceived the idea of exploiting the Philippines at the exhibition, his organization was one of the first star attractions pounced upon and fitted out commensurately with the work it was expected to do. Then it was that the genius of our hero came to the front. In and out of season and at all kinds of hours he worked to mold his material into shape with the hope that when he got to St. Louis he would be able to show the outside world what a really big music-making organization should be. He fell short not one whit of his hope, for what he did at St. Louis is history, a part of which is, that he took second place only to the great band of the republic of France in the awards for excellence. This made the Philippines proud of him and its band; so today instead of being a creature of diverting hours, it it a permanent fixture, assured by the government of the Philippine islands. This testimonial was to the man who made it. And what an achievement for a boy who 15 years ago came to the garrison to help make merry in a life that is not by any, means all music. And how proud it made us feel to sit and watch him sway his admirers on this night as he would literally swing his musicians through the bars of a Beethenov or a Rubenstein selection by the very magic of his baton! It took us back to the long, long ago when he left us and the garrison and the frolic of our rifles and the jingle of our spurs, saying he was going to be a leader of musicians; and hied himself to Boston—to Newton street—that place where if they fall to make a leader of you, you simply lack the stuff of which leaders are made. Some day our hero will make his bow at Madison Square Garden. Then the readers of these lines shall know that the author of them was not simply playing a cornet solo to our hero's reputation. The selections rendered by the band on the night of the banquet included the overture from Rossini's "William Tell." the Moorish Suite from Chopin's "The Court of Granada;" the Torchlight Dance from Rubenstein's "Feramors;" the First Movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata;" and selections from Gounod's "Faust."—New York Age.

SAY HE'S A FRAUD SAY HE'S A FRAUD And an imposter—Many Very Angry People After Z. W. Mitchell. (From the Cleveland Leader.) Akron, O., August 3—Last week the city council passed a resolution at the request of Prof. Z. W. Mitchell, head of the Loyal Legion of Labor, an organization for Negroes, commending to President Roosevelt Mitchell's work for the uplifting of his race. This angered the several hundred Negroes in this city and they demanded of the council that the resolution be recalled. The council granted them a hearing and last night the entire colored population of the city assembled in the council chamber and denounced Mitchell as a fraud and impostor. They charged him with grafting upon the other Negroes. Several threats to hang Mitchell were heard. It is probable the resolution of commendation will be recalled.

Would Disfranchise in Tennessee. Chattanooga, Tenn.—White republicans of this state have started an agitation and sent forth a petition to deprive Tennessee Afro-Americans of the ballot. The method proposed is to establish an educational qualification for voters. The republicans have started this agitation because some of our voters at a recent election cast their ballots for a democratic candidate and thus secured his election, in a republican county. It is further stated that these white republicans are disgruntled because they spent large sums of money paying Afro-Americans' poll taxes, who later voted according to the dictates of their own consciences or interests rather than according to the dictation of the republican leaders. 2 One Year. $150 Six Months. 1 00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter.

