'I ft' Women know the influence of beauty on men; men rarely admire a beautiful invalid, but they do admire a woman in whom is blended good features and perfect health. There is no secret almut a woman's beauty; it all lies in the care she devotes Ip herself, to removing from her system ■1 poisonous impurities, and keeping at tay those fearful female diseases. TShC flashing eye, elastic step, and brilliant complexion are never companions of a womb trouble; only the distressed expression and aches, pains, blues, faintness, dizziness, bearing-down feeling, etc., keep it conqiany. Lydiu £. Pinkham'» Vegetable Compound removes female troubles promptly, and cleanses, invigorates, ami consequently beautifies, the form of woman. Women, the world over, pay homage to it, and praise its discoverer. Your druggist sells more of it than all other female medicines.

En.d’iu'l. where young women may learn all the brunches of domestic work, including cookery, needlework, laundry work and household sujierintendenee. The name of the college is appropriately. St. Martha's. Only ten pupils are received at a time, in order that each may serve her term as housekee|>er, chambermaid, laundress, etc. As the course of Instruction includes every household function, from building tires and cleaning lamps to giving dinner parties,the graduate is equally tilted for a housemuid or a bouseini-lrt -. AND NOW FOB 11IWDERKO HKVtVI. The Mary Antoinette furore is bringing powdered heads very much to the fore. The bal poudre has been a very popular form of entertainment at the various watering places this year, w hile in Erance the craze is catried to a much greater extent, several very fashionable “grandee elegantes" appearing with powdered locks at some of tlie smartest garden parties. This, of course, necessitates rouge and a general •'making-up,” so that it almost looks as if we would have an era of paint and powder again, Both English and French fashionable women now use rouge and hair dye witli the utmost frankne-s, so that powdered hair would not lie as harmful as the reddish dye. which is the fashionable color at present. NEW SOCIETY FAD ABROAD. A pretty custom lias been revived abroad,which will probably be followed by American society faddists. Men no longer offer their arms to ladies in handing them from dining to drawing room, but grasp the tips of the fair partner's fingers and lead them away, just as they used to do in the time of the Louises. Os course, it is a fad that will make men appear extremely awkward unless they practice It a good deal, but perhaps that will just suit the women, they will seem that much more graceful by contrast. Another innovation that will cause heartburn among those women who can never hope to do it nicely, to say nothing I of gracefully, is the "curtsey." it is, really an accomplished fact in the smart set abroad, but it does not seem possible that it can lie adopted here without loss of dignity. At one of the state receptions at ■ the White House last season a youthful 1 bud who had been "abroad" and was much imbued with the Ohl World’s fads, essayed the “curtsey" as she imsseddown the line, bnt those who were looking on laughed outright, and those who were in the crowding, pushing, scrambling line behind her walked on her gown, so when abe got to Mrs. Carlisle in the line she gave it up an I bowed like a vsll-bred American girl to the others. MIK H ID A GOOD CBY. The young woman and her escort hail ridden from Fifty-ninth street to Tarrytown on their wheels. The afternoon was hot and dose, and the ride had been a hard one. They were to take the train J 1 back from Tarrytown, ami this thought had cheered her as she came in sight of each successive hill. But the strain grew worse and worse, and when they reached the railway station she was as near sheer exhafistlou as it was possible for a human being to he. Some women would have 1 fainted tbere’wus ample excuse for it—but this one didn’t. She dropped from her wheel, sat on the platform and started in for a good cry. Iler companion showed rare good sense. Perhaps most men would have told her to stop, and some would liave said she was a fool. But this man took it as if she was doing the most ordinary thing in the world, lie said not a word to her, and merely looked angrily at tlie fieople wiiose curiosity led them to gaze at his weeping companion. It wasn't long before her sobbing grew softer. She wiped tlie tears from her eyes, ami the smile which lighted her face was like a burst of sunshine after a shower. "Il was very silly of me," she said, "but 1 just really couldn’t help it. I feel all right now ” "It was tli<’ most sensible thing you could liave done," be replied. “1 should not have alloweil you to push on so fast on such ii day.” a kuv.vi. roriiisT. Having donned the costume of ii Tnsenn cotitadina, in Ahich she looks remarkably well, Queen Margherita of Italy is now climbing the mountains around Oressoney. The writer once hud tlie privilege of seeing a fine portrait of the "Pearl Queen" in this attire, so can describe it witli a fair amount of lucidity, it consists of n shbrt full petticoat of tlie brightest scarlet, a close Utting black velvet corsage, with braces across the shoul ders arranged over a snowy chemisette, and large sleeves of cambric. Black silk stockings were worn and low shoes witli handsome old silver buckles, while a heavy chain, also of silver, hung round the neck at»l down to tlie waist. Thy unrivaled headdress of wiiite linen falling on to the shoulders, and fastened to the hair by large silver pins, which is now unfortunately so rarely seen in its nativ* home of Italy, rested on tlie queen's beautiful hair,

