What One Woman Did.

Every housewife knows low soon pill
low cases wear out, but it took a re-
markedly clever woman to see at a
slsnosss how She could prolong their
lives. When her pillow cases are. be-
ginning to show signs of wear she
takes out.the seam at the bottom of the
case and turns it round, so that the side
seams come directly up in the middle.
Then she reseam the bottom. 1t is
easy to see that this will bring the side
of the pillow undo the head; where the
wear would come. SO The pillow case
will last longer. A better idea could
not be found. and who minds sewing
up a pillow case seam?

FIRST GIRAFFE IN EUROPE.

DR.. johnson, as is well known, re-
fused Tor many months to believs in
the Lisbon earthquake, and Parisians
formerly were just as sceptical as to
the existence Of the giraffe, a new
specimen tof which has just been
added to the Jardin des Plantes. The
earliest specimen of these gentle
creatures was seen in Paris in the
reign of Louis XVI. We learn from a
French contemporary that the giraffe
was first heard of in 1887, when it
was described by a Frenchman named
Levaillant, who had journeyed in the
lands OF the Hottentots and Kafirs.
When the explorer referred to the
animals with the long necks, he was
looked upon as a Munchausen. and
told that he was such in not the po-
Iitest language. It was only when
some living specimens arrived In the
French capital that Levaillant's rep
