Rabbits That Climb.

A correspondent writes to the London Field that while he was hunting rabbits with ferrets in January he found rabbits on three occasions in willow trees which overhung the water of q mill stream. The miller said that it was not an un- usual circumstance. Some months ago The Field told of other rabbits which had been shot, like raccoons or opos- sums, out of trees in England. h re- cent years cases of rabbits i'll trees have been reported with increasing frequency. From Australia has come the most re- markable story of rabbits as climbers
 The only way in which rabbits could be kept cut of certain tracts of land ln Australia was by the building of wire fences about them, the fences having meshes so small that the beasts could not crawl through and being so high that they could not jump over The rab- bits have clawed at the wires until their nails gradually have become hooked. Some Of the rabbits learned to scale the fences. and then great additional ex- nense w-ss necessary, for the top of the fence had to be bent over like J up- side down. with the Took out, so that the rodents could not get over the top Australian rabbits are said to be learn ing to climb trees for the leaves.

pecollete Gowns In London.

A London writer, commenting on the fact that decollete gowns are becoming more popular in New York, says: As low necked dresses become fashionable in New York, ill London they are rap idly on the decline, except for ball or very large dinner At one time it was almost necessary to wear a low gown to the theater in London, but HOW when one sees a decollete gown it looks pro vineial, as all the smart set have adopt ed fluffy chiffon blouses for evening wear The reason for this is that the theaters are insuficiently heated, and the houses in winter are always little cold For all small, smart dinners high neeked, "dressy" evening blouses, or tea jackets, are frequently if not gener- ally seen h fact, so well is the full made dress appreciated that even at court presentations the queen permits a heart shaped or semilow neck, with long sleeves. i'

Legal Equality.

The women are again moving in the state of Illinois i'll the interest of equal ity before the law. God bless them and God speed them in their righteous quest The shame is that it is left for the women to lead. Let the men inaugurate the movement that will make for justice. This cause has lost its newness. It has had to pay full price for the erudities and extravagances that gather around every reform, but at tho core the de- mand is righteous one, and it must be heard, and ultimately 1t must triumph Let no one lose heart and let no one de- lay any legitimate effort Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Idaho have fully enfranchised their women.

He Had Fallen Of.

Patrick was a new man ln the llghe horse regiment, but his cheerfulness and witty replies had already established him as favorite. He had one draw back, however, and that was his aWke wardness when on horses back. Nat urally his position required the opposite of this, and Patrick worked hard and faithfully to acquire the ease and natn- ralness of his comrades when riding. lie congratulated himself that this was at last accomplished. But one day when on parade his horse shied and threw hlm with considerable force. When he re- pained consciousness, he found that hls arm had been broken with the fall. With his nsnal characteristic good humor the noor fellow smiled in his pain as he said;

The Art of Bow Tying.

The art of bow tying is taught to young women. who like always to be smartly trimmed with correct bows at the neck and belt. Even the bow for the hair has different tie from the bow at the slipper, and the waistband has Il knot entirely unlike that at the throat. To know the difference is one Of the arts of bow tying. The next is to Ee able to tic
 A bow of orange velvet of the new shade, capueine. is valuable adjunct for somber dress. Upon light one it becomes positively brilliant beautiful decoration for dinner. For such bow and it's belt there must be a crush of velvet to go around the waist snugly. This must be crinolined to set like a girdle, and to it must be sewed the bow of velvet. Each separate loop is lined and stiffened, and the ends have sharp pieces of stiffening set ill. The whole is brought under q small knot. A bow, carefully made like this, withstands q great deal of hard usage, and if it is lined with taffeta instead of with velvet it is not too bulky thing to be worn under coat

NEW PUNCTUATION MARK.
A Badly Needed Invention Suggested by
 the Caustic Copy Reader.


 the Caustic Copy Reader.
 ''I shall be famous. I have an idea that will send my name laundering down through the ages, remarked the copy reader.
 "Humphr' replied the humorist. It will be the first idea you have ever had. You spend most of your time destroying the good ideas of others. ,
 Well, that may be, although you never have any idea 10 destroy, seeing that you get those which you have from Joe Miller's jokebook and the old al manacs.
 "Oh, well, let's have your ideaF'
 ''To tell the truth. it was suggested to me by you.
 "Ahl thought as much, and yet you say'-
 Don't be in too big q hurry, You haven't heard my idea. '
 ''What is it?"
 "I have invented punctuation mark for humor. It is intended to show the reader where to laugh. In olden times, you know the point of the joke used to be printed in italics. Nowadays there is no way to show the point, and, as many of the jokes, such as yours, have no point, it is impossible to print the point in italics. Now, Isuggest that punctuation mark be placed at the be- ginning and at the end of everything supposed to be funny, so that the reader may be prepared to laugh when he be-. gins to read and know when he has reached the point and it is time t0 laugh. I would suggest that the mark be two little squares placed above the line, and I shall call it by my name. What do you think of that for an idea: It was suggested by your stuff, as told you.
 But the humorist had given the copy reader look of seorn and had vanished Chicago Times Herald.

St. Lonis Women.

The women of St. Louis want repre- sentation on the school board, and as the simplest way of securing it have had q bill drawn up, which, if passed, will put an end to the existing masculine monopoly of school management i'll the state of Missouri. It provides that ill all towns, cities and school districts the governing body of the schools shall be composed of an equal number of men and women, and no board shall be com posed of more than 12 members. They have issued long and eloquent petition to voters asking support for their meas nre and giving many good reasons why it should become law.

FRENCH JOURNALS.
Shares of Several Bought and Sold Daily
 on the Stock Exchange.


 Most of the French journals have a salle de depeches, where bulletins are displayed and a museum of relics of the paper is kept. French journalism is much more personal in regard to its lit erary composition than that of England or America. A large proportion of the articles are signed with the names of the writers, even when the work is more or less of routine nature, such as the sporting or law departments of the paper On the other hand, the own ership of newspapers is less frequently lodged in single hands than is the case i'll America Very many of the French papers are owped by companies or asso- citations while the stock of several of the best known. such as The Figaro and Petit Journal, is bought and sold daily on the Stock Exchange, the quotations appearing as regularly as those of rail way shares or Government bonds.
 The circulation of all but very few of the Paris papers varies enormously, according to the contents. If 8 paper contains striking article, we'll adyer- tised previously, or if its feuilleton, con- tinued story or memoirs, which most of the French journals consider an essen tial part of their daily issue, is by some we'll known author, the circulation will run up 90, 900 or 100, 900 in a week and drop again as soon as the special feature is discontinued. When Le Jour began publishing NJ Henri Rochefort's memoirs, its circulation went up five fold, although the price of the paper had been doubled in order to make hay while the sun shone.
 The French press is much more con- centrated ill the capital than that of other European countries. In Germany, for instance, it is not the press of Berlin that has the largest circulation or the greatest influence. In this, as ill many other matters, however, the French press only bears out the saying that Paris is France. .'-Chautauquan.
