Their wealth, their luxury, their cul-
tivation of arts which we have not yet
had time to seriously contemplate, their
civilization, their strange class distinc-
tions, but above all the great wealth
and the great poverty of their people,
stir our wondering faculties more than
any other things can ever do. When
we behold their wealth we are as poor
children brought suddenly into rich
child's nursery and lost in astonlsh-
ment at the number and profusion OF
toys strange to us. When we see their

God that we are not as these others.
But in either case are we beset with a
great amazement-From "An Outland'

Value Of the Average Man.

Genius is a phenomenon; the average
man Is law. He has seen Shake
speares and Goethes and Napoleons
and Wagners rise lad fall, and he
goes on calmly, knowing that it is he
and not they who are the race. DespiSe
him, kick him as you will, the last
word is with him. He is natures IA
vorite Like a true mother, she loves
her dull boy best. A Shakespeare was
too much. for her, but she saw to it
that his faculty perished with him. He
died, wonder among men, and his
family reverted to the average. Lest
the abhorred thing should reappear In
the course Of generations the family
presently died out. The case is typical.
1t Is almost q commonplace Of the sci
ence Of heredity that the appearance
Of extraordinary talent in any branch
Of a family means the extinction Of
that branch-London Standard.

VulCun,

Vulcan, the god Of ancient black
smiths and metal workers, was lame
in consequence Of a pretty hard fall
he had in his early days. Jupiter and
Juno had a row, and Vulcan sided
with his mother against the old gen
tleman, who promptly kicked him out
Of heaven. He fell for whole day
and lighted on the island Of Lemnos,
broke his leg and received as severe
a shaking up as though he had tunoled
down an elevator shaft. Esculapius
set his leg, but having only just reeeiT-
ed diploma did a poor job, and for a
long time Vulcan went on a crutch.

EVENING GOWNS.
BY MADAME HYDORNE.

Paris. Nov 3-The commencement of
the opera season has forced the dress
makers to SHOW their hands" with
regard to evening dresses earlier in the
season than is usually the case. and
gauze. ninon de sole, and a very soft
make of silk canvas are the three IA
bricS which will carry all before them
during the coming months. One fea-
ture which is rarely. if ever, omitted
in the evening dress of today IS the
deep hem of soft satin or chiffon velvet
which is introduced on the skirt, and
this is so important a point that IL rs
almost taken for granted, and occurs
on the gowns of all colors and all ma
terials In some instances this hem is
cut into scallops, or even into the form
of the Greek key pattern at the top,
as for instance, in the case of love-
Iy gown of pale amber-cOlored taffetaS
yelled with Dleated chiffon in the same
shade. the hem being treated in a SIM
liar manner, while a deep cape collar,
likewise cut into the Greek key pat
tern. almost concealed the bodice of
ecru net and lace.
In the case of evening gowns, the
skirts of which are trimmed with cost
Iy lace. the order is entirely reversed
where the bodiceS are concerned, the
latter being fashioned of the lace with
the trimmings of the material itself.
This is especially noticeable in black
evening dresses over white, which are
i'm many instances inlet with panels of
Venetian and Irish lace and trimmed
with graduated rows of black velvet
reaching almost to the waist. In such
a case the bodice would be entirely
con1posed of the lace, and decorated
with wide horizontal bands of the vel
vet caught in front with paste buckles.
With girls the entire lace gown will
be very popular. the friils being trim
med with satin ribbon twisted into the
similitude OF cord. which is festooned

WRAPS FOR LITTLE FOLK.
BY SOPHIA GEANERET.

London, Nov. S.-With the return of
cool weather the question OF the nur-
sery wardrobe becomes imminent, and
the cut and style of the warm winter
and autumn coats for little people is
a matter which greatly agitates the
minds of their elders. White or chin
ehilla eolored cloth viii be high in IA
vor, while some of the prettiest coats
for mites of three or four viii be car
ried out in white plush with little white
plush hussar caps to match, trimmed
with cords and brush" In the realm
of dark green or navy blue coats, plaid
trimmings will be greatly in evidence
these taking the form of collars, cuffs
and belts.
Braid buttons. which are almost re-
garded in the light of trimming now
adays, are also in many instances used
as an alternative to the favorite smoked
are frequently rendered very effective
by the addition of large collars Of white
MORE silk bordered with braid.
One idea resembles the well known
"Uhlanen' military coat, being carried
out in the characteristic shade of gray
which distinguishes this uniform, the
belt and collar and cuffs being, how
ever, designed in any color which NAV
commend itself to the nursery author
tiles Then there is a smart little
"overcoat' in beige-colored frieze, and
supplemented with trimmings of green
and white plaid. the coat being fash
Toned In double breasted form with a
couple Of short highwayman capes.
Other designs suggested follow:
One a perfectly straight coat of pale
blue serge with collar and cuffs of sat
in to match, and q military braidIns
likewise carried out I'm the same color
as the material, while another is a
whita plush coat pleated to a little be-
low the waist and furnished with a
collar Of mOleskin velvet bordered with
lace.
All the natural shades Of the autumn
seem to have been combined I'm the
walking costumes of the winter months
including the rich red of the dahlia
and the lovely reddish-brOnze Of the
chrysanthemum, while the vivid Grim
son which the blackberry-leaf assumes
when the berry season is over. as well
as the deep purple of the fruit itself
are reproduced with excellent effect
on the cloths which form the basis
Of the tailor coats and skirts as we'll
as the afternoon gowns.
Some Of the more delicate OF the
colorings are hardly weather-prOof
under ordinary conditions, and this
puts a veto on many of the loveliest
colors and materials being employed
for ordinary walking wear. unless they
have been submitted TO the process
known as "Pirle'' finish, which obvi-
ates all danger Of their cooking and
smelling with rain. One OF the most
beautiful of the green shades is thar
known as wild thyme. a soft color
which is carried out in exact imitation
of it's namesake.

Tea Made With Milk.

Tea made with milk IN lieu of boil
ing water is a favorite beverage at
present, and one which Is looked upon
as exceedingly nourishing, combining
as 1t does both drink and food. This
is prepared in teapot in the usual
manner, more tea, however, being re-
quired than in the case of the ordinary
brew, and care should be taken to
strain off the milk whenever it has
absorbed the flavor of the tea 70 some
tastes this drink appears somewhat
sickly. and a more refreshing result
although. of course, not so nutritive a
one-is obtained by using half milk and
half water.

When the novelist of hundred years
ago wished to depict in the most start
ling colors the mental anguish OF his
prosecuted heroine, he informed the
gentle reader that 1.-The fair Belinda
had passed a SleepleSS night" His
ideas of suffering went no further. The
Belindas of today have insomnia on the
slightest provocation as a result of the
strenuous age in which they are living
and many are the cures to which the
falr ones are reSOrting.
The very latest cure for sleeplessness
was thought out by an energetic west
ern physician who came to the conclu-
sion that most of the cases of insomnia
were caused by Over-fatigue or over
excitement Of the nerves. To counter
act this the doctor believes in a series
of muscular exercises warranted to re-
lax the tension of the nerves, and bring
about that delightfully."- drowsy sensa-
freshing sleep. If you are one of the
many sufferers from sleeplessness or
one of those whose sleep seems never
to be the refreshing, restoring kind that
childhood knew. try some of these ways
of procuring real brain and body rest
