Early Spring Walking Dresses
THEY ARE VERY CIINGING IN THE HIPS AND FIARING AROUND THE
FOOT OF THE sKIRT-MANY NEAT FUR TRIMMINGS.

Paris, Feb. 24.-Excent on very cold
days you see the most fashionable of
Paris women out lin the figure" The
cloak is left at home n instead, there
is worn a warm trimmed bodice, which
is much more becoming to youthful
figures. At night the sealskin and the
long circulars are put on but day times,
if the sun shines warm, the women come
out in their pretty trimmed dresses.
l saw such a pretty young matron look
ing in one of the shop windows Saturday
with her poodle snugly seated behind
her awaiting her pleasure. She had been
strolling along the sidewalks admir1ng
the generous display Of pretty new things
in the show cases and | was not surprised
to see her finally pause in front of a Win
dow which showed all the early spring
tailor made dresses.
She wore a very smart suit of fashion,
able cloth goods trimmed with fur. The
skirt was made separate from the lining
which was Of cashmere. The lining fit
ted the figure snugly and the binding was
a deep, smooth yoke that lay perfectly
fiat under the outer skirt in order that
there would be as little fulness upon the
hips as possible.

I The skirt was trimmed with fur of a
color that co~rresponded nicely with the
color of the gown.
While this pretty young matron wore

manner as to insur comfort as We'll as

little bolero of fur the same color as that
which decorated the skirt.
a very pretty spring hat was Worn
with the gown, trimmed in modest and
becoming colors.
The Paris skating season will soon come
to a close and for that reason we see the
skating girl in all her beauty. The fash
ion for trimming skating costumes with
bands of fur and rough materials re-
sembling fur, is still the favorite one.
This can easily be accounted for by the
fact that the band trimming around a
skirt gives it weight and holds it in place
while the body is in motion.
The prettiest skating costume that I
saw was trimmed with bands of rough
cloth that looked so much like fur that

THE JACK-RABBIT KING.

San Francisco ALL: Jack rabbits are
a great blessing. So says w. j. Browning,
of Tulare county. But, then, Mr.. Brown
is not a rancher. He is a jack-rabbit
catcher, and can sell that he can catch.
And at good prices, too.
Mr.. Browning claims to be the only pro-
fessional jack-rabbit catcher in the
trv. His unique business keeps him occu-
pied all the year around, and his custo-
mers can be found in every part of the
union.
Who wants to buy jack rabbits? is a
natural question. Principally the coursing
PARKS; but there are others.
Mr.. Browning's occupation suggests
Natty Bumpo, with his leather stockings,
his long rifle and other attributes of the
deerslayer, to those not personally ac-
ouainted with him. When he was intro
duced to F. B. Black, proprietor of the
coursing park of Los Angeles, the latter,
having known him by reputation, evinced
much surprise, and said: why. l ex-
pected to see in Browning a man in over
ais. with motley countenanca, singed hair
and with baling ropes for suspenders.'
Browning is a typical son of the great
San Joaquin Valley. He was born on the

skirt was also trimmed with these bands,
which were interlined to stand we'll out
upon the skirt.
I saw walking in one Of the most fash
tonable squares a young woman gowned
in a very smart suit of checked material.
The seams of the skirt were stitched upon
each side in tailor fashion. The skirt it.
self chung to the hips as if moulded there.
1t opened at the side. 1t was lined with
cadet blue silk as the checks in the goods
were of cadet blue crossed with stripes
of a deeper tone.
The waist was a long, tight-fitting Elton
Jacket, cut off exactly at the waist line.
1t had a vest of olive white velvet with a
pointed yoke also of velvet, only deep
blue in color. The yoke was outlined with
tiny bands of blu silk braid and the coll
lar was finished with points Of the blue
velvet lined with olive white satin.
A very odd, but pretty little toque was
| worn with this gown and attracted a
great deal of attention. 1t was made of
a new variety of openWOrk straw, very
smooth and glossy, over a crown of ca
Diet blue satin. 1t was trimmed at the left
side with loops of the straw backed by an
immense pompon of dark blue velvet. I
nave never seen a toque just that shape
| before, for, while its inclination was to
tilt over the eyes. it scarcely reached to
the rim of the hair. 1t did, however, set
very high upon the c~oiffure at the back.
The only cape that l saw was one of
the customary ruffie around the edge,
neither was there a hood. But, instead.
there were three broad capelets reaching
from the shoulder to the elbow and tan
ering down to the skirt of the cane, like
great lapels.

