child Is apt to take cold. Some little girls
from 10 to 10 wear short round capes, and
box coats with tailor seams are also seen,
among their garments.
For mourning for young children the
empire coat is preferred and is made of
any black stuff, not necessarily the expen-
sive eudora, and all seams are bound and
yokes covered with English Grape. Black
felt hats trimmed with lusterless taffeta
ribbon and frosted black quilts are proper.
For parties and home dinners where chill
drcn may be seen with propriety there are
lovely little trOcks of white and all the
evening colors in fine yelling and silk
mulls. Dotted swisscs are still favorite
dress fabrics and, made up with the usual
concomitants, are pretty and girlish.
They are always made over silk of some
contrasting color. Blouse waists with
lines of very narrow ruChes Of butter col
ored valenciennes sewed up and down or
round and round are extremely pretty.
Others have the yoke effect, with lace
ruffling around it in bertha shape. For
the older girls there are figured silk mulls.
Tucks in the thin materials are often seen
and bayaderc stripes Of ribbon. The rich
ly colored Roman sasEes belong of right to
the young. They also will wear handsome
wide ribbon sashcs tied with deep loops
and ends hanging almost to the bottom of
the dress. These ribbons arc self cOlored
and have rows of five or six heavy cords
along the edge. Taffeta, moire and plaid
will also be favorite ribbons for young
folks. One fancy l noticed was to have q
love knot tied on the left shoulder, with
long ends hanging down the back.
For riding habits for young girls the
blouse waist is decidedly the favorite shape,
Bicycle costumes for young girls are also
made with divided skirts. There is new
patent design out where the whole gar
mcnt, coat and skirt, is cut in one and
looKs, while walking, like an ulster coat.
BY some ingenious arrangement of but
tons or tapes it can be changed in two
minutes to n pair of boomers and coat
combined. To many this will prove q
blessing, as young girls dislike to walk in
the streets in even divided skirt closed in
front, for the wind often blows it unpleas-,
antly in the back. MATE LEROY.

The Decline or Man.

There seems to be some uncertainty as
to the size of our great mother. The
French orientalist, 'Henrion, member Of
the academy, however, fixed it with a
precision satisfactory at least to him
self. He gives the following table Of
the relative heights of several eminent
historical personages:
Adam was precisely 1873 feet inches
high.
Eve was precisely 1l8 feet 10 inches
high.
Noah was precisely l03 feet high.
Abraham was precisely % feet high.
M ses was precisely 10 feet high.
HI tcules was precisely feet high.
Alexander was precisely feet high.
julius Caesar was precisely 3 feet

SAUCE FOR THE TURKEY
A Million Bushels Of Cranberries
Now Being Harvested.
LIVELY TIMES ON CAPE COD.

THE Rapid Growth OF Cranberry Culture.
How the Fruit Has Been Introduced In
PARKWAY Markets-some Details Of the
Business.
Ho, for the bird and the berryl The
Rhode Island turkeys are being fatten-
ed and the Cape Cod folks are picking
cranberries. haven't heard the latest
turkey statistics, but we are assured
that the cranberry yield is big one. So
let Thanksgiving come along, for at
least one essential of the trimmings"
thereof is assured.
Just now the picking of the piquant,
scarlet berries of the bog is at its height.
It will not do to leave the fruit on the
vines much after the last of October,
and besides the berries must be distrib-
uted TO distant markets in good time for
the great fall holiday. Perhaps you do
not realize what an appetite we have
for cranberries Well, we raise over
1000, 900 bushels each year and con.
whole yield should be made into pies,
there would be a pie apiece for every
inhabitant of the Union and few mil
lions TO distribute among our Canadian
neighbors.
Cranberry culture is one of those in
dustries which has had a phenomenal
growth within the last decade or so.
There was a time when only New Eng
landers appreciated cranberrics, and
they got their liking for them from the
pilgrim fathers, who in turn learned
from the Indians that the little red
swamp berries which ripened late were
"goode to eat as we'll as fair to see,
1t was not until about 1885 that any
attention was given to the cultivation
Of cranberries. Before that they were
gathered from the vines which grew
wild in many places along the Atlantic
coast. The New Englanders found such
big demand for the few berries which
were gathered in this haphazard man
ner that they began their systematic
cultivation. A few years later the shore
dwellers in southern New Jersey learned
Of this bit Of Yankee enterprise and be-
gan to initiate it. Later still a wanderer
from New England tried the experiment
in Wisconsin, where he planted some
cranberry vines in sandy marsh along
the lake shore. He was successful, and
many others tried it,
Along in the sixties the New England
and New Jersey farmers recognized that
the cranberry crop was most profitable

HOW TO FIND OUT

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty.fo four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive

Stole from the Treasury.

