LOVELY WOMAN MUST DRESS.
She Must Take .'iFer Time Though the
House Burn Down.

She looked bewitching standing
there before the mirror in her ball
dress of soft white, clinging stuff. A
lovely woman was she, and the stoni-
est of cynics could not blame her for
smiling in admiration of her own
beauty reflected back to her in the pol
ished glass. As she fingered thus
there was a sudden movement Of feet
in the hall below She listened.
"Charley mustn't get impatient" she
murmured. Il shall not be ready any
sooner"
With puff in hand she was enhanc-
ing by deft touch here and there the
alabaster whiteness of the glorious
complexion. A knock sounded at the
door.
"In minute" she sweetly observed.
Tell Charley I'll be ready in just a
minute"
She was plying the puff with the
most engaging elaboration. The
knock was repeated louder than be-
fore.
Run for your life," roared a ROUGH
voice through the keyhole; the house
is on fire"
She was looking archly over her
shoulders to get side view OF her
queenly figure.
"In minute" she softly replied.
One of the golden tresses had es-
capped from the restraining pins and
hung mockingly beside the shell-like
ear.
Dear me" she exclaimed, petulant-
ly, cit does seem as if something must
be wrong all the time"
In readiusting her couture she dis
lodged some of the powder from her
glorious cheek.

Fire, fire." rang the distracted
shouts through the whole house.
an a minute, l say. l do wish
they would be little more patient.
Presently the damask of the fair
cOuntenance was restored.
Break down the door"
1t seemed as if many noisy men were
gathered at the very threshold of her
boudOir.
I'll he ready in a minute" she
called, in dulcet tones, tones that ma
ture makes sweetest sound and places
in the throat of woman.
The fire is right under you"
I'm coming directly"
With a last smiling glance at the
counterfeit of her beautiful felt she
carelessly threw a cloak about her
shoulders and opened the door.
Il am ready"
They were obliged the stairway
being burned, to carry her down a
ladder, but the triumph was hers.
Neither man nor the elements could
make her hurry at her toilet.-Detroit

A Queer AnecdOte of COrOt.

In 1917 Corot received the cross of
the Legion of Honor and in 1867 he
was created an officer of the same
order His father never believed in
his sons talent and his incredulity is
aptlv illustrated by an anecdote re-
hated by Camille Thurwanger in the
NeoO England Magazjne, as told him
by Corot in regard to this same decora-
ton:
"Whcn he received the cross for the
first time he carried it at once to his
mother, who resolved to have a family
dinner to celebrate the occasion, but
to keep the matter secret and turn it
into surprise for her husband. For
that purpose she placed the cross in
his napkin. She expected great aston
ishment and demand for an explana-
ton, but it resulted differently. When
the elder Corot, on opening his nap
kin, discovered the cross. his face ex-
pressed at first establishment. but i'm
mediately afterward he said:
i don't know for what can be
decorated. 1t must be for my services
in the national guard.
"He did not for moment think it
possible it was intended for his son and
he appropriated it to himself without
further ado. When his wife explained
his error to him he simply returned
the cross and began to converse on
other subjects with disconnected ex-
preston, and the dinner dragged"

Drank it Bravely.

A recent French writer on The
Revolution, the Empire and the Restor-
alton" cites an amusing instance of
what he calls heroic courtesy.
Percy, Lord Beverly, invited to dine
with him marquis who was one OF
the most valiant soldiers of the army
Of Condo. Wishing to honor his guest
and tie cause which he served, that of
the French king, the English peer
ordered his butler to bring him bottle
OF fine wine ID years old, "a ray OF
sunshine in crystal"
He opened it carefully and offered a
glass to the marquis, saying: IF You
deem it worthy the honor, will You
drink in this wine the health of the
king?"
The marquis tasted the wine.
"How do you like it?" asked the host
Exquisite" replied the marquis.
Then" said Lord Beverly, Finish
the glass; only in full glass can one
drink the health of so great and so I'M
fortunate q king"
Without hesitation the marquis did
as he was hidden. Only when the
Engiishman tasted the wine did he
learn that what he had forced on his
guest was castor oil: and henceforth
he held the politeness of the French
toward the English in the highest
esteem.

HABITS OF THE APE.
How 1t Travels Among Trees-Animals
That Dare Attack 1t.

According to the San Francisco
Chronicle it is a most interesting sight
to watch an Orang-outang makes it
way through the jungle. 1t walks
slowly along the larger branches in a
semi-erect attitude, this being APP
parently caused by the length of its
arms and the shortness of its legs.
1t invariably selects those branches
which intermingle with those of a
neighboring tree, on approaching which
it stretches out its long arms and,
grasping the boughs opposite, seems
first to shake them as if to test their
strength, and then deliberately swings
itself across to the next branch, which
it walks along as before.
1t does not jump or spring as monk
eys usually do. and never appears to
hurry itself unless some real danger
presents. Yet,in spite of its apparent
ly slow movements, it gets along far
quicker than person running through
the forest beneath.
Various stories are told about it's
huge dimensions and great height. but
| have never seen one over four feet
high from head to heel and from seven