was in the office of an %oculist, one of the
leading men in his profession in Pitts
burg. A big, strong and healthy looking
man entered. His appearance indicated
that he had many years of life before him.
He was we'll dressed, keenly intelligent
and of pleasant countenance.

troubling me, and l would like you to

Them
After a few preliminary questions the
doctor told hin to strip himself to the
waist. He took off his clothes, and
stood there a magnificent specimen OF
manhood. The doctor examined him,
paving particular attention to his back,
for a reason of which l knew nothing.
Having finished, he said:
put on your clothes; I can do moth
ing for you. Your sight may last six
months, but no longer. Treatment will do
no good. Blindness is sure to come
whats the matter, doctor?' he asked
quietly, with a faint tremor in his voice.
The doctor told him in technical Ian
guage, and then explained that the
trouble came from the wasting of a nerve
leading from the spine.

man when he got his clothes on.

He paid it and left the office without
another word. In the fullness of life he
walked out into the blessed light of day,
doomed to darkness Until death within
six months. 1t was an incident to the
doctor; to me it was a tragedy.

MERGED river, in MERGED county, AZ years
ago. He might be taken for any one of 81
thousand young men about the cities and
towns Of the valley. He resides now in
the toWn of Upton, Tular county.
The first jack-rabbit or hare drive of
any kind in this state was made in Kern
county in 1875 by a manager of Carr &
Haggin's ranch, who had been much an
noyed by the ravages of these pests.
A large number of Vaqueros and other
ranch hands We're gathered together and
surrounded a large territory. Gradually
closing their lines they drove the rabbits
into a large cattle corral. Many Of them
escaped, but the result of the drive was
the capture of twelve hundred hareS and
two coyotes.
The modern method of driving rabbits
was originated by Mr.. Browning, who
had been engaged previously in hunting
ducks and geese for the markets.
In 1881 John Dugan of Newark, Cal,
offered $1,000 for 1000 live hares, to be
used for inclosed coursing purposes.
Stimulated by this offer, Mr.. Browning
undertook to capture the heet-footed fell
lows by driving them into a corral made
by stretching fishnet between posts
driven at intervals into the ground. Since
then he has shipped many thousands,
alive, to all parts of the country for in
closed cOurSing purposes, besides many
thousand dead ones, which, perhaps,
found their way ultimately to the breast
of the serene but deceptive 'cheeken
tamale."
1t is astonishing to learn how many
dead hares are sold in the markets of
some of the cities west of the Mississippi
river in one year. During this period a
few years ago the sales in Los Angeles
amounted to 5000; San Francisco, 96, 000;
Denver, 80, 900, and Minneapolis surpassed
her old rival, St. Paul, consuming 5000,

Chicago Tribune: "What are hiccoughs
anyhow, doctor?" inquired the man who
had been roubled with them.
"Hiccoughs,'' replied the physician,gl glad
to see his patient own some interest
in hin es again, may be defined in SIM
pie terms as a sudden closure of the glot-
tbs, accompanied by a c%onvulsive inspira-
ton and a spasmodic contraction of the
diaphragm, producing a concurrent shock
in the thoracic cavity, and manlfesting Its
presence usually by a sharp vocal concus-
sion. It is probably both a psychological
and physiological disturbance, and it is
of a reflex character, its subjective point
being undoubtedly in the nervous centres.
Pathologicallyconsidered it sometimes in

present in g~angrenous affections. That

thought it was all foolishness taking care
