A woMAN's DREADFUL EXPERIENCE.

A curious and interesting lawsuit,
turning on the merits of ladies cosmetics,
has been decided in st. Petersburg,
Russia, in which respectable lady, the
wife of an esteemed civil servant sued
fashionable hairdresser who lives on the
Nevsky Prospect for breach of contract,
as evidenced in his failure TO dye her
hair, on the one hand, and for serious in
jury done to herhead on the other.
1t appears that Nine. Soosloff entered
the defendants attractive establishment
and expressed desire to have the color
of her hair corrected" declaring it con-
siderably in advance of her years, she
being still brisk, lively and only forty
two, while her hair was already silver
gray. 1t was agreed that the operation
should take place on the following day.
Next morning the lady took her seat in Il
large arm chair before an enormous mir
ror, and one of the assistants began to
rub her head and hair with o whitish
preparation, after which he took to
smearing it with another substance "of
vague, indefinite color, which caused
me horrible pain"
The operator, in reply to the lady's
exclamation, assured her that the pain
was caused by tho preparation killing
out the old color before imparting the
new. He, however, summoned the pro-
prietor, and the two whispered anxiously
together for some time at the far end of
the room. When he resumed the work
Nine. Soosloff, glancing at herself in the
mirror, was petriied to see her hair
standing straight on end, and on touching
it to see it fall out as if it had no roots.
Horrifed at the sight and maddened with
the pain, she started out of the arm chair
and rushed wildly into the street, where
she appealed for help to the dvorniks
and then went to the police station, where
the doctor moderated her excitement and
soothed her pain.
Some policemen were then despatched
to seal up the offending cosmetics and

1t is the fashion this year to wear mar
row bands of fur perhaps an inch wide
rather than one broad strip. Skirts, in
stead of being trimmed with border of
fur several inches deep, are now treated
to several rows, each one of which is
about an inch wide.
1t is very poor economy to take last
winters fur and cut it into narrow strips
for this winters use. The fashion of
wearing these narrow bands upon the
skirt is not u sensible one and will not last
more than season or two, and then the
woman who has cut her valuable furs into
strips will find herself In possession of a
great deal of very narrow fur trimming
which she does not know how to use.
If you do not care to use your broad
fur bands this year, put them away and
buy little of the cheap diminutive strip
obtainable at any large store. This
will do very nicely for season, and next
year, when the style of wearing deep fur
trimmings comes in again, you will have
your valuable stock of fur carefully
stored away in your cedar chest, ready
to be brought out for another season s
wear.
Good fur is an heirloom. 1t is prac-
tically indestructible unless eaten by
moths. Water does not hurt it, it does
not fade, it can be renewed when nee
essary, and, when once bought and in
ones possession, is always IA thing of
beauty and pride to its wearer. No bet
ter investment can be found in the line
of womans wardrobe than Il good fur
cloak, for when clad in it a woman is al
ways sure of being well dressed New

ROYAL AND IMPERIAL DANES.

In the opinion of the leaders of fash
ion in this city, the Queen of Portugal is
the most dressy lady in Europe. She
buys costumes, bonnets and hats whole
sale. Her pale complexion and auburn
hair permit of any kind of headgear,
and she takes advantage of this circum-
stance by trying all and every whim of
fashion. The Empress of Russia wears
everything small and neat, to harmonize
with her delicate type of beauty. Pale
blue, mauve, and several new shades of
green are the colors she prefers. The
Grand Duchess Vladimir is also very
stylish and elegant. She delights in
flowers, her favorites being chrysanthe-
NUNS and violets. The Countess of
Paris only wears round hats, and no bon
nets at all. Both she and her daughter,
Duchess of Braganza, dress in very
simple style, mostly in brown and black.
The Duchess of Chartres and her daugh-
ter, Princess Waldemar of Denmark rank,
on the other hand, among the most fash
ionable Royal ladies'. Both are, more
over, exceedingly graceful, and capote
bonnets in black and gold, or cream,
white or red, as well as combinations of
colors, are very becoming to them

