the modern tavern ought to compete with
as many of the home felicities the traveller
has turned his back upon as may be- This
is the need of the travelling public I will
not go so far as to say that there is not an
entirely satisfactory tavern in the city of
New York, as l recently heard declared by
a women of society, who, / fear alluded
more to the clientele than to the manage
ment or architecture; but the managers of
hotels, and the architects, have important
things to learn.
If we compare modern taverns with their
predecessors of the seventeenth and eigh-
teenth centuries. we should say that the
modern ones are perfect. Washington
Irving, the great connoisseur, said in 1857
of the ST. Nicholas Hotel, then new, which
used to stand on Broadway in the neigh
borhood of Broome street, and had a most
fascinating painting of the patron saint of
New Amsterdam in the act of descending a
chimney, artfully let into great pannel on

comfort, LONELINESS and good taste.

ADVENTURES WITH LIONS.
Big Beasts Are Frequently Encounter
ed by Man in South Africa.
From South Africa.

r TOM oOutn africa.
News is to hand from two independent
sources of an extraordinary adventure that
recently befell Mr.. Dickert, a farmer Nv
ing some fifteen miles from Malindi Siding,
on the YANKEES line. Mr.. Dickert went to
bed at 10 o'clock, and was just going to
sleep when he heard what he thought was
a pig granting and shifting outside the door.
He got up and stepped outside to call his
dogs, when he was seized by a lion. He
shouted, and Mrs Dickert ran out with a
rifle, with which she hit the animal on the
head, causing it to loose it's hold.
Mr.. Dickert Immediately snatched att the
rifle and fired, point blank fortunately kill
ing the lion at the first shot. The whole
affair was over in few seconds, and oc-
CURED close to the bed room door, where
the hungry animal had evidently been wait
ing. Mr.. Dickert was badly scratched and
haUhis arm lacerated where the lion seized
him. Though sufficiently serious at the
time, he now looks upon the adventure as
one of the most novel of his experiences.
The people at Malindi Siding have been
annoyed by a lion that developed the habit
of coming right up to the station and was
heard in the neighborhood of the railway
mems houses. short time ago the con-
ductor of the Falls train and several of the
passengers saw two young lions playing be-
tween the rails near the Gwaaf
Further up the line, In the direction of
the Zambesi, the lions appear to be much
more numerous. Not long since the native
commissioner at Matetsi is reported to have
had fifteen herd of live stock killed in
broad daylight by nine lions which were
hunting together.
Quite lately two or three lions have been
seen close to the Victoria Falls, on the
south side of the river, but, for the reas-
surance of visitors, it may be mentioned
that they only appeared at night and were
exceedingly shy of any human being.
AT Dett, which is on the same line of
railway, few weeks ago the remains were
found of a white man who could not be
identified and who appeared to have been
killed and partly eaten by lions.
Another European when accosted for
travelling without ticket hastily left the
train in the same district, made off in the
darkness and has not been seen since. All
of which shows that there is plenty of work
awaiting the sportsman, even in southern
Rhodesia.

HANDS SMALL, WELL GLovED.
Points in Which, 1t is Boosted, San
Francisco Women Excel.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
San Francisco is the greatest glove town
on earth say the glove dealers of the city.
There are more gloves sold here in proper
ton TO the number of inhabitants than in
any other city on record. There are more
expensive gloves sold here TO the class OF
women who do their shopping in the retail
houses In the city than there are elsewhere.
There are more perishahle light-colored and
lightweight gloves worn on the streets IN
the daytime in San Francisco than there
are in other American cities. Finally, ac-
cordlng to the glove dealers, the h1nds
which these gloves cover are, on the aver
age, noticeably smaller and more shapely
than the hands of the average eastern
woman.
The average sizes worn in San Francisco,
and so ordered In large quantities from the
eastern sources, are the 5i5 5& and g. The
size OF the average San Francisco woman
hand lies somewhere between the two num-
bers last quoted.
The biggest sales of gloves in the east
are In the sizes from to 6z, with
the average about 81. The large lines
of small sizes ordered by their San Fran
cisco branches are a constant source of
surprise to the eastern houses. who muN
be told again and again that big cons.gn-
ments of the larger sizes Will not be sold.
Women of all degrees of wealth are
equally particular about their hands. Shop
girls of San Francisco, earning Sc or So a
week. spend S1.50 or 81 every month or so
for pair OF gloves, concerning the quality
and ut of which they are quite as pdrtic-
ular as is the wife of the prosperous bush
ness or professional man. 1t Is a tradition
and a habit among San Francisco women

gloved and well shod. They may have to
rob Peter to pay Paul, but the fact re-
mains that these two adjuncts of the toilet
are consistently as correct as possible.
In addition to the evident care bestowed
upon the hands there Is a most significant
natural reason for their beauty. The cli-
mate of San Francisco is perfect for the
development of this great charm, the pretty
hand. 1t is soft and moist rather than dry
and free from the harsh cold winds which
crack and chap the hands In spite of cafe.
The weather conditions are most favorable
to the preservation of a firm, soft, white
skin. The persistent wearing of gloves in
the open air has a marked effect in sec
onding the climate for the beauty of the
hands. 1t protects them from the tan
which thickens the skin; from the freckles
which diSfigure it, and from the dust and
grit which force themselves into the pores
and roughen the finger tips 10 the detri-
ment of the nails.
Even among children are gloves univer-
sally worn, for the pretty and well Kept
hand has become a tradition with our
women, and it's development in the young
er generation is matter of course.

