Of course these plain bits will need note care and polishing, for where there .are no iauuiiui ornaments to catch the eye, the least bit of aspot or clou-d shows with a. terrifying inâ€" sistence. There are no ornaments to goonceal a multitude of sins, and specks \and flaws stand forth as dread accus~ @115 against mistress and maid. But ihe care that must be bestowed upon it will be well repaid when you see :our guests seated before a service of Berhaps the most favored’are the pieces shown in plain English, or the French Bacraret glass, the manufzimur- er‘ lending his name to this last. The shapes in both are simple modifications of well-known formsâ€"forms that, from their very simplicity and fitness, will never be far out of style, as frequent- ly happens to those much-tortured de- .5igns invented to meet the passing ‘fad. In fact everything is fashionable, and no two people have taste exact- ly alike. The show windows and the swell tables both show a surprising variety; of glassware. Péople of good taste have always chosen their glassware in harmony withe its probable surroundings, and have exercised individual choice, Irre- spective of fashion, to a certain extent, but now this very independence of ac- tion is “ the thing” and is likely to result as such things usually do, in Ireakihs‘nees. ' GLASSVVARE FASHIONABLE. Those who are perplexed over the Ipparent chaos in table glass fashions may: be pleased to know that they may buy anything which suits their fancy, for absolute liberty of choice, is the blissful condition just now. Those who like the heavy cut glass so much priz- ed in days gone by may haul it out from its resting placing in disused china closets, where its prismatic splen- dors have been hidden for many! a day, since grandmother packed it carefully away and set to glitter and sparkle on the festal board with perfect pro- priety. Engraved glass and gums that is not engraved find their places side by side, and great, thick pieces of transparent ware are in as good form as those of eggshell thinness. Readers of the Star were startled ast Saturday to see the names of pro- inent public men high in the service f the United States printed in con- ection with endorsations of a Cana- ian patent remedy. Not only was it lurprising that men of such promin- ce would permit their names to be sad, though this was unusual err ugh and it speaks volumes for the reparation that such was the case, ut that United States senators and congressmen, prominent professional men and United States army officers ’should be willing to endorse a Cana- dian remedy is more surprising still, The people on the other side of the border are rather noted as being greater believers in the merits of their own goods than in thosa of, other countries“ “4’ ‘ Last Saturday the Star published a full page of testimonials in favor of the Canadian, Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Each one of these letters was signed by a public manâ€"and an eminent public manâ€"in the United States. Each of these letters was accompanied by a portrait of the writer repro- duced from photographs supplied by themselves. Seldom has there been such an exhibition of genuine grati- tude to a medicine than given Dodd's Kidney Pills by these gentlemen. Their names are known all through the States, two of them, at least, throughout the world. Men in the eye of the public such as these men are, feel very strongly before they allow statements of opinions attach- ed to their names to be published all over the country. They rightly feel There were no traces of hesitation about the letters on that United States history page in last Saturday's Star however, all was plain, honest and straightforward. The writers had been cured of kidney diseases by Dodd’s Kidney Pills and had the courage and independence to anâ€" nounce the fact in plain outâ€" spoken terms. They were not getting anything for it; some peeple might make slighting remarks about their names being connected with a patent medicine testimonial. But this did not interfere with what they esâ€" teemed to be their duty to fellow suf- ferers and but fair to the medicine that cured them. Careless of any- thing but the factsâ€"that Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills had cured them of kidney diseases where other medicines and treatments had failed â€"- they gave a greater responsibility in 8110]} Ina-t- ters than ordinary private indiYIduals. A public man has a reputatiou to sustain and from long experieuce considers well before he expresses him- self for publication. Recent Issue of the Star causes a Sensa- tion Among Its Readers. TRUTH IN BULK Irrefutable Mass of Evidence Gathered by a Canadian Concern Operating in the United States. EMINENT MEN INVOLVED (From The Toronto Star.) i This seems impossible, but it is a fact; Perhaps at dessert a dish of 5 Venetian glass, milky white, with its ‘- rQSes and green leaves about the edge, will be set to holding the fruit, while a dish of heavy cut glass at one end gives back sparkle for sparkle with the jelly that fills it, and a dish of English crystal with twisted handles at the other end, matches with its .smooth severity the severe smoothâ€" ,ness of the blanwmange. ‘. With all this pleasant news in her {mind the inland dweller need not per- plex her mind about what her city sister is doing.

This page is considered the strongest mass of evidence ever printed in favor of a patent medicine in this country. All this is for those whose tastes run to Quaker like simplicity and quiet richness, but for those who like more florid things there are equally nice things in store, and for the lovers of the "odd piece” idea, the accommo- dating salesman will break “ sets ” and mi_x_ _them up to suit. Senator Busse, Representative Ris- um, Captain McComb, Roy Keator, were among thosB who freely testified to the merits of Dodd’s Kidney Pills Hon. Alva Merrill, was cured of Rheumatism by Dodd’s Kidney Pills. and thought enough of the medicine that cured him to recommend it above his own signature. " I heartily endorse Dodd’s Kidney Pills," says he, "to anyone with deranged kidneys or rheumatic pain. Such, no doubt, was the condition of mind of R. A. Wade, the great crim- inal lawyer, of Chicago, whose testi- monial appeared on the page under discussion. He it was who defended Pendergast, accused of murdering Carter Harrison, Mayor of Chicago. He is probably the best known man In his profession in the United States, having been retained in more sensa- tiDnal criminal cases than any other lawyer in America. He was not only cured of kidney disease, but his sight which, owing to the attacks of that eSéiential feature of kidney disease, uric acid, had been entirely lost, was restored by Dodd’s Kidney Pills. __:n_ Captain dBogardus, champion rifle shot of the world distinguished veter- an 0f the Civil War, was cured of Bright’s Disease by Dodd’s Kidney Pills. When it is considered that Bright’s Disease usd to be incnrable, the feeling that prompted Captaln Bo- gardus to give his name and testimonâ€" ial for the benefit of others will be undersitocd. . p It takes a very unselfish man to al- low his name to be associated with a patent medicine testimonial -â€"- or a man powerfully impressed with the merits ,of the preparation and un- usually grateful for the benefits de- rived from it. One naturally dislikes having accounts of one’s physical de- fects published broadcast even though there is a Complete cure attached. But there is a stage where ill health becomes so pronounced that all pride, vanity, reserve â€" call it what you likeâ€"gives way. You are sick and you don't care who knows it. The fact can’t be evaded. l When a man in this condition, trying remedy after remedy in vain, at last strikes, quite unexpectedly, a medicine that cures him, he is so genuinely grate- ful, so filled with the joy of convalesâ€" cence that he is ashamed to think of keeping the facts to himself.“ ‘ their evidence fairly and honestly for the benefit of others.