OUR TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. The Gazette was too busy last week to felicitize its readers on its entrance upon its 24th year. Published every week on time since the 25th of August, 1883, is one of the many splendid records of this paper. As to its loyalty to the race and good work accomplished in that long period of effort, we leave it to our thousands of readers and friends to judge. Time will not permit us to go into details. Indeed we do not think it necessary, because The Gazette has a national reputation among our people for splendid and exceptional service rendered them in its 23 years' existence. We have only one favor to ask at this time of our readers and friends, and that is, that they "put their shoulders to the wheel" and give us material assistance in an effort to double the circulation of The Gazette by January 1, 1907. This can be done in a much shorter time if they will accede to our request, and it will more than double our power for good which will directly benefit not only our readers and friends, but the entire race. Get busy, please. ILLITERACY A CRIME AGAINST THE STATE. State superintendent of public instruction, Semour A. Mynders, in addressing the citizens of the great cities of Tennessee, pronounced illiteracy among the people as an intolerable crime for which every parent should be required to give an account. The first duty of the parent to the family and the state is to take advantage of and improve all school privileges accorded under the laws. Failure to meet this obligation imposes the restriction of the law. Yet under this same restriction, there is a criminal indifference on the part of parents to keep their children in regular school attendance. With very good reason then does Supt. Mynders take the position that illiteracy among the people is a crime. It is very apparent that most crimes emulate from any ignorant and vicious impulse. That impulse finds its seat in the brain, which when developed and untrained leads to dire mischief. Unless the growing evils among the masses, incident to popular ignorance, are eliminated by the proper education and training of the people's children, crime must follow. But illiteracy becomes a crime in the sense that neglect on the part of the parent to educate the children is a direct violation of the moral and civil law. Such violation then is criminal, and becomes an offence against the state, which should be redressed according to the manner and regulations so imposed. Illiteracy entails crime through ignorance on the part of the individual to know the law in its application to enforce the duties which it obligates. An individual is not relieved from the penalty of the law on account of his ignorance of law. He may violate the law ignorantly, not maliciously, but he must suffer the penalty even as the most well informed. The law is especially designed for the protection of all citizens alike; hence it is expected that all men shall accept and abide by it. For this reason any violation of the common law is a crime against the state. Illiteracy is a crime, because neglect to send a child to school so many months in the year is done in violation of a most sacred obligation. We are also confronted here with a two-fold responsibility. Responsibility to the state and to the child makes the penalty all the more severe and binding in consideration of the duty which we owe to the state and the child. We cannot hope to escape a penalty in view of a known obligation to the law. We are doubly guilty when we ignore the obligations of the moral and civil law, and no parent, no citizen should hope or expect to be absolved from a penalty enjoining the highest duty to the state. In whatever light we may view common illiteracy, can we regard it other than as a deliberate crime against the state when the child for no good reason is allowed to spend the entire 12 months in idleness and shame? Can we offer any word in palliation of an evil of deliberate neglect to educate, and one so prevalent in a large majority of the states in the union? THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1906. The American people know the needs of an education among the common people. They know of its actual benefits and its untold blessings to the country at large and they know that of all legacies it stands supreme as a guiding light and as a star of hope shining out upon the dark brown of night. It cannot be denied that in proportion as the people are educated, intellectually and morally, crime ceases in that same proportion. It has been said that ignorance is the mother of all crimes. Would we wipe out the most shameful blot that today blackens the fair name of our country? Would we rescue the masses from the destroying influences of sin and crime? Then let us call the children from their homes to the common schools, let us wage a ceaseless fight against illiteracy and ignorance, and save the states of our fast growing union from the pollutions of crime and vice and corruption so incident to the illiteracy of a people, the cares of the republic. Ohio has no "black laws," the Associated Press liar to the contrary notwithstanding. The Afro-American widow of Lafcadio Hearn, the poet who died wealthy in Japan and whom it is said had Negro blood in his veins, has only to establish the fact that she is his widow to recover what she is entitled to as such. The Ohio law against intermarriage of whites and Afro-Americans was wiped from the statutes with the remnants of this state's "black laws" (favoring separate schools, etc.) about 20 years ago as the result of the passage of Senator Ely's bill which Bishop B. W. Arnett, then a member of the Ohio legislature, reintroduced and passed through both branches of the Ohio assembly. State Railroad Commissioner Morris is again after those railroads that once a year seem to delight in slipping "Jim Crow" cars into Ohio. While there is no separation of passengers, citizens of this state object to cars on Ohio's soil so labeled as to indicate their baneful use in the south. Mr. Morris writes that he is disciplining the railroad that hauled those obnoxious "Jim Crow" cars clear across the state into Sandusky a week or ten days ago and that he proposes to keep at it until the nefarious practice is stopped for all time. About once a year for the last three or four years, he has had this same duty to perform, and has always willingly accomplished the results desired. The Cleveland Leader and News which seem to delight themselves in the use of the mongrel and insulting terms "coon," "darkey," "nigger," "negress" and the like, and in spelling the word "Negro" without the capital "N," are not fit to enter the houses of our people and should be barred from them as one suffering with smallpox or leprosy. Secretary Taft's Greensboro, N. C., speech certainly gave much encouragement to the "illywhite" republicans and democrats of that state and Tennessee, particularly, and the entire south in general. For Shame. O! For Shame! Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: The article on the first page of The Gazette last week referring to Nahum Brascher's praise of the malicious and insulting Cleveland News, should be highly appreciated by every man and woman of the race who has the least bit of race pride. Is that fellow, Brascher, crazy? He advocates race distinction in the most hurtful and dangerous ways. He would have us as a race build up more separations than the whites have yet thought of. Now he comes forward advising us to read the contemptible and abusive Cleveland News which is the worst of all. Brascher has missed his location. Lower Mississippi is the place for him. There, such fellows enhance there own interests by toadying to the whims of prejudiced whites (and are called W. M. "N.'s). In Cleveland it is out of place. Respectfully yours, WALTER L. BROWN. Cleveland, O., Aug. 8, 1906. A Reunion of Ohio Marylanders. Springfield, O.—The tenth annual meeting of the Ohio Marylanders' association opened here Wednesday for a two-days' session. Gov.

