A Los Angeles correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune furnishes a lively de-
scription of wildcat hunt, as he says
the sport is followed in southern Cali
fornia. y company of people, men and
women, with pack of eager dogs, have
chased cat till it has taken refuge in
Il sycamore tree. One after another
the hunters come up, on horseback, of
course, while the dogs sit in a circle
about the tree, making music. Now and
then one of the younger dogs makes
a frantic attempt to climb the tree. The
cat, meantime, is sixty feet perhaps
above the ground, crouching on big
limb, his eyes blazing green and vel
low, his ears tWitching, and his short
tail moving back and forth.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen" says
the huntsman, "form yourselves in a
circle about the tree and give the dogs
full play, and don't shoot. The hounds
have worked for the cat, and they de-
serve it, Again, it is the most humane
way of looking at it; the dogs will kill
the cat sooner than 4 bullet"
With this little speech delivered for
the benefit of the aXc;.able tenderfoots
in the hunt, the horses are arranged in
big circle about the sycamore, and a
young man who wishes to beard the
lion in his den crawls slowly up.
AS he draws nearer, the cat looks
around in desperation. The tail
twitches more nervously. CHANGING
down at the open mouthed dogs, then at
the approaching human enemy, the poor
animal is evidently considering the
chances. Nearer the climber comes,
until man and cat gaze into each others
eyes scarce three feet apart.
For moment the puss hesitates;
them turning quickly, he steadies HIM
self, and with mighty spring is in the
air. Down he goes fifty feet, bounces
among the bush, a mass of springs,
steel and rubber, and is away. He has
landed just beyond the circle, and a
horse has dashed aside to let him pass,
followed by the pack in full cry. They
go like fash of light, a roaring, crash
ing sound. A scream, and puss is again
visible, perched upon the limb of anoth-
er big sycamore.
The same thing is repeated again and
again, till the women repent, and cries
of Let him go!' Poor puss!' are heard
above the baying Of the dogs that are
growing fairly mad with unappeased
ferociouSneSs.
Again the young man faces the cat.
this time fully sixty feet from the
ground. Surely if ever an animal had
won it's liberty this one has But the
game is up. The dogs are spreading,
and as out into the air the cat leaps in
magnificent form they collect.
Down he comes like a gigantic flying
squirrel. with legs spread far apart, the
soft, cushon-lil1e pads ready for n re-
bound. Like Il flash he cuts the air,
strikes the ground at the writer's feet,
and is enveloped in whirlwind of fero-
cious hounds.
The agony of the cat is over in Sec
ond, but the dogs fight, war and strug-
gle until each has vented his rage upon
the inanimate skin that is now borne
aloft as a trophy. Not few of the dogs
have felt the sharp teeth and claws Of
the vicious cat, that tips the scales at
fiftv mounds

A Hazardous Occunation

Since balloon ascensions began there
have never been so many aeronauts in
jured as during the year 1896. Four
teen OF them have either been killed or
badly injured by accidents. Two Of
thcse unfortunates were women and
Doth were killed. Professional balloon
men ascrlbe the accidents to ignorance
ana carelessness. Only three of the
fourteen aeronauts referred to were
OF long experience. 1t has happened
that this season there has been great
demand for aeronauts from circhses
and fair associations.

The Root of All Sin.

The sin which is going to condemn
the world is the root Of all sin; it is the
willful refusal of Gods priceless gift.
A life of outward sin is the result of an
impenitent soul. The disease of sin
has laid fast hold of mankind, and
while man is not blamab BILE for the dis
ease being in his heart God accounts it
the sin of sins If he refuses the sole
remedy for his recovery.-"Mr Moody's

Wind Pulled His Tooth.

One of the queerest pranks OF the
wind during the cyclone the other
night happened at the corner of Sixth
and Jefferson streets. John Gazzollo,
the night engineer at the City Hall,
has been suffering from toothache for
some time, and has been telling his
friends that he intended to have the
acher jerked out as soon as he could
screw his courage up to the point. On
the night in question his tooth ached
SO badly that he could hardly hear the

In a case in court a New York

In case in court a New York Wom-
an alleged as one of her complaints
against her husband that he could not
be kept from washing the dishes and
doing the other work about the house
contrary to her wishes. Her protests
angered him to such an extent that he
assaulted her, and he was put under
bonds to keep the peace. From this it
would appear that the New York man
would make an ideal helpmeet for a
woman who devotes her time to poll
tics and the uplifting of the masses.

A Rat Creates Panic in schoo

"A haC creates PanlC in School.
The mischievous boy pupils came
very near breaking up the high school
at Livermore Falls, Me-, a few days
since. In some way, known only to the
boys, they obtained possession of
live rat, and big one, and let it loose
to do" the schoolroom. The teacher
was simply amazed, and the "big girls"
nearly had fits. They gathered their
skirts about them with great alacrity
and sought refuge on the top of the
desks. Three Of the boys were imme-
diately suspended by the teacher, and
meeting Of the town committee was
called, at which it was decided, the
committee laboring under the idea that
boys will be boys" to let them go
back on promise of good behavior

When voting by machine comes to be

A WORD OFTHE DRESS STUFFS

Quieter effects prevail this
season-not an absence of
color, by any means, but an
absence of large designs. The
whole gamut of rough stuffs
is fun-the weaver showing
his Difference to the tailor by
producing fabrics that will
closely follow the contours Of
the wearer. This is noticeable
in the great family of cheviots,
the eheviot beauty left, but
the hummocky thickness re-
duced. Sac Gle Rasin and the
Potato-bag weaves exemplify
this. Broadcloths and the
smooth surface covert cloths
and serges fully hold their
own-thecoverts showing new
beauty. A brief list Of the
stuffs in the Dress Goods Sa-
lon would read like this-using
the everyday names
Cheviots Bourette
Zebelines Diagonals
Camel s-hair Brocades
Boucle Epingles
