Trib is the liniment of the century.*

made from 81 yards of serge, a yard:
of linenette, yards of horsehair can
vas and from to Az yards of plating,
according to the pattern used. For coun.
try or seaside wear little coat is mos
useful with this skirt, as it can be worn
ON cool days; also fo= excursions, where
the blouse alone is insufficient
For those who prefer the close fitting
type a stylish model is suggested hav-
ing few seams and easily made. The
center Of the back is entire, and there
is only a single rounded side piece on
either side, and the fronts have one
dart There is seam in the center
front, and it is advisable TO secure the
coat with few hooks here and then
fasten across with buttons and button
holes to the left side
The revers can be cut in three parts,
scanned up and laid fiat and stiffened
with canvas and then put ON the coat
in one length, which is a most simple
plan and requires no particular skill.
Canvas must also be laid in the fronts
to keep them fat and to hold the but
tons and buttonholes. Close tailor shap-
ed sleeves are fitted to this coat, the lin
ing made separately and put in with
seams inward and only attached at
armhole and wrist. This is charming
coat for a good figure, and various
chemisettes and fronts may be worn to
vary the coloring
A quarter of yard of velvet or silk,
cut on the cross, one dozen medium
sized buttons and half dozen small
and IL yards of serge will be ample
for this coat, and two yards of ordinary
dress lining and half yard of canvas
will complete the extras
Another form in which a short addi-
tional length of serge will make use
full costume is a coat which can be car
ried out in several ways. The model un-
der description is finished with quar-.
ter inch tubular braid, laid fat and well
pressed, or the serge can be we'll pressed
and finished with two rows of machine
stitching
i Or smarter still would be a single
row of quarter inch braid laid fiat OF
the edge, and a second row going al
most close, and turning out in trefoil
arrangements at the corners of the
basque and ON the collar, cuffs and in
the center of back of basque. These are
most simple and add greatly to the
effect, and the coat can be worn over a
cotton skirt, with tie, or over a. smart
sleeveless vest of silk, pouched, and
trimmed with lace, and with the skirt
would make an ideal costume for knock
about wear Two yards of serge, AZ
yards of silk lining and dozen yards
of braid will copy the former or two
dozen yards of braid for the trefoil ar

Cycling Gossip.

An eminent physician has been giving
his opinion upon the most suitable diet
airy for cyclists. He is reported in the
New York Tribune as saying: "No nj
trogeneous food should be partaken of
during violent exercise Indeed, it is
quite useless to eat, but it is beneficial
10 drink in order to replace the weight
lost by perspiration.
Tea and milk are among the best
liquids to take during long run. Fruit,
100, is exceedingly good, and wheelwo-
men who are starting upon tours or who
take all day runs will find themselves
and their digestions greatly benefited by
following this advice.
No greater mistake can be made than
10 partake of an extensive meat lunch
con when an hour only or possibly less
is allowed for the midday halt Instead
of preparing the consumer for the after
noon run, its effects are quite the reverse.
Among the many eccentric ideas pos
sessed by the emperor of Germany is
his disapproval of women who cycle.
He is said TO be the only sovereign in
Europe who does object to this exercise
for his fair subjects.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

The fact that the city collector has
collected already half million of dol
lars should be an encouraging sign
that our city is still sound financially
What in the world are we getting
for all this money? asks a good citi-
zen. And it does hit us rather queer
that our people are paying out a heap
of money for city government.
The most extravagant feature of the
whole business is the assessed value
of property. San Antonio real estate
with possibly the exception of Main
street and plaza property is greater
than the market will stand.
The rate of taxation could be born
but the rate of the assessment is just
bringing our real estate under eonfis-
cation.
We have several private corporations
that enjoy valuable franchises from
the city without having given one cent
for these franchises.
The right to use the street, to lay
water pipes, to operate railroads, tele-
phone companies, is the most valuable
property possessed by these corpora
lions.
The city of Philadelphia collects from
it's railroad companies over 100000 an
nually for the franchises. Other cit
les collect revenue from telephone and
other poles.
1t is about time these private corpor-
ations contributed literally to the
support of the city government that
makes their worth and has been so
lavish in granting franchises
If the private corporations that oc-
cupy the streets and make our people
pay the interest upon the bonds and
furnish their dividends were compelled
to pay a fair amount for their yalu-
able franchises, real estate and home
stead owners would not be compelled
to bear so heavy a burden.

OLD peolpe who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will

Clear and Pretty Preserves.

Clear, attractive preserves of peaches,
pears, plums or apples are most surely
made by first preparing clarified strip
and then cooking in this few pieces Of
the fruit at a time, carefully lifting
each piece out Of the strip the instant it
is done. In this manner the form of
the fruit is not only preserved, but
much of its flavor and freshness is re-
tanned.
Sirup may be made by allowing q
pint Of water to pounds of sugar
Put into porcelain saucepan over the
FIRE and before the strip becomes hot
mix well into it the partly beaten white
of an egg When it begins to boil, re.
move the scum as it rises. Watch il
constantly that it does not boil over an6
continue to boil it until no more scum
rises. While this strip is gently boiling
drop in a few pieces of fruit at time
leaving these in until they become soft
When done, take them out Of the strip
place in jars standing in hot water in
pan on the stove, fill mp with the no
sirup and seal

light colored satins are employed for the
ornamental fronts, which give such a
dressy appearance to many coats and
skirts.
The so called new style of trimming
for dresses, consisting of braiding in
silk cord, is in point of fact a very old
fashion revived. When silk cord is
used, this style of trimming is employed
on fall dress gowns in conjunction with
lace and chiffon. In this connection it
may be told that braiding is more to
the fore than any other class of trim
ming. 1t has much to recommend it,
The bonnet of the coming season, we
are assured, will have bell crown and
be trimmed about the brim with lace or
embroidery, displaying erect plumes of
feathers on one side and bows on the
other. Mauve and pink is a most popu-
lar mixture. Glace silk is now prom
inent feature in millinery, employed as
bows, especially in white and black
combined.
Hats and toques alike display in
Vulnerable tuckings of chiffon, and
quite a new treatment Of these same
tuckings, for they cover brims that
turn up, and they are formed into loops
and bows and handsome side trimmings.
The useful and convenient cape is in
cluded among the first importations of
autumn garments for outdoor wear. A
model seen was longer than of yore and
fuller. The outstanding collar is cut in
one with the rest of the cape. The
lining is of silk The trimming con-
sists of a simple braided border. An
other new wrap is a sort of sack coat
with wing sleeves in cloth. This admits
of smart trimming. The sack coat made
extremely short has the merit Of not
completely covering the figure or Civ
ing dowdy appearance.
The demand for boleros continues,
and eton coats remain in favor Goats

Items In Millinery-A Charming Little

The accessories for costumes, sold sep
arately, have never perhaps been in
greater demand than during the present
season. Theseinclude all kinds and con-
ditions of rufus, collars, lapels, chemi-
settles, wristbands, corsage fronts, etc.
In the making of these are employed
tulle, chiffon, lace, insertion and rib
bons. A Partisan touch is easily and
cheaply given to the plainest of piqpe
or linen coat and skirt suits by the wear
ing of corsage front of mousseline de
sole or little tulle vest Simple dress
bodices are quickly transformed into
elaborate affairs with the addition of a
lace bolero or lace and ribbon neck
ruff and front. Especially attractive are
the chiffon vests with horizontal rows
of lace insertion starting from a round

at the neck and the mitered belt at the
waist. The collars in all these models
are high, though often divided iptr
