 really definite is evolved. About the best that one can do just now is to pick up the tiny threads that drop by the way slde. They are but straws, to be sure, but then 1t is straws that point the way the Wlnd IS blowing. One of these straws polnt to the reappearance of basques tor autumn tailor-mades. In fact, they nave already reappeared, and the tail- DTS are even now manipulating them, usually in conjunction with the little shoulder capes. A triple basque and triple cape, both of the smallest dimen- slons, form an excellent finish to tweed travelling costume.
 But the return of the basque does not mean the entire disappearance of the DoIero, despite the rumors that have come to us both from our own authori- lies on fashions and from those across

collar bands. A large eXpanse of bare neck seen by daylight has become ter ribly vulgar of late years. Still collar less dresses may be worn for restaurant dining, but they are generally accom- panied by wide strings to the hat or tulle, chiffon, or feather stole
 The skirts of the demi-toilettes, and in- deed, of the afternoon fete frocks as well, seem to be longer than ever. A charming example in mousseline de soie had a great number of little frills from the knees downward of Valenciennes. banded with white Liberty satin. The large sleeves were frilled to match the skirt, but bodice fitted the figure somewhat closely, relieved only by a small zouaye of English embroidery and Valenciennes lace. A large white crfno- line hat, with one of the new "jampot" crowns and three lovely white feathers. completed this striking looking toilette.
 Spangles for evening wear are coming into fashion with silver embroideries of all kinds. I have seen such wonderful dress for a debutante, made entirely of pale gray tulle spangled all over with silver. There Is wonderful cloak to 20 with it, of gray oriental satin, lined with mink, with high collar faced in with Mechlin lace, and fischu of the same coming down almost as far as the knees caught up at either side with priceless old paste clasps. This toilette formed part of trousseau, and the Mechlin lace and clasps were the wedding gift of the brides grandmother. Nowadays peo- pie give really sensible presents-furs faces, and useful ornaments, not to speak of household goods in the way of furni. ture and old silver.
 have noticed for some time past q return to the old round "umbrelIan skirts. These should be worn with tiny pads at the back to give roundness to the waist. The tendency Is still to short. en the waist at the back and to lengtben it in front as Is seen by the prominence of the 1880 corsets. This fullness in tbe back is almost universally becoming

An old Soldiers Experience.

Dennard, Ark, Sept. 7th.-Mr. E. J. Hicks, merchant of this place, has written for publication, an account of personal ex- perience, which is very interesting.
 "I am an old Federal Soldier" writes Mir. Hicks, 'and shortly after the close of the war 1 was taken sick. hadaches and pains all over me, futtering of the heart and stomach trouble. l just simply was never moment without pain. l could not sleep at night, and 1 was always tired and fearful ly weak.
 "I took medicine all the time, but for a long time 1 was more dead than alive. AL together 1 suffered for over twenty years, and 1 believe I would have been suffering yet, or in my grave, if had not read of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
 "I got an Almanac, which told me of this remedy, and 1 bought some of it. I started with three pills a day, but increased the dose to six pills day. I had not used many till my pains began to disappear l kept on, and now can sleep and eat as we'll as ever 1 could, and I feel like new man, with no pains or aches left.
 '.I will always recommend Dodds Kidney Pills, for they are wonderful remedy"

city, and variety of fur effects are worked out in velvet and plush, astra- khan, baby lamb and carmine being the favorite models.
 The lowered, striped and dotted vel vets are wonderful in color and quality, as are the plain velvets, many of which are so soft that they may be draped al- most as easily as crepe or fine cloth. In the red-blue or blue-red shades, which dominate the autumn color scheme, vel vet is particularly lovely
 But let Us get back to our illustrations. One of them is of a simple dress for coun- try wear made with a trotteuse skirt The material is dark cloth or fine serge, and it is trimmed simply but sufficiently with Roumanian embroidery, the bright colors of which are relief to the plainness of the gown. The hat is a soft shape in straw trimmed with a cluster of roses and bow and ends of velvet. for which the deep red of the embroidery can be chosen or the same color as the cloth if preferred.
 The other is one of those useful little evening dresses which can be worn at an at-home, or small dance, or for the the ater. The material is black crepe de chine gauged and corded, and trimmed with an insertion of white lace.

COMING FINANCIER.
o"ng Nnpoieon of Finance Found n Way to Realize on Promised
 Assistance,

A certain member of the stock exchanye set hls nephew up in business three times. but the young man lacked something es, SSentlal to success in the line selected for hlm, and had failed with e n effort. Re- gently, when he came with he fourth re- quest for financial assstanct the uncle de- murred. oe
 " ou must learn to lean on yoursef.o he said, can't carry you all your life. It would be an unkindness in me to keep sun plying you with money to carry on enter. prises that invariably end in assignments. I'll tell you what I'll do. You owe a great deal as the result of that last failure. Pitch in on your own hook, and go it alone til you pay off those debts. When you've done that l Il give you check for all they amount to. Such an experience will do you more good than all the money l could give you now"
 Two months later the nephew walked in with every claim receipted in full, and the uncle. was so delighted that he gave the promised check
 Now, that's something like it." he said and III wager you feel the better for the hard fi training. How did you manage it.,

 Now the old gentleman is telling them that there is the making of great fina ncier in that nephew.

FEASTED ON CHICKENS.
PuriOined Poultry Partnken Of by Mark Twain in Mississippi
 River. Days.

