WRAPS FOR THE LADIES.
Garments for the Fall Season Are Begins
ming to Appear.

ming to Appear.
The chiffon boa and the string of
flowers which have been doing sum-
mer duty as wraps are beinning to be
laid aside and fall substitutes are de-
manded. The feather boa reappears
on the scene considerably more gor-
geous than it was in its first state. 1t
comes in every possible color, but it is
never long except for evening wear.
The longest ones reach only to the
waist. The feathers are beautifully
curled ones. OF course black is the
most popular color because of the wide
range of its usefulness, hut brown and
gray also have their admirers Com
binations of color are also frequent and
black and green or black and mahog-
any color are the favorites
A wrap which is compro mi Sc be-
tween cape and jacket is on the mar
ket, and seems to have points to recon-
mend it. The jacket includes every
thing but the sleeves, and is made
somewhat long and loose. Where the
sleeves should be there are shoulder
capes extending to the wrists This
wrap allows freedom of motion to the
arms, does not crush the dress sleeves
and at the same time affords greater
protection from cold than the ordinary
cape.
A combination garment, consisting
of feather boa and shoulder cape is
among the fall novelties. The cape is
a short affair, extending only over the
shoulders. 1t is made of carefully Sc
lected ostrich feathers curled at the
edges, but laid fiat upon a silk founda-
ton and slightly overlapping one an
other The collar portion is the or
binary feather boa, cut abruptly at the
throat instead of hanging in dangling
ends.
Now that the edict has gone forth
that sleeves are to decrease in size,
jackets begin to be numbered among
the fall possibilities. One style shown
reveals a full back, fastened beneath a
belt, which disappears under the side
seams, leaving the front loose. In
length this garment is about equal to
the popular golf cape. 1t fastens from
the throat down beneath flap, and
is altogether rather severe looking
wrap.
A pretty short jacket is made of
brown box cloth in double breasted
style. The turnover collar is of vel
vet. The big buttons are of smoked
pearl, with a great deal of brown show
ing in them. The lining is u gorgeous
stfair of buttercup yellow
The wise woman is providing for the
fall season by carefully studying the
comparative merits of mackintoshes
They are shown this season in water
proof cheviots and serges, and in wool
en- materials lined with the thinnest of
silk rubber, Some of them have two
short capes, and others one long one
The capes button all the way down-a
point which one appreciates on windy
day. The loose ulster portion of the
macintosh is generally double breast
ed, and fastens with pearl or bone but
tons.-N. Y World

WARNING TO PARENTS.
Injurious Effects of Alcohol on Young
Children.

Injurious Effects of Alcohol on Young
Children.
1t often happens that the fathers Of
families thoughtlessly give their chill
dren wine or beer to drink, and some
times even liquors. They can not be
too strongly warned against this in
furious practice. Recent experiments
prove that alcohol may cause grave
cerebral and physiologic disorders
when administered to young children.
DIR. Demme, of Berne, counsels parents
not to make practice of giving their
children tea and coffee to drink, and he
quotes an example of the evil effects of
alcohol. A little boy ten years old,
very clever for his age, had been seri-
ously ill. His father, with the inten-
ton of strengthening him, gave him
every day one or two liquor glasses of
Malaga. After two months of this
treatment it was noticed that the
child no longer possessed the excel
lent memory he had had till then; he
sometimes forgot his own name and
also that of the different objects he
used every day. The family doctor
advised that the alcohol should be
discontinued entirely, and the child's
memory became as good as it had
been before. Later on, the father still
nursing the idea that alcohol strength
ems, began to give his son beer twice
a day, The consequences were exact
ly the same as before. The child's
memory grew weaker, and he only re-
covered full use of it when he had
ceased taking alcoholic drinks.-An-
mails of Homeopathy and Hygiene.

BEER CAUSED HER DOWNFALL.

