Nerve Strain-
Mr. B. C. HUCKS (the well-known Flying Man), of 5, Queen's Gate Terrace, London, England, writes:- "I really must express my appreciation of Phosferine. Some time back I felt myself in a curious state of nervous tension, brought on, no doubt, by the severe strain caused by flying under all sorts of weather conditions for the Daily Mail tour. I had an idea that my nerves were becoming shaken. I was advised to try Phosferine, and was quite astonished at the beneficial effect produced by even the first few doses. am now feeling more 'fit than ever and ready to start-upon a season's flying that promises to be considerably more arduous than the last."
No other medicine has received such absolute proof of its extraordinary properties in restoring Shattered Constitutions, and in giving back the prematurely aged New Life and Energy.

Only three of the naval Powers of the world have built battle cruisers up tu the present, and it is therefore a coin-
At a theatre in Paris a handsome woman was much admired in a very tight-fitting toque, much the shape of a skull-cap, composed entirely of jet sequins and large cabochons, pressing down the hair in thick little curls about the eyes and over the ears, also on the neck at the back.

Whole gowns are made of astrakhan or breitschwanz, mild though the tempera- ture is, and, oddly enough, these dresses are so elaborately trimmed with Bounces, tunics, and ruches of tulle (rery fine net) that the fur almost disappears under all this garniture.

There they are, points upwards, nestling in folds of black tulle, on one of the most.
On another are chic hats of the hour. grouped three baby cucumbers, in-a. delicous tone of green, accompanied by a small tuft of real grass and adorning a black velvet toque made to encircle the face as closely as an old-fashioned night cap.
Another curious trimming is a gold- fish, cleverly imitated from nature, but looking rather lonely with its surround- ings of black silk plush and feathers to match. The colour is lovely, and that is all that can be said for this new decora- tion. Above a cluster of realistic red plums on a black silk toque rises an ostrich feather, the fronds of which are -tied in closely round the stem up to within three inches of the tip, where the fronds all branch out, giving the plume the exact outline of a palm-tree. The bird that produced that poor feather would not know it.
