HEROIC COWS.
Almost any female bird or animal
will attack another animal, or even a
man, in defense of Its young. A mother
artrldge baa been known to fly In a
man's face In order to blind bis eyes
long enough for her young to hide
themselves. As for the cow she Is
capable of facing a whole pack of
wolves in defense of her calf If the
alf la young enough. If It has ap
proached the weaning period, she will
try likely abandon It to an enemy
and take to her own heels.
The editor of the Condon (Oregon)
Globe saw a deed of cow-valor lately
that waa worth recording as well aa
eeelng. A herd of cattle, and among
them two cows accompanied by their
calves, were gracing In tall dead grass
when the ealvea became separated a
little from the rest of the herd. Just
then two huge, hungry coyotes crept
up through the grass, cut off the calves
from the rest of the cattle and started
la pursuit of them. After running
about two hundred yards, the calves
came to a high, flve-wlred barbed
wire fence, and being small, managed
to get through It. On the other side
of the fence was an open pasture.
, The wolves quickly followed the
calves through the fence, and were
rapidly running them down on the
other aide, when the wo cow-mothers
discovered what was going on. Each
uttered a loud bellow, holated her tall
and started for the rescue. It appeared
to be a hopeleas chase, for the wire
fence intervened, and the cows were
certainly much too large to get through
it. They knew well enough that it waa
there, and could, besides, see It plainly,
hut both cows plunged together
straight Into it.
The watching editor, horrified, looked
to see them hurled back, frightfully
wcunded; but instead one of the posts
gave way under the onslaught; the
wires aank down, and in another mo
ment the mothers were on the pasture
aide of the fence, badly cut and bleed
ing, but still able to charge the wolves
successfully and put them to flight.
Soon the cows were licking the res
cued calves affectionately, and the coy
ote were howling a disappointed duet
from the summit of a knoll near by.
A Marrslom Xaedlr.
Among the many treasures owned by
the queen is a wonderful needle made
for her in Buckinghamshire. The
needle is a miniature of the Roman
column of Trajan, but Instead of the
exploits of Roman emperors, scenes in
the life of Her Majesty are depicted.
One shows the queen when a young
girl at Tunbrldge Wells, another
scene is the coronation at Westminster,
while a third shows the royal marriage
with the prince consort. The figures
In all these scenes can only be made
out plainly by the aid of a magnifying
(lass. The needle can also be opened,
and It contains several others, all of
the same form, and all are adorned
with miniature figures In relief.

freak museum manager wrote a
party in Kentucky naming an offer
tor a rope with which any man had
been lynched. The party replied: "We
have none on hand now. but have
placed your order on file, and you are
likely to hear from ua soon."

The nobility easily take rank among
atory teller, llaron Munchausen, of
Oour. atands first, with Sir John Fal
staff a xo-kI second, and now cornea my
Lady Middletun. a very good third. The
coble lady baa written for an English
periodical publication an account of
aome remarkable recoveries of lost
property. In one ease a valuable ring
wa liwt Veara afterwards, when a
dear waa removed, the Jewel waa found
wedged tightly around the neck of the
akeleton of a mouse. The ring bad
fullen through a crack In the floor; the
niouhe, half-grown at the time, had
thrust Ita bead Into It; had tbua been
caught, and had grown until It waa
strangled. Another cane: A gentle
man shot and wounded a aand-piper,
which, fluttering acrosa a pond, waa
seltt'd and devoured by a pike. Tbat
afternoon the sportsman's brother,
while fishing In the pond, caught a pike
in whose atomacb waa found the iden
tical aand-plper. Another caae: A la
dy who waa vlaltlng a relative lost a
ring. Six years after, while visiting
the same person, then living In a far
distant locality, she slipped her hand
thoughtlessly Into a receas of the chair
she was sitting In and found the miss
ing ring. Another case: A lady sup
ped at a royal ball, and one of the
golden spoons lodged, unknown to her,
In one of the pockets formed by the
plaits on the front of her dress. The
following year. In presentation to the
queen, she wore the Bame gown. As
she bent ia courtesylng the plait open
ed, and out fell the mlaalug spoon at
her sovereign's feet.
INTERESTING TO WOMEN.
A dainty bodice la of pink and white
silk gauze, with Insertions of yellow
lace. A little French blouse Is of blue
and red in null a, with a vest and point
ed collar of tomato red velvet.
A handsome traveling bag shown in
England was of crocodile leather In
green, with cut glass bottles having
silver gilt tops and lined with corded
silk. The fittings were all suitable
for removal to the dressing table. La
dies' traveling cases are now more pop
ular than the bags, as they will hold a
gown. They contain everything that
the heart of woman could wish. Be
sides the regulation cut glass bottles,
they have a manicure Bet, silver bot
tles for the powders, hand mirror,
smelling salts, card case, purse. Dank,
clock,'' Jewel case and pin boxes.
A delightful little frock Is of black
velvet, trimmed with black silk braid,
many rows being placed on the skirt.
The louave Jacket is trimmed the
same way and baa fronts and a Medici
collar trimmed with brocaded satin
colored flowers on a ground of white.
The effect Is of quiet simplicity and
richness.
A new gown has a bolero of white
cloth covered with V'a of gray braid.
An Indian red canvas gown lately seen
was trimmed with V-shape folds of
itself, the same arrangement being
carried out on bodice and skirt, with
a multitude of lace and chiffon frills
to trim the front, neck and wrists of
the corsage.
A tailor-made gown of terra-cotta Is
made lovely by revers and straps of
white cloth with white and gold but
tons. A handsome blouse of white satin
has the sleeves entirely covered with
steel hand embroidery. Over the
waist Is worn a xouave of Jet-embroidered
black net, with a blue satin
waist belt. The front ia of white tulle
spangled with steel sequins.
Another blouse of magenta silk is
picturesque with silver loops and but
tons opening on a front of white chif
fon, but is less original than one of
red pongee, with a black design,
worked in buttonhole stitch and
trimmed with a collar of tucked ba
tistes and insertion.
Foulard dresses are well represent
ed by a lovely pinky-blue bluet fane
trimmed with gauglngs of Itself. The
bodice 18 crossed at the back under a
sash of faded and deep corn-flower
blue. It has a coquettish Jabot of
cream lace fastened with steel clasps.
Karl Training; of Children.
To learn to respect the perfection ot
things is of infinite value to a child. It
it is a flower, to shelter and try to keep
It alive, never wantonly to pluck ana
fling away a blossom; If it is a book,
rot to deface or mar it; if it is a wall,
not to mark or deface it; if it ia a
smooth-rolled lawn, not to litter it
with rubbish nor to deface it with
wheel marks. To learn to wait patient
ly, all their life long they will give
thanks for having been taught how to
do this. How many a pleasant talk
has been interrupted, how many an
otherwise helpful visit has been lost by
a teasing, pulling child, tormenting its
mother either to listen to its demands
or to go somewhere.
The whole of ita life lies in what the
child learns of these things, and it must
either grow Into selfish manhood or
womanhood, or have the evil beaten
out by the bard and bitter teaching of
the world in which it was meant to be
happy and useful, rather than to begin
thus late to learn that we cannot live
unto ourselves.

