Half century ago Phoebe Meeks was an

life. Suddenly. and without ex plauation,
the marriage was broken off, and since
severing the troth it is claimed that sh e

the quaint old wooden house that is her
home.
"Diagonally across half block stands
the M. E. church, which she has never
seen, although the house doors open d..
rectly onto the sidewalk. A square dis.

has never behsld locomotive. Yet she

being careful and appreciaiive reader Of
the current news and literature. For
many years her sister kept millinery

attentive listener to the gossip character

of neighborhood affairs. Her mental
faculties and equipment lave been far

creeping upon her, and she spends most

SOUTH AFRICAN LIONS.
They Are. 1t Is Said, the BOldest Of All
Predatory Animals.

They Are. It Is Said, the BOldest Of All
Predatory Animals.
South African lions are, beyond ques-
tion, the boldest of all predatory ami
mails, and those of Mashonaland are per-
haps the boldest of all. During the
night, their natural hunting time, they
attack draft animals, or even men,
within few yards Of the campfres,
and are a constant and serious danger to
travellers in districts remote from the
main tracks Of traders From the Fam
bezi, through Mashonaland, and north
to the Linpopo a chorus of complaints
rises in the pages of recent travellers
whose cattle or followers have suffered
from their attacks Mr.. Selous has re-
corded the pursuit of the post from Sails
bury by lion, and the loss of the mail
bags, which the animal tore from the
back of the pack horse. Mr.. Millais,
who crossed the Nuanetsi river with
team of eight donkeys to draw his wag-
on-the oxen being left behind ON ac-
count Of the proximity of the "1y"
country-lost three in one night by lion
attack, carried out with the utmost con-
tempt for human beings, whether white
or black. He was awakened by the lions
roar, and almost Immediately saw one
of the tethered donkeys knocked over.
1t was not five yards from the fire, but
in the darkness and dazzle of the fire he
could not SEQ the attacker. ave knew
instinctively that lion had killed the
donkey, and was standing over him not
five yards from where we were, but it
was hopeless to fire unless we saw some
thing, or at least could make certain of
his whereabouts.
This odd scene continued for some
moments, the. actors being four or five
black men, two white men, pony, sew
en- 1.-Two donkeys and dead one, and the
lion standing over the latter, with fire
partly lighting up the figures, until a
couple more donkeys broke loose. They
rushed into q mealie field, and there the
party heard the lion chasing first one
donkey and then another, as excited and
as little afraid as dog chasing rabbits
in field of barley. AT every bound
the lion emitted subdued 'boo-uff, as
his fore legs struck the ground, but the
two did not go far. There were presently
o loud scuffle, a crack and the sound Of
heavy body falling; then all was
still. " The lion chased the third donkey
round the camp, killed and ate it, and
was next day shot by an ingenious trap,
made by tying a rife to posts, and fas-
tening string to the trigger, which the
lion struck when revisiting its "kill. "
The unsportsmanlike method of com
passing it's death is excused by Captain
Millais ON the ground Of necessity. This
lion was 10 feet long from the tip of
the nose to the tip of the tail, was in
perfect health and immensely formida-

A Captive Balloon.

The principal danger in captive work
is tho always present possibility Of the
wire rope parting, not because Of the
obvious result that the balloon, being
set free, would at once make off at speed,
but for reasons of very simple technical
nature, albeit none the more pleasant by
reason of their simplicity. 1t must be
understood that when captive balloon
has been sent up the required height, the
neck of the balloon has to be tied up 80
as to prevent the wind from exerting a
pressure ON the envelope and forcing
out the gas, which would result in the
balloon very shortly losing its lifting
power and descending. In free runs the
neck must always be wide open, for
otherwise any sudden expansion Of gas
might burst the balloon. Hence II a
captive breaks away it is bound to make
an unduly rapid ascent, since it is sud
denly released from the restraint as we'll
as the weight of the wire rope.
OF course in such an emergency the
gas would at once commence to expand
furiously, and unless the neck of the
balloon were instantly opened and kept
open the envelope would inevitably
burst. In the shocking accident at the
Crystal palace in 1899, when poor Dale
and his comrades lost their lives, the
balloon was started with too much lift
and commenced to rise with undue ra'
pidity. Dale, the aeronaut, realizing the
danger, opened the neck and in bis anx
iety to see that it was clear looked into
it, and it is supposed that his head
checked the outrush Of heated gas, with
the result that the envelope instantly
burst, with terrible results. -Macmil

