Women of n Dutch yiIInre.


The village women of Holland take
special care to keep the tips of their
white lace hoods stiff with starch.
which Is as necessary a perfection in
their toilet as polished linen and spot
less collars with ours. This delicate
hood Is worn over black skullcap
that fits the closely clipped head very
much like the headgear of n nun The
elderly women, widows, often wear a
straw bonnet over it. y jacket of dark
blue, with Il breaStpiece of cream cloth
and dark blue border of the same cloth
at the hips, constitutes the dress of
the women and the girls.
The skirts protrude at the hips in n
grOtesque fashion on account of the
many fanncls which they wind about
the body. evidently fad with them
as with many peasants of the Black
forest, where the custom prevails to
wear as many skirts as the spare box
will allow, adding at least one skirt
every year. They all dress alike. and
the talk about dress therefore does not
slip into their conversations, and on
that score they are at eternal peace
with one another, for no change of
dress has occurred among them for
centuries and will not for years to

man defending himself from the on

last resort. Poor Major Sandbach Of

maitland few years ago in attempting
to thus hold off a lionesS. which never
theless managed to infiict on his hand
and arm bites which proved fatal. A
curious story of the same kind comes
from the Khandwa district of northern
India.
Mr. Bayley, also an artillery officer,
was charged by a wounded tiger which
he was following up. He missed it
with his first barrel and the second
Mr.. Bayley jumped to one side, thrust
Ing out his rifle to keep the brute off.
The tiger, it is stated, seized the bar
rels and drove his teeth through them
and, being unable to withdraw them,
was shot by Captain Harrison, Mr.
Bayley's companion.
In his death struggle the tiger drag
ged the rifle from the owners hands,
and the jar caused by the stock strik-
ing the ground broke off two teeth
which were imbedded in the steel. This
story Is said to be absolutely true; but

A LAUGH IN CHURCH.
She sat on the sliding cushion.

She sat on the sliding cushion,
The dear, wee woman of four.
Her feet, in their shiny slippers,
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant to be goud-she had promised
And so, with her big brown eyes,
She stared at the meeting house windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher,
But she thought Of the hOneybees
Droning away at the blossoms
That whitcncd the cherry trees;
She thought OF a broken basket
Where, curled in a dusky heap,
Three sleek, round puppies with frin,,' '....
Lay snuggled and fast asleep.
Such soft, warm bodies to cuddle;
Such queer little hearts to beat;
Such swift, round tongues to kiss;
Such sprawling. cushiony feet!
She could feel in her Clasping fngcI
The touch OF the satiny skin
And cold, wet nose exploring
The dimplcs under her chin.
Then a sudden ripple OF laughter
Ran over the parted lips
So quick that she could not catch il
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered, BLESS the childl"
As each one walked from nap,
But the dear, woman hid her face
For shame in her mothers lap.

Habit,

Habit hath so vast prevalence over
the human mind that there Is scarcely
anything too strange or too strong to
be asserted of it. The story of the
miser who, from being long accustom-
ed to cheat others, came at last to
cheat himself and with great delight
and triumph picked his own pocket of
a guinea to convey to his hoard is not
impossible or improbable.
