The greatest obligation of the

STYLISH LADIES CAPE.

The new wraps, writes May Manton,
are manifold in their varieties. accord
ion plating entering largely into their
decoration. A stylish example is here
shown comprising moire-velour,
mousseline. de.soie and jetted passe-
menterie. The garment has lining
of satin in shade OF vivid red with an
interlining of lightweight crinoline.
A round yoke that is deepest in center
front IS shaped by shoulder seams, and
form the upper portion: the circular
cape being Joined to its lower edge
falls around the form in ripping folds
produced by its unique shaping. The
lower edges of the yoke are outlined
with double row CT OF plated mousse
line-de-soie in graduated widths (which
may be purchased in the larger shops
plated and ready to sew on). The
bottom of cape is also outlined with
plated mousseline headed with band
of ietted passementerie. At the neck
mousseline again appears beneath q
high farlng collar.
Silk, satin, peau. de-soie, etamine
and grenadines make handsome capes
trimmed in this style. Black and white
lace combined form some of the dress
lest capes, when there is usually q
mixture of jet and sometimes touch
of color.
Black grenadine over petunia-colored
satin, decorated with chiffon edged
with black satin or velvet baby ribbon,
would be an exceedingly effective
combination.
To make this cape for q lady in the
medium size will require one and FIVE
elghths yards of forty.four-inch wide
material.

A ThieYing Horse.

AS country doctor, the horse is, of

tations many thousand miles, yet I
had no special love for the animal, nor
yet any high appr eciation of his intel
iigence, until short time ago, when
something happened which changed
nv views, says contributor to the
Baltimore News.
"On goi :, out one morning to look
after Major, found that l had acci-
dentally left the chain down behind
him. This circumstance he had taken
full advantage of, and had spent q
portion of the night in wandering
about the barn, upsetting everything
that could he upset and breaking
everything that could be broken.
Now, however, he was in his stall,
and looked around at me with his
great brown eyes, o picture of inno-
cence and contentment, while under
him, carefully spread out, was q fur
robe, the fur side up, and the cushion
of my sleigh.
"These he must have carried to his
stall during the night, thinking, per-
haps, that for Christmas night, as it
happened to be, straw was not good
enough, and that Tor once, at least, he
would make his own bed of the best
material he could tird.

Mammoth Locomotives.

Four locomotives, each weighing
ninety-three tons, without counting
the tender which weighs thirteen tons
extra, are being built at Schenectady,
N. Y, for the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. The mammoth machines are
what are known as two.cylinder COM
pound twelve-wheel locomotives.
They are not regular road engines.
but are for service as helpers for
freight trains on the Rocky Mountains,
where they will be coupled on ahead
of the trains and not used as pushers.
They are provided with eight driving
wheels and four truck wheels. The
cylinders have the exceptionally great
stroke of thirty inches and the boiler
is six feet in diameter at its smallest
ring. The totsl length of engine and
tender is sixty two feet one incn.

The Wolf in Europe.

One of the greatest terrors OF
Europe is the wolf. In Russia during
the last two years, according to official
sources, the wolves have devoured
IL, 900 horses, 10000 horned cattle,
$4,000 sheep, 5000 swine, 1000 dogs
and $4,000 fowl. They have also
during the same period attacked
sixty-eight persons, devouring two on
the spot and inAicting fatal wounds
on twelve Others. In France it Is
estimated that 500, 1000 OF these ami
mails exist and the damage Inflicted by
them is set down at about $4,000, 00C
francs annually. A regular body OF
men. numbering over 1000, called the
Louveterie, is maintained to keep
down wild beasts, and the force has
certain efficiency. but it is unequaled
to keeping the country clear OF them.
From time to time high bounties for
wolf scalps have been paid, as much
as 200 francs in the case of known
man eater, dreaded there as the man
eating tiger is in the Hindoo villages;
but the animal is never extirpated. In
some years his ravage is greater and
in others less, but he is always In evil
dence. II this country he has been
pretty we'll put down in the inhab-
itated parts. A few days ago 8 pro-
diglous wolf drive was set on foot in
Atchison County, Kansas, five square
miles being covered and 700 persons
participating. They rounded up 200
jack rabbits, but not single wolf.
Considering his fierce and predatory
character abroad and his resistance to
all efforts to destroy him, the Ameri-
can animal must be set down as
rather merltorious creature, easily
amenable to extinction and not 80
desperately destructive. even where it
continues to maintain fooshold.

