SILK POUCHES OO WITH TIIB (10WS,
Brocaded silk pouches, with a little
fur animal's head at the bottom, are
tbe latest accessory to tho fashionable
woman's evening toilet.
The ponch closes at tho top by rib
bon drawstrings, and tho wearer car'
ries it by letting it swing from her
arm, or sho fastens it with a jeweled
pm at her waist.
. There are long, narrow pouches
made purposely to hold the fan, and a
variety of others in various shapes for
the safe keeping of tbe handkerchief,
bonbon box or powder puff.
The touches are a rather curious
addition to tho evening gown. They
look best when carried with a costume
trimmed with fur, in wbioh ease tho
littlo animal's head is mads of tho
same fur as that which trims tho
gown.
One of tho prettiest of these new
pouches is made of pale green brocade,
with the design traced in silver. The

REVOLUTION IN WOMEN'S SHOES.
Such a revolution as has taken place
in women's shoes never w is seen, for
the "needle pointed" abominations
were not wholly unexpected when they
took the world by storm, and they had
at least the advantage of making
madame'a feet look slender aud assume
a virtue it they had it not. But just
as every feminine foot has evolved a
fine cereal crop on each podal extremity I
and pnbiio tasto has reached a pome
of endurance, if not dolight in pinohed
toes, tbero isn revuwipn of
feeling.
and tbe shops show only broad "pear
uiaped monstrosities.
Lured, rather than warned, by the
amazing cheapness of narrowtoed foot
rear, several bargain seekers have
laid in a stock of suoh lovely slippers
and shoes, only to nnd that they are
hopelessly behind tho times, and that
ill the women who are anybody at all
have adopted the widespread vamp
nd projecting sole.
"It a lUfet a dodge of the shoe men.
exclaimed 'one of the unfortunates.
"They know this changa was oomincr,
and then, jutt for spite, tbey tempted

here we are, with all tbeae back cum'

Mrs. Helen Campbell delivered the

household eoonomics in the rooms of
the Working Woman's Society, at No,
312 West Fifty-fourth street. Mrs,
Campbell spoke on "The Statics and
Dynamics of Household Eeoonomics."
"The household," she said, "has
long recoiled attention, in fact ever
sinoe mankind emerged from savagery,
but it has never hitherto been studied
scientifically. For this reason preju

witn it trom earnest childhood. As a
matter of fact, deep study is nooessury
if one would do justice to this most
important expression of civilized life.
"There are three forms under which
lifo exhibits itself the individual, the
household and the State. Of these
tne nousenoia ami tne ntnte are as
much living organisms as the individu

can they be uuderstood. 1 ho house
hold is tho connecting link betwoen
the individual aud the State, aud there
can never bo any social lite until the
organization of the family hue been
achieved.
"The btndy of tho household does
not mean simply to learu how to keep
house. It includes that, but vastly
more beside. Hitherto household

It is worthy of noto what a differ

even moro than this is needed to make
a really comfortable bath room. A

useless; they absorb tho moisturo and
become unhygienic, A place should be
found on tho wall for a mirror a plain
one with a black frame will answer the
purpose admirably ; tho longer it is
the better, and it should ba placed

trays should also bo fastened to tho
wall beside tho bath, and low enough
to bo within easy reach of the person
using' it. These nre to hold tho sponge
nd tlannel nnd soap when not in use
during the bath. Also shelves should
be made and placed upon the walls of
every bath room ; these may bo of

