STYLES IN GLOVES TWO-BUTTON AND SINGLE-CLASP LENGTHS POPULAR. indications Are That Dark Shades Will Be Largely Worn—Green to Be One of the Colors Most Affected. Advanced styles in gloves indicate that long sleeves are an established fact, for most of them are in two-but- ton and single-clasp lengths that bare- cover the wrists. hese up-to-date gloves are in taupe, dark green and rich deep »xrown colors. Among these decided tints there is extremely pretty shade of wistaria nat looks like mauve until the two 's are placed side by side—that be worn with gowns on dahlia and taria tints. Taupe goes well with lmost any color and is expected to scome very popular. Green is a color that seems to be to the fore, and some very gloves in dark green are seen 1 both emerald and olive shades. too, is struggling for a place love world, and, as this kid dency to reduce the size of he hand, probably it will meet favor. On the whole, however, fashion’s fancy for bright, glossy surfaces, hence e full ine of glace kids. om Sue n the ey LUNCH NAPKINS OF DAMASK. Prettily Worked, They Make a Most Acceptable Gift.

The New Evening Mantle. A charming and useful article, seen new in Paris, is the new evening nantle for the shoulders, in place of searf. It is of crepe de chine, or mbroidered silk, and is generally heavily weighted with silk fringe or p lace, so that it clings to the form. is, too, may be drawn over the head to protect the hair.—Vogue. AUTUMN LEAF SOFA CUSHION. iething New Among the Pretty and Bright Designs. \ pretty soft cushion may be made the following way: Take a square rk green linen, the size you wish ion; cut out leaves of brown light green linen, yellow linen le yellow and bright orange lin- e them on in a border design, ing a cluster of them in one cor- er, from which a vine of them issues, to encircle the square. After they have Many all been basted in place take bright Mocha is always in demand as fall advances, and several new shades are seen in this popular kind of hand cov- ering. The favorite tones will be taupe. tan, slate and gray, and, fortunately for those women whose hands perspire freely, these gloves with silk linings can be bought. The value of the silk lies in the fact that it keeps the hands warm and absorbs the perspiration. Auto gloves are made with deep flaring gauntlets in the favorite tans and dark browns. At three dollars a pair there is a very good model, with wide cuff, gus- set strap at wrist, and spear-back, colors tan and black, and a cheaper grade at two dollars a pair is made with a large gusset at the side for slipping on and off quickly. It has no clasp. The cosiest looking angora and rab- bit wool gloves are ready for those who prefer these for cold days. They come in white, black, natural tints and gray. The evening gloves are of fine glace kid, long, of course, and show no outre or extraordinary features. . The backs are plain, for neither embroid- ery nor applique marks the newest styles. It is possible to get evening gloves in every imaginable color, but white is always in good taste, and— it goes without stating—the most economical, for not only will it har- monize with any toilet, but it can be cleaned time and again and looks like new, which is not the case with colors. FOR WEAR IN THE EVENING. This picture shows a stunning eve- ning robe of black dotted tulle over cream liberty satin. It employs one of the very deep girdles extending down over hips and around bottom at set in- tervals are two rows of narrow black jet trimming. The low-cut bodice has festoons of jet across the front, with tassels hanging at each side, where it fastens, just at the bust line. The shoulder straps and cuff bands on the short sleeves are also of jet and the shirred white piece across the front is embroidered white tulle, through which is run narrow jet trimming. EIGHT BOWS ON A HAT. Quaint Arrangement That Has a Really Pretty Effect. The round sailors, or those that are egg-shaped and intended for steady street wear, are trimmed with eight satin bows. This is a quaint arrange- ment, but does not look nearly as jumbled as it sounds. Square bows, five inches long, with loops and ends of equal width, are made and attached to two rows of milliners’ wire. This wire is cut the exact size of the crown, and when the bows are firmly attached too it it is merely twisted together at the back. The bows are not put on up