a I completed a« charming a costume as I any jxluter might wish to depict. in making her way through bush and brier, her majesty exchange* the coiffure for a black lace vail, which la very light and serviceable. It la drawn down in front that it may afford shade to the eyes, ' and droops low behind so as to protect the I nape of the neck from the sun. For her real expeditions, those when she leaves the hotel nt :) o’clock in the morning und does not return till If nt night, the queen puts on a tweed suit, with gaiters ami a small cap, ■ueh as may lie seen in the illustrations of the mountaineering volume of the Badminton library. Her majesty Is much more keen on climbing now than when al 10 years of I age she wns wooed ami won by her cousin, ' i Prince Humbert of Savoy, but every year she finds it more diflleult to secure a com- ' pauion in her wandering* from among the ' ladles of her court. Noble dames and ' maidens from tlie Thirty Cilie* which provide the queen of the ]>eiiinsula with at I tendanls arc eager in proffering their ser- . vices what time she is at the Quirlnal, |at Ca|Hi di Monte, the castles of Turin, Florence and the rest, but when there is a question of the Vai d'Aosta, the rocky slopes around the Matterhorn, or similar pleasure grounds, one and all hold back. Nor is their reluctance overcome by the ! knowledge Hint their midday meal will I consist mainly of a crust of bread and , : bottle of milk, or nt most a slice of dried i goat's flesh. This is eaten in the open air, 'or if the rain be very heavy and the wind very sharp, in the nearest of those chalets which, so picturesque without, are apt to ; be less desirable within. FASHION NOT**. Very new blouse fronts to wear in«ide open jackets are of tucked batiste, trimmed : w ith yellow Valencienne- luce. A yellow chiffon pantaol had rutiles put I on iu festoons with narrow black lace both as a heading and finish to the rutties. Parasols may be said to lie strictly in ■ keeping with tlie other finery—extremely fussy, rich in materials, and frequently 1 picture* pie in effect. Sleeves for evening gowns, although smaller than formerly, are stiffly lined, and either match the skirt or form a striking contrast to it in velvet, chiffon or j plaited gauze. Tlie latest novelties iu colored crepons j are tlie blush-greens and greenish-blues, watercress greens, vieux-rose. china blues, etc., all of,which are new and eminently artistic tints. One of the newest adjuncts to the swag- • ger outing suit is the English derby of i ! silky felt or beaver, with its smartly rolling | brim and bell crown and its broad band of black ribbon. , Unquestionably that woman whose hair i is short but thick, lias the best possibilities for a varying coiffure, aud if nature has i kindly endowed her with curly locks she has achieved a blissful condition of indei prndence in regard to "doing her hair.” A number of the newest sleeves have a • close forearm buttoned nearly to the elbow : ’ on the outside of tlie arm, and above this ! arc two full puffs instead of the one balloon I shape. The present fashion in skirt* for mourn- , ■ ing allows them to be made of any fine i i lusterless woolen material, with sidefront I i gores of crape folds let into them. The I bodice is of jilaiteil crape with sleeves of the skirl goods. All browns witli a reddish tinge are in e.qieciul favor for the cool season, though no wardrobe would lie complete without one good black gown for the street. A violet cloth gown is trimmed with narrow bands of Russian sable. The coat waist opens on a single-breaste 1 vest and high collar-band of fawn-colored cloth. Velvet tispies have square ami round I puffed crowns. Others are of felt, chenille, etc. Ostrich tips coque’s plumes and natty ribbon liow* are trimmings for the season’s toques. ( ravenettes are waterproof fabrics light , enough for dresses, as the water-prooflng is doue in the fiber before it is woven, instead of on tlie surface, und tlie material . is, therefore, left porous. Camel’s hair goods are to be revived,the i colors in them being softly blended, making the effect tasteful and pleasing. Fleece back diagonal cloth is to be used for tailor-made costumes, and traveling gown* of this material are serviceable ami natty. Diagonal suitings in illuminated designs are much admired. Meltons and faced cloths are also to be much worn.and will lie developed tailor fashion for street wear. As regards silks corded varieties are to lie ala mode. Moire antique and plain black satin are seldom to be seen and fancy silks take their places nicely. Mohair, Sicilienne and such fabrics will receive much I patronage, especially for dresses that arc j required to be durable und useful. .let is to be much worn, an extensive variety of designs being seen. Sometimes jet and spangles are combined, and often beads are also to lie seen. Jetted yokes and other accessories are used largely on dressy gowns. Vandykes are ns ]>opular as ever and some of tlie new jetted ones are remarkably beautiful. Colored spangles are iu vogue and form elaborate designs hi flowers, scrolls, etc. Ribbons, especially double-faced satin, are to be much used for the adornment of gowns. Persian ribbons und delicate nacre ones will be used for stocks, etc., in j place of Dresden. Feather* have the place of honor as far as tlie trimmings arc concerned, bands of ostrich feathers being well combined with jet on many swagger gowns. A Mountain of Salt. One of the greatest natural wonders of the United States is a solid mountain of rocksalt, which is situated on an island in a sea marsh in Southern Louisiana. It lies near the River Teche, on the route leading from Brashear to New Iberia, and is said to be the n ost gigantic innss of exposed rock sa't known to exist. The Salt Peak is about 185 feet in height, and mining engineers who have recently visited it say that there is not less than 90,001),ODD tons of the pure saline crystal in sight.

germ-life The doctors tell us, now-a-days, that disease germs are everywhere; in the air, in the water, in our food, clothes, money; that they get into our bodies, live there, thrive and grow, if they find anything to thrive on. Consumption is the destruction of lung-tissue by I germs where the lung is too weak to conquer them. The remedy is strength—vital force. Scott’s Emulsion, with hypophosphites, means the adjustment of lung strength to overcome germ-life. It is fighting the germ with the odds in our favor. These tiny little drops of fat-food make their way fnto the system and re-fresh and re-invigorate it. ( Whether you succeed with it or not depends on how good a start the germs had, and how carefully you can live. The shortest way to health is the patient one.
