NAVIGATING TIGERS
Inhabitants of corean-ManchU
Border in Constant Terror.
Villages Visited Almost Daily by the
Beasts and Absolutely Disregard
the Efforts of the Poorly Armed
Natives to Kill Them.

VladiVOstock. from the
Corean-Manchu border bring star tIing
tales of the activities of the Siberian
tigers in that locality. According to
an English writer, who just has re-
turned from an extensive trip IN that
region, the natives live in a constant
state Of abject fear for their lives
Some Of the villages are visited al
most daily by tigers, who, with an alb
solute disregard of the efforts of the
mildly combative natives and the
dozen or two small spears and arrows
that eventually, porcupine quill fash
lon, decorate their rough hides, smash
in hut doors and proceed to devour
everybody in sight. Unable to get
within striking distance of live prey
these tigers will visit the graveyards.
The natives of the smaller villages.
with their primitive arms, being pow
erless against these man-eating
beasts, big battues are organizing in
Seoul and are sallying forth in an eff
fort to rid the country Of the "noxious
Yermin.''
Hunting tigers along the Corean-
Manchu border is not the chtId's play
mat trailing similar beasts in India
has become. There is none of the
difficulty and evaporation of having
to deal with a small army of native
beaters; for, unlike the jungle tiger of
Bengal, who sleeps away the day and
pounces by night o. his prey at drink
ing places, the northern beast is at
his fullest activity by day. Instead of
having to steal, from the security of
an elephant howdah, with a sleepy,
surprised creature that covers, alarm
ed by the beafers. from the path of
your /ponderous mount, one is out to
encounter a thoroughly well-awake
brute, ravaging the open countryside;
and you are, if you follow the Russian
custom, afoOt. One may rely on the
element of sport beng well to the
fore.

For the Wee One.

During the winter months warm
wrapper to slip over the baby when he
is being taken from one room to an
other is a necessity. A very pretty
one may be made of nuns yelling in
pink or blue, with an UNDERLYING Of
thin wadding and batiste. The dainty
little garment might be embroidered
or scalloped round the edge and would
prove a pretty present for baby and
also a most useful one
The wrapper should be large enough
to slip on easily, for nothing jars
child's nerves more than to be forced
into coat that is too small, and if the
wrap takes the form of cape it is
equally necessary that it be large
enough to envelop the little form when,
as in this case, warmth is the object
to be secured

Evil of Idleness.

Work develops all the good there is
in a man; idleness all the evil Work
sharpens all his faculties and makes
him thrifty; idleness makes him lazy
and a spendthrift. Work surrounds
a man with those whose habits are
industrious and honest; in such society
a weak man develops strength, and
a strong man is made stronger. Idle
ness, on the other hand, is apt to throw
man into the company Of men whose
object in life is usually the pursuit Of
unwholesome and demoralizing diver
sions.-Darius Ogden Mills

IAN Englishman who recently ar

kind of animal it was and the name of
it, he was told that it was a pOIecat.
After he had changed his clothes he
sat down and wrote to his family back
in England as follows:

When Mamma Failed to Beam.

q little girl, who attracted all the
passengers on the tram car with her
singular sweetness, was asked by a
lady who sat next to her: "And did
santa Claus bring you a dolly at
Christmas %
Yes, indeed" said the little girl,
and all the passengers smiled, while
the mother beamed at the attention
her child was receiving.
He brought me two dolls" contin-
ued the child to the strange lady, land,

dolls heads comes right off-just like
mammals"
And every one smiled again, but the
mother did not beam.

EMBROIDERY HINTS.

For many uses in fine needlework the best scissors are not embroidery scissors at all, but long, slender ones, with curving ends, sold for manicuring purposes. Of course, there are cheap ones, that will prove unsatisfactory, but a really good pair with sharp tips that meet to perfection will prove a possession well worth paying for. For fine drawn work these little scissors are particularly useful. With them one can cut smoothly the fine threads and yet run no risk of going beyond Q certain line Of threads and running a bit of work on which you have put hours of careful attention. While for cutting the linen away from worked soallops there is nothing to equal them Oddly enough, the proper way to use them Is with the outer curve toward the embroidery, not with the curve fol- lowing that of the scallop. The latter is far too much of a risk, as the keen little tips will easily cut farther than one expects. 4 little practice will make the other way the natural one, and when held thus they are under control and will cut only the threads at which one aims, This applies to the drawn work as well, where it is imperative to cut not one tiniest thread beyond the ones measured and counted.

Q WINTER coLoRs.

An effective touch of orange is all ways striking with brown, and this has led to this color which has been So long neglected, being revived for trim mings, especially in millinery and for very lavish wear in evening dress. Orange colored gowns. and still more, oloaks of satin or velvet, are among the most striking notes of the season, and particularly pleasing when a tone of peach shines through the bloom of the deeper color and the garment Is bordered with skunk or sable or brown toned marabout.
 Purple and violet and all the shades within this gamut of color are pecu- liarly suitable for evening wear. In soft cloths and velvet they look their best, and combined with fur, purple makes real garmSnt. One does not know why 1t should be so, but there is some special harmony between purple and all sorts Of fur A chinchilla pe- lerine, stole of marten sable, a scarf of ermine, all alike are more opulent in effect on a background of purple than with any other color, and this is perhaps the reason why dignified mild dle age looks it's best in a purple gown when fur and lace are added to the richness of color and the soft effective ness Of material.

A BRIDES SLIPPERS.

One of the most well loved gifts of recent bride was the pair of slender " hite slippers that completed her bri- cal outfit The slippers themselves were of pure white satin, but the vamp was entirely covered with lace, cro- cheted in baby Irish pattern of twisted white silk. instead Of thread The shoe nGfer mad cut for the lacemaker the exact shape and the effect was charm ing. The pivot ground had on 1t only some very tiny solid figures here and thete. besides the silken rose in the middle of the front, but the place of the buckle was taken by much larger rose or many rows of petals. The re- suit was really unique. and the pretty trifes will be kept with family heir looms, to be handed down to future generations The same idea could have been utilized for handsome lace of any sort but care must be taken to have the work as smoothly even as possible and to allow sufficient plain ground" around the edges to permit Of their being made up without too much trou- ble for the shoemaker.
