Capes.


Do you want a cape, ermine lined?
Then listen!
1t is a tale of deception and fraud,
but pretty one.
Once upon time there was a New
York woman, just home from Paris,
where she had seen many pretty cos
tunes. The opera season had opened
and all her set, and those that were
not of her set, were brilliant with
magnificent gowns, handsomely cloak
ed with the most exquisite and gor-
geous of warps.
She wanted an opera cloak, not the
simple little cloak of cloth lined with
taffeta and bordered with band Of
rough cloth, but cloak which should
be luxurious, splendid, a thing of more
than beauty and joy to its owner for
ever 1t would cost $500. The woman
could speak accurately of the amount,
for she had priced these cloaks. So,
what did she do? Did she sit down
and repine over the $50 which she had
at her command for such a cloak, or
did she resolve to be up and doing?
Surely the latter!
For evening many are the possibili-
ties in black. There are the white
toilettes, set of by black velvet shout

shades. she can always produce agree
able combinations; any skirt can be
worn with any waist; and any yoke
goes we'll with any belt. That is the
value of the "three-color scheme" as
artistic modistes call it.
But better than all is the woman in
black. She is absolutely irreproach-
able in her selections at all times and
pretty sure to be elegant.
A morning robe of black taffeta, satin
faced and agreeable to the eye and
hand, yet not costing very much, is ad.
mirable for breakfast and afterward.
One can, If one is very dainty, wear
white house slippers. for they can do
duty in the house for season without
soiling. Let the robe be cut as Prin-
cess, open up the front and slashed to
the very neck. Border it around its
entire edge with satin-faced cloth.
Band the sleeves with the same trim
ming. Make a yoke of white tulle,
with bands of black satin around the
throat, and finish yoke and throat with
ruff1es of chiffon. Give the wrists the
same finish.
For the note of color, If you desire
one, let there be a petticoat of emerald
green satin, covered with ruffies- of
plain black tulle. This dress is not so
extravagant. The taffeta can be pur-
chased very cheaply and the trimming
costs almost nothing. AS for the petit
coat, well, any woman will manufac-
ture satin petticoat for the house
rufies. When done, it will catch and
hold the eye and heart of the home
man.
New Modes.
The ways of skirts are past finding
out. A few days ago they were box
plated; indeed. they are still seen in
that fashion. But now you catch them
creeping up over the bodice and form
ing the belt and even the vest.
A beautiful tunic skirt-for this is
chapter in black-was of black NOUS
selaine de sole made over skirt of
white taffeta. Around the foot there
was a very thick double, though mar
row, ruching of black taffeta. The
mousselaine de sole formed the skirt
and vest as high as the yoke. 1t was
trimmed with the narrowest ruffles
of the same material. each ruffle edged
with white satin baby" ribbon. The
sleeves were very up-to-date in hav-
ing the coat sleeve of white taffeta
trimmed with narrow ruffles of NOUS
selaine de sole. each one edged with
it's baby ribbon; and at the shoulder
there was an immense puff of white
satin striped with black satin ribbon.
Visitors to Mrs. Deweys New Year
reception will not soon forget her
string of pearls. Lace, evenly matched
creamy white, and suggestive, they set
off that wonderful gown Of black and
white in most marvellous way. Whole
necklaces of real pearls are expensive,
but there come mock pearls which an
swer the purpose well. They are not
the manufactured wax pearl beads
which can be bought in yard strings
for song.
Three yards make very good
string" let the pearls be all of a size
or the string will not be a success.

Montreal was set up by Benjamin
franklin In 1"75. in order to print
nianifestoes appealing to the Cana

in operation, and was removed to the
United States, but the vault in which
1t was set up is still standing 1t Is in

building whose history Is contempo-
rary with that of the city, and which
Is carefully preserved as a relic of the

Canada in the confederation, and he
wished to include Ireland as well. His

The banana is said to have "a times
the nutritive value Of the potato and
25 times that Of bread. In the West
Indies the natives cut the fruit into
strips called pegs" dry these in the
sun and grind them into -four, out Of
which many excellent dishes are made.
No cheaper food grows In the tropics.
The plant begins bearing ii months
after being planted. 1t requires no
cultivation and produces harvests un-
interruptedly for II years. A few feet
of ground nourlshes n plant, and the
space Of dooryard will grow plants
enough to maintain large family.

A Seven. Year Comparison Of Varieties
of Wheat,

About sixty differently named
sorts of wheat are annually grown
in comparative test at the Ohio
Experiment Station. In this test
the different varieties are grown
on plots of one-tenth acre, the plots
being arranged 30 that a standard
variety, Penquite's Velvet Chaff,
appears on every third plot in the
series, and in computing the re-
suits the yield of given variety is
compared with that of the two
plots of Velvet Chaff between
which it grew.
The treatment of the crop is as
nearly uniform for all the varieties
as possible. The land was selected
in the first place for its apparent
uniformity; tile drain is laid at
one side of every plot; the plowing
is done across the plots; all are
manured alike with barnyard
manure, distributed by manure
spreader, which also is driven
across the plots, thus giving no op-
pUrtunity for differences in time of
plowing or manner of manuring to
effect the yield, and the greatest
possible care is taken in seeding,
harvesting and threshlng
Below are the general results of
this test for the seven years, 1898
to 1899, inclusive.
The following sorts have exceed.
ed the Velvet Chaff In yield:
Poole and Mealy by an average of
more than four bushels per acre
each; Red Russian by nearly four
bushels; Niger, Early Ripe, Cur
rell's Prolific, Gypsy, and Egyptian
by two to three bushels; Mediter-
ranean, New Monarch and Demo-
crat by one to two bushels, and
Bearded Monarch, Valley, Deitz,
Lebanon and Hickman by less than
one bushel each.
OF the sorts which have fallen
below Velvet Chaff in average
yield are Jones'-Winter Fife, which
has averaged more than three
bushels less; Thesis and Silver
Chaff, between two and three
bushels less; Royal Australian Cor
Clawson), Early Red Clawson, Yell
low Gypsy, Missouri Blue Stem,
New Longberry, Lehigh and
Martins Amber between one and
two bushels less, and Fulcaster,
Hindostan and Early White Lead
er, whose average yield has been
less than a bushel below that of
Velvet Chah.
These tests have been made on a
rather thin, somewhat sandy clay.
On gravelly looms the Valley has
made relatively larger yield than
that quoted above.
No variety has proved exempt
from attack by the Hessian fly, but
Mealy Mediterranean, Fulcaster
and Clawson seem to suffer less
from the fall attact of this insect
than most other sorts.
The Ohio Station has never sue
ceeded In growing spring wheat.

Heartburn.

When the quan ity of food d
taken Is too large or the quality too
rich heartburn is likely to follow,
and especially so If the digestion
has been weakened by constipation.
Eat slowly and not too freely of
easily digested food. Masticate the
food thoroughly. Let six hours
elapse between meals and when you
feel fullness and weight In the re-
gion of the stomach after eating, in
dicating that you have eaten too
much, take one of Chamberlain g
Stomach and Liver Tablets and the
heartburn may be avoided. For

Science has come to the conclusion
that scurvy is caused by the impover-

IN turn, is caused by poor food, and
especially by tainted meat. 1t used to

by the want Of fresh vegetables or lime
