For the dressy coat and skirt suits
1t is probable that the bolero. whose
decline is once more heralded. will be
as popular as ever, and there will be
loose. picturesque little paletot and
mantle effects. such as have been seen
in the summer costumes. The quaint
draped wrap recalling the days Of the
shawl Is toe recent a favorite in Paris
to be dropped merely because Of a
change of season, and we shall SEQ
these effects in cloth and velvet and
fur.
Short wasted coats, too, will be n
legacy from summer to winter, and
these will have skirts of varying
lengths, from the short hip length
basque 20 the long, enveloping skirts
OF the carriage and theater coat. The
short wasted back combined with
fronts. giving a natural waist line, Is
not unbecoming, eve to the woman Of
large hips. II it be cleverly cut and
hung: but 1t does need very skillful
handling.
In our illustration VIC show two very
smart street costumes. The one with
the plain skirt Is of rich bronze cOrdu
roy ~vclyeteen, with very smart cvers
and tabs OF cream MORE, and the over.
lay of very fine guipurc lace on the
bodice just supplies the happy touch
that enhances the charm of the gown.
The other costume is a cry effective
model In mouse-colOrcd cloth, trimmed
with velvet of the same tone. the smart
little bolero coat, which Is lined with
silk being finished with cord and but
tons.

Monkey That Wears SpectaCles.

The clever cuckoo is not the only
birding that deposits it's eggs in the
nests of other birds, and thus gives
the little ones an unwilling stcpmoth.
cr. In the South Kensington Natural
History museum a case of nests late.
ly has been prepared in evidence of
this. Among these is one with the
egg of the cowbird in a lest of the
tyrant hrust, the difference between
the eggs being most marked, In other
instances the foreign egg closely re
scmbles the native eggs. But some
species of cuckoo hatch their owa
eggs, like other faithful birds. An.
other natural history curiosity Is In
the Berlin geological garden, where a
spider monkey has been operated on
for cataract, and now wears glasSes.
For more than a year after Mr.. Mon.
key had been received at the ZOO he
was healthy and lively; then he be.
came quiet, ceased to play, and
crOuched in a corner. He was exam.

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS veARs.
Terrible sealy Hurnor In Patches Al
Over the e~ody--skin Cracked and
eleeding-cured by cutieura.

II was afflicted with psoriasis for
~thirty-fve years. 1t was in patches
all over my body. I used three cakes
OF Cuticura Soap. six boxes Of Oint.
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days I was completely cured,
and I think permanently, as II was
about five years ago. Tho psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming a circle. leaving In
the center n spot about the size of a
silver dollar of sound flesh. In n short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of a white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again In twenty.four hours.
II was worse on my arms and limbs.
although it was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. II let the
scales remain too long without remov.
ing by bath or otherwise. the skin
would crack and bleed. ! suffered in.
tense itching. worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when It would be almost
unbearable. w. NJ. Chidcster, Hutch.

TIME BALL.

The suggestion has been made
that time ball be erected in this
city and the Telegram believes ii
the proper thing to do. There
would be comparatively little cost at
tendant and any amount of conven-
fence and uptodateness.
The Western Union, it is under
stood, offers to furnish free service,
direct from the naval observatory at
Washington, after the ball has been
erected. Such balls are usually two
or three feet in size and dark color
ed and hollow, with mechanical cleo
trical apparatus attached, so that
when the sun crosses the meridian
the ball indicates the hour of II
o'clock.
All cities of any size have them.
Wheeling, Charleston and other cit
les in West Virginia have them and
there is no reason Clarksburg should
lag in this respect.
It has been suggested that very
good place for it would be on top of
the big water tank some of the
wholesale houses are having con-
structed in Glen Elk and it is more
than likely the project will meet
with the favor of the wholesalers
to the extent of their raising the pole
at their own expense, which would
not be at all large.
