WRAPS FOR AUTUMN.
Comfortable and Graceful CloHxs That Are Capital for Couu-
 try Wear.

There is a delightfully."- graceful au- tumn wrap in plaid material, gray and fawn, with a streak of yellow, to be made something like a mans even-
 ing cape without d collar, says the New York Evening Posts fashion authority.
 The cloak will hang from the shoulders ill multitude of natural plaits, formed by the ingenious cut and not by the aid of stitching or folds in the cloth. This cloak was launched at the lend of the Paris season at well-known dinner party given in the Bois, and it's
 success was so great q surprise in the white cloth that it is no surprising matter that it iS to be repeated in darker coloringS.
 Long, miIitary-looking overcoats of
 checks, plaids and rough, hairy Oxford mixtures are shown by the tailors among their autumn novelties. The more checked and plaided the more Fashionable, as these coats are q pure ly British institution intended for wear
 in Scotland at this season of the year. If they are worn at Westbury and at LenoN. they are just as comfortable, cozy and warm as if worn in the High- lands, and they come in very handy for lautOmObiling
 A rather showy and distinctly big check consisting of an introduction of green, brown or blue on rough
 ground spIashed with white, or on
 one of heather mixture, seems most popular of all. Big. smooth, round silver or gold military buttons are ad-
 vancing steadily into favor. As to the
 collar. it may be anything, always pro-
 vided it is in a genre militaire, which is sine qua non. Some of them are of the "stand-up" persuasion, lined with vel- vet of harmonious or contrasting shade, and others are rolled over in neglige fashion One of the smartest things shown latelywas an all-envelop- ing rough black and white check coat fastened sharply across to one side and | carrying out the idea of the double
 breasted Prussian military coat to per- lection. There was a turnover collar, with, of course, no revers; in coats of | this kind of reyers seem to be just lit- tie out of fashion, very possibly for | the reason that when aut mobiling the one idea is to keep the enemy, dust" at bay, and one which fastens
 securely to the throat is far better cal-
 culated to achieve this object than one
 which opens out. Dark blue serge is
 also employed for these coats; 8
 touch of scarlet or red with silver or
 gilt buttons are happy additions, and
 just now plain white tweed coats are
 considered very smart indeed by the
 riding and driving women. The collar
 and the shoulder cape of the new
 gowns are their most conspcuous fea- 1 ture

How tO He Truly Cha rmi iE E.

The art of being charming must have it's rise in the soul, but can be largely cultivated and greatly aided by atten- tion to small things; the kind word at the right moment, withheld eXpres. sions of sympathy at the proper time, and tact and patience in all things. lf-control is an admirable weapon, and she who uses it will always be the woman who rules in a broad domain
 She proves her strength, and in the hour of trial she bears up not only fon herself,'' butt for all around her writes a correspondent of the Boston Post. So the charming woman may or may not read Maeterlinck and Bal zac, but she must be bright and spon- taneous. A sulky nature seldom proves responsive, and creates an atmosphere to be summed rather than courted.

TUMBLED INTO FORTUNE.
Old Irish Woman Ragpicker Becomes an Heiress by the Death of
 a Cousin.

It is doubtful if fortune ever tum- ly to use it to advantage than the $3O0,- GOO which the United States supreme court recently awarded to 65-year-old Hannah Callaghan, of Cork, as her share in the estate of her cousin, John Sullivan, who died in Seattle, Wash.
 From the accompanying picture of Hannah Callaghan you can form a pretty accurate idea of what sort of person she is. Wrinkled, haggard, with a narrow, pointed nose, thin lips, a bitter tongue and an aggressive dis position, the woman who has just in- herited $30O,00O earned her living un- til few days ago as ragpicker. For years she has made her home in a squalid little room in a narrow alley appropriately named Crone's lane, in Cork's worst slum. She began life as crochet worker, and once earned as much as $5 a week. Then she got to be a scrub woman and made less, and of late years she has collected bones, sold fruit and generally lived from hand to mouth. She has been somewhat par tial to gin. When the news reached Hannah Callaghan the other day that she had inherited half of John Sulli- vans fortune-Edward Corcoran, a poor Dublin artisan got the other half
 the old woman was so bewildered that she could hardly realize what it meant to her. She heard that her cousin had died intestate, but had thought so little of her own chances of getting a share of his estate that when American lawyers came to her several months ago and offered to push her claim she made no trouble over signing an agreement that they should take half of any sum they succeeded in getting awarded to her. This does not mean, however, that the old woman was feeced by her American attorneys. For six months they have worked like beavers to get her inheritance, and the endless trouble they took and the ingenuity they manifested certainly entitle

