In the JaWS bf a Lion.
1 was out after porcupines, and Was
lying down one night near a porcu
pine’s hole waiting for him to come out.
1 had no gun, but only my hunting-
knife and my knobkerrie, with which
to knock the porcupines on the nose;
for that, you know, kills him at once.
I did not hear a sound until I found the
grass near me move and a lion put his
paw on me and lifted me up. The'
brute pressed his claws into me, but
luckily my leather bolt prevented his
teeth from damaging me, and he car
ried me by holding on my belt and coat.
If either of these should have given way
I should have been laid hold of in a far
rougher manner. A lion is like a cat
in one thing, he can hold a living crea
ture in his mouth and not damage it,
just as I have seen a cat carry a mouse.
I knew the nature of the lion well
enough to know that if I struggled I
should have my neck broken or my
head smashed in an instant, so I did
not struggle, but quietly drew my knife
and thought what best to do I thought
at first of trying to strike him in the
heart, but I could not reach that part
of him, and his skin looked so loose
that I feared that I could not strike him
deep enough, carried as I was. I knew
it would be life or death with me in an
instant,so,turmng myself a bit, I gash
ed the lions nose, and cut it through.
The lion dropped me as I should drop a
poisonous snake, and jumped away
roaring with pain. He stood for an in
stant looking at me, but I did not move
and he did not seem to like to carry me
again. More than once he came up to
within a few yards, licking the blood as
it poured from his nose; but there 1
remained like a stone, and he was fair
ly afraid to tackle me again. I know a
buffalo and an ox are very sensitive
about the nose, and a cat if just tipped
on the nose can’t stand it, so I thought
a lion might be the same, and so it
proved.

“How do the ladies treat your elec
trical powers? Are they frightened
more than the men?”
Of course. Did you ever know a
lady who wouldn’t scream louder than
a man could when she saw a child fall
down 6tairs? Those who don’t know
me at all sometimes get frightened; but
the ones who do, usually say, “Oh,
how you shock me, Mr. Bell,’ and
laugh. I shock the ladies often, but I
can’t help it you know.”
A Boy's Fireworks.
It is interesting to watch how the
mental traits of the race appear even in
the young babies on the Amazon. If a
plaything is given them they examine
it gravely for a little while and then
let it drop. Observe how different this
is Irom a white baby’s actions. A
bright little six months-old at home
has four distinct methods of investiga
tion: first, by looking; second, by
touching; then by putting the object
in its mouth ; and finally by bangin
it against the floor. The brown infant
just looks; he does not investigate at
all. As the children grow older the
same trait is apparent in almost every
case. An Indian is content to see and
hear a thing, without troubling himself
about the whys and wherefores; even
such incomprehensive pursuits as fos
sil-collecting or butterfly catching, or
sketching, provoke hardly any curiosi
ty. The people look on quietly, some
times asking a question or two, but
soon dismissing the subject from their
minds as something they are incapable
of understanding. With all the crowd
ing to see the lady of our party, hardly
a person asked why she came. So,too,
the babies are unambitious; they do
not cry after pretty colors or stretch
out their hand to a candle. And the
men have no apparent desire to better
their lot. They go on just as their
fathers did; submit to the imposition
of the whites, a little sullenly, but with
out a thought of rebellion, unless there
is a white or a half-breed to lead them.
The children do not care much for
playthings; we rarely see one with a
rag doll; the little boys delight in
bows and arrows, but they take them
as part of their training. Sometimes
the people have dances, in imitatation
of the “festa” sports; and we hear
them humming the waltzes and quad
rilles which their quick ears have
caught from the musicians. As an In
dian will paddle steadily all day, while
his wife at home hardly ceases her mo
notonous cotton-beating, so the little
ones have an inexhaustible gift of pa
tience. Where a white child wouid
fret and cry, the brown one sit3 all day
perfectly still, but watching every
thing around him. To see a little In
dian boy in a canoe, you would say
that nothing of him was alive Out his
eyes.
A Shocking Fellow.
Josephus Thistlehummer is a good
little boy, and he told all the boys that
he was “goin’ to have a bully old
Fourth, you bet yer boots!” He kept
his money in a savings bank. The bank
was tin, and he put the money in at the
roof. The savings banks always pay
out 100 cents on the dollar. Some oth
er savings banks do not pan out so well.
Josephus held a meeting of directors,
and it was unanimously-resolved to re
move the deposits from the vaults of the
bank until after the Fourth. Perhaps
labor riots were feared. He removed
the nickel and copper accumulations
through the roof by means of a case-
knife and a two-tined fork. They
amounted to $3.91, which he put into
first-class securities—rockets, Roman
candles,serpents,torpedoes, pin-wheels,
crackers, etc. He took advantage of
his younger brother Sebe’s (Eusebius)
absence to climb to the top of the book
case and put Ills pyrotechnic acquisi
tions there. In two minutes he thought
of a better place. Hide ’em under the
bookcase. His mother will find some
toe scratches on the mahogany to-mor
row, and somebody’ll get hurt. Tnen
he thought of a tiptop place, aud took
them to theldtchen. He’d be up be
fore daylight in the morning, of course.
But the cook got up first. She was
up at five o’clock and much surprised
was she to find the fire all ready for
lighting—stove filled with nice round
pine sticks and colored paper. Old
Thistlehummer was growing kind, she
thought. She touched the kindling bff
with a match and began pounding the
beefsteak. The cat came in from her
family of six at the stable and rubbed
her side and hack on Mallnda’s ankles,
her tail waving her spine gracefully
and billowy. She purred loud and ex
pectant. The fire was cracking glee
fully. Great guns! sizz-whiz bang-
boom! The top of the stove went out
first. The cat bowled through the win
dow, leaving a strong smell of burnt
fur trailing after her. The hired girl
ran on into the yard and went over the
fence like a hurdle jumper. Then she
fell in a fit. Old Thistlehummer
awoke and remarked to his wife that
he supposed the blanked idiocy had be
gun. Then he heard more, and the
house rocked like a canal boat in a
storm. Thistlehummer is a brave man
but when he came down stairs and
;azed in the kitchen he was somewiiat
shaken. Rackets, Roman candles,pin
wheels, serpents and fire-crackers were
holding high carnival in the sacred
place, chasing each other as if posses
sed. A sky rocket which had been ira-
potently sputtering aw f ay in a comer
roused itself for a final effort, and car
ried aw'ay two oi the old gentleman's
front teeili (they were false, though)
then gave him a parting kick in the
back, leaving a permanent lumbago
They managed to save the rest of the
house without calling on the fire de