only 1000 remained. This appears to
be an exaggeration, but there is no
question but SO far as in them lay the
work of depopulation which the Turks
understood was thoroughly done.
At the appalling news, the blood OF
Greece boiled. Even the tepid fluid
which jog. trotted through the veins OF
European statesmen was slightly
stirred. Remonstrances couched IN
decorous diplomatic phrases were ad-
dressed to Constantinople. Mean.
while q secret council of Greek leaders
resolved to strike back. The Turkish
feet 10y ct its anchorage in the roads
OF Scio, the officers toastlng their dark
eyed captives in goblets OF Chan
wine, and trying to divert their griefs
with soug and dance. Under cover OF
moonless night there crept out OF
the northern darkness two small Greek
briga, out6tted as freships, filled with
gunpowder, pitch, tow, tar and Greek
fire, and manned by Constantine Ca
narls of Psara and thirty-three sailors
who were ready to give away their
lives. They had taken the sacrament,
and had been blessed by the priest.
Canaris had seen to it that barrel OF
powder stood handy to blow up the
craft with oil on board, in case he
failed. When the black night fell, he
sailed in noiselessly, steering by the
lights of the Turkish vessels, and
aimed straight at the bow Of the
Turkish flagship. When he struck
tie chains, he grappled them and
made fast, driving his brig under the
counter of the flagship as far as he
could; then he set fire to his craft,
and sheered off rapidly in rowboat
shouting "Viotory to the Crossl"
The fire crept swiftly up the tarred
sides OF the man-of-war, leaped the
bulgarks, licked up the rigging. ran
along the deck and prohed its way
down the matches. In few minutes
it enveloped the magazine. There
were over 1000 men on board, sailors
and soldiers. They were demoralized
by the looting in which they had en-.
gagged. Discipline had been relaxed;
the officers found it impossible to fight
the fire with vigor and method.
Presently the flames gnawed tho base
of one of the masts, and it fell with a
crash. Foreseeing what must come
next, the Capondan Pasha, whose arms
and hands had been burned in vain

leaped overheard into his gig and or.

Ramadan rose IN the night air, and the

fortune to kill him, I think it will
cause the president to take back his
VOW against yenturing any more on
the field of honor"
"You know the man, then? Who
is hep" inquired half dozen voices
together.
"Deaf Smith," answered Colonel
Morton coolly.
"Why, no; that cannot be. Deaf
Smith was killed at the battle of
San Jacinto." remarked Judge Webb.
"There again your honor is mis-
taken," said the colonel. "rhat story
of Smiths death was a mere fiction,
gotten up by General Houston to save
the life of his favorite from the sworn
vengeance of certain Texans, on whose
conduct he had acted as spy. found
that out year ago"
"Well, if whs& you say be true, you
are madman yourself, Colonel Nor.
ton," exclaimed Judge Webb. Deaf
Smith was never known to miss his
mark. "
"Say no more" answered the col
onel; "the thing is already decided;
I have agreed to meet him. There
can be no disgrace in falling before
such shot, and if / should succeed
my triumph will confer the greater
glory"
Toward evening large crowd as
sembled at the place designated to
witness the hostile meeting, news of
which had spread all over the city,
and so great was the general reckless
ness as to affairs OF that sort. that
large sums of money were wagered on
the result. Duels were an every day
occurrence, for such settlement of
real or fancied wrongs was the custom
throughout all Texas liz that early
time.
At length the summer sun reached
the edge of the horizon, covering it
with crimson glow. Then the two
antagonists, each armed with long,
heavy rifle, took their stations,
back to back, and at signal, the
waving of white handkerchief,
walked slowly and steadlly IN opposlte
directions, deliberately counting their
steps until each had measured fifty.
Both covered the given number at
about the same instant, and then
wheeled; each was to aim and fire
when he chose. AS the distance was
rather great, both paused for some
seconds-long enough for the spec'a-
tors to fash their eyes from one to the
other, and mark the striking contrast
between the two men. The face of
Colonel Morton was calm and smiling,
but the emile it bore had murderous
meaning. Deaf Smiths countenance
was stern and passionless as ever. A
side view of his features might have
been taken for profile done in cast
iron. The colonel was dressed IN tho
richest broadcloth, Deaf Smith in
smoke-tintad hncksllin.

PEARLS IN FASHION.

Pearls are the fashion, says the Chi.
cngo Times Herald. The London jew
elers declare they have not sold SO
many in years past. Young girls are
not to have monopoly OF these pale
and colorless stones. They are to be
worn by middle aged matrons and
s8ately dowagera. This sudden rage
for the so-called "iebutante's jewel" il
due, it is said, to the recent famine IN
India, which has forced the starving
natives to sell their beautiful jewels
for any trifing sum that will bring
bread, or rather rice, for their fami-
Lies. Pearls are the royal jewels OF
India, hence are the favorites of every
taste, and when times are good 1T is
difficult to find them for sale in the

To demonstrate whether diamonds
do, as has been claimed, store up light,
ana subsequently give il oil when i'll
complete darkness, the French inves-
tigator, M. Mascart, arranged dark
room, in which collection OF 80
diamonds were placed. In one side
OF the wall was inserted o lens, and
outside the room an ordinary aIternat-
ing current arc lump was suspended.
The lens, which served the purpose
of concentrating the light, was GOV.
cred with a violet-colored glass, SO
that only the ultra violet rays were
thrown on the diamonds. Among the
stones were several old Indian, Bra
lillian and Cape stones, and several
from the South Africa river diggings.
OF the entire collection, only three
diamonds we're phosphorescent-one,
Brazilian stone OF Il carsts, pos
ses:e] this quality in remarkable de-
gree, and an old Brazilian stone OF
three carats also showed the same prop
erty. The two stones whose phospho.
rescence was most marked were per.
fectly white stones, with blush tint.
They assumed a milky white color of
the variety which comes from the
Bagagon mines OF Minas Geraes, OF
which only few are found annually.
The phosphorescence exhibited by
these stones lasted for fiftesn minutes
after exposure, with. however, grad
ually lessening intensity. All OF the
other stones were invisible in the dark.
Pure white light was used, resulting
in less beautiful experiment, al.
though the phosphorescence was quite
apparent. This test fully demonstrated
the fact that some diamonds, though
not all, possess the power of absorbing
light and emitting it in the dark

From the remotest antiquity race
of islanders were grown to fit SO sweet

For q thousand years Scio was the
