Anyone who has observant1y followed
the bent of fashion for number of
seasons must admit that never before
III all the history of dress has woman's
attire been carried to such degree of
refinement, never has there been such
a variety of styles, garnitures, colors
and combinations. All ages contribute
to the general artistic effect OF present
modes, and there is one fashion or an
other to satisfy and suit all tastes and
ages; and any woman in these days of
progress, with helps and hints on all
sides, in the newspapers and reliable
fashion journals, and with the stores
crowded with elegant fancies both cost
ly and inexpensive, but always pretty
and dainty-any woman who fails to
present an attractive appearance this
year must be emphatically and lament
ably lacking in both taste and choice.
The present importation of street
and house costum mes affords most in
teresting study, and our modistes, deft
and practiced, are artists, wise in all
the subtle mysteries of color, and

A Tennesseean Captures A Lion.


Detroit Free Press.l
Forepaugh's travelling circus and
menagerie had been ditched by a
railroad accident in Tennessee, and
one Of the lions had escaped from
broken cage and sought shelter
in a low cow-pen near at hand.
Our train was following the cir
Gus and had come to stop and
most of the passengers went for
ward to lend the showmen a help
ing hand. The lion was the only
animal which got away, and the
men were calling for nets and ropes
and volunteers, when lanky sin
gular native, who hadn't had his
hair cut in a year, and who was
riding a mule even more homely
than himself, reached the highway
crossing and dismounted.
"Who's a lying" he demanded
as he heard the men calling to each
other.
"a lion has escaped" replied one.
ooh, that's it. Whar's he gomez"
Gliding in that she'd"
"Well, why don't they get him
out?"
eve are going to after awhile"
"Seems like a good deal Of fuss
ing over one lion. Lemme see
what l can do"
He unbuckled the hitching strap
from his bride and cody walked
into the barn and half a minute
later he came out leading the beast
and saying:
"Tried to scare me by growing
and showing me his old, yallel
teeth; but found it wouldn't work.
Here he is, and now whar' you
want him?"
One Of the showmen told me thai
he wouldn't have gone into thai
shed after the beast if a reward o.

doing. The manager gave the ma
tive a ten-dollar bill for his pluck
and as the man mounted his mule
to ride on he took another look a
the money and said: "Shool Tha

Self.Defense.

The following suggestive little
dialogue appears in the Home
Companion. A touch Of surprise
tends to fix the attention, and SO to
assist the memory:
"Doyou think it would be wrong
for me to learn the noble art of
self-defense?" a religiously inclined
young man inquired of his pastor.
Certainly not" answered the
minister. 81 learned it in youth
myself, and l have found it Of great
value during my life
