How She Saved Her Masters Life When

You have all heard of Wilmington
and his cat, and l am sure you enjoyed
the story of the poor prentice boy and
his one pet. So now l will tell you of
another good old English puss. There
are many stories Of faithful, noble
hearted dogs saving their masters
lives; but we do rot expect q cat to
help US, because she is so much weaker
than a dog. Therefore, | want You to
admire this dear pussy the more; and
l want you to see the enrolling power
of love. For it was the great love for
her master which taught her how to
save him; and it's a Joy to think how
well her unwearied efforts succeeded.
She was a city cat, used to climbing
high walls, and taking her walks over
the roofs, for she was born in London.

There will be nc, abatement in the
rage for lace dressesthe coming season,
and besides the. regular piece lace,
with edgings, to- match, which Lave
hitherto formed these elegant and airy
toilets, are added lace-robe suits inn
ported in boxes, colored inpale yellow,
nuns gray, ecru, coffee color, golden
brown and black. A new model among
lace toilets recently designed shows an
extremely graceful dress made wholly
of Valenciennes louncing lace thirty
eight inches. deep, this wide edging so
deftly arranged and manipulated as to
form the skirt and drapery entire,
without putting scissors into the rich
fabric. The bodice portion was made
of net and lace combined, the center
parts, front and back, Laid in flat plaits
which diminished to a point just at the
belt line. Amber, Isabella yellow,
primrose and daffodil yellow, eoqHelicot
or poppy red, heliotrope, pale gray.
rose pink and pure white, in surah or
satin, will all be used for princesse slips
to black lace dresses; but first choice is
given by many well-dressed women to
slips of black surah. In this case the
dress car be worn with many different
colored' flowers and ribbons, a matter
impossible if the slip be of a brilliant
red, or any other gay color. A lace
dress entirely in black a also be worn
| upon more occasions, and also will not
bear It's date so soon as one more gayly
lined.
The new Russian vests and Moliere
waistcoats have narrow strips Of velvet
or special bands of silk cord or beaded
applique, laid diagonatly across the
plaits all the way down; and gay rib
bons across the blouse vests, binding
the full drapings just below the waist
line, finishing in . graceful shower of
loops and ends which fall over the
tunic upon very elegant and costly toll
cts of satin, Lyons silk, JaiUe or sum-
mer broche in pale lovely-tinted de-
signs; the waistcoats are cut con-
siderably longer than upon other
costumes, being fashioned after
the old Continental models, with
wide pocket flaps set several inches
below the waist on the side, the
whole vest being richly decorated with
shaded embroidery, appliques in velvet
or beading OF an elaborate silk arrasene
embroidery. Half vests Of deep-colored
velvet, matching other garnitures, upon
the costume are Of broad triangular
shape, starting from the collar-band,
and fitting in the opening of a cut-away
jacket, OF natty basque bodice, the
edges of this jaunty short coat finished
with revers of the velvet decorated half
their graduated length with large cost

as the country people SAID, when they
turned against Richard III. in their
horror and indignation at the murder
of the little princes in the Tower. In
this feeling Sir Henry Wyatt fully,
shared. He longed to overturn the
cruel tyrant, and bring back the red
rose of Lancaster. Many of the great
men in England were Of the same
mind: But their first attempt failed;
Buckingham, their leader, was defeat
ed at Shrewsbury, while Sir Henry
Wyatt was imprisoned in the Tower
and left to starve.
Now think what that means. Think
what it must have been to find himself
SHUT up in that grim old fortress, be-
hind stone walls, eleven feet thick.
When he looked through the iron
barred window of his prison at the
battlemented wall beyond, and heard
the clang of the heavy portcuflis, even
his brave heart must have sunk like
lead. For who would reach him there?
A. the dull, dark wintry days closed
in, the pains of hunger grew sharper,
and he knew that the cruel Richard,
the "hog'' as the country people called
him in their hatred and contempt, in.
tended to starve him to death. But
that lofty wall of stone could not keep
out the dark.ringed tabby cat, whs
loved him SO we'll. =.
Now, you must fancy here in the
frosty winter nights, when cats love to
roam, creeping, unnoticed, over those
dreary roofs, watching the iron-barred
windows, until she caught sight of her
masters face. Well, cats at least can
climb. She got upon his window-sill,
and how she must have purred in the
delight of finding him again! Sir Hem.
~ was 80 thin and changed, that eveaI
his cat knew that he was starving. So
she went to the nearest dovecote and
caught q pigeon, which she brought in
her mouth and dropped through the
iron bars Of the window.
With what gratitude the poor fam
ishing prisoner must have devoured it!
And then puss returned the next day
with another pigeon in her MOUTH. and
SO. she kept him alive.
Think of her unwearied love-. for sho

