length for cape. Some condemn short capes as too cold; some criticise them all for the same reason. Since the doctors disagree on this point, there Is no unwisdom in offering for the read CTS consideration cape that is not capable of sufficient protection to a wearer on a severe day. yet that Is in dressy and serviceable in all but very cold weather. It is shown In this picture and was sketched in gray cloth edged with garnet velvet, with orna- ments of the same in the corners. It was topped by a ripple collar of the velvet trimmed to match, in addition to two guipure yandyked points in front Around the neck there Is fur collar. The hat worn with the cape is velvet garnshed ruby, with black os- trich plumes and ruby satin ribbon bows. In place of the ruby velvet myr- tie green can be employed, but the gray cloth should in that case be of a very light shade.
 With the first really cold days muffs appeared, and the early crop was a dainty lot, open to fully as much criti- cism as to the protection afforded as elbow length capes of the sort sketched. Many of them were mere nothings of lace, flowers and fur. Some folks think them pretty. Others-though they are the ones who haven't such muffs-think they look as if the dressmaker had been ordered to return the pieces and sppo 10 sIpunq eIlaII g ul os euop pau and ends which was being carried by mistake, for huff.

QUITE GLORIOUS.

That wasn't as glorious victory won by Yale at Springfield Saturday as 1t might have been. but 1t was a victory, and victory is what Yale Is after every time. It is a little unfortunate that fault Is found with the referee, and 1t Is also unfortunate that a Har- yard man had his collar bone broken. that another had his nose broken, that one Yale man is in danger of losing one of his eyes and that another had to go to hospital. We suppose there will be some talk about the brutality of the game, but we shall not join In it, for we believe the game was worth all 1t cost as an advertisement for Yale. It is fine thing for a great institution of learning to be able to point to such an affair as that of last Saturday as an illustration of what its training can do. If 1t Is true, as Is reported, that MT. Murphy broke Hallowell's nose and Worthington's collar bone before he was finally knocked out, he did deeds which will long be celebrated at Yale and which will make of him one of the heroes of the university. He is hero anyway, but deeds like those now as- cribed to him will make his heroism so apparent that his alma mater cannot, if 1t would, refuse to give him his proper place among her great ones. And as for the others who didn't manage to hurt anybody seriously they can try again in the next game. They, too, have the making of heroes in them, and their op- portunity may come. They should be encouraged by Yale's hero worshippers to persist.
 We heartily congratulate Yale. Twenty-Five thousand of the best peo- pie in tho country saw her strew the field with her ancient enemies and win the battle even without the help of the umpire and the referee. The brave deed is amply recorded in all the newspapers of the country, and in some of the news papers of other countries. It will tell next summer at the entrance eKamina- tions. Young men like 70 go to school which has football team that can do what the Yale team did Satur- day. And their parents realize that school which is so conspicuous and suc- cessful on Its physical side Is equally conspicuous and successful on its intel lectual and moral sides. A school which is strong in its feet and legs and back and arms is necessarily strong in its head and heart. So three more cheers for Yale, the boss of the bloody football field and the router of the red!

She hangs on for minute, hoping IL Is false alarm. but when she sees the condue- tor and motorman assuming positions | which should be labelled "Only walt Ing" she rises up and makes for the door. On the platform she catches the eye of the conductor and gives him | a look which makes him tired all day. but she does not speak. She dare not trust herself to stop there and tell him her inmost thoughts. and he's heap glad that such is the case. The next is the innocent young girl and her ma.

 But won't there be an explosion or something?
 Dunno, but we'll sit right here and make 'em pay all damages"
 How dreadful! I wish l had brought a novel; The fifth and sixth on the schedule are the man reading a newspaper with plenty of time on his hands, and the stranger on the way to the depot. The man with the paper isn't saying a word, and he doesn't care copper when the car resumes business, but the other stands up and sits down, and finally queries:
 She's stopped, hasn't she?". "Um" growls the other.

 And will we be detained long?"
 Cant tell; you are not obliged to sit here"
 No, of course not That is, I'm not obliged to-that is, you know"
 And the stranger flushes up and looks hot and mad and leaves the car and makes for the sidewalk There is one more out of a possible twenty-five or thirty. She is the fat woman with the bundle and has been placidly spreading herself over three seats and congratulating her soul that she is no hairpin to be tucked away in a corner. The bundle is securely tied, and no public eye can make out its contents. Two minutes after the stop the fat wo- man has made up her mind what course she ought to pursue. She rises to her feet with majestic movement, yanks that bundle off the seat in an imperious manner, and marching to the door she calls out:
 Where is the conductor of this car?"

