The peplum cloak, fastening in a drapery on the left ■ boulder, is the latest novelty. It CLOAK Bum 70B'" LATH F A IJ- . jertainly will be a success, as it is ex ceedingly stylish.

A very elegant redingote has a triple pelerine covering the shoulders, while in front shaped revera run the entire length. Shown in the accompanying illus tration is a new-model cloak suitable for late fall of white cloth, fitting close ly over the shoulders, and from thence downward, flaring slightly and open ing in the centre of the back over a double fold of white velvet. Garni ture is of chinchilla; collar lined with the same fur. Lining is maize surah, olightly wadded. The design is from the Dry Goods Economist. It appears now very distinctly indi cated that wraps, cloaks and redin gotes will be far more fashionable than jackets as the'season advances, not, however, to their entire exclusion, as they are far too convenient and pretty for that to be possible. Another stylish redingote, also sloped off in front, has three very nar row shaped flounces surrounding it, and continuing up the front, diminish ing as they ascend, they are repeated on a sort of small pelerine covering the shoulders. Smart Autumn Jackets. This season's jackets are fascinating with their wonderfui curves and tailor tinish. It is a mistake to suppose an outside garment con be made at home. It is the one thing that must have the Rtamp of the tailor, and an exceeding ly "smart" one at thnt. Stitching is generally used on the new fall coats; and, although it is a finish, it must be kept thoroughly brushed, or the dust which settles on its threadn will give even a new coat the appearance of having been worn a long time. The short double-breasted type of jackot show;* in the Urge engraving is most useful for autumn wear. This style is especially adaptable in blue cloth. Blue is a shade that always if serviceable, and seldom looks shabby even after a season's hard wear. The model is blue cloth, with white facings, and is lined throughout with white satin, which, by the way, is one of the best linings ever employed Crystal buttons add considerably to the effect. The jacket flapß and a narrow band at the waist are of white The other jacket shown in the large engraving is an open one, and simulates a double coat. This has e shaped edge inserted between the cloth and the lining. This inner coat is fitted with revers which turn out ward over the other revers, and both are faced with white cloth. A vest ol ivory satin or silk, with jabot oi antique lace, adds much to its utility when something out of the ordinary is needed for afternoon or evening smart functions. Gray Leads For Tailor Gowni. The new tailor-made gowns, 01 rather the stuffs from which they are to be made, greet one as true and tried old friends, for they are chiefly tho ever-popular gray shades. Those Llpht-Slecved Gowns! The shoulders ami the tops of tho arms are so closely defined in the newest gowns that the woman with "wooden" shoulders, thin arms or a bad carriage is looking wistfully for ingenious ways of concealing her de fects. The smart dressmakers say they will not attempt to clothe young girls or too slender women in these severely simple bodices. A fold or two or a suspicion of a frill of lace or chiffon coders deficiencies and does not interrupt the line which fashion ordains. A becoming pinafore dress is produced by wearing over a lace bodice a second halt bodice of foulard or fine cloth, and inserting panels of the lace in the skirt, narrowing from the waist downward. The open part of the overdress may be connected by bands of velvet or stitched straps of cloth or silk, and similar bands can be adapted as shonlder-straps.

A dienifled deer, with sprangllag horns, Stepped into a hatter sand said: "I am pleased with the stock which your window adorns; fray, show me some hats for my head.' The batter wn9 frightened half out of his wits, But with manner quite bland and sedate. He said: "I'm afraid I have nothing that fits Your particular kind of a pate." Said the deer: "Sir. your window that statement denies: I ask nothing chat's better than these. I don't so mucli care for the lit or the size, But I'd like a variety, please. "So give me a felt hat, and give me a straw, And a beaver of superfine nap; A wide-awake also, a broad macktnaw, And a little silk traveling-cap. "A red s:noking-fez. embroidered In gold, A helmet of white, lined with green, A big. furry eealskiu to keep out the cold, And a sailor-cap like a marine.

