Panama Lions.

The lion of the Panama jungle is Of
two kinds-black and tawny. Full
grown, he stands thirty inches high.
His breast is broad, like that of a bull
dog; his legs are long; his head is
square, but catlike. He growls like a
lion, but ends with bark. He has
never been known to attack man, but
the natives of the jungle fear him. He
would be a dangerous adversary at
close quarters.

in the patriarch's dream. Its base rests
on the primeval earth; its crest is lost

rean; while the great writer's who for
traditionary ages have held the chain
of science and philosophy, of poesy
and erudition, are the angels ascend
ing and descending the sacred scale.

to do with the design, this being of
quite recent application. The origin
of the design is not known but it is
quite generally believed to represent
the head of spear; by others the
flower of a lily, the floral emblem of
France.

Java's Coca Trade.

For many years the Dutch colony,
Java, has controlled the market for
cinchona bark, at least so far as the

been supplying the demand for coca
leaves, the raw material from which
cocaine is derived.

Many Colors in
Autumn Clothes

New York.--It Is cabled from Paris
that IA colors have been introduced
into our autumn costunery.
This is joyful news to the dressmak-
er as well as to the amateur In color
schemes, but 1t brings sense of de-
preston to the artist. The vast as
sembling of colors In one season Is
excellent for the commerce of coun-
try 1t provides q persuasive plea to
be vsed to coax the coin out of purses;
1t gives clerk something to talk
about; ii enhances the pleasure of
shopping to The woman who Is never
certain what she wants to wear; 1t
gives to the inveterate shopper7-the
woman who goes from store to store
on pleasure bent, and who does not
buy enough in season to warrant one
shopping tour-another chance to
stimulate her excitement.
One is tempted to speculate on the
reduction of excitement that will come
TO that kind of shopper IL the no-sam-
pie law and the no-returned-goods law
come into effect this autumn.
The shopper who finds her greatest
stimulation of the day in vaguely spec
ulating on what she can make out of
everything she sees, and, to aid In her
medltations ON this subject, requests
that samples Of each color and materi-
al be given to her, will experience de-
preston IL samples are refused and
goods are not sent up for approval.
The shops of the American contl-
nent are fighting this question today
to the best of their ability. They're
ranging up all the advantages and dis
advantages, in two parallel lines and
having great experts find out whether
or not 1t Is advisable to make drastic
change.
Protest Against Wastage.
The cry of the country is against the
wastage of food and fabric, and the
designers are contemplating the cut
ting off Of all frills, superfluous pock-
cts and extra bits of cloth that are not
necessary to make clothes smart.
Surely, If the designers are deter
mined to cut off unnecessary inches of
material In the making of costumes,
the merchants will find 1t advisable to
refuse to give samples. The figures
that have been made out by the ex-
perts as to the wastage of fabric in
the giving of samples by every shop on
this continent read like war statistics.
They deal in billions, instead of hun
dreds.
The merchants are quite aware that
1T may. work to their disadvantage to
refuse samples, and 1t may be that

Tucked Fronts on New sIouses.

One noticeable feature of many Of
the new blouses is the tucked front.
This usually appears on the more con-

front is of the same material, in this
case. as the blouse. For instance. a
