for an effort; as turned saw the lion
cautiously advancing upon his belly
When about five yards off he stopped
and gathered for a spring. saw his
huge claws settle into the ground, and /
saw his great shaggy head start upward,
as he left his couch. With heart as
still as death l bowed my head and shrank
down toward the earth. heard a shock
momentary struggle--a crashing sound,
as Of the breaking of woodland then l
was knocked over by heavy body com
ing in contact with my right shoulder
With powerful effort struggled from
beneath the weight and gained my feet.
The first thing saw was Lari, for it
was he who had fallen against me. The
next was the lion, who lay only a few
feet of, with the head of the spear buried
deep in his throat, the shaft being broken
off about midway. He was roaring W. th
a deep noarse sound, and tearing the dirt
up with his claws.
AZ think that l found his heart before
it broke said Lari, as he gained his feet.
Ifthe shaft had held l would have pinned
him through the heart, and sent him
twenty feet over behind US. But, tell
you, he's heavy one to lift
The monster was dead in few min
utes, and we then held an examination
The lance-head had entered the lower
part Of the throat, directly beneath the
fore shoulder, and gone clean through
the heart.
You must have had a good aim,
said l.
But it was good mark, replied Lari
when I saw him coming, I just turned
the point right for bis heart and he killed
himself
1t was all very simple, and it may
have been very easily done but, assure
you, a man must have pretty steady
nerve to do it efectually.
We could not move the lion then
nor could we stop to take his skin off
for it was very nearly dark. So we re
solved to wait until morning, and ther
have help.
"When we reached the lower corner
of the waste we saw glimmering of wa
ter through the trees and, upon pushin;
our way down, we were lucky enough t.
find ourselves only few rods from tn,
tent. On the next morning we all wen
out together, and found the lion Just a
we had left him. His body measure,
from the end of his nose to the insertion
of his tail, eight feet and nine inches, an
when standing,he must have been nearl
five feet high. etook off his skin yer
carefully, and when / reached home I ha
It stuffed and set up. Itlooks very innc
cent now, as my children pat it with thei
hands; but / never look at it withou
thinking of the time when it looked terr
BILE enough to me" ."-Olave Branch.

DISEASE OF THE HAIR.

! notice in the April number Of the
Journal an inquiry relative to a disease
which ] conclude to be the hespes ton
surans of the veterinary surgeons. The
latest observers show that il is produced
by fungus vegetating on the bulb Of
the hairs. Il has been proved that it
may be communicated from one animal
TO another, as from the horse to the OK,
and even to man. It in some cases en-
tirely destroys the hair bulbs, and they
never grow again. A Swiss veterinary
surgeon Of Lausanne gives in the Echo
Medicale de Neufchatel the following
treatment
For internal use,
Flour of Sulphur, OF.
Sulphate of Anthony, OF.
Powdered Guaiaac Wood and
Starch, each, OF.
Carbonate of Ammonia, OF.
Arsenius Acid, 1-8 OF.
Mix thoroughly in a mortar and divide
into seven doses; of which. for horse,
give one in peck