and though most of it is dyed, one sees now

natural color of the animal, which is a Jigbt
brown, and is really very pretty. A set of
seal skin can be bought for from $33 to $40.
Real ermine sets stuffed with down, trim

chenille tassels are to be had for S7o. A
yery handsome collar and muff of white fox

specially commissioned or chartered to con
tinue the old quarrel ot the "South,"" ''Why
not in the efforts to build up our Jtateor
the "South," take hints from wherever we
may get them, and give every. one a chance

voluntarily come forward and pornounced .
Kanu's Sea Moss Fabink the finest article for,
puddings, custards, blanc maoge. creams, tellies.
and other favorite items of the dessert that has . '
ever come UDder their notice. '
much for the palatability of the new ele
ment of food. . ' , .
A still greater number oi distinguished pby
ieians and scientific chemist's indorse It as a" '"('
nutrient of the very highest class; - while every (

fifty per cent, cheaper than J malzena, farina, .
corn starch, or any other preparation from corn
or the cereal grains. ; ' '
The new food staple Is manuraetarcd, under
