NEWSY NOTES ON DRESS.
VmIoIM Illi* of Finery Tlint Arc in
Eriilrnre In the Sensor*’*
Conlomci,
A narrow rod leather belt and bag
•are as smiai't and simple as may be.
Skirts and entire garments of accor
dion-plaited silk are among- the novel
ties, says a fashion authority.
In the new silk and linen handker
chiefs for women the most attractive
are in shades of lavender, with dots
or stripes in white.
The use of colored semi-precious
stone»in working out embroidered de
signs for dinner gowns is on the in
crease, as the effect is rich and pleas
ing.
One of the fnds now is to have flow
ers tied with wide ribbon of mousse
line de soie or a violet silk cord with
little silk balls or tassels at the ends.
An interesting fob is in the form of
an old silver coin with an old tavern
upon it and an old-fashioned coach and
four, the latter in enamel, yellow and
blue.
Simple in effect is a pair of corset#
finished with wide white satin ribbon
•at both upper and lower edges. This is
simply a facing put on plainly, and is
more effective than many frillsof lace.
There.is nothing that cannot be
found in pongees, plain and embroid
ered. A small embroidered figure in
brown is one of the best combinations,
but tio one will say that pongee made
up with black is not smart.
Such things as there are in muslin
underskirts, lace trimmed! They
came with a white ground and colored
dots of different kinds upon them, are
well shaped, and have flaring flounces
with insertions and a lace edge. They
are charming to wear with some light
gowns and are comparatively inexpen
sive.
Deep cream with red is always a
good coirriilnation, and a broad band of
heavy cream lace outlines the neck
and front of a bright red silk waist
made by one of the leading tailors.
The bodice is cut low at the throat,
pointed slightly in the front, and this
broad band of lace encircles the neck
and extends down the center of the
front.
ANGELICA ROOT.
Retnrn to Favor of nn Old Kiiglish
Flavoring for Sweets and
j Perfume for Clothed.
There is. a sort of fad to-day for
early English goods and merchandise.
The old poultry seasonings are used
more than ever, chamomile and
chamomile lea are again in vogue in
the sick-room, and angelica plant is
for sale in the shops and stores, says
the New York Post. Many years ago
the angelica was exceedingly popular.
The flowers were employed to give
sweet perfume to clothes-presses and
bureau drawers, the tender stalks
were candied or preserved, and made
paiataoie coniecuons, tne leaves were
used as pot herbs, and the roots after
washing and scraping were converted
into a medicinal tea. There is a dif
ference between the English and the
American, angelica, the former being
smaller, more delicate, and more aro
matic. The herb now in the market is
the Englis-h variety; most of it is in>
ported, but a large amount comes
from this country, where the British
plant has been successfully acclimated.
All these old uses have been revived,
and some new ones added to 1 m. The
stems cut into small pieces, In un
til soft, and then dipped in molten
sugar or in confection is’ cream,
make a pleasant demulcent that is
quite etlleaeious for light coughs or
colds. The leaves chopped up with
parsley form an agreeable dressing
for lamb chops, and when mixed with
parsley and other pot herbs improve
the flavor of a pot-roast.
Its most enjoyable use is undoubted
ly ns a chief ingredient in the pot-pour
ri jar. The best combination is one
third red rose leaves and two-thirds of
angelica flowers and leaves cut fine
with a sharp knife. These should be
placed in a jar with a little salt,
covered with water, weighted down
by a stone, and then the jar
itself should be covered air-tight. In
a short time the essential oils of an
gelica will separate from the vege
table tissue, and will give forth per
fume in almost unlimited quantities,
whenever the cover of the jar is raised.
For BliMtervd Sikln.
When the skin blisters, peels and
reddens, or becomes irritable and in
flamed, the following wash will bo
found most beneficial: Milk, one pint;
carbonate of soda, one ounce; glycer
ine. one ounce; powdered borax, one
half ounce. This can be used several
times a day, if required. If there ate
cases that it does not help, and it must
be remembered that different skins re
quire different treatment, the follow
ing emulsion may lie more successful:
Take one-third of an ounce of bitter
almonds and one ounce of blanched
sweet almond oil. Pound the almonds
to a paste in a mortar, add eight
ounces/ of rose-water, and strain
through a cheese cloth. Next add 15
grains of benzoate of soda.—Ledger

