The settlement of Sierra I.eone at sne time consisted only of the penin- sula terminating in Cape Sierra Leone, with an area of about 300 square miles. The colony, with its protectorate, now Includes a large extent of country, es- timated at 4,000 square miles. The capital, I'reetown, possesses the best harbor in West Africa. The scenery of Sierra leone is said to be very simi- lar to that of the West Indies. The soil is fertile and there is an abund- ance of pure fresh water. Tropical fruits grow luxuriantly. Pineapples especially are produced very abund- antly, while bananas, plantains, avoca- do pears, mangoes, limes and orang-s are not only consumed locally, but are also exported to Gambia Goree and Senegal THEY WANT 10 TELL These Grateful Women Who Have Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham. Women who have suffered severely and been relieved of their ills by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine are constantly urging publication of their statements for the benefit of other wo- men. Here are two such letters: Mrs. Lizzie BEVERLY, 258 Merrimac St., Lowell, Mass., writes: ‘It affords me great pleasure to tell allsuffering women of the benefit I have received from taking Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound. Icanhard- ly find words toexpressmy gratitude for, what she has done forme. - My trouble was ulceration of the womb. I wasun- dar the doctor's care. Upon examina- tion he found fifteen very large ulcers, but he failed todome good. 1 took sev- eral bottlesof Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound, also used the Sanative Wash, and am cured. Mrs. Pinkham’s medicine saved my life, and I would recommend it to all suffering women.” Mrs. AMOS TROMBLEAY, Ellenburgh Ctr., N. Y.. writes: “1 took cold at the time my baby was born, causing me to have milk legs, and was sick in bed for eight weeks. Doctors did me no good. I surely thought I would die. I was al- so troubled with falling of the womb. I could not eat, had faint spells as often as ten times a day. Oneday a lady came to see me and told me of the benefit she had derived from taking Lydia E. Pinkham'’s medicine, and ad- vised ame to try it. 1 did so, and had taken only half a bottle before I was able to sit in a chair. After taking three bottles I could do my own ork.

Dh es QOOVOLLPPO000000000 o “Brefelles Are Worn. Bretelles are one of the features of the new gowns, and they are plain, scalloped, cut out in squares, plaited or gathered, as you like. They follow in regular order the sloping shoulder, which must be cultivated now, since they assist in producing the desired effect. VVVeYyY Plain Skirts Still Worn, Skirts that are tucked, ruffled, founced, braided or decked with ruchings of lace or material are adrift over the world of fashion, yet the severely plain skirt is not out of style, but appears in graceful lines and with- out any marked difference in its gen- eral outlines; but, of course, it invites decoration, as this is so essentially a trimming season. Patent Leather Fad, A new belt is of patent leather. The buckle and eyeholes are of brass or silver gilt and very large. Ilat bands of patent leather come to match, and, of course, the purse must match also. Very swagger is the appearance of a girl wearing the newest thing in pa- tent leather, especially if her skirt and shirt waist are of white duck and hat of plain white straw. = With sneh- a costume tan shoes must be discarded, and as patent leather draws the feet in warm weather, the shoe must be black kid, heavily trimmed in patent leather. A Revival of the Plain Bodice, Without doubt we are started on the road to tight-fitting bodices once more, and thre autumn will see street gowns made in this style, which is necessarily the proper accompaniment for the sheathlike skirt that now has a hold on woman's fancy. Of course they will be trimmed, but the trim- mings will be flat and more severe than have been seen for sonie seasons past. Many of the early summer street costumes were paraded in this style, which, after all, is more suit- able for street and shopping wear.— Woman’s Home Companion. A Woman City Clerk. Mrs. Flora Hays, at Frankton, Ind., is the first woman in that state whose name has been officially placed upon an election ballot. She has been nomi- nated by the Citizens’ party of Frank- ton for the office of city clerk, and this year the office heads the ticket. The campaign therefore will be fought out under her name. Mrs. Hays has also the honor of being the first woman to hold a city office in Indiana. Two years ago her husband was elected city clerk, but shortly after his election he died. She circulated a petition ask- ing to be permitted to fill his place. She was qualified and proved to be as efficient an officer as the city has ever had. Mrs. Hays is 26 years old. Her knowledge of business is as thorough as that of any man who has ever held this office. —New York Tribune. The Matter of Height, If you are tall and slender how well you look in those 15 flounced skirts, each one edged with the narrowest of black velvet. = They all dip a little toward the front, and when “made up’ in white gauze or white silk gandie they are looked upon as some- thing smarter than if built of colors, because the craze for black and white is not yet on the wane. Taking it for granted that your choice is white, with black for trimming, your bodice must be gathered into a black belt and your neck be cut out in such a pretty V back and front; the two narrow flounces matching the skirt will trim it well with full ruching of tulle for heading, the whole giving you such fine width across the shoulders and showing off the lovely lines of your neck and the graceful pose of the head. Your arms are rather too long and slender un- covered, but seen through the trans- parent material in mousquetaive shir- rings they are faultless. As you walk across the room your black gauze sash with its long plisse ends in the back and its bunch of short loops, vith a biz diamend buckle in the middle, is really quite a perfect touch. Your golden hair, raised up high on the top of your head, adds to your height and you excel in the way you have it waved, and the knot at the top, to- gether with just the right kind of short, loose curls, arranged so becom- ingly on your brow. Of course you wear your pearls—nobody’s neck is dressed without them —and your jew- eled ornaments eedingly choice, and you never overdo the matter, — Philadelphia Ledger. or- Look to Your Little Finger. The fact that the hand looks shap- fier and more graceful when the mid- dle and third fingers are slightly curved away from the index and little finger is shown by the models in the glove store windows, and while it is affecta- tion to hold the hands in such a posi- tion, yet this exercise, to make the pose natural, should be practiced. Some one has said somewhere that the number of cultnred generations back of an individual may be judged by the degree of curve in the little finger. Observation will prove this more or less true. When one sees a person holding a glass or cup with the little finger thrust out and curved until it resembles a hook, a little in- vestigation will almost invariably show thatthe desire for culture has just awakened in that particular fam- ily, and in its newness is somewhat overstepping the mark. Affectation is a sign of lack of breeding. Some of the old painters understood hands to perfection. Long, rounded hands, with slightly curved fingers and gently bent wrists, are character- istic of the women whose beauty they have made memorable. Sometimes, perhaps, the beautiful hands were those of some other model than the pictured one; but the painters knew that beautiful hands were as neces- sary as beautiful faces in order to make a harmonious picture. The people of almost every other nation have more graceful hands than we have; and those who use their hands most freely when conversing are by far the most graceful. The hands which make no superfluous movements, which appear to obey readily and easily their owner’s will, whose movements are free, rhythmic and gentle, are the really graceful ones, —Woman's Home Companion. Summer Fans and Hat Pins, Fans to what the fashionable woman must now provide. There is an immense vari- ety to choose from, so this should not be a formidable task. With the slight increase in the size of the present style of fans, the os- trich feather fan has again returned to favor. Almost every woman has one of these handsome fans stowed carefully away, and now to bring it forth. Ostrich fans are peculiarly graceful, and make a hand- some adjunct to the most elegant toi- let. A late fancy is the violet fan. the shops these are very expensive, but the girl with quick fingers and artistic eye can easily manufacture one at home. The foundation is a white silk or satin fan, with rather long, plain sticks. Medium silk vio- lets are chosen and are glued carefully on. They must not look stiff, but as if they had fallen carelessly upon the | The fan is laid flat while the on, and is fan. violets are fastened pressed with a heavy thoroughly dry.

