and this however long a period may
have elapsed between their purchase
and their return. OF course 1t Is un-

and one which does not tend to make
them popular with Paris husbands and
fathers Of families. While insisting
vigorously on the ready-money princi-
pie, they yet will return the Gull price

on approval tempts many foolish
women to invest in more things than
they would otherwise do. Some French
women have developed quite a mania
for thus temporarily acquiring the

and every great shop has a black HIST
of ladies to whom goods are not sold,
on these terms. Still, it is quite COM
mon to hear a Parisenne observe dur

Eyes, the - is a very. oblieing shop;
II kept a dress length Of silk by me for
two years, and then, having no use for
it, I took it back; to my surprise they
gave me the full price" Two points
Of interest may be noted in the conduct
of the great Paris shops. One that
although there are frequent "exposi-
lions" or exhibitions of certain lines
of goods, there are, in the American
sense, no periodical sales. 1t must,
however, be admitted that on exposi-
ton days certain lines then put on
sale are often offered considerably I'M
der the usual prices. To give an exam
pie, during an exhibition Of white fab
RIGS it sometimes happens that a GER
tain line Of table linen, differing both
as to quality and pattern from that
usually or sale. will be offered during
the three days the exposition lasts at
a very low price, and later it will be
impossible to obtain the same pattern,
even at a much enhanced cost. The
other point-of ever greater import
ance to the American VISITORS that
while no great shop has cared to add
a cafe to its other attractions, it gem
orally has a reading room, where all
the leading papers may be seen, and
where friends can arrange to meet.

A ToUGH
After Being Fourteen Days in an Icebox
It Still Lived.

After Being Fourteen Days in an Icebox
It Still Lived.
A writer says Sir William Cory
told him some time ago that on one Of
his steamships coming from New Zea-
land an, albatross, supposed to have
been choked dead, kept in an ice box
at a temperature which was always
much below freezing point, was found
to be alive at the end Of fourteen days.
Captain Reed, in command Of the YES
sci In question, supplements the story
with the statement that the bird was
supposed to be killed by being strang-
led with Irvine tied as tightly as pos
sible around the neck. This Irvine
was not removed. The beak was
closed and tied. and the legs crossed
behind the tail and tied and the legs
crosses behind the tail and tied, It
was then wrapped in an old meat
cloth and put with three other birds
in the return box at the end of the
port snow truck. It remained there
for certainly not less than ten days.
On the n boy complaining that the
bird "grunted" when he went near it
the .albatross was taken out, when it
was found that it could move its neck
about and open its beak and the eyes
were open and lifelike. The lower
half of the body and the legs were
frozen hard. The fastening on the
beak had come off. 1t was alive for
two hours after being taken out and
was then strangled and put in the
snow box.-From Nature.

Three Cowboys and a Mountain Lion.

~ No"Doys ana . mountain Lion
Three Tonic basin cowboys proved
themselves victors in a wrestling ION
test with the largest mountain lion
ever killed in Arizona. The men,
George Hubbard, Hardy Schell, and A.
G. Harer, were riding the range, says
the albuquerque IN. N.Y. Citizen.
Schell had the only lrearm in the par
ty, a rife, and had only one cartridge
for it. The cowboys routed the lion
out of some rocks and rode after it, to
rope it if possible. Schell tried a 200
yard shot and knocked the lion over,
apparently dead, with a bullet through
its neck. The three rode up and dis
mounted, to find the lion had only been
stunned by the shot. As they ap-
preached he came to his feet and jumps
ed at Schell, who knocked him aside
with a blow from the butt Of the rife.
The enormous cat then jumped upon
Hubbard, crunching the mans left
arm and decorating his body with its
claws. But Hubbard, who is possessed
OF exceptional strength, caught the
beast by the throat and a front foot,
and Schell at the same time seized the
hind feet, while Harer an in and cut
the lions throat with a small knife.
Though the lion undoubtedly had been
weakened by the bullet wound. the
men consider themselves fortunate to
have escaped with their lives. The
lion skin measured nine feet ten inches
from. tip to tip.

For the first time In the history OF
the New York state 1roquois Indian
women n Of their number has be-
come q typewriter and stenographer.
She is Miss Edna Wright Parker and
is now in the service of the New York
Central railroad. Miss Parker comes
n Seneca Indian family distinguished
BY its exceptional record. The mother
Of William Parker, the great-great-
great paternal grandmother Of Miss
Parker, is concerned in n of the In
dian romances previous to the revolu-
tionary war. A party of the Senecas
captured a young white woman of the
Slocum family who became as one Of
them. During a treaty trip to Fort
Niagara she met a titled French Of
fcer who, infatuated with her beauty.
clandestinely took her as his wife. En-
ragged at this alliance, the Indians stole
her from her husband who was after
ward killed in battle, and returned her
to their camp, whore her daughter, the
child Of the Frenchman, was afterward
born. AS oon as possible after the
birth Of this child, in an endeavor to
search for her own family, the mother
escaped from captivity, taking the
daughter with her. She was overtaken
by the Indians, the child was taken
0 her, and n Of her captors
escorted her to her relatives near
Philadelphia. The child, reared by the
Senecas, and not knowing Ter parent
age, was eventually married to an In
dian chief and from her descended the
Parker family, who in each of the sue
ceedtng generations have been distin-
gu1shed among their people. The sreat-
grandfather Of Miss Parker, William
Parker, a volunteer in the American
army during the wal of 1872, was seri-
ously wounded at the battle of Chippe-
wa. Her grandfather, Nicholson Park
er, was a graduate of a college at AL
bany. Her great-uncle, Gen. Ely s..
Parker, the foremost Indian Of his gen.
Grafton, was the military secretary of
Gen. Grant during the civil war. The
father OF Miss Parker is now in the
freight auditors department Of the
New York Central railroad. Her moth

Central for a time, is now in the Dick

uncle, Sherman Parker, was admitted

BUTTERFLIES SLEEP.

body from the cold. But the effect 10

use the grass stems for beds, but less
carefully, and with no such obvious
solicitude to compose their limbs in.
harmony with the/lines of the plant.
They also sleep with their heads down
ward, but the body is allowed to droop
sideways from the stem like a leaf.
This, with their light oolering, makes
them far more conspicuous than the
blues. Moreover, as grass has no
leaves shaped in any way like the
sleeping butterfly, the contrast Of
shape attracts notice. Can it be that
the blues, whose brilliant coloring by
day makes them conspicuous to every
enemy, have learnt caution, while the
brown heaths, less exposed to risk,
are less careful of concealment? Be

go to sleep in different attitudes.

High Glass Navy s4e,.

The change in the character and
methods Of naval warfare has brought
into the service a class of men en-
tirely different from those who used
to "shiver their timbers" and splice
the main brace" on our men-of-war
years ago. Battleships, cruisers. gum
boats and torpedo boats are now
enormous engines composed of the
most delicate and complicated machin-
cry. The sailor of to-day is an accom-
plished scientist. He must be both a
machinist and an electrician, and those
requirements have brought into the
service a high class Of men.

England Educating Garaner..

Since the old system Of garden an.
premiership has been abrosated some
horticultural schools and other insti-

certificates to those who successfully
pass them The London Royal Horti-

this line. In April in each year they
have examinations open to all. The
questions are such that any first class
gardener should be able to answer
promptly and on the spot. At the last
examination there were 236 candidates.
Three hundred were taken as high we