Who carries his hats in a box is a dunce, When there's plenty of room on his head." —Carolyn Wells, in St. Nicholas. Child na Xtirae. Wheu Miss Nightingale was a child, the had mauy dolls; aud her great hobby was to affect to believe that they each in turn caught a serious ill ness, aud needed the most careful nursing. There was one rag baby that hud fever so badly that her life was despaired of, and little Florence would only goto her own bed one night on the positive assurance of her nurse and her mother that they would watch beside the sick doll. And watch they had to with a vengeance. For if any of the nurses tried togo away, thinking Florence was asleep, the little ladv was alert in a moment, and would not lie down until the duty was resumed. Eaily iu the morning Florence rose to take her share in the nursing, and then the others were al lowed to retire. She was soou able to say that the lag baby was much better.—Cassell's Little Folks. Kilning flip Blarney Stone. Everybody has heard of kissing tho Blarney stoue in the famous castle of Blarney, aud a good mauy people whose tongues do not run glibly on all occasions have probublv desired to touch their own lips to its smooth snr face in order that they, too, might im bibe some of that loquaciousness which is characteristic of the Irish race. But if they only knew of the difficulty they would encounter in getting to this kissiug stone to give it the desiietl smack a good many of the anxious ones might change their miuds and prefer to be stiff-tongued, after all. This particular stoue is near the top of one of the great towers of the aud aud to reach it you would have to climb 1'25 feet inside a cavernous old donjon. Then when you.have come to the nearest opening in the massive wall, you would have to be huug out of the window, head down ward, and hold over a parapet by the heels while going through the great osculatarv performance. Considering the dizziness entailed by this acrobatic feat a good mauy people would prefer not to be a "blarney." ISobb.v'a Sllnij. Bobby was lying on the bank,think ing what to do next. He had used his sling against several cats and seut them in frantic hHste beyond his reach, had brought down a robin with a well directed shot, and had sent Tommy into the house with a red spot on his face aud a protesting howl. Besides that, he had driven a bluebird from its nest, broken a wiudow, and ruffled the unusually even temper of his big chum Towser. Now he was wonuer iug what he should do next,for it still lacked an hour of school-time. He was a bad boy, von say? Well, perhaps circumstantial evidence indi cated that, but hiH mother was in position to judge, aud she did not thiuk so. Was he not prompt in doing his chores, and cheerful and williug in accepting extra work, and did he not insist on helping her wash dishes and swee.i and carry water? Some times she spoke severely of his "cruel spoilt," but in her heart she substituted another word for it, thoughtlessness. The sunlight lay warm (upon the bank, and presently he saw two bugs climbing a tiny slope that was bare of grass. Ho reached out for a pebble to throw, but none was within reach, and the game was not worth the exer tion of rising. So he lay there and watched. He was not quite sure about the bugs, but thought they were the kind that papa told of carrying such great weights. If so, they must be regular giants of strength, and this thought brought more interest into his eye . One of them was lagging behind the other and moving with a slow, halting motion, as though partly dis abled. Perhaps he had been trying to lift a mountain, and the mountain had fallen on him and broken his leg. Bobby chuckled at the idea, aud moved a little so he could see better, for now the foremost bug had turned back t > his companion, with whom he appeared to be in earnest consultation. In changing his position, Bobby's hand came in contact with a pebble, but he merely pushed it aside instead of picking it up to throw. He wanted to see what the bugs were going to do. And then a very curious thing hap pened. The bit of slope had become too steep for the disabled bug to climb, and his companion, as though appre ciating the situation, seemed to be studying some way out of the diffi culty. Presently he moved to a posi tion in front of his friend and flattened himself as closely as possible to the ground. After a little hesitation, the disabled bug climbed by slow and painful decrees upon liis back and wai borne up the slope and into the grass. Bobbv gave n low, expressive whistle, then lay back upon the grasi and gazed long and earnestly at a cloud that was floating overhead. At length he rose slowly, and did not even look at the grass where the bugi had disappeared. Down upon the lawn he could see a slight fluttering. It was the robin be had hurt, and he went down and caught the bird io spite of its dazed efforts to get away, lie carried it into the house to hit mother. "I shot it,mamma," he said,simply, but with au odd little note in his voice which made her look at birr quickly. "Don't you suppose we can fix it up agaiu all right? I don't think anything is broken. It's onlj stunned." She took the bird aud examined it critically. "Yes, I thiuk we cau bring it round all right," she said at length. "Nc bones seem to be broken. It is prob ably stunned. See, it's eyes are be ginning to look brighter already. What—'" She did not finish the sentence. Instead, she turned her back to Bobbj and appeared to be examining the bird. She had seen him opening the stove and drop his sling into the flames.