having been temporarily turned into a

a stool was procured and in full view

When his hair and beard had been

welded a whisk, and once more the

Evolution Of Dress Article Through

In many of the portraits of the six
teenth century one often sees a strip
Of rich soft fur wound around the
wrist of a noble dame. This was used
to cover the neck or fulfill the func-
ton OF a muff, and to it was often at
tached a small animals head or a
skull, cunningly wrought In metal
and adorned with precious stones.
AS was the case with so many artf.
cles Of dress, the muff was first the
exclusive property Of the nobility. and
was carried by the commonest women
of Venice, as well as by the women of
the highest rank.
The first Venetian muffs were small.
made of a single piece of velvet, bro
cade or silk, lined with fur. the open-
ing enriched with gold or silver but.
tons set with precious stones. BY
1861 the muff seems to have been
recognized as the necessary adjunct
Of the wardrobe of a woman of fash,

While packing the apples, Mrs. Lillian

for the fruit. The answer was received
the other day, stating that the barrel
in question sold for s2.4S. Soule got

N Western prison They Are Allowed

IN Western Prison They Are Allowed
to Play for Stakes on Sundays.
"A few weeks ago, while s%oiourning
in Carson City, the capital of Nevada,
I witnessed a scene that struck me as
exceedingly curious, and which prob
ably was never duplicated anywhere
in this country" said T.. b. Gardiner
of Chicago at the Shoreham.
"A friend of mine who was on good
terms with the warden of the state
p~enitentiary took me to that institu-
ton on a Sunday afternoon, and there
saw all the convicts, numbering sew.
eral hundred, assembled in the long
dining room of the structure, playing
poker, seven-up, monte. faro and near
ly all the gambling games known to
western sports. Don't think for a mo-
ment that these men were merely
playing for fun; they we're betting
chips which stood for s%ure-enough
money and the play was just as Sc
rious and as much on the level as
though it were taking place in a reg.
ular gambling establishment.
This gambling, my friend told me,
was allowed on any other day
but Sunday, the idea being that as the
state laws licensed it there was no
valid objection to the inmates of the
prison engaging therein, Every con-
vict was issued checks showing how
much cash there was to his credit,
and If he chose to lose these checks
representing his money at cards it
was his own affair. While the men
played, which they did with all the
fervor of free gamesters, a couple of
guards sat watching them with loaded
Winchesters in their laps, ready to
put down the slightest outbreak or
least indication of disorder with a
form of argument that scarcely ever
fails to persuade Washington Post.

Reolted Greed as Surgeons Operated.

Reoited Greed as Surgeons Operated.
While expert surgeons slowly cut a
large portion of flesh from a vital
part OF his body, Charles Welle of
Santa Barbara, Cal, watched their
work and recited in Latin the Nj
cene creed Of the ancient church.
Mr.. Welle, who is 60 years old,
faced almost certain death for a year.
Finally nothing remained but an
operation, almost always fatal, but
never before performed in Santa Bar
bara.
Knowing it's dangerous character,
Mr.. Welle preferred to die in full
possession of his faculties and re-
fused to take ether. Drugs to allay
pain were administered and while the
surgeons removed the flesh the pa
tient watched every movement. AS
the effect of the anodyne wore off the
pain of the operation was felt in its
full force, but never for a moment
did Mr.. Welle lose s%elf-control. There
was a total absence of shock in the
case, and to this, the surgeons say,
is due the recovery Of their patient.

l have a near neighbor who is a
close and intelligent observer of the
ways of wild animals and q truthful
and reliable man, says a writer in the

n occasion he Witnessed a fox chase
in Maryland, standing on one side Of
a very high hill, while the dogs and
fox were across a deep gulch about
half way up on the side of another
high hill, for a good deal of the time
in plain view.
AS the chase proceeded he noticed
a second fox seated on a log and APP
p~arently interested in the outcome.
After some time, as the dogs were
heard approaching, this fox ran down
at right angles to the direction they
were coming and met the running fox
and took his place ahead of the
hounds, while the tired animal sprang
to one side and trotted directly up the
hill and seated himself on the log for
a rest.
The fresh substitute then led the
dogs a lively chase for a long circuit
and finally the pack again were heard
approaching. This time fox No. 1
was fresh and ready and ran down and
met his fatigued brother and put him
self before the dogs, while No. 2 went
back to the log and took a breathing
spell. This procedure was kept up for
probably two hours.
