Mrs. Edward Tracey, the wife Of n
small farmer, living near Columbus,
Ohio, had n terrible adventure some
weeks past with a drove Of Infatuated
hogs which attacked her and but for
the lady's activity would have torn her
to pieces. The hogs, or most Of them,
had on that day been bought by her
husband from n drovcr who had
brought them from an adjacent county,
and it was supposed that the animals
were half starved and rendered dcsper-
ate. Mrs. Tracey entered the pen
where they were confined with bucket
of corn in one hand and carrying pail
of water In the other, when the hogs
rushed upon her. knocking the vessels
from her hands and nearly throwing
her down.
She ran 20 a small oak n few feet
from her and being an active woman
swung herself by branch up into the
tree, but not until her dress had been
torn TO shrcds and her limbs and feet
badly bitten by the bristling, furious
herd. She remained IN the oak for q
couple OF hours, when she was discov-
cred by n laborer employed on the
farm, who with much difficulty sue
ceeded in driving the still angry hogs
away, and assisted her TO the house.
She had lost n great deal Of blood and
was unable TO use her limbs for some
weeks. Philadelphia Times.

The Mystery of Second Growth Forests.
Among the curious enigInas of nature
which have remained unsolved to the
present day is the growth Of a forest
upon the lite once occupied by one
which differed in character from the
latter growth. Some have supposed
that the seeds from which the second
forest sprang had been lying undevel-
oped in the ground for a great length
of time, perhaps centuries, but the i'm
probability of seeds retaining their
vitality for such a length of time, and
under the conditions to which they
would necessarily be exposed, makes
that theory rather implausible; and,
besides, this speculation fails to account
for the origin of the seeds necessary to
produce the second growth. What
reader can explain this riddle or tell us
why species of weeds and grass wholly
different from those found in the sur
rounding country spring up wherever
the earth is turned, even if the point of
disturbance be in the center of grassy
plain 500 or 1000 miles from where
such weeds are known to flourish. st.

THE CONTRASTED THREE.
There was a gentleman in rail car
who saw in that same car three passen-
gers of very different circumstances.
The first was a maniac. He was care
fully guarded by his attendants; his
mind, like a ship dismasted, was beat
ing against dark, desolate coast, from
which no help could come. The train
stopped, and the man was taken out into
the asylum, to waste away, perhaps,
through years of gloom. The second
passenger was culprit. The out
ragged law had seized on him. AS the
cars jolted, the chains ratified. On his
face were crime, depravity and despair.
The train halted, and he was taken out
to the penitentiary, to which he had
been condemned. There was the third
passenger, under far different circum-
stances. She was a bride. Every
hour was gay as marriage bell. Life
glittered and beckoned. Her compan-
ion was taking her to his fathers house.
The train halted. The old man was
there to welcome her to her new home,
and his white locks showed down upon
her as he sealed his word with fathers
kiss.
Quickly we fly toward eternity. We
will soon be there. Some leave this life

Military Order ofwashington.


The Military Order of Washington closed it's
initiatory ceremonies last Wednesday evening
at the w. L. l. Armory after having added to
its roster the names of nearly two hundred can
didates The order of exercises on the last
evening were especially solemn and impressive
1t was the first time that the order had been
conferred in its entirety, as the assembly had
previously been disappointed in the arrival of
some Of their paraphernalia. The degree through
out teaches patriotism, humility, and, above all,
justice. The stirring incidents of its ceremo-
MES are calculated to awaken in every initiate
the deepest respect and admiration for the
noble manhood of the immortal American after
whom it was named. The ennobling influences
thus diffused and the amity established among
It's members are destined to secure for the order
a prominent place among organizations of
its KIND: The public memorial exercises
held at Albaugh's Opera House last Sunday
evening were without doubt among the most
impressive and successful events of this descrip-
tlon ever held in the city. There is a general
request from influential social circles of the city
that they be repeated at an early date. Several
ladies well known in official circles have been
particularly desrous of repetition, and it is
to be hoped that the assembly will grant the
request. The initiatory exercises incident to

