sHoD IN FASHION.

Footgear seems TO have assumed posi-
ton of much importance this season. One
must be shod in the latest fashion or one
is very imperfectiy dressed. GLace kid
ties in white, natural leather, red, and
even in less conventional colo1s, are much
worn. Low shoes in black and white or ID
red and white, russell and white. etc, are
also admired. Perhaps the most .uniyeI-
sally worn, however, are the shoes or
plain white or plain russell. With these
ieather-colored or black stockings are in
differently worn. 1t IS probable that the
revival of white hosiery will be more popu-
1ar in tho fall

Washed The Tiger.

when Pezou, the lion timer. was at
Moscow with his meDageric lac had
occasion to employ moujik, n fine
specimen OF Cossack, to- clean out
tine cage OF the wild beasts. The
Co-.ack did not understand II word Of
French, and the terms Of contract
were settled in dumb show. BY way
Of iustructng him ia his new duties,
Pezon went through IA sort Of panto-
mime with broom, sponge and water
bucket. The moujik watched him
closely, aud appeared fully 10 under
stand the details Of the lesson given.
Next morning, armed with broom,
bucket and sponge, he opened the
Grst cage he came to and quietly
stepped in, n he had .een his master
step on the previous day into two
cages Of harmless brutes, but this
one happened to be tenanted by q
splendid but untamed tiger that lay
stretched out on the floor fast asleep.
At the noise made by opening and
closing the door the creature raised
it, head aud turned its green eyes
full on the man, who, all unconscious
Of his danger, stood in a corner dip
ping his big sponge into the bucket.
At that moment Pezon came out Of
his caravan and was struck dumb by
the terrible sight that met his gaze.
What could he DO 10 warn the man Of
his danger? 4 sound. a movement on
his part might onrage the great
beast. and hasten its attack on the
defenceess Cossack. So PeLon stood
awaiting developments, ready to rush
TO the scene when the crisis came.
The moujik, sponge ia hand, coolly
approached the tiger aud made ready
10 rub him down with the stOlidity Of
a military bootjack polishing his cap
tain's boots.
The sudden application oi cold
water TO its hide evidently produced
a very agreeable elect on the tlger,
for it began TO purr, stretched out it's
paws, rolled over on its back and
complacently offered every part Of
its body TO the vigorous treatment OF
the moujik, who went on scrubbing
with might aud main. All the while
Pezon stood there with his eyes wide
open. as II nailed to the spot. When
he had finished his job the Cossack
left the cage as quietly as he had en-
tered it, and it required the most en-
ergetic and expressive gestures on tue
part Of the lion tanner TO prevent his
repeating tile experiment on a sec'"'
wild beast.

Watching through all the weary hours Of
night,
Await the pale rose OF the morning light,
l wait for thee.
A one who, waking IN a bed OF pain,
And, helpless in his agony, is fain
To wait the sweet return Of sleep again,
I wait for thee.
AS he who. In some vast cathedral, dim
With shadows, silent waits, on bended limb,
The music OF the Eucharist!c hymn,

As deaf men crave for song, and blind for

As weary SONS of toll long FOR the night,
And as the fettered spirit longs for light.
long for thee.
