The Long Ulster.

A little later on and we will be criti,
cising the usefulness and beauty OF
the long-skirted ulster that fits the
body close and has a tride of fullness
in the rear, where q strap spans the
base of the spine and is gloritied by
large silver buckle. Long cloth ulsters
in the colder weather will be used with
capelets of BEARS fur that are short on
the shoulders, high in the collar, but
almost reaching the feet in front in
two stole ends. The opera mantles,
so far as they have allowed their
charms to be viewed, are beautiful in
the extreme. They are long, of course,

The Everyday Gown.

The shops are filled with the now
dress goods, and what to buy and low
to have it made is the absorbing topic
with the sunbrown shoppers.
For the everyday gown which must
stand hard wear, such as is illustrated
in the large engraving, the reversible
Harris tweeds are highly recommend
ed. The best quality comes ffty-six
inches wide and costs S2.75 yard.
It is sold in all the new attractive
shades, with real Scottish clan plaid
ior the reverse side of the cloth. When
these double-faced tweeds are used
ior skirt and coat costume, no lining
is required AMI the lapels, cuffs and
collar of the coat are made of the plaid.
Camel's hair cheviot is extremely
fashionable this year. 1t can be found
IN dashing plaids, and in indistinct
plaids of mingled dull artistic colors.
Then there are attractive half-inch
check cheviots and these crossed with
harrow stripes. Graphite gray and

Unique Fishing Experience.

A we'll known Albany angler had a
unique experience last summer trout
fishing up in Canada. He was sent
cut from camp to catch o mess for sup
per. He was fishing with three flies
on single leader. At the first cast
his fly was taken by agood-sized trout
that leaped from the water to grab it.
He evidently got the leader on q
"slack" before the line was tightened
from the rod, as he snapped it off and
went swimming away with the two
flies and broken leader trailing be-
hind. Next day the angler revisited
the lake, and as he WAS looking over
the side of the boat he espied in ten
or fifteen feet of water the big trout
that had taken his leader the night
before. Acloser examination revealed
that his troutship was safely hitched
to the dead branch of tree which
had fallen into the water. In swim
ming about one of the two free hooks
on the leader had caughtin the branch
and that ended the nigrations OF the
trout still firmly hooked by the fly he
had grabbed.
Rowing ashore the angler stripped
and dove for his prize. He secured 1t
and piece of the branch, and to-day
has the stuffed trout with hook still in
his Jaw and the other hook imbedded
in the broken branch mounted as a
piscatorial study and souvenir of the
incident.-Albany IN. W Argus.

now. A green, or gray, or brown felt
with a bent-edge brim and a stiff
"bowler" crown seems to be the tri-
umphant one of many shapes and as
might be expected it has been desig'
mated patriotically by the name of Ad-
miral Dewey's flagship, the Olympia.
There is nothing nautical about the
"Olympia. It is wound about the
base of its brim with scarf of dark
liberty silk and this comes to loose
knot in front, in the folds of which the
quill ends of two long, soft composite
plumes are made fast. Of well-dyed
barnyard fowl feathers these plumes
are made, mottled white down the GEN.

droop softly t. one side. Into the lib
erty silk knot fancy strass pin is in
troduced. and this is happy contrast
to the unbecoming cowboyish headgear
that all womenkind that adopted it
during the summer should remember
with blush. A great many patronesses
of the Olympia wear the easy-ftting
hat on hair dressed low at the
back. of the head and strap of elastic,
not skewer pins, is used to keep the

Dewey's Bearing as q Boy.

A growing appetite was not sufficient
to make George Dewey chunky boy,
however, by any means. He was small
for his years and his activity kept him
thin. The figure that this little Yer
monter presented in those days is a
winsome one. as it is painted by those
who knew him. Dark eyes flashed
from brown, intelligent countenance
that was always beaming with good
nature and youthful plausibility. An
erect bearing and an air of command
we'll became him. 1T would seem that
he was always meditating a mischief
or an exploit of which he was himself
the centre figure and his chums his
faithful satellites. "He was a pomp-
Gus little fellow" one of his old COM
panions asserts. "His head was up
and he patronized us bit, and how
we liked it! I can see him now with
that bright eye, smile on his lips
and his hands in his pockets, coming
whistling along the street. His nature
was fun-loving, yet lovable. The boy
did some reckless things, but never a
mean one."-New York Mail and Ex-

Curious Facts Regarding Sunshine.

Statistics obtained by sunshine re
corders are interesting. Some curious
facts have been recently published by
the French Meteorological Bureau al
Paris. Spain has 5000 hours of sun
shine a year; Italy, 27OO; France
26OO; Germany has 100, while Eng
land has but 1400. The average fall
of rain in the latter country is greater
than that in any other European coun
try. In the northern part and on thu
high plateaus of Scotland about 35l
inches of rain fall year, and Londor
is said to have an average of ITS rainy
days in the year and fully ten times
the quantity of rain that falls on Paris

Robhv Wont to the Circus.

"Mamma," said Bobby the Other
day when he came home from school,
'shas irony anything to do with you?"
Nothing whatever, Bobby; irony
means that we mean the opposite OF
what we say"
Bobby thought moment, and con-
tinued:
81 don't love you justa cents worth,
mamma. Is that irony?"
81 suppose so,' replied his mother,
with a smile that she didn't attempt
to repress.
'Then," said Bobby, with an air OF
triumph, wasn't it irony when you
said, the day before yesterday, that
you wouldn't give one quarter to buy
a ticket for the circus to-day?"
Whether it was or not, he went to
the circus that afternoon.-Harper's

Beautiful Fan Made by Filipinos.

Beautiful Fan Made by F1lIpinos.
One scarcely thinks that the Fill
pinos are capable of dainty work, but
Miss Augusta Akmeyer, of st. Louis,
has received from Manila fan foi
which for beauty rivals anything of the
kind ever devised by the artistic
Japanese.
The fan is made to fold. The handle
and separating parts are made OF trail
ivory, daintily carved. Inserted into
the end of each is the feather of o
swan, at the end of which is the
gorgeous tip of a peacock feather,
altogether forming an attractively
beautiful blending of natural colors.
Perhaps the most beautiful piece oi
work in the construction of the faD
lies in the swan feathers. Woven into
these slender feathers are variegated
threads, forming fantastic figuring of
flowers, personages and leaves. In
the centre of the right side of the fan
is woven among the feathers picture
representing a man and a woman
picking fruit. Into this one picture
alone is introduced an amazing wool
of colors, varied as those of the rain
bow, causing one to marvel how such
a variety of threads could be woven
so intricately and with such perfect
pre- cision upon the slender swar
feathers. About these figures are
clustered vari-coiored flowers and
leaves, the latter being of pure
white silk, while the former ore made
of silks of many hues. Upon the re
verse side of the feathers are also in
Vulnerable woven flowers and leaves.
The work is evidently that of some
past master in the art.