Fkicassek of Cold Beef. — Take
some cold roast beef that has been un
derdone, and having cut off the tat and
skin, put it, with the bones broken up,
into a stew pan with two large onions
sliced, two good sized potatoes sliced,
aud a bunch of summer savory and a
leaf of sweet basil, or any other sweet
herbs you may have handy. Add to
this the gravy and about a pint of warm
water; cover it closely and let it sim
mer for about an hour; then skim and
strain it, removing every particle of
fat; in another saucepan melt a piece
of butter about the size of a walnut,
and thicken with a spoonful of flour;
stir it a few minutes, and then add the
strained gravy to it; let it come to a
boil, and then put to it a tablespoonful
of catsup and the beef, cut in thin
slices; let it simmer from five to ten
minutes, but on no account let it boil,
as this would render the meat tasteless
and insipid.

let the head drop forward on the
breast as low as it will fall without
forcing it. Sit quietly in this way for
a few minutes, and a drowsy feeling

of them said:

could double up a big Doy like me?”
“I saw you eating cherries,” put in
a second woman.

“And he bought two cucumbers off

“Yes, I did,” answered the boy, “but
they didn’t make only a mouthful.
T’other night I ate ten all at once and
they didn’t hurt be a hit.”
“And I saw him eating tomatoes and

called upon him to request an explana

“You can call it a phenomenon or

You’ve seen people take hold of the

are like those hardies. Give me your
hands and I will show you.”
Mr. Bell took the hands of the re
porter in his and pressed them tightly.
A shock of electricity, in no way differ
ing from that given by a battery, was
received.
“You soe,” said the living battery,
“when l draw in my breath the elec
tric current seems to acquire a great
power.” The reporter felt the truth
of the remark as the 9harp prickly sen
sation increased, as if a few hundred
invisible needles were being shot

“There, you have the w hole thing,

“I understood-you could pick up nee

facts.
•*Oh, no, I never could do that.
These stories are always exaggerated

cigarette and blew the white smoke out
through the open window’.
“I presume it furnishes yourself and

“Well, yes, I can have some fun now

A Butterfly Collector.
Mr. Metzger, a resident of Albany,
N. Y., has one of the largest and finest
collections of butterflies in the world.
It took Mr. Metzger tw’enty-five years
to gather them. From Russia, France,
Great Britain and Spain; from Florida
and Texas; from Maine and Canada;
from the w’oods of the North and the
groves of the South, these marvels of
nature have been brought and now’
preserved in a manner maintaining
their living features, they present a
picture of beauty simply indescribable.
There are over ten thousand of these
richly colored flies, and they are a
study Indeed. The writer suggested
they represented a fortune, “Yes,”
said Mr. Metzger, with a shrug of his
shoulders, “but I never sell a fly. That

