In the sixteenth century, however, it became generally used. Queen Elizabeth, as one would suppose, had a quantity of them. and fans were among the trea- utes of Catherine de .Medicis. Fans were not made much in France until the days of Louis XIV., most of the trade before being with Spain. The Louis XIV., fan contained from eighteen to twenty blades, and when open they formed a continuous sur- face of ivory or mother-of-pearl, decor- ated with gold or silver. The “mount," that is the part above the sticks, made the largest part of the surface of the fan. The fan opens out to a full half circle. The “even- mil brise," also of this period, had no mount, but was made up of sticks, which were painted, carved or decor- ated, with spangles. Mme. de Se- rigne posessezl a beautiful fan, which she described in one of her letters. It was of the 51er known as “Verins Martin.” It represented the ”Toilet of Venus” and a “Promenade,n and the Venus is a portrait of Lime. de Mon- tespnn. Martin was a coachmaker of the time of Louis XIV., who discover- ed a remarkable varnish. One of these owned by Marie Antoinnette, is now the property of Queen Victoria.

This is not only a fan year, but it is also to see a decided revival of the ‘daintiest effects in parasols. It has been considered very proper of late years to carry an umbrella during the hot months, but this year she will be a brave woman who will dare to disre- gard the fiat, which says that a par- sol will be absolutely necessary to the completion of one’s summer costume. One has only to look at the beautiful parasols in the cases of the shops to decide that it takes more courage than the average woman possesses to iresist the fascination of .the pretty fillings.“ The first to attract ' attention are? the pure white filmy masses of the chiffon and India silk parasols. One wonders just how many times these dainty, delicate affairs can be carried on our smoky streets. The shape is somewhat more bowed in the ribs than formerly. These dainty white ones have a ground work of Indian silk and over this is looped long ruffles of chif- fon, soft as thistle down. The ruffles are so looped that they come down in a point over the ribs. The edge of the ruffle is edged with lavender puck- ;ered silk, or possibly pale green. A very pretty parasol is pale blue India silk covered with chiffon and over this is black lace inserting ar- ranged in Bayadere stripes. A pale green glace taffeta. has a hemstitched border. The SLleS are generally of natural wood, and the length of the parasol from 20 to 22 inches. There are some very pretty Swiss covered parasols for children. Probably the finest parasor, among many to be desired, is one made of white figured silk lined with black gauze. There is a puffing of white mousseline de soie and a black Chan- tilly lace ruffle on the inside. Anoth- er beautiful one is of white China silk with applique in bowknots of scale jet. ! The most striking of the . handsome1 and expensive parasols are of black and white, which bids fair to be again one of the favorite combinations of the season. There is every reason why it should be, as it is so generally becom- ing. A woman who looks twenty years older in black will 1003: several years younger in blac’; with ton. hes tf whi e about it. Plaid parasols are also x-ezy much in evidence, and with the shirt- waist gown are always pretty. The handkerchief, that necessary article of the modern wardrobe, has come down to us from the time of the Saxon, who used it as a “swat cloth” and wore it on the left side. {The word does not appear in our lan- gguage until the sixteenth century, Eand in an old play the miller tells his glady love that when he dies for love of her he will leave her “an handker- cher; it is wrought with blue coven- itry.” A handkerchief wrought with silk, upon which the strawberries were as large as life and quite as natural. ‘was the undoing of Desdemona. Good Queen Bess made the handkerchief very popular, and her little serving maids spent much of their time em- broidering tiny squares to be bestowed upon the gallant‘s of. the day, and it ‘L- £.!_. 1...)“ uyvu vuv _â€"---_- is entirelycgossible that the fair lady herself was interested in these sou- venirs. The French women, with characteris- tic delicacy, used the bit of linen with as much secrecy as possible, and it was considered a breach of good taste to refer to them. Queen Josephine was unfortunate enough to possess bad teeth, and in her efforts to conceal the fact, made the handkerchief fash- ionable. She was continually placing her handkerchief to her lips, and it became the fashion to follow her ex- ample. - . n .1- _ ...-.l......

There are handkerchiefs IOI‘ ail oc- casions, and the wel-dressed woman is as particular about the proper hand- kerchief as she is about her dress. She would no more appear in a traveling cautume carrying a lace handkerchief, than at a reception in a tailor gown. The lace handkerchief will always be in demand, for the heart of women can not withstand real lace, under any circumstances, but the lace handker- chief is only appropriate for dress occa- sions. A season ago it was quite the fad to spend one’s idle time making handkerchiefs, out of bits of fine linen and lawn and edging them with point d’esprit and Valenciennes or other lace. Naturally imitations were soon very common, and “footing” took the place of more expensive insertions with the result that the “made handkerchief" was declared passee. - _- ..-z.

