ELIZABETH zANE.

This dauntless pioneer maiden's name
Is inscribed in gold on the scroll Of Fame;
She was the lassie who knew no fear
When the tomahawk cleaned on the far
frontier.
II deeds Of daring should win renown,
Let US honor this damsel of Wheeling town,
Who braved the savage with deep disdain,
Bright-eyed, buxom, Elizabeth Zane.
IT was more than hundred years ago,
They were close beset by the duslzy foe;
They had spent Of powder their scanty store,
And who the gauntlet should run for morei
She sprang to the portal and shouted, 81;
u is better girl than a man should diel
Ny loss would be but the garrison's gain
Unbar the gateln said Elizabeth Zane.
The powder was sixty yards away,
Around her the foemen in ambush lay;
As she darted from shelter they gazed with
awe,
Then wildly shouted, "Asquawr ga squawln
She neither swerved to the left or right,
Swift as an antelope's was her flight.
"Quick Open the doorln she cried, amain,
'FOr hope forlornl II is Elizabeth zaneln
No time had she to waver or wait,
Back she must go ere it be too late;
She snatched from the table its cloth in haste
And knotted tdeftly about her waist,
Then filled it with powder-never, ween,
Had powder so lovely a magazine;
Then, scorning the bullets, deadly rain,
Like a startled fawn, fed Elizabeth Zane.
She gained the fort with her precious freight,
Strong hands fastened the oaken gate;
Brave mems eyes were suRused with tears
That had there been strangers for many years.
From fiint-lock rifles as lin there sped
'Gainst the skulki.g redskins a storm Of lead,
And the warwhoop sounded that day in vain,
Thanks to the deed of Elizabeth Zane.
Talk not TO me Of Paul Revere,
man, on horseback, with naught to fear;
Nor Of old John Burns, with his bell-crowned
hat
He'd an army to back him, so what of thatl
Here IS to the heroine plumb and brown,
Who run the gauntlet in Wheeling town.
Hers is a record without a stain,
Beautiful, buxom, Elizabeth Zane.

If it is true, as most men assert
that all animnls must have crude salt
as part of their rations, and it is a
fact that all must admit that it is
extremely hard to find even salt water
inland, then why did not all the wild
animals or most of them crowd to the
seashore, where they could get taste
of salt water when needed. The salt
ncks" were visited. it is said, by those
animals that could reach them, and
many persons contend that the neigh
borhOods of these clicks were always
crowded by these animals: and yet we
do not learn that the seashore was a
sort Of "Coney Island" for wild beasts
In the early days when our forests
were oYerrun with wild animala On

Fashion Notes.

Brocatelle is a fashionable revival.
Double skirts, guiltless of drapery, arc
the rage in Paris.
Jackets for walking costumes are
made like dress coats.
Belts for wash dresses arc of morocco,
alligator leather and sealskin.
The carved handles and tops of coach
ing parasols arc things of fine art.
Beads of lead and wood are in much
favor for trimming waists, fronts of
skirts and nantes.
The latest wrinkle in handkerchiefs is
to have the border exactly match the
color of the dress.
The sleeve "cap" that is seen in por-
traits that were painted fifty years ago
are the present fashion.
Tailor-made bodices, of cloth or vel
vet, are what the women in Paris wear
with their lace double skirts.
Puffs oflace are worn a out the throat
inside he high collar and at the wrists,
and are very soft and becoming.
Short sleeveless jackets, with a deep
scallop in the centre of the back, are
worn with high or low bodices.
Vests for cutaway basques are still
popular, and odd bits of velvet and bro
cade of quaint design are utilized in this
way.
White mohairs figured with small de-
signs in color are among the pretty, in
expensive dress fabrics that male up
tastefully with trimmings and combine
lions of velveteen of the color of the
patterns.
Some new dresses are of colored faille
covered with overskirts of embroidered
net work. This net work is gathered full
at the bylt and falls perfectly straight.
In the back are wide loops Of colored
ribbon Of the same hue as the faille.
Both large and small girls wear pretty
and lawn dresses, with guimpe, |
round waist and tucked skirt, with feather |
in colored cotton or linen be- |
tween the tucks. A sash of the material
in the same way is worn
with the dress.
Young ladies wear pelerines of muslin
n etamine for out Of doors in hot
Weather. These pelerines arc trimmed
With some pretty fancy lace, with bows
II ribbon matching the dresses, or black
'elvet bows, making a suitable accompa-
liment for any dress.
The fashion of braces or bretelles for
'odices is again revived. It is very
'ecoming one to the figure whether the
after be stout or tlight The braces.
'eing wide on the shoulder and narrow.
ng toward the waist, give a look o.
elicate shapeliness to the form.

A New Explosive.

At Funfkirchen, in Hungary, ter
rible explosion has just occurred, in
which the inventor of a new sort of dy-
Mantle has fallen a victim to his own in

new explosive in America and elsewhere,
Just prior to the explosion he was en-
gagged in mailing up box containing a
consignment of the material, when sud
denly the whole blew up, unroofng the
house and burying the inventor and his

Ten Lives Lost Instead Of Eight-Divers
Recovering the Bodies.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July "A, 1ss6.-The
terribly calamity on Lake MnnetoDka Sunday,
whereby ten lives we're lost through the cap
sizing Of the small steam yacht Minnie Cook,
during squat, has cast a gloom over the
community here, as most Of the persons
drowned resided in the city.
The first evidence Of disaster from the storm
on the lake was found in pieces Of trimming
from the Minnie Cook, which foated in on the
waves at the East shore Of Wayzatta Bay.
Largo boats went in search Of the Inflated
little craft, but no trace Of her could be
found It was at last determined that she
had sunk, and that tho ten passengers-ex-
Mayor Rand and party-who embarked on
their perilous journey in such happy spirits
had persisted.
Later a boatman named James Carroll, who
had almost miracuously succeeded in weather.
ing the tornado ID a yawl, appeared on the
WayZata Bay beach, dragging his craft after
him. When he had recovered sufficiently
from his fright and exhaustion to speak coher-
emily he told Of having passed the Minnie
Cook just before the squan struck the tay.
He thought the party had observed the
danger, and was quite certain that Engineer
Macdonald had turned the yacht from her
course into the bay. The next moment
CAROLS boat was raised heaYenward, as If
lifted ont Of the water by some suporhuman
agency, and then he was enveloped IN spray.

that tho shrek he heard was that Of Mrs.
