Fall coats are in order at the pres
ent time, and the styles for early au-
tumn are more charming, though
much in the same line as in the past
season or two. Long coats, and the
three-quarter lengths are, of course,
the proper thing for all outdoor pleas
ures, such as driving and automobile
ing. For either of these purposes the
one shown in the illustration, made of
navy blue cloth, piped with red, is es-
pecially well fitted.
One of the popular fall coating ma
terials is cravenette. 1t is compara-
lively thin material, with just suffi-
cient body to afford protection against
the autumn winds, and then ii is water
proof, and so a shelter against autumn
rains. And yet to all intents, pur-
poses and appearance is it merely a
coating. one that in experienced hands
is capable of being built, without re-
proach, into one or other of these con-
vincing loose coats which La Mode
has decreed we shall call stylish.
Those on holiday thoughts intent are
seriously advised to consider such a
wrap, which serves the double end of
a light warm wrap and also u water
proof.
One detail of the present about
which I have no shadow of doubt is
popularity of the short cape. This
cape has come to us gently, stealthily
but securely. presaged by the pelerine,
and is already we'll established in the
tailoring world, where it comes to take
the place of the ousted collar and re-

ever. are sure and unmistakable that
we shall shortly lend an ear to it's
greater emphasis, and accord it place
in our affections fully equal to that at

All sorts of negligee gowns are grow
ing in grace with the passing of each
season. 1t has long since passed the
wrapper stage of its existence, and is
to-day one of the essentials of every
elaborate wardrobe. 1t is no longer n
shapeless gown, but one to which mo-
distes can give their best attention in
modelling to fit the graceful figure, or
in making the ungraceful figure ap-
pear as graceful.
Even the wadded lounging robes
have been gradually losing their
shapelessness, and new models are
now shown that are as warm and COM
Portable as the old robes, yet grace
full in line and with a touch of dainti-
ness about them. Here, for instance,
is one in crinkled red silk lined with
white and finished with double-plRited
frills, one of white and one of red silk.
Another such robe has a deep, becom-
ing lace collarin in the new shawl form.
The eiderdown lounging gowns, too,
are taking on new graces, and, in
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1902-09-12

dainty colors, trimmed with wide
white silk soutasche braid, and fas-
tened by huge pearl buttons and soft
white silk scarves, deserve recognition.
In more elaborate negligees come
the accordion plated robes, which
are charming in nuns yelling, with in
sertions of lace and a deep tafretas
collar applied with lace motifs. The
accordion plated model is particular
ly effective, too, for the short negligee
or dressing sacque, and may be fash
ioned in soft silk or nuns yelling at
very slight expense, although, in the
shops, rather high prices are asked
for such garments.
American women have never really
given the negligee the time and the
serious consideration it deserves. We
do not belong to lounging nation and
must have time to learn picturesque
lounging, but the development of the
negligee costume indicates that our
women at least are at last mastering
the art.

New Veil Effects That Will Be Popular.

ly prominent that you could safely
count on finding them worn on four
out of every five hats you would see on
the streets. While they are still prom
inent they are gradually being re-
placed by those of all black or all

fon and delicate lace effects.
Black and white is running close
race with all black, and for variety
there are charming zigzag effects,
disks, tiny diamonds and even crosses.
Diagonal squares have had unusual
popularity, and they still continue to
find favor with almost all women.
There is something about the mesh
that is not only chic, but makes it
look extremely we'll over any face.
Women who are just between the
blond and brunette type should be
very careful in their choice of the
black and white combination. Nine
out of ten styles impart grayish ap,

filled with small black velvet dots.

BREEDS INSANITY.