THE HEAVY BRoCApE THE FUTURE FAsHIoNA-
BILE DRESS.
Madame Romero, wife of the Mexican Minis
ter, is another faultlessly attired woman, and
one who, while not devotee of fashion, always
keeps well ahead of the reigning style, choos-
ing rather to illustrate the tendency than the
mode. She said 81 am very glad to see the
approach of the heavy brocade 1t must result
in the most perfect simplicity of form, since
the large designs and heavy goods are not
adapted to confusion of drapings or trim
mings. AT recent dinner party was unable
to resist admring the appearance of one of
the guests. Her gown was magnificent bro
cade. The skirt fell in graceful folds to her
feet, while full demi-train swept behind. The
corsage was also plain, high-necked, and long,
very long-sleeved. The contrast was almost
startling, as every other woman was in deco-
lette toilet. Yet among the entire company
there was no more distinguished looking woman
than she who wore the high-necked brocade |
can see no indications of any decided change
for early spring or summer. Plain gored skirts
trimmed about the bottom and big sleeves with
pretty scarfs and great variety OF ruf1led
neckerchiefs and big lowered hats will cover
the style without going into details | most
sincerely hope that we shall not be driven by
fashion into any preposterous extremes again
We have been dressing with at least moderate

seems hardly likely that the Louis and Pompa-
dour styles will be able to cajole us from still
displaying regard for our comfort"

revival is going to be too strong for the good
sense of society. cannot see in them any in
clination toward increased simplicity or even
the retention of present moderate fashions.
We are going to have reign of brocades, full
skirts, pulled sleeves, small waists, high heels,
and all the accompaniments, including crino-
line, fear. The novelties imported here In
ball gowns will creep into thin summer dresses,
and, unless rigid English styles prevail once
again exclusively, finally affect the street
gowns. 1t is hardly probable that the invasion
will show any very pronounced result till fall,
and the summer girl will still haunt the long
swayiug skirt of the winter girl, but with all her
rutlies, puffs, and long waist elaborated She
will bring our great-great tgrandmother's styles
out In spigged silks and musins, and by next
winter we shall look more like our bepowdered
ancestors than ever, and there is no telling
where it will stop. Yes am sure that the

AMERICAN DREssMAKERs AND LIGHTWEIGHT
DRESSES.
The gowns of Mrs. w. ID. Owen, wife of the
Representative from Indiana, are characterized
by dainty grace that commands sincere ad-
miration. Whatever it is, visiting, reception,
street, or ball costume, the purest and most re-
fined suggestions are illustrated in the com
position of it. Mrs Owen believes firmly In
the encouragement of American talent and
commits the design of her costumes to Detroit
artist. In addition she is in constant cor
respondence with one of the highest authorities
among fashion writers In England, woman
who makes study of the possibilities and pro-
liabilities of the coming season and the evolu-
tion of styles Mrs. Owen said: 81 earnestly ad-
vocate that grace in dress which is only obtain
able through strict observance of the funda-
mental principles of health. Loose fronts
urapeu fronts, moderate amount of ornamental
tion and lightweight materials are most in ac-
cordance with my taste. But | realize that
within the coming summer and winter strug-
gle for supremacy is to take place between
such styles and those of the brocade regime
with its unhealthful train of ideas. Brocade
and poplin are so stiff and harsh In texture and
lend themselves with such i'll grace to draping
and looping that they are unbecoming to all
save few. l am advised by my London cor
respondent that the soft clinging materials are
bound to win in the end and 30 remain true to
them. They will be worn almost exclusively
during the summer with foot decorations of
puffings, ruchingss and ruffiing of the goods and
lace. Art dresses, / know, must hold over be-
cause 30 many women find them too becoming
to relinquish. am one of those who believe
that the majority of women will wear most
waists short, or secure long effect by bringing
the fullness down and confning it with belt or
girdle. There can be little question but that
sleeves puffed above the elbow and close to the
hand will be the favorites Plain skirts will
have an increased fullness in the back, and one
