SOME TIME. Some time we're going to do a king ly deed, Or speak a helpful word to some lone heart; Some time we're going to plant the living seed In soil where it will thrive and do its part. Some time we'll stoop to help a wearied soul Which staggers underneath a heavy load; Some time we'll pauBe, while rushing toward the goal, To aid a brother on the rocky road. Some time glad eyes will speak the love they bear Because of favors which were ours to ehow; Some time in life's long day we'll gladly share The little blessingB which are ours to know. Some time we're going to stop the ceaseless grind This everlasting hurry-life we live. And be more loving, tender, true and kind, More thoughtful and more ready to forgive. Some time we'll cease to fret at little enres. And put away our foolish, timid fears; We will not look for pitfalls or for snares. We'll speak no gossip for our neighbor's ears. Rome time we'll only see the good in men, Be blind to all the worthless and the bad. Ami recollect, our own weak faults, and then Just strive to make the whole world bright and glad. E. A.

Of fur coats there is a bewildering variety and with a few exceptions they may be called conservative and practical. Fur garments, made of every imaginable kind of fur, are shown in great profm in and the prices demanded for some of these garments or garnitures are almost incredibly high. The coats in general follow lines much like those with which women became familiar last winter, though the cut of the coat naturally depends to some extent upon the use to which it is to be put. The fur motor coat shows width enough in its skirt to allow a comfortable sitting posture of the wearer without any falling away of the coat from over the knees, but the dressy fur coat is very likely to narrow slightly toward the bottom instead of widening, and its fronts are frequently cut away in more or less pronounced fashion. The fastening of this dressy long coat is still placed low on the left side most frequently, and some sort of big picturesque collar is the rule, but there ! are many exceptions to it. Extravagance in furs has grown by leaps and bounds within the last fifteen years and each year the prices demanded for really fine furs soar higher. The reason is easily found in the gradual extermination of fur-bearing animals throughout the world. Seal has not the prestige it enjoyed last winter, yet there are many handsome long coats of French seal, the genuine seal being now too costly to be worn except by the extravagant few. Caracul is still a favorite among the less expensive coat furs and moleskin is in high favor, and being as pliable as velvet or plush, affords the furriers opportunity for the exhibition of skilful workmanship. Combination of furs is a salient feature of the season's modes in both the small furs and the coats and it is rather exceptional to find a handsome coat all in one kind of fur, certain ermine evening coats and the rare sable coats, to whose beauty no other fur could add, being the most noteworthy exceptions. Moleskin is combined with seal, with ermine, with the dyed fox of soft taupe tone, with skunk, with white fox. Black Caracul is relieved by any and all of the dark long haired furs, by j opossum, chinchilla and ermine. Seal i finds a lovely contrast in ermine, but j is trimmed with the long furs too. ; Even the ermine coat sometimes has a j huge collar of black fox or white fox, I though it is most effective when used alone. Chinchilla is becoming rarer every year and before long will probably be beyond the means of any but the very rich. Fine sables, silver fox, seal, ermine, breitschwanz and other furs are all increasing in price as they become J rarer. Each year the makers of fashion take up some one of the leas ex- ; pensive furs and made it a fad in or- , der that the average woman may find j in the modishness of a fur she can bay I some come compensation for the fact TI 7T T My Lungs

tor. Do not delay another hour. Ask him all about Ayer's

that the best of the furs are beyond j her means. The most beautiful coats seen so far

this winter are the evening coats of : ermine and of these the importers

rar-jhave brought over some wonderful ex

-nar,e8!amples. As a rule they are in the all

white ermine with the black and white i used only as trimming, chiefly in fringe arrangement. The fur is supPle and light t0 a surPrising degree and is offpn intriatelv handled.

For all-around comfort and utility the long separate coat is still much in favor in Paris. The well-dressed Par- j isienne always numbers at least one ; long coat in her outfit and uses it for traveling by boat, train or motor. There are many new touches which the great designers of fashion have added to the new fall and winter models. For instance, the monk's hood, which is the long circular or square coller converted to a pointed and tasseled hood at the back, is one of the additions to long serge, ratine, cheviot or English suiting cloaks. This hood can really be used for practical purposes, the front revers buttoning over and the capuchin fully protecting the head. Buttons in large mother-of-pearl, tortoise-shell or brass form a decided feature in trimming the separate cloaks. Braid is used largely to stimulate buttonholes and to give a jaunty, military effect. Triple capes, double capes and large pockets are in vogue, while the linings of these favorites are serviceable and decidedly attractive. They are supplied with many ample pockets, and the wearer can rejoice in a delightful warmth as well. Some models show a fastening at the right side, most of them, however, button at the left. Contrasting collars and cuffs of white on colors, or bright colors on neutral shades are the mode. Some wraps or coats are cut on straight lines and others have odd little seams and deviations from the straight models. Little panels are inset, the line of the waist is clearly suggested on some, and belts are very much in evidence. Large revers are the features, and the pointed or round shaped collars at the back promise to decorate successfully the favorite garment. Frills and flounces play an Important part in the styles of today. Even on the most subdued models flounces appear on house gowns of all kinds. For afternoon and evening wear they are particularly popular. Bodices that suggest the Second Empire styles are trimmed with pleatings that form a basque marking the waist. A few are showing a resurrection of the accordion pleating. Flounces of lace trim many of the newest skirts. Double flounces, puffs and ruches of satin with fringed edges appear in place of a hem at the bottom of short afternoon frocks. The fichu effect, being so strongly pronounced, gives ample opportunity for the use of frills. Net, lace, mousseline de soie, chiffon and every fabric that is soft enough to lend itself to frilling to employed in these graceful draperies. Ruches and tiny frills trim collars and cuffs and border draperies on many of the latest imported gowns. Tunics of transparent material veiling satin or brocade evening gowns are frequently bordered with a flounce of fine lace, especially if the tunic be draped. Florence Fairbanks. Oame in Germany.

