An Alligator Story.

This little story is told in The Exam.

who was brought north while his nose
was still SIMPLIFY and his mouth was
wido. That is the way alligators look,
You know, when they ere very young
He was given to "a friend of mine, who
kept him comfortable and happy in a
wa h basin, with bit of stick on which
he could climb to rest and sun himself
l tnnot remember that this alligator
ha any name, for he did not live long
enough to have one given him. You
must know that gators are very tender
aud delicate about their heads, and they
never survive a fall. Unfortunately this
one was fond of lying on the bed, where
it was warm, and one day ne fell off
upon the floor, striking his head. After
that he did not live more than three
days. So if you ever have a pet alligator,
children. be sure you don let him get
a fall.

The author of Tales of an Engineer
pays tribute TO the memory Of q man
of his own craft who stuck to his
engine, knowing that his death alone
could lessen the danger of those in his
charge.
The train had crossed tlidW and
was approaching tunnel, which, being
on tn. ,hadow side of the hill, looked
like gsaat hole in the night. Nearer
the engine the engineer saw a number
of dark objects scattered about. In an
other second he discerued what these
were and realized IN awful danger.
AS he reversed the engine and applied
the airbrakes he shouted TO the fireman
to jump. He might have jumped him.
self, for he saw the danger first, but no
such thought came TO him. In another
second the pilot vas blowing through u
herd of cattle asleep on the track.
ii they had all been standing, he
would have opened the throttle and sent
them flying into the river with less risk
to his train.
But they were lying down, and as
they rolled under the wheels they lifted
the great engine from the rails and
threw her down the dump at the very
edge of the river.
But so well had the faithful engineer
performed his work that the train was
stopped without wrecking car. Many
of the passengers were not awakened.
The trainmen came forward and
found the engineer. He was able to
speak to them. He knew that he had
but few minutes to live and left low
ing message for his wife, Then, as if he
had nothing more TO say or do, he closed
his eyes, folded his hands over his brave
heart and without murmur, apparently
without pain, died.

Their faces are arch, coquettish. win
ming. AS for their joints and muscles.
they are as supple and flexible as once
they were stiff and creaky. The doll of
1897 can lift her arms high above her
head She can walk with less effort
than she could two years ago. She can
open and close her eyes with less Of a
jerk. She can held out her hands for all
the world as if she were made our of
flesh and blood and not out Of mere pa

The doll of 1897 has "a body. too,

arms stuck into it, but it is shaped like

That Pretty Festival Twelfth Night
Party An Alligator Story-The
Little Brown Sparrow.

The 9th day Of January is Twelfth
Night, or what is known at the south
as "Ole Christmas Many have been
the venturesome young people who have
attempted to sit up till the midnight
hours in order TO watch the COWS IN
their stalls on this night and see wheth-
er they turned TO the east and fell ON
their knees and lowed at midnight, &C
cording TO tradition. Somehow, ike
those who watch for Santa Claus on
Christmas night, they always forget
and fall asleep Such ambitious chill
dren ought TO have Twelfth Night
party, says IA writer i'll the New YORK
Tribune, who gives helpful hints con-
ceruing the celebration of this pretty
festival as follows:
1t is possible to buy Twelfth Night
candies in many New York shops Some
of these candies are crackers that ex-
plode when pulled open by the various
couples to whom they are distributed
and expose two fancy characters, one
for the boy and one for the girl. The
king and queen of Twelfth Night and
their various attendants are chosen i'll
this way. They are crow ned, and each
of the attendants is fitted out with varl-
Gus regalia TO designate his or her rank.
This regalia can be easily made, as a
very slight decoration VIII indicate an
earl, knight, countess or lord
chamberlain. The crown OF the KING
and queen and some flowing crimson or
blue robes of cotton flannel trimmed
with manufactured ermipe Will be
enough for these persona9es
Various games are played, and the
king distributes honors or favors to the
victors At the supper table a huge
Twelfth Night cake, profusely decorat-
ed with candied fruits III various colors
and with gay sugar figures, In cut. 1t
contains siXpence, ring, tblmDle
and bean. These must be placed III the
cake when il is baked, so far apart that
by no chance will two fall TO the lot Of
one person. The cake is divided. The
lucky finder Of the siXpence Will be
rich. the finder Of the ring will be mar
ried, and she person who receives the
thimble must expect to remain single.
The bean denotes the future king or
queen of the next Twelfth Night.
1t il easy TO make Twelfth Night can
dies by wrapping up characters with
ordinary motto candies and pulling
their covers apart Though they Will
not explode they answer every purpose
of showing the characters to be chosen
ANY one clever with pencil and brush
can paint tiny figures for use as the
Twelfth Night characters.

There are some points Of difference In
the making o. the skirts this season.
To begin with, they are narrower Very
rarely is an exaggeratedly wide skirt
seen, and then it is one that is cut in
one piece, circular--a style only to be
attempted by some genius in skirt
hanging, fewer gores-never more than
fiye-the front and side breadths much
straighter, still tight fitting over the
hips and all fullness well to the back,
where it is laid in small box plaits.
There is still used narrow facing Of
haircloth, and stiff ruffled petticoat is
necessary as ever to keep the dress skirt
from falling in around the feet. Sleeves
are small 20 the shoulder. In tailor
gowns they are very pretty-a much
modified coat sleeve, with just little
fullness at the top Almost all skirts
are trimmed or made OF some figured
material that gives the effect OF trim
ming. Braid is now sewed on at both
sides, instead Of only one, like last win
ter, and the narrow is preferred to the
wide unless when the wide braids and
very narrow soutache are combined.
Street gowns are short, to clear the
ground; house gowns are all long, while
dinner gowns, etc. are made with
trains. For street wear dark colors will
be the most fashionable, but for recep-
tions and the house all the light colors
are in style. both for old and young.
Buttons, buckles and brilliant trim
mings will be greatly used. while lace
both black and white, will continue to
be worn with every possible style OF
gown. Harper Bazaar.
