SOME WILD ANIMAL TRAGEDIES.
Hunters Find Proof of Savage Doings
in the Woods.

When we laid hands upon Huffman's
prize and examined it a strange and in
teresting story of wild animal life was
revealed, says w. T. H. Hornaday in
Scribner's. About three months pre-
viously, that is to say about August
l, that deer had been leaped upon,
from above, by mountain lion. It's
right ear was fearfully torn and there
was big wound on the top of the
neck where the skin and flesh had
been torn open. The main beam of the
right antler had been broken off half
way up, while the antlers were still in
the velvet. The ends of the broken
antler had healed over in a way that
enabled 1t to fix the date of the en-
counter with fair degree of accuracy.
Both the hind legs had been either
clawed or bitten, but we could not
surely determine which.
A few days later we found about two
miles above our camp, close beside the
dry bed of He'll creek, the story of an
other wild animal tragedy. On thy

All the other enlightened Asfatic
countries share this East-Indian atti-
tude towards Japan. China appears
to be wide-awake in this respect
From the manner in which the Celes-
tials are protesting against allowing
the Japanese to smuggle arms and
provisions of war into Manchuria at
the present time it is evident that the
Dragon Empire is alive to the menac-
ing attitude Japan has assumed
toward Asia. The possibility of a
war between Japan and China perhaps
depends upon how full the Golfers Of
the Japanese exchequer are; or how
much money England and other pro.
Japanese occidental nations can loan
the mikado's government; but certain
it is that the entire orient is vibrant
with a dread of the new Japanese
slogan: asia for the Japanese"

Made a Sensation.
To one of the conservative stores
downtown a young woman came the
other day, quietly appareled as to color
and cut of her dress, but with her
navy blue gown coquettishly slit to
the knee, displaying dark blue silk
stocking and Louis Quinze slipper of
small proportions. She began to buy

and other places.
There is a sudden stampede, and in

scorching look at the crushing crowd,
which will hardly allow her to move,
makes her way to the entrance and

material below the waist, known to-
day as the Paquin cut. The success
of the sheath, then as now, depended
on it's clinging to the figure, showing
every line and curve, and ending at
the feet with fad of drapery suggest
ed by the sculptured draperies of the
Greek statues. If you note carefully
made sheath skirt turned out at the
Paquin establishment, or at any other
of the Partisan houses, you will easily
trace the Hellenic resemblance, and in
fact, in some places the sheath is
known as the Ionian skirt on this ac-
count.
ITO make the sheath a success
great attention must be given to the
undergarments. Paquin designed for
it a new style of boomers. so that
petticoats need not be worn and the
waist and hip lines should not
be destroyed by a lot of un-
necessary material. These bloom
ers fit closely to the figure
and are fulled slightly above the knee
not too much, mind-and have few
rows of lace put on without very much
surplus, just sufficient to give the
dainty and feminine touch to a gar
ment which is not essentially attrac-
tive.
"All the models in his place wore
these boomers at first with the sheath
skirts. Now silk tights or feshings
are worn if required, as many women
who wear the sheaths prefer them,
just as many prefer to spoil their
shape with the intrusion of the old
style petticoat or drop, which should
never be worn with them.
Producing the Soft Fall.
"The soft fall about the feet which
is so much admired by the aesthetical-
ly inclined is produced by various de-
vices, usually small shot which are
sewed to a band of tape, which in turn
is fastened to the edge of the skirt or
a few inches from the edge. as pre-
ferred. Paquin used rubber band at
the knee which went around the skirt
and drew it in to give the required eff

sheath skirts have two rubber loops
through which the foot passes, but
this style, although it gives the sheath
walk all right, is very trying to an ac-
tive minded woman, as she must never
forget them, and while she may not
mind the selfconsciousness she does
mind the discomfort.

of the new sheath skirt was at the

there-began joking and laughing and

She tried it and tore the costume all
to pieces along the sides. After that
the sheath walk was adopted, which is

PuritanicaI Ideas Criticised.