and down, as a rule, although this would not be a bad departure to make from the original model. They are put on with loops and ends touching to form a complete crown band. The beauty o: itis that, being on the milliner’s wire instead of the hat, they can be changed at will. All one has to do is to untwist the ends of wire at the back and lift off the row of bows. Another row in another color may be substituted. Cravat for Old Waist. A convenient little cravat which and dark green silk and button-hole ‘hem about the edges, chain-stitching veins in the leaves with the same col- ors. On light green leaves use the dark green floss, and vice versa. If more of a variety of colors is desired some of the brown leaves may be out- lined with bright red silk instead of green. The colors make a pretty com- bination, and the cushion cover will be both serviceable and durable, not soiling easily like more dainty pillow tops of silk or hght-colored stuffs. The bottom cover may be of bright red can- s or heavy twilled cotton. A mixed brown and red or green cord may be put about the edge to forma neat and tive finish. does much to freshen up an old waist is made of a bow and ends of helio- trope velvet or satin ribbon, the ends having three small silk balls or acorns which give them weight. The center of the bow is caught with a heart- shaped buckle of pearls or rhinestones. A dainty collar consists of gold thread lace of Irish pattern with a cluster of little balls hanging quite low in front to represent cherries. With these go long neckties of real Trish crochet finished with balls and drops. Even more smart looking are the wide outstanding bows of white illusion worn under the chin. These bows are caught at the base of the collar with some ornamental pin. VOUCHED FOR THE BARKEEPER. ‘| Washington Temperance Official Was Put in a Tight Place. There comes over a certain officia: in this city a feeling of sadness that his soul cannot resist when he consid- ers the misfortune attending him who seeks to aid his brother man, writes a Washington correspbdndent. Last week an individual from Ire- land, verdant as the grass of his Em- erald Isle, drifted into Washington and besought aid of friends that he might land a position lightly tossing mixtures across the festive bar. He met a friend, also Irish, and to this friend he confessed his ambition to be- come a first-class mixologist in the capital of the nation. The friend re- membered the official, who is a proper prohibitionist, and called him up over the phone. “T’ve a friend just arrived from Ire- land,” said he, “and I want you as a personal favor to write him a neat little letter explaining that you regard him as an ideal concoctor of mixed bug juice. Take it from me he is. He mixed me a cocktail once that floated me for a week. I know what I’m talking about.” So the dear, kind official who never drinks—never, never drinks, mind you —agreed to write for the ardent mix- ologist a letter of effusiveness that would touch the heart of any barkeep in town. Toward a business office, where the official and numerous co-workers and the man who hires him were gath- ered, the man with the ambition wended his weary way. The official was seated in a calm state delivering an eloquent address on the beauties of lemonade to an ap- preciative audience, when from with- out the door came a booming voice, inquiring whether Mr.— was around. The official looked up on hearing his name called and inquired who desired the pleasure of his company and con- versation. In walked the man with the ambi- tion to mix them for Washington citi- zens, his genial face aglow with sun- burn and perspiration. “O’m lukin’ for a man by the name of Misther ——,” reiterated the man with the ambition, “are you him?” “J am he,” replied the official, im- pressively and gramattically. “Oi’m the bahr-thinder thot’s lukin’ fer a letter of testimonial,” an- nounced the man from the Emerald Isle. Somebody snickered. The official let out a noise like the snort of a wounded walrus. “My man,” he protested, “I—” “Yis, I know,” remarked the son of Erin, “but yez see they told me thot if Oi could git thot litter of recom- mindashun from ye, Oi could git a job at any place in town.” a | The official—the official who never drinks—gazed at the apoplectic faces of his dear friends, and at the look ~jof mild, sad “how could you do it” reproach on the face