Tho hang Called In.

One of the most noticeable changes In
fashion this season is that which affects
the dressing Of the hair. The 'fringe"
has been gradually giving place to softly
waved bandeaux. and the bandeaux are
creeping gradually lower down until the
return seems imminent to the pulled and
waved bandeaux to be seen in the por-
traits Of Jennie Lind taken along in the
ifties. To young and delicate faces the
style has an agreeable piquancy and
quaintness, but to women past their first
youth or with strong, coarse features the
bang has a softeniug effect much to be
desired.
Another style now gaining favor and
one becoming to round faces with low
foreheads Is that Of turning the hair
back from the forehead loosely in a twist
that is lost In the light coils and puffs ar
ranged in the middle of the forehead.
In this style Of couture the front hair is
parted off on either side and twisted In
the old fashioned way into two rolls

Do Swans Sing Before They Dies

The story that tells Of swans singing
before death is very old, and Of course is
founded upon fancy. The idea has been
brought down from ancient myths. The
voice Of the swan is extremely harsh
and disagreeable, without a single mu.
steal note In it, and no good reason can
be found for likening some Of the worlds
sweetest poets to this unmelodious voiced
fowl.
The only approach to q verifcation
we have ever seen is the following,
clipped some years ago from q Virginia
newspaper:
"a sporting friend, recently returned
from q foray upon the Potomac river,
below Mount Vernon, was the guest Of q
venerable and highly intelligent lady,
who has always lived on the Potomac.
Speaking of the swan, she gave it as he,
decided opinion that this bird was in the
habit Of singing Or making q plaintive
noise when dying. The reason she gave
for entertaining this belief was that on
very many occasions in the last 80 years
she had been awakened at night by 9
sweet and exceedingly sad noise, some,
thing like the tones Of a flageolet coming
over the water, and that on every sub
seQuent morning q dead swan was found
to be floating on the water or to have
been washed ashore. "-Pittsburg Dis

1t Was All Love.

A writer for the Boston Transcript
was the witness the other day Of a very
pretty scene on a street cal. There was
an old negro woman-a very black old
woman-whose face, besides being black,
was p~ockmarked. No doubt o superb.
cial observer would have called her re.
pulsive, but there was a sweet and kind
ly look in her eyes and a benevolent ex-
preston about her black features which,
as you looked at her, gave you a glimpse
of something beautiful.
At her side, with his sweet child face
toward the window, knelt a little white
boy-a handsomely dressed little chap
with blond curls and blue eyes. He
asked the old black woman questions
now and then, which she answered with
a deep, grave, kind voice, and she called
the little fellow ''honey."
Presently this little Caucasian leaned
over tenderly toward the old woman,
put his arm lovingly around her neck
and laid his pink and white cheek against
her black face. That obliterated every
bit Of responsiveness the woman might
have had with every person of sentiment
in that car. To this little boy the old
black face was entirely beautiful, be.
cause it was all love. The beauty that
he saw was a good deal more than skin
deem.

THE KING OF A
tie u siereiy n Big Cat. After All, and .
Coward at Heart.

