savages Strengthening Deer.

Game Warden Taylor came in recently
from the lower country, where he has
been kept busy driving the Indians out
of that section. Mr.. Taylor reports that
the Utes have been playing sad havoc
with the game, slaughtering wherever
they could. He was very indignant
over it, and from his version of the mat
ter he has good reason to be. He states
that from the Iron springs divide to Vel
low creek it is impossible to travel a
hundred yards without finding the bod
les of deer lying around, and in most
cases nothing but the hides and brains
have been taken, the brains being used
by the Indians in the process of tanning
On Blue mountain and in the Lilly park
sections the rotting carcasses can be
seen, while on Snake river they are so
thick as to absolutely poison the air.
Warden Taylor estimates that since
the deer began to travel down the Utes
have killed between 5000 and 5000 of
them, and what makes matters worse
the major portion of them are does and
fawns, the bucks always remaining in
the upper country till later in the fall. -

"A Mistake.

These curious personal resemblances,
rise to the popular belief that every man
has his double somewhere in the world.
1t appears that the double of a well
known professor of the Rush Medical
college is hairdresser, whose shop is

of his likeness to the learned doctor,
carefully copies the latter in dress, bear

professor was walking homeward from
his lecture room, when gentleman, en-
tirely unknown to him, stopped him in
the street, saying:
"Follow me to my house. want you
to cut my hair"
The amiable professor, one Of whose
principles of life it has always been never
to withhold from fellow creature any
service that it might be within his power
to render, meekly accompanied the stran-
ger home and there addressed himself to
the task thus imperatively prescribed to
him
Lacking professional scissors, he
picked up pair of shears, used for cut
ting paper, from writing table in the
dressing room to which he had been con-
Quoted, and with this implement pro-
ceeded most conscientiously to cut his
victims hair down to the very roots.
When he had cleared about half the
skull he accidentally stuck the point of
his shears into the scalp of his patient,
who, springing to his feet in great pain
and wrath, exclaimed:

about? Do you call yourself hair

and dance till overheated and then
stand around near open windows. And
they don't seem to die. One woman
told me once, and delicate one, too,
that the excitement of going to ball
and knowing herself to be becomingly
dressed kept her from taking cold.
So, knowing this, l do not hesitate to
give a new ball dress which has been
duplicated already. 1t is made of apple
green faille and white Spanish lace. The
skirt Is Of faille, plain across the front
and sides except for broken founce
held In festoons by rosettes of rose COL
ored ribbon. The back breadths form a
demitrain. The corsage is of the lace
fulled on the foundation, and held by
two saber points of the faille, and the
same is done in the back. The sleeves
are Of lace. At the sides are paniers,
small but defined, and held by silver
passementerie with chain ends. Around
the neck is q ruching of chiffon. The
fan measures nearly three feet across
and is of silver gauze with pink flowers
upon it. The whole toilet is superb.
The duplicates were made one in old
gold satin, duchesse and black lace, and
the other in mauve and white. 1t is a
toilet suitable for married ladies rather
than for young girls.
Young ladies wear tulle, black with
embroideries In iridescent tinsel and
jeweled flowers. Some white tulle and
silk tissue dresses have exquisite sprays
of flowers done in silver thread, with lit
tie round balls made of swans down,
hanging by short strings to each flower.
When the wearer moves, these fly back
and forth as lightly as thistledown, and
look as light and fragile.
These delicate gowns are made with a
full, gathered skirt over one Of surah or
glace silk, with the finishing touches
made of the tulle draped on very lightly.
1t is pretty, also, made in any OF the
light colors adopted for this season,
viz, yellow, green, mauve, pink, dahlia
red, mode and blue. Ribbons are used
TO an extent almost unheard of for even
ing gowns, but they are out Of place on
those which have those little hanging
puffs. believe they are called "tosses."
Evening wraps are magnificent, far
more so than have ever seen them be-
fore. Gold and silver brocade or en-
broidered velvet, or the finest cloth with
out, and lined with ermine or sable, or
some other costly fur inside, and made
fluffy and becoming with full borderings
of soft moufon or richly wrought feather
trimming. These are for balls.
Extravagantly beautiful as they are,
they are of very little practical use, and
the great majority of ladies are giving
more attention to the modest but lady
like tailormade suit in shepherd plaid or
checked cheviots. The plain, SIN Doth
skirt, showing no seam, and the neat
REFER jacket buttoned up to the chin,
with its simplicity and severe lines, are
much more TO be desired, for one is for
use, the other for ornament.
There are some extreme styles in coats
