The Whistling Girl,
The whistling girl does MX commonly
com to bad end. Quite aa often aa any
other girl he learn to whistle a cradle
aong, low and aweet and charming, to the
young voter in the oradle. She li a girl of
spirit, ot Independence of cheracter, of
dash and flavor; and aa to lips, why von
must have some aort of presentable lips to
whistle; thin ones will not. The whistling
girl does not come to a bad end at all (if
marriage is still considered a good occupa
tion), except a cloud may be thrown npon
her exuberant young life by this rascally
proverb. Even if she walks the lonely
road of life, she has this advantage, that
he can whistle to keep her courage op.
But In a larger sense, one that this prac
tical age can understand, it is not true that
the whistling girt cornea to a bad end.

Africans with Tails,
Various stories have been told of the
tails of the Xiam Niamsof central Africa,
who have also been asserted to be canni
bals. Their tails have been described aa
smooth and as hairy, as peculiar to the
men. and as possessed by the men and
women both. The most interesting and
circumstantial account of this feature is
given by Dr. Hubsch, of Constantinople,
who examined a tailed Degress. Her tail
was about two inches long and terminated
lu a point. The slave dealer who owned
her said that ail the Xiam Niams had tails,
and that they were sometimes ten Inches
long. Dr. Holnch also saw a man of the
same race who had a tail an inch and a
half long, covered with a few bain; and he
knew at Constantinople the son of a physi
cian who was born with a tail an inch and
half long and one of whose grandfathers
bad a like appendage. The phenomenon,
be said, is regarded generally In the east aa
a sign of great brute force. Popular Sci

A Bright Girl's Way of Framing Pictures.
A wise youug woman who was the fortu
nate possessor of more good pictures than
be could afford to frame, bought a sheet
of pulp board at a printing office and made
a mat about five inches wide for a charcoal
picture. She cut the board very carefully
with a sharp knife, and after tacking the
picture on the wall the mat was put over
It ami secured with a small tack at each of
tne four corners. To relieve the plain look
she fastened a red ribbon across one lower
corner with brass headed tacks and slipped
five or six photographs under the ribbon
and the edge of the mat. The cost was
only ten cents and the effect remarkable.

The Oueea as a Mm her,
Th Rev. Robert Collyor recently
made an after dinner speech in the course
of which he laid some stress on tho pre
vailing trait of motherliness in the char
acter of Queen Victoria, and held it np
for admiration, '
It is well known that, especially
among the middle classes in Great Brit
ain, the magnificent habit of motherhood
notable in their monarch has been, per
haps, the main spring of her popularity.
The British matron feels that she has
her highest justification in the character
ef her queen.
The spectacle of the wife of the mar
tyr, John Rogers, who toothed the last
burning moments of her spouse by stand
ing around with nine small children and
one at the breast (as duly set down in
history and the New England Primer)
has hardly higher inspiration for the
British matron than the thought of the
I queen of England and her nine children.
all of whom in due course of tune haw
married ami (except in one instamt )
have given the British taxpayers much
to think about by having families of
truly roval proportions.
The noble trait of motherliness which
Or. Collyer praised so highly is only
natural to an august lady who has got so
fixed in the motherly attitude. It is in
deed her second nature.
The devotion to this high principle of
the whole British nation, classes and
masses alike, was finely shown by the
remark of a very simple minded and
enthusiastic young Englishwoman last
summer. An American traveler was
conversing with her at a garden party
where she was enjoying the excitement
of ber first season, and something was
said about the recently announced en
gagement of one of her friends, another
debutante. The young girl was asked
if she proposed to allow herself to bo
wooed and won by any of her many at
tendant cavaliers during her first sea
son, and she replied with towering nai
vete: "Oh, I fancy 1 shant marry until
Tve had a season or two to myself. But
when I do 1 hope I shall have as many
children as the qneenP This highly
British remark is a micocosm of the pop
ular taste in the tight little island touch
ing the great economic fact that the
family is the basis of the state. St
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Tea Gowns.
There is endless diversity in the shape
and trimming of tea gowns. They seeui
to get more elaborate and beautiful every
season. There are ethereal tea gowns,
nothing but gauze and lace; awthetic tea
gowns, made of crape woolen stuffs, with
flowing draperies; handsome tea gowns
composed only of rich brocades and vel
vets, and tea gowns of nuns cloth and
soft silk that are merely pretty. The
severe tea gown is generally made of self
colored silk trimmed with passementerie.
Cashmere is just as popular a material
sever.
An eccentric gown was made of pale
yellow cashmere veiled in front with
white lace and ornamented with float
ing ends of brown velvet falling in
stripes from the neck to the hem of the
skirt The ribbons were held in place
at the waist by the girdle.
A gorgeous French model was of vel
vet in one of the new intermediate
shades of brown, with a broad panel of
palest blue and gold brocade on each
side. It had an immense collar and a
long train set in plaits just below the
waist The front was cut in a new style
with long narrow ends like a mantle,
and fringed with iridescent beads. The
most beautiful gowns are generally made
of diaphanous fabrics.
One m peach colored crape enough
to make any woman "enthuse" had the
front composed of a careless mass of
yellow gauze and lace. The back was
adorned with a cascade of the same ma
terials, and tbe sleeves were draped with
tace at the top and finished at the wrist
with gauze ruffles. Most of the new
models have long sleeves, falling low
over the bands. Miss Mantalini in Pall