liked. Upon them may be p'.aeed cold
cream, shaving soap, a bottle of am

From Ihe 7its, Utica, JV..1".
A year ago last Spring, Charles Calhoun
tad his family went to taka up their rost
loneo In tli pretty Httlo village of Onpron,
N. Y., situated a few miles west ot the city of
Utlcn. Mr. Calhoun had gouothoro to work
In (ho mills, nnd also (o securo a ohnngo ot
air nnd surroun lings for his son, nn Invalid,
whb was n( (hn( tlmo about fourtoou years
old. For nearly two years he had hoon a
ulTerer from rnoumntlsm, which had at
tacked lilm In Its severest form, nnd left him
without the use of limbs, neck nud jaws.
When they moved (o ('apron he had (o be
carried like nn Infant In anus. Tbo other
day a i'r- reporter won( out to hear tho
story of the cure, through tho use ot lr,
Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People.
Charlie was found playing about (he house
a strong, sturdy-looking linl, nnd bearing no
mnrks of thn oonlliet with disease through
Which he had passed. Tho mnnner lu which
Ihe euro wns etTeeted Is given hero lu the
words of his mother nud lather:
"It Is throe years ago that Cbnrlio bagnn
to cxperlenco trouble with rheumatism. Tho
disease Is not horodltnry in our family, aud
It must lmvo been contracted through expo
sure. At flr-t It attacked his lower limbs.
During the llrst six mouths he was able to
walk with difficulty. Then (ba disease
seemoi (o spread nud (o take a moro violent
form. Our boy then lost tho entire use of his
limbs; he c.iuld not move (ho Joints ot oither
his fingers or his toes; his jaws becamo set
something after tho manner of lockjaw, and
ho wna not nblo (o (urn bis head, for the stiff
ness ol his neck. As time weu( ou ho grow
worse rnthr than Improved. AH the agon
les tlmt BUfTerors from theumntlsm eoduro
foil to his lot. Ho wasted away, being uunblo
to oat or sleep (o nny dogroe. Moreover, he
went into freiiuent eouvulslons.
"Wo consulted nil tho local physicians,
but (ho rase proved a nurzln (o them, and
they could do no good. Abonl this timo wo
movoa to unpron, N, Y., and the superin
tendent of the mills advised us to try Dr.
Willlnms" Pink Pills for Charlie. This we
did, nnd after using throe boxes, he oould
throw awny his crutches, and now ho has
full use of his limbs. Tho only remnnnt of
the rheumatism anvwhero Is In the cords ol
tho neqfcuud ns you see be Is n pretty
healthy lui king boy."
Dr. Williams' Tlnk Pills for Tide Peoplo
nro now given to tbe public as an unfailing
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing nil
forms of weakness arising from a wntory
condition of the blood or shattered nerves.
Tho pills are sold by nil dealers, or will be
sent pos( paid on recolpl of price, 60 oonia a

Tho Colorado Desert.
Tho most famous of waste pi noes in
America, tho Colorado Desert, ia pop
ularly regarded ns an empire of hope
loss sterility, tho silenoe of which will
never be brokon by the voices of men.
But tho great desert is the life work of
the Colorado River. Tho soiontitlo
men ot the University of Arizona have
analyzed these waters, and found that
tbo actual commercial valuo of the fer
tilizing matter which would bo depos
ited upon each aero by irrigation
nraouuts, in the oonrse of a year, to
$9.07. What, then, is the potential
value of tho land which this river has
created in centuries? The products of
the' region include oranges and the
dates of commcroe. Thn plaoe is moro
liko Syria than auy other part of the
United States, and tho daring imagin
ation may readily conoeivo that hero a
now DamafouB will arise, moro beauti
ful thau of old.
With the occupation of the Colorado
Desert, and of tho great peninsula
which adjoins it, a powerful impulse
will be given to Agriculture, mining
and commerce iu a vast region now lit
tle peopled. Uno of tho inevitable
consoqucnoes will bo the rise of San
Diego to tho proportions of a largo
city probably tbe largest in tbe
southern part of tho coast.

With a better understanding of the
transient nntitro of tbe many phys
ical ills, which vanish before protn-r ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
tho knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness nro not duo to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
fumily laxative-, Hyrupof Figs, prompt
ly rotnoves. Thnt Is why it is tbe only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere cstwmed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it in t he
ono remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which It acts. It ia therefore
all important, In order to got its bene
tieinl effects, to noto when you pnr
cba.se, that you havo tho genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all roputnble druggists.
If In tho enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
nlllicted with any actual disease, one
rnny be commended to the most skillful
physicians, hut if in need of n laxative,
one should hnvo the best, nnd with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and Is most lnrgely
used and gives most general satisfaction