French Doctor Attempts to Prove
That Education IL HurtruI - Ad.
vanccs Facts In support Of His
Theory.
DIR. Solners has just read before
the academy of medicine at Paris a
remarkable paper, in which he seeks
TO establish correlation between
the increase of insanity and crime
and the general diffusion of knowl-
edge.
According to his daring theory,
which is plausibly built on numer-
ously observed facts, education acts
upon certain brains in such n way as
to produce cerebral disorders, which
may be likened to those produced by
poisons upon the stomach and intes-
tines. Even superficial knowledge,
such as is impaired in primary
schools or absorbed from a newspa-
per, he declares, is sufficient to
cause minor crevices in the gray matt
ter which are responsible for many
yet uncatalogued forms of lunacy.
DR.. Solners concludes that this
world is getting too complicated, and
that it's complication is made too
constantly present to every mind by
conversations, books, newspapers
and spectacles of the busy modern
life. He took n list of the abnormal
happenings of last week to demon
strate his theories, discussing each
case. Among the instances cited
were the following:
An American woman, aged 40, sud-
denly became insane while looking
at the engines of an ocean liner.
At Touraine n farmer in the course
of an innocent controversy moved
off both the legs of his opponent
with n scythe.
A school-teacher, fascinated by re-
volving knives, jumped into a huge
clay mixer in a porcelain factory and
was chopped up like sausage meat.
A miller, suddenly seized with an
insane frenzy while watching the
swiftmoving -four roller, threw into
the machine his own five-year-old
child, whose legs were ground before
the belt slipped owing to the chok-
ing resistance.
Two Russians, man and wife, were
riding in an automobile down & steep
mountain along precipice, when the
woman exclaimed: "What II we
should swerve." Her companion, be-
fore he could resist the impulse,
obeyed some insane suggestion pro-
voked by the remark and whirled the
machine into an abyss, where he was
killed and his wife severely injured.
DR.. Solners mentioned many other
instances, from which he argued that
the human race now is composed
mostly of latent lunatics, whose in
dividual lunacy may remain inoffens-
i've until death or may break loose
suddenly under a combination of
conditions not yet scientifically de-
termined.

NEW FUR SEAL ROoKERY.
Lieut.. Ellsworth Berthof Adds to
His Laurels by Making N Valuable
Discovery.


Lieut.. Ellsworth Berthoff, of the
revenue cutter service, who received
a gold medal from congress last
spring for his part in the overland
expedition in Alaska in the winter of
1S97-9S, and who made n trip to
arctic Siberia last year in search OF
reindeer for the government, has
added to these exploits by discover
ing new fur seal rookery in the
Aleutian islands. While cruising
among the islands near the extreme
western end of the chain early in
July as the executive officer of the
steamer Manning, Lieut.. Berthoff
went ashore with n boats crew on
the island of Bouldyer. There he
found two rooloeries of fur seals
similar to those found on the famous
Pribyloff islands, which are situated
fully 700 miles in n northeasterly di-
rection from Bouldyer.
The scene of the newly discovered
seal herd is n mere bit of land be-
tween Bering sea and the Pacific
ocean. fully $500 miles west of San
Francisco, but still within American
jurisdiction. Lieut.. Berthoff ap-
preached the herd closely enough TO
learn that none of the seals had been
branded, and there was no sign that
white men in sea search of fur seal
had ever been near the island.

Electric Carriage Call.

An electric carriage call has been
installed in the Metropolitan opera
hall, New York City. This will do
away with the steel-lunged criers.
The installation consists of an cleo
trio sign board placed over the drive
way. When number is wanted an
usher presses the number ON n
switchboard. Immediately the num-
hber is emblazoned on the sign board
over the driveway. The numbers are
so large and bright that they can be
seen for blocks. All the drivers of
the carriages have to do is to watch
the board. When their number is
flashed out they drop out of the
waiting line and drive to the door. In
this manner all noise and confusion
are done away with. The same ar
rangement will be placed at other
theaters.

a FEARFUL BABY.
Wanted to Write a Letter

A man came upon his little girl in
a grievous and fearful condition, be-
cause she had been restricted in her
allowance of Grape Nuts The father
says, IT am little at home and hardly
understood why the absence of one
particular food should excite her grief,
but upon inquiry discovered that she
had taken such decided fancy to it
that she was refusing meat and al
most every other kind Of food.
Since she has been using Grape
Nuts a serious condition of constipa-
ton of the bowels has been changed
to a thoroughly normal condition and
her flesh is as solid as a rock.
I quieted her grief by agreeing to
let her write a letter, or would write
liz she would tell me what to say, so
here it is: MY dear Mr.. Grape Nuts:
Mamma will not give me all the Grape
Nuts I want. She says l must eat
some beef, and 1 don't like it; just
like Grape Nuts better than anything
else, with cream on them. Mamma
used to soak them in water, but now
II Just eat them dry with cream on
them If had ten dollars to buy
Grape Nuts with would fill the big
pantry shelf, then mamma would give
me more. I am six years old. With
love- and thanking you for making
Grape Nuts. d. L. F"
Her father adds: Right here may
gratefully give credit to Grape Nuts,
(Which has largely taken the place of
rich, i,.digestible food in my own case),
for curing distressing catarrh of the
stomach" This father and little girl
live in Truro, Nova Scotia. Name
