FOR DAMP CUPBoARDs.

Capes of plaid wool are seen in great
variety, not merely of color, but Of
style. They almost all have a hood of
one kind or another, hood which is
really practicable and may be drawn
over the head in case Of necessity. AS
for the decoration, that takes all sorts
of odd forms, and, While the shape of
capeS is, generally speaking. the same
THAT is, they all cling about the shoul
de-S and flare more or less toward the
edge-the finish differs greatly in differ
ent garments One will have circular
fiounce around the curved edge, an
other will nave revers with fringe and
large buttons. while a third, newer
than the others, will be cut so that it
slopes to shawl point at the back,
while around the shoulders are other
fringed points sewed on. The plaids
employed are often very bright and
are unlined, the reverse, which is plain,
serving for trimming.

experience with a London sparrow. He

Do your hearts climb up toward me,
As my own heart bends to you,
In the beauty of your dawnfnS
And the brightness of your dew?
When the fragrance of your faces
And the rhythm of your feet,
And the incense of your voices
Transform the Sullen street;
Do you see my soul move softly
Forever where you move,
With an eye of benediCtiOn
And a guardian hand of love?
o, my darlingl / am with you,
In your trouble. in your play,
In your sobbing. in your surging,
In your dark. and in your day:
In the chambers where you nestle,
In the novels where you lie,
In the sunlight where you blossom,
And the darkness where you die.
Not a blessing broOds above you.
But it lifts me from the ground;
Not a thist,e-bark doth sting you,
But ! suffer from the wound;
And chord within me- trembieS
To your brightest touch or tone,
And | farnish When you hunger,
And 1 SILVER when you moan.
Can you tell me. little children.
Why it is / love you so?
Why I'm weary with the burthenS
OF my sad and weary woe?

Spring blithely from one tree?
Yet | love you. o my darlings,
Have you any flowers for me?
/ have trodden all the spaces
OF my solemn years alone,
And have never felt the cooling
OF a babes breath near my own.
But with more than father passion,
And with more than mother pain,
l have loved you. little children,
Do you love me back again?

EVENING WRAPS.

The. woman possessed of good taste
tn dress will, no doubt, find in the fol-
lowing notes on new fashions, clipped
from the Boston Herald, a nice idea or
two:
For evening wear, the shawl-shaped
cape. very long and pointed behind,
shorter in front, and scant and sloping
Of shoulder, is still the correct thing,
and is, if anything, closer in its outlines
than on its first appearance last win
ter
Newer than these are the shawl
shaped coats, in every way like the
shawl cape except that they have
sleeves and some sort of an elaborate
shoulder collar. They are longer be-
hind than in front. and slightly curved
into the figure at the waiStline, al
though almost straight. This demi-'
redingOte, as the Parisians call it. is
evening wear, Of silk and embroidery
for afternoon, or of cloth for driving
and walking.
Two very dressy ones are lovely ex-
amples that viii be worn here in Bos-
ton this winter.
The first is of white satin, with a.
shaped flounce. very scant. set on to
give a slight ripple to the longer and
pointed back. This foundation is COW
cred with the straight, smooth breadths
of white English point lace shawl, the
edge of the lace coming to within four
inches of the edge Of the satin founda-
ton. which is finished simply with a
thick piping of white. The coat laps
over the front. and fastens down the
left side with rosettes of rose velvet.
and a shirred rose chiffon capuchin
hood about the shoulders has a turned
up border of pink velvet, covered with
an embroidery in which threads of sable
fur and motifs Of ivory lace are blend
ed. This hood also fastens in front on
the left side with a pink resette The
shirred chiffon choker is gathered
through jeweled slides at intervals. and
above it there is a flare of lace tipped
with a delicate edge of sable. The
rather big straight coat sleeves have a
bell-shaped flare at the hand which
turns back to form wide cuff. this
faced with embroidery like that on the
hood.
The second shawl-shaped coat is ex-
actly similar in shape, and is built of
longitudinal strips of black point Dies
prit and black Chantilly lace insertions
Joined with lines Of black velvet baby

A BEwITcHING TooUE.

A bewitching little toque, called La
Belle Annie, has attracted great atten-
ton. The foundation is of'aspen-green
velvet A sweeping arch of the brim
in front is broadly bound with ashes
of roses velvet veined by threads of
silver A huge rosette of crisp, snow

AN ALL ROUND HAT.

A delightfully."- pretty and becoming
hat is one designed for all times and
seasons, handsome enough for the the
atre, and yet so complete and simple
in style as to serve for shopping and
street wear as well. The frame is of
velvet, a rich marine blue, on which
rests a part of the crisp roll of silk
encircling the crown of velvet shirred
into a high coronet. A magnificent
rhinestone ornament holds two dash
ing quilts in place, directly above the
face while glowing color in the silk at
the back provides a pleasing decora-

AN AUTUMN HAT.

Nothing could be smarter than a
charming felt and silk hat for autumn
The rather wide and flexible brim is
faced with tucked pearl-colored silk;
it rolls high on the left side and against
the hair rests a cluster of velvet tulip
petals, pale lilac and yellow. Around
the crushed crown is draped a scarf of
soft black faille, the fringed ends of
which knot at the back and fall grace
fully to within an inch of the shoulders.
Heaped in effective masses on the CEN

PLAID CAPES.

Nothing is more in vogue this season
than silk, chiffon, satin or crepe bo-
dices, having the surface of the goods
closely covered by row after row of
gathered baby ribbon. In this manner
effective contrasts are arranged, and it
is even. successful in furnishing up an
old waist to look like new. The bodice
pictured here is a costly Importation of
black silk muslin over a silk founda-
ton, the ribbon satin-edged and very
decorative. 1t shows the inevitable re-
verses and full jabot, both conspicuous
features of this SEASONS STYLES

SHOULDER sCARFs.

