Death of Mrs. l.. n. Bellinser.

Mrs. Josephine Bellinger, wife of Mr.
l.. N. Bellinger, died at their home in this
city last Saturday night about nine
o'clock. She was taken suddenly i'll last
Thursday with congestion, and never re-
gained consciousness. Mrs. Bellinger had
been in feeble health for year or more
She was seventy years old, and had been
consistent member OF the Methodist
church since early youth.
A very sadincident connected with hel
death is that Mr.. Bellinger was away on
a surveying trip up in Lexington county
near Swansea, and did not get here until
Monday morning. No one knew where
to reach him until letter from him was
received Saturday night, and he was then
out in the country away from telegraph
Office.
Mrs. Bellinger was Miss Fishburne
before her marriage, and had many rela-
tives and friends in this community. She
leaves no children, those OF her marriage
having died several years ago.
The burial took place at the old GENE
tery beside her children Monday after
noon at four o'clock, the services being
conducted by Rev. A. J. Foster. The pal
bearers were: Messrs. E. G. Bruce, C.
R. Brabham, II. c. Folk, ". N. McCue
G. P. Harmon and L. G. Price.
The bereaved husband has the sympa
thy of a very large circle of friends in his
sad afliction.

1t Paws to Advertise.

4 lady who understands advertising
says: "No lady wishes to be looked upon
as shopping iend, she does not care to
go into the store and have a merchant
show all his stock in order to find out
whether be keeps what she wishes tc
purchase and whether the article is sold
at price she can afford. 1t is much cas-
ier and pleasanter to look through the
advertisements in paper than 1t IS to
bore the clerks and waste her own time
Advertisements in paper stating articles
for sale with prices, will keep much OF
the money that goes to the large cities at
home" Put your ads. in The Herald now,
and you will be sure of large fall trade

The becoming breakfast jacket al

much to commend It. The backs are
sufficiently fitted to do away with any
disa agreeable sense of a negligee, and
the fronts are loose enough to mean
perfect comfort and relaxation.
There is becoming big collar at the
neck, and the sleeves can be either
in the fashionable three-quarter or
full length as may be liked. In >ais
instance the material IS pretty ba-
tiste trimmed with embroidered
banding and little frills Of white
linen lawn, but there are so many
appropriate ones that the list is al
most too long to be given in full.
Many washable materials, lawn and
similar fabrics, are we'll liked, while
China and India silks are exceed

sort, and albatross, henrietta and

pleats at the fronts serve effectually
to conceal the seams joining them
to the side-fronts. There is fiat
collar at the neck, and the sleeves
are moderately full, finished with
shaped cuffs. The girdle is cut in
five portions, the many seams allow
ing perfect fit.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and one

one-half yards twenty-seven or two
yards forty-four inches wide, with
one-fourth yard of silk for the collar
and twelve and one-half yards of

The Habits of the okapi.

Captain Costing writes from Angu,
River Welle: ION the chance of their
proving of interest, send herewith
40me notes on the okapi that exists
IN the forest contained by the rivers
Welle, Libuati and Rubi.
1.-THE okapi here is generally found
Kingly or in pairs, but Mobatti hunt
@rs state that sometimes three may
be found together. An essential to
the life of the okapi is small stream
Of water with some muddy and
6wampy ground on either side. In
this grows certain large leaf that
On its single stalk attains height of
ten feet. 1t Is the young leaf of this
plant that is the favorite food of the
Okapi, and I venture to say that
where the plant is not to be found
the animal will not exist. During
the night he will wander along in the
mud and water in search of it. Here
he may be found feeding as late as
eight o'clock in the morning, after
which he retires to the seclusion of
the forest, where he remains till
nearly dusk. On the three occa-
gions that I was at close quarters
with the beast, he was perfectly con-
oealed in this swamp leaf.
''Near the River Welle found his
epoor on ground frequented by buff
kalo and waterbuck, but this is I'M
usual and his companions in the for
est are the elephant, the greater
Dushbuck, the yellow backed and
small red dujkers. The okapi is very
quick of hearing and in that respect

Linen Embroidery.

A linen parasol to match, orna-

gram in white, and embroidered linen
shoes of the same color are desirable
accessories with such a frock, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph. Linen
shoes embroidered in self color are
for sale in a majority of the linen
shades or can be made to order. An
other experimental fancy in footwear
though not so well calculated to win
favor, is the skoe of white canvas or
linen striped in pin stripes of color
and tied with ribbons matching the
stripe.

and third nil, and twenty miles south
in the forest, on very likely ground,
where my guides said they were
formerly numerous, there was one
emily, probably owing to rubber col
Bectors who had been there.
THE okapi is killed occasionally
by the natives, speared, shot or
trapped by the common African
method. At the first village visited
three had been speared at various
times, at the second and third one
each, and in the forest referred to

an easy exit could be made. In the
