The Work of Hawks.

One female bird in her first season
took 322 rabbits, three hares and two
magpies and the next year 210 rab-
bits, two leverets, II partridges, four
magpies and two squirrels. Ono
owned by the late Mr.. T. j. Mann, of
Sawgridgeworth, caught in one season
120 rabbits, nine pheasants, one hare,
one partridge, three squirrels and Is
water-hens. Another which belonged
to Sir Henry Boynton, 364 head. A
goshawk will go on catching rabbit
after rabbit, or take five or six birds
in succession, for they do not tire like
falcons. Nothing comes amiss to-
them. Hares, landrails, epheasants,
rabbits, waterfowl, ducks, rats,
stoats, weasels, mice, even a hedge
hog is not despised. Their headlong
courage is simply astonishing They
will charge into a quickest hedge till
they have to be cut out, or dive among
rocks and boulders. Capt. Bland, of
Draycott, near Stoke-on-Tent, had a
goshawk which stuck to hare till
it twice rolled head over heels. Then
the hawk few after it again, and was
shaken off, while the hare escaped in
to a flock of sheep. The same bird,
pursuing a rabbit, flew right down a
large hole in the side of a quarry and
dragged the rabbit out of it. The
smash with which big hen gos-
ter a pigeon sounds as if football
had been violently kicked into the

Each succeeding year our citizens
have seen with clear vision how great
was Lincoln's contribution to the

In 1865, just after the civil war
Abraham Lincoln uttered the follow
ing prophecy, which is being fulfilled
by William Mckinley and his i'm
perialistic followers:
81 see in the near future a crisis
arising that unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my
country. AS a result of the war, cor
porations have been enthroned, and
an era of corruption in high places
will follow, and the money power will
continue to sway by appealing to the
prejudices Of the people, until al
wealth is aggregated in a few hands
and the republic destroyed. I feel
more anxious for the safety of my
country than ever before, even in the

Sewing Room Hints.


The time of autumn gowns being already
upon us. few hints concerning the uttliz-
ing of last years dresses may not be in
opportune. Serge or cheviot gowns of a
former season should be aired and well
pressed before any hasty ripping is done
Often small changes are all that is neces-
sary effectually to bring the costume up
to present requirements. 1t is well worth
while land almost always necessary to
alter sleeves according to a late model
Fashions Of the present season make this
an easy operation, since an introduced cuff
or pun OF velvet or of panne is one of the
effective features Of the newest autumn
gowns. Revers or collar may be changed,
renewed, or altered by additional trim
ming.
Thus, a garment which last year was dis
tnguished by plain velvet revers may ad-
vantageously discard these in favor of
stitched cloth silk trimmings; or they
may be outlined with gimp cloth bands.
The mere renewing Of buttons on short
jacket will often give an unexpected air of
style to the garment. But no change
should be made hurriedly, nor without a
study of the incoming fashions in small
dress trimmings. Haphazard renovating
is always disastrous, and hasty shopping
often results In season Of repentance and
dissatisfaction
