Declares Count Iran Tolstoy, May- or of Petrograd. Count Ivan Tolstoy invited me to his home in Petrograd with all the courtesy of the true Russian aristo- crat, writes Woclaw Czerniewski in London Graphic. I arrived at his house on the very day when posters bearing the words "Petrograd for Poland" were being displayed all over the City of Peter the Great. It was natural, therefore, that our conversation should turn chiefly upon Russia's new and great move- ment. Count Tolstoy spoke with the combined authority of a repre- sentative of the Russian nation, of a member of the oldest aristocracy, and of a Mayor of Russia's capital. Hisiopinions were firm and clear. These two features are the most important of the early season. They point with an unmistakable finger toward something dilter.ent, but whether the French openings mill follow up the prophecy. or we will follow up in detail the French show- ings, remains to be seen. .At any rate, it is well to fix one's mind ur- on this possible fashion.

Skirts For Street Wear, whether belonging to a suit or B' frock. are built on conservative lines. There is no return to the bobble effect, but the immense sweep of the elongated Russian tu- nie which was the feature of the, winter will give place to a hem wid‘!‘ enough for freedom and with a dt-) cided flare at the sides. Its short-) ness will be preserved. On every side there are evidences that this shortness, which displays all of the boot, will be persisted in, for it is the only possible way in which to make a wide skirt wearable. As soon as it sweeps the instep, it gains an aggressive awkwardness. Plaited Skirt. A good supplementary garment to add to the winter wardrobe is a pleated skirt. Pleated fabric is sold in skirt lengths for various lengths for various prices, and some of the shops will have pleated any fabric which you choose. It is neatly stitched into band, too, so that all you need do is to seam it and put on hooks and eyes. Some of these sleeves are straight extending half way to the elbow and tuuiud there with I stiff turn over cuff, also of the material. It is the sleeve which women do not like, and it is not probable they will wear it. However, its introduction in high places gives one a chance to stop and think. It may be modified and softened. but it evidently lends the way “may from the evening sleeve of to-day.

The continu- ous decay of vegetation generates ammonia. As many scientists have said, there is more ammonia, in the atmosphere now than there was 10,- 000 years ago, and considerable mqre than there was 1,000,000 years ago. Fresh supplies are added year a ter year, so that in a future day there will be an exceedingly great quantity of it. 7 7 "The sympathetic Russian nation realizes this, and holds out help to the sufferers. The City of Petro- grad sent 25,000 francs for Belgium, but 50,000 roubles for Poland, and at the present moment throughout the town money and clothes are be, ing collected for the Polish victims of the war.

At the present mo- ment, in spite of the fact that many a wounded soldier is sent here to he tended. we have always plenty of room tor our patients.

McGovern, what do you think of this terrible war? To bring about that fortunate re- sult, the diagnosis must be prompt, and the treatment must be followed with the utmost care and persever- ance. If the cause is strong drink, that must, of course. be given up at once. All articles of food that can irritate the liver must be avoided, especially spices, seasonings, cur- ries, and hot condiments. The reas- on that cirrhosis so often attacks white men who have to spend years in the tropics is because these men fall into the habit of goading their jaded appetites with such things, and try to support their spirits in the face of the endless heat with al- cohol. If the patient has malaria. he should move to some place where malaria does not exist, and main- tain his general health by following a simple diet, getting plenty of fresh air, and avoiding fatigue, cold and dampness. The medical treat- ment the physician must prescribe. --Youth's Companion. Slice enough good large onions to make two or more good large poul- tices and boil in good vinegar till soft.

The writer knows of three cases whose lives were saved by above remedy when their doctors had giv- en them up. Our soldiers at the front might be saved by use of this simple remedy. When the grave symptoms of cirr- hosis of the liver appear, especially dropsy and hemorrhage, the dis- ease usually progresses rapidly to a fatal end; and whenever fibrous tissue has replaced healthy tissue in any organ, that organ can never be perfectly "normal again. At the same time, it the diagnosis is made early, before the tissue changes have become extensive, much may be done to prolong life. In some cases the disease may be arrested; the cirrhosis will still exist, but there will be no active symptoms. In many cases the disease can be traced to the abuse of alcohol, but there are so many cases in which alcohol cannot possibly be to blame that there must be some other cause for the condition. Cirrhosis of the liver sometimes attacks voung peo- ple who have not had the time or the opportunity for along course of hard drinking. Then the trouble is believed to be owing to obstruction of the liver duet by gallstones, to irritating articles of diet, or to ma- laria. . Cirrhosis is the replacing of pro- per organic tissue by fibrous tissue, as scar tissue, for example, replaces the destroyed flesh after I burn or Other injury. Cirrhosis, when it occurs in the liver, is either atro- phic or hypertrophic. In the atro- phic form the liver decreases in size, the circulation of blood within it is impeded, and dropsy results. That form is also called "gin-drink- era' liver" and “hobnail liver." In the hypertrophic type, on the other hand. the liver is much enlarged, and jaundice is a marked symptom. The pasting of Earth, then, would not cause so much human pain as is generally believed. It would probably be nothing more than the sudden awakening into a. new world from an outgrown con- dition of being. Then, too, it must be remembered that as every extreme causes its opposite, as a. white heat gives a sensational of cold, as frost can burn like fire, as laughter can end in tetrt, as wisdom sometimes sub- sides ihto, folly, and the jester will utter the sayings of a. use, so ex- cesa of pain may end in a sort of thrilling pleasure, and this may ac- count for the sudden ecstasies of martyrs under torture. Now often, after long and dismal ,nticipation of a. tragic event, we have found at the last that the an- ticipation of a. tragic event outran the reality!
