MODERN CoIFFUREs.

The increasing desire to rise anove law
and rule is noticeable not only IN dress
and its accessories, but in the matter OF
the couture. Few women dress their
hair nowadays to suit the features of
their friends and neighbors, but in ac-
cordance with their own particular cast
of countenance. As result there is
pleasing medley of styles to be seen, and
no one fashion appears to take the lead.
The compactly braided coil just at the
back of the head is popular with those
who prefer the trim princesse bonnet.
There are high-rolled coiffures in Pom
padour style, with glittering gem-set
pins thrust in here and there, low, broad
Russian coiffures accompanying the full
short bang over the forehead, Greek
knots with classic fillets of gold or silver
to bind down the waves of hair---a
special style seldom to be ventured upon
---tresses parted at the immediate back
of the head, waved on the left side,
braided in one broad strand on the right,
and then Topped low la chatelaine at
the nape Of the neck. There is also the
"Naomi' style, in which length of
abundant hair is loosely twisted and
carried around the head like a fluffy
aureola. St. Louis Republic.

THE CARS HOUND.

One of the striking figures in the Rus
sian palace at Gatschina is Peter, the
great Danish hound that stretches his
powerful form in the hall leading to the
private apartments of the Gar. This
great dog is said to be the largest OF its
species in the world, and was presented
to the Czarina some few years ago by her
father, the King of Denmark. 1t is said
that the Car took liking to the animal
from the start, and never goes any long
Journey without his company. Having
but little confidence in those about him,
he seems to center his faith in the dog as
a guardian of unfailing fidelity, and the
dog apparently reciprocates the attach
ment. It was reported last summer,
when nihilist rumors were rife and docu-
ments of a threatening nature found their
way to the very table of the Cars private
cabinet, that the autocrat of all the Rus
sias permitted the hound to sleep in the
hall adjoining his bedroom. For some
unexplained reason the dog became very
suspicious of one of the guardsmen, and
growled continuously when this man was
put on duty as sentinel in the palace.
Nothing could be shown and nothing
was suspected against the man, but to
satisfy the dog he was withdrawn from
sentry duty Chicago Herald.

KillsA Woman a Panther

Numbers of ferocious panthers have
been making themselves troublesome
among the dwellers of Hemet Valley.
Helmet Valley lies at the elevated position
of 5000 feet in the San Jacinto Noun
tains. 1t is heavily timbered aud the
forests in the surrounding hills and val
leys offer safe retreat for various wild
animals. Their numbers are limited,
however, and only occasionally bear or
mountain lion is caught preying upon the
large herds pastured i'll the Helmet Valley.
Deer are occasionally shot in this high
altitude, but their numbers are becoming
fewer each year. Wild cats and panthers
are still very numerous and do much
damage among poultry, etc.
One day, Mrs. D. NJ. Wilkinson who
lives on a ranch near the Helmet dam,
heard long continued squealing among
her drove Of pigs, and, suspecting some
depredator, hurried out with shotgun.
She was just in time to detain huge
panther with prompt salute of her shot
gun as he was in the act of making OFF
with pig. Mrs. Wilkinson, being
thoroughly Injured to the ways Of noun
tain life, is good shot, and she succeed
ed in dispatching the ferocious creature
without delay. It is evident by this
prompt action that the lady is possessed
of more than ordinary nerve in not be-
coming frightened at so savage an ami

PAPER AND WOOD.

We used to write in our copy-books,
':paper is made of rags" But paper IS
made of many other things besides rags
nowadays. In fact there are not worn-out
rags enough to manufacture the quantity
of paper used, and some other material
had to be found. 1t was thought as
tonishing when straw was first used for
such a purpose. Now variety of such
things is used, and must be, to supply
the demand for paper.
And an odd fact in connection with
this is that while paper is being used for
dozens of purposes formerly needing
wood or even harder material, such as
car wheels, boxes, barrels, tubs, pals,
etc., wood is rapidly driving other in
gradients to the wall in the manufacture
of the cheaper grades of paper. The
common use of wood pulp, which, by
improvements in the processes Of max
ing, is now produced at very low cost, IS
the cause of the cheapness OF various
grades of paper, which are much below
the quality produced before its use

sUsPENDERs AND BUTTONS.