If we quit heraldry for fact and 20 by
the testimony of travellers and hunters,
1t is very doubtful whether the lion de.
serves his magnificent reputation. 1t is
his appearance, no doubt, which has
gained for him the a%ppellation of "king
Of beasts" with all the regal honor per-
tanning to it. Certainly he looks every
inch II king" Nothing can be finer. The
fancy itself could conceive nothing more
fttingly representative Of majesty than
the full grown male lion, gazing with
great yellow eyes, which seem to know
no fear, and the ample honors of his
shaggy name wrapped round his massive
front and forearms. He looks like the
embodiment by nature Of loneliness and
magnanimity, and he has been adopted
as such in all literature and poetry from
Homer and Eschylus down to the Lion
comique' of our music halls. Yet he is
only q cat-a great cat-after all, and
those who know him in his native wilds
give u very different character of 'felis
leo" from popular conceptions.
We do not wish to calumniate q crea-
ture so intimately connected with Brit
ish story and so dignifed in bearing and
behavior, for nobody can deny that the
lion is q great gentleman nhis manners.
Nevertheless, African sportsmen relate
that he can show himself rs cowardly as
he is cruel; that he will abandon his
consort and cubs in q moment Of ex-
treme danger, and that he scarcely ever
charges straight home upon anybody
who, armed or unarmed, has the pres
ence of mind to await his onset. He Is
described as very nervous and very cun-
ming, and dreading beyond everything
the superior prowess of the white man.
The early Dutch settlers at the cape
speak of lions prowling round the fort
ut night Gin such numbers as though
they would take it by Storm" Now one
must go very far into the African
''veldt" to see a lion, and q strange fact
is that he has learned the craft of silence
and is seldom or never heard to lift up
his mighty voice except in the far wilder
ness, where the hunters have not come
except singly. Thus it is written in an
African g%uidebook: Though his foot.
prints may frequently be seen near the
mountains of Lokaron and ~Boatlanama,
and he will sometimes venture to carry
away an OK from a wagon span there
abouts, he rarely II never makes his
presence known by his roar, having
learned apparently that it will only have
the effect of frightening off tho few timid
antelopes upon which all hopes of re-
plenishing his larder depend, or, worse
still, of %betraying his position to his in.
veterate enemy and prosecutor, man.

THERE WAS GOOD FISHING.
Likewise Good Luck on a Phenomenaiiy
0ood Imagination.

GOOD Imagination.
The scene Of the following incident
was about 40 miles from Gloversville,
N. Y, on q beautiful little lake just
across the tableland at Piseco lake, In
Hamilton county. The day was all that
q fisherman could desire, and every con.
dition was right for good fishing. A
party of three were in the boat-namely,
L. L. Everest, his friend, Professor
Spencer from Brooklyn, and the writer,
They had taken nearly so pickerel la
less than half q day, and the size was
good, weighing from "a to @ pounds,
The last turn around the ''lucky point"
was being made before we started for
home. Everest, who was trolling n OF
the lines, said: GIVE got another. He's
a big one from the way he pulls" Ever.
est let him play at n time nearly GOO
feet Of line before the fish could be
turned. When he had been brought
into sight, he was not SO large as some
we had already In the boat, but there
was an unusual motion all about him.
Soon the line was drawn so tightly 1t
was necessary to let him play again.
When brought back, it was discovered
that q large pickerel had attempted to
swallow the one on the hook, which was
now quite exhausted.
The big fellow still followed, shark.
like, for the dead body of his victim,
which, however, we were not disposed
to give up. Just as Everest was about
to swing the fish OH his hook into the
boat the professor took up his oar, hop.
ing to strike and thus capture the large
one. The movement Of the oar attract
ed the attention Of the fish, and in o
twinkle he made a pass at it. The blade
was about Z inches wide, but his jaws
grated across the upper and lower edges,
saving q groove OH either side with his
sharp teeth. The professor, by carrying
his oar forward with the movement of
the fish, at the same time raising it from
the water, landed the huge fellow into
the boat.
He weighed 1871 pounds. The fish on
the hook only weighed three pounds, but
showed signs Of battle, being bitten in
several places. Upon opening him we
found, as is often the case, a fish Of
smaller size in his stomach. This one
showed signs Of life and was opened.
We then discovered a pretty little gold
chatelaine watch and were surprised
that the time agreed with our watches
and that it was running.
More than pleased with our fishing ex-
petition, we returned to the Adirondack
hotel and informed Landlord George A.
Mccoy Of our good luck, at the same
time showing the watch. In less than
two minutes all the guests about the
house were in the Office, and among the
number was q pretty young lady from
Albany, who said that the watch was d
token Of friendship which she had prized
very highly. When on the lake in the
early part Of the day, it had fallen into
the water, and, she supposed, was lost
It is needless to say she was overjoyed o.
its recovery.-Albany Journal.
