"Oh, yes; it's one continual strug-
gle between comfort and the conserv-
atlve idea Of style, with the odds on
the side OF the style. I often declare
thatI will never again sacrifice my
comfort to such absurd ideas in dress
as prevail nowadays, but all the same
l find myself putting on clinging skirts
that hamper my movements, dress
that has q number Of yards of mater
ial trailing over the floor; my waist is
more or less compressed, but not very
much, whoever heard a woman admit
that she laced?" said a young and
pretty woman.
"And tight shoes and gloves, ard a

Taffy for a Dinner

Did you ever give d dog taffy? That
is what amuses Broadway loungers
and the noted white bull-terrier, OF the
blind mar on the corner. A wag and
the dog and the blind man and the
tafy drew % great crowd the other
evening. The half-masticated stuff
stuck in the bright animals jaws and
his fruitless efforts to bolt it or to get
his foot on it or to dispose OF it in
some way were comical and caused in
tense delight among his audience. His
dilemma did not prevent him from
Selling all he could get.
just as he had securely stuck
his teeth together a passing poodle at
tracted his attention and he made the
usual jump, the length Of his tether:
but his powerful jaw absolutely re-
fused to work. They had lost their
snap. The poodle stared at him with
impudent amazement, Wills the look
of pain and humiliation that passed
over the terriers face was almost hui
man in expression. Samson waking
up to find his hair neatly barbered
was nothing to it.-New York Herald,

THE HORSE WELL BROKEN.
How a Trainer Taught the. Animal
Not to Fear the Cars.


Jack Schevner; or, as he styles him
sell, "Poor Jack" had a fine young
horse which was shy Of railroad
trains, says the Portland Oregonian.
lie determined to break the horse of
his folly, and so, he told his man to
take the. horse out on South Fourth
street and hold him there while a train
went by. The first thing that came
along was an engine and tender, back
ing in from the summit.
AS soon as the horse saw this ter
rible object coming he began to rear
and tryto get away, but the man held
fast to him, and Schevner shouted to
him to hold on and to keep the horse
there. just before the engine came by
the frightened animal whirled out
across one rail Of the track and tried
to pull away from the driver, who,
with his feet braced against the other
rail, held fast. Neither would bulge,
so the tender knocked the, horse down
ran over him and killed him, while
the mali had q very narrow escape
from going under. the wheels of the
engine. All is we'll that ends we'll.
The horse was e%ffectually cured OF be-
ing scared at an engine, and the ten
der was soon righted and started out
looking for more horses to train.