IMPRESSIVE BANKING.

IMPRESSIVE BANKING.
 The solemnity and the style which characterize banking in New York city are impressive and sometimes oppres- sive. Little would one think, while gaz- ing at the overlapping performance, that there is any flaw in that which looks so pretentious and so perfect. And yet it has been discovered during the last week in two of the most solemn and impressive New York banks that nobody really knew anything about the business except those who were stealing the money left by trusty depositors in their charge. The affair in the Shoe and Leather bank is startling enough. It is acknowledged that Bookkeeper Seely of that bank has been robbing it for the last ten years, and that he has taken $354,000 in all. He was "a quiet, home-loving man" and everybody felt safe about him of course. He had a depositor named Baker to help him, His method of conveying was simple, yet effective. The depositor Baker, who was in collusion with him, would pre- sent check say for $2OO to the paying teller, who would ask the bookkeeper if Bakers account was good for the amount. Seely would reply "Yes," even though Baker had not a dollar in the bank. seely would then credit Bakers account with an amount sufficient to cover the check. and the amount so placed to Bakers credit Seely would charge against the account of say John Jones. The paper debits and credits balanced each other, and so the cash balance at the end of the day would not show the transaction. When it became necessary to balance the account of John Jones, Seely would draw Con pa perl from another account as he had done from Jones', and so on as far as became necessary. It is estimated that he did this with more than. one hun | dred accounts.
 It is announced that they are going to have new system of bookkeeping in that bank, and it is hoped that when it is established it will prevent anybody from stealing for ten years from the bank without detection. Three-hundred and fifty-four thousand dollars gone and none of it missed by anybody! It is evident that the bank in which such an accident could happen needs a new system of bookkeeping. It also needs a new set of officers and directors, but we do not suppose this need will make itself felt to any great extent. The old direc. tors ought to meet and pass a vote of thanks to 'Bookkeeper seely for not talk. ing away the bank building from under their noses. It .,is not probable that they would have noticed it's absence. Banking in New Haven may not be as solemn and stylish and impressive as it is in New York, but 1t seems to he | quite as sound

 And the company Is responsible for any pecuniary loss that l may suffer through this detention" "Yes'm." She lifts up her bundle and descends and marches away, but has not yet set foot on the curbstone when the car moves on, and everybody is happy again. She raises her hand to the con- ductor to stop, but she Is too far away, and he shakes his head and mutters:
 Sometimes it's the indefinite cleo tricity, and then again it's the indefi- mite woman, and between the two of 'em it's a wonder I don't lose my in definite hold on this ere job"

Dr. Searles of Pittsburg says that apples are about the best medicine a man can take. and advises even per sons of delicate constitution to eat them just before retiring for the night. The apple contains more phosphoric acid in digestible form than any other vegetable and excites the action of the liver, promotes healthy sleep, regu- lates the stomach, helps the kidneys, wards off indigestion and prevents diseases of the throat. And yet there are people who cannot eat an apple without having pain for several days thereafter.

The Colliery Guardian, of London, has the following to say: The cutlery ex- ports from Sheffield to the United States have largely increased since the new system came into operation. Under the Mckinley tariff there was falling off of fully 75 per cent, and only the best class of goods could find profita ble market. During the qua arter ended last June the value exported was only six thousand five hundred and eighteen pounds, whereas the returns for the last quarter show value of forty-two thou sand six hundred and seventy-seven pounds The whole of the increased trade has been done since the new sys- tenn came into force at the end of Au- gust.
 The vexed question of gambling at Ostend has been decided finally by a decree of the Communal council grant ing the privilege of maintaining the gambling-tables at the Kursaal upon conditions which, if any less profita ble mode of making capital out of human weakness were under consideration. might almost be deemed prohibitiye. The lessees receive nine years lease from 1895, for which they must not only each advance separate guarantee of 5000, but must also bind themselves to pay each yearly the sums of $10,00O to the hospitals and almshouses, $1O, 900 to the town charities, and $1O,OOO to the commune. They are responsible fer half the taxes and for all the cost of lighting and repairs. In fact, the rent may be set down at $125, 900 for a season that barely extends over six or seven weeks.

The accompanying statement q

The average OF earnings for over
