Entertaining SQUIRRELS.

Alive in his native, woods the squir-
rel is an amusing little fellow, and
he will entertain you by the hour II
you will let him.
You probably become first aware OF
his presence by his dropping things
on your head; then he plays hide and
seek with you rs he zigzags up tree.
While he pauses for thought, or posi-
bly to wash his face, another squirrel
comes scudding along the branches OF
a neighboring tree, and away they CO.
one chasing the other, jumping from
branch tip to branch tip, racing up
and down the trunk and making the
bari, fly. Sometimes one loses his
footing and falls headlong twenty or
thirty feet to the ground, landing
there with a force that makes him
bounce. You thing every grain OF
sense must be knocked out Of the
small body, but he only blinks a bit,
and after a moment spent perhaps IN
letting the stars set that must have
sud aenly risen before his eyes, he
streaks it up the nearest tree after
the other fellow. Long after they
have disappeared from sight you hear
them chattering together up among
the leaves like two watchman's rat
tles.-Philadelphia Record.

Other Times, Other Manners.

It is regrettable that we no longer
produce women of the social and men
tai attainments and high character at
tained by the Duchess Of Cleveland
and her contemporaries. In some re-
spects they had less advantages than
the women of to-day. Education had
not reached it's present standard, trav-
cling was less easy, books were not
the common necessaries they now are
On the other hand, a greater stiffness
reigned in social life, and there was
more time to cultivate graces Of mind.

Child's Apron.

Dressy, pretty little aprons that COW
er and protect the frock Of the playing
child serve the double purpose OF max
ing a most attractive effect and serV-

Manton model illustrated includes
many desirable features and is cut
after the latest model. 1t completely
covers the skirt, leaving only the
sleeves exposed, and can, when deslra-
BILE, be worn with the guimpe alone;
or, for still greater GOODNESS, over the
petticoat, leaving the throat and arms
bare. AS shown, the material is hne
white dimity, with sash of the same

The Rabbit Fired the Gun.

"Brer Rabbit" has been outdone in
real life, and a West Virginia rabbit
family has a hero. The incident oc-
Cured in this wise, according to the
Chicago Tribune:
Peter Frees and his son Louis went
out rabbit-hunting in the woods near
Parkersburg, West Va. Their dog
soon chased a cottontail into a pile of
brush, and Long rushed up to get him
out. He put his gun on the ground,
and taking up a long pole, began to
punch in the brush pile to dislodge the
rabbit.
Finally bunny ran out in an unex-
pected place, straight over the gun,
which was cooked. His hind foot
struck the trigger, sending the charge
of shot into Louis's leg, and some Of
1t into the dog. The boy yelled, the
dog howled, and in the midst of the
excitement bunny got away.

Fierce Battle Between Bulls.

The Washington Times prints a
story of a desperate battle between
Durham bull and a sacred bull Of In
dia on the place of A. E. Randle, at
Congress Heights, near Washington.
The animals are magnificent speci-
mems and were paStured in separate
Enclosures. The Durham went to the
dividing fence and beloved a chal-
lenge to the sacred bull, and was an
swered promptly. Then the Durham
broke down the fence and the animals
locked horns. There was bitter con-
test for half an hour and much blood
was spilled. Some men watched the
encounter, but were afraid to attempt
to separate the bulls. According to
the story the India bull made mighty
effort and managed to toss his antag-
onist into the air and over the divid-
ing fence. This was enough for the
Durham, which turned tail and ran
believing away. The ground where
the battle was fought Is said to have
been torn up as if by steam plow.

bon of black ribbed silk. They are

neat butterfly bow.

An Appeal to Physicians.

The National w, C. T. U. is issuing an
appeal to physicians to aid in removing
as far as possible all tendencies and
temptations toward the formation of the
drink habit. Physicians are asked to
warn parents against the home preserip-
ton of alcohol, and narcotic drugs. This
appeal has been sent to secretaries OF the
medical societies asking that some phase
of the subject be put upon the program

been reduced to three, namely, gray,

ever flare there is commences low

Pony Spoiled the Moonlight Filtration.
A gentleman who is member Of
the Meadow Brook Hunt Club and
delights in horseback riding received
a few days ago a wiry "cayuse," or
cow-pony, as they are called in the
Northwest. The animal had some
speed and an easy gait, and, after rid
ing it around the country roads few
days, he rode it, one evening, with
party VI anu SShlASbaNA AS
were out for a moonlight canter.
The party split up into couples, and
while the gentleman in question
would much prefer to have taken the
rear Of the line with the lady whose
escort he was, yet the pony developed
and unexpected ambition to lead the
procession. He let the "cayuse" have
its way only to find that the head
strong animal insisted on being at
least one-half a length in front OF the
horse ridden by the lady.
There was no holding that pony
back on even terms with the other
horse. 1t pranced about, jumped from
side to side and pulled in the bit, and
would be quiet only when it had Its
nose we'll to the front. The lady en-
joyed it all immensely, bat the gentle
maxwell, he left unsaid many things
which he had planned to say to the
young lady when they started on the
ride. Subsequently the gentleman
found the pony had been used for rae
ing in the West, and had been trained
to "go to the front and stay there.
