FOR THE FAR SEX.
How Ladies Dress in Persia.

She wore a bright red satin skirt,
richly embroidered with gold lace; it
was very full and short, barely reaching
to her knees; loose jacket OF blue vel
vet, also much trimmed-this time with
silver lace; the sleeves were made OF
cashmere shawl, buttoned by about
twenty small buttons. She wore several
necklaces. most of them very massive,
studded with several turquoises. On
her head she wore white shawl, with
a band of Jewels round her forehead,
and at one side large pearl star: Sne
had on both arms at least dozen brace
lets-some handsome ones, some only
bands of colored glass. Her feet were
covered with coarse white SOCKS; her
shoes green leather with scarlet heels;
Some of the ladies wore bright red
trousers reaching to the ankle; but this
was quite the exception. They wear a
long veil reaching from head to. foot,
generally made of some smart print OF
muslin. ought to mention that every
ladv wore a small leather case around
her neck, containing some earth from
Mecca and verses from the Koran. The
faces of my hostess and friends were
much decorated, the eyebrows broad
ened and carried quite across the nose
Some had small designs tattooed on tht
cheeks. The hair is very long ant
thick, generally dyed red; it is worr
plated in many thin tails, twisted witt
god thread. The hands are well shaped
| but nails and palms are stained darl

A Curious Insect.

Don't catch that bumble-bee in your
fingers-it will sting YOU" said by
stander to q dentist with scientific
proclivities who resides in the coun-
try. Not bit of danger. said the
doctor; 1.-THE fact is that fellow is not
a bee at all, only fly made to resem-
Bile the bumble>bee very closely, but
differing thereirom in some point easily
detected by any one with a slight
knowledge of insects. He is a very
formidable fellow among the smaller
insects, devouring great numbers OF
them, but altogether incapable of in
Jury TO man. In fact he is one of the
beneficial kind, because he destroys
whole hecatombs of insects during his
short lifetime. You see handle it
without injury. 1t is born traud,
made to represent bumble-bees for two
reasons: Because it's victims do not
expect to be eaten by the lowing
bumble-bees, and its enemies are fright
ened away By fear of the terrible busi-
ness end of that insect. There are
many such cases of mimicry in the in
sect world. 1t belongs to the genus
laphira." "How do you distinguish
them from beesP" EASY enough
Bees have always four wings. This fel
low, you see, has only two. That give
him away. He is a fly sure to the few
who know that, but terrible bum BILE
bee to all the rest"

The Manistce 1snies 6 Standard ol
last week says; IA correspondent writes
that james Johnson, a hunter from the
south part of the State had u narrow
escape from the wolves near Spring
dale township, recently. One night
last week, he was chased In toward bis
camp by three ferocious wolves. II
was in binding snow storm, and pitch
dark. He had but one charge In his
rifle. The wolves were almost onto
him, when in very despair he fired ut
random and gained the camp. The
next morning lie found the remains of
a monster wolf with hole between the
eyes. Ii was she wolf and measured
seven feet from tip to tip. That lucky
shot undoubtedly saved the hunters
life.n
During the past year we have been
receiving, weekly, the Farmers Revieso
published at Chicago, by the Farmers
Review Company, and can vouch for
its excellence as farm and family pa
per. Indeed we know of no paper of
it's class so well worth its price AS is the
Farmcr's ReuieD. Every farmer in
this community should have it. 1t
costs but dollar per year. You can
have the Review and your own paper,
each weekly, for one year, for $3.50;
the RevieW being sent the balance of
this year free.
Next week the Osceola Outline will
be ten years old. 1t was the pioneer
paper of Osceola county, and has rem
dered valuable service in the work of
improving and developing that pros
porous locality. Here's hoping it may
live to celebrate the anniversary Of
many decades of existence.
