the field and inflicted defeat after defeat
on the Italians. And then came in March
last the utter rout of the Italian army of
10000 men under Gen. Baratieri. The
Italians lost 5000 men in killed, while
$500 were taken prisoners, together with
large military stores. Since then no hos
tilities have taken place, the Italians hav-
ing evacuated Tigre. Now they have
recognized by treaty the complete indie
pendence Of Abyssinia. King Menelek
frees the Italian prisoners who have been
in his hands since his winter and spring
victories and is to be Unidentified by Italy
for their support while in captivity.

Farmer Stoddard has raised q large

to hate corporations. Not less than q
half dozen dogs of doubtful breed can
always be found on the Stoddard place.
The dogs, too, are taught to hate the

between the caves of several kinds Of

Still there are puzzling similarit.es,

particular species. The catalpa leaf is
mentioned as that having the simplest

an entire and unbroken edge. Tie
magnolia leaf, which is oval, might as
well have been taken as the type; and

A very interesting exercise may be
had in tracing the differences in the
shapes Of the leaves Of trees OF the same

the rounded Iobed leaf of the white oak,
the pointed lobed red oak leaf and the
obovate, evergreen leaf o. the live oak,

Fritz. one of the big circus lions,
raised a rumpus at the winter quarters
ut Bridgeport, Conn, the other day and
gave the keepers a scare. A nylghau
which had also escaped made it lively
for the men for few minutes.
The Barnum & Bailey and the Buffalo
Bill shows have just come in from Chi
cago. The work of unloading and
transferring the animals to their dens
inside the quarters is in progress. A
pylghau got it's liberty in the big room
in which the lions, tigers and other fero-
cious beasts are kept. There was Q
great commotion. The big den wagon
in which Fritz, another lion named Bill
and the lioness Nellie are kept stood
in the room. The pylghau was cap
tured after short cut lively struggle.
Then the lion got loose. Keeper Kel-
ly had removed the fastening on the
rear of the cage TO place Fritz in the
transfer box. The lion made a dash for
liberty and bounded into the room. The
keepers sought safe places, not caring
to come into too close contact with the
beast Conklin, the elephant man, let
pack OF Great Dane dogs into the
room and they made for the escaped
lion. The animal was ugly and il Lard

SERVANT GIRLS FORM A CLUB.
Much Expected from This Onshoot of tbs
Working Women's Society.

Much Expected from This Onshoot of the
Working women's Society.
A new club which will attract atten.
tion because of its probable usefulness
is the recently organized Working
Women's Social club, of New York city.
This is en offshoot of the Working
Women's society. which did SO much
to secure the passage of the mercantile
inspection law, and in which work such
well-known women as Mrs. Edward
Lauterbach. Mrs. Josephine Shaw Low
ell and Mrs. Seth Low are interested.
Tho constitution of the new club has
just been printed and issued, telling the
aims of the enterprise. The member
ship is to be entirely of women en-
ployed in family service. and the object
is to give them pleasant place of meet.
ing, a chance to make friends and an
opportunity to organize, just as other
men and women do in the trades. Be.
yond these simpler aims, however, is
the larger idea of helping the members
when they are Ill and collecting enough
money to build a home of their own.
where girls who are out of work may
stay for a time, where they may go
when i'll or tired out, and receive all the
care they need. This home is to be
made cooperative.
Another plan Of the club is to found
school in connection with the home,
where all branches of household work
shall be taught. thus giving the girls
a much better knowledge of their busi-
ness and the self-respect which somes
to every skilled worker, and securing
to employers much more efficient serv-
ice.
The dues Of the society are Is cents
month at present, and meetings are
held twice q month. 4