finger across the outstretched arms,
the width of the face varying in meas
urement from eight to twelve inches,
though the accounts of larger animals
having been met with may be correct.
The tradition of the Dyaks is that
there is no animal in the jungle that
dare attack the orang-outang except
the python and the crocodile. At
times, when there is no fruit obtain
able in the jungle, it wanders down to
the rivers to search for palm shoots
along their banks.
Then it is the Dyaks relate how the
crocodile will sometimes try and seize
it by the leg and drag it under the
water and into the Shiny mud below,
but the orang-outang, according to
their accounts, soon gets the best Of
the struggle, and the crocodile is either
beaten to death with its powerful arms
and feet or torn to pieces.
But, on the other hand, it is seldom
able to kill the python, who, with its
deadly embrace, soon puts an end to
the great manlike ape of Borneo.

Birds in Tiers.

Three tiers of brilliantly colored lit
tie birds was one of the many pretty
sights | often saw in the bird-market
in Paris. To Tighten his burden, the
owner of these pretty songsters had
placed a great many of them into one
large cage. The cage had but a sim
gle perch-a long one, to be sure, yet
at best it could hold only one-third of
the birds. AS you may suppose, all
places on this perch were always in
great demand, and usually its whole
length was fully occupied by the tiny
warblers, crowded together in jolly
companionship. Flying about the
cage in all directions were those not
fortunate enough to secure seats,
and their antics in endeavoring to find
a resting-place were very pretty and
clever. Alighting on the seated ones,
they would wedge their tiny feet be-
tween two of them in an attempt to
reach the perch; and sometimes they
succeeded; but more often a second
tier of birds was started by the new
corners coolly getting upon the backs
of the first. A slight disturbance of
the center of gravity, however, and
all would come tum bling down. Then
there would be great cOmmotion and a
perfect medley of color, as ohe birds
rushed again, pell-mell, for the COW
eted places. Presently quiet would be
restored, and the two tiers of birds
again successfully completed.
But there were still others flying
about, or hopping around on the bot
tom of the cage, who also expected to
get resting-places: To perch on top of
the second tier was indeed a very
pretty and a very difficult perform
ance, as there was considerable Wob-
bling in the lower tiers, even at the
ightest touch of lowering bird.
Finally, with dainty wings and feet
outstretched in slow descent, bright
little acrobat would start the third
tier. But alas! the next bird might
prove a careless little fellow, and would
upset them all.
However, in spite of accidents and
carelessness, the third tier was often
finished, and sometimes it lasted even
several minutes before it was demol-
ished. But when the pyramid was
completed, usually some hungry little
chap in the first story, spying a dainty
morsel lying on the bottom of the
cage, would withdraw his support, to
the disaster and confusion of the
crowd.
Thus it went on, all day long-in-
cessant change of place and form and
color. Happily through it all the lit
tie acrobats were as merry as birds
could be, pouring out their liquid
music into the golden sunshine, joy
ously twisting and shaking their
bright little heads. The grand music
of old Notre Dame Cathedral. close by,
was not more charming than that of
this pretty feathery choir singing I'M
der the kind inspiration of soft June
sky.-Neredith N1tqeaat. IN st. Nicholas

HIPNOTtSM BY ANIMAL 6,
Otherwise How Gould a Bird be Charmed
by Cat?

The power attributed to the snake
and feline families of charming" their
victims seems to me past dispute. SAYS
a writer in Science. 1t is not merely a
sort of hypnotism. Livingstone tells
US that when at one time seized by a
tiger he felt neither terror nor pain;
all his senses seemed to be benumbed.
Bates, in his Naturalist on the Anna
zon." states that one day in the woods
a small pet dog flew at a large rattle
snake. The snake fixed its eve on the
dog. erected its tail, and shook its rat
tie; it seemed in no haste to seize tic
dog, but as if waiting TO put the dog
into more suitable condition for be-
ing seized. As to the dog, it neither
continued the attack nor retreated,
could not or would not move when
called, and was with diffiulty dragged
away by its master.
| have seen one case of a snake
charming a bird. but | had better
opportunity to study a cat charming a
bird, and probably the process is much
alike in both. The cat placed itself
on the outside sill Of ny window, near
to pine tree. A bird presently lit on
the pine tree, no doubt not observing
the cat. The cat fixed its attention on
the bird. The eats eyes were widely
opened and shone with a peculiar
brightness; its head was raised and
intent, the fur on its neck and about
its face slowly stood up. as if electri-
fed. Except for this rising Of the fur
and a certain intensity of life in the
whole attitude of the beast it was as
still as if cut from stone. The bird
quivered, trembled, looked tixedly at
the cat, and finally, with a feeble
shake of the wings, fell toward the cat,
which bounded to seize it.
A lady tells me that she "does not
believe that cats can charm birds, be-
cause she has seen a cat try to charm
parrot, and the bird. greatly alarmed,
scolded loudly" This proves nothing;
parrots Ill general, or, more probably,
that particular parrot did not prove d
good subject for the mesmeric power.
[ have seen people who can not be
hypnotized; they resent the effort,
and nervous action becomes intensi-
fed.
