In Praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. ?There is no other medicine manu? factured that has received so much praise and so many expressions of gratitude as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is effective, and prompt "relief follows its use. Grateful pa? rents everywhere do not hesitate to testify to its merits for the benefit of others. It is a certain cure for croup and will, prevent the atack if given at the first appearance of the disease. It is especially adapted to children as it is pleasant to take and contains noth? ing injurious. Mr. E. A. Humphreys, ia well known resident and clerk in \ the store of Mr. E. Lock, of Alice, ?Cape Colony, South Africa, says: ; "I have used Chamberlain's Cough 1 Remedy/ to. ward off croup and colds in my family. I found.it.to be very satisfactory and it gives me pleasure to 1 recommend it." For sale by all druggists. Weak Hearts Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble ; can remember when it was simple indiges- | Hon. It is a scientific fact that all cases of j heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but are the direct result of indi , gestion. All food taken into the stomach which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with, the, action of the heart, and In the course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D. Ka able, of Nevada, O , says: I had stomach trouble and ?as in a bad state as I had heart trouble with it I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about four months and it cured me, Kodol Digests What Yon Eat and relieves the stomach of all nervous strain and the heart of all pressure.

Helpful Hints on What to Wear and How to Wear lt. Authorities differ about the size of sleeves. But without doubt the pop? ular taste is inclined to cling to small sleeves. People are not very enthu? siastic about big, full sleeves. And they certainly are anything but pretty. The new Egyptian laces, worked in shiny fibre silk upon heavy net and in some lights giving the effect of silver lace, are upon some of the successful imported coats, and dull gold and sil? ver laces are also employed by the French makers. Shirtwaists are designed with a view to keeping apace with the ele? gance of tailored costumes, of which a new crop seems to spring up daily. Waists of plaid silk are made in a number of pretty ways, and the fa? vorite trimming for them seems to be buttons of velvet or of the same silk, with probably a plasteron of lace and revers of plain silk in the predominat? ing color of the paid. Plaids are also used with excellent results in trim? ming waists of flannel, chills and soft woolen fabrics to be found in an in? finite variety of designs and coloring. Everything is very ornate this sea? son. In her outer garments the wo? man of fashion is a charming barbar? ian in her beads and spangles and rich colors. So also is the hidden loveli? ness underneath an expression of this profuse decoration. The petticoats and underskirts are very much trim? med-indeed everything is very much trimmed. Gay and fancy is the cry, but perfect fit. The silk underskirts are pretty much the same in designa, though there is more flare to the ruf? fles; they are fuller, and there are more of them. Again, there is an idea to meet this principal thought--the full, filmy swirl of a wide-sweeping skirt about the feet. Hats, gowns cloaks, jewelry, house? hold decorations, all are being affect? ed in increasing degree by the peacock fad. The bluish green or greenish blue shade, called peacok blue, is but one of the many colors suggested by the peacock. Every one of its feath? ers, from the long ones, in its gor? geous tail to the tiny ones hidden un? der its wings, supplies a color study. Hats, gowns and cloaks in peacock shades are seen. The carefully stud- i ied out peacock costume is still a j novelty. Buttons and braids carry out the scheme. Some of the most beau- ! tiful gold or bronze braids show a series of peacock feather heads with I ! their luminous eyes. i J Setting aside the practical short skirts of walking costumes, skirts are [ quite as long as they were last winter, at front and sides and longer in the back. They are fuller at bottom than last winter's skirts, but appear less heavy and voluminous because of the vogue of circular cuts and bell shaped tops. The shirred and corded skirts are out, ar. what fullness is in the I top of the skirt is gathered softly into ' the hand or held by very small tucks ] or plaits. ; Walking skirts are still j plaited in innumerable ways but the modish long skirts look more or less i like an inverted morning glory bios- . som. Tunic effects persistenly strive j for recognition but have not so far ' received the favor that was expected for them and are the exception rath- . er than the rule. i The development of the ostrich ? and coque feather boa this season has 1 been mazing. In white, in black, in colors matching the most delicate cos? tumes, long ropes or feathers lend charm to the most beautiful toilettes. i In mauve, in pink, in purple, in blue, in many deftly arranged combinations of colors, no dress accessory in a long time has equalled their beauty, it is perhaps because of the charm of these i boas that fur once practical and un- i compromising, has adorned itself In 1 i rivalry with lace, velvet and em- ; brioderies. Fur boas and stoles do I not vary greatly in style from those shown last winter. They are, as they | have been for a number of seasons, I wide, flat and long, tails are still used ' -for their ornamentation, but the bar? baric days of heads: and claws have departed. It is a pretty season for the woman who has old furs on hand ! for she can take an old sealskin coat, i so <>id thal it looks all faded and ye?