Millinery Opening.
Many times we have been to milli¬
nery openings, and seen beautiful
creations of headwear, but not such a
diversity of models, and such a dis¬
tinctiveness of style as was shown to
us in the parlors of Mrs. Harper’s
millinery department last week.
Each model reflected the most artis¬
tic achievment of the best designers
in this high art of fashion and de¬
monstrates to us the careful atten¬
tion that Mrs. Harper and her skilled
trimmers have shown getting copies
and effective adaptations of Paris
patterns. Those who missed seeing
this stylish array of headwear lost an
unusual opportunity.

A MAN AGAINST A NATION.
The Most Curious European War That
Was Ever Waged.
The most curious European war ever
waged was that which in the sixteenth
century, the period of the reformation
and the renaissance, was carried on
single handed for between five and six
years between a bankrupt grocer of
Berlin and the elector of Saxony, who
was the most powerful German prince
of the period. The grocer’s name was
Hans Koblhase. and the immediate
cause of the quarrel was the arresting
of two of his horses in the elector’s
territory, he being a subject of the
elector of Brandenburg. Failing to
get redress, he adopted what was then
a perfectly legal expedient and de
dared formal war on the realm of
Saxony. The declaration was accepted
in due form, and the war began.
The extraordinary part of the story
is that the grocer kept the war up for
nearly six years practically single
handed and even went to the extrem¬
ity of declaring war ou bis owu sover¬
eign iu the meantime before he was
caught. He burned farms and even
villages, employed mercenaries after
the fashion of the times and made
himself the terror of the district. He
was finally Influenced to stop hostili¬
ties by Luther, aud after he had taken
the sacrament from his hands he was
betrayed into a further act of hostility
by treachery aud, being captured, suf¬
fered death on the wheel after refus¬
ing an act of grace which granted him
the painless and honorable death of
the sword. The story is perhaps the
strangest of all the romances of that
romantic age.—Westminster Gazette.
News From The Big Store
If you fill your bins and cellars with coal during the hot months
of July and August, why shou'd you not take the same precaution in
reference to other necessities to insure comfort and pleasure during
the long dreary months of winter. Don’t put off buying your winter
outfits for yourself and family until cold weather forces you to do it,
as hurried preparations are generally unsatisfactory.
THE BIG STORE As usual made great preparations with caution
experience and money, for the convenience, comf< rt and pleasure of
the public. And no house in the south is better prepared to serve the
public than the Big dry goods, suit and millinery store of W. Cohen.

CARRIED OFF BY A LION.
Thrilling Experience of a Ranger In
the Transvaal.
Two men at least have given ac¬
counts of their sensations when they
were carried off by lions—the great ex¬
plorer Livingstone and a man named
Wolhuter, a ranger of game preserves
in the Transvaal. Wolhuter’e adven¬
ture is not secondary in interest to
Livingstone’s experience. His story,
which was attested by the certificate
of the magistrate of the district, was
substantially as follows;
lie was riding along a Kafir path
about an hour after sunset. It had
been a long march, and he had pushed
on ahead of his companions. His dog
barked at something, and a moment
later Wolhuter saw a lion crouching
close to him on the right hand side.
The ranger turned his horse sharply,
a circumstance that no doubt caused
the lion to miss the spring.
Wolhuter was unseated. At the same
moment he saw another lion coming
from the opposite direction. The
horse rushed off, with the first lion
in pursuit, and the second lion picked
Wolhuter up almost before he touched
the ground and gripped him by the
right shoulder in such a position that
he W’as face up, with his legs and body
dragging underneath the beast. The
lion trotted down the path, uttering a
loud, growling, purring noise.
Wolhuter's sensations were not those
of Livingstone, who said he was in a
state of apathy, w ith entire absence of
pain during the time the lion had him.
The game ranger suffered terribly,
both mentally and physically, and saw 7
no possible way of escape. The lion
took him nearly 200 yards.
Suddenly Wolhuter bethought him of
his sheath knife, which he carried in
his belt behind his right lilp. On reach¬
ing a large tree with overhanging roots
the lion stopped, whereupon Wolhuter
stabbed him twice in the side with his
left hand. It was ascertained after¬
ward that the first stab touched the
bottom of the heart and that the sec¬
ond one slit it down for some distance.
The lion immediately dropped Wol¬
huter, and again the game ranger
struck him, this time in the throat,
severing an artery.
The lion jumped back and stood fac¬
ing him, growling. Wolhuter scram¬
bled to his feet, shouting at the top of
his lungs. He expected the beast to
come at him again, but it did not. In¬
stead, it turned slowly and, still growl¬
ing, went a few’ paces. Soon its growls
turned to moans. These, in turn,
ceased, and the ranger knew that the
beast was then dead.
Wolhuter got up the tree as fast as
his injured arm would permit, and
hardly was he seated when the first
lion, which had been after the horse,
came back on the trail of blood. By
this time the plucky ranger was s,o
faint that he tied himself to the tree
to prevent himself from falling out.
He w’as found by his companions,
who took him to a place of safety. The
lion he had killed was an old male, and
the weapon used was an ordinary
sheath knife.—New York Tribune.
For Body and Soul.
Here is a curious advertisement, re¬
published in the Gornhill Magazine
from an eighteenth century paper:
“Wanted—For a family who have bad
health, a sober, steady person, in the
capacity of a doctor, surgeon and
apothecary. He must occasionally act
in the capacity of butler and dress hair
and wigs. He will be required to read
prayers occasionally and to preach a
sermon every Sunday. The reason of
this advertisement is that the familj
cannot any longer afford the expeust
of the physical tribe and wish to be at
a certain expense for their bodies and
souls. A trood salarv will ho orivon ”