forward them to the Board of Medicine,
which declared the contents of one of
them to be fused nitrate of silver and the
other preparation in which sulphurio
acid was too prominent ingredient. At
the trial it was proved that the lady's
head had suffered very grievously from
the action of these dyes. At first it
swelled to q monstrous size, the hair in
the centre and at the sides all falling out,
while the tresses that remained assumed
a repellant green tint and also began to
fall out.
The lady, whose closely shaved head
was covered with a wig, requested the
court to compel the defendant to supply
her with an elegant wig at once, and to
attend to her hair every day until it grew
as long and luxurious as before To this
the defendant demurred, and argued that
his cosmetics, which bore the appropriate
names of Blond Blond" and "Drops of
Heavenly Dew," could not possibly have
caused inconvenience to Nine. Soosloff,
who was suffering previously from some
skin disease. This plea having been
completely disproved, the court fined the
defendant the sum of $l5.

A BRAVE MISSIONARIES RIDE.
A Trip Across the Continent to Save Our
Great Northwest.

Three great commonwealths were
saved to the Union by the most
famous ride in American history.
The old Oregon country, now divided
into States of Oregon, and Washing
ton, and how it was saved by the bold
rider who crossed the continent from
the Columbia to Washington City in
the winter of 1S4l-43, is thrilling
story. The rider was Marcus Whit
man, fearless and intrepid mission
ary.
The early history of Oregon is like
romance. Back in 1882 four Flat
Head chiefs visited st. Louis in search
of the Bible of the paleface and their
presence aroused the missionary spirit
of the country. Various missionaries
were sent among the tribes in Oregon,
and in 1886 DIR. Whitman, with sew
eral companions, started for the vast
territory of the Northwest. In 1912
Whitman heard the boast or the
British that they would colonize
Oregon and secure it to the crown.
The Americans laid claim to the
same territory for various reasons
Capt. Robert Gray, of the ship
Columbia, from Boston, was the first
to enter the mighty river; which has
borne the name of his ship since that
date, May I, 1892. 1t was further
claimed by right of the Louisiana
purchase in 1903. Then again there
was the title by exploration, made by
Lewis and Clark in 1S04-5, and the
settlement by the ships and fur
traders of John Jacob Astor in 1901.
Whitman saw the necessity of urging
the claims of the territory before the
authorities of Washington and also
the need of rushing in American
immigrants. At the same time the
American Government was contem-
plating trading off the territory of
Oregon for Newfoundland and the
cod fisheries. Accordingly Whitman,
accompanied by Amos Lawrence
LOvejoy, a Bostonian, set out for st.
Louis in the month Of October. They
had dreary ride of 4, 900 miles be-
fore them, most of it through prac-
tically unknown wllds, and all of it
to be made in midwinter during the
prevalence of heavy storms. AT the
end of the fourth month they reached
st. Louis, and journeyed on to Wash
ington by stage. While undergoing
these hardships the Ashburton- Web
Ster treaty had been approved and
signed, but as it had only included
the boundary to the Rocky Mountains,
Oregon had been left out and was
still an open question. Hence, it is
claimed by the friends of Mr.. Web
ster that it is unjust to say that he
had any serious intentions of trading
Oregon for few cod fisheries. In
Washington, DR.. Whitman in inter
views with Webster, President Tyler,
and the leading statesmen of that
period, told the story of the English
plot to colonize and thus capture
Oregon. Little was then known of
the Oregon country, but the account
Whitman gave of the resources was
good seed sown that helped to
sSve the great empire in the North
west in the treaty made in 1886
Whitman also promoted migration to
the territory and the bands that went
to Oregon in 1844-45-46 safely held
the old Oregon territory. Whitman,
with his wife, afterward perished in
an Indian massacre.

A Paris correspondent of the Lady's
Pictorial says: The Apollo coiffure, just
introduced, is most charming arrange
ment of waved hair and tiny curls copied
from one of the celebrated statues in the
Louvre Museum. At the same house l
saw an excessively ingenious thing that
weighs about half an ounce and that is
employed to transform an ordinary,
everyday coiffure into smart, fashion
able and pretty evening one. 1t is
series of soft curls mounted on light
network, with few strands of curling
hair that come forward over the fore
head. This pinned on by two or three
fine hair-pins, and "there you are, don't
you know" ready for dinner or evening
entertainment, Ladies who come home
tired out from long day s hunting, shop
ping or any other fatiguing exercise, and
who want to look nice in jif'y, will bless
the inventor of the coiffure "rapide."

