POINTS ON THE PANTHER.
Some Mistaken Impressions About the AMI
NAL

Some Mistaken Impressions About the AMI
NAL
The mountain lion is remarkable for
its wide geographical range. In the
Adirondacks it is comparatively COM
mon, and known as the painter among
the woodsmen. In fact, it ranges both
continents, from the Straits of Magel-
Ian north to Canada. In South Amer.
lea it is known as the puma; in Califor.
MIA the American lion or cougar, while
the carcajou and catamount are other
titles given to it in various lands.
The American lion, however, is it's
true title, as it is the largest cat in this
country, and takes the place of the lion
here Long, slender and graceful in
its motions, hthe and powerful, it is
the type of agility and strength. and if
it does not possess the courage of the
African cat, it has quite enough, when
hemmed in, to give the hunter good
fight.
Specimens have been killed in this
country six feet in length, including
the tail and this may be considered the
maximum size. In such an animal the
height at the shoulder would be about
two feet and one or two inches.
A puma was exhibited in San Fran
cisco few years ago that was nearly
as large as an African lioness, measur-
ing four feet from the tip of the nose
to the root of the tail. In contrasting
the puma with others, it has been OBJ
served that its head is smaller in pro-
portion to the size of the body than all
other cats, except, perhaps, the leop-
ard.
The skull is about eight inches long
and five and three-eighths inches wide.
The color of the pumas is generally OF
a uniform reddish brown, becoming
lighter below. There are no markings,
except in the young, upon which there
are several rows of stripes and spots on
the back and sides.
The panther has been the subject oi
many thrilling adventures in books,
but well authenticated instances OF
these animals voluntarily attacking a
human being are rare, though when
wounded they make savage resist
ance.
So, too, the books contain the ac
counts of the roars of the panther when
it was wandering about the camp al
night. Properly speaking, the pan
thers cry is more of n yell like that oi
human being in pain, than roar
and, unless very hungry, it is silent
when in quest of prey.-Golden Days

troops thought we were expressing our
defiance. We had no time to shake
hands or to talk. The Virginians were
making page for history and already
rolling our first line back. There were
charge and counter charge, hand-to-
hand fighting, cheers, shouts, groans.
Men fell with the death rattle in their
throats; men sanlS down and cried out
and crawled about. We knew not who
had won until The breeze swept over
the trampled wheat and lifted the cloud
of smoke Then we swung our hats
and chcered us we saw the gallant Vir-
ginians in retreat. Heroes, one and all,
but,they had failed.
Sarge! Sargel Where's our Sarge?"
we shouted before the bullets had yet
ceased flying.
"Down there!" answered a corporal
whose left arm hung limp at his side.
Down there" was nearest to the en-.
emy. Yes, we found him there, dead
and cold, with half dozen bullets in
his body. He had come back to us to
wipe out the stain on his soldier record,
and he had taken the only way to do it.
In the old days he had carried two pho
tographs next to his heart. Now, as
we gave him burial, we found but one
that of his little Nell. We laid it on
his breast and folded his hands over it
as we covered him in. That, and then
we bowed our heads and whispered:
God forgive our poor Old Sarge and
bless his child forevermorc!'-Chicago

FASHIONABLE EAnolEs.
Fresh Suggestions for Feminine Followers
of the FhahInna.

OF the Fashions,
Very fashionable for dressy occasions
nre cream-white silk gloves stitched
very delicately in black.
The newest belts are those of several
rows of beads held together by bands
of finely chased imitation gold.
A new variation of the standard navy
blue costume is one trimmed with black
satin and white lace insertion.
Pale blue is favorite shade with the
Princess May, which accounts for it's
being just now one of the most popular
colors.
Fashionable blazers and reefers are
of duck, pique and linen sacl,ing and
have all the fit and finish of tailor
made garment,
Never was lace more popular than it
is at the present time. From thirty to
forty yards are used on single silk
muslin costume.
A cream-white jacket of cloth
trimmed as the wearcr may see fit, to
make it appropriate for the use for
which it is designed, is called the Eula-
liza.
1t is neck and neck this season be-
tween lightweight, delicately colored
woods and silks Indeed, at the present
moment the former are considered not
only more youthful but more chic than
the latter.
An easy way to freshen up an old
waist is to add a flounce of lace, falling
from the neck band in straight folds
neatly to the waist line in front, form
ing epaulets on the shoulders and COL
l., al l.
Among the very handsome thin
dresses are those of gauze brocaded in
flowers. The skirts of these dresses
are trimmed with valenciennes lace
ruches, and the waist is formed of
lengthwise puffs of the gauze sepa-
rated by valenciennes insertion.
Among the pretty midsummer
dresses are those of pale ecru batiste in
princess form, fastened to the back.
They are made over slips of pale-yellow
silk and are shaped to the figure by the
narrow lengthwise tuclss and trimmed
with dropping bretelles of guipure lace.
The newest thing in summer-weight
hop sacking is in admiral blue, cherry
red and silvery cadet blue. These are
made with simple Eton jacket and
bell skirt. somewhat less flaring than
those skirts have been, with several
shirtwaists of plain China silk in white
and any colors desired.
Both cotton and linen batistes are in
great favor for midsummer dresses.
They are trimmed with bands of in
sertion, either of guipure lace or of
embroidery. Some batistes come in
dress patterns, provided with drawn
work trimming in rows and bands, for
waist, sleeves, collar and belt, and with
the skirt breadths finished with wide
hem headed with drawn work.
The fancy for round belted waists in
all sorts of elaborate designs is carried
out in various fabrics. Those of chiffon
are just now very popular. Black
chiffon is generally becoming and may
be worn with skirt of almost any
color. The waists are either plain or
are trimmed with ecru guipure inser-
ton. When the insertion is used the
chiffon is arranged in perpendicular
puffs with the insertion bands between
them -ChicapO Post

