This is coat that will L. t-.srs available for motosinG, Tor truv,,iu5 and for general utility wear. The collar may be rolled open as it is here, or buttoned up closely about the neck, and the coat may be worn with the belt or without it. Here, 1t is made of the chinchilla cloth that is so much worn this season and which is really ideal for motoring and for piazza use during the late summer, when the evenings and mornings always are cool, but the model will be found a good one for all cloaking materials and its s1nartness will extend in definitely. Students who are con templating a return to college and who are considering the Autumn wardrobe will find it especially available. 1t will make a thoroughly useful top coat to be worn throughout the entire season and it is so simple that it can quite easily and readily be made at home. The raglan sleeves mean that there is no fitting to be accomplished and that the coat can be slipped on over any gown without danger of IulI L Nouttl iJ' III IU1SSllJlG to find model better adapted to the students needs The arrangement of the plaits and the belt is especially attractive, but the coat is quite cor rect left perfectly loose and plain, and treated in that way, pockets can be inserted in the fronts. For the lighter weight coat of immediate wear, serge would be good material, and for the coat of the coming season, serge or broadcloth, cheviot or wool jersey or any one of the mixtures that are offered for the Fall would be satis- factory. The trimming can be striped material as it is here, or plain silk or velvet. Since velvet makes a feature of the summer fash ions, the velvet trimmed coat would be quite as correct for immediate wear as for the coming season.
 For the medium size will be needed, 45s yards of material 30 inches wide, ln wards | or urif h Sn ward

It would be hard to find a pretticr, little coat than this one. In the picture, it is made of tafieta and the collar and cuffs are scalloped while shocking forms the girdle. It is as simple a garment as can be for the body and skirt portions are cut all in one piece. There are only the shoulder seams to be sewed up and the sleeves to be joined. The shocking is such simple work that any mother will be able to do it. If she has not already learned the art, there are transfer patterns giving the proper arrangement of dots and instructions which can be pur- chased for few cents. Scallops are familiar and represent no considerable amount of labor. The coat, however, is one that will be just as smart for the coming season as it is for the present, and it can be made of light weight serge, of a heavier silk than talfeta or indeed of any cloaking ma terial that is adapted to little children's use and which can be made full. If the shocking is not liked or represents too great labor, ShrrlngS can be sub stituted. There is plain fitted lining over which the full coat is ar ace in whatever way it is treated. e soft satins, which while they are eight for childrens coats and mean made in this way and the body DOT

In England there is a superstition that if a bride and groom eat peri winkle leaves together they win love one another. Should he after marriage prove recalcitrant here is a way to win him back: Take a piece of the root of a wallfower and a partridges heart, roll them into ball and make the man eat it.

Warming Gold pishes.

Castle Kilkenny is one of the oldest inhabite dwellings in the world, some of the rooms being 800 years old. Among it's ancient treasures is a serv- ice of gold plate. Besides the ordi- nary plate service, Castle Kilkenny has the whole series of gold cups used at coronation banquets down to the time of George IV- The gold of the serFice plates is almost without alloy, consequently very soft and easily mar red. Hence the plates are warmed and presumably also washed after use by being dipped into hot water held by a pair of tongs whose tips have been muff1ed in chamois 1eather.-Lon- don Globe

This Is Travel.

To travel, then, is to do, not only to see. To travel best is to be of the sportsmen of the road. To take a chance and win; to feel the glow of muscles too long unused; to sleep on the ground at night and find it soft: to eat, not because ft is time to eat, but because ones body is clamoring for food; to dP1nk where every stream and river is pure and cold; to get close to the earth and see the stars-this is travel.-Mary Roberts Rinehart in Col Hers Weekly.

Iapan'a Jinrikisha.

Curiously enough, the inventor of Ja- pans famed jinrikisha was an Ameri- can and minister, the Rev. Jonathan Gable of Philadelphia. It is on record that he accompanied Commodore Perry on his epoch making trip to Japan in 1858, where he seems to have remain ed. At any rate, in 1859 he was re- quested by Prince Ito to draw the plan of a vehicle that could be used in the imperial park at Yokohama. He took his idea from a London bath chair, sub- stituting a man for the small front wheel.

The Flax Plant.

Linen is obtained from the flax plant, a small, delicate annual with a tiny blue flower The plant is pulled by hand in the summer, the seeds, known in commerce as linseed, being removed and the straw subjected to various processes to separate the fibrous part which constitutes the linen. First it is, steeped in water and then passed through a drying and heating process on revolving wheels until all foreign matter is removed. 1t is then ready for manufacture.

Modern Persian |. simple.

Modern Persian shares with English the reputation of being a singularly easy language to learn, the chief trou- ble being that it is written in the Arabic character. It had, however, at one time three numbers and eight eases, and the Avesta, the chief book of the Zoroastrians, is only to be Un- derstood by the ripe scholar. But mod ern Persian has no cases, no declen- sions and no genders and may there fore be mastered without tears and without the application of wet towels to the head.-London Chronicle.
