“God Shave the Queen.”
A most curious statement is being
made about tho queen of Portugal.
Not ouly has Maria Pio. it is saia, a
clearly defined mustache on her upper
lip, but she is positively proud or it
It is furthermore stated, evidently by
u confirmed courtier, that this hirsute
adornment suits admirably the queen
of Portugal’s style of beauty. Who
shall say, then, that this royal ex
ample will not effect a revolution in
this particular direction} Hithertotho
answers on toilet matters iu the ladies’
journals have been largely devoted to
directions to fair correspondents how
they might get rid of the superfluous
growth of hair on their upper lips and
shins. But in future, possibly, toilet
iditors will be called on to recommend
the host mustache developer for ladies
whoso “style of beauty” the masculine
growth on tho upper lip is supposed to
suit.—London Figai
tigaro.
Fought with a Wildcat.
James Maddrah, of Ajisonia, Conn.,
heard u great racket in his saw mill
early one morning recently. He aroso
and went out, expecting to find a fox
chasing his chickens, wliich are kept
in a house adjoining the mill, but
fouud an immense wildcat. As be en
tered the cat sprang at him. He had
no weapon and did uot dare to turn to
flee. Ho grappled with the animal
and. being a very strong man. he
caught it by tho neck with one hand
aud clutched the fore paws of the
brute with the-other, and after a strug
gle choked it into insensibility. Then
he flung it to tho ground and beat its
brains out with a club. Mr. Maddrah’s
clothes were ripped open from his
shoulders down, liis neck was fright
fully lacerated, and his shoulders aud.
arms were torn by the sharp claws of
the infuriated and hungry animal.—

An Iotm Ftxldlcr’a Terrible Scare.
A peddler who put up for the night
at Maquoketa was so frightened at tho
threats and boisterous talk of some
men who wero stopping at tho same
house that he fled in his stocking feet,
hatless, coatless and clothed ouly iu
shirt and pants. For two nights and
two days lie remained in the’woods,
when he ventured to return. His feet
wero frozen and ho was almost dead
with cold and exhaustion. Tho man
who had frightened him so was Talber
Streets, who was on his way iiome
from Maquoketa under the influence
of liquor. The latter proceeded on his
way after the peddler left, and his
team running away ho was thrown
out and killed. Talber Streets was
about GO years of age.—Des Moines
Register.
Ills Ufa Saved bj a Dream.
Another queer dream that seems to

ing is told by a fireman on the Balti
more and Ohio road. Frank Baker
tried to get out of his run when his
freight was ready to leave Wheeling
by feigning sickness. Not being able
to get off ho bado his wife cooa-by,
telling her he had dreamed of a fatal
accident and that all would be killed.
When tho freight took a siding at
Valley Falls, Baker made an excuse
aud left liis engine. A moment later
an express crashed into tho freight
and tho engineer and brakeman in nis
place were killed.—Kansas City Times.