Preferred Suicide to Selling Whisky St. Louis—After writing a note saying that he took his life rather than again earn his living by selling liquor, Ernest Steinhardt, 57 years, whose home is said to have been in New York City, committed suicide Wednesday by taking morphine.

Portsmouth, O. — While passing through Lucesville, F. Walz, a traveling man of Columbus, and his wife were fired upon by an unknown man, one of the bullets passing through the woman's cravenest, just grazing her shoulder.

From a member of the Russian cabinet it is learned the government regards the storm raised by the dissolution of parliament as passed, and that it intends immediately to proceed to carry out the policy of "strong handed reform" to which Premier Stolypin committed himself. Although the mutinies at Sveaborg have been ended and one at Cronstad has been practically put down, the outlook is still black. The revolutionists, whose hands were suddenly forced by the premature rising at Sveaborg, apparently are undaunted at these initial reverses, and intend to persist in their programme of calling a general strike. At Kursk an encounter took place between peasants and dragonsoes, during which six peasants were killed and three were wounded. After an all night secret session at Terikol, Finland, the council of workmen's deputies decided to overcome the obstacle offered by the apathy of the railroad men toward the general strike, by the use of bombs. The fate of the general strike, which although it has affected close to 70,000 men in St. Petersburg, has met with only slight response in other sections of Russia, probably will be decided with an adverse expression of public opinion. MISCCELLANEOUS. That the honor of the United States is of more importance than the punishment of a million criminals was the statement made by Judge Hough in the United States circuit court at New York in the habeas corpus proceedings instituted on behalf of Charles C.

