Most of the new models in capes thus
far shown are odd old-faShioned-lookln
garments long and fiat on the Shout
ders and faring out all around the low
er edge; some in circular shape and cut
almost without seams, or else the cape
has very long shawl points front and
back and is cut very short on the sides,
showing a good portion of the arms, Of
ten to above the elbow. The majority
of the collars are high-f1ar Medici or
Robespierre shapes, and a favorite fin
ish for these before even narrow bands
of fur are seasonable are pleated frllls
or ruches of fringed silk.
The handsome double-faced CASH
meres will find increasing favor and ad-
miration as the new weaves and rich
fall colorings are brought out. This
material is quite heavy enough for Win
ter wear, which single cashmere is not,
unless we'll lined and worn above warm
underskirts. The elegant VenetianS
and faced cloths make up into very
stylish tailor costumes, but unless of
the best quality, the surface guaranteed
to have been sponged, rain and other
spots show aggressively, as they do, in
fact, on most dressed materials. In
dia cashmere, being alike on both sides,
is an economical purchase in the end.
1t is eminently soft, and in black is
somewhat dull but this allwool varie-
ty is everlasting wear, and makes up
handsomely, no matter how simply
trimmed. Another variety of soft,
flexible India fabric is covered with fine
silky hairs, like an improved came's
hair, but many women object to it on
this account. French cashmere is a
very beautiful material, but its some
what lustrous surface, like many
weaves in silk, has the Objectionable
fault of becoming quickly glazed by
wear. Cleaners profess to remove this
oily-looking gloss, but very frequently
they do not succeed.
Black gowns of lovely transparent or
semi -diaphanous weaves over silk or
satin, and in heavier materials for day
wear will take high place in the ranks
of fashion for the two seasons before
US.
'Wilhelmina" jackets, hats, ties,
capes, and costumes are now appearing.
In the face of all the continued top
heaviness of fashionable headwear it

Agriculture in Yukon.

pamphlet was issued by the Direct
or of the Central Experimental Farm
at Ottawa not long ago on the agri-
cultural possibilities of the Yukon, the
most characteristic feature of which
was that the Yukon district seemed to
have no agricultural possibilities at all.
At one or two points attempts have
been made to grow vegetables, but with
limited success. Mr.. Harper, who re-
sided at Pelly since 1891, had a garden
in which he grew some very poor pota-
toes and other garden stuff. What sue
ceeded best was lettuce To protect
them at night when the sky was clear
and frost threatened, he lowered an i'm
mense awning over them, raising it in
the morning after the plants had re-
covered from the effects of the cold.
At Forty-mile they have several gar
dens in which they grow a very fair
potato, but it is not dry, and not at
all we'll tasting. They also grow good
lettuce and small cabbages, which is
very much relished, because it is the
only vegetable supply there. and at
present YOU cannot imoprt any. This
shows conclusively one need not count
ON anything in the way of agriculture
as food supply, for two reasons, the ex-
tent of available soil is very limited in
comparison with the rest of the coun-
try, and it might be said frosts occur
every month in the year. Close to the
river the temperature of the water
from June to September runs from
about 46 to Sc or 5S degrees. OF course,
the proximity of large body of water
at those temperatures considerably
aids vegetable life and helps its de-
velopment close to the river, because
it moderates the adjacent temperatures.
But away from the river a mile or so
you have serious frosts every month
in the ear.-Geographical Journal.

For second Thought.

II ever, in the heat OF future politi-
cal excitements. any youthful citizen
OF our land should feel the temptation
to resort TO violence and appeal TO
arms. let such a one contemplate this
terrible picture OF the scene at the bat
tie of the Crater. near Petersburg. to-
ward the close OF the civil war, as de-
scribed by n confederate officer: After
the first moment of panic. following
the explosion of the mine. the southern
soldiers rallied and inflicted on the
advancing federals a severe and bloody
defeat. IL was as gallant a charge as
ever l saw. We recaptured all our
works. driving the enemy out OF the
vast crater formed by the explosion,
like a herd OF frantic buffaloes. Then
ensued such a scene as / hope never
to see again. The crater was filled
with a seething mass OF men. hund-
reds and thousands of them. some ir-
ing back upon us. all struggling Wild
ly to escape. Shattering volleys were
fired into the thronged abyss till Il
became a veritable slaughter pen. The
frantic mass heaved and struggled like
demons. Hand-grenades were hurled
down upon them. and as these explod-
ed. you could see heads and arms and
legs go up into the air. Our men
at length siekened OF the carnage and
stopped. The federals lost that day
more than four thousand men. They
left the crater choked with dead. No
attempt was made TIL long after to
take the bodies cut for burial. The
earth was thrown upon them where
they lay. covering the hideous sight
from the face OF heaven.

The profound impression produced
when two hundred and sixty sailors
perished with the warship Maine is
contrasted by a Chicago paper with
the apathy of the people over the an
nual loss of four thousand lives be-
cause of the contaminated water sup
ply of that city. This gives the Union
Signal occasion to call the attention of
the American public to the annual sac
rifice of a hundred thousand lives by
the use of more dangerous kinds of
drink. We may take a wider view STILL
In the whole United States. the num-
Der of deaths per annum is about eight
cen hundred thousand. According to
the estimate of physicians, more than
half, or nearly million, die from

One of the subjects of discus
sion at a recent banquet of the
Merchants club, Chicago, was the
proposition for the establishment
of a provident loan association to
advance money to needy small bor-
rowers at reasonable rates of interest.
The object of such a plan would be to
relieve from the grasp of usurious and
frequently dishonest pawnbrokers per-
sons in straitened circumstances who
are compelled to seek small loans on
personal security. An act of the legis-
lature is necessary to give proper au-
thority for the organization of an asso-
citation calculated to meet the needs of
the situation.

Costly Service.

| A recent compilation OF the statistics
of Protestant missions in our own and
other lands by Rev. DR.. E. E. Strong,
| of Boston, di5clo=es the fact Of money
| expenditure that may be startling to
some minds. The annual cost of the
the missions of the American bOaro Is
| 1896, 299. The total Income of the Brlt-
ISL Foreign Missionary and kindred
societies is SS,054 1876. Thirty three
| foreign missionary societies of the
1vangelical churches OF the United
States have a total income of So, $780,,
\6l1. Canadian fore gn missionary S
Jcieties receive $316.O45 The f re gn
mission work of the world costs an
nualiy $12 9SS,6S7. When it is seen
are received by these societies, all of
which are clamoring for more and
often updar a burden of debt to carry
on their present work, it seems a cost
ly service to try to evangelize the
world. Many would have it delay co
till times are easier or Till it can be
done at less cost. Bat it must be said
that all valuable work is costly.