find Sir Henry in his prison. But at
that time the Kings. Of England lived
in the keep Of the Tower. and held.
their court there's The keep is the
strong old tower in the middle of the
%inclosure, where the prisonerswere kept
So. that the palace and the prison were.
under the same guard. Most likely
Sir. Henry Wyatt had been a gentle-
man of the court, and had left his cat
in, some part of the, vast Notifications,
gateways, walls and towers, which
make pwhat we call the great Tower
Of London. So it came to pass that
the cruel purpose Of this wicked King
in the heart of his strongest fortress,
in. the midst of his bravest guards. was
defeated by the. love and perseverance
i Of a pussy.
Among the small things, and tho
things which, are despised,. but with

Elephantine Dentistry.

Successful dentistry upon an elephant
has been performed in Paris. The ele-
plant had an ulcer at the root of his
left tusk. In the human subject thus
afflicted the tooth is general drawn,
but it is not considered advisable to
draw the tusks of the elephant. The
ulcer was cut out by the dentist, as
sisted by twenty men. Du ring the OPP

ONE of the most surprising things
OF late is the way the estate OF the
late Senator Miller inventories. That
gentleman was set down as many
times a millionaire. His connection
with the Alaska Fur Seal Company
was supposed to have yielded him an
enormous yearly revenue. Whether
il did or no his assets will not foot up
much more than couple OF hundred
thousand dollars. 1t is very much
the fashion nowadays to exaggerate
the wealth OF those who are promi-
nently in the public eye. Occasion
ally, as in the case OF VIM. IL. Van
derbilt, the facts come quite up to
the estimate, but such instances are
very rare

Our Republican friends are thor
oughly experienced in the art known
~ whistling in passing through
graveyard" This device only differs
from Dutch courage in its accessories,
the circumstances attending the crea-
ton of the latter condition being lar
more agreeable, involving coplous
libations Of schnapps and other
blood-heating juices of grape, corn,
rye. or barley. In California they,
until recently, were deluding them
selves with the idea that they had
an easy vistory ahead. The result OF
the Oregon election has rudely shak-
en- them out of this FOOLS Paradise.
II was the confident expectation that
the large extra immigration to Ore
gon would assure the Republicans a
handsome majority in that state
We were told that the immigrants
were Republicans two TO one, ana we
have heard much of this kind oil talk
in Los Angeles. Very likely tins as
sumption was untrue, at least in part,
but the immigrant when he arrived
in the Webfoot State simply chose TO
exercise his inalienable right to do as
he pleased, and he has surprised those
who reposed their faith in him by vot-
ting the Democratic ticket in surpris-
ing numbers. Oregon, which has al
WAYS been close State, thus seems
TO have protlted by the influx OF East
ern people, because scarcely any in
telligent, unbiased man can doubt
that the public veal is promoted pre-
cisely in the degree that the Democrat
ic ascendancy is secured both in the
States and in the nation. The cleo
ton of Democratic Governor there,
the other day, disperses into the gau-
ziest gossamer the notion that the
Eastern immigration Is cast-iron Re-
publican. The Eastern elections
seem to have the same perverse Dem
ocratic leaning. In California the in
dications point to decisive victory
for the administration this Fall.
Leading Democrats have identified
themselves with all the live issues OF
the day, Of which the rights OF irriga-
tors may be said just now to be one
OF the principal problems. The Dem
ocratic party stands solid as a rock on
the Chinese question, the Eastern
Republican press having thrown it.
self into agonics of indignation over
the fact that Democratic Collector
of the Port of San Francisco declined
to play servile role to the new Chi
nese Minister ut his recent landing Mt
the Golden Gate. Take 1t for all in
all, both on the local and the national
issues, we have seldom seen the
Democratic party more happily
placed for gubernatorial and Con-
gressional struggle than they are
now. The Republicans who are
dreaming OF walk-over are preparing
for themselves surprise of colossal
magnitude. They have tumultuo1sly
crowded to the head OF the political
board without warrant, and they are
destined to hear ringing in their ears
that scriptural refrain which runs
that "the first shall be last and the
last first" The immense hilarity
which pervaded the Republican lead
ers some months ago has been sue
ceeded by disquiet and hesitation of
portentous gravity.
