A fashionably -attired negress, evidently of the upper strata of Coondom, sailed into the court room as plaintiff against Lula Wood.

When a wagon came noisily around bend in the road, the miner was just emerging from the bushes with his belt and money. The mon- ey he slipped into his pocket, the belt he buckled around his waist.

THE LION cAeED.

Four hours, with furtiye, forcefu tread, He paces slow, in sad disdain, His limbs by formless longings led
 That thrill their giant thews like pain. Or. ninging full his shaggy length,
 Fronting the bars, inert he lies; The frenzies of his captive strength
 Flame up, and darken, in his eyes What moves within his soul, who dwelt Between the naked earth and sky Who with his strenuous pulses felt
 The swinging sphere in harmony What anguish of his helpless state - Stills his vast bulk 10 sullen rest? Till some blind mpuse-fierces3 s3s1ate-- Strikes like sting through brain and
 breast!
 Some arrowy gleaR of tropic suns, That quickened >6nce his splendid might ThroRgh all his Troubled being runs, sANd- floods Nasssy elow eyes with light. The cold, sweet breath of forest streams Wind blown between the vengeful bars; The lusts of spring; the savage dreams; The ranging hunt beneath the stars. Strange living memories, dumbly voiced, They rend him as he lies forlorn- The strong brute spirit, that rejoiced In unveiled glories of the morn! So with his leap the prison shakes;
 And as his mighty head he rears, From his wild bosom hoarsely breaks The passion of his wasted years. Then. slowly, as the vision dies,
 The narrow walls, with conquering stress, Constrain him-and once more he lies Dull. helpless, stricken, passionless! Yet who may flout him? Still he shows ebana nf nower as he were free; And fear still guards him as he goes, And crowns his ruined majesty ~-Marion Couthouy Smith, in Youths Com
 panion.

A SIBERIAN MAMMOTH.
Discovered in Arctic Regions in AL
 most Perfect Preservation.

Occasionally we hear of the body of mammoth being discovered in arctic regions, the flesh being pre- served by a kind of natural system of cold storage. Such a discovery, says Chambers Journal, took place about IS months back in Siberia, and news of the find made its way to St. Petersburg, with the result that with great labor the body of the vast animal, divided into parts, was taken to the Russian capital, where it Is now set up for exhibi- tion. It is the most perfect speci- men of the extinct mammal which has yet been found, and it Is com puted to be more than 5000 years old. The legs and feet of the ani- nal are like those of the elephant, except that the former has five toes, and the latter only three. UnlikeS the elephant, the body of the man. moth is covered with a thick coat of brownish-yellow hair, which must have kept the animal warm under all conditions. The skin was found to be about an inch in thickness, and underneath it was layer of fat. In spite of great difficulties, tho va~~- ous portions of the huge carcass were conveyed, in frozen state, over hundreds of miles of country where roads were nonexistent.

WOMEN AS AUTHORS.
Feminine Traits Can Be Detected in
 Literature.

Literature.
 The correspondence in our col umns regarding women as authors discloses a definite objection to dis tinguishing them as such from men, says the London Mail. 1t is argued that since both men and women write they should be judged as au- thors simply, without reference to their sex. Inthesame way it is known that strenuous opposition has been raised on behalf of women to the em- ployment of the word "poetess." " "We know what a poet is" say the complainants, "but what is a poet ess?" We'll, a poetess is certainly not a pretty word, but its use is quite defensible.
 Nevertheless, it is quite certain that women have from time to time assumed mems names in order to es- cape the condemnation or prejudice which they imagined would attach to their franL declaration of sex Conspicuous examples are, of course, George Eliot, George Sand, the Brontes and in more modern days sundry other Georges. Why is George the favorite feminine alias?
 At the same time these writers need not have been so foolish as to imagine that the assumption of q male pseudonym would conceal their sex. As well might the ostrich con- ceive that he is disguised by burying his head in the sand. The fact re- mains (and is beyond the region of dispute) that feminine traits are un- mistakable and cannot be denied. With all its strong barbaric quail ties, who would take "Wuthering Heights for the work of man? It is on another footing. or plane wholly distinct, for woman is not un- developed man, but diverse" and nothing can hide the fact.
 One imagines, however, that few women are really anxious to do so. Even if it were true that no woman had written a great novel, or painted great picture, or created anything really great (which is a hard saying), it is certainly true that women ac- complish certain forms of work which men cannot adventure. The impress of sex must abide on artis- tic work, particularly literary work. And, after all, why not? And who assumes feminine work unnecessarily inferior?

Artificial Pearls.

The artificial production of pearls in large quantities is a simple prob lem, in the view of Dr. II. Lyster Jameson. One cause of pearl forma- tion proves to be worm, which has its origin in the cookie or tapestry shell'' from which the larvae pass to the mussel, and may be eaten with the latter by the cider or scoter, reaching maturity in the intestines of these birds. If the larvae remain in the mussel long enough pearls are formed. With full knowledge of the life histories of these parasites it is believed that pearl oysters or pearl mussels may be infected to any de- sired extent by placing them in in- fected company and the infected mol fuses con then be left to themselves in suitable beds until the pearls ara sufficiently developed.
