What Esau Hunted,

about noon We saw a beast stand
ing on mountain top looking down at
u.s. When we saw it, we thought that
the beast was rhinoceros or unicorn.
1t hath a horn set in the midst Of its
forehead feet long, and whatsoever it
butts at it runs him through and
pounds him against the rocks. It is said
by writers on natural history that they
place young virgin in his way, where
at he puts away from him all his fierce
ness and lays down his head and is
held thus entranced until he be taken
and slain. ~
Thus wrote that delightfully."- naive
observer, Father Felix Fabri, who visit
ed Sinai 400 years ago. Modern pill.
grims who have followed in his foot
steps with their eyes open will at once
recognize that the animal he saw was
the bedan, or Sinaitic ibex, which gazes
down OH passing caravans from the
cliffs which tower above their route.
He is seldom visible to them unless his
shapcly figure happens to be silhouetted
on the sky line. This wild goat inhabits
the mountains Oh either side of the Rod
sea and the steep gullies of Moab and is
the only representative of the deer or
goat tribes i'll these regions. Esau
doubtless hunted it, and those few
sportsmen who have followed his ex-
ample will not be surprised that the un-.
certainties Of the chase cost him his
birthright. -Nineteenth Century.

What the Alabama Did.

In the war between the northern and
southern states, which ragged in America
during 1S61-5, we have the only in
stance in which steam cruisers have
been employed ON any scale to harry
commerce. The south had no commerce
to be attacked, but the north had a
large and prosperous merchant marine.
From first to last the south sent II
steam cruisers and 8 small sailing cruis,
ers to sea. These captured between
them steamers and 261 sailing
ships-not very heavy bill of loss, one
would think. Yet this loss practically
drove the United States flag from the
seas. To prove this, I will quote from
tho case Of the United States, as pre-
sented to the Geneva arbitrators the
following facts: "In 1860 two thirds of
the commerce of New York was carried
ON in American bottoms. In 1868 three
fourths was carried ON in foreign bot
toms' And the transfers from the
United States to the British flag were
enormously large, They were:

Milk Jars.

Milk jars, or bottles, now so common.
ly used, We're introduced about Is years
ago. A gentleman farmer of Litchfield,
Conn, a man of wealth, who owned
blooded cows, finding with the increase
of his stock his milk supply growing
beyond his own needs, decided to sell
the surplus. He desired to put up this
milk in some distinctive form, and he
came to New York to the headquarters
here of a glass works and asked to have
got up for him some kind of glass
package that would be suitable for the
purpose and convenient for shipping A
jar was produced that was substantially
similar in form to the one now in use
The first jars were provided with glass
shoppers. These were found to break too
easily, and metal stopper was soon
substituted.
This form of package fer milk at once
became popular. The owner of the farm
for which the milk jar was first made
turned his farm over to stock company,
which increased it's production greatly
It still remains large establishment
and one whose dairy products are we'll
known.
Many other milk producers adopted
the milk jar, and its general use extend
ed rapidly, Probably at least rs per
cent of the milk for family use is deliv-
cred now i'll bottles There are millions
of bottles in constant use, and the num-
Der produced annually to make good the
breakage and to supply the increasing
demand is about 10000 gross New

Few Formalities at a Wedding In q Chi

Quite an amusing episode occurred in
Justice Lyons court recently in the
midst of trial for assault and battery,
when young couple rushed breathless-
ly into the room and informed his honor
that they wanted to be joined in the
holy bonds of wedlock as quickly as
possible.
LII one hand the prospective groom
carried a marriage license, which con-
tanned the names Of August Rohner and
Marie Soss. The assault and battery
trial came to halt, and Justice Lyon
glanced over the certificate by which
two beings were permitted to call them
selves one. >----~--

A gigantic specimen of the arctic
rhinoceros has lately been discovered
frozen up in an iceberg which stranded at
the Lena delta. This specimen was seven
feet taller than the largest variety of the
rhinooeros Of today and was armed
with two nose horns, the shortest Of
which was 3 feet 2 inches in length.
The animal doubtless belonged to an
antediluvian species of rhinoceros, and
his immense size gives some idea of the
enormous and terrible beasts which in
habited this planet in the days when
the earth was young" The creatures
body was entirely covered with very
long, thick hair, which proves that the
arctic regions were his natural habitat.

Among the silks there are, first and fore
most, velvets of I'LL qualities and colors in
plain surface There are also changeable
velvets where the upper pile will be In
some somber color or black and the under
twill will be vivid scarlet blue, yellow or
green. These brilliant colors, when filter
ed through the dark threads above, become
softened and chastened, as 1t were, into
real beauty. Some of the bengaline have
stripes of this changeable velvet. There Is
a larger line of moire antique than have
seen before for many years. This Is in one
color, the waved pattern giving it the ap
pearance of more. There are also num-
bers of new designs in what they call
MORE faconne This has dainty little or
rich big patterns in brocade trailing all
over the surface, the watered design show
ing beneath it all. One green moire had
Il pattern of broken pale pink and blue
flowers scattered over it. 1t looked like a
pond in the forest where the wind had
waited the flowers. There is also faille
covered with tiny figures and flowers, de-
tached or in trailing vines, or stripes set
with figures in dresden patterns and in all
the soft and dainty colors of Persia.
In making up the gowns for fall it may
not be amiss to say that green in both

trimmed or combined with pure white.
According to the thickness of the material,
the trimming is chosen. White velvet,
ribbed silk, silk null and chiffon are all
appropriate, and when judiciously applied
are beautiful. Another very dainty ar
rangement is to have white velvet with
chiffon rutfles wherever it will go. Checks
where green and white alternate are very
popular and deservedly So Gray and
white are dainty and pure together.
Bronze taffeta wi ith white faille trimming
is very pretty.
The skirts vary in make, some being an
almost perfect bell shape, others being laid
in plaits and still others being gathered. I
fancy that the style of ones skirt will de-
pend upon ones individual taste. Tailor
made gowns will be shortly seen every
where upon those who consider themselves
as the "smart set. ~ These have the
smoothly finished effects of yore. The
basques arc tight and buttoned to the neck
with many small buttons Some of the
new tailor suits are single and some dou-
BILE breasted, with a very small pair of
larels and u tiny V opening. Vests, how
ever, are seen with many suits. They. too,
are governed by the taste of the wearer,
but there is an evident tendency toward
perfectly plain tailor finished basques.
