A GREAT HUNTING OUTFIT.

-~-t r.
The Extensive, ii Retsnue. Of the Khan Of
~ $$t Tartary. ~
The empernr hath two barons who:
are own brothers,; one called Baian,.
and the other Mingan; and these are
styled Ghinuchi (or Cunichi), which is
as much as to say: 1.-THE Keepers of the
Mastiff Dogs" Each of these brothers
hath 10000 men under his orders; each
body Of 10000 being dressed alike, the
one in red and the other in blue, and
whenever they accompany the khan to
the chase, they wear them livery, in
order TO be recognized. Out of each
body of 10000 there are 1900 men who
are each in charge of one or more
great mastiffs, SO that the whole num-
Der of these is very large. And when
the prince goes a-hunting one of those
barons, with his 10000 men and some
thing like 5000 dogs, goes towards the
right, whilst the other goes towards
the left with his parity in like manner.
They move along, all abreast of one
another. SO that the whole line extends
over a full days journey, and no an
glorious sight to see the working of the
dogs and the huntsmen On such an oc-
casion! And as the khan rides a-fowl-
ing across the plains you will see these
big hounds coming tearing up, one
pack after a bear, another pack after
stag. or some other beast, as it may hap,
and running the game down, now on
this side, now on that, so that it is
really a most delightful sport and
spectacle.
The two brothers I have mentioned,
writes Noah Brooks in St. Nicholas,
are bound by the tenure of their Office
TO supply the khan court from Octo-
Der to the end of March with 1000
head of game daily, whether of beasts
or birds, and not counting quails; and
also with fish to the best of their abil-
ity, allowing fish enough for three
persons to reckon aus equal to one head
of game.

LIKED HIS DETERMINATION.
The SchOolmaster Patted Grant on the
Head Instead of whipping Him.

The SchOolmaster Patted Grant on the
Head Instead of Whipping Him.
A favorite game of the boys of John
d. Whites subscription school at
Georgetown was mumble-th
Grant could not play the game very
sskillfully, and the peg always got few
clandestine ticks every time he was to
pull it. On one occasion it was driven
in SO deep that the boys thought Lys
could never get it out. He set to work
with his forehead down in the dirt, the
sun beating hot upon him, and. the
crowd of boys and girls shutting out
every breath Of fresh air. The peg
would not move. The red-faced, shock
headed, thick-set boy, with his face now
all over mud, had forgotten his COM
rades, and saw only one thing in the
world-that was this stubborn peg.
The bell rnng, but the boy did not
hear it. A minute later, after a final
effort, he staggered to his feet with the
peg in his mouth. The old schoolmas-
ter was in the door of the schoolhouse
with long beech switch-the only per-
son to be seen. There was glee inside
at this new development-here was fun
the boys had not counted on. Imagine
their surprise when, as the boy came
closer, and the stern old schoolmaster
saw his face, be set down the switch in
side the door and came outside. The
old man was pouring water on Lys
Grants hands and having him wash his
face. He gave him his red bandana to
wipe it dry. What the school saw a min
ute later was the schoolmaster coming
in, patting this very red and e1nbar-
raised boy on The head. - McClure's

COLORS AND COMPLEXION,
Women Should Know What They May
Wear and What Not.

Wear and What Not.
1t is surprising how few women con-
slider whether the colors they wear are
suited to their own particular COM
plexion or not. Not long since the styl-
ish color was that rich purple hue
known as petunia, and petunia was
forthwith massed on the hats and bon
uets of blonde ond brunette alike. To
some women it was absolutely fatal to
any good looks they may have pos
sessed. Yet it is possible to be dressed
we'll and becomingly at the same time
by a little study of color in conjunction
with ones personal appearance. Any
woman who studies effect will soon see
that the color which intensifes the
color of her eyes is the one which is the
most becoming every time.
Pale blue and pink should be care
fully avoided by women with red hair,
as they exaggerate rather than soften
the natural coloring; but they will
never make any mistake with the dark
shades of brown, especially the red
brown. Brown is also the color of a
'brown-eyed woman, as it will bring
out the beauty of her eyes as no other
color can, if she but chooses the right
shade. Gray is becoming to women
with gray hair, and to young women
who have gray eyes and lovely COM
plexions, old or young, provided she Sc
lects the right tint.
The blonde can wear pure white, with
out a tinge of yellow or pink in it, but
the brunette must be careful to wear
the soft cream shades, and if she wears
black at all it must be very glossy, while
pronounced blonde can safely deck
herself in the dull black which is used
for mourning. Green is pretty sure to
be suitable to every complexion, pro-
viding one is fortunate enough to dis
cover the particular shade which har-
monies best with the coloring; and it
so happens that green is the leading
color this season, especially the strong,
dark shades of metallic green.-Boston

New Aristocracy of Help Which Lives

Geology.

The scientific beginnings of geology
are said to have been treated Of in
Chinese works long before the Chris
tan era. Some degree of geological in
formation is displayed in the book Of
Job, several passages of which, have
been held to indicate an exact knowI-
edge of the different strata of the earth.
The science is treated Of by Aristotle.
Fliny, and Theophrastus. Geology did
not become what may be called an exact
science until the present century.

Peacocks Supplanting Towser as the
Household Protector.


'"The place of a watchdog on the farm
or country place." said States Attorney
Mcclure the other day, in making some
observations about mad dogs, reports
the ST. Louis Globc-DeIlocrat, Knight
be very well taken by peacocks and
guinea fowls. I long since adopted pea
cocks alone to guard my place, and
nothing can come around the premises
night or day without causing al alarm
from them. They are more watchful
than any dog I ever owned. Ny expert
ence with guincass has not been SO ex-
tensive, but I believe they are also
sure to give an alarm, or rather: a. good
many alarms, if any strange man or
beast should venture near them bv
night OR day. Perhaps the days Of the
watchdog would be numbered if it were
generally known how well peacoc]1s
and guinea fowls would take his place.
Then, certainly, with fewer dogs there
would not be SO many cases OF hydro
phobia.'
The statement of MIR. Mcclure as to
the watchfulness of peacocks was borne
out by numerous Howard county farm
ers, among the number being County
Commissioners Hess, Dorsey and Smith,
and Mr.. James L. Hobbs, who superin~
tends the farming operations Of Sen
ator German. MIR. Hobbs stated that he
long ago discovered what excellent pro-
lection peacoclzs afford about a place,
and down ON the senator's farm he al
ways keeps six Or eight of them to
guard the premises. So it appears that
mental