of the man who hires him, and he turned toward the fatuously happy searcher for a posi- tion as dispenser of drinkables. “Come, with me, my man; come with me,” he said, in a slightly choked voice, taking the seeker after a posi- tion by the arm. Together they walked away to a lit- tle office, where the official, sat down ‘and wrote the letter. And since that time he has been debating whether he would do best to kill the searcher for a position or the man who got him to write the letter, or both. All Saw to Dog’s Comfort. Is it possible—can it be possible— that Washington has a bad name in the south with respect to its treatment of dogs? Of course in the south there are—according to perfectly unreliable statistics—14 hound dogs to every square foot of territory, and if they all were muzzled—according to the same statistics—’twould take the leather and hide output of the entire middle west for three years. But to the point. A newspaper man was down in the freight yards of the Union station just the other day and passed ‘a baggage car in which was a box with a slatted front containing two handsome collie dogs, the kind one sees in Landseer’s paintings. The box was addressed to New York and had been shipped from a North Caro- lina point. Tacked on the front of the box was a placard containing a crude- ly printed sign which read: “When we're in Washington please give us a drink of water. We won't bite you.” I wonder if that was a slur on the town? But however it was intended, the suggestion was most efficacious. Hardly a man, woman or child passed that crate and saw the sign without stopping to peer in and note if the tin pan in one corner had plenty of water in it—Washington Post. Special Quarters for President. President Roosevelt, returning to Washington from Oyster Bay to re- sume his final season’s work as pres- ident, informally dedicated the “Pres- idential Station.” During the absence of the chief magistrate from the cap- ital the finishing touches were put upon the great railway terminal which has been nicknamed the President’s station by reason of the fact that for the first time there has been provided in an edifice of this kind special apart- ments for the use of the president of the United States when setting out upon or returning from a_ railroad journey. Length, Rivers—No; I’ve no time to go and play golf. Can’t you see I’m up to my ears in work? Brooks—Yes, but that leaves a con- siderable margin unoccupied. Better come, old man.—Chicago Tribune. i NORWAY. The Norwegian whaleboat, “Snorre Sturlasson,” has been sold to Japan. It will be under the command of Norse officers. * ees Miss Inga Olson, a popular Norwe- gian actress, is dead at the age of fifty- two. Her last public appearance was at Bergen last May, when she acted against the doctor’s advice. see Bishop Wexelsen of Trondhjem has declined appointment as member of the royal and parliamentary church commission. It is presumed that the appointment will now be tendered to Bishop Brun. ses 6 Captain Hj. Johansen has asked the department of labor for permission to control the water power at Numedal- slaagen, for the purpose of manufac- turing electricity to furnish power for factories at Drammen. s ¢ ¢ The population of Norway June 30, 1908, was 2,337,536, showing an in- crease over the population about 6,000 since April 1, 1908. During the in- tervening period there were 17,534 births and 8,916 deaths. wee During the present year there have been brought to Tromso 26 live polar bears, 187 dead bears, 4 living wal- ruses, 162 dead walruses, 21,313 seals, 4,039 moose, 204 reindeer, 40 tons of whalebone and other captures, valued at 251,711 crowns. s. * @ The authorities of Rendalen have been granted a loan of 100,000 crowns by the government, with which to buy the Nestu forest, which is to be pre- served from destruction for the gen- eral good. Another wise act that will be appreciated by posterity. sos +* * Consul Mohr is now erecting the home for needy that he has been plan- ning to erect since the death of his wife, Agnete, whose name the institu- tion will bear, it being in the nature of a memorial. The cost of the home will be 45,000 crowns. ss 2 \ The receipts of the government of Norway during the fiscal year ending last April were 114,900,000 crowns, and the disbursements 108,100,000, leaving a surplus of 6,800,000 crowns. This is a very good showing to say