More gorgeous are the lace fans, embroidered with spangles, with jew- eled sticks. Fans of this variety very costly and very frail. More dainty and varied than ever ave the Japanese fans. They ave truly the friends for hot weather. A num- ber are quite handsome enough to be carried with fashionable gowns. The summer home is not complete withont a large assortment of every size hue. Flies, bugs and creeping things are most popular for hatpins. There is a huge bumble bee enamelled in its own brilliant colors, with jeweled eyes. Dragon flies which sparkle in not intended pretti- are the sunlight are very pretty fasteners! for the dainty summer millinery. Long green lizards, the bodies studded with emeralds and the eyes of rubies, make costly and cov eted hatpins. = Butterflies, too, come in for a good | share of popularity. Both in genuine and imitation brilliants they are shown in every conceivable variety. Very chaste are the pins of huge American pearls rising from a chalice of finely cut rhinestones. Jade is a novelty for hatpins and is being used extensively. The jade stone is con-| sidered a talisman against evil. Here again is noticed the craze for military buttons, Mounted and burnished, they are worn in pairs, one on either side of the hat. A cheap, flashy hatpin will spoil the appearance of the most expensive hat. The sensible woman buys a solid gold silver pin with a handsome and substantial head.

In a store where home aquarium sup- plles are sold there are, besides the usual varied assortment of glass globes, a number of larger tanks of va- rious shapes and sizes, in which stock is kept for sale. The tanks themselves are, of course, sold if there is a de- | mand for them. Lying across the corner of the largest of these tanks is a little net, the hoop no more than five or six inches in dilam- eter, and the handle about a foot long. This is to scoop up the gold fishes when they are sold. When a new out- fit is sold complete the fishes are de- livered in the globe or tank. It often happens, however, that the person al- ready owning a globe wants to replace fish that have been lost, or to add to his stock, and he goes to the store where such things are sold and buys one or more gold fishes, just as he would buy any merchandise, except that instead of sitting down at a coun- | ter to make his selections, he bends over a tank and indicates among the fishes swimming about the ones he wants. As he makes his selections the dealer scoops them out with the little net, and as likely as not the purchaser carries the fish he has bought, a single fish or half a dozen, or whatever the number may be, right away with him in a tin pail Little gold fish of the commoner i kinds can be bought for a few cents | apiece.
