HALLINGFORD.

The borough officers again failed to get together a quorum, and in conse- quence there is important business that should be attended to that has to lay over for at least week. The belief is that the police business is the cause of the failure to get enough of the bur- gesses together to transact business One of the members stated last evening that he thought it all wrong. and the sooner the board got together and settled the police matter the better it would be. As for himself, he did it consider it as important as other business that was being delayed, and when the matter came up he should vote as he deemed most wise, whatever the others did, and acquiesce to the result of the boards action.

The daughter Of the owner of the
nenagerie at Landsburg, Prussia, put
six wolves and hyena in large cage
through performance, when sudden
ly a large wolf jumped on the hyena
and fastened it's teeth in it's neck as
though he would never pull them out
again Immediately the other animals
became greatly excited, refusing to
obey the girl any longer Her father,
seeing the danger, ran into the cage.
With one powerful grip he pulled the
wolf from the hyena and cast him
into a corner. He then belabored the
brutes with his whip as vigorously as
he was able, and succeeded in chasing
them all back into their solitary cages.
Both father and daughter ESCAPED

The advantage of this sachet is that
it rests upon the table 50 that both
pockets are always open and the hand
kerchiefs can be easily put in and
taken out. 1t is made upon founda-
ton of stout cardboard, measuring
about twelve inches by seven inches
This card should be covered with
quilted satin on the side that is to lie
uppermost, and with plain, colored
sateen, silk or MORE, according to
convenience, on the other Before
stretching the quilted satin over the
card it should be thickly sprinkled
with perfume powder, which may be
bought for the purpose at any chem
lists.
Now border the foundation with a
somewhat full frill of torchon lace,
arranging this SO that it sets well at
the corners and shows no disposition
to curl up. Cut the two poke is out
of brocade or satin that can be orna-
mented with embroidery. Allow for
about half an inch TO be
turned over to the wrong
side all around and slope down
to the top edge of each pocket some,
what SO as to make them convenien
to use. Line each one with piece OF
the same material as that used for
the under side of the foundation anC
border them with band of fancy
ribbon or braid. Sew them neatly
into place on the quilted side of the
foundation, turning the openings OF
the pockets toward the inside, and
finish off the sachet with two smart
little bows of brightly colored ribbon.
Glove sachets and the case for gen
tlemens use can be made in the same
fashion, though, of course, they are
quite different in shape. The same
shape, on the other hand, will do duty
admirably for letter case to lie on 6
writing table, and it will be found t.
hold large amount of correspondence
without becoming unduly distended