the least, being an improvement over the preceding year. se 8 The tar industry at Listerstraden has brought 40,000 crowns this year. This is an average return for the work, which is done by women and children for the most part. The in- come from this industry adds no little to the prosperity of that part of Nor- way. ee The death rate in Christiania last year was 13.1 per thousand. That is the lowest death rate of any European capital during the same period. The death rate in Stockholm was, how- ever, almost as low, being 13.9 per thousand, and in Copenhagen the rate was 15.2 per thousand. ss ¢ * The Liberal Minded Young People’s society of Drammen has begun raising funds for the purpose of erecting a monument over the grave of Per Sivle, in the Sundhaugen cemetery, near Drammen. Per Sivle is the dia- lect poet who died a few years ago. His memory is cherished by all and his fame is increasing. eee The hospital which Emperor Will- iam of Germany presented to the city of Odda has now been erected. It is like the German field hospitals, used for the benefit of the soldiers, and is built of light material and is trans- portable. The hospital contains only two rather small sick chambers and an operating room. The building is very well lighted and is comfortable and homelike, ee 8 Jens Thiis has been appointed direct- or of the national art gallery at Christiania. His appointment is in recognition of his eminence as an art eritic and scholar. He has been director of the museum of arts at Trondhjem and has made it a model in all respects. He has written a his- tory of Norwegian painting and sceulp- ture, which is authoritative. His ap- pointment is hailed with satisfaction by he press of he country. ss. | 8 SWEDEN. Considerable uneasiness is felt about the cholera, as it has gained a foothold in Finland and may easily come into this country. Every pre- caution is being observed and incom- ing vessels are forced to undergo the strictest inspection. see Norkoping’s merchants’ association has taken steps to put a stop to tlie selling of tobacco and cigarettes to minors. The dealers have signed an agreement not to sell to any under fifteen years of age. This reform will also be taken up by the commmuni- ties. sae Fire destroyed the tourist hotel at Rindobad a few days ago.

The loss is practically covered by the insurance. eee Major Aaby Ericsson from Gafes- torp has made application to landsting for 200 crowns to be used as prizes for the horses in his district. s ¢ @ C. V. Johansson, superintendent of Karlskrona hospital, has .been sen- tenced to three and a half years, im- prisonment for embezzlement of funds. 8 Typhoid fever is epidemic at Gote- borg, a total of seventy cases being reported. So far there has been only one death, but several of the patients are not expected to pull through. es 8 & Diphtheria has been epidemic at Or- gryta, Goteborg since last fall. As soon as the schools opened this fall the disease again broke out, a dozen or more cases being reported. s+ @ The electrical company Electron has agreed with the municipality at Goteborg for a transfer of its plant to the city. The company will keep its franchise until 1909, when the city takes possession by paying the com- pany 50,000 crowns. ses 8 Manufacturer Neuscheller of Viborg, who has been receiving a handsome royalty for rubbers manufactured by a Russian-American company, has now sold his patent right to the com- pany for 22 million marks, receiving 10 million of this sum cash. a 28 The cases against Editor C. G. Schroder of Landskrona, who is charg- ed with inciting crime, has develop- ed some interesting points of law and the case has had to be continued from time to time. One of Schroder’s wit- nesses has been indicted for perjury, and his trial will come on as soon as the other one is finished. se 8 The medical society which this year celebrates its 100th year jubilee, has commissioned Hasse W. Tullberg to put out a portrait catalogue of as many of its 2,350 members as possible. The work has been pushed with all possible vigor and so far portraits have been secured of 1,725 of the members ofthe society from the time since its organization in 1808. Of the members from other countries there are still lacking some 175. Biographic- al sketches will also be published and the book promises to be a valuable one to the medical world as well as to the general public.

