MILITARY DANDlES.

The Gorgeous Costumes Worn by Dudtsh
Officers I'm the Kaiser's Army.
I am writing now in the smoking
room of one of the three or four big
hotels of Berlin. Obscuriug my light
as he stands idly smoking near the win
dow is one of a dozen or more of the
officers who are loungir about the
room. He is a Lieutenant in the army
and receives less than $3.50 year. In
his wardrobe he has IA coats-we have
just been talking about new regula-
tions-and they cost considerably more
than a thousand dollars.
His hair is parted with mathematical
nicely on top and behind, and brushes
forward over the ears. The mustache
is waxed upward and single glass is
held in the left eye. The collar of his
jacket is so high that his face slants
backward. Around the collar is silver
embroidery, which descends on the
shoulders. The coat or jacket is of huz-
Ear pattern, with a brilliant lacing of
silver bars acroH the front. The YER
teal seams of tie jacket are also traced
with silver. 1t clings with the snug
ness of a glove over pair of perfectly
fitting corsets. The waist is as round
and symmetrical as that of any girl in
New York, and, there is not tailor
made gown on Fifth avenue that is as
free from wrinkles as this modern war
rior's jacket. a..
The silver embroidery on the back
of the jacket is scarcely less elaborate
than that on front, It would be i'm
possible to wear such profusely-
decorated garment without corsets.
The breaches look like tights. They
fit as snugly as q stockinet bathing
suit after q plunge, and their material
Is white corduroy a sharp contrast to
the brilliant sky blue of the jacket, re-
lieved at the wrist and collar by the
brightest scarlet. Patent-leather
boots, with high heels and silver
spurs, come far above the knees, and
white kid gloves cover the hands. The
whole outfit shows the most lavish OK
penditure, and he Is q far more COR
geous figure than we ever see on the
stage, even in hurlesque, at home.

MURDER At ST. PAUL

A Pollce Oficer Shot Dead and No Glow
Left to tho Assassin.
/ A few nights ago the policemen on the
various beats on st. Anthony Hill, in St.
Paul, heard the report of a pistol coming
from the direction Of Virginia and Summit
avenues. Those who heard it Immediately
made their way toward that section of the
hill, but failed to find any thing suspicious.
The policeman on Virginia avenue, Officer
Henson, could not be found, however, and
this fact set the officers to searching for
him. After three hours the missing man
was found lying stone dead with bullet
wound just below the right eye. In the
dead mans hand was grasped his revolver
at half-cock, and he wore his rubber coat
The bullet which had caused his death had
shattered the right eye. It was conlect,
ured that Henson was killed by burglars
whom he was probably trying to capture. {

ELEPHANTS FEET.
How They Are Trimmed BY tho Attaches
of Menageries.

How They Are Trimmed BY the Attaches
of Menageries.
The operation of trimming the feet
of circus elephants has to be performed
three times a year-once on the road,
once in the fall and again in the
spring.
The sole of the elephants foot is
heavily covered with thick, horny
substance of material similar to the
three toe-nails upon each foot, and as
it grows thicker and thicker, it tends
to contract and crack, often tanning the
animal. When the work of trimming
is undertaken, the elephant stands up
on three legs and places the foot to be
operated upon across a big tub. Two
men hold the leg down, and one stands
at the animals head to prevent him
from turning. Then the chief oper-
ator, with a two-foot drawing-knife,
proceeds to shave off great pieces of
horn from the sole of the foot. Shay
ings of horn six inches by four and a
quarter of an inch thick are rapidly
cut, the edges of the foot being care
fully trimmed. Often pieces of glass,
wire, nails, ETC., which have been
picked up during street parades. are
found imbedded in the foot. Some
times these irritating objects work up
into the leg and produce a restoring
sore. -.
When the feet of the elephant Pallas
were trimmed, at Bridgeport, some
time ago, large nail was found i'm
bedded in the foot, ove- three inches
from the bottom. It was pulled out,
and the wound syringed with warm
water and covered with tar. Pallas
apparently suffered great pain, but
seemed to know that the operation
would give relief. He held the foot
high and quietly of his own accord un-
til all were finished, then hourished
his trunk, and expressed almost in
words his sincere thanks. ftsas
After pairing the foot, each toe-nail
is cut between and then filed down.
giving each foot white, clean look,
with its settings Of polished nails. II
takes six hours to finish dressing an
elephant feet, and it is said to be one
Of the hardest bits Of work the men
have to do. - Golden Days.
