PICTURE HATS.

The large "picture" hats were much
used at English weddings during the sea-
son, and are finding more and more
favor over here. October will see a
number of fashionable weddings, and
at several of them the English fashion,
a number of bridesmaids in "picture"
hats aud pages to carry the brides train,
will be seen. The train Of an English
brides wedding gown is something to
be borne, indeed. Like their gigantic
wedding cakes, it has never been i'm
ported in its full length. Some striking
bridesmaids hats of the "picture" sort
were those at a recent wedding. They
were Of black lace, stiffened, and were
trimmed with white roses aud tied with
green velvet strings. Less striking but
prettier were some others at another cere-
mony, of white lace beautifully trimmed
with heliotrope velvet and feathers, and
tied with strings Of the same hue. New

Lion Tamln1 Ma1e EasY.

A certain German tanner of wild beasts
always entered the cage dressed in
cloud Hungarian costume, with large TOP
boots. The moment he appeared the
lions fell back in terror and covered
down in a corner, whence they were with
difficulty dislOdged. 1t was evident
that the very sight of him inspired them
with terror. How was it donel
His plan has at least the merit OF be-
ing original. He obtained lay figure
which he dressed up in the attractive
costume he was in the habit of wearing.
The very features were closely initiated,
as we're the proportions and build of the
man. The disguise was so perfect that
even human beings might have mistaken
the makeup for the original.
The figure was introduced into the
cage and made to stand upright, but
after awhile it was knocked over, when
with a bound the lions rushed with open
Jaws on their prey.
Suddenly they began to howl with
pain, and withdrew to corner with
bleeding mouths and tongues. The
manuikin was covered all over with
sharp iron spikes, concealed under the
brilliant uniform. Twice the tanner
tried this experiment; the lions did not
move the second time. He then COM
menced his course Of training, attired in
costume similar to that OF the wooden
figure, though he had never entered a
cage before. -Ysnkee Blade.

WHY FLOWING Is HARD WORK

While the work done in blowing may
not be greater, theoretically, than draw
ing a wagon by the same exertion of
force, yet the blowing is really harder
and expends more actual force, because
of the dead weight moved. It is easier
for man to carry load of any weight
twice as quickly, by spurts, with rests
between, than in any given time with
a constant movement. Let man carry
a bag of corn for five minutes, aud then
rest five minutes, aud then repeat, and
he will make better time than man of
equal strength who has twice the time
allowed him. Equally horse may trav-
ell fifty miles every second day and last
longer than he would if travelling TWEEN
ty.fve miles every day. And this is
what makes the difference between
blowing and drawing wagon. Every
little inequality in the ground and every
spurt of the draft Is a rest for the horse,
by which he is refreshed. But drawing
a plow is a dead weight without any
rest. The horses walk on yielding mel.

A Stra1qe Klentoman &C.

A man was arrested recently in the
act of stealing a pocket handkerchief
from a lady. He was formerly a we'll
TODD baker in a suburb when the mania
seized him for collecting ladies' cambria
handkerchiefs.
He would accost a lady in the ltrect,
and ask her 10 sell him her handkerchief.
II she refused he would get into a
temper, and bid more aud more for il
until he got it. Many women in the
neighborhool traded upon his ma lness,
and the man spent all his money in this
way.
After becoming bankrupt, about fv'
years ago, he begaa to steal handker-
chiefs, aud he was imprisoned for three
weeks about four years ago. As ne had
never been caught since, the police be-
lieved that his imprisoa nent had curei
him; but when he was taken he was
found to have some fifteen cambria
handkerchiefs upon him, which he con-
fessed to having stolen in one hour
He has never stolen any other article.
and every week he was in the habit OF
destroying by fire the common handker-
chiefs which be had stolen by mistake,
as his strange mania is liu'ited tc

An Ancient BirdIan1.

For ages before its occupation by man
New Zealand swarmed with great wing
less birds, which found here no carnivor-
GUS enemies, but an abundance OF vege-
table food. The moas not only existed
in vast numbers and for thousands OF
wears. but had such diversity of form as
TO embrace no less than seven genera,
containing twenty-five species-a re-
markable fact which is unparalleled In
any other part of the world. The COM
monest kinds in the North Island were
only from two and one.half to four feet
high. Those of the South Island were
mostly from four to six feet tall, while
the giant forms, reaching twelve and
thirteen feet, were always rare. I'm
mense deposits of moa bones have been
found in localities to which they appear
TO have been washed from the hills in
tertiary times. Skeletons on the surface
of the ground, with skin aud ligament'
still attached, have given the impression
that these birds have been exterminated
in very recent years, but other facts
mint 70 a different conclusion. Ira
dition seems to show, according to F.
NJ. Hutton, that the moa became ex'
tipct in the North Island soon after the
arrival of the Maoris in New Zealand-
that is not less than 400 to 500 years
ago-and in the South Island about
hundred years later. The fresh-appear--
ing skin and ligaments are supposed to
have been preserved by unusually favor
able conditions. Scientific American.
