Dressy house jackets of almond-col-
ored or Roman-red camers hair. Dor
dered with cashmere bands in finely
wrought palm and arabesque designs
in gold. silver and mingling of bright
hues, are imported. These are made
to appear loose, yet are on a fitted
lining with darts and side forms ele-
gantly shaped to the figure.
Short visiting-wraps and small
visites, with cape sleeves that reach to
the elbow only, are made of black
Lyons velvet, rich-colored velvets. and
also magnificent Oriental broche ma
terials with gold threads interviewer.
These are decorated with Persian
lambskin. and also, for later wear.
with many kinds of fur, with muff and
French toque to match.
The new hussar coat is very stylish,
with its black silk passementeries
fecked with gold on the jacket fabric
of deep blue or Russian-green cloth.
Sometimes they are decorated with
aiguillettes, or tags. with gold or silver
points. The peculiar style of these
military coats consists in the superb fit
of the shoulders, the majority of them
being slightly wadded.
Among the new suitings are num-
Der of rough shaggy tweeds. which
are favored by those who like ultra
English effects in gowning. Preference.

striped and plaided. Most of the
draped cloth skirts are made all in one
piece, with the selvages at the belt and
hem, the drapery cunnlngly lifted here
and there to break the too great
severity of style. The bodice is still
like tailor habit in appearance. be-
ing pressed and fitted to look as if
nodded on the figure.
Colored linen collars and cuffs of the
finest quality are worn abroad with
these stylish costumes, and some OF
the linen sets are exceeding neat and
pretty. The color should be carefully
selected so as to set off that of the
dress, and the dainty little French
'.show handkerchiefs'' should match
the collar and cuffs in color. Trifles
like these make very great difference
in the appearance, and little atten-
ton to simple details is. well repaid.
The linen al the throat and wrists, the
natty kerchief, the perfectly fitting
glove, the carefully selected shoe and
hose, all serve to stamp the wearer as
a woman of culture and refinement

Cover in that little lot there had q
calf and bull that was coming two
years old. The other cattle were down
in the berry field. l was away up in
that rough lot you see near the top Of
the hill burning brush and stumps.

where the calf and bull were, and gen.

to quit work, when l heard the bull
below as though somebody had tried

the noise at first, but he kept it up so
long that after awhile l looked down
that way and saw the bull tussling
with bear. Before l could get over
the fence / saw the bull fall, and
heard no more of his believing. The
bear then turned from the bull to the
calf, which he had already killed, and
began to tear it to pieces.
"Of course l hurried down the hill
as fast as ever 1 could, and, whenever
l cast my eyes toward the lot, I saw
that the bull still lay there, while the
bear kept tearing at the carcass OF the
calf and devOuring the meat 1t was
between the berry and nut seasons. and
stock in the woods was uncomm only
scarce, and the bear seemed to be half
starved. He was so hungry that he
didn't make a move to lug the calf of
into the woods, and he kept tearing
and eating till got my rifle from the
house and shot him dead. While the
bear had been trying to make way
with the calf the young bull rushed at
him in defense of it. and he had jabbed
the bear so hard and often with his
sharp horns that the hungry old brute
was compelled to turn on the plucky
bull, but not until he had crushed the
life out of the calf. The bear had
broken the bulls neck and stretched
him out helpless, and then he laid into
the flesh of the calf, and paid no more
attention to the bull, and all three were
dead when l got to them. IN Y SIN.

1.-THE DUTY OF NIX. BLAINE"
A Pittsburg Paper Wants Him to Say Some
thing Definite.

A Pittsburg Paper Wants Him to Say Some
thing Definite.
PrTTsBURG, Pa, April 23.-The Chron-
icle- Telegraph to-day. commenting edi-
torially on Blaine's duty, says: 'In fair
ness to his party, which is willing to
honor him to the full extent of it's power,
it becomes the duty of Mr.. Blaine, before
the National Convention assemblies, to
make an unqualified statement of his in-
tentions, or at least, place himself in tel
egraphic communication with his friends
upon the date of the assembling of the
delegates If the Maine statesman could
be easily reached by telegraphic message
so that in the event of sudden nomina
tion his views could be at once obtained,
no serious complication would arise, but
if at the time of the convention he should
be upon the ocean, as 1t has been stated
he will be, or should be be still abroad in
some out-of-the-way locality, the Repub-
lican party would be placed in peril. 1t
has already been limited that there is a
deep scheme at the bottom of this whole
business. Should Mr.. Blaine be nomina-
ted aud final declination not be re-
ceived until after the adjournment of the
convention the business of naming the
head of the ticket would devolve upon
the National Committee. The gentlemen
comprising that body would probably not
be at all disinclined to accept the respon.
sibility. For one thing it would ensure
the continuance of political power to Mr..
Blaine's immediate friends, for these
friends are in complete control of the
committee. There is nothing particularly
disastrous in that view of it, except that
who ever would be nominated under such
circumstances would be certainly con-
sidered the choice of faction, and all
factional cries must be avoided in the
campaign of this year."