Is indicted by a Grand Jury at Chicago. Chicago, Ill.—An indictment charging the Standard Oil Co. with receiving rebates in the form of non-payment of storage charges to certain railroad companies, was returned Wednesday by the federal grand jury before Judge Bethea. The indictment came as a surprise, inasmuch as the grand jury has just begun the investigation. The Standard Oil Co. is the only defendant, no officials of the company and no railroad companies or officials being named. The bond of the defendant was fixed by Judge Bethea at $25,000. This is the case investigated by the grand jury in Cleveland, where it was found that the grand jury had no jurisdiction. The testimony taken there was transferred to Chicago and the documents in evidence were identified by witnesses who testified in Cleveland. It was on this testimony and evidence that the indictment was returned so quickly. The grand jury immediately resumed its session, to take up the investigation of the charge that the Standard Oil Co. was given direct rebates by some railroad. The indictment contains 19 counts, each count constituting a separate charge. The true bills come under the Elkwing law, a fine of from $1,000 to $20,000 for each violation. Under this indictment the government procure a conviction on the trial of the issues, a fine of $380,000 as a maximum under the Elkwing law may be assessed. The indictment alleges that by a system of granting the Standard Oil Co. certain concessions, the oil company benefited to the extent of $8,506 during a period of time from August, 1903, to February, 1905. The indictment, as explained by the government's attorneys, means that in 19 instances certain consignments of oil for the Standard Oil Co. were stored by the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad Co. and that the railroad company received no payment of five cents per ton per day from the oil company for such storage, but that its competitors were compelled to pay this amount. This is equivalent to granting a concession, the non-payment of the storage charge practically a rebate in favor of the oil company. Each count sets up a discrimination of from $300 to $500 a month in favor of the oil company. It will be necessary for officials of the Standard Oil Co. to appear in court and present bond of $25,000 for the corporation. JAPANESE POACHERS ARE KILLED. Raid-on Seal Rookeries at St. Paul Island, Alaska, Ends Disastrously. Dutch Harbor, Alaska—Five Japanese were shot and killed on the island of St. Paul, of the Pribyloff group, by order of the agent of the department of commerce and labor on July 17, as the result of a raid by four Japanese schooners on the seal rockeries. The revenue cutter McCullough has resided here from St. Paul with 12 prisoners, two seriously wounded, who were turned over to Deputy Marshal Harmon. The raiders were discovered lying near Northeast Point, St. Paul, by native lookouts of the North American Commercial Co., which leases the seal privilege from the government. Word was telephoned from the patrol station near the rookery, for which the raiders were aiming, and Special Agent Lempke, of the department of commerce on duty in the Pribyloff islands, arrived on the spot as the Japanese reached shore. He ordered the boat's crew to surrender, which they did. On climbing the promontory at the end of the cape, overlooking one of the larger rookeries, a schooner was seen close in shore, looking straight down over the cliff, where a saw a dozen or more Japanese skimming a great number of seal, which had been shagged indiscriminately. The raiders refused to surrender when Lempke reached the scene and tried to make off with their booty in small boats, several of which were drawn up on shore. The agent then ordered his guard of natives to open fire. The Japanese offered no resistance, being without firearms. Three of the raiders fell dead on the beach, a fourth was seen to be thrown overboard from one of the boats that escaped and a fifth body drifted ashore later in another boat. Washington, D. C.-Acting Secretary of State Bacon has sent to Ambassador Wright at Tokyo the substance of a dispatch received from Solicitor Sims at Sitka, Alaska, regarding the killing of Japanese fishermen at St. Paul Island. In sending the dispatch the acting secretary states that it is forwarded for the purpose of giving information such as this government has of a likely incident, news of which may reach Japan in distorted form. There is no intention of offering an apology. Seals are regarded as property by international law and the Japanese killed by American officials on St. Paul Island stand in the same position as burglarists in the act of stealing.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Completely Cured Her. The great good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, and thinking people generally. Mrs. Sara Wilson The following letter is only one of many thousands which are on file in the Pinkham office, and go to prove beyond question that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound must be a remedy of great merit, otherwise it could not produce such marvelous results among sick and ailing women. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "About nine months ago I was a great sufferer with female trouble, which caused me pain, extreme nervousness and frosting. I failed to relieve me. I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and within a short time felt better, and after taking five bottles of it I was entirely cured. I therefore splendid female tonic. It makes the monthly periods regular and without pain; and what a blessing it is to find such a remedy after many doctors fail to help you. I am pleased it is to all smiling women." Mrs. Sara Wilson, 31 East 31st Street, Cincinnati, Ohio. If you have suppressed or painful periods, weakness of the stomach, indigestion, blotting, pelvic catarrh, nervous prostration, dizziness, faintness, "don't-t-care" and "want-to-be-left alone" feeling, exotaxis, backache or the blues, these are sure indiscretions of female weakness, or some derangement of the organs. In such cases there is one tried and true remedy—Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Libby's Food Products enable you to make good meals out of "hurry" meals.

