pointed back hangs to the bottom
hem of the coat 1t is lined with
black surah. The lining is displayed
where a gilt button turns it back over
the shoulder. The coat has semi
fitted back and loose fronts. decorated
with gilt buttons. 1t has a high stand
ing collar of the broadcloth, complete
ly covered by a turnover collar of vel
vet, braided i'll gold. The sleeves are
bell-shaped and trimmed with three
deep folds of the broadcloth. The
undersleeve is plain coat sleeve ex-
cept that it puffs slightly above the
round cuff The cuff is also of the
velvet, braided in gold.
For shopping purposes the semi
fitted coats of covert cloth are fash
ionable. They are the next step to
the corset coats and are less trying to
many figures.
A pretty surtout is of the covert
cloth. 1t is in the three-quarter
length which has proved so service
able for travelling. The back is
tight fitting and the fronts three
quarter fitting. The seams are
strapped in corset design. The mar
row turnover collar is of golden
under a fly. The plain coat sleeves
have the cuffs fastened by pearl but
tons.
For outing coat models the American
coatmaker is often constrained to fol-
low the English tailors. This is not
strange. considering that England is
the one nation whose women are
avowedly devoted to sport.
One of the English importations is
a long coat of brown broadcloth
which would be admirable for auto
mobiling or steamer wear. 1t is de-
cidedly long. extending to within four
inches Of the dress hem. 1t has a
semi fitted back and loose fronts. Yet
the goods is so heavy it falls in
straight folds and takes away any
effect of fullness. The coat is double
breasted and the front is ornamented
and fastened by double rows of big
gilt buttons, which are over an inch
in diameter.
The coat has no standing collar, but
deep cape collar. This is in reality
formed Of triple collars of tan and
white broadcloth fitting smoothly
one over the other to give the effect
of only one collar. The sleeves flare
and are trimmed around the bottom
by triple landings of the tan and
white broadcloth, giving an effect SIM
liar to that obtained in the collar.
Another travelling auto coat is
of Scotch tweed. and is made some
thing after Norfolk design. 1t is

IIighbaIIs Preferred.
From the Lancet.

However the fact may be deplored,
whisky mixed with soda water is O
evry popular drink. In Pickwlckian
times the favorite stimulant was bran
dy and water, later it was whisky
and water and now plain water is
very generally replaced by aerated
water The popularization of aerated
waters has undoubtedly had much to
do with encouraging the drinking of
whisky. There are many persons who
cannot drink plain whisky and water
who will drink. perhaps with indis-
Greet relish, the same spirit mixed
with sparkling water.
The Scotchman, or the connoisseur
of whisky, not necessarily synonymous
terms, on the other hand. invariably
prefers plain water with the spirit,
and regards the admixture of soda
water as means of spelling the esthe-
tic qualities of the whisky. But in
the one case flavor is sought after,
while in the other merely AN agree
; ably stimulating fluid is desired Some
| persons believe that soda water re-
! duces the Intoxicating effect of the
/ spirit, but probably an effervescing all
! cohol liquid. judging from champagne,
! is more easily diffusible than a still
/ liquid. 1t is we'll known. at any rate,
! that very often when plain whisky
and water disagree, and sometimes
+ give rise to a feeling of sickness, the
/ substitution of effervescent water has
| a quite different effect.
There seems to be little doubt that
some explanation of this is afforded by
/ the fact that alcohol will dissolve three
times as much carbonic acid gas as
water will dissolve. Alcohol would
thus convey more gas to the stomach
and carbonic acid gas in solution ad-
/ mittedly- promotes the chemical pro-
cesses of digestion and acts as a seda-
tive in the stomach. Champagne is
well known to be useful in sickness
/ in allaying irritability of the stomach
! by virtue of the carbonic acid gas it
contains. Apart, therefore, from the
/ pleasing, sparkling qualities af aerated
water and its sharp, agreeable taste,
there would appear to be a sound ply
siological reason why whisky with soda
water Is preferred by the many to
whisky with plain water.

BILE Getting to sleep when the feet are
cold is as slow job as getting to sleep
when hungry. A hot-water bottle in
one case and a piece OF bread and but
ter in the other will help things. I
leave it to you to decide which is for
which A warm bed in winter is easily
got, but cool bed in summer is not so
simple a proposition. However, a sheet
made of straw mating, interposed be-
tween the, regular sheet and the mat
tress, will be found to mitigate sens-
bly, the horrors of a hot night. 1t pre-
serves the softness and springiness Of
the bed, and yet is pleasantly cool,
without being too cool. Personally, l
find that sleep comes soonest when I
have no pillows at all.
The next thing is to relax utterly.
Remember that the corner of the jaw
is the citadel Of tension. While that is
clinched no sleep can come. But most
important of all is the disposition of the
mind so that sleep can come. The rea-
son why we fail in other things. We
do rot very genuinely want to succeed
AS we lie stretched out after a busy
day, there are so many thoughts that
we want to chase after that we drop
the notion Of sleep, though we know
that tomorrow is another day on which
we can think. 1t is all very we'll to say

miss them is the problem that each

/ Prof. w. L. Acker, the talented
young superintendent of the city
public schools, spoke eloquently on
the subject of 1.-The Press and the
Public School" He showed that
the press and the public schools are
closely allied, and aside from re-
ligion they were the mightiest fac
| tors IN the world for influence and
good. The primary aim of the
school should be to train boys and
| girls for the avocations of life, and
where the school ends the press
should begin. The press and public
school are the sworn enemies of
ignorance and superstition and the
most potent factors for good known
to the world. Mr.. Acker's address
was short, but it contained many
/ excellent points that should be
given careful consideration. There
were many expressions of praise for
his speech.
Congressman Jack Beall respond
ed in his usual characteristic happy
vein to the toast 1.-The Newspaper
In Politics" Mr.. Beall's ability as
an orator is well known and his
speech last night added new 'eurels
to his brow. He said you could not
think of newspaper man without
thinking of politics. He is suppos-
ed to know everything, and if he
does not he pretends to and that
accomplishes about the same pur-
pose. When he goes into politics
he is monarch of all he surveys. He
must know everything of the past
and present and know what's to
come. The newspaper man is
power in politics and weilds an extern
tensiye influence. The newspaper

which Is wrong. H can mould and