This is because the elections in the island went strongly against his party and policies. His successor has not as yet been chosen. se 8 the new minister of finance will have a hard row to hoe during the coming year, judging by the report of the former minister of finance, Mr. Neergaard, to the rigsdag September 28, 1908. The report calls for 101,054,- 239 crowns, whereas the amount of funds in sight is only 94,054,239 crowns. ses *¢ & A new cabinet has been formed to take the place of the Christensen ministry, which had to resign on ac- count of the Alberti scandal. It was organized by N. Th. Neergaard, the minister of finance in the old regime, and is as follows: Premier and minister of war and of the marine, Mr. Neergaard. Minister for foreign affairs, Count Ahlfeldt Laurvig. Minister of culture, Enevold Soren- son. Minister of justice, S. Hogsbro. Traffic minister, Jensen Sonderup. Minister of agriculture, Anders Niel- sen. Minister for the Bernsten. Minister of commerce. Ole Hansen. Minister of finance, Ch. Brun. The best known and most highly re- pected among these men is Mr. Neer- gaard, the premier, and the fact that he is to be at the head of affairs is assuring that there will be an able and conscientious administration. The most important problem for the new ministry to deal with is the na- tional defense. If it meets this with courage and wisdom, the cobinet will win a high place in Danish history. **2 ©& interior, Klaus A great missionary meeting was held at. Stockholm this month before the departure of missionaries C. Jarn- er, H. Anderson and N. Viklund for heathen lands. The meeting was un- der the auspices of the Evangelical society and was held in the Blasie- holm church. Addresses were made by Prof. Kolmodin and the departing missionaries and the occasion was im- pressive. A generous collection was taken up for the benefit of heathen missions.

Nothing Would Help Him—Mother Al- most in Despair—Owes Quick Cure to Cuticura. “Several months ago, my little boy began to break out with itching sores. I doctored him, but as soon as I got them healed up in one place they would break out in another. I was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti- cura Ointment, and after using them three times, the sores commenced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body. They have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuticura Reme- dies are the best I have ever tried, and I shall highly recommend them to any one who is suffering likewise. Mrs. William Geeding, 102 Washing- ton St., Attica, Ind., July 22, 1907.” * ENGLISH SPARROW CLUB. its Mission Is to Rid the Country of the Pest. In Essex, England, the Elsenham Sparrow club flourishes. It holds a meeting and dinner once a year, at which time the members give an ac- count of their efforts toward keeping down the sparrow pest. Its president, Walter Gilbey, describes its work as follows: “All the farmers and most of those who have gardens in the parish, which covers 1,830 acres, and some tenants of neighboring farms belong to the club, which was established seventeen years ago. The rules are very simple: Each member under- takes to kill one sparrow for each acre of his holding between Septem- ber 1 and May 1, and sends the heads to the local innkeeper, who keeps a record of them. If the member’s tally falls short of the total he ought to send he is fined 1d. for each head lacking, the money going to a fund which is spent in refreshments at the annual supper of the club held at the inn. The sum raised by fines, how- ever, is, I am informed, practically nil. “Two sparrows an acre were killed annually during the first two or three years of the club’s existence, and the average number of heads now sent in is about 3,000 a year. In addition the members kill a large number of young sparrows during the breeding season, but of these no record is kept.” ASTONISHED THE DOCTOR Old Lady Got Well with Change of Food. A great scientist has said we can put off “old age” if we can only nourish the body properly. To do this the right kind of food, of course, is necessary. The body manu- factures poisons in the stomach and intestines from certain kinds of food stuffs and unless sufficient of the right kind is used, the injurious elements overcome the good. “My grandmother, 71 years oid,” writes a N. Y. lady, “had been an in- valid for 18 years from what was called consumption of the stomach and bowels. The doctor had given her up to die. “I saw so much about Grape-Nuts that I persuaded Grandmother to try it. She could not keep anything on her stomach for more than a few minutes. “She began Grape-Nuts with only a teaspoonful. As that did not distress her and as she could retain it, she took a little more until she could take all of 4 teaspoonfuls at a meal. “Then she began to gain and grow strong and her trouble in the stomach was gone entirely. She got to enjoy good health for one so old and we know Grape-Nuts saved her life. “The doctor was astonished that in- stead of dying she got well, and with- out a drop of medicine after she began the Grape-Nuts.” “There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
