Spider Web Wells Are Gruesome in

Spider Web Wells Are Gruesome in
Suggestion.
nlD you ever walk down a country
- lane in the dark and feel a spider
web across your face? The new spider
web veilings make one think of this
experience and bring to mind the specu-
lation which assailed one in the country
lane to whether the spider stayed
with the web or escaped to the tree
trunk The spider-web wells are in line
with the queer mystery" wells which
gave their wearers a black eye or a
bruised cheek in effect, and are as &C.
centric as even a Parisienne could de-
sire. There are half a dozen webs in
each veil and they are separated by
woven lines of heavier silk in the yelling.
How to Hang Skirt Without
STOPPING.
IT. HERE is a new and very clever de-
! vice for measuring a skirt length,
and one which--unlike most OF these
contrivances-may be manipulated with
out the assistance OF a dressmaker or
kind friend who will knee on the floor
while one stands before "a mirror. The
new skirt hanger is simply long rod
of steel with a sharp pin that moves up
and down and may be adjusted at any
height. If the skirt is to escape the noor
by two inches. adjust the pin two inches
from the bottom of the rod; rest the rod
on the floor so that the PIN thrusts itself
through the skirt. twist OF the wrist
lifts the skirt and a cha mark may be
placed at the point where the pin goes
through the fabric. SO on all around the

CARRIED OFF BY A LION.
Thrilling Experience of Ranger In
the Transvaal.


Two men at least have given ac-
counts of their sensations when they
were carried off by lions-the great ex-
plorer Livingstone and man named
Wolhuter, ranger of game preserves
in the Transvaal VOLUNTEERS sdven-
ture is not secondary in interest to
Livingstone's experience. His story
which was attested by the certificate
of the magistrate of the district. was
substantially as follows:
He was riding along a Kaiir path
about an hour after sunset. IT -
been long march. and he had PIT
on ahead of his companions. His dc:
barked at somethinC and a momen
later Wolhuter saw lion crouchns
close to him on the right hand side.
The ranger turned his horse sharply
a circumstance that no doubt caused
the lion to miss the spring.
Wolhuter was unseated. At the same
moment he saw another lion coming
from the opposite direction. The
horse rushed off, with the first lion
in pursuit, and the second lion picked
WoIhuter up almost before he touched
the ground and gripped him by the
right shoulder in such a position that
he was face up, with his legs and body
dragging underneath the beast. The
lion trotted down the path, uttering a
loud. growing, purring noise.
VOLUNTEERS sensations were not those
Of Livingstone, who said he was in a
state of apathy, with entire absence Of
pain during the time the lion had him.
The game ranger suffered terribly,
both mentally and physically, and saw
no possible way of escape. The lion
took him nearly 200 yards.
Suddenly Wolhuter bethought him Of
his sheath knife, which he carried in
his belt behind his right hip. On reach
Ing large tree with overhanging roots
the lion stopped, whereupon Wolhuter
stabbed him twice in the side with his
left hand. 1t was ascertained after
ward that the first stab touched the
bottom of the heart and that the sec
ond one slit it down for some distance.
The lion Immediately dropped VOL
huter. and again the game ranger
struck him, this time in the throat,
severing an artery.
The lion jumped back and stood fac
ing him. growing Wolhuter scram-
bled to his feet shouting at the top of
his lungs. He expected the beast to
come at him again, but it did not. In
stead. it turned slowly and, still growl-
ing. went a few PAGES. Soon its groWls
turned to means. These, in turn,
ceased. and the ranger knew that the
beast was then dead.
Wolhuter got up the tee as fast as
his injured arm would permit. and
hardly was he seated when the first
lion. which had been after the horse
came back on the trail of blood. BY
this time the plucky ranger was Sc
faint that he tied himself to the tree
to prevent himself from falling out.
He was found by his companions
who took him to place of safety. The
lion he had killed was an old male. anC
the weapon used was an ordinary
sheath knife-New York Tribune.