—Youth's Companion. "Pellcantown." Frank M. Chapman tells the readers of the St. Nicholas how and where the pelicans of Florida build there nests and breed. I Why is it, he asks, that all the i eave-swallows in a village place theii ' row of mud tenements under the roo? !of a certain barn? Every nook in ; which a nest could be built is occupied by the clay apartments —not one is | "to let;" still, none of the birds seem j to thiuk of building under the equally favorable roof of the neighboring barn. | Their cousins,the bauk-swallows,show | the same strong sociability, and from ' miles around they gather to meet ic some particular sand-bank, the face o! j which will be thickly pitted with the entrances to their burrows. It is not because the place chosen is j the only one availnble that the bird? nest in flocks. There may be hun dreds of barns and banks just a-* good as the ones selected. It is not a \ question of food, for injects are abun dant everywhere, and these strong flying birds cau hunt them over miles of country. It is not because tliej , find "safety in numbers;" rather do < they make themselves conspicuous bj gathering in such large bodies. As s rule, it is sociability—the desire foi companionship—that offers the onl) i Yeasonable explanation for the great colonies which may be observed at i nesting-time. Certainly, no other theory will ex pl«in the origin of Pelicantown. Its site, like those often selected l>y human colonists, seems poorly chosen; its natural advautages are few; but so at tached to their home are its inhabi tants that even the most cruel perse eutiou by their human foes has failed to drive them from the land of tneh ancestors. But where is Pelicantown? Ir spite of its population of nearly three thousand, few maps will show it. (iluuce with me, therefore, at a niap of Florida. Find the Indian river, that long, narrow lagoon on its east coast, divided from the sea by only 8 ribbou of land. Pelicantown is situ ated obout midway between its north ern and southern extremities, neai the eastern shore of a bay which here makes the river about three miles wide. It is an island, triangular in shape, containing about three acres of ground. A few bushes and low palm trees grow on it, and there are great patches of tangled grass, but at least one-fourth of its surface is bare sand. During the nestiug soason this bar ren island is the home of probably all the pelicans of Indian rive . Here they come to build their nests, lay their eggs, and rear their young, and from January to May life in Pelicau town presents many novel scenes and picturesque incidents. In March, 1898, I visited this city of birds. As my boat approached I saw signs of life. Files of birds were returning from fishing expeditions; platoons were restiug on the sandy points; some were in bathing, others were sailing about in broad circles high overhead; and soon one could hear the sound of many voices—a medley of strange cries in an un known tongue. It being quite impossible to connt the birds, I determined to count theii nests, of which my census showed there were no less than 845; but only 251 were occupied, though all had been built that spring. The death rate is high in Pelican town. Doubtless many young birds die through injuries received while trying to escape from tourists who visit the island aud thoughtlessly chase the young birds about. Fggs aud very young birds are destroyed in hundreds by fish-crows, that daily come over from the mainland on marauding expeditions. It is not probable, therefore, that in many families three young pelicans live to leave the uest together; hence we may reckon about ono and a half pelicans to each of the deserted nests. Add to these two parent pelicans to each nest, and we have 2581 birds on the wing or on foot. But this number is to be in creased by the 154 young that were still in the nests, making the total population of Pelicautown 278-". This calculation, however, does not take into account the eggs found,from which almost hourly CJine new in habitants of the island; and it is with these eggs, or rather in what they were placed, that we may begiu our study of a pelican's life. t-<V « T" ! %-1 Should women vote?

The people have praotically no communication with others than their own tribe, being seldom visited by travelers. The inhabitants of the new Siberian islands are alfo detached people, for they can only communioate with the mainland once a year even if the weather is favorable. The pygmies of the great central African forests, if they can be called a tribe, have also been a people apart. For ages their existence was little more than (legendary, and only two expeditions commanded by white men have ever penetrated into their abode. Country Life. We believe in the country and the farm.