Raising Tomatoes. — Tomatoes are
much more abundant and of better fla-
phere. There is a fly named after me,
and over in that corner is one that is
simply priceless. There are hut two
known to exist. You see that deli
cately constructed insect. That is of a
remarkable family. It hatches as a
butterfly in September; lives through
the frost of winter; cold, however in
tense, cannot kill that gossamer bit of
God’s handiwork, but when the spring
comes and the soft nights of May makes
all nature lovely, this little thing gives
up its eggs and dies. Its mission is
over. There is the common moth.
How graceful and dainty it is! There
is the outcome of the tomato w r orm,
w hich ha3 desolated acres of tomatoes
in certain years. There is an insect of
which the male only is winged, and
yonder a fly of metalic hue, which is
considered by us very valuable.”
“nave you caught many of these
butterflies yourself?”
“The greater part of them. When a
boy in the old country, it was my hobby,
and for eighteen years in America I
have been busy. Even in this neigh
borhood I am out nearly every summer
night, hunting for my treasures. I
will spend all day in the woods, or all
night, for that matter, in search of
what I want. In this way I got many
flies that I had not, and many that are
w’anted abroad. I am an enthusiast, of
course, and take great care of what I
have.”
“To you, then, it is a delightful oc
cupation to search for and find a new
butterfly.” *
It is a delightful occupation. Every
thing in nature is beautiful, not mere
ly butterflies. Take the birdsjor fishes,
or different insect life. It is a study of
man for wnich a lifetime is too short.
Nature is as rich and bountiful in
beauty as in utility, and it is pleasant
to find this out by personal experience.”

The Loon.
The loon is, in the strictest sense, an
aquatic fowl. It can hardly w’alk upon
land, and one species at least cannot
take flight from the shore. But in the
water its feet are more than feet and
its w ings are more than wings. It
plunges in the denser air and flies with
incredible speed. Its head and neck
form a sharp point to its tapering neck.

“Practical Science.*
Under the above heading, the St.
Croix Courier, of St. Stephen, N. B., in
referring to the analysis of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery and Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy, recently made by
Prof. Chandler, of New. York, aud
others, says: “Nothing was discovered
which we think objectionable, and the
published analysis should increase,
rather than retard, their sale. To us.
it seems a little unjust to call a man a
quack, simply because he seeks to reap
as much pecuniary reward as other
classes of inventors.” The English
Press is conservative, yet after a care
ful examination of all the evidence, it
not only endorses but recommends the
Family Medicines manufactured by
Dr. Pierce. No remedies ever offered
the afflicted give such perfect satisfac
tion as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery and Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy.
In Austin, Texas, almost everything
is plastered over with big patent medi
cine advertisements. In the court-yard
of a hotel there is a Dig cistern, and on
it is an advertisement in letters a foot
and a half long: “Smith’s Diseased
Liver Remedy.” A stranger from the
North saw the hotel clerk draw a
bucket of water from the cistern on
which the above sign was plastered,
and then he said, as though to himself,
I’ve heard it was sickly in Austin, but
I never expected to see people draw off
tneir medicine by the bucketful.”
It doesn’t do any good to veto a
butcher’s bill. Bloggsby tried it, and
the butcher, in tleffance of all law’ aud
constitutional precedent, absolutely re
fused to vote any more supplies until
the billpassed. Bloggsby says the coun
try is on the verge of a new revolution,
and in fact the new revolution has
come, for he now’ walks clear around
the block to avoid the butcher’s shop.
Medical men often puzzle them
selves over the large sale that Dr.
Bull’s Baby Syrup enjoys. Its great
popularity is due only to the excellent
qu&litiea possessed by this Household
medicine. 25 cents.
“Every man should provide liberally
for his family,” says Mr. Smith, “Ever

her that when she gets so lazy that
she cannot run the machine, she can
sit right still and sec herself starve to
death.”

“ ANAKE81S”
Is an Infallible Cure for Piles.
Mr. Wm. J. Andrews, of Columbia, Term.,
writes the following:
Messrs. Neustaedteb <k Co., New York :
Gents—For npward of 20 years I have been
afflicted with the Piles. When I first took
them they were blind and very painful. For
about ten years they continued as blind, then
commenced bleeding. The hemorrhoids con
tinued to increase until I was losing at every
stool fully a gill of blood, and frequently,
while standing at my desk, the blood would run
down into my boots. I have had these hem
orrhoids to last for several hours. In tbe
meantime, like a drowning man, I was grasp
ing at everything, trying to find relief. On
one occasion I had them cauterized, which,
after intense suffering for over a month,
effected temporary relief, for a short time only
however. About ten months since, while at
stool, my eye fell on an advertisement headed 4
in large letters, “Piles,” “Send 2 cent stamp
and get circular.” I did so and received a few
“Plain Blunt Facts” in reply, after reading
which, I concluded it was such plain common
sense that I would give “Anakesis” a triaL I
did so and the result was, that after a few
days use, the bleeding ceased and I have not
suffered a moment’s pain since, ft is said that
**a fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind.”
80, knowing quite a number of friends who
were suffering like myself. I distributed quite
a number of them, and from every one re
ceived a favorable report. I would not be
without * ‘Anakesis” for a hundred times its
cost. To all who are afflicted with Piles I
would say: “Give Anakesis a trial and you
will no longer be a sufferer.”