"The very people who will sit on a
beach and watch the short skirted
swimmers, standing, sitting and run
ming about, displaying lines and curves
with generous abandon, are the very
people who have these Puritanical out
bursts at the mere idea of showing the
same amount OF figure on the street.
Why is it?" she asked.
The pulpit has denounced the sheath
skirt, which ought to encourage the
makers, and one of the leading lights
in the suffrage cause has come boldly
forward in its favor. The stage backs

fancfes and fads that woman ha. bsen
taught to believe are the symbols of
her power, and that she has little real
sympathy with the republican SIM
plicity that would be foisted upon her
by a minority of her sex. She eschews
everything that is severe, rigid, mas
culine, and riots in the distinction
drawn between her gowning and that

their sex to something more important
than chiffons.

Simply Swing of Pendulum.

Simply Swing of Pendulum.
Paris showed the same tendencies
right after the simplicity enforced by
the French revolution, and every crisis
of history there has had similar eff
feet. The prevalent fashions of to-day
are the fashions of the boudoir, Of the
drawing room, of the auto, not of the
business or the professional world.
"a few years ago business and pro-
fessional women saw in the adoption
of the tailor mades, the short walking
skirt and various other unitarian
modes a disappearance of the lines Of
demarcation between classes To-day
they are looking with dismay at the
chasm that is opening.
"Take the sheath skirt as example.
A working woman must eliminate that
from her wardrobe. She could not ap-
pear in court, at her business desk in
it, not only because it would be
physically impossible for her to do her
work so swathed, but also because it
would bring into business and prcfes-
sional life the very feminine element
she is trying to keep away.
"The sheath skirt woman is opposed
body and soul to her sex's freedom.
The gowning of to-day is challenge.
Use all the arguments you have at
your disposal, one woman says to her
sister of the other world. and we will
destroy them with the waving of a
scarf and the curve of figure in a
clinging gown"
An expert on woman's dress who
has given 81 years of his life to it's
study poohpoohs the idea that there is
any such psychology in dress.
Nothing of the kind" he says, firm
ly. He says it as one who knows. Il
do not think it is necessary to find
occult explanations for such obvious
facts.

Japan's program of expansion, it
may be remarked, is much like that
of England. The island nation of the
orient appears to be bent the same
way as the island nation of the occi-
lent. England went to India for trade
purposes. The East-India Company,
a purely commercial organization of
monopolists, finding that the govern
ment of the day in India was impotent
and that general lawlessness and an
archy prevailed, formed visions of OBJ
tanning the political supremacy of
Hindostan; since the throttling of the
Indian industries and the control Of
the East-Indian markets could then.
by control of the tariff, be more effec-
lively and easily brought about.
When the English went to India It
was the East-Indian gold" that at
tracted them. At that time the coun-
try was industrially prosperous. East
Indian muslins and brass and wood
art work were the furore of France
and England in that day; but with
in a few decades the law was so
made and administered by the British
that English manufactures dis
placed the East-Indian, just as the
Englishman displaced tbs natives of
the land in the government Offices.
Within few generations the East
Indians fell from their pre-eminent in
dustrial position and to-day. by means
of a boycott of English goods and
various other devices employed
to overcome the barriers placed in
their way by the alien tariff makers
aud administrators, they are just re-
generating themselves from the low
est and most discouraging sloughs of
decadence.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-07-24

Count Okuma has since corrected
this report of his speech and declares
that he did not mean that Japan
should politically subjugate India, but
only meant that the island nation
should commercially exploit it. Raman.
da Chatterji, the editor of the Mod.
ern Review, one of the highest class
East-Indian publications under purely
native management, trenchantly com.
ments on this point:
at is not often that we shall hear so
honest an avowal as is contained in
this extract, of the real aims and inten-
tons of Japan. . The japanese
ambassador in London was referred
to before publication for his comment
on Count Okuma's speech, and he au.
swered that it referred only to trade
interests. 1t will be strange indeed
if Englishmen can accept this expla.
nation. A speech which referred to
trade interests only, POUNDS all it's
sanction-not on South sea or char
tered enterprises, not on the history
of factories or merchant colonizations,
but-on Alexander the Great, on Mo.
manned and Oh Attila. The Eng
lish are alone in Europe in being
blind to the aims of Japanese foreign
policy. Certain it is that should
English policy drive the people OF
any Asiatic country into a despairful
acceptance OF the Japanese, the PEG.
pie of that land would ever after have
cause to curse the day. If we want
to know wha! are likely to be the
methods of Japanese rule, it is well
that we should keep our eyes upon
