Ia Many Iudirrous Mistakes.
The resemblance between Channcey

railroad president and statesman, and
Adam Forepaugh. the circus king. il
wonderfully striking. and Brother
Chauncey is frequently taken for
Brother Adam. and vice versa. This
similarity has led to a number ~.
ludicrous mistakes.
Last winter while Forepaugh's big
show WIS in winter quarters ia Phila-
delphia, one OF the baby elephants was
''rented out 10 the management of an
opera company, il being utilized to
give realism to an Oriental scene. The
opera company closed its season the
latter part of March. and the baby
elephant WAS shipped back la Phila-
detah.s, la charge Of the agent OF the
company. The elephant was left 10
the car, and the agent went down ~
the Continental Hotel. where he had
AN appointment by mail to meet Mr.
Forepaugh. whom he knew and had
frequently met.
Brother Channcey happened To be AT
the hotel at the time He had been
invited over 10 Philadelphia 10 din
ner given by the famous Glover Club
and when the opera company agent
entered he was standing near the desk
talking to one OF the clerks The
agent instantly spotted him for
Brother Adam,

Brother Chauncey. with a puzzled look

Hunting with Tame Leopards nc Dhsr,
Central India.

tehNFAi
The following account of hunting
with tame leopards. OF the species
called the cheetah. at Dhar. in Central
India. is contributed by Colonel Ward
Bennitt; We were staying with the
Maharajah OF Dhar. and one day he
said We should see cheetah-hunt; SO
we started ON horseback about four
O'clock IN the afternoon. The chez
tabs looked lovely and seemed quite
tame, following the shikaris like dogs
We went about five miles over very
bad ground, and Il was exceedingly
hot At last. 10 our delight. we saw
herd of deer about "a mile OF. and
we at once stopped, while the shikari
went forward with two cheetahs.
Presently one OF the cheetahs stood
still. peered about AMI lay down,
slowly whisking his tail from side to
side. The men said. he has seen
the deer Soon he got up again.
aud went after his companion,
and seemed 10 communicate to
him that deer were in sight.
Then they both lay down at once.
After IA little tims they got up
and began stalking the deer through
the grass. II was very difficult TO dis
tinguish the cheetahs. a. they were
much the same color as the ground.
Presently the deer became aware
something was up. and stopped and
looked about; then. suddenly. they all
got together. and began trotting of.
followed at once by the eheeiahs. who.
although far behind. gained ground at
every stride. and We could see that
they had each singled out a black buck.
taking no notice of tile rest OF the herd
tearing of in all directions. Luckily
they came toward u and we saw one
cheeiah give high spring. about tif-
teen yards. and seize his buck by the
throat and roll 1t over. We did not
look any more. we knew nothing would.
induce the cheetah TO leave its prey till
the buck throat was cut and the ami
NAL was entieed away with ladleful
Of blood. The other cheetah having
missed when IL sprang. gave up the
chase and came straight back To his
master with his tail between his legs
We were very lucky To see the hunt.
for find many old Indians have never
had the good fortune To witness one.
aud the Maharajah seldom allows his
cheetahs Ia indulge In this sport. -

Besides fishing up herring and bake
the poor people at the head of Bantry

In spite of all their lifelong labor from
morning to night, in winter and summer,
and in calm and in storm, these crofter
fishermen are in a state of chronic power

difficulty from the sea barely enough to

used the seaweed for the same purpose,

sand, seaweed, the refuse of house and

among the powders, these are the IL
gradients out of which, after years Of

Lemon Cultivation in Sicily.

The United States Consul in Messina,
in a recent report says that the we'll
known variety of lemon called the ''lu-
nare," or ever-bearing, produces bios
SONS and fruit every month in the year.
When, however, during the Indian sum
mer, rainy days are succeeded by dry,
clear weather, lemon trees of different
varieties Immediately put on bloom, and
if, owing to the mildness Of the season,
the fruit sets in at the beginning of winter,
it will come to maturity at midsummer.
Lemons are divided into two classes-the
true and the bastard lemon. The former
is produced by the April and May blooms,
the bastard by the irregular blooms of
February, March, June, and July, which
depend upon the rainfall or regular irri-
cation and the intensity of the heat dur
ing the summer and winter seasons. The
true lemon requires nine months to reach
maturity-from the bloom in May to the
mature fruit in January. There are but
three harvests of the true lemon; the
first in November, when the lemon is
green in aPPea5 7g g and s Pqt r fHlr gdf
they possess remarkable keeping quail
ties, and are admirably preserved in boxes
in warehouses from November until
March, and sometimes as late as May, and
then shipped. The second harvest oc-
ours in December and January. These
lemons must be shipped three weeks af-
ter gathering, by which time they have
acquired a yellowish appearance. The
third harvest occurs in March and April
This fruit is shipped as soon as gathered,
spring prices being very high. The uni
formity in size of lemons is due to the
harvestings from October to
March. Bastard lemons present well
peculiarities in shape and
their inner skin is fine, and
adheres tenaciously to the meat;
they are hard, rich in acid, and seed
less. The bastard lemon, pro-
duced from the bloom of June
L, is still green the following April, and
ripens only toward the end of July. 1t
remains on the trees over a year, and sells
well in summer. Besides the March
and June bastards, there are yet others
that remain on the trees from twelve to
eighteen months. The true lemon can
be left on the tree until the end of May
or the first week in June; but it inter
ieres with the new crop, drops off from
over maturity, and is liable to be
attacked by insects. The bastards, on
.he contrary, Withstand bad weather and
parasites, and they mature from June to
October It is estimated that four times
more oranges than lemons are lost in the
groves and warehouses. Good drainage

Riding habits are undergoing a great
change, and one which fills the heart OF
the man dress maker with dismay. La.
dies are now finding out that jerseys are
easier to ride in than the stiff ''habit
basque" of late years, and they are
adopting them, and riding skirts are no
longer made so tight that the wearer has
20 button them all the way up. The
skirts are now made a yard and hall
long and only the front breadth is gored.
The rest is plated in at the sides and
back. The skirts are two yards and
half around. The effect is thus fan
more graceful and pleasing to the eye.
1t is to be hoped, however, that ladies
will not run into the other extreme and
make the skirts so long as to be danger
Gus. The trousers will not be discarded.
Riding hats, also, are TO be changed,
and now, instead of high hats, or jockey
or derby, a wide-brimmed and soft felt
hat with long, sweeping plume will be
worn. It not infrequently happens that
the inside of a parasol receives more
decorations than the cover. A green
parasol is considered very chic if pale