Enthusiastic Bird Architect.
: London Express,

FFOm the LOnuOn EApFtsss7
The process of the building of a birds
nest is always interesting. and the most
wonderful of all nests, those of the weaver
birds, can always be seen in the making by
any one who will buy few males of the
African billed weaver, which cost about
half crown each.
This is little bird much like small hen
sparrow with a bright red bill, and decked
in the breeding season with pink cap and
breast and a black mask. He is an en-
thusiastic architect, and in France is al
ways sold as travailleur-the worker.
Even in the cage he will weave any fib-
rous material in and out of the wires till
they are covered and in an aviary he will
construct beautiful round nests with the
greatest enthusiasm, pausing occasionally
to swear at fellow craftsmen who presume
to criticise his efforts or cast larcenous
eye on his materials.

A New Style of Stove.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American
new type of stove, the object of which
is the abolition of smoke, no matter what
fuel is employed. has been demonstrated
in London. The invention comprises a
screen of tubular fire bricks, made of special
material built up in the furnace in such
a position that all the products of the fire
pass through the screen. The latter quickly
becomes incandescent. and flashes the gases
as they pass through, thus preventing the
formation of carbon. By the aid of this
device, coal of the worst description can be
burned in the ordinary boiler with practically
no smoke, and with considerable saving
In cost. For the purposes of demonstra-
ton, cheap,da coal dust was burned. The
only result was light gray cloud at the
top of the chimney stack, which cleared
away in few seconds.

Juries' Rights.

From the London Law Journal.
Even in criminal cases a strange want of
respect for our system of trial by jury is
sometimes to be observed on the bench.
Mr.. Justice Ridley is the latest Judge to
disregard the constitutional rights of juries.
A juryman who protested against the de-
cision of judge on question of law
would promptly be told to keep to his own
province; he might even he punished for con-
tempt of court. The action of a judge who
trespasses Upon the province of the jury is
certainly not less unwarrantable.

An Indictment Of Impressionism.
rom LONDON Vanity Fair.

From Lon9on Vanity Fair.
My indictment of the "impressionists, .,
briefly summed up, amounts to this: That
by wilfully removing from their work all
thought of beauty, subject, color, quality
of surface. form and selection; by setting
their faces against romance and imagina-
ton, and by deliberately cultivating the
commonplace. the vulgar and the hideous
they have done, and are doing, much to
degrade the high art of painting as we
have received its message at the hands of
the mighty dead"

Road Tours from Leading North
western Cities.
At Least 800 Bubbles" Will
Take Part.
Old Saint Will Entertain His Wis.
itors Royalty.

Northern Wisconsin, Minnesota and
North Dakota as well as portions of
Manitoba are heavily interested in the
great auto carnival that will be neld
in st. Paul in July. AS j. S. Bryant
treasurer of the Automobile club of ST.
Paul, said "An aggregation of men is
to meet in st. Paul, gathered from all
sections of the country, who could buy
and sell any group of railroads in the
world, and still have money enough to
transact their business upon, and the
meeting will be an event which simply
cannot be overlooked by the northwest
"The great need of the northwest is
productive population and the first
requirement of such is capital. the
visitors who are planning to come to
ST. Paul this summer and are participants
in the big road tour have capital in
abundance and in a certain measure the
investment of it will be dependent upon
the showing made by the people of the
northwest"
st. Paul will have at least 800 auto
mobiles in the big endurance tour from
Chicago, Omaha, Grand Forks and Du-
luth. The Chicago section drawing fol
entries upon all the territory east and
south of that city will of course be the
largest; next will probably come the
southwest section which will include
cars from Kansas City and as far west
as Denver and from the intervening ter
ritory This section will start from
Omaha The northwestern section and
the one from Duluth are about even
so far in the number of avowed en-
trants. 1t is estimated that the Chi
cago section will have 1000 cars; the
Omaha division $50 and each of the
others about 200. Read maps showing
each mile of the tour will be furnished
entrants and special provisions have
been made to insure comfort, safety and
speed to the tourists of all sections
while on the road and in st. Paul. A
program of entertainment has been ar
ranged during the stay in st. Paul, that
excells anything ever attempted in this
line before. The tour is under tine aus
pices of the Chicago Automobile club
and by the sanction of the American
Automobile Association. st. Paul has
raised $4,000 to hold up the city's end
of the entertainment.
