A Catamount Huntress.

Miss Susie Jones, daughter of Captain Jones, pioneer settler of the county, last week noticed that the dogs had treed some animal near the house, armed herself with gun and proceeded to investigate the matter. No sooner had she approached the tree than a gigantic catamolnt sprang to the ground. The dogs followed in close pursuit over tangled weeds and through the dense willows and forests of the Tuolumne for near mile, when the ami nal again took to a tree for protection The brave girl trudged on alone, with her gun on her shoulder, and on com ing mp with the dogs soon discovered his catship in unusually close proximity, but not daunted by his glaring eyes and ierocious appearance, took deliberate aim and fired. The cat made spring, but fell to the ground dead. Swinging the monster over her shoulders she car ried him home in triumph as trophy of her prowess. A friend sent us the animal, and we found it to be one of the largest of his species. The young lady hunter has only seen some fourteen or fifteen summers, and is native of our county. Modesto (Cal.

Heat Injurious to Leather.

The Shoe and Le0tter Reporter makes the following sensible suggestions It is hardly necessary to caution tanners, or boot and shoe makers, against exposing boots and shoes, or harness, or leather in any form, to too great heat, and yet at the commencement of each cold sea. son, we feel that the warming ought to bt, renewed. Probably there is no othel. one cause which destroys SO much leath- CT. It is so easy to warm cold feet. ol. dry wet ones, by holding them close be-. fore grate fire, or a red hot stove, or to warm up harness in similar way. that many who should know better are con- tinunlly doing it. They forget that. if they do not actually destroy the leather at the time. they are actually killing it,s life and taking the directost mode possi- blo of making 1t worthless in the next emergency that may arise. It is safe rr,Ie never to put leather where it is tot, hok too hold the hand comfortably. More than such 8 degree of heat will |, or(1inarily, quickly injure any kind of nnDer leather, md its damage to solip lseEher, f not 4o plainly appaFsut, il mono the lees deeid9q:

Fnshion Notes.

Coiffdres are as varied as ever,
 Cameoss are fashionable again.
 Street dresses for walking are all made short.
 Bangle rings are among late iewelry novelties.
 Feathers are again worn in the hair in the evening.
 Celluloid coral is always fashionable for young girls
 Gold bead or gold ball necklaces have not gone out of fashion.
 Both real and imitation iewelry is much worn at the moment.
 The newest fans are made of fine wire, delicately painted by hand.
 Square jabots of plaited muslin and lace are the most fashionable.
 Soft black velvet caps are much worn out-of-doors by English women.
 Paniers are becoming matters of course on full dress Paris toilets.
 Scarfs of India muslin trimmed with Breton lace are worn instead of fur.
 Paniers of watered silk or brocade are used on plain silk and satin toilets.
 OVerdresses or satin are worn with underdresses of plush, and pice versa. Dolman visites fit closely to the figure, and for the most part have elbow sleeves.
 Street wraps are either long sacques, heavy ulsters, or fur lined circulars and dolman visites.
 Masculine looking, rough gray mixed ulsters are worn, with rough gray mixed felt hats to match.
 A light rose pink is the choicest color for ladies gloves at this writing. Pure white kids, of course, are indispensable on wedding occasions.

A Comedy of Errors.

A solon of the Senate occupied the same house with a clerk of the same name. As both are modest, elderly gentlemen, we will call one Senator Bang and the other Simon Bang. One has modest little attic, and the other a handsome suite of apartments on the ground floor. Both gentlemen had ordered suits of clothes the Senator from Timms & Co.,, the leading fashion able tailor of the national capital; the clerk from little box of an establish ment that looked as if one could run a stick through, shoulder up, and march of.
 As luck would have it the parcels con- taining the two suits arrived nearly at the same time, and the stupid girl, not we'll up in writing, mistook s. Bang for
 epator Bang, and Senator Bang for s. Bang, and so served the clothes. The Senator is 8 simple-wayed old gentle man, and donned the common suit un- suspectingly, while the clerk, thinking the stuff be had selected made up far better than he anticipated, did the same
 The result was the dignified solon was refused admission to the floor of the House because of his common appear ance, while the clerk bloomed into a gentleman. So marked was his appear ance that a widow he had been courting for several years accepted him at once and named the happy day.
 Rut for the interference of Timms, the fashionable tailor, who, getting wind of his best customers extraordinary clothes, resolved himself into 8 detect i've, the error never would have been rectifed. As 1t was the poor clerk was arrested, with his bride, on their way to church, and the poor lady, so lately wed, had to furnish the money to buy off her newly-made husband. As it was, woman-like, she got comfort from punishing the most innocent man of the affair. She wrote the unsuspecting Senator sarcastic note, begging him to accept her husbands clothes, which he was then wearing, as present. - Washington Capital.
