Beavers at Work.
“That is a curious country, truly,
says a visitor to Alaska. In one day’s
trip I was treated to a rare sight. From
behind a rock, I saw a family of
beavers at work felling timber and
building dams. I say a family but there
must have been 200 of them, every one
working away like mad. I had been
making a trip to see some of the country
back from th© sea, and was surprised
to see how heavily wooded, compara
tively, it was. I was guided by a
Kenai tzo Indian, and long before we
reached the lake where I saw the beavers
I was puzzled at the crashing of timbers
to the ground as if some great whirlwind
were at play among the trees. I could
hardly believe the Indian when he said
the trees were being felled by «
beavers. When we came in sight of
the lake and the hills about it I no
longer doubted. Scores of the busy
animals wore gnawing down the trees; j
others wore trimming the branches off •
is ueatly as it could have been done
with an axe, others were chopping the
timber into the proper lengths for nee;
others rolled the pieces into the water
and floated them to the dam-workers,
who were rapidly laying up a wooden
structure of which an expert human
workman might well have been proud,
i watched toe beavers at work for an
sour, and then left the spot reluctantly.
Ibat night, by the way, I had bearer
meat for supper, went to bed on beaver
tkina, and covered myself with beaver
furs, and had beaver meat again for
breakfast, 1 had never eaten beaver
meat bt fore and I found it good. My
guide told me that toe lake where we
had seen toe beavers was one of a chain
of seven, and it was the great Indian
trapping place. They trapped in
<me lake one year, in smother the
next and so on, tons giving the beavers
an opjwrtunity to increase in toe waters
which were not disturbed.

FAWNING TO NONE-CHARITY TO ALL.

Plain Dresses.
One evidence of the return to simple
styles, says , Harper's Bazar is that
salesmen suggest sixteen yards of plain
silk tor a dress, instead of twenty, as
they did last spring. This smaller
quantity can be used because there are
fewer flounces and pleatings, and these
are more scant than formerly, as many
flounces are gathered and bias, and pleat
ings are deeply lapped. The dress,
however, which had no flounces or
pleats except the depassant (or box
pleats frill at the foot of the false skirt)
is the most economical dress, and also
the lightest weight for summer wear.
Imagine this dress made of beige,
bison cloth, mohair, striped wool, or
any other fabric sold at the popular
prices of sixty er seventy-five-cents al
yard 1 The false skirt can be of alpaca
of the same color, with a depassant
three inches wide at the foot. Ths wool
’ goods crinoline lined and set on this
lining quite plain, may extend higher
on the aides or in front, or wherever
toe drapery is caught up highest The
apron has curved wrinkles from the
right aide down, and falls in folds on
the left The back has the pleated
pointed over-skirt already noted. The
basque, of the simplest shape, must be
given an air of style by a high officer s
ooliar covered with velvet or with rows
of braid, and toe cuffs should match;
then a vest of the state trimming only
two inches wide should be set down the
front between two rows of buttons and
button-holes. If a polonaise suit is pre
ferred, toe skirt may be quite plain,
and the polonaise have short curved
paniers in front, with long full breadths
that cover the entire back.
A Gboboia paper tells of a young man
who daring the late war, donned his
wife’s drees, kept his faoedeanly shaved
and wore a big sunbemnet in order to
keep from being conscripted and sent to
the front. The officers in search of
available recruits frequently rode np to
his house and inquired of his wife where
her husband was, and at that vary mo
ment he could be seen working in the
field in female apparel. By the time he
had worn out seven cf his wife’s dresses
he became tired of ma#querading and
and made a good soldier. He
now has ft large family, and is a highly
respected citizen. |

Hotel Contrasts.
When you go into an American hotel,
you know, a boy takes your baggage at
the door, the clerk embraces you at the
counter, brushes whisk, and attendants
dance around you till it seems as if the
whole establishment had been eagerly
expecting you for a week.
Now when you go into an English
hotel it is different.
You tug and twist and shoulder-heave
at th© door awhile, until at last you
worry it open and drag yourself and
your baggage in by painful degrees
against the protest of an inhospitable
spring that has been cunningly con
trived somewhere to keep you out.
Then you set down your things in a
narrow, private sort of an entry with the
feeling of a burglar awaiting an arrest,
and wipe off your forehead and look
over the ground. There are no signs,
do bells, no anything. You stamp and
cough and rattle around for a while,
and by-and-by the commotion wakes
up somebody in the rear of the house,
who opeas the door and peers through.
This te your opportunity. If you are
affable, and persistent, and plausible,
and state your case with, respectful
urgency, this person (usually a female),
after some preliminary examination,
will disappear, and come back in time
with another and higher functionary
(also a female), who examines you in
the higher branches, and may end,
under favorable conditions, with your
admission.— Correspondence Detroit
Free Press.
In a Dream.
An exchange tells of a theological pro
bationer who was being examined at the
sessions of the Central Methodist Con
ference at Huntington, Pa., lately, and
was greatly worried by the questions.
He was rooming temporarily with a
young lawyer and & Methodist preacher.
In hi? sleep the student began to answer
imaginary questions on theological
topics. Thereupon the preacher
suggested the formal questions to the
lawyer, who propounded them to the
sleeper. The latter passed his strange
examination with great credit, but on
the following day made a bad failure
when the same questions were asked by
the authorized examiners.

Undesigned Cheating.
The Boston Globe says: A West End
gentleman recently attended a poker
party, where he indulged in numerous
glasses of wine and parted with most of
his cask Midnight found him on Tre
mont street with just sixty-five cents In
his pocket—a fifty-cent piece, a dime,
and a nickel. Hailing a herdic, ho re
quested the driver to take him to his
home on Boylston street. When the
latter was reached the gentleman, pro
ducing his half dollar, asked the driver
if he had a quarter. The driver, after
careful search, regretted that he had
nothing smaller than a dollar, which he
produced. The gentleman, feeling
poor, was disinclined to pay double
fare, and the herdic driver was equally
averse to accepting fifteen cents for his
fare. They pondered th© matter a
while and at last a happy thought
struck th© gentleman. “I will tell you,”
he said, brightening, “here are sixty
five cents; you give me the dollar—that
will be near enough I” The herdic
driver handed over the dollar, thanked
the gentleman for his kindness, and
drove away; and the gentleman, pleased
with his own ingenuity, entered the
house where it flashed across him what
he had done.
Head-dear for the Soudan.
At the Japanese village, London,

It is formed of light bamboo and paper
and may thus be described: On each
shoulder is fixed a piece of bamboo,
bent in toe form of an arch; in the cen
tre of each arch a piece of bamboo,
somewhat resembling' an umbrella stick
18 inches in bight, is securely fixed,
and these sticks support a light awning
2 feet in length by 18 inches in
breadth; toe frame of the awning is
composed of bamboo and the covering
of paper painted green inside. The
weight will scarcely be felt and the
wearer will thus enjoy all the comforts
of a large umbrella, without experien
cing the inconvenience of holding it np
and his hands will be left entirely free
to carry big rifle or other articles.
