Panther Agnlnsi IIpnf.

In the dense forests of Sullivan
County, Pennsylvania, Nelse Hoose, IA
settler, was one dny hunting for n
stray cow and presently he sat down
on fallen tree to rest, at the mouth
OF n dark glen, on the north side Of
South Mountain. While he sat he
heard a bear growing up the glen,
and, as the sound came nearer, Nelse
got upon the log and cooked his rifle,
which he always carried in that wild
country. In II moment n big panther
came trotting through the bushes, with
a squealing bear cub in its mouth. 1t
carried the cub as cat does n mouse,
and did not seem to be III much OF n
hurry. Close at the panther's heels
numbered the wniling mother bear and
when the panther, which evidently
knew the bear was afraid OF him, put
the cub on the ground rs if To get Il
better hold, the bear gain Il courage,
plunged nt the panther, and caught it
around the body just in front of its
hind legs Quick as thouuht the pan
ther hung the cub in the mir, tore him
self lose and pitched into the bear. At
the first stroke the bear knocked the
panther to one side, and n second
stroke sent him flying into the bushes
But Mt this stage of the fight the cub
squeeled once more, and the mother
bear, seeming to forget everything
but her young one, rushed to its res
cue. She had not taken three steps
when the panther sprung Mt her and
settled, his claws in her shoulder and
his teeth in her neck. The bear strug-
gled hard to shake of the great cat,
but she couldn't do it. just as she
gave her laat kick and the panther
rose in triumph, Nelse took n hand in
the fight aud with two bullets killed
the panther. The cub also lay dead,
the paniher's teeth having crushed the
tender bones in the neck, and further
up the glen Nelse found the bears
nest, with n live cub in it, which he
carried home. Atlanta Constitution.

ATTRACTIVE DETAILS OF DRESSES.


While there are so few novelties in
the actual cut of gowns or in fabrics,
there was never more ingenuity dis
played in the invention of details, es-
pecially in the finish of the necks and
the arrangement of trimming on the
fronts of corsages, which are dainty in
the extreme, and often bawildered in
their intricacy. There are all sorts of
cunning little tabs, turrets, and pyints
of tucked and lace-frilled null and
batiste which nre turned over the front
of silk, ribbon or velvet neck bands to
stand up in soft, irregular ruil,s Ia

white and delicate colors frilled with

are sold by the piece. Abundant use
is made of these tucked lawns with
every possible fabric, but they are cs-
pecinlly pretty when combined with

Curious Statutes.

Tn the sixteenth century there was,
n curious law in England, whereby
hawkers were forbidden t. sell plums
and apple, for the reason that servants,
and apprentices were unable to resist
the sight OF them, and were constantly
tempted to, steal their employers
money in, order to enjoy the costly
delicacies.
Potatoes were unknown to the civil
lied world before the latter part of
the sixteenth century. For many
years after they were introduced into
Europe they were considered as lux
uries to be eaten only by the wealthy.
