never more tempting in it's daintiness
or more truly feminine in design than
1t Is now. The new woman, with her
knlckerbockers and varied assortment
OF trousers, and her frantic efforts to
reform the entire department Of under
clothes, has brought about g. reaction
which is decidedly opposed to mascu-

spring novelties in lingerie are as elab-
crate and dainty as the most womanly
woman could desire.
Inc most novel feature of the new
night gown is the sleeve, which is in
variably a full puff, elbow length, with
a friil of lace falling below the narrow
band of insertion which confines the

their size, when developed in a long

Fur gowns have been conspicuous
this season both as ball dresses and

used for the former gowns, and every

OLDEST OF CREATURES.
The Kinkajou and His Strange
Physical P~eculiarities.
He Has Distinct Traits and Parts of .
Dozen Different Animals, But the
Most Singular Thing About
Him Is His Tongue.

Here is without doubt the strangest,
most undesirable, most contradictory
creature in the animal kingdom
He is not particularly ~grotesque in
dppearapca4 He is not eccentric or fas-
tidious in the matter of food. He makes
no strange or unearthly noises to voice
his emotions.
But all the scientists in the world
have given up trying to put him in any
one animal family.
To the traders in animals he is known
for convenience as a kinkajou. But he
has other names to sign to his articles,
like potto, manaviri, guchumbi, chink
and, to have an English title, a honey
bear, or Mexican weasel. In Latin hei

1t is seldom that a kinkajou finds his
way into the animal market, but w. A.

body knows. He's just a kinkajou, and
comes from South America. They are
found over quite a section of country
there. He has distinct traits and parts
of a dozen different animals. Every a
riety of creature is represented in him.
He is the size of a cat or a good-sized
monkey, and has a good share of the
characteristics of both. He climbs like
q monkey and has a prehensile tail, but
his tail is enormously heavy at the roots,
shaped more like hat of a kangaroo,
and his head, instead of being shaped
like a monkeys, is like a bears, a rats,
or a sharp-nosed dogs.
while his feet are precisely like a
bears, fat, ~long-heeled and fiercely
clawed, they are as grasping as a mon

1.-THE most singular thing about the
beast, though, is its wonderfully long
and flexible tongue. This little chap
has a sharp tongue, about seven inches
long, that is a marvel in its way. He
will dart it out quicker than a snake
will flash its fangs. That tongue is
used for fishing into honey cells, and
taking out honey, or into crevices in
trees, to capture insects. 1t enables
him to gather in many a bit of food
that he would otherwise miss. He uses
both tail and trunk, by the way, for
many of the purposes that the elephant
employs his trunk.
"a funny thing about him, too, is
that in climbing he always descends

tail, only guiding with his fore feet.

graceful-looking woman, with small,
well-shaped head, soft, sympathetic
brown eyes, and with a firm, courageous
expression of countenance." She had
enormous influence both with the men

the two years that she remained in the

she labored on increasingly, and it is
undoubtedly due to her that the present

established. The 6 $4,000 which the
nation subscribed to her in gratitude
for her great services was entirely de-
voted by her to the formation of an in
stitution for the training and employ

conduct is briefly described by the Rec

Jenny Zellers was dressing the chill
dren, the youngest mere babe, when a
cloud of smoke came into the room and
at the same time the frantic cries of
those below reached her ears.
Hastily opening the door, she saw the
flames leaping up the stairway toward
her. Never hesitatiny. she closed the
door. and calling the children together
forced them up ladder and through a
trap-door to the roof. They were ele-
waited high above the surrounding build
ings, and below them the flames were
roaring with terrible fury.
Still retaining her presence of mind.

of IA, to the roof of the house to the
south. 1t was fall of ten feet, but the
boy landed safely, and then the girl
braved the fire in her doomed home to
secure a quantity of bedding.
This she threw to her brother. who
arranged ton the roof, and then, one b.

The infant she took in her arms and
leaped with it in safety to the bedding.
Next she broke a skylight iGfthe roof To
which all had escaped, and lowering the
children through it, they all reached the