In 1808 Napoleon formed the idea of having a traveling library in order to make his hours of intellectual recreation independent of the exigencies of a campaign or the delays of a courier. The proposed library was to form about a thousand volumes. The books were to be of small deudecto size, printed in good type, and without margins in order to save space. They were to be bound in morocco, with flexible covers and limp backs. The boxes for their conveyance were to be covered with leather and lined with green velvet, and were to average 60 volumes apiece, in two rows like the shelves in a library. A catalogue was to accompany them, so arranged that the emperor could readily find any desired volume. The distribution of subjects was as follows: Forty volumes on religion, 40 of epic poetry, 40 of the drama, 60 volumes of other poetry, 60 volumes of history and 160 novels. "In order to complete the quota," ran the instructions, "the balance shall be made up of historical monograms"—James Westfall Thompson, in the Atlantic. REST THAT RESTS. Few persons know how to rest. Rushing for trains and boats isn't resting. Being elbowed by a vulgar mob isn't resting. Neither is staying home and being annoyed by endless details. Overdressing, overeating and too much excitement are not restful. Over Sunday rest is best accomplished by a trip to some restful place. The idea is to discover what best agrees with one and then to follow it as well as possible. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY. AUGUST 11. 1906. Our Pattern Department PRETTY CORSET - COVER AND UNDERSKIRT. UNDERSKIRT. 5018 6610 Patterns Nos. 5018 and 5019. The making of fine lingerie is always fascinating employment, and much dainty handwork is now used in the making of these garments. Fine nainsook was selected for making the corset cover and underskirt shown in the illustration and Valenciennes lace in combination with hand embroidery was used for trimming. The one piece corset cover is the simplest of garments to make, and the circular shaping of the underskirt is to be recommended as it does away with all unnecessary fullness at the top. The yoke may be omitted if desired, as the garment is well fitted by darts. Longcloth, cambridge and batiste are all suitable for the making. The medium size will require one yard of 36-inch material for the corset cover and four and seven-eighths yards for the skirt. Ladies' One Piece Corset Cover No. 5018: Sizes for 22, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46 inches bust measure. Ladies' Circular Short Petticoat No. 5010: Sizes for 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32 inches waist measure. The above illustration calls for two separate patterns. The price is ten cents for the corset cover and ten cents for the petticoat. This pattern will be sent to you on receipt of 10 cents. Address all orders to the Pattern Department of this paper. Be sure to give size and number of pattern wanted. For convenience, write your order on the following coupon: No 5018 AND 5610. SIZE..... NAME..... ADDRESS..... MISSES' SHIRT-WAIST. 5556.

It is known that they are much more sensitive than men to atmospheric impurities of the kind which cause deadly accidents in mines, and it is argued that whenever or wherever a white mouse becomes incapable of motion because of air poison it should be taken as proof that miners must seek safety. Natives Will Not Work All the efforts made by a Liverpool firm to promote the cultivation of cotton in Palestine have been fruitless, even though labor costs only 25 cents a day and land is one-tenth the price of Egyptian land. The chief cause of the failure is said to be the incapacity and laziness of the natives. Invented Moving-Pictures Moving pictures were invented by an English engineer as early as the beginning of the eighteenth century. The arrangement consisted then of thin strips of wood on a canvas background. With the aid of wires they could be made to move quickly so that the effect of action was given. HON. W. H. KELBAUGH OF WEST VIRGINIA PRAISES PE-RU-NA. M. Hon. W. H. Kelbaugh. A Cold at An Age of The Time. Especially in Hot Weather, is Very Depressing to the System. Peruna is an Unqueued Tonic For Such Cases. Read What People Say About It. Hon. W. H. Kelbaugh, Ex-Member W. Va. Legislature, 204 9th street, N. E., Washington, D. C., writes: "You can use my name and word at all times for Peruna as a medicine and tonic unequaled. I have tried it for a stubborn cold and badly run down system. I tried all other medicines and several expensive doctor bills. Peruna cured me, strengthened me more than ever, and saved me money." Mrs. Clara Littert, Seafield, Ind. says: "Last fall I took a severe cold. I took Peruna, began to improve and kept on so until I was able to do my work." English the World Language English the World Language. The new world language, Esperanto, seems to have already won more advocates than the older Volapuk. No manufactured language, however, seems to have much chance in competition with English, which long age displaced French as the most useful and widely spoken language and which is gaining faster than ever in all parts of the world. Quite recently the German government has ordered that all railway officials and employees must learn to speak English. In Antwerp also the authorities are urging all classes to study English and are providing special facilities in the public schools; the city has become "almost an English-speaking port." In Japan all school children are now obliged to learn our language. A few years hence tourists from this country will be able to get along there as easily as on a trip at home. With Great Britain, India, Australia, Canada, the United States and large sections of Africa using English, what hope is there for any other language? New Element in Commerce. Ramie, a species of gigantic nettle which produces, directly beneath its outer bark, a fiber that can be woven alone or in conjunction with either wool or cotton, and gives to the cloth into which it is woven a beautiful silky finish, is being produced in China at the present time to an extent that promises to make it an important element in the world's commerce Unlike cotton, it is not an annual crop; once planted it will produce for a dozen years. It does not ripen evenly, and as soon as one crop is pulled the plant goes on producing again; occasionally, in tropical countries—and it is only in a very warm climate that it can be grown—one plant will give four crops in a year. A good stand of plants will run from two to three tons of fiber per acre. India's Cotton Crop. The cotton crop of India was larger last year, 1905, than the general average. About 20,000,000 acres were planted in cotton and the yield was about 3,500,000 bales. During the year there were exported from India to other countries over 2,125,000 bales of raw cotton at a value of over $81,000,000, the four countries, Japan, Germany, Belgium and Italy, in the order named, being the largest purchasers, they together buying nearly 1,500,000 bales of Indian cotton, while Japan alone took nearly 500,000 bales. Ancestry of Dion Boucicault The name of Boucleault is French in origin. Dion Boucleault was the son of a French refugee who fled to Ireland and married an Irish girl.