pllshed by the enactment of the strong
est protection law the people would
permit to stand on the statute books.
1 think the tendency to centraliza.
tion, the development Of which began
with the necessities of 1861, has
reached its elimination in the acts Of
Grover Cleveland, president nomi-
nally democratic. At first thought
this Is one Of the most singular contra
dictions in American politics, for
home rule is now, as it always has been
the very foundation stone of Democ-
racy.
But Cleveland Is not democrat,
though he so calls himself, and he is
not a republican, for no republican
president ever dared or desired to ex-
erclse the unconstitutional powers
which have lately become as familiar
as household words. Certainly IL the
time has come when a president can
force his own individual views upon
an unwilling congress, and can die
tate to our courts how they shall de-
termine the law, and can nullify a
statute because it did not meet with
his approval, and can unnecessarily
increase the bonded debt of the ma
tion at his pleasure, and, worst of all,
can haul down the American flag, and
all unrebuked by any power superior
to his own, we are indeed fallen upon
grievous times, and a condition which
to my mind very nearly resembles not
mere monarchy, but Imperialism.
But it is still true under our flag that
the people are greater than any man,
however they may have honored him,
and it is largely because the Chicago
convention administered so sharp
rebuke to the president guilty of the
acts that l have enumerated, that l
consider it the greatest representa-
tive body that has assembled ia this
nation within my recollection.
Whether l shall ever again vote the
republican ticket will depend on fu.
ture events. Should Mckinley and
the gold programme succeed, l be-
lieve it will take us the remainder of
my life at least to undo the evil that
will result, and so, il Mckinley be
elected, shall probably never again
vote the republican ticket. But the
people will succeed in their present
purpose, and as the republican party
has never been slow to learn, have
no doubt that four years hence will
see the chas tened party come forth
under the banner of a new republican,
ism, as comprehensive and significant
in its promise as is now this new de.

saw a beautiful old lady yesterday.
and she wore a dress of dull green surah
twill with black dots IN raised silk all
over it. The skirt was made plain, the
front breadths gored to fit the figure at
the top, but the back was laid in heavy
double box plaits in straight breadths.
The basque was rather long on the hips
and more Sprung than smooth. It
was cut away in front and had wide

of this was full ruche made of cream
lace, a lace vest front with a jabot of
lace reaching from throat to bottom.
The sleeves were moderate sized gigots

below and handsome gilt filagree but
tons.
/ notice among the new sleeves the
open or bell style. Some Of these have a
gigot puff at the top, then a narrow
space about the elbow. and then it flares
out into flowing sleeve more or less
wide, according to taste. This is a fam

little pufTs and ruff1es that pass with
other kinds of gowns. So the tailor is
obliged to stick to the gigot sleeve,
though IN diminished size.
There are some quaint and pretty
new mantles. One of them was like a
short double breasted box coat with
high collar flned with chinchilIa. The
coat was of thick ribbed silk and lined
with gray fur. The sleeves were simply
scanned up straight and plated into the
arms in broken, uneven folds. The
sleeves were about three quarters of a
yard around and just as long as the
jacket The mantle was of mordore
brown velutina, with a binding Of seal
skin 2 inches wide. The mantle was in
the form Of a stole cape The collar was
high IN the back and lay fat in front,
and this was also bound with the fur
The two stole ends reached several
inches below the knees. There was an
underwaist Of silk to this mantle, which
gave support to sleeves reaching to the
