Those clever French women have dis
covered new way OF laCng their cor
sets, or rather they have adopted it from
the Russians.
OF course, it is horrid to lace tight,
but if you will do it, this new way is the
only way that won't hurt, because it
calls for three pieces of lacings and there
isn't the old torturing, uniform pressure
above and below the waist.
You put the FIRST laciug at the top
down in the usual way on each side until
you reach two eyelet holes above the
waist. Do the same thing with the
second, lacing flom the bottom,
leaving the two eyelet holes free
below the waist. la these four eye
let holes-four on each de-you now
put the third lace that which is to be
drawn.
Don't you see you can leave the upper
and lower parts rs loose as you choose,
tying each to your comfort. After that
you can draw in your waist with the
middle laciug quite independently.
A woman lacng her corset this way
once will never lace it differently. No
matter how loose she wears it this 10 tue
only proper method. -Atlapta ConsIitu-

Importance Of Vaccination.

Some very important facts bearing on
the value of vaccination have been
brought out in connection with the re-
cent epidemic of smallpox at Leicester,
England. Ten children died, who had
not been vaccInated, while among those
that had been there were no deaths.
More significant than these facts, even,
is the report of the medical officer of the
town regarding the twenty EIGHT persons
who made up the staff of the hospital.
"Of these twenty. eight, twenty-five were
protected" Doctor PrieStly says in his
report, "including eight whom revac.
cinated, while the remaining six had
only been vaccinated in childhood, and so
were not efficiently protected officials
all OF whom refused revaccination, which
| offered them-four have since contract
ed smallpox and one has died; so that
two only of the staff now remain 'ineffi-
GENTLY protected, and it will be inter.
estlng to note their future histories. !"
Some figures have also been lately pub
Iished as to the effect of vaccination on
4 tribe on the west coast of Africa that
was undergoing humiliation by small
pox. A doctor vaccinated $50 men,
women and children, and of these only
three were attacked. In these three
rases, it is believed that the lymph, sent
put in sealed tubes, had lost its potency.

A Herder Saved BY His Dog.

Wesley Newton, who came in from
Marquette, tells Of desperate encounter
that one of his sheep herders had with
a large mountain lion on arecent night.
On the night 10 que't;on An lrew
Thompson, one Of his herders, was
asleep in his cabin with hi, herd cor.
raled close at hand. Hearing a cJmno
ton among the baud he went olt to ia.
vestigate, aud saw mountain lion max.
ing off with one OF his charges.
Thompson was unarmed, but without
hesitation ran to the rescue of the sheep,
when the lion dropped its prey and
spraug upon him, telling him to tue
ground. Thompson's faithful shepherd
do. took hand in the encounter aud
undoubtedly saved his masters life, al
though it was at the cost of his own.
The mans clothing was almost CON-
pletely torn off him, and he was quite
severely scrached in number OF places,
but while the lion and the dog were en-
gagged he succeeded in extricating him
self aud made his way to the cabin,
where he securci his rifle. Tie Trusted
dog was still t5hting his powerful ali
unequal adversary when Thompson re.
turned, and he quickly despatched the
lion with single shot, but not until the
noble dog had been killed.
Lion, dog and sheep all laid within a
few feet of each otuer. the ground was
red with bood, and Thompson, with his
clothing torn in shreds aud bleeding
from d ozen painful wounds, presented
the appearance of having tackled huge
grizzly bear. Fortunately Tlompson's
wounds are cot serious, but he is salts
fled that he would have been killed had
it not been for the interference OF MS
dog.
This is one of the first instances on
record where a mountain lion has been
known to attack nan, the beast usulIIy
beating hasty retreat at the first sigh:
of human being. The lion measured
eight feet from his head to the tip of his
tail.-Red Lodge (Montana) Picket.

The exploration of the depths of the
sea by improved sounding apparatus has
led to the discovery Of au entirely new
order OF animal life. These were found
at depths to which light can not pene-
trate, and under pressure which it was
formerly believed no form of animal
life could exist in. The success which
has attended the experiments in deep
sea sounding has duCei the belief that
observations IN the atmosphere are pos
sible at much greater height than any
yet recorded. There are many problems
concerning the upper air, such as the
temperature, the pres sure, the quantity
OF moisture, the compos ton, etc, the
available Information concerning which
has hitherto been lameutably insufficient

Relies OF Aborigines.

J. A. Frisbie, of Spokane, gives az
interesting account of his examination OF
a large Indian mound sixteen miles south
west of Colville. in Stevens County, this
State. 1t is situated in small plain be.
tween low rolling hills, and before being
opened was thirty-fve feet high ana
seventy six feet in circumference. The
material of its construction was iron,
clay, adobe and shsle.
Although the existence OF the mound
has long been known to people in the vi.
cinity, it was generally regarded as q
freak of nature left by the subsidence of
eddying waters. Mr.. Frisbie, however,
entertained another view, aud, equip.
ping himself with crowbars, picks, drills
and dynamite, and pressing two Siwash
bucks into service, he attacked the
mound. After making an excavation
four feet by six they came upon wall
so hard that blasting was necessary. The
explosion blew down one.third OF this
wall, and a chamber, circular in shape,
was disclosed, the interior walls OF which
were as smooth as glass aud decorated
with figures in vermillion.
Three human skeletons, supposed to
be those of a chief and his two squtws,
which were still clad in what were once
skins of buffalo and deer, reclined, wit
faces toward the east, against the west
wall Of the chamber. Both skeletons
and skins crumbled at the touch. In
front Of the central figure stood largo
earthen urn, or, rather, pot, which was
half-flled with queer. looking ornaments
OF various coored stones aud arrow
heads of bronze. There were also re.
mains of three long bows, leatherr
culver filled with arrows, and narrow.
bladed tomahawk of bronze. SPOKANE