A queer article of feminine wearing
apparel has made its appearance on Broad
way, New York. In general appearance
it resembles the masculine suspender, but
the initiated say this is an optical illu-
sion At all events, it is the most elabo-
rate harness that has made its appearance
since the Easter bonnets with fishing
tackle attachments. A broad belt of
gold braid is worn about the waist, to
which is sewn seven gold buttons cores
ponding to the wristbands of mans
trousers. The suspenders are also of gold
braid, three inches wide and fitted with
gold buckles. The idea originated with
a society belle who suggested that the
costume might be gotten up in part by
subscription. She intimated to her
gentlemen friends that it would be the
proper thing for them to each buy gold
button and have their respective mono
grams engraved thereon. She has cleared
small fortune already, it is said, IN
surplus buttons.-[St. Louis Republic.

SPRING SUITS.

Cousin Madge writes in London Truth :
Glossy cloth is the most fashionable ma
terial, but rough surfaces are quite as
fashionable as ever, while serges and
tweeds will be largely worn. Perhaps
the best way of assisting you to choose
is to describe some of the spring novel
ties. One was skirt of dark-blue serge,
with seam down the front, bordered
with an inch wide band Of jet, dividing
into two somewhere about the knee, and
leaving small interval between. The
jet formed a point up the front of the
bodice over fulled plush-velvet of. the
palest green. A similar point appeared
to bring up the skirt over the bodice at
the back. The plush velvet sleeves
were full above the elbows, but tight
and covered with jet below them. The
high collar was trimmed with bands of
jet, and the skirt was bordered with the
same. I have called the material of the
bodice "plush velvet because l know
no better name. 1t looked like mix
ture of the two, being very soft and
shiny.

SILK Innings.

The newest fad in silk dresses is silk
lining of contrasting color. This is
used so as to give the effect of two
toned silk, which will speedily be manu-
featured in the single substance. Fash
ionable wotlen are not satisfied with the
silk skirt. .They want a more substan-
tial lining for their handsome dresses,
and one that they will not be ashamed
to show in The trained skirt. 1t is quite
a change from the modest cambria sham
that search for pocket used to reveal,
but somehow it has come about. A
brown, satin finished silk, lined with a
satin-fnished orange silk, had the narrow
ruffles on the skirt bound with the
orange silk. It was also used on the
bodice and at first glance one was I'M
certain which was the outside of the
dress. Fortunately taste does not all
run in one channel, so the woman with a
moderate purse can still line her dress
with cambria and nobody but herself and
her dressmaker be the wiser Detroit

A smart practical joke has depend
ed many times for its success upon
the clever aud complete way in which
disguise could be carried off. When
everybody in political and literary cir
eles in the world was talking about
the wonderful Madame de Stael, her
movements were sometimes wrapped
in mystery. There was ayoung Ok
ford student who had met the fOrmid-
able lady in France, and report was
spread that Madame de Stael was in
England aud would pay him a visit.
The undergraduate was proud and
delighted and a party was invited to
welcome the guest. The chief social
function was to be a breakfast. The
day came and the company. There
was a brilliant gathering of wit,
wealth, and learning, and the foreign
visitor greatly impressed the throng
with her grace, atfabllity, and
shrewdness. Yet it transpired at no
long interval that the whole thing
was a consummate Jest, as bold in ex'
ecution as in conception. Madame de
Stael was not there at all An un.
dergraduate who spoke French like
native had personatcd her, and no
doubt laughed in his sleeve at the
compliments paid to his assumed
character.
In searching for something "new,"
a reporter borrowed the plumage and
the manners Of a racecourse blackleg,
submitted to arrest as a rogue and
vagabond at EPSON, and then boldly
mixed up with such other suspects as
were of necessity in one place, and
put his memory on the strain to re.
member the confessions Of confidence
men and welshers to which he lis
tened. There was obvious risk in
this trick. Such company will not
tolerate a known spy, and if the dis
guise had broken down there would
have been trouble for the rash in
truder.