81 have studied rather carefully in
TO this subject, replied the doctor,
land have a few figures which may
De interesting. Out of two hundred
inebriate women, some of whom be-
long to our so-called first society," |
found that one hundred and twenty
six began their drinking by the use of
beer, thirty by drinking whisky
las punch at first usually), twenty be-
gan with wine, eight with gin, and
eleven could not remember what bev-
erage was first used. Of the bever-
ages first used, while in thirty-seven
cases it began with whisky, in one
hundred and eighty-seven it had be-
come the favorite beverage. Several
hopeless drunkards, far gone toward
insanity, had never drunk any other
intoXicant than beer. One hundred
and twenty-five were committed to
prison for drunkenness, fifty-six for
offences against chastity and public
order, and sixteen for crimes
against property. Their ages,
when last committed, averaged
thirty and one-half years. Sixty
five were between thirty and forty-one
years of age, forty-nine between TWEEN
ty-fve and thirty-one years of age,
thirty-four between twenty and TWEEN
ty-six years of age, thirty between
fifteen and twenty-one years of age.
The remainder were over forty-one
years of age"
"How did this drinking affect their
children?'
Il have some statistics on this sub
ject, too. Of one hundred and eleven
inebriate mothers, thirty-three of
whom had inebriate husbands, four
hundred and eight children were born.
OF these two hundred and twenty-seven
persisted in infancy and early child
hood, and of the survivors many are
doomed evidently to an early death
In many cases the death of these chill
dren was indirectly due to the inc
briefly of the parents, as cold, de-
privation, etc. Ages: Twenty
seven of the two hundred and
four women began to drink in
toxicants before they were ten years
of age, aleven between the ages of
nine and fifteen, seventy-four between
fourteen and twenty-one, thirty-seven
between twenty and twenty-six, thir-
ty.three between twenty-five and thir-
ty-one, nineteen between thirty and
forty-one, three between forty and
flty-one.'
"Do most women begin drinking
early in life?"
The average age when they began
was eighteen and one-h half years. More
than oue-half had formed ha bits of in
temperance before they were twenty
one years of age, and more than one
third at the giddy age of from fifteen
80 twenty, inclusive One hundred and
thirty-two began to drink socially with
female friends"

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.


Female inventors are, according to
the patent Office reports, adhering to
the lines of the old rather than the
new woman. Out of 400 patents grant
ed to women in 1894, 100 were for wear
ing apparel and 100 for cooking uten-
sils.
According to NJ. Gambler Bolton,
lions fetch $500 each, lion cubs $500
each, tiger cubs, S40G; Malayan tapir,
$500; young hippotamus, s., 800; gil
RATES., up to s., 900 apiece, while African
elephants cannot be purchased in Eu-
rope at any price.
"A good and easy way to discover
the presence of ozone in place is to
wear silver trinkets. If they grow
black, as if near hot sulphur springs,
you have it in large proportion. Silver
jewelry keeps white in the low-lying
towns of Norway, but gets black in the
hillside pine woods. If one walks in a
meadow after a thunderstorm one will
find the silver money in ones purse dis
colored.

bother him great deal These birds
are regular topers in their love Of
grape juice. They stick their beaks
into the grapes, suck up the Juice, and
three or four birds are able to ruin
several tons of grapes in short time.
AS seventeen of Mr., Burroughs twenty
acres are devoted to grape culture this
is a serious matter.
"A Worcester Mass man the other
day received a consignment of mock
ing birds from San Antonio, Tex and
over two-thirds of them were dead
They were some sixty in number, and
they were shipped five days before in
a box. Over the top was put tin

This somebody did, for the birds had
nearly all been drowned, forty being

Small boys often ask their parents:
How deep is the sea-" The answer
depends entirely upon the sea, The
following table, compiled by one who
has investigated, may help one to the
solution of one of the small boys prob

Among the Germans the badge of
a married woman consists of a little
cap or hood, of which they are very
proud, and looming the cap" is a fea-
ture of the wedding day among the
peasants of certain localities. The
married women of Little Russia are
always seen, even in the hottest
weather, with thick cloth of dark
hue twisted about their heads. In
every country but our own there is a
sign or symbol of some kind that dis
tinguishes the matron from the spin
ster.
Much interest attaches to a new
invention of an arrangement of float
ing tubes SO constructed as to prevent
boats from sinking. The tubes are
run along each side of the boat, and
they will not only keep it afoat, even
when capsized, but will support all it's
occupants, if need be, who can readily
lay hold of them. When the boat is
capsized the tubes come to the level of
the water, although it is claimed that
the mere adjustment of the tubes
makes capsizing almost an impossi-