"Postum has done a world of good for me," writes an Ills. man. "I've had indigestion nearly all my life but never dreamed coffee was the cause of my trouble until last Spring I got so bad I was in misery all the time. "A coffee drinker for 30 years, it irritated my stomach and nerves, yet I was just crazy for it. After drinking it with my meals, I would leave the table, go out and lose my meal and the coffee too. Then I'd be as hungry as ever. "A friend advised me to quit coffee and use Postum—said it cured him. Since taking his advice I retain my food and get all the good out of it, and don't have those awful hungry spells. "I changed from coffee to Postum without any trouble whatever, felt better from the first day I drank it. I am well now and give the credit to Postum." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek. Mich.

How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig' Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. BOY'S TERRIBLE ECZEMA. Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts —Hands Pinned Down—Miraculous Cure by Cuticura. "When my little boy was six months old, he had eczema. The sores extended so quickly over the whole body that we at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular holes in his cheeks, large enough to put a finger into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as a finger, and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and supurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest and back, in short the whole body was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we had to pin his hands down; otherwise he would scratch his face and make an open sore. I think his face must have itched most fearfully. "We finally thought nothing could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be put under good medical care there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cucurita. We made a trial with Cucurita Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly as the sickness had appeared it also began to disappear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before. F. Hohrath, President of the C. L. Hohrath Company, Manufacturers of Silt Ribbons, 4 to 20 Rink Alley, South Bethlehem, Pa., June 5, 1905." TWO WRITERS OF BIOGRAPHY. Johnson and Boswell Exponents of Different Schools. It is an interesting fact in the history of literary genres that two of the great examples of biographical writing occur almost side by side. Less than a decade separates the completion of Johnson's "Lives of the Poets"—happily honored in the new edition of the late Dr. Birkbeck Hill—from the publication of his own life by Boswell. Yet with the latter book a new type of biography came into being. Johnson, in the main, had, like most of his predecessors, followed a simple narrative and expository method, prefixing a plain story of the poet's life to a systematic account of his character and a critical estimate of his works; he gathered his facts and impressions together and spoke for the author and for himself. Boswell, on the other hand, making use of a more dramatic method, succeeded in his attempt to let the author reveal himself, and, instead of an exposition of character, painted a picture of personality, to which his own comments were subordinate. What we see as a type of mind and character in Johnson's work, we see as a living man in Boswell.—The Forum. New York's Diamond Cross. New York city has the largest diamond cross in the world, though it is not recognized as such. Its main line runs along Malden lane, with its foot resting on Broadway and its arms extending north and south along Nassau street. Here there are 480 men in the diamond business and there are more of the gems there than in the same space in any other city. M.

The fatted caif never loves the prodigal son. Truth never runs around asking people to believe it. take a step nearer the drive. People who need to be continually propped up are not worth the prop. When men become suddenly good they should be executed immediately. It is easier for some people to believe the impossible than the possible. Before it was thrown down, the Golden Calf had a son, and it is still mooing around the world. It is self-evident that to successfully fathom the motives of men one must be a man himself.