Recently Maj. John B. Downing, of Middleport, O., was discussing army chicken stealing and the various ways the boys had of preparing them to be served. The major was a Mississippi river pilot in his young days and stood at the wheel as a cub under the watch full eye of Sam" Clemens, the Mark Twain of the present day, says the New York Times.
 Speaking of chicken stealing" said the major, who is now gray and remi- niscent, i've had great times on the Mis- sissippi when Mark Twain, Jake Estep and myself were together Jake would have made typical soldier. He could locate fat bullet in a whole cocp of half-breeds.
 "In those days we carried a great deal of poultry from points along the Mississippi river to New Orleans, par ticularly during the holiday season. At many places the coops were four and five deep on the levee when we landed. Estep always had an eye out for par ticularly promising coop, and usually kept in mind the place where it had been stored away.
 Shortly before midnight he would go on deck and extract several plump fowls from the GOODS he had 'preempted' The chickens were dispatched without a protesting squawk. the entrails re- moved, but the feathers left intact. Sea- sonings were then inserted, and the fowls inclosed in heavy casing of soft clay to the thickness of two inches. They were then cast among the hot em. bers in the ashpan and permitted to roast to the queens taste When thor oughly cooked, they were removed, and the clay casing broken from about them. The feathers came away with the clay, leaving clean, smoking fowls ready for the dish of hot butter await ing them upstairs. Estep with a fork stripped the flesh from the bones into the melted butter, while the rest of us stood about and smacked our lips In anticipation. Dear, dear, but they were goodi Tn cooking them in that way all the rich favors were retained-I can almost taste them now, and wish could as a matter of fact"

BIRD THAT TENDS FLOCK.
The Ynkamik of South Anne irfca When Domesticated Becopaes
 Useful ServaDf.

The natives of Venezuela and ad- joining countries on the north side of the river Amazon often avail them selves of the services of tho native crane to care of their poultry, and also use it in the place of collie or shep- herd dog, to guard and herd their do- mestic animals. This remarkable bird, which the Indians call yakamik, is found in wild state in the great forests that lie between the northern coasts of South America and the Anna zon river, particularly in Venezuela and British Guiana. The birds never leave the forests unless shot or cap tured.
 They travel about in fiocks of from 100 to 200, in search of the berries, fruits, an insects upon which they subsist. Their usual gait is slow and stately march, but they enliven them selves from time to time by leaping up in the air, executing eccentric and fancy waltzes, and striking the most absurd and preposterous attitudes. If pursued, they endeavor to save them selves by running, for their flight is so weak, according to Schomburg, that when they attempt to fly over body of water of any considerable width they are often compelled to drop upon it and save themselves by swimming.
 When alarmed, they utter the pecu- liar cry which has obtained for them the name of trumpeters. The sound is something like that produced by per son endeavoring to shout the syllables tow, tow, tow, tow, tow, tow" with his mouth shut, or the doleful noise made by children on New Years day with their trumpets The yakamiks usually deposit their eggs in hollow in the ground, often at the foot of a tree.
 A nest generally contains ten eggs of pale green color. The young birds follow their mothers as soon as they are matched, but do not lose their pretty downy covering until several weeks old. The yakamiks are very readily tanned and prove valuable ser wants to the Indians, who domesticate them, and as they are courageous, and will protect animals intrusted to their care at every risk to themselves, even dogs are obliged to yield to their au- thority.
 They may be trusted with the care of flock of sheep or domestic fowls, and every morning will drive the ducks and poultry to their feeding places, and carefully collecting any stragglers, bring them safely home at night. A yakamik soon learns to know and obey the voice of his master, fol- lows him when permitted wherever he goes, and appears delighted at receiv- ing his caresses. It pines at his ab sence, and welcomes his return, and is extremely jealous of any rival. Should any animal attack its master, the ya- kamik in utmost fury attacks it with wings and beak, driving it away.
 It presents itself regularly during heals, from which it chases all do- mestic animals, and even the negroes who wait on the table, if it is not well acquainted with them, and only asks for share of the eatables after it has driven away all who might aspire to5a favorable notice from the family.

ripple is perhaps newer for outing wear than the plaited skirt and strapping and stitching are used in an endless variety of ways. Shaded stitching, or stitching In several colors upon one tone material, is susceptible of clever handling, and this same stitching is put upon plain cloth bands, to be applied to mixed ma terials.
 It is safe to say there will be decided preference for velvet in late fall and early winter models. The manufactur- CTS of these materials have outdone r1 previous efforts in giving us somet'nng attractive both in variety and colorings of the fancy velvets. Panne is the most prominent, but astonishing things are done with the once plain panne. On ground of black panne are sprinkled large dots the size of five-cent piece, the dots being in white with long silky nap that suggests fur. Another pattern shows white figures upon black panne, but this time the figure looks like medallion of heavy white silk net ap- plique. Odd moire panne is another nov

the water. These wise ones have insist ed that the bolero was a thing of the past and in support of their conclusions, they point to the increasing vogue of the close-itting half-length coat, the short coat with basques, the revived reefer, etc., but, on the other hand, many of the most chic among the new models shows boleros, and one is forced to conclude that the end is not yet, although the bolero is never so much worn in autumn as in spring and summer.
 Waistcoats are, by the way, effective details in the autumn tailor suits, and, while separate waistcoat is unusual, a simulated waistcoat or waistcoat line in contrasting color, relieves many of the wool suits. White, powder blue, suede gray, bright red, hunters green and the light brown shades in cloth are used with excellent results upon the mixed tweeds, homespuns, cheviots, etc, which, as rule, combine many colors. bright threads of several hues gIeaming through the soft neutral lines that form the yNasis of the material
 Pipings of color are often used upon these mixed cloths and even upon plain cloth piping of contrasting color is fre- quently called into service.

 It is worse than foolish for so many women to suffer year after year with q disease that can be permanently cured
 Perunacures catarrh permanently. It cures old chronic cases as wella as aslight attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it should be taken to effect a cure.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