BAD TASTE IN WEDDING GIFTS.

If people would only take little more
care in selecting wedding presents brides
would not be so burdened with lot of
useless articles which, if they were to ex-
press their candid opinion about, they
would be glad to get rio of. Donors
seem to have mad desire to give all
sorts and kinds of spoons that are utterly
unavailable for ordinary occasions and
have doubtful significance anyway. In
selecting gift the taste and station in
life of the recipient should be very at
tentively pondered over, but too often
display is the first and only consideration.

you why they ure so called. The epithet
is said to have had its origin in the fol-
lowing:
One of Delaware's most gallant fight
ers in the war of the Revolution was a
Captain Caldwell, who was notorious for
his fondness for cock fighting. He
drilled his men admirably, they being
known throughout the army as "Cald-
wells game cocks" This same Caldwell
held to the peculiar theory that no cock
was really game unless his mother was a
blue hen. AS the months wore away
Caldwell's men became known as the
''Blue Hens Chickens" title which
only increased their respect for the old
game cock Captain. The nickname be-
came famous, and after the close of the
war was applied Unfortunately to all
natives of the Diamond State. e."-ISt.

A Hypnotized Horse.

j. b. Glanson, Cleveland horseman,
who was at the East Buffalo horse sale
last Tuesday, told a remarkable story of
a child's control of vicious horse. Said
he:
at seemed to be case of hypnotism
A farmer named White has very fine
stock farm about three miles out of tho
city. He is Il good horse trainer and
prides himself on being able to handle
the most vicious types of horseflesh that
can be brought to him, But last spring
he got more than his match. Somebody
sold him black stallion that was the
rst-tempered creature | ever saw. He
would bite and strike and kick with such
fierceness that no one could get near
him, and White was finally obliged to
turn him out to pasture. He thought
that he would have to kill him, but of
course he hated TO do that, for he was
really valuable beast. But he was no
good, for no one could get near him, to
say nothing OF controlling him.
"White has little boy eleven years
old, who is one Of the brightest out most
gentle little fellows that | ever saw. One
morning what was his surprise and alarm
to see little Ralph come galloping down
the lane on the vicious animals back as
happy as clown. He rode up to the
horse block, slid off his back, stroked and
patted his great nose as if he had been
the kindest creature in the world. But
as soon as anyone else went near him the
horse would fight like demon. For
several months the little fellow had a
good time with his pet, but as no one
else could control him he was sold to a
stage driver for S25 and the little boy
got $40 for riding him twenty-five miles
and delivering him safely in the stable. !"

"1here's something behind t."
That's what you think, perbaps.
when you read that the proprietors
of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
Of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of it !"
But it's plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. TO its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad OF of how long
standing. 1t has a record that
goes back for rs years 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer ?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like Or. Sage's Remedy.

One day sixty Arabs surrounded the
woods where there was lair and by
shouts tried to rouse the lioness. She.
however, remained in her hiding place.
Several Arabs then crept into the thicket
and brought out the whelps.
The Arabs, pleased at their success,
were retiring to their tents, thinking they
had nothing more to fear. Suddenly the
Sheik, who was on horseback, and little
behind his men, saw the lioness rushing
out of the woods directly at him.
He called, and his nephew, Mecaoud,
and his friend Ali ran to his aid. The
lioness sprang at the young nephew, who,
facing her with his gun at his shoulder,
pulled the trigger when she came within
six or seven feet. The cap only exploded.
The youth threw the gun away and pre-
sented his left arm wrapped in his bur-
moose.
The lion seized the arm and began
crushing the bones. The young man,
without a cry, drew his revolver and fired
in her breast She dropped the arm and
bounded on Ali, who fired ball down
her throat as she sprung at him. He was
seized by the shoulder and thrown down,
but the 'lioness, before she could injure
him greatly, expired on his PROSTATE
body. The nephew died the next day.