TO YOUNG LADIES,
From the Treasurer of the
Young People’s Christian Tem
perance Association, Elizabeth
Caine, Fond du Lac, Wis.
“Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam: — I want to
tell you and all the young ladies of the
country, how grateful I am to you for
all the benefits I have received from
using Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vege
table Compound. I suffered for
MISS ELIZABETH CAINE,
eight months from suppressed men
struation, and it effected my entire
system until I became weak and debil
itated, and at times felt that I had a
hundred aches in as many places. I
only used the Compound for a few
weeks, but it wrought a change in me
which I felt from the very beginning.
I have been very regular since, have no
pains, and find that my entire body is
as if it was renewed. I gladly recom
mend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound to everybody.”—
Miss Elizabeth Caine, 69 W. Division
St., Fond du Lac, Wis.—$5000 forfeit if
above testimonial Is not genuine.
At such a time the greatest aid to
nature is Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound. It prepares
the young system for the coming
change, and is the surest reliance for
woman’s ills of every nature.
Mrs. Pinkliam invites all
young women who are ill to
write her for free advice. Ad

Patient Follows Doctor’s Directions
to the Letter, nut Does Not
Get Well.
A Macclesfield man was in a very bad wayi
of health. After much anxious thought he
determined to consult a doctor, relates Lon
don Tit-Bits.
The latter, after a most minute exam
ination, pronounced the patient to be suf
fering from a severe form of dyspepsia, and
prescribed for him accordingly. He was
very particular in giving full directions as
to diet.
A light breakfast—cup of cocoa, dried
toast, and other simple fare; plain dinner
—chop, no potatoes, glass of claret; and
only one cigar per day. He was most care
ful to impress the fact upon the patient's
mind that the one cigar should never be ex
ceeded.
The patient went away and returned in
& week worse than ever. The doctor was
nonplussed.
Upon inquiries he found that the man
had most faithfulFy carried out all his in
structions to the letter.
“I know what it is,” replied the man of
medicine. “You've had more than one
cigar a day. It’s the smoking that’s done
it.”
“Yes; I know that, doctor. It is the
smoking; but I’ve only had one cigar at
a time, and that, was quite enough, for 1
never smoked in my life until you told
me to!”

When thfc Day Went to Sleep.
Once upon a time, from behind the cur
tain of darkness, came smiling day, and,
wrapped in the gray dawn, took its kith
in tne sparkling dew. Then its morning
garment was changed to a cloth of gold, new
made by the sun.
The d'ay wore on. Through the hours it
went wearing a smile of satisfaction, until
the donning of the more somber evening
dress, after which it was wrapped in the
mantle of the night.

neaa of Preachers.
Rev, Dr. Minot J. Savage tells the follow- j
ing story, of which he claims not to see the .
point, to illustrate the guilelessne.ss of mem- ■
hers of his profession, says the New York
Tribune. A clergyman and a prosperous ■
layman were one day discussing the various ]
aspects of the minister’s occupation. .Final
ly the layman said, a little bit scornfully:
“The trouble with you parsons is that you ■
! are not practical.”
“But I insist that that is exactly what we
are,” replied the clergyman, warmly.
“No, you’re not,” said the layman, firmly.
“Well, how do you make that out?” in
quired the indignant parson.
“Well, I’ll tell you. You had an offer to
go to Boston at a salary of $5,000 didn’t you?”
"Yes.”
“And you’re getting $3,000 here?”
“Well, what of that?”
“Nothing—except you said you had a call,
didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Well, that wasn’t a call at all. It was a
raise.”

ing, disfiguring humours of the skin, scalp, and blood,
becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only
because of its suffering but because of the dreadful fear
that the disfiguration is to be lifelong and mar its future
happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves
with the best, the purest, and most effective treatment
available, viz., THE CUTICURA TREATMENT.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the skin of crusts and scales
and soften the thickened cuticle, gentle anointings with Cuticura Oint
ment, to instantly allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and
heal, are all that can be desired for the alleviation of the suffering of skin
tortured infants and children and the comfort of worn-out, worried mothers.
A single set is often sufficient to cure when the best physicians fail.

I have found Dr. Moffett’s TEETHIN A a splendid remedy and aid for ray teething children. When my oldest
boy was a teething child, every succeeding day warned us that we would inevitably lose him. I happened upon
TEKTHINA, and began at once administering it to him, and his improvement was marked in 24 hours, and from
that day on he recuperated. I have constantly kept it and used it since with my children, and have taken great
pleasure in sounding its praises to all mothers of young children. I found it invaluable even after the teething
period was passed. MRS. D. H. HARDY.
