Tourists Idea Of Texas.

For shooting, shotgun and rifle are
requisite, and English ammunition is far
better and cheaper than American.
There are no game laws except as to close
seasons, which are little regarded in
that vast wild country. For protection
a six shooter may be carried, except in
the towns, but should never be shown
unless for immediate use. when "'twere
well 'twere done quickly" or the other
fellow will get the drop on you. But il
a stranger avoids saloons and speaks
civilly, he need never get into a "muss y
and if you treat the boys white" they
will treat you "right square, you bet
your sweet life," and "will dearly love to
make you comfortable" asa Texan land
lady remarked to us. They will share
their "chuck" (food) and their last quid
of tobacco, and they may accept ammu-
milton or tobacco or a shooter in return
for services rendered, but do not offer
them money unless you wish to have
your hair parted; and, above all, remem.

Buying Exercise.

The appliances of modern civilization

But the physician said that she could
have her exercise done for her SO long as
she was able and willing to pay for it,
the only personal inconvenience being a
loss of time. She is following his direc-
tions. Early every morning she takes a
long ride on horseback, and thereby gets
as much exercise as would be obtained
by walking for the same time. Then
she goes to Russian bath establishment

DEATH OF THE EMPEROR.
A Horse which Carried Many Grand
MarshaIs In Military Parades.

When the military procession formed
in Fifth avenue en- the morning of Decor
alton Day, General Green, chief of caval-
ry, looked gloomy. In answer to an
inquiry of friend he said that Emperor
had sprained his leg and there was no
horse to take his place. Yesterday En-
peror died and General Green is gloomier
still.
Every soldier and Grand Amy man
who ever served on the staff of a grand
marshal has known the proud, intelIi-
gent Emperor, but there were out few
who could ride HIM. General Shaler,
however, at the head of his National
Guard division. knew exactly how to
handle him. He had virtually TO be
left alone. Any one who Jried to con-
troll him to any extent would soon find
himself on the pavement. Prouder

knew his business thoroughly. Stand
ing perfectly still when the various divl-
slons were forming in side streets,
watching them until the time for march

would begin to prance. Then, without
any orders, he marched along, changing
his step whenever the drum corps re-
lieved the music of the bands. When
passing the reviewing stand he made his
salute by gracefully prancing before the
reviewing officer, but Immediately re-
turned TO his ordinary step when the
reviewing stand had been passed. New

How TO Call Birds.

A sportsman at Baxley, Ga, has a cute
trick about calling birds. I. He says that
the whistle of the male and female differ
materially. AT this season of the year
the male birds are easily called up by
giving the call of the female. The male
seems to say, "bob white, "and the female,
.'boy see." The editor of the local paper
tells how this trick works: "By the
time he had given us the dots we were
out in the woods. Having secreted our
selves he gave the female call and here
one came right straight for US. Some
times they will come flying and pitch
close at your feet. We were out but a
short time and we killed five. Mr.
Barnes tells us that he generally goes
out in his buggy, calls them to him and
kills them at short range. He never
kills female for they will not come to
the call. Boston Journal.

DRESS REFORM.
Women and VOmen's Dress-No
Trousers Wanted.

1t is useless to peach trousers 20 the

present any j..st claihe % the suilrages

listing against trousers in the place of
skirts. 1t is simply an ugly and shape
less kind of drawers AMI when it tries to
be petty it is by adding rutfcs, piing
on weakness, the last dfoit of imbecili-
ty.
Skirts present difficulties which might
be remedied. The even suit of fine sum-
mer gauze or heavier wool, the corset
bodice, which shapes bat does not nee
essarily compress tie waist; the silk,
linen or cotton combiation-all these
have been accomplished facts for the
past ten years at least, thus providing
for all who chose to avail of them gar
ments which do not unluly restrain and
which distribute the warmth over the
surface of the body. Add to these
drawers reaching barely to the tops Ofthe
boots made Of the material of the dress
and lined or unlined according to the
season and the weight of material, and a
skirt in addition to lined or heavy
wooden dress would be entirely unneces-
sary.
The drawers in this case would be out
of sight. They would be as protective
and save the weight of skirts as well as
the divided skirt; but they wc1ld not
present an obnoxious appearance, would
not flap about the legs or leave an M
necessary amount of material lying aoout
loose and in the way. Such a dress as
this would not be adapted to the drawing
room, wherethe long gown is an element
of essential grace aud beauty, but II
would greatly facilitate many kinds OF
work and outdoor exercise and render

HugO,s Love for Children.

A hitherto unpublished anecdote of
Victor Huge will at the present moment
be of interest TO many.
During the days of the poets exile in
Guernsey an English lady, who had for
some time been living with her family
at st. Savior, near the center of the
leland, missed her youngest son, an in
telligent child of about 5 years old. The
boy, it aferward appeared, had strayed
from his nurse, and, wandering aimlessly
about, had grown weary. and had quite
contentedly gone to sleep in the open
air Vic:or Hcgc, on one of his solitary
rambies, found the child just awaking,
and recognized him as the son of a lady
whom he knew by sight. He hoisted
him on his back, and, greatly delighted,
cantered with him across the country to
his own house. A storm came on, and
it was decided that the youngster could
not be sent back that night. A message
however, allayed the mothers anxieties
and next morning tho boy was returned
together with profuse apologies, many
thanks, and a huge basket Of flower:
and fruits.
Upon being asked how he enjoyed hi'
unprecedented visit, the child said
Every much, indeed! NJ. Hugo played

DartmOuth,s College BELL.

4 new college bell has been procured
to replace The one which became cracked
this winter. 1t was cast at Troy, and
weighs 300 pounds. Engraved on its
rim is the college motto. Vox clamehtis
in deserto." with cora ct labora."
Some of the devices made use of to
take the place of a bell, since the college
was founded in 1859, are very curious.
Eleazer Wheelock, the first president,
endeavered to obtain bell from Eng
land, but was unsuccessful, and durIrg
his life the call to prayers and other ex-
ercises was made by horn or conch
shell, which, according TO the college
records, was blown by one of the native
Indians, for whose benefit the college
was founded. Some of the irreverenS
students of that day are said to have
been guilty of playing upon the words
of the college motto in reference to the
shell which called them to their duties,
pronOuDcing the words, "vOx clam anlis
i'm deserto."
A bell weighing less than 100 pounds
was finally got from some source, and
served for about ten years. During the
interim between the breaking and pro-
curing of another, the college exercises
were timed to the tap of bass drum.
The second bell was brought from Hart
ford, Conn, in a carriage. Orce after
ward the horn Was made use of. The
college has had in all seven bells, moi
mentioning the drums aud trumpets
The bell has to undergo a large amount
of ringing in the course of twenty foul
hours to meet the requirements o
church, chapel and recitations, so that i
is not strange that it soon gives out
