A Kiss Defined.
Sometime ago a L,ondon pa
per offered a prize of 10 guineas
for the best definition of a kiss.
Among the many clever an
swers received, the following
were the best :
"The best known smack that
will calm a storm.
"Nothing divided between."
"The thunder clap of the lips
that follows the lightening
glance of the eyes."
"A report at headquarters."
"When the lips of lovers meet
in bliss this pleasing term is
called a kiss."
"A kiss, to a timid bachelor,
is like having hot treacle pour
ed down his back by angel
hands."

This bein a campaign year,
there is danger of our people j
losing too much time in politics
it is lncuinoent upon every;
man to know as much as he can
conveniently about passing

country, etc. But every man
ought to remember that the
world is made up of individuals,
and that a careful attention to

cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-five years auo tliis theory was used

by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

good digestion, robust health. Impure

way to have good blood is to take Hood's
Sarsaparilla. This medicine purines, vi
talizes, and enriches the blood, and sends
the elements of health and strength to
every nerve, organ and tissue. It creates
a good appetite, gives refreshing sleep

WOMEN'S FOIBLES.
A Terr dainty trimming, which some mo
distes will use for fronts and others for the
front and back covering of eilk blouses, is cf
white or black movssdine de soie set with five
narrow, finely knife-plaited frills of the mate
rial, each plaiting being headed w ith tracery
vines embroidered in white on black, in black
on white and in shaded heJHrope or pink
with green foliage either on v?Lite or black.
The fancy fur bayadere or barre effects
will induce many modistes to apply the frdLj
horizontally.
Movssdine de Boif, and chiffon, though stul
much in request, have a rival in chLffonette,
which is almost a, transparent yet more dur
able, besides having an aiiuriiig'shimmer and
gleam. It is obtainable in plain and dotted
varieties and is likewise crimped and accordion-plaited.
Chiffonettt gavfrc is adaptable alike to skirts
and waists and the e2ect in an entire costume
is admirable
A black ch'ffonctte gown may be made up
in a style planned for evening wear with any
thing but a sombre effect
Already shaped for application upon a rust
ling foundation are skirts of chiffonette, accordion-plaited
and crimped with applied
Vandykes at the bottom in colored chifionctte.
A a-nit of chiffonette. either white or corre
sponding in color with the Vandykes, may
accompany the skirt
Similar" skirts of black net rich with jet,
bead and spangle embroideries are the envy
of shoppers whose purse3 are not equal to
the cost of such confections.
Coquettish and youthful is a soft hat not
unlike a Tam-0"-hanter, formed of a tan felt
plateau. A bow of blacki moire ribbon is
fastened at the right side and a larger one
rests against the left side, where the plateau
is draped to produce a high cHect, two black
tips towering above the bow. At the back
two tips are fastened with a steel pin to a.
band and fall on the hair with graceful effect
Revers may be used or omitted on a jacket
blouse with a short skirt, as the wearer elects,
and the blouse may be closed to the throat or
worn open to the belt, as preferred.
Black velvet and satin ribbons and black
eatin folds are used in a variety of ways.