TALKING TO THE STARS.
A Dying Soldiers Last Thoughts OF Homo
and Loved Ones.

l thought the soldier at my feet was
dead-killed by a fragment of the same
shell which had rendered me helpless
but as the night came down and the
dew began to fall life came back to
him. He lay on his back, his white
face upturned to the heavens, and as L
peered through the gloom saw that his
eyes were open. By and by, as he
whispered and muttered to himself,
the smoke of battle which had hung
for hours like a black cloud over that
part of the field foated off before the
night breeze, and the purple canopy
was studded with bright stars. His
eyes saw them as well as mine, and
presently he cried out in joyful way:
Ben! Little Ben! All! Thank
God! l was dreaming of him, and 1
dreamed that got home from the war
to find him lying in his coffin. l wept
over him and called him by name, but
he was dead. Kiss me, Benny! Thank
God, that was only dream!"
He was talking to one of the bright
stars above him.
And that's Mani" he went on, after
a minute. ~ dreamed of Nan, too; 1
was going home from the war and she
came running to meet me- Her face
was pale and she was weeping, and
when lifted her up she laid her head
on my shoulders and sobbed. 1t was
only dream. They haven't been un-
kind to my motherless Nan. She is
smiling and happy. My little Mani"
1t was only another star. Heaven
was keeping the film of death from his
eyes that he might see them in his last
hour on earth.
''And there's baby!" he almost shouted
after the pain of his wounds had drawn
q groan of agony, Il remember now,
Nan sobbed and sobbed and finally
told me that baby was dead Poor
motherless babe! 1t laughed and
crowed when l tossed it in my arms.
Were they unlllnd to -? No! 1t was
only dream! Ben and Nan and baby
are all here! They know Ha-thank
God, I've got home to then"
An hour later men came with lam
terms and stretchers.
"Take him first" 1 said. "ne has
three motherless children"

WHEN TANNED OR sUNBuRNED
Always Remember That Simple Remedies
Are the Best.

Don't rush to the drug store and
buy a lot of the fancy lotions and cos
metics when you contract your first
case of sunburn at the seashore," was
the injunction of a beautiful woman
whose face showed but lingering traces
of the glaring redness which had
marked it only the day before. Let
all those perfumed but trashy mixtures
alone. Few of them have any virtues,
many of them are positively injurious
to the skin, and not one of them is bet
ter than the simple, old-fashioned
remedies that anybody can prepare at
home. If the skin is hot, dry and
smarting with burn, nothing will re-
lieve it any more readily than mutton
tallow or plain olive oil applied with
the hands and gently rubbed into
the pores. If the skin will stand
it give it mild massage with an easy,
upward rub, first bathing the face in
water as hot as one can stand. There
Is nothing like massage for removing
the soreness and burning feeling.
Don't use much soap and beware Of
the fancy brands. They are nearly all
irritating. Don't scratch the itching

He wanted Something to Eat.

Gen. Forrest, during the late war,
was once approached by an Arkansas
man, who asked:
General, when do You reckin' we're
goin' to get something to eat?"
"Eat!' exclaimed the general. "Did
you join the army merely to get some
thing to eat?"
"Wall, that's about the size of it."
"Hcre," calling an officer give this
man something to eat, and then have
him shot"
The officer understood the joke, and
replied:
"All right, general"
The Arkansas man, exhibiting no
alarm, said:
"Bile me ham, cap'n, stew up a
couple o. chickens, bake two or three
hoe-calSes, fetch gallon O. so O. butter
milk, and load yer guns. With sich in
ducements, the man what wouldn't be
