Recent important scientific disclos

ard natural histories will need soor
to undergo an overhauling.

have always contended could never be
done, Carl Hagenback, the celebrated
German animal trainer, has finally
succeeded in accomplishing.

back has brought about a veritable
marvel. Producing species of
brand new wild animal At the same
time demonstrating the possibility of
breeding lion and tiger hybrids with
the same degree of success as the off
spring of any other family known to
the animal kingdom are bred.
Naturalists have long been agreed
on one point. That no success would
ever attend any such experiments.
This fallacy the great animal dealer
has, however, altogether set aside.
Having obtained some extraordinary
specimens of this monster creature
A true cross between the lion and the
tiger. A strange beast having many
of the characteristics of both parent

The animals which Mr.. Hagenback
has produced are the only ores of
their kind in existence. That they
will shortly be the parents of an en-
tirely new and altogether unknown
species of the animal kingdom he has
every reason to anticipate as they
have attained an age sufficiently ma
ture to warrant their being classed IN
family by themselves.
The new creature is of enormous
size. Being larger than either the
tiger or lion. And it is generally
spoken of as a monster Although
this refers more to it's mammoth pro-
portions than to its disposition or ami
NAL instincts. For the lion and tiger
hybrid is said to possess a remark
ably mild and loving nature. Show
ing greater fondness for human COM

in being fondled and made much of

most fairy-like little creations One
of the prettiest of these is composed
of rows of narrow insertions of very
fine quality. Rows of the shirred
lace are sewed by hand on to the
bands of the plain insertion. This is
formed into a full blouse and the
smart little skirt is made in the same
way to the edge, where il is finished
with an inset flounce of Valenciennes
lace. with still another edging Of mar

of this same lace in marvelously intri
cate fashion. and they are lined with
white liberty silks,

Pretty Frocks for Young Girls

For school wear, suits are made in
short skirt and jacket costumes for
street wear. Black and white, gray,
red, green, blue and brown are all
fashionable colors The norfolk jacket
halfftting and long enough to reach
well below the waist, is a favorite
model as is also the long coat fitted
at the back, but only half-ftting in
front, and with the only trimming a
the shirt waist of flannel or silk is
worn. Albatross is one of the most
serviceable materials for girls house
frocks. 1t is soft and clinging, and
yet wears well and cleans beautifully.
II is quite practical to follow the pre-
Walking fashion of wearing white in

with heavy ecru lace and a little fold

A trimming which is very effective
on dresses for young girls and chill
dren is the very narrow black velvet
ribbon sewed on in two or more rows
at equal distances, showing space
between of the width of the velvet

black twist spanning this space. Such
simple handwork gives an individual

to wear the palest gray.

STYLES for Moderate Means.

A conservative style, not following
every fad of Dame Fashion, is sure to
be most pleasing, and so the broad
cloths and zibelines are the gowns
which one finds most admirable just
now. They are made up in the side
plated and box-plaited skirts, largely,
for morning wear and for walking or
skating gowns. For calling gowns
the more sweeping curved skirts give
a better effect. Many Of these cloths
are trimmed with applications of vel
vet and with fancy silk and mohair
bIaids. Stitching in a contrasting
color is one of the much favored ways
of trimming.
Fashion has ordained that for the
moment the so-called separate waists
are made Of the material to match
the skirt and coat. This decree
should not be considered at all when
economy has to be consulted, for a
smart waist of silk, chiffon, or any
material always looks well with coat
and skirt of cloth or novelty goods.
With a waist Of silk to match, how
ever, and with one of white or some
light color, a marked and decided
change may be made so as to give
the effect of having two or three
gowns instead of one. In nuns veil
ing or thin material, having waist
to match is a good investment, for
the quantity required for a waist is
small, and the gown is certainly
smarter than when made with waist
OF contrasting material. This rule
applies to India silks or taffetas, but
still does not by any means end the
fashion of separate waists. With a
pretty, smart waist and a becoming hat,
a woman can make her street gown
do duty for the theater, for luncheon
or for any afternoon entertainment,
and fashion which is such boon to
the economical will not be allowed to
go entirely out.-Harper's Bazaar.