Hon. David Meel1ison is well known not only in his own State, but through out America. He was elected to the Fifty-ffth Congress by very large ma jority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the State.
 Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising states man. Catarrh with its insidious ap- proach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue. He writes:
 "I have used several bottles Of Pe- runa and ' feel greatly benefifed fhere- by from my catarrh of fhe head. I feel encouraged to believe that If 7 use It q short time longer wiIIbe fully able 10 eradicate fhe diseas of thirty years standing" "-David Meekison, Member of Congress-.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- sactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

Goose Decided the Suit

Mrs. Ann Mcdonald, of Pittston, Pa, accused Butcher Max Connors of stealing a goose belonging to her. The latter denied the charge and said he had purchased it from farmer. It was question of veracity be- tween the two, and Alderman Loftus decided to let the goose make the de- cision. Accordingly, Constable Jo- seph White was told to take the bird to the vicinity of Mrs. McDonald's home. If the goose recognized the place and entered the property it was her goose. As soon as released the goose turned from Mrs. McDon- aids door and flew up the street in the direction of Connors' store. He got the decision.

Elevate the Kitchen Range.

When my hired girl left and l had to do my kitchen work again, was taken with my old trouble, backache, says 8 housekeeper. Acting on a suggestion in Good Housekeeping, I had the cook stove elevated about three inches, by putting blocks under the legs. This abolished the stepping position, and led me to apply the same reform to the sink. The result in ease and com- fort of work was almost miraculous. Since then l have investigated these little points in Is different kitchens, and in IA found both sink and stove just enough too low to require an ugly stoop in all except undersized women. The moral is obvious.

passions can be traced to our mean est instincts, and the fine names we have invented for successful selfish ness mean no more in reality than the base ones which we contempt uously bestow on the selfshness which fails.''
 Ut is often held that it is better to have trouble in ones youth than in ones middle age; the fresh heart it is thought, is stronger to bear grief. But this is not the case. ; fresh heart is also an immature one: it is tender, impressionable, unsea. soned, altogether too delicate fol hard blows. No sorrow is so bitter, because it is so little expected, or SC unmitigated, because it is so little understood, as the sorrow in young mind. The world at once seems squalid, Providence unjust and when the sense of suffering injustice begins to dominate a soul at it's first flight the wings grow heavy, the way looks dark with unknown terrors and the ultimate goal is considered as some probab ble mockery, cruel and deso- late"

 "One hears that religion once was able to invest even hypocrisy with T kind of grandeur. Hypocrisy, how ever, is slowly dying out, and the candor of modern souls would be sublime if the souls themselves were not for the greater part squalid."
 "These practical, hard headed Americans are greatly attracted al ways by the feminine soul and mind. They like to know what womei, think, how they feel; they are in. spired by their ideas; but in England, if you speak of a woman's soul to q man, he supposes you must be either | mad or affected.

John Sullivan, the builder of the fortune which Cor coran and Hannah Callaghan have in herited, was born in the same Cork slum in which the old rag and bone picker has lived so long. He became a sailor and finally was shipwrecked on the coast of the state of Wash ington. He built himself a cabin and afterward a second one, which he rented to man who happened along. Finally he had whole village of shanties which he owned, but just as it was beginning to bring him in little something in the way of rent the whole settlement burned down.
 Sullivan still owned the land, how ever, and he rebuilt upon it and eventually, as one of the founders of Seattle, grew rich.-Chicago Chron- icle
