from the skin of the lion. When the lion
is five years old its name has attained
its full growth, and he il then

civilization. Next in beauty comes the
tiger. The graceful, cat-like neck, and
sleek, glossy skin, make a truly effective
rug-indeed, many prefer II to the lien
skin. The bears, and especially tie
grizzlies, are very popular. The whit e
polar bear is arranged in q very realist o
manner, with his great mouth open ana
formidable claws projecting grimly from
the soft fur. All these animals are dis
played with one quarter, one half and full
heads-that is, raised and stuffed in these
shapes. The last style is the handsomest,
of course, and the most desirable rugs ar Q
the animal shapes with the head arranged
as in life.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