was reached by reason of the reluct-
ance of some members OF the jury to
send a fellow being to death. 1t is
another testimony TO the inefficacy OF
the death penalty in our statutes"
Not only is that growing reluctance
to infiict the death penalty respons-
ible for these grim farces that send
murderers to prison for whose acts
the law prescribes death, but it is
chargeable with even worse fruits
than that. 1t sometimes permits MUIR
derers to. escape punishment alto
gether. In Vermont recently it made
the legislature perpetrate a farce.
After defeating an attempt to do away
with the death penalty, the lawmak-
ers at Montpelier commuted the SEN
fences of three condemned MUIR
derers.
The Post is not advocating the abo-
lition of capital punishment. 1t is
not yet apparent that society could
afford to dispense with the execu-
toner. But the steadily growing re-
luctance on the part of jurors to find
a verdict that means death is a mat
ter for serious consideration. Farcical

in general.
From the nose TO the tip of the tail
the hon-tiger measures ten feet two
inches. Which is a greater length
than that of fullgrown lion.
When it stands erect it's height
across the withers is forty-five inches.
Its correct weight being 467 pounds.
The animal shows slightly the
stripes OF the tiger, without being fur
nlshed with name like the tiger.
The lion begins to grow his name
when about three years old. Many
OF Mr.. Hagenback's new species OF
animals have gotten beyond that in
years, but none display any signs of
name. And he has no idea thai
they will ever do so.
Mr. Hagenback is justly proud of
this new arrival to the animal king
dom, and his intentions are that the
children of these hybrid parents shall
continue to preserve their type as
distinct in every feature except color,
which naturally may be expected to
vary in different members, as is the
case throughout the numerous classes
OF the great animal kingdom.
Two of Mr.. Hagenback' baby hy-
birds made friends at once with
small terrier. The dog mother nurs-
ing and caring for the young things
with as great care as she would take
of her own puppies.
They would lie across the terrier in
the same manner they might have
stretched themselves over the body
of their own mother. And while the
lion-tiger hybrid babies were being
brought up on the bottle it was a
common thing for them to share the
dog mothers milk with her own chill
dren. None of the young things
seeming to think that family differ
ences should give rise to any distinc-
ton whatever.
Curiously enough, the males of this
new species have shown the tigel
markings more distinctly than those
of the lion, while the females have de,
veloped greater marked characteris-
! tics of tn king of the wild beasts.

tide OF immigration that flows to the
United States. But Canada does moi
grow and will not grow until it has
institutions and a form of government
suited to modern conditions and the
western continent, long become un
healthy for monarchy.
1t is inevitable, absolutely in.

In the second place, Canada is

more they look to it, and yearly they
lose something of even their nominal
allegiance to England.
There have been two interesting il.
Illustrations of this in the last few
years.
When the present administration
came into power in Canada it sought
TO strengthen the commercial rela-
lions with Great Britain by giving
preferential duties to British imports.
The concession was liberal but Cana
dian trade with Britain has increased
almost perceptibly while Canadian
trade with the United States in spite
of our tariff, grows enormously year
by year.
This is practical. The other Illus
tration is sentimental but not less sig
nificant. In the darkest days of the
south African war, when the empire
was shaken to its foundations and the
most granite appeals were made to
save the mother country, enlistments
were called for in Canada, but only a
handful responded. The people did
not care. Nominally they were Eng

SNAIL MERCHANT

the tall hedgerows and lay red and
sodden in the ditch and among the
scanty grass of the strip of waysid ,

gray haired man; something past

he stopped and closely scanned the
bank.

was also such as to attract attention.

with which he kept thrusting and

something up and drop it into his
satchel.
What could it be? Nuts were gone
