Cloaks for the wee ones are daintie
and more luxurious than ever before.
They are frequently made of soft faille
or bengaline in white or any delicate
shade Of color, and are mostly coats in
Mother Hubbard style. The yoke, how.
ever, is merely deep enough to sew the
fulness Of the skirt upon it. A bunchy
effect is really aimed at and easily
achieved, with the fullness so high, and
tiny capes or plaitings and rufiles added
over the shoulders. They are very fas.
cinating; and they are properly completed
with cunning poke hoods to match them,
which come in sizes up to seven years
old
For misses and young girls there is a
great variety of coats, ranging from
short jackets to long redingotes. The
boucle and other rough, but heavy and
soft, cloths are used for these, in many
fancy mixtures. The brown bouce
trimmed with beaver is very handsome,
as is also long green coat trimmed
with gray fox; while for brunette
nothing could be more becoming than a
dark red and-black garment of heavy
diagonal weave, trimmed with black
Hercules braid.
Many coats have from three to seven
overlapping skirts, sometimes cut in
circle shape and sometimes following
the seams of the bodice part. The style
with three of these skirts is the most
effective, and when they are cut very
narrow they have the effect Of folds. -

A FERoCIoUs battle took place between
the two royal Bengal tigers in the Roger
Williams Park Menagerie at Providence,
II. l., in which Prince, noted animal,
was killed by Princess, his no less noted
mate. Prince was the aggressor, and
Princess, infuriated by the attack, flew
at her mate, and in the terrific combat
that ensued, tore his throat and head
into pieces Prince had bad reputation
among showmen, and was sold to the
Park Commissioners three years ago for
81. 600. much less than his quoted value.
Princess is well known to circus men,
and cost $4,000 originally, but was
bought for the park for $1,000. She is
reputed as cunning, but mild in temper
ament unless badly used. She is said to
be the handsomest tigress in captivity.
The Commissioners had an offer of
81, 800 for Princess last week and IS, 600
for the pair a month ago by the New
York Central Park Commissioners.

ABOUT CORNCOBS.
A Chapter on the Many Uses to which
They Can BE Put.

Corncobs are useful TO make pipes for
the men, as shoppers 10 bottles that have
mislaid their cOrks. 10 crowd into the
bungholc of the cider barrel, 10 throw Al
the hens when they scratch the young
onions, 10 curl hair on, 10 hold up win

grcase the griddle in place OF the
time. .honOred half of a turnip, to
wind bssting rayelings for future
use, 10 stop up any kind Of chink, 10
drive away red ants and TO found for
tune. The last two statements may
seem TO challenge remarks, but they can
bear the light of the best tallow ever
run in candle mould. One steps on
corncObs when entering the pantry, and
joggles the cream into the pickle dish.
On inquiry one finds that red ants don't
like cCrncobs.
| don't wonder. AS for the fortune, O
man who once lived not ten miles from
Springfield laid the foundations for a
fortune so large that, although he died
twelve years ago, The lawyers have not
yet done fighting over his will, solely by
carrying loads Of corncobs hither and
yon and selling them for fabulous prices
The children find both fun and sorrow
in corncobs. They make pretty dolls to
be sure, but if the masters Of the Inqui-
sition could have been provided corn
cobs sufficient TO allow one for the mouth
of each prisoner, they would have aban-
doned all other methods of torture. IL
is a most enlightening sight to enter a
"deestrict' school and see a row of little
culprits standing behind the stove, a
corncob in each mouth, and the silent
tears of agony rolling down the chubby
cheeks. A corncob smudge is said to
give ham aud bacon most perfect and
delicate flavor
A corncob put on pole, saturated
with kerosene and set blazing, will de-
stroy any worms nest into which it is
thrust during the early morning of June's
rare days. A corncob slightly creased
and set in candlcstick has been known
to burn half an hour, and to save bring
ing in the lantern from the barn in order
to light the children to bed. Without
the grease it would, if very dry, burn
slowly and perfume the air in a way that
showed itself an excellent substitute for
joss sticks. The ancient nurse in the
rural districts uses them TO purify the
atmosphere in the sick room and consid
ers that, together with wooen rags, they
are far ahead Of any disinfectant favored
by the medical fraternity.
Tho country damsel preparing for the
social fray has been known TO blacken
her eyebrows with burnt cob. When
children object too strenuously to having
their teeth secured with SCOT from the
teakettle, an indulgent parent may make
compromise on the black powder
from a burnt cob. In many places
the jetty stuff is supposed even to have
medicinal power, and Miranda swallows
quantity in order to have sweet
breath-ah, telltale plan-when Ferdi
nand comes a-wooing. You can black
boots with corncobs. You can shell corn
by rubbing cob on grain. a corncob
makes an excellent scrubbing brush.
A woman with soul for ingenuity once
hung out large wash with clothes pins
manufactured from cleft cOrncobs.

After the unsuccessful attempt to
harmoniously blend all the colors of a
gorgeous parrot in one gown, it is re-
lief to find that the stylish combinations
of black and white or black and cream
are popular again.
Sloped cores let into the back Of a
lounging gown produce graceful bell
effect.
A decided decrease in skirt widths is
noticeable characteristic Of autumn
fashions.
Candied chrysanthemums are the fash

The Alligator as "a Scavenger.

The alligator is the greatest living de
stroyer of snakes and water rats, thereby
rendering the coast countries safer to the
hunter than the interior. If people
would consider the alligator as a sure
source of revenue when his time comes
to be skinned aud his oil and tusks de-
livered up, and as an unrivalled water
scavenger while he lives, they would
protect him instead of trying to exter-
inmate him. -. Florida Farmer and Fruit

Shot velvets are used in millinery and
in wrap and gown finishing. These
shot velvets are newer than their name
indicates, as they are not the shaded
velvets known by that term which have
been in use so long. They are two-tone
fabrics, very dark shade of a color
being used in the pile, while the under
weaving is bright shade. Dark red,

ciated as well, red showing through
