INMY FAMILY “t Have Used Pe-ru-na at Varlous Times for Several Years,’’ 1 Recommend Pe-ru-na. ‘R. EDWARD M. BURTT, 5 N. Jef- ferson Ave., St. Louis, Mo., writes: “Itaffords me much pleasure toan- nounce that I have used your medicine at various times for several years, and that it has given entire satisfaction, not only in my own family, but also that of others of my friends. And would cheer- fully recommend the use of Peruna, as I certainly do endorse your medicine.” Catarrh of Head, Nose, Throat. Mr. Charles Levy, 80 Allen St., York, N. Y., writes; “T am very glad to tell you of the cures wrought by Peruna in my family. New tarrh of the nose, was cured by two bottles of Peruna, and I had catarrh of the head, nose, throat and ears. One bottle of Peruna cured me.” Pe-ru-na Tablets:—Some people prefer tablets, rather than medicine in a fluid form.

Little Distinctive Touches Give In- dividuality That the Amateur Is Seldom Able to Duplicate with Effectiveness. The making of a fashionable hat at home by inexperienced hands is no longer an easy task, according to the Boston Globe. The hats of to-day are an art in themselves, and unless you are a very clever copyist you are fool- ish to attempt to waste goods. You do not pay so much for the material that is on the hat, but it is the style that makes the cost run up. It is that indescribable something that Velvet The Square Loops, Ribbon Effect. counts—the way the bow is tited, in manner in which the ribbon is twisted, the exact angle of the feath- ers and. such little things that make or mar a fashionable hat. Hats are really huge in size and we see no signs of anything else. I asked a fashionable milliner the other day |} if he had any small hats. “O, yes,” he said, “a few for old ladies and some plain ones for motoring. “That’s all. We can’t sell them if GOWNS FOR THE GROWING GIRL. Deep Tucks Add Much to Usefulness of the Garment. In making gowns for growing girls it is well to provide for the outgrow- ing of the garment in advance, with- out spoiling the effect in the begin- ning by making them too large and ill-fitting. For instance, the belts of the dresses may be set up en the waistband in- stead of on the edge. In this way one is enabled to lengthen the waist line by setting the belt down some two inches. It is usu- ally in this particular that the gqwn is first apt to need lengthening. Deep tucks are much in vogue, and are exceedingly convenient for this purpose. It is quite easy to leave enough space between each of two tucks to enable one to take others on the wrong side under the wider .qnes. These will not show at all, and can be let out as needed, without any oth- er change in the skirt. The outgrowing of the sleeves may be provided against in a measure by setting the cuffs up, instead of join- ing at the edge of the sleeves. Also tiny little tucks may be taken at the bend of the elbow at the in- side seam. All these little points add to the lifetime of a frock, and mean a great| cushion should be filled with emery|ing at his hands, his robe, saving to a busy mother. NOVEL USE OF MALINETTE. ’ Ses Ee Pretty Neck Dressings Can Easily Be Made at Home. Since maline has been brought out in a water-proofed quality, styled as malinette, some very beautiful neck dressings have been shown in this diaphanous fabric. The shops are ask- ing goodly prices for these novelties, but the handy women can make the same things at home at a comparative- ly small part of the price asked for the ready-made articles. A combina- tion of white point d’esprit and white malinette is shown in this neck ruche, trimmed with white sgtin ribbons. The ruche, which is some three-quar- ters of a yard in length and about seven inches thick, is made of four very full ruffies of the spotted net, each wider than the other and set on an inch wide band of white satin. The edges of these four ruffles are finished with full pleatings of the malinette, giving a sofe fluffy effect, which is possible with no other material. The malinette being moisture-proof, the dampness in the air only serves to give it more body, so that after all a ruche of it is quite a satisfactory in- vestment. The rounded ends of the ruche are finished with short and long loops of white satin ribbon depending from large rosettes. they are small.” However, betause large hats are being worn, do not go to extremes and get the largest one you can find. Unless you can have many hats, be moderate in your choice of sizes and colors. Purple, in all its regal splendor, has been overdone in the large cities, and its life will be a short one. It seems the most difficult thing in the world} z to make a color fashionable and Jy sort; | poses, before we organized,” said one common. Women jumped at purple, bought it in gowns, hats, stockings, boas and every imaginable garment— so much so that the more exclusive set are avoiding it. This latter class have turned their} soft; favor toward peacock blues, browns, tea greens, all of which are colors that will stand the test of a second season’s wear. All hats must tilt down. Most of the shapes are modified forms of the mushroom, falling rather low in the back and are worn well off the face. No bandeaus are worn in most of the large hats, but if any is used, it must be even all around the crown and not over a half inch in width: This gives just enough place to put your hatpins through; but many of the handsomest hats are made abso- lutely without bandeau, setting close on the head. Nothing is raised at. all. Little mocking birds are among the newest ideas in; hat trimming, their appearance being caused by the de- mand for the peculiar tinge of blue- green which is found.on the plumage of this bird. They are not cheap, but are exceedingly smart on a hat that blends those shades. Another new idea is the square bows of velvet ribbon such as are pic- tured. This effect is made by wiring; the ribbon two ways across the ribbon and directly through the middle. It is a very up-to-date trimming and helps to fill in around the crown of the larger shapes. Embroidered bands of hand work are being used around the crowns of velvet hats to give them a bit of life. These hats are to be purchased in shops where Japanese trimmings are carried and sell from $1.75 up. To an otherwise dull hat they give a dash | and style that is inimitable. Some- times a buckle is made of heavy buck- | ram and covered with this gay em- broidery instead of running the band} around the crown. Oe OTN O ONO -FOR THE TOILET TABLE. Useful Cushion Designed for Hatpins and Other Articles. When a pincushion is intended for hatpins it should not be of a very light nature, or it may easily overbalance. A useful little pincushion is shown in our sketch that is not likely to over- turn. It consists of a small white. jar, on the outer side of which a pretty little floral design has been painted. | A circular cushion, covered with vel- vet, is made to exactly fit the in- tetrior, and this is fastened in with glue. To finish off the cushion a rib- bon with a bow on either side may be; came tied round the neck of the jar. powder, mixed with bran or sawdust, to keep the points of the pins quite smooth. “DETECTIVES ARE | | _that cryptic contraction “speshes” jupon the platform, and as it fell, IMPORTANT PART OF RAILROAD SYSTEM. Organized for the Protection of Ship- pers and the Traveling Public— Have Put a Stop to Dis- honest Practices. “I don’t know what the railroads would do without the speshes nowa- days,” said a railroad official, using as if everybody ought to understand what it meant. He was referring to the members of the Association of Railway Special Agents. Compactly, they’re the rail- jroad detectives, the rairoad secret police; and “railroad special agent” has been contracted by railroad folk to “spesh.” “There were railroad detectives -of men with no particular train- ing and summoned for special pur- of the speshes. “But speaking general- ly, before we got together and began to branch out in our work the rail- roads, the shippers and the traveling public were virtually at the mercy of all sorts of thieves and swindlers. “For one thing, the railroads had no reliable method of discovering and stopping peculations or outright rob- ‘beries on the part of their own em- ployes. The tracing system, so-called, {in the course of which the railroads sent supposedly honest émployes on the trail of suspected employes, never worked out in practice. The men chosen to-do the tracing work general- ly showed themselves to be incompe- tent, or: they were easily led into be- lieving anything they were told by the employes under suspicion, or for a rakeoff of the swag they swung along with the crooks, so that the rail- roads were all but helpless in running down plunderers. “But it’ took the railroads, all the same, a good many years to acknowl- edge their helplessness in this respect. A group .of powerful, railroad men finally came to the front with the sug- gestion that the railroads would have to be secret policed. The railroad secret service was regularly organized not long after that. The fine work ac- complished by the secret.service of the American Bankers’ association and the American Jewelers’ association was an argument in favor of the or- ganization of a’railroad service. “At first it was intended that the work of the railroad corps should be confined exclusively to the protection of the railroads from dishonesty on the: part of their own employes and to runnning down robbers of freight. in transit. Fact is, the service did op- erate exclusively along those lines for a while, and with whooping success. It is now pretty generally understood by railroad employes tempted to engage in dishonest practices that they have about the same eventual chance of be- ing grabbed with the goods as counter- \feiters have of being corralled with the merchandise by the United States secret service, and I needn’t enlarge upon the dimensions of that chance. “Our work for the railroads, in a way, is comparable with that of the postoffice inspectors. When it is un- derstood how inevitably the postoffice inspectors get the postoffice employes who yield to temptation, this compari- son will be the better understood.” Railroads in Spain. The doors of the third-class cars are ' narrow, writes Thornton Oakley in | Harper’s Weekly. I remember at one of the mountain towns how a fat man kept the ‘train waiting with his efforts to get out. He was huge and round, with a red face full of wrinkles and shining shaven head. A Maltese cross shone white upon his brown expanse of cassock. He got wedged tightly in the door and could move neither in nor out. His face grew apoplectic. Perspiration streamed !down his forehead. His hat rolled be- neath the train. He dropped his bag it burst open. Glass crashed; cigars were scattered all about. As the bell sounded he began to shout. The guard running. The station idlers The | crowded up.

