While my wife and l were on our last
trip to Europe" said a gentleman the
other day, 1--WE met a middle aged lady
who was going over the ocean for her
health, and my wife and she became
great friends. One day, while sitting in
the ladies' private cabin, the lady said,
Let me show you my life preserver,' and
removing her outer skirt my wife beheld
a skirt that was a curiosity, if nothing
more. Running up and down the skirt,
at a distance of two or three inches, were
soft, flexible rubber bands about two
inches wide. They were sewed on at the
side of each band and ran all the way
around the skirt, and at the top they were
all Joined to a broad rubber band six
inches wide. At the top Of this band
was a rubber tube about two feet long,
and which ran up the waist in front and
was left resting on the top of the corset.
"Said the lady, You behold one of my
own inventions for saving my life. In
case of an accident all l have to do is to
take the end of the rubber tube in my
mouth, and in two minutes 1 can fill all
the rubber bands, which are hollow and
air tight, with air. Then tying the tube
in a hard knot 1 am ready for the waves.

We hear a good deal about a strong,

eight hours per diem, and about his hard

Last week they were invited to tea. 1t
was the first meal which many of them

quaint blue ana white cups and saucers
and the shiniest little kettle are pro
duced, and everybody has a merry ten
minutes over afternoon tea. The girls
take to their work as gayly as if they re-

sewing bees. They are interested in
their task, interested in one another and
interested and enthusiastic over theiI

An upholsterer in Sixth avenue has

more averse to Grape every year. One Of
the signs of the times is the disappear.

Next to a r~attlesnake, probably the
most unpleasant of all the animals in
creation to make q domestic pet of is
that owned by Pearl Means. Some
months ago a friend in Florida offered
her in jest a juvenile alligator, and Miss
Means accepted it. The little saurian
was duly forwarded, and has since taken
up a large place in its mistress affec-
lions. She attends to all its reptilian
wants with great solicitude, and it is
amusing to see the little beast-a yellow
ribbon hidden coquettishly round its
wrinkled neck-wriggling about in her
lap and waggling its scaly tail as she
strokes it's head.
The alligator commends itself for do
mestic adoption by one capital virtue
economy. Succi isn't a circumstance to
its starving abilities. During six months
Miss Means pet requires no food, and it
sleeps twenty-five hours out of the twen-
ty-four. The only inconvenience that
a possibly arise will be when the mini

Cows also are subject to this fever, and

What society young ladies can do
sometimes is well illustrated by the
career Of a Washington young lady.
She had lived in Washington for
a number Of years. She has had in
dependent means, and has lived nm
der the are Of relatives and friends,
having no immediate family. She
was well known in Washington So
ciety. No one ever would have thought
her capable Of running a western ranch.
To jump from the gayeties Of Washing
ton TO the back of a horse in Texas was
a long leap, and yet this is what this
young lady has done. When forced by
circumstance to go TO Texas to look
after her own affairs. she invested a part
of her fortune in a Texas cattle ranch at
"A time when such investments were all
the rage.
She found some time ago that her in
vestment in this direction was bringing
in nothing, and probably would be a
loss. AS she-was a fine horsewoman she
made up her mind to utilize this practi-
cal part of her education, and she left
Washington to take charge of her ranch.
She has Just returned after having made
u successful trip and demonstrated, after
IL year Of trial, her capacity to run sue

spent hours out of doors every day on
horseback, and for her pluck and cour-
age she has had the hearty support of the
neighborhOod for miles around her
ranch. 1t is a novel experience for her,
but as it has taught her the most inter

Going to school In the Pan Handle"
OF Texas-that little known but fruitful
region, almost as large as Maine, to the
west Of the Indian territory-is not 30
simple a matter a. it is in the older parts
of the Union, If we are to accept an ac-
count, which seems to be given in good
faith by a Texas journal, of a school
girls recent adventure neal the new
town Of Childress.
About ten miles from Childress, it is
stated, there lives a settler named Col
her, who has a daughter 10 years old
named Pauline. The daughter wished
to go to school, and as there is no school
nearer than Childress, she was allowed
to journey between her home and her
-scheolon horseback
Not long ago, as she was ~galloping
easily along over the plain on her pony,
she suddenly saw, crouching on the
ground before her, ready for a spring, a
panther, or American lion," an animal
which is not uncommon in hat region.
No doubt n good many ~16-year-old
girls, confronted by such an animal I'M
der such circumstances, would have
turned their horses head and taken to
flight. Pauline was wiser thar this.
She knew thai an attempt at escape
meant death.
Sh had no firearms, but she had,
hanging upon the pommel of her saddle,
an instrument which is very commonly
used thereabouts-a lariat or lasso. Paul
inc coolly took up the lariat, and, with
n quick and sldlful hand, threw it over
the neck of the now advancing wild ami
NAL. Then, with a wrap of the coil
about the pommel of her saddle. she
started swiftly along the trail, dragging
the resisting panther behind her.
Before she reached Childress. Pauline
encountered a group of cowboys, who
were naturally greatly astonished to see
the game she had in tow. The animal,
between his choking and his dragging,
was dead. The cowboys removed the
p%anther's skin and had it made into a
sacque, which they presented to the
young girl. The animal, however, was
first weighed, and was found to weigh
210 pounds.

Nowhere in the world can 50 many
handsome, tasteful women be seen as in
London during the season. OF course
some ara foreigners, and Americans are
generally am0ugths most attractive, and
it mu be remembered that the British
kingdom sends its fairest flowers to town
at that time; but the fact remains that
many English women know how to dress
well, Nor is it true that small feet are
an American monopoly. The model Of
Lady Hollands Toe is one OF the attrac-
ions Of Holland House. She is not alone
in her beauty. English women have
been careless in the matter Of shoes, and
shoes make a deal Of difference in the ap-
pearance of feet.
What l like in the English is that they
can't be bullied out Of their convictions.
Morris. Rossetti, Ruskin begin a crusade
against the Philistines, against stupid
ugliness, against blind alteration Of con-
ventiOnality. Women join their ranks
and attempt TO make poetry out of mil
linery. Some Of their efforts are very
ridiculous, but out of these efforts have
come Gainesboro hats and charming cos
tunes, making the wearers look like fas.
cinattng old pictures instead of fashion
plates. For the first time England is ex-
ercising an influence upon France.
Astheticism includes too much beauty

taking lessons Of their despised neigh
bors. If / were asked which women to-
day had the more taste in dress, Ameri-
can or English, 1 should say the English.

are striving to be individual. In the
chaf Of affectation there is the grain Of
an honest ideal.-Kate Fields Washing

Another possible triumph of medical
science over disease is suggested by a "a
per read before the Detroit Medical asso-
citation recently on Authorization in
Therapeutics, in which was announced
an important discovery by Signor Vim
cente Marcano, of Venezuela, in regard
TO the pineapple. According to Signor
Marcano there is in the common pine
apple n ferment or principle similar to
pepsin, OF such remarkable strength that
the juice of a single pineapple will di-
gest ten pounds Of beef. If this proves
true a new and important agent in the
treatment Of dyspepsia has been discoy-

are almost limitless, if it proves to be as