Pineapple street, rirooiljri-
The cat's name was Reginald, buv it
will be noticed that Reginald 1 de
scribed in tho advertisement a a
tabby cat Tbl apparent Incongruity
must bo tho New York f-un's only
apology for referring to Reginald in
an iwpersooal and impartial fashion
a -HU"
Reginald became conscious of the
worries of this world In tbe heart of
Knirland. Karly in life It came into
the possession of the Liltlejohn fam
ily, which oonsats at present of Mrs.
l.ittlejoha her son (Stewart who i
an artist and her daughter, who is a
blue eyed divinity.
Kegioald grew to be a wonderful
animal. It would turn marvelous
somersault, and seomad to under
stand alt Hint was ta.d. it wad particu
larly fond of tbe poetry which Miss
LilllOjOhn often read aloud. When
Kopgie sailed for America a year and
a hull ago it captivated all the other
pugsengers on tho ship. It paraded
up and down the deck with the hau
teur of an aristocrat and the steadi
ness of a born sailor.
Tho apartment house at No. 81
rinenppla etieet, in which Reginald
was domiciled bad already become
famous through being the res donee
of the young Californian author o
Through the I baparrul; or, the
Wingless Insects of Mia.it it County."
The Liltlejohn family took tho top
flat so that Reginald might have the
roof for its exercise. Here it grew to
tbe very large and handsome animal
Every morning Reggie rode arouud
the room on Mr l.ittlejoha' s shoul
dor, and whenever tha family returned
from a visit Reginald awaited them at
tbe door.
One day Reginald tripped lightly
out of a fifth-story window. Its ter
rified mistress rushed to tha base
ment expecting to fine bis mangled
body on tbe flagstones. Instead she
saw Reginald calmly stroking his
whisker. With pardonable prida
she had It photographed, and her
brother painted its portrait
One Saturday Reginald waa on tbe
roof with Miss Liltlejohn. Suddenly
it leaped down to the window sill of
the parlor window. Miss Little oho
rushed down stair, but Reggie had
disappeared. From that to t .Is, al
though anxious Inquiries have bean
made far and wide, nothing has been
seen of Reginald by the Little.ohn
family. Once somebody said it had
been seen in the navy yard, but tho
search there was fruitlesa
The Ltttlejohna although mourn
ing for Reginald as one who is dead,
still believe that it is alive. That it
was not killed by the fall is sure, for
its body would have been found. The
Littlejohns thought at first tbat it
might have gone to tho neighbora
But the neighbors had not seen it and
the t'allfornlan declared that he had
never heard of Reggie.
At the time of tho disappearance
Reginald was nearly twice as big as
an ordinary cat with a marked ruff
of white fur around it neck and a
wonderfully bushy tail if anybody
should see suoh a oat he can discover
whether it Is really Reginald by talk
to It in soulful versa If it Is i egl
nald, it will show marked apprecia
tion of the attention.