Origin of Leap Year Proposals.
Some one asked me the other day what
was tbe origin of women proposing mar
riage daring a leap year. I looked it np,
and while it may not be new to all I dare
say it will interest many. In the year
1288 a statute was published by tbe
Scotch parliament, of which tbe follow
ing is a copy, and is, to my mind, the
origin of the custom or idea. 1 do not
know that it is a custom or ever was:
"It is ordaint that dnring the reign of
ber maist bleasit majestie, Margaret, like
maiden, iadee of baitb high and low es
tate, shall hae liberty to speak to the
man she likes. Hit he refuses to take
her to be his wyf, he shale be mulct in
the sum of ane hundredity poundis or
less, as his estait may bee, except and
alwais gif he can make it appear that he
is betrothit to another woman; then be
hall be free."
After the dear old Margaret had
passed away the women became clamor
ous for their privileges, and to appears
them another act of parliament allowed
them the privilege every fourth year.
This year is leap year, and no doubt the
question will be asked. What gave rise to
the notion that women may do their
own courting? Interview in Chicago

"THE WHITE DEATH."
The ranch of Senor Bias was on a charm
ing slope, overlooking the broad, smooth
waters of one of the tributaries of the Pa
rana, ou whose opposite shore the rank
grass grew ten and twelve feet high.
The house Itself had a tropical charac
ter; it was Spanish-American, with a cool,
shady veranda, a long, low front, painted
walls and latticed windows, a spacious
court and a Aat roof, provided with a para
pet, which trove the whole structure the
appearance of a fort Many acres ot oulti-
vatcd land showed long lines of sugar cane
and tall trees laden with bananas, in sur
prising contrast to the dark, impenetrable
mass of wild bnshland which in the dis
tance surrounded the settlement
Senora Bias was one of the tropical beau
ties of whom Murillo dreamed.
I am going to test your gallantry," she
said, coming out on the veranda where I
sat by asking you to help me to water my
flowers, for with my lame hand it is not
easy for me to lift the heavy watering pot"
I am at your service, but allow me am
I wroiiKf to remiud you that you prom
ised to tell me the story of how your hand
was lamed."
"Certainly. Aa soon as the flowers are
watered we will have coffee on the veranda
and you will hear all about it"
Accordingly I was shortly afterward sip
ping coffee with the little Lolita, my boat's
only daughter, and my pet beside me, while
her mother rolled a cigarette, lighted it
and began as follows:
When we first came here, years ago, it
was a very different looking place. The
wild bushland reached to the edge of the
water, and was such a dark wilderness of
thorns, brambles, palms, wild fig trees and
other tropical vegetation that 1 did not
dare venture into its depths. But my bus
band and his workmen went manfully to
work, felled trees, uprooted stumps, made
hedges and ditches all day long, except in
the severest heat and I often saw them
come home so wearied that they would fall
asleep where they stood, and first think of
food three or four hours later when they
awoke.
After awhile they got a portion of the
ground under subjection, but after the
acres were cleared and we began to plant
we had a throng or toes to com bat Tbe
worst were the ants, which being watched
for on account of their depredations on
plantations have a way of making under
ground passages till they undermine tbe
whole surface. of a Held, and it falls In like
the crust of a cake.
Just north of us is a great gap in the
ground, full of bushes and wild grass, with
here and there some rotten timber, where
whole settlement sank in consequence of
the ants underming tbe foundations. From
this comes tbe saving we have in Para
guay that our worst enemies are tbe Indian
braves and the Indian ants.
Luckily, the only Indians in our vicinity
were friendly ones, who exchanged all
kinds of provisions, especially dried meats,
for knives and brandy. We poisoned the
ants, dug up their nests, flooded their pas
sageways with boiling water, and so, in a
great measure, were free from them, al
though even now they sometimes come
from the woods to attack the plantation.
But after them came another plague
snakes. For a long time I thought it was
hopeless to contend against them. My
husband used to call them the tax collect
ors, and they did come just as regularly.
ao day passed without our finding one or
more in the house. And once oh, heaven I
what a fright I bad!
When Lolita was a baby, my husband
and his men went off one morning to work,
as usual, and the child lay asleep on a mat
at the end of the room. Suddenly I saw on
the floor the skin of a mouse, from which
tbe whole body had been sucked, as from an
orange. I knew at once that a snake must
be near, for they feed on mice and eat them
in this fashion; but carefully as 1 looked
about me, I could see no snake, till all at
once it occurred to me that it might be un
der the baby's mat I snatched the child
np and placed ber in safety. Then I lifted
softly a part of the mat and there it was,
the long, slimy, green and gold reptile,
coiled up and fast asleep. Ah, how 1
jumpedl I ran out into the courtyard to
call for help. Luckily our man, Jose, was
there, and he killed the reptile. But as we
cleared more acres the snakes left us to hide
themselves in the forest 1 began to hone
our cares were ended, but they were only
just oegun. w lid beasts now first appeared
on the scene.
One morning while we were at breakfast
one of our herdsmen brought the news
that our cattle, which graze in the tall
grass on the other side of the river, had
been attacked by a jaguar that had killed
one of the bulls. The man who told us
this bad escaped with his life, yet he n-ould
have scarcely done so if he had not misled
tbe beast, or had there not been a fat ox
there.
A week passed without a new alarm, and
we bad come to think less about it wben
suddenly three or four Indians rushed in
to tell us how a great jaguar had broken
mto their camp and killed a woman and
one of their dogs.
When my husband heard tbe story be
judged that ft was the same animal that
had attacked our bull, for the Indians de
scribed it as a creature of singular color,
far lighter than any they had seen about
there, so that they named it "The White
Death."
We all thought it high time to do some
thing, and my husband called his people to
gether to go out and bunt tbe ani mal
I remember that morning distinctly.
They went away cheerfully enough, each
man with his gun and hunting knife, and
Moro, our bloodhound, was with them. My
husband turned around just as be entered
the wood and kissed his band to me; then
be and his companions vanished In the for
est. When I found myself with Lolita alone
In tbe house and thought of what might
happen if they met that terrible wild ani
mal, such anxiety seized me (although I
never thought I could be In danger), that