To Hemstitch on Sewing Machine. Hemstitching, which can hardly be distinguished from the hand work, and which may be done much more speedily, may be done on the sewing machine in this way: First, draw the number of threads desired, in“ the goods to be hemstitched, then fold the hem over and baste the edge of the hem in the center of the drawn threads. Now loosen the tension on the sewing machine and stitch exact. ly along the edge of the hem. Pull the bastings out, and taking the goods in one hand and the hem in the other, pull the edge of the hem to the bot- tom of the drawn threads and your work is finished. Tucks hemstitched in this way make a pretty finish for children’s clothes, and they are so much more quickly done than by hand. Black Satin Costume. It may be mentioned that a black itberty satin very much on this order, the bodice being an intermixture of black satin and mousseline, with ad- ditions of jet to the passamenterie empiecement, had a special elegance of its own, and bore distinct evidence of the extreme modishness this yea\ of handsome black gowns.—Vogue. 5 -{ 1871. from. behind. Suddenly he came through with a rush, his cassock torn and flying, his little eyes wide with fright. I looked back as the train moved off. He was lying back panting on a bench, his feet spread wide, while a woman was pouring something down his throat.” Elephant and Engine Meet. An elephant was crossing a railway line when a down ballast train in motion tried to whistle him off the line, says the Madras Pioneer. He obeyed the whistle, but instantly was on the line again and pushed the en- gine back with all the strength he could muster, causing the derailment of the engine and one of the trucks. The driver fell off and received some injuries, and the mahout, who had apparently lost all hold over the ani- mal, and had perhaps anticipated the accident, jumped down, but was un- hurt. The elephant was only bruised. Veteran Baggagemaster Retires, James M. Vibberts, of Wethersfield, Conn., the oldest baggagemaster in America, has resigned because of rheu- matism.

Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are’ known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection- able substances.
