The JacknI.

In hunters lore there is an idea
that the jackal is the lions provid-
er-that he locates the game and
takes the lion to it.. This supersti-
ton has no more foundation than is
found in the fact that after lion
has slain his quarry the jackals al
ways attend and wait the conclusion
of the repast in order to pick up the
leavings.

A DANGEROUS PLAYHOUSE.
The Children Were Lighting Matches Over
Dynamite Cases.

The Children Were Lighting Matches Over
Dynamite Cases.
Among the many adventures that be-
fell Mr.. Jebb in the course of his Rocky
mountain mining experiences was one
connected with dynamite, says the
Youths Companion. A line of rooms
had been built for the accommodation
of clerks, the storing of dynamite and
SO forth. Then the superintendent sent
for his wife and family. The children,
numerous and turbulent, were made
free of the place, with the necessary ex-
ception of the dynamite storeroom.
Proba bly, for the reason that this one,
room was forbidden to them they were
constantly caught hanging about it, to
be dismissed promptly with a caution.
Finally after it was thought they had
forgotten the subject, Mr.. Jcbb was
going home to bed early one morning,
after sitting up all night with a rcfrac-
tory furnace, when he happened to no
tice that the outer door of room con-
tanning giant powder was ajar.
Thinking of the gross carelessness of
which some one had been guilty, he
went to shut the door. AS he did SO,
he glanced inside and, to his horror,
he saw the whole half-dozen children
sitting on the various cases, trying to
sec which could make Il match burn
longest.
There was enough explosive sub
stance in the room to blow up the en-
tire town, and it seemed extremely
probable that that was just what was
going to happen, for it flashed through
Mr.. Jcbb's mind in Il second that if he
startled the children they would drop
their matches and run, when the re-
suit would be pretty certain.
They were too busy to have caught
sight OF him. He moved q little away
from the door and then called to them
| softly. Probably his voice was some
what shaken by what the novelists call
conflicting emotions" for at first the
children did not recognize it, but at
the second or third call they came gin
gcrly out of the room, fearful lest retri-
button for their disobcdience might be
about to bcfall them.
The moment the. last child-carrying
still-buining match-crossed the
threshold Mr.. Jebb rushed into the
storcroom just in time to cXtinguish a
smoldcring match-head on the floor
and, after searching look around to
see that all was safe, he went out
again and locked the door with gasE
of relief.
Then he marched the children oil
to their father, with whom, to judge
from the sounds, they spent an exciting
half-hOur.

New York Fashion Notes.

Cotton dress goods in Persian style
with metal woven in them will be very
popular during the Summer season.
Grass cloth is another fashionable fab
ric. Some varieties have twilled
stripes with dots of white or colored
linen, while others have fancy plaids
and designs in various colors. The
French pattern dresses are made very
elaborately with applique flowers, en-
broidery and bands of insertion. The
new zephyr cottons have heavy threads
woven into the outer surface which give
to them the appearance of wooIen ma
terials so that they are especially adapt
ed for street costume in warm weather.
The newest importations for shirt
waists are shown in these delicate It's
sues. The shirt waist of this season is
easily recognized by immense dropping
bishop sleeves which are usually fin
ished with n turn over cuff. These
shirt waists are especially satisfactory
because of their adjustable collars.
Other fancy waists are made up in the
cotton crepons which appear In large
plaids of brilliant colors and in dotted
Swiss muslin, the latter being very
charming in design this season. They
are much embroidered and ornamented
with Dresden effects. These waists
are more or less adorned with taffeta
ribbons which are announced by i'm
porters to be the principal features of
the Summer toilette, These new rib
bons are seen in chine effects with large
designs of flowers in bright colors.
The French ombre taffeta ribbons
change in color from blue to green,
red to blue, rose 10 cream, and other
appearance. The Louis XVI flower
striped ribbon are again in vogue with
more beautiful colOring than hereLo-
fore seen. The most fashionable sleeve
has medium fullness whicn begins be-
low the shoulder. A small puff with ii
shirred under sleeve is one of the favor
ite modes. The spring skirts have
less fullness than formerly. One sees
the circular front with fewer ripples
and the fullness massed in the center of
the back, forming four. five or six roll
ing cores. The favorite interling is
the finest quality of French hair clolh
which gives graceful curves without
adding weight.

AMERICANS LIKE HAY.
II Thcv Don't, why DO They Eat 1t whom
over They Got "a Chance?


over They Got Chnncce
"IIello!" said the policeman TO the
reporter on East Main street the other
day. Tho reporter stopped, and the
policeman drew him into n doorway.
"Do you see that load of hay?" said he,
as he pointed to big wagon standing
near the curbstonc. "Well, if YOU want
to see something funny just watch it
for Il few miuutes.n
The two stood there, says the Rochcs-
ter Post-ENpress, and soon II we'll
dressed man came along. evidently in
deep thought. He got opposite the hay
wagon, looked up. stopped, and then
took piece of hay and went on in
deep thought. Pretty soon we'll
dressed business man happened along,
saw the wagon, stepped up to it, and
took three pieces of hay. lie began to
chew one mcditativcly and carried the
others Off with him. A middlc-aged
woman came near, and she, too, pulled
out piece and carried il with her.
Then IA pretty girl with blue striped
shirt waist and II straw sailor hat
with blue band came along, and had
nearly passed when she saw the wagon,
and after looking around to see that
there was no one whom she knew
watching, stole over and carefully Sc
lected a long, slender bit, which she
carried with much care. After that
everybody, from Il dirtyfaccd urchin
with baseball bat to nurse girl with
baby carriage, stopped and selected a
piece of hay and departed happy. The
policeman and the reporter stood in the
doorway for twenty minutes and
watched the procession.
Strange, isn't it?' said the police
man. i've been on this beat for three
months. and I've never seen man or Il
woman or child pass without taking
piece of hay. 1t is not so with straw.
Why, a load of straw could stay there
for whole day and not one person in
five would think of taking a piece. 1
think that the reason SO many people
take hay is on account of the sweet
taste it has, for piece of hay, when it
is in good condition and not too dry, is
really very nice thing to chew on.
People who would rather die than chew
a toothpicll on the street think nothing
of going down the street with n long
piece of hay in their mouths as uncon-
cerned as three schoolgirls walking
abreast. Funny, isn't it?"
The reporter agreed that it was, and
then left. AS he passed the hay lie in
voluntarily reached out his hand, and
before he was aware of it he had long
piece of hay in his mouth. He heard Il
queer noise behind him, and, looking
around. he saw the policeman, pointing
his club at the wagon and then at him,
and laughing. But when the reporter
returned in about half an hour he saw
a blue-clad figure strolling down the
street with something sticking out in
front of his shoulder. 1t was the po-
liceman. and the reporter smiled as he
passed him. He had big wisp of hay,
and was chewing it like the rest.

A Costly Rnr.

Secretary Morton was showing a re-
porter through the chronological bu-
reau the other day. and this Is part of
what the reporter says he did: "Tve got
a bug in there that cost the government
$50 900; he don't look 1t, but he did
It's fact. One day an outfit of scien-
lists started in pursuit of this bug.
They ranged all over the hemisphere
and stuck to his trail like bloodhounds;
they ransacked North American all the
way from the isthmus to Alaska. After
the most remarkable adventures by
flood and field they treed their bug and
took him prisoner. He was then
brought captive to Washington, and
he's right there now in that brick
house, the highest priced bug on earth
A roundup of the total expense of that
one bug hunt came to over $4,000. But
ye got the bug"
