She drew so near to one ofthe cages that its ocenpant, which was a large panther, immediately put its claws through the bars and held her firmly. The girl’s screams aroused the staff of the menagerie, who rushed to her rescue. They labored for several min- utes to make the panther release its prey, but they did not succeed until a red hot iron bar was used.

Apropos of weddings, those of 1898 have caused a great deal of comment in one respect. I'he brides have béen a group of young goddesses as far physique goes. The bridegrooms, the other hand, have short, in a matter of Olympian resemblance. Miss Kath- erine Duer, the favorite of all her who married Mr. Clarence Mackay last spring was a young Juno, who over: topped her ‘hasband by au inch two. Mrs. George Vanderbilt, other June bride, is taller than husband. The young Duchess Marlborough, by-the-way, had better of the duke in inches as well as in millions. And now another Eng- lishman, Mr. Harold Baring, who ve- cently married Miss Marie Churchill, will also look up to his wife in more ways than one. So it has gone until people are beginning to raise their eyebrows and wonder where this in- verse proportion is to end. A physician, who was addressing a woman’s club the other day, had something to say on this subject. He declared unequivoeally that ‘‘girls are taller, stronger, better than they were 25 years ago.” He said, with a quiz- zical smile, that his only fear is that we will produce a race of girls six feet tall ‘‘with brothers only four feet six.” He thinks that parents coddle their children too much and said that there is more sickness caused by overdress- ing than by underdressing.—Harper’s Bazar. as O11 literally fallen inches, of auy sel, or an- her of the Mamie Frey, Watchmaker.

Strange as it may appear in the Man of Blood and Iron, Bismarck econld not be discourteous to people—though others were not always as considerate to him. Professor Lenbach, than whom perhaps nobody except Profes- sor Schweninger knew Bismarck so in- timately, once told me: “In all the years I have known Prince Bismarck I only remember him speaking hastily on one solitary occasion. A man-ser- vant had shut the door with a bang. Bismarck rang the bell, and when he appeared, told the man sharply that he was to leave at the end of his month. About a quarter of an hom afterwards he rang the bell again, and said, Jin a moilified voice, ‘You may stay.” That was all.”’—Sidney Whit- man, in Harper's Magazine, N
