effects as a result of contemplating the contents of the bottle 

 which this head covers, or if the protrusion is in derision of all 

 those who pass by on the other side. The same expression would 

 serve both ends. An old fashioned "dickey" of exaggerated size 

 in white rubber, and a cravat to match horns, ears, eyes, nose, 

 lips and tongue complete the stopper adornment. [The Hanover

FUR-TRIMMED RUBBER FOOTWEAR. 



The illustrations herewith relate 

 to a style of rubber footwear 

 very popular in many parts of 

 Europe, though unlike any of the 

 brands of American production. 

 As will be inferred, these boots 

 are intended as a protection 

 against deep snow, and also 

 against cold. In addition to being 

 felt lined, they are heavily trimmed 

 with furs, with the idea of giving 

 them the appearance of being 



comfortable as well as being such 



in reality. There is, of course, 



such a wide range of furs that 



prices may be arranged to suit 



purses of varying capacity. A 



very neat trimming at a moderate 



price is of krimmcr, which is very 



similar to astrakhan, and is gray 



in color. Goods of the type here 



illustrated are made for women, 



misses and children. [Etab- 



lissements Hutchinson, Mann- 

 heim, Germany.] 



THE MALLORY CRAVENETTE HAT. 



A H.\T that is rainproof as well as sunproof has distinct, not 

 to say economic, advantage over a hat of the ordinary type. The 

 Mallory is simpl_v a fine fur felt in quality, plus the value that 

 comes from the Priestley Cravenette finishing process. In un- 

 expected shower or under a scorching sun, and when the ele- 

 ments are less severe, the same hat may be worn without protec- 

 tion and without fear of its being made to suffer in appearance 

 in consequence. Tie styles are up to date, both in soft and stiff 

 felt. [E. A. Mallory & Sons. Inc.. No. 13 Astor place, New York.] 



PNEUMATIC SUCTION HORSESHOE PAD. 



A Horseshoe pad which has been patented recently not only 

 in the United States, hut practically all over the world, has been 



siven the very euphonic and 

 picturesque name "Sure 

 Foot." The accompanying 

 illustration shows, in a 

 measure, the general make- 

 up of the pad. Under the 

 central raised portion, which 

 is of rubber, a trifle more 

 than a quarter of an inch 

 thick, is sheet leather, which 

 is vulcani.'ed to the rubber. 

 This siives a cushion effect 

 under the central circular 

 portion. [Consolidated

locations, etc., these water jackets are substituted for the ice bag 

 and hot water battle with most gratifying results. Good results 

 have also been obtained when the jackets have been used in 



myalgia, arthri- 

 tis, rheumatoid, 

 and other aflfec- 

 t i o n s ol the 

 muscles and 

 ' «•' ^^^^^^^^M nerves. They 



are simple in 

 c ons truction 

 and adjustment, 

 being made of 

 an inner and 

 outer tube of 

 pure gum ce- 

 m e n t e d to- 

 gether at the 

 top and bottom. 

 Iced or hot 

 water is forced 

 between the two 

 tubes with a 

 bulb syringe 

 from a fountain 

 bag or from a 

 faucet, through 



,in inlet tube. The more water forced in between these tubes, 

 the tighter the jacket fits and the more the pressure in- 

 creases. When a continuous flow of water is necessary the 

 lower or outer tube will allow of regulating the flow through 

 a stopcock. The jackets, of which a specimen is shown in the 

 cut, are made in knee, ankle, wrist, and elbow size. [The B. F. 

 Goodrich Co., Akron, Ohio.] 



PIKE'S RUBBER BRUSH. 



The number and variety of bath, toilet, shampoo, and massage 

 brushes on the market are almost without limit, each one having 

 its special feature and special argument addressed to the trade 

 and the public. One of these brushes that has the merit of being 

 attractive looking, and lays claim to being a big seller, is Pike's 

 Rubber Brush. It may be used as an invigorator during the 

 bath ; it may also be used for a shampoo or for purposes of 

 massage for the body or the scalp, and last but not least as a 



complexion brush. By 

 rubbing the face with 

 the brush dry, it pro- 

 duces a glow and exhil- 

 aration, healthful, desir- 

 able and becoming. La- 

 dies more especially ap- 

 preciate this function of 

 the brush and their use of it is widespread. Inasmuch as their 

 artistic sense is supposed to be more highly developed than that 

 of "mere man," the combination of utility and beauty appeals 

 to them, and the plainer brush, while it serves its purpose does 

 not serve theirs— and the more attractive production finds its 

 way to "my lady's" lavatory. [O. C. Pike, Akron, Ohio, figure 

 among those who manufacture this attractive brush.]

Cycle Tires in Demand. — The London Statist says, in an 

 article on the British cycle trade: "Speaking generally, the 

 year just ended has proved one of the most satisfactory that the 

 trade has yet had— the works have been busier and the output 

 greater than at any other period. On the other hand, the larger 

 output has been accompanied by a smaller margin of profit than 

 was the case when there was a 'boom' in the industry in 1897. 

 So that with a broader basis the trade is in a healthier condition."