Tactics It Employs In Making a Meal of an Adder. The hedgehog is the possessor of tastes which, like Sam Weller's knowledge of London, are "extensive and peculiar." says the Scotsman. Scorning fastidiousness, it can make a hearty meal of nearly any insect and Is one of the vertebrates which can tackle the cockroach. For effectual extermination of beetles and crickets It is as useful as a mongoose among the rats, but it is not generally known that it has a partiality toward snakes and adders. The methods it employs for the attack are interesting. Having come upon the adder, it goads that reptile to the offensive and at the first dart immediately rolls into a ball. The adder is then left to attack the spines. In which encounter it naturally comes off second best. After awhile, when the hedgehog feels that his antagonist has exhausted his power, it once more opens out and makes a bite at the adder's back, thereby breaking its spine. It then proceeds to crunch the whole of the reptile's body by means of Its powerful jaws, and after that it is said to start at the tall and devour its prey. The armies of Europe used to rely on the omnibus companies as a means of supplying a sudden demand for horses, but this can no longer be reckoned on, as autobuses are rapidly supplanting horse-drawn stages.

HURRIED THE WORK.

Peculiar Experience of Turkish Lit. erary Man. Once upon a time a certain Turkish literary man living in Constantinople arranged to translate for a daily newspaper a novel then popular in England. Each day he reudered a sufficient part of it into the Turkish language to fill the space reserved for It. One day his peaceful home was entered by the police, who peremptorily arrested the man of letters and dragged him off to prison. No explanation was given for his arrest. The novel reflected iu no way against the politics of the state, and he bad broken no laws. He was not even given time to bid farewell to his family, but be was commanded to bring tbe work under translation with bini. Arrived at the prison, he was given pleasant quarters, good food and drink and sternly commanded to complete his task. So for several days the frightened translator worked arduously. When the work was done be was. to his astonishment. Instantly liberated and presented with a large sum of money. Upon further Inquiry as to his treatment it was explained that the sultan bad beronie Interested in the story as it appeared from day to day and was too impatient to wait for tbe end. He wanted to read alt the rest of it at once! Truly, there are certain advantages In being a sultan. STRANGERS IN BERLIN. Their Coming and Goings Always Known to the Police. "I had no Idea that they kept such an espionage over strangers in Berlin until a friend of mine had occasion to look up some one there." said a traveler. "We bad come up from Vienna, and as my friend was in the diplomatic service we called at the embassy. "While there be happened to think of another friend, an American, wh had gone to Berlin about three yean before to represent au American concern and wondered bow be could get a trace of him. "'Nothing is easier.' said the embassy secretary. 'Just wait a moment "He wrote a note and handed It to a messenger. " 'We shall know all about your friend wlth!n fifteen minutes.' he said to us. "Sure enough, within that time the messenger reappeared with an answer. From it tbe secretary read that So-and-so bad arrived In Berlin on such 1 date three years previous, that b lived at a certain address, that he had gone tbe week before to a little tows in tbe Interior, but that be was expected back within three days. "Well, be turned up on the day th police said be would be back, and w had dinner with him." Detroit Fre Press. A Sensational Prophet. One of the most sensational of prophets was a Rosa negro named Umhlakasa. who did his prophesying iu British Kaffraria. Africa, in 1836-7. His niece had met some mysterious strangers near a stream, and Umhlakasa, having gone to see them, reported that they were the spirits of his dead brother and others. They communicated a prophecy which rapidly grew. On an appointed day in 1857 two blood red suns were to rise, tbe sky would fall and crush tbe Fiugos and the whites, herds of splendid cattle would Issue from the ground, great fields of ripe millet would spring up. tbe Kosa dead would rise and live with their descendants, and trouble and sickness should be no more. Unhappily there was a condition tbe Kosas mnst slaughter all their existing cattle. And so 200.000 cattle, the wealth and sustenance of the people, were killed, and probably 50,000 credulous natives starred themselves to death. The Secret of Keeping The Skin Wringle-Free (From American Family Journal) The great secret of keeping the face smooth, wrinkle-free and refined in texture is to use an effective astringent when the skin shows a tendency to become loose or the pores to enlarge. The best thing of the kind is a simple solution made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch-hazel. Used as a wash lotion, this promptly tightens the skin which of course smooths out tbe lines and wrinkles and reduces too-large pores. Large pores, by the way, are responsible for blackheads, being so easily clogged with dirt and grime. The lotion referred to is therefore an effectual blackhead preventive. It is also valuable in cases of sagging cheeks and chin, the astringent action of course serving to "draw In" the folds and obliterate the creases. Saxolite now being sold by druggists generally in this country, any woman can make this lotion herself. The Lamp That Saves The Eyes Children naturally never think of possible strain on their eyesight when poring over a fatcmatmg book.