Persons of coarse instincts, on the con- trary, are inclined to regard the bit of linen, which is necessary to their comfort, as an article upon which they can afford to economize, and even ggriminess is tolerated. THE SLEEP 0E SORROW It is surely one of the most beauti- ful and tender mysteries of our human life that grief should weigh heavy on the eyelids, and that, at the very moment when the burden begins to ex- ceed our power of endurance, the an- guish of hearts bereaved and broken shoull lapse into the blessed uncon- sciousness of sleep. In the bitterest miseries we are capable of suffering we seem to walk most nearly on the ibrink of that deep and assuaging ob« .livion. It can not but be that the physiolog- ist and the physician have formed for themselves some more or less satisfac‘ tory physical theory to explain how it happens that the most grevious sor- row lies so close to a forgetfulness of? all sorrow; but if they have discovered the secret they do not appear to have popularized their knowledge, and one is left to form one’s own; conjecture whether the sleep of sorrow is not due ’to the full heart drawing to its own sustainment the warm stream of life and leaving the brain depleted; or whether it results from the absorption of the soul in itself, and the consequ- ent closing of those channels of the senses by which the stimulus of the external world plays on the organs of the mind. \Vhatever the physical account of the phenomenon may be, the slumber of grief is none the less a divine in- terposition; and the dew of its mercy falls on babe and graybeard, on man and woman alike. \Vho that has read Patmore’s poignant little poem, ‘The Toys,’ but remembers how, the small child having been chastised and dis- missed with hard Words and without a good-night kiss, the father, “fearing lest his grief should hinder sleep ” visited his bed, But found him slumbering deep,’ With darkened eyelids, and their lash- Who, indeed, that has been blessed with children ofi her own but jcan tell how sleep has suddenly closed the streaming eyes _4 .- and tranquilized the quick, troubled breath into a soft and regular respiration? And have we not ourselves had each of us more than one experience of that heavenly touch of unconzciou-sness while the tears were still wet on our faces? es yet From his late sobbing wet. Yet how strange it is that reference to this solace of human misery is so rarely to be met with? in literature â€" at least in a form worthy of its beauti- ful and compassionate beneficence! A casual phrase here and there â€" the “balm of hurt minds,” the knitting up of the “ravel’d sleave of care"-â€"serves to indicate that the fact is familiar enough, but one would have expected that many writers would have made it the theme of fiction or of poetry. The most striking instance we can recall occurs in the New Testament. Thrice it is recorded that the disciples fell asleep in the Garden of Gethsemâ€" ane; but it is Luke alone. the wise physician, who mentions that they were “sleeping for sorrow.” The other evangelists set down the mere fact, but the saintly hakim, skilled in the maladies of the body and the mind, deemed it needful to explain how it was that in that supreme hour of agony and desolation the beloved and devoted followers of the Master had apparen 1y yiel led to a selfish ease, and left him alone to that dereliction of soul to which only an angel from heaven could administer consolation. They were “sleeping for sorrow.” But: if. literature is sparing in im- pressive examples, we meet them oc- casionally in the daily papers, report- ed with a matter-of-fact straightfor- wardness which emphazies rather than detracts from their pathos. A few months ago we cut out a paragraph which told the story of the wife of a laborer, one of whose sons had died. Distracted with her loss, she wandered away from her home, and was found lying fast asleep among the under- brush of the woods. In this sleep she remained for nearly five months, “and on awakening in the afternoon insist- ed on getting up at once, believing that she had merely overslept herself after a restless night, in which she had had ‘peculiar dreams.’ " This was, no doubt, an extreme case. one indeed which most readers would feel disposed to attribute to some ma- lady of the body rather than to a vio- lent emotion of the soul; but who is wise enough to instruct us in what diseases, or at What point in a disease, our spiritual nature is or is not con- cerned? This five months' sleep, ab- normal as it appears to be, was doubt- less a true instance of “sleeping for 'sorrow;" and one is lost in amazement in thinking of its inexplicable myster- lies. - __'l_-_.__'l £_‘A :finm ”Whether she awakened Iree Irom grief the story does not tell, but this too, is among the healing miracles of the sleep of sorrow. Some‘five Cen- turies ago the writer of the beautiful poem “Pearl" tells how he fell asleep in despair on his little child’s grave, saw her in a dream, and awakened with a heart made Whole. Even that strange experience had occurred once at leastâ€"probablv many times -â€" incur own days. r she awakened free from story does not tell, but this long the healing miracles of of sorrow.

Milbum’s Heart and Nerve Pills Cure :1 Disease hitherto regarded as Incurable. The case of Mr. G. O. Archibald, of HOpewell Cape, N.B., (a cut of whom appears below), is one of the severest and most intractable that has ever been reported from the eastern provinces, and his cure by Milbum's Heart and Nerve Pills the more remarkable from t..e fact l‘lq ‘ICV snow-v â€"v_____, that he was given up as incurable by worthy and respected physicians. The disease, Locomotor Ataxia, with. which Mr. Archibald was afflicted is considered the most obstinate and incur- able disease of the nervous system known.
