The summary exhibits interesting data as to the relative frequency of the different kinds of casualty, &c., which conclude che existence of vessels.

If these be taken collectively they comprehend 12 per cert. ot the losses of steamers aod nearly 24 per cent. of the losses of sailing vessels, The pe:centages here given are bared on presevit return alone, but the order of the frequency of the several classes of cusualty appear to be normal. The r-turn has been compiled by Lioyd’s Regist+r in such a manner as to enable a comparison to be made between the per- cevtazes of loes suftered by each of the priocips! merchant navies of the world.

The Same... Old Sarsaparilla.

That’s Ayer’s. The same old sarsaparilla as it was made and sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer 50 years ago. In tue laboratory it is different. There modern appli- ances lend speed to skill and experience. But the sarsapa- rilla is the same old sarsaparilla that made the record—50 years of cures. Why don’t we better it? Well, we’re much in the condition of the Bishop and the raspberry: ‘‘ Doubtless, ” he - said, “God might have made a better berry. But doubtless, also, He never did.” Why don’t we better the sarsaparilla? We can’t. We are using the same old plant that cured the Indians and the Spaniards. It has not been bettered. And since we make sarsaparilla com- pound out of sarsaparilla plant, ' we see no way of improvement. Of course, if we were making some secret chemical compound we might.... But we’re not. We're making the same old sar- saparilla to cure the same old diseases. You can tell it’s the same old rsaparilla be- cause it wit the same old cures. It’s the sovereign blood purifier, and—it’s Ayers. c

GOWN GOSSIP.
The skirts are moderately full, but with nothing like the ripple effect of
last season.
Among tt: newest jackets are thos¢ with straight fronts slightly curved | away from the waist line. Plaids are fashionable. They are shown not or n the regulation class, but in French wad fancy patterns.
There is nothing more useful, stylish and universally becoming than a skirt and blazer. It suits everybody and is a general favorite.
Separate waists of crepe de chine are extremely popular. They are made in all colors and black and may be worn with skirts of any shade or tint.
Blazer suits should be made of mod- erately heavy and rather firm goods. Fabrics that draw easily and are bound to get out of shape should not be used for blazer suits.
Simplicity is going out of date. Fash- ion demands the utmost elaborateness, and the amount of material and trim- ming that may be put into an up to date dress is something surprising.
School dresses for girls are made of all wool plaids with velvet collar, cuffs and yoke. They are also trimmed with narrow velvet ribbon or braid in row upon row erin fanciful and elaborate patterns.
A stylish waist has the front entirely covered with insertion and plain strip of material alternating. This made up front is quite full and hasa collar of the plain material with folds of silk mingled with the folds of the goods. The sleeves are quite full at the tops and fit the arms closely below the elbows.— New York Ledger.

Perfectly Cured
Weak and Low Spirited — Nervous Prostration— Appetite Poor and Could Not Rest.
‘*T take great pleasure in recommending Hood’s Sarsaparillato others. It has been the means of restoring my wife to good health. She was stricken down with an attack of nervous prostration. She suf- fered with headaches and her nerves were under severe strain. She became very low spirited and so weak she could only do a little work without resting. Her appetite was poor, and being so weak she could not get the proper rest at night. She decided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as we had heard it highly praised, and I am glad to state that Hood’s Sarsaparilla has perfectly cured all her ailments.” G.
