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 overs the hips, is
half-ftted 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 or
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.
It is used over skirts that trail a trifie
and fits closely over them, fastening
invisible on one side, sometimes under
O cluster of up and down pleats or line
OF trimming. But the tunic, in most
cases, is attached to the blouse under
an inconspicuous belt, and the whoie
forms a coat worn over a SILK or lace
underblouse.-New York Tribune.

Toilet of a Lady Ant

A naturalist has been making OBJ
~seryations on the toilets OF certain
ants, and has discovered each insect
goes through most elaborate ablu-
lions.
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
evinces being thus combed and
sponged is really enjoyable to the
observer.

Transformed.

Sir William Vernon Harcourt 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 s~tateroom
for the night. II 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 noti-
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 snore 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.

A cnre for ~Rheumatism.

BRIDGEPORT, Wash, Oct. 20th.-Rheu-
n,atism 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
6uced.
II is called Dodd's Kidney p.tls and
although but a short time on the
market, 1t 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 n kidney
trouble thar anything else have ever
used. There is more virtue in them
than in any other medicine, and Will
always recommend them to all OF my
friends highly.
