Mrs. Potter now looks very thin. One
might almost imagine a strong gust of
wind would blow her away. Her beauty
of face has not faded. The wonderful
bronze hair is still there, and the great.
dreamy eyes. She is charming WON
an, and thorough lady in every move
ment and expression. But it does not
seem as if she could keep up this pres
sure long.
In the proper course of events she is

THE FIRST MRS. ADAM.
She Was LiIith and Was Expelled After
Being 1870 Years Married.

Whether Lilith was one of the female
creation of Chap. l.. or a demon. or
something between the two, she was,
considered matrimonially, a complete
failure. says All the Year Round. She
was expelled after living with Adam
$50 years. and subsequently became the
wife of Satan. by whom she was the
mother Of the Jinns. so familiar in Per-
sian fairy lore. The emphatic remark
IF Adam when he first saw Eve, This
Is now bone of my bone and flesh of my
flesh" makes, it is suggested COM
parison between Eve and the beautiful
but fiendlike Lilith not complimentary
to the latter, while the reference on the
birth of Seth to him as Adams son, in
his own likeness. after his image, con-
veys a painful hint OF the uncanny Off
spring born to Adam and Lilith. Per-
haps in revenge for this Lilith-the
name occurs translated might mon
ster' in Isaiah XXXiv.-became The
sworn foe of little children, whom she
was wont to strange with one OF her
glorious golden hairs. unless the watch
fulness of their mothers drove her away.
1t has, indeed. been gravely suggested
by an etymologist of great daring that
our word lullaby is simply a corruption
Of Lila abb" Lilith, avaunt which

HUNTING THE GIRAFFE.
Monstrous Game for winch One Must
Penetrate Thickets.

The bush is horribly dense and thoInv
and the thorns are of such a nature that
the strongest cord brooches can scarcely
Withstand their assaults. The old Cir
affe bulls, with hides nearly an inch
thick, care for no thorn in the forest,
and plunge through the armed thickets
as though they were black currant
bushes. There is only one thing to be
done-to forget the sickle thorns and
follow them. The spurs go in the gal
liant pony springs forward, and the
chase begins. 1t is truly headlong, says
writer in the Saturday Review. Crash
go the tall giants. their long necks ris-
ing and falling rhythmically. their
heads sometimes bending low to escape
a bough which all but scrapes the
withers.
1t is wonderful how such monstrous
game can evade branches and tack this
way and that among the interruptions
and obstacles of the forest. 1t is
tough gallop indeed, but in ten min
utes the hunter has driven his pony
right up to the tail of the nearest bull,
and, from the saddle, has fired his shot.
He falls behind little. then closes up
and fires again. Both bullets planted
close to the root of the tail, have plowed
deep into the short body of the giraffe
and done their work. The painted giant
falters, sways, and then in an instant
falls crashing to the earth, carrying
with him in his ruin a stout sapling.
Dark chestnut of coat almost black
with age upon the back, this old bull,
measuring nineteen feet from hoof to
the tip of the false horns. forms noble
prize indeed. AS he lies there in the
long yellow grass, he looks surely, the
strangest of all survivals of the fauna
of the dark ages: a priceless and pa
thetic relic left to the modern world by
the ravages of time.

Convinced the Silver Standard Is Fall
ure-To Stand with Other Nations.
In spite of the warning of silverite
statesmen the prosperous republic of
Chile has abandoned the cheap silver
basis for her currency and has adopted
the gold standard Chile is one of the
most enlightened and progressive of the
South American countries, and her ac-
ton is an evidence that she has found
the silver standard to be a failure and
wishes to be in accord with the major
ity Of the great commercial nations with
which she trades AS all her outstand-
ing loans, both principal and interest,
are payable in gold the change in the
standard will cause but little confusion,
and financial interests are already adj
justed to the new basis.
While Chile adopts the gold standard
of value, the same as in this country,
she will continue the use Of silver, and
the banks will be authorized to issue
paper currency somewhat on the plan of
our national bank system. Only as much
silver will be coined as can be main
tanned at parity with gold. The result
Of the change will be to give the bust
ness interests Of the country a stable
financial system, which viii Doubtless be
OF great advantage to it in its competi-
ton with silver standard countries.
1t is now in order for our silverites to
denounce the horrible crime Of 1895, by
which the wicked goldbugs secretly de-
stroyed the prosperity Of Chile.

Death From a BARRIERS Razor

The death of Mr.. John Terry, of
Rector street, from a malady brought
on by a slight cut in the face which
he got while being shaved ought to
be an ACCOMPLISHMENT to BARRIERS. The
wound inflicted by the razor in the
BARRIERS hand was very slight, but it
was the means of ad hitting into Mr..
Terry's system some baneful sub
stance, which may have been in the
leather, or on brush, sponge or
towel, or on the BARRIERS hand. The
result was blood poisoning, from
which he died in q week after lie had
been cut.-New York Letter.
