Inns. in the largest and most brillian
Scotch piaids, are among the first goods
opened. The material is very rich and
heavy, with silky surface, and the
plaids are as large as it is possible to
wear them and are in various combina-
tions, broken by threads of red, yellow
and black.
I: Very heavy silks are shown 10 the same
styles. and it is self-evident fact that
Scotch plaids of all kinds are to be one
of the marked features of the autumn
season.
Plain materials combined with these
handsome goods are also shown; but,
oh, how many guys we may expect TO
see. for these brilliant and SNOWY plaids
are very difficult to make up. Another
line of goods which strongly resembles
the goods called vesting for making
fancy figured vests has a foundation
color of blue or green, and is covered
with small polka dots in scarlet or
white.
Costumes of Irish Frieze.
A more pronounced novelty is a So
called Irish frieZe, which will make up
into stunning" winter costumes. 1t is
not. of course, so thick or rough as
genuine frieZe. but is an excellent i'm
itation of the surface of that invincible
and indestructlble cloth.
The rough surface is striped with a
smoother line, which is sunk in the
hairy cloth, and the colors are soft and
rather undecided, with slightly sheeny
effect. A very handsome piece is moss
colored, with gray reflection on the
surface of the pile. Another is golden
brown. These goods are the greatest
novelties have so far seen, and pre-
dict decided success for them. Their
price at present is about S2.75 per yard,
ana they are very wide.
ChangeabIe SmOOth-Faced Cloth.
There are many changeable fabrics.
Among them is smooth-faced cloth
changing from pink to gray as it is
moved in the light. The surface is
broken by fine black cords which stand
up in ridges.
Bayadcre stripes are numerous among
the new goods. A very rich line which
resembles. uncut velvet, but has no silk.
is finely striped in green and gold. max

ample apron of leather shielded the

suggestion of unfitness for the dust and
smoke was pair of dainty boots which
padded around the sloppy floor near

a dab of SCOT on her nose and sundry
SmutcheS on her face and arms gave an
air of realism to the scene, and showed
the earneStneSs of the lady who could
forget her primneSs in her devotion to
blackslnithing. The forge fire was
troublesome because it was urged only
by hand-blast, while at the others any
desired strength of air current could be
maintained by merely opening a valve
connecting with a steam blower, but
Miss Beveridge did not mind the annoy-
ance or additional labor. While ham

Oh which she was working the fire
would almost die out. Then to reheat
her metal the lady was compelled
to turn the crank OF her blast engine
until her fire glOwed. which caused loss
of time and waste of strength, but the
labor was cheerfulIy performed. and the
pleasure of the lab0rer was easily to be
seen when the proper treatment had

of the tools that seemed in keeping with
the slightnesS of the artisan. At one

San Francisco Examiner. The lady
ana her singular choice of occupation
have been mentioned in the Examiner,

that the California worlds fair commls.
sioners had invited her to 20 to Chicago
and set up her forge in the California
aggregation. Perhaps to James D. Phe-
Ian, mora than to any other. is due the
Interest taken III Miss Beveridge and
her art. AS soon as that commissioner
learned that Miss Beveridge had taken
up Dlacksmithing seriously and was
showing an unusual kegree of prof.
cheney for one so new to the study, he
offered announcement and suggested
that the lady would be a most attractive
feature OF the California showing if She
could be induced to work at her forge
during part of each day. Miss Bever-
idge consented, and will represent the
ackSmiths of the state at Chicago.
She was found yesterday deep in the
study of problems in Welding and fors-
ing over her hot blast and anvil in the
smithy annex of the Coggswell Poly

from Instructor Mathis. The IRON work.

THE SERPENT OF OLD NILE.
CIeopatra's Magnetism Greater
Than Her Reauty

CIeopatra's Magnetism Greater
Than Her Beauty.
What was the inner character of
Cleopatra? A voluptuous woman OF the
East, say the Romans. eager to enchain
any master of a Roman army by the
foulest arts. but the Roman oligarchy
not only hated, but dreaded Cleopatra.
10 them she was not only Asia incar-
nate. but the representative of that
''regaF' sway that rule by volition
rather than by traditional order, which
with their stateSman-like instinct,
they saw the triumphant aris-
tocrat whom their system tended to pro-
duce would ultimately desire. They
cursed her as the greatest OF Asiatic
hariOtS, whereas she was a Greek and
used her charms chiefly as instruments
to attain her ends, which were, first of
all. the empire of the East, which her
ancestors had Striven for generations to
acqulre-and very nearly acquired-and
TO dereat the half civilized and headless
Roman power, which she hated with
the hatred of monarch and despiSed
with the contempt of a true Greek.
Who were these barbarianS that they
should conquer men who were polished
when they were savages? She always
Selecleu the same lover, the head Of the
invading Roman army, and always used
him to help her in founding, as she
hoped, the empire of the East. Her
attractive power was probably not her
beauty. Her coins do not reveal beau
tiful woman, but a broad-browed,
thoughtful queen, and Plutarch, in
describing her, evidently speaks on
the authority OF men whose rather
had studied her face. He says:
Her actual beauty, it is said, was
not in itself so remarkable that
none could be compared with her or
that no one could see her without being
struck by it, but the contact of her pres
ence, if GU lived with her, was irresist-
ible; the attraction of her person, join
ing with the charm OF her conversation
and the character that attended all she
said or did was something bewitching.
1t was pleasure merely to hear the