Damp cupboards and rooms can be
made dry and airy by placing a basin Of
fresh lime where the moisture -pene-
trates to the detriment of food, linen,
etc. The lime quickly absorbs the un-
wholesome humidity and the remedy
need only be repeated every now Nld
then. In living rooms, which are not to
be depended upon as being as dry as
would be desirable, it is advisable to
place saucers containing salt under
sofas, etc This will absorb the mois-
ture in a wonderful manner. If thor
oughly dried, the salt can be used again
for the same PURPOSE.

in the winter. Wrap the cheese in
clean cloth and again brown paper and
lay it on the ice. Cheese preserved in.
this way does not become mouldy.
Toast is with good reason considered in
valids' food, for the process of toasting
turns part of the starch of the bread into
dextrine, which is digested with great
ease. Bread for toast must be cut thin
and first dried out st a little distance
from the fire, then brought nearer and
Drowned. You may then serve it as a
dry toast lightly buttered, or in addition
to the butter and little salt. pour hot
water or milk on it just before serving.

The new shoulder scarf, which is
made of the same material as the gown,
and edged around with a friil of lace
or of the goods, is exceedingly graceful,
and gives a Persian touch to toilet.

PARITY OF MONEY METALS.

For period Of seventy years, to.
wit. from 1903 to 1878, during which
thera were greater changes in the re!a-
tive production Ut the metals than dur
ing any lie period in their history, the
two metals, gold AID 81 YER, were
PRACTICAL, on parity with ,aa Other,
and duIing the whole OF that time
Is IL ounces of silver could exchange
for one ounce Of gold in all the mar
kets OF the world and this because the
minis of France were open to the un-
restricted coinage Of both metals upon
that ratio, and the coins struck from
them were unlimited legal tender
that is, they were equally endowed
with the money function. For many
centuries prior to 1878 both metals
were in the worlds money stock, and
their separation from each other was
30 gradual as not to practically iterfere
with their joint use as money metals.

hide behind the supreme court decis-

MONEY PLENTIFUL.

1t is true that money is plentiful il
the bank vaults. The banks of Topeks
have made public an agreement to dis.
continue paying interest on time de.
posts. Non-thinking writer's parade
the large surplus in the banks as re-
futation OF bimetallists' arguments; but
,he condition they boast of is net a
good one, and it is a direct result of
the goldbug policy. In an era of fall
ing prices business is improbable.
When your stock of goods depreciates
in value on your hands, failure is prob.
able. Consequently money stays out
OF business, lies idle in the banks, and
interest on time deposits is no longer
necessary to bring to the bankers more
money than they know what to do with.
We prefer the rising market Of former
good and cheap money days, when all
labor sas employed and every dollar |
was in demand for investment in pro-
ductive industry and business: Wei
shall see such times again. The peo-
pie will not always permit moneyed |
oligarchy to enact, interpret and exc
cute the laws. In the meantime worse
days are in store, and very soon.
When the trusts, made inevitable by
the business stagnation due to the
gold-standard policy, have driven all
the small fry out of the field and have
made 1t impossible for new enterprises
10 Start, there will be still greater
glut of money in the banks, a greater
scarcity of money in the pockets of the
masses, less wages and smaller chances
or employment. 1t is necessary ex-
and after it will come politi-
al changes.

SAND AS A DIET.
baltimore SUM-

According to French publication
"Science pour Tous." in many English
houses, "on the table by the side of the
pepper box and the salt box is placed
a sand box-a little receptacle filed
with very fine eand, as fine as -four
Which is sprinkled over all the food.
A medical journal has advised dyspep-
tics to n 'opt this remedy. The sand,
mingling with the alimentsay mass.
renders it less compac. an ! makes d.
gestion more easy. This has D.come
the fashion, and since the English have
begun to eat sand it is certain that
French snobs who initiate their neigh
bors across the channel like monkeys
will soon be devouring it. Besides,
gravel for digestive purposes for long
time" Discriminating readers will
take this sand story with many grains
OF salt. Whatever else the English
constitution may require, it does not
need sand. Everybody is supposed to
est peck of dit in the course of his
or her life, and unsuccessful politicians
frequently have to dine on crow, but
sand as daily diet is not likely to be-
come popular among Anglo-Saxons
Until they develop chicken craws and
chicken hearts, Of which there seems
ust now little indication.

GENERAL WARMERS FIGURES.

General A. j. Warner, who has
given almost undivided attention to
currency questions for many years, has
shown that the actual basis currency in
circulation has been contacted by sue
cessive acts OF the treasury to about
ons-tenth OF the amount in circulation
during the years Of greatest prospsrit' :.
It is claimed that the banks OF Eastern
cities are overAowing with currency for
which there is no demand. Tru,
Because tie conditions imposed by e
b nks on loans are such at only stock
gamblers and spectators in listed
securities can avail themssluss of Il GU
The South and West mnst do without
money and resort to barter in making
their exchanges. The gold standa,d is
disastrous experiment. Bimetallism
existed from the days of Abraham
down to 1873. Its restoration in the
United States would certainly re-estab-
lish the parity Of gold and silver.
France md Germany would immed-
lately follow suit. and England, with
her Indian provinces, would be COM
PEELED to do the same in order to pro-
tect her trade. Btmetallism would
take from the banker tho power to
create gold ceruers, contraction and
panies, and would, with an expanded
currency, restore permanent prices,
good wages and general prosperity.