The silver vaults of the United
States treasury have been robbed OF
large number of silver dollars.
When the official count of the cash on
hand in the treasury was commenced
at the time Treasurer Morgan took
charge, the silver dollars in the vaults
were being counted by weight, as is
usually done. This work had not
gone far, however, when it was found
that two bags were under weight. The
money in these bags was counted
and it was discovered that an aggre-
gate of $25 had been taken out and
pieces of lead had been put in to make
the weight.
Thomas Martin, colored man, who
has been employed in the treasury as
laborer for many years, and who as
sisted in the count by passing the bags
out of the vault, was arrested and con-
fessed to the theft, but persisted that
he had taken money only from two
bags. Mr.. Roberts determined to have
the silver counted dollar for dollar and
large force of clerks was detailed for
the work. The count has been in
progress more than three months, and
it will take five or six months more to
finish the hundreds of millions of sill
yer dollars on hand, As the count
mas progressed several short bags have
been found. AS a rule only few
dollars have been taken from bag
and lead had been substituted to make
up the weight. The total shOrtness
thus far is about 81 1000.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed when the languid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of
a tonic and alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache,
Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness
yield to Electric Bitters. SOC. and

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The result of the election in the sew
eral States on Tuesday was not by any
means the landslide Of a year ago. The
Democrats made gains everywhere
We give below summary of the result:
Maryland The Republicans elect
ed Phillips Lee Goldsborough for comp
troller of the treasury by plurality
of 1922, and Allen Rutherford clerk
of the court of appeals by plurality
of 1892. The Republicans will con-
troll the Legislature by a majority Of
seven or eight on joint ballot, thus in
surfing Republican successor to SEN
ator A. P. German in the United
States Senate. Master, Republican,
defeated Williams, Democrat, for may
or of Baltimore by plurality of $3.50.
New York The Republican major
ity of last year Is reversed and Judge
Alton B. Parker, Democrat, is elected
chief judge Of the court Of appeals by
$4,000 majority. Judge Robert A.
Van Wyck, Tammany's candidate for
mayor of New York city, is elected by
large plurality. He got $4,000
votes; Tracy, Republican, 100000;
Seth Low, Citizens Union, 100000;
young Henry George, who took his
fathers place as a candidate, 10000.
The indications are that the Democrats
will control the Legislature.
Ohio: Bushnell is elected Governor
by a plurality of about $4,000. The
Republicans claim the Legislature by
majority of two or three on joint bal
lot, but the Democrats do not concede
this. Charges of fraud are made,and IN
vestigation of the returns may cause de
Law. Mark Hanna, candidate for the
United States Senate, may not win the
prize after all, as there is movement
to name some other Republican who
will be more acceptable.
Virginia: The Democrats swept Vir-
GINA by a majority of probably co.
900. J. Hoge Tyler is elected Gov
ernor, Edward Echols lieutenant-gov-
ernor and A. J. Montague attorney
general. Both branches Of the Legis-
lature will be largely Democratic and
Senator Daniel will be reelected to
the U. S. Senate,
Kentucky: Heavy Democratic gains
are shown from every part of the State,
and Shackleford, Democrat, is elected
clerk of the court of appeals. Louis
vile elects a Democratic mayor. At
Frankfort there was a bloody fight be-
tween Democratic and Republican pol
iticians, in which four men were shot
and killed and several wounded.
Pennsylvania: The Republicans
elected Beacon State treasurer and
McCauley encouragement by the usu-
al majorities.
New Jersey The Democrats made
great gains, but the Republicans will
control the Legislature by small ma
jorlty.
Nebraska: The fusionists defeat the
Republicans by pluralities ranging
from 10000 to 25,O00-a greater VIC
tory than last year.
Massachusetts,: Roger Wolcott has
been reelected Governor by plural
ity of about $4,000, a little more than
half as much as he received last year.
Iowa: Shaw is elected Governor by
greatly reduced plurality. The
Democrats concede 5000, the Repub-
licans claim more.
Washington county, Nd, went DEM
ocratic by majorities ranging from 100
to &C. The only Republican elected
was Bomberger, who defeated Bell for
the Legislature, Frederick county
went Republican by about 400 MAORI
