Cape and runic effects Modish.

Little cape effects are the novel
features of the latest walking suits. A
mixed blue and black cloth has a gored
skirt hung from a small yoke, and the
seams trimmed with black and white
braid. The jacket covers the hips, is
half-fttea in the back and straight in
front, where it is closed with passe-
menterie ornaments. About the shout
ders is a fat cape trimmed with braid
and passementerie ornaments. The
sleeves are slashed on the outside of
the arm, to show a ruff of blue silk
gathered into a narrow cuff of white
linen embroidered in black cotton, and
the turnover collar worn over a soft
scarf of blue silk Is to match.
In shape the tunic Is probably the
most novel feature of street costumes.

cases, is attached to the blouse under

A Cure for Rheumatism.

BRIDGEPORT, Wash, Oct. 20th.-Rheu.
matism and kidney trouble seem to
be the prevailing ailments in this ter
ritory and particularly in Douglas
county.
A remarkable and plainly sure cure
has, however, recently been intro
duced.
1t is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
although but a short time on the
market, it has already worked many
wonderful cures
One Of the most striking OF these is
that of Mr.. John Higgins, who for a
long time suffered with rheumatism
and kidney trouble. The pains OF
these diseases had combined to make
his life very miserable indeed, and he
could get nothing to do him any good
till he heard of this new remedy. He
tells his experience with it in these
words:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
more for my rheumatism and kidney
trouble than anything else have ever
used There is more virtue in them
than in any other medicine, and will
always recommend them 10 all Of my
friends highly.

Transformed.

Sir William Vernon iIarcourt on one
occasion took dinner on a British man
of-war, and, a storm coming up, was
persuaded by the captain, a very small
man, to occupy the latter's stateroom
for the night. It had been the cap
tain's custom, each morning. to take
a cup of coffee at 6 o'clock, as an eye
opener. The steward was not mott
fed of the arrangement made for Sir
Williams comfort, and, as usual,
knocked at the captains door at 6 in
the morning. Receiving no reply, he
pushed open the door, as had been his
custom when the captain did not read
lily respond, and, as he entered, heard
Sir William more and turn over heav-
lily in the berth. He dropped cup and
saucer with a smash, and went tearing
to the surgeon, to whom he exclaimed:
For heavens sake, sir, come to the
captains room! He's speeches., and
is swollen to ten times his natural
size!"-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Toilet of a Lady Ant

A naturalist has been making OBJ
s~ervations on the toilets Of certain
ants, and has discovered each insect
goes through most elaborate ablu-
tons.
They are not only performed by
herself, but by another, who acts
for the time as lady's maid. The
assistant starts by washing the face
Of her companion, and then goes over
the whole body.
The attitude of the ant that is being
washed is one of intense satisfaction.
She lies down with all her limbs
stretched loosely out; she rolls over
on her side, even her back, a perfect
picture of ease.
The pleasure the little insect
eyinces being thus combed and
sponged is really enjoyable to the
observer.

The Wealth o. the Bonanza Kings.

Generally speaking, the wealth of
"The Four Bonanza Kings" has been
much exaggerated. Basing their be.
lief on such movements in the stock
market as that of 1874, and the $40
dividends they once received monthly.
men have asserted that one or the 9th.
er of the four was worth $50, 000, 900.
But unless Mackay accumulated great
wealth after he left the Comstock
mine and the San Francisco stock mar
ket, and after his disastrous deal in
wheat, not one Of them was ever in
possession of $25, OO0, 900. But they
came up to some such figure as that
from nothing, and kept to the end a
large part of what they made.
"And with it all, neither California
nor Nevada al point to one great in
stitution of art or education o. charity
and say: THAT is an enduring monu-
ment to the Big Four."-E. H. Hamil-
ton, in the Era.
