win or without the Double Cape,
| No. 1910.
(Hints by May Manton.)
There has been such a decided
preference for half tight or box
ulsters and long coats during the
winter that the three-quarter
lengths in lighter material are as
sured popularity for the coming
season. These effects are partlcu-
larly becoming to girlish figures.
AS illustrated, this fashionable
coat is made of biscuit-colored
broadcloth, lined throughout with
turquoise silk. The back is shap-
ed with curved side seams which
are opened fiat and machine stitch
ed on each edge.
The double breasted fronts close
high at the neck and are fastened
with large pearl buttons. Openings
to convenient pockets are covered
with shaped laps.
The high flaring collar is COM
fortably closed at the neck with
pointed strap. Fashionable two
piece sleeves without fullness at the
top are finished in strictly tailor
style with machine stitched bands;
the front collar, capes and lower
edges being similarly trimmed.
The short double capes give
stylish effect to the garment. They
may, however, be omitted and the
garment made plain as illustrated
in small sketch.
Coats in this style may be de-
veloped in melton, chcviot or tweed
and lined through with silk or
satin. Double-faced cloth would
also be appropriate.
To make the coat for girl IA
years will require two and one
quarter yards of tifty-four inch ma
terial. The pattern, No. 1916. is
cut in sizes for misses II, IA and 10
years.
This pattern can be secured by
filling in the blank below and send
ing it to REPUBLICAN office with the
price.

A Mammoth BIRD Cage.

The new Geological Park in New
York rejoices in the completion Of the
great flying cage or aviary which is the
finest bird house in the world. Its cost
Is $4,000. 1t is a colossal gothic arch
of steel pipe and wire netting. $50 feet
long, rs feet wide, and IS feet high, and
is the largest thing OF its kind ever
constructed. To all appearances. it
stands low down upon ground that has
never been disturbed. There is no shed
or roof Of any kind nearer to 1t than
the bird house. and the openness OF the
enclosure is perfect. The top OF the
arch is so high one scarcely notices the
open wire netting which covers IT.
About seventy-five large water birds
have been set free in the big inclosure.
The egrets Immediately rose on the
wing and circled about in the top of
the cage forty feet or more above tia
earth. The cormorants shot into the
water. and for two hours or more dived
and swan and fopped on the surface in
a perfect abandon of delight The
great blue herons and the fiamingoes

Accidents have occasionally been
caused by animals. Here. however, ara
some striking instance in which catas-
trophies have been prevented and lives
spared by the action of faithful anil
mails.
In New York, about two years ago.
the little three-year-old daughter of
merchant was left by her nurse near
an open window three stories high
Through this window she crept, and.
would have fallen on to the pavement
below but for the Intervention of de-
voted dog, who seized her dress in his
teeth and held her tightly until aid ar
rived
During the autumn of last year a
Bristol family were saved from an aw-
full death through the action OF a faith
full cat In the early hours of the
memorable morning In question the
master OF the house was awakened by
the cats paw gently patting his cheek
He pushed the animal away, but pussy
persisted with her odd alarm. until the
gentleman rose. Then he discovered
that the house wac on fire and the in
timation came only just in time to en-
able him and his family to effect their
hurried escape from the fiery doom.
The exodus of a colony of rats from
a certain ship in dock led an observant
captain to have his vessel overhauled.
when 1t was discovered that the ships
bottom had sustained an injury, which
must have resulted in her laundering
at sea had not the accident been indi-
rectly averted by the action of the
alarmed rodents
The shrill screaming of a pet parrot,
one winters morning, awakened fam
lily in Holland in the nick OF time To
save them from the threatening food
which was sweeping down their street
from a dam which bad burst in tbs
town above them.
From another disastrous flood in In
| dia, some years ago, the broad back o.
an elephant offered ample sanctuary tt
an imperiled family. The animal heard
his masters call and came through the
rising waters to the open window
where the family were assembled
From thence the devoted elephant con
yeyed his precious burden to place o
safety.
