The Uses of Taffeta.

Black taffeta silk, founced, corded,
hem-stitched, tucked or plated, is
worn by most well-dressed women in
every possible style and conformation.
The fancy taffeta waists are perhaps
the most popular garments made from
this fabric. These are shown in an ex-
tensive variety of designs ranging in
price from the cheapest to most ex-
pensive creations. Taffeta skirts are
worn with these separate waists. They
are tucked or founced and made quite
long, producing a decidedly stylish
appearance. One model has three mar
row circular founces trimmed with
black velvet ribbon, which is very
rich. Then there are the fancy boil
eros made to match the skirt and worn
over blouse of contrasting color

BIGGEST GORILLA EVER SEEN.
German Museum In Hamburg Gets a
Prize from African Colony
of CAMERON.

A great prize has just been OBJ
tanned by the Umlauff museum, in
Hamburg. 1t is the carcass of the
largest gorilla which has ever been
seen, says London paper.
Herr H. Paschen, a native of Schwer-
in, in Germany, killed the monster
recently in the German colony of
CAMERON. Some natives came to
him in great excitement one day and
told him that an immense gorilla was
lurking in the forest near Tsnou-
town, which is settlement in the
Yaunde district. Thereupon the Ger
man, who is skilled hunter, took
his gun and went out to look for the
great ape. He soon caught glimpse
of him between two branches of a
tree, and, as the animal peered out
from this lofty hiding place, he fired
twice, and struck him each time in
the lower jaw, with the result that
he lost his hold on the tree and came
crashing down through the branches.
He died almost Immediately, and
only then did Herr Paschen realize
that no man before him had ever
killed such large gorilla. He or
dered the negroes who accompanied
him to skin the animal, but to take
care not to injure the skeleton. This
they did, and then the gorilla's flesh
was eaten by the older negroes, but
not by the younger ones, since they
believe that there is something of
human spirit in gorilla, and that
harm would come to them if they de-
voured him.
Immediately after killing the ami
NAL Herr Paschen took photograph
of him in a sitting position, in which
he was placed and held by three
strong negroes. This photograph
shows clearly the size of the gorilla.
On his return to Germany Herr
Paschen presented the gorilla to the
Umlauff museum, and there immedi-
ate steps were taken to preserve it.
Prof. LEM, of Lubbock, a well-known
anthropologist, also made exact
measurements of it, and according to
him both it's skull and it's body are
of abnormal size. It's shoulder, he
says, is As centimeters in length, it's
hand is 81, its thigh is 3s, it's foot is
81, and the entire height of the skele-
ton is 165 centimeters.
The Umlauff museum has been Of
fered 10000 marks for the skeleton,
but has refused to part with it.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
VIII Ignore State Board.

The board of regents of the state
university has settled, SO far as they
are concerned, their relation to the
state board of control. They will not
recognize the authority of the state
board of control. The regents rely on
decision of Acknowledgement Douglas,
which favors them. He gave his opin-
ion that not only are the regents not
under the new board, but that they
cannot legally even delegate their au-
thority to the state board This action
of the board of regents will come as a
relief to many friends of the university,
who feel that it differs so much from
other state institutions as to render its
being placed with them under the jur-
isdiction of the board of control in
furious rather than beneficial.

That Judge Widemann suppressed the

very extraordinary, as her gr~andfath-
