Striped Mules.

The latest beast of burden to at
tract general attention is the "zeb-
rula,' a half horse, half zebra mon
grel, which has been tried with great
success in South Africa and will be,
it is said, brought to Europe and
America. The zebrula, on account of
its form and general bodily condition
especially the hardness of the hoofs
lis thought to be specially adapted
for all transport work heretofore per-
formed by mules. The zebrula is
much livelier than the mule and at
least as intelligent. The zebra stripes
are often well preserved, while the
undertone of the skin is generally
that Of the mother A full-grown
zebrula is fourteen hands high and
the girdle circumference about sixty
three inches. The experiments so far
have been so successful that it Is
predicted that the zebrula during the
present century will completely super

PAJAMAS HEALTHFUL.

Many Men Now Wearing Them for the
Sake of Comfort.
1T was not always so,' said a man
ufacturer of sleeping garments, "but
In every great city nowadays prac-
tically every man wears, when he goes
to bed, suitable sleeping clothes of
some sort, either a night shirt or paja-
mas.
I'm cities probably so per cent of the
men now wear pajamas, with the pro-
portion of pajamas worn continuing
to increase. l don't like them myself,
but undoubtedly they have their mer-
its. Pajamas, for instance, are handi-
est to wear in a sleeping car, and they
are blessing to a man who has to
get up in the night to tend the baby.
But though in the greater cities
practically every man nowadays wears
sleeping garments of some sort, 1t is
not so everywhere throughout the
country. There are everywhere men
whose occupations would prevent
them from wearing sleeping garments,
men who must turn in ready to get up
and out at a moments notice. And
there are still great numbers Of men,
in smaller places and in remoter parts,
who have not yet learned the comfort
and healthfulness of sleeping gar
ments.
The same thing cannot be said of
women. Women everywhere, the coun-
try over, and in city and country alike,
do wear nightgowns, as they have
long, if not always done. Do women
wear pajamas in these days? Well,
some, but not many.
ut was little fad to wear them,
for time, and there are some women
who now wear them; but their num-
Der is not large and the custom is not
growing"

Like that of all ancient countries,
the genuine history of Norway cannot