myself In the great sitt ng room, took o-
Uta on my lap and tried to tell ber a story.
Suddenly I heard a scratching along t he
roof, and then a dull thud, as If something
heavy had fallen.
Anxious and nervous as I was, I started
up with a cry, although I bad no presenti
ment what it was.
Tbe next moment I heard Just over me a
sound which I could not mistake a long,
passionate roar a cry that I had often
heard from the woods at night, and never
without feeling as if my heart stood still.
The thought rushed through my mind,
"Oh, heaven, the Jaguar!"
I shall never fotget that moment I For a
second I was quite rigid and helpless, as if
life bad departed, and then a thought
flashed upon me; the Jaguar was not to be
kept off if bs penetrated here from the
roof, for most of tbe inner doorways had
only draperies. In my dining room was a
great wooden meal chest, nearly empty, and
large enough to bold six or seven persons
tt once. If Lolita and I could get there,
thought I, we are saved.

dining room and crept into tbe chest. TJo

Was forced to hold th lid open with my
left hand, to guanl against Its locWtig and
immediately stilling hut it had more
than an inch of outer run, which com
pletely hid my fingers, '
It was not a niomeut too soon. We were
scarcely hidden, when 1 heard the great
claws scratching along th floor, and the
hungry siunilng of the jaguar showed uie
that lie was In search or rood,
lie came straight to the chest and paused
a moment as if he feared a trap. Then he
put his head close to th small oiening, so
that I could feel his hot breath. He sullied
awhile aud then triad to raise the lid with
his paw.
How I trembled! But, thank heaven,
the great paw would not go In the narrow
crevice, and I held the cover fast by cling
ing to the iuner part of th lock with all
the strength of desperation. All he could
do was to stretch out his tongue and lick
my fingers until they bled aa if they had
been scratched by a saw. And then, as he
tasted blood, and heard Lolita cry (for my
poor darling was just as frightened as I
was), his eagerness Increased and he began
to utter piercing yells, which sent Icy chills
over ma
I wonder why the fright did not kill me,
bnt the touch of Ixtlita's little arm around
my neck seemed to keep up my courage.
Still the worst was yet to come.
When the jaguar found that he could
not reach me from lie low ha sprang upon
the chest ilia huge weight crushed my
lingers between the two parts of the lock.
Then I thought all was over and shrinked
so that my cries rang through the whole
bouse.
But my cries were presently answered by
a sound which made my heart throb with
joy answered by the barking of our blood
hound. The jaguar heard it too, for he
sprang down and stood for a moment lis
tening, then ran to the door as if to flee.
Agaiu came th sound of the dog's hark
this time nearer and at the same time
the voices of men calling to each other.
Contrary to expectation they wen already
coming back.
Meanwhile the jaguar seemed to be be
wildered, and ran wildly to and fro. Sud
denly a loud cry came from one of the win
dows, followed by two shots and a fearful
howl; then my husband's voice anxiously
called:
"Cachita, when are your"
I had just strength enough left to get out
ot the chest drag myself to the door and
let my husband in. Then I swooned away.
They told me afterward that our blood
hound found the jaguar's trail, leading
straight back to the house, and they all
hurried home at full speed, fearing harm
would come to ma
My husband and Jose came in front of
the rest and shot the jaguar through tbe
window, but my husband told me that
when he saw the animal In the bouse he
felt as if stifled.
I could not move a joint of that hand for
many weeks afterward. Tbe Indians gave
me medicine to heal it. and they say that af
ter awhile I shall be able to use It again. I
did not need this injury to make me remem

because It is in opposition to the old couu

It is not very likely that government of

other risk, there would tap great danger of
arresting some one who was wearing a