- i low in spots, and she caa have it r?N- ' lined with a deepre shade of satin. She can then trim it by setting a hand- j some new said.: collar around the ; neck and a pair <>? sable cuffs at the wrist or at the elbow; to wear with this she will want a large flat seal ' muff. Braiding will be elaborately used as j a trimming for all manner of clothes ? -from the white cotton and linen j tape braids for the white lingerie ; blouses to the heavy silk and wool braids trimming the cloth coat and suits. Braiding has, to a great ex? tent, taken the place of the stitched, set on bands. The -elaborate method of trimming with bands alone is seen but rarely this season; when bands are used they are in combination with braid. Fringe will be used to trim dressy velvet and broadcloth suits especially wraps for the evening. The narrow widths of fringe are the best to use and are more serviceable than the wide ones, it is much prettier to use fringe to match the material in color. Silk, chenille and braid fringes are all used upon velveteen, cloth and the soft silks-such as moire, poplin and gros-grain. Fringe should be used as a finish to other trimmings-for in? stance, on the edge of bias folds or rose-quillings. Then, again, the nar? row silk fringes are pretty used on the edge of heavy lace insertions, the insertion being put on without fullness all corners being mitred. Narrow Valenciennes and torcho^ laces are used as bands to trim evening blouses and gowns of silkT voille and muslin; the lace should not be put on flat, but gathered like a small ruffle; otherwise, it is handled as braid-that is, put on in a pattern. Among the black trim? mings quite a new and pretty thing is black cluny lace, trimmed with jet. Again, there is a net trimming cov? ered with spangles and bugle beads. This latter is a resurrection of the old-fashioned bugle bead trimming of many years ago. Another new one, and very odd, is a conventional design ot cut jet beads, with a silk cord through the centre and a silk edge. Then there >is fine cut bead passementerie with a silk cord foundation. THE FAITHFUL CHINAMAN. Imitated the Negro. Even to Stealing Every Day. "Whatever may be said about the Chinese, one thing in their favor is their honesty," said a man who has travelled- "I have been told that one reason for this is because theft is a capital offence in China, and that the average Chinaman is honest because he has been taught from his youth up that if he steals he will lose his head. I don't know whether this is true or : not. However, if you will talk to peo? ple who reside on the Pacific slope and who are loudest in their cries in favor of the exclusion of Chinese la? bor they will tell you that as a class the Chinese are honest. They work for a mere pittance and can live on almost nothing, but they are not thieves. "Some years ago when I was in Cal? ifornia I was told a story illustrative of Chinese honestey. A citizen of Los Angeles had a negro cook in his fam? ily. The negro had given notice of his intention to give up his place and a Chinaman had been employed to succeed him. The lady of the house ! instructed the Chinaman to go to the kitchen and work with the negro for a couple of days in order to learn from j him the methods followed in cooking ! in that particular household. 'Now, j T want you to do just what the negro j does, and thus learn how we want our work performed.' "Accepting this order, the China- ? man proceeded to his duties. A couple j of days later the negro gave up his j place and the Chinaman was left : alene in the kitchen. The lady of the ; house did not go to the kitchen until ? three days after the negro left. To her surprise she found on one of the tables a small pile of flour, a pile of pota- ! toes, a number of slices of raw ham, , and. in fact, samples of everything in the food line which had been eaten there for the last several days. What in the world does this mean, John? she called out to the Celestial. Wellee, you tellee me to do what niggee do; every morning nigee pour little flour on table, d^n he pour rice den he keep out little ham, Chinee must do what niggee do you say.' Then it dawned upon the lady that before each meal the negro cook had reserved a por? tion of the uncooked food for himself and had carried it away-had s-olen it. The Chinaman, in literally oocy ing the ordt-rs griven him to do what the negro did, had also taken 'toll,' but unlike the negro, had neglected to make away with his booty but left it on the table, and before each meal had added to the accumulation, thus proving that while the yellow man was a good imitator he was a sorry thief. King of All Cough Medicines. *Mr. E. G. Case, a mail carrier of Canton Center, Conn., who has been in the U. S. service for about 16 years, says: "We have tried many cough medicines for croup. Jut Chamber? lain's Cough Remedy is king of all and one to be relied upon every tim?. We also find it the best remedy for eoughs and colds, giving certain re? sults and leaving no bad after ef? fects. For sale by all druggists. VIA SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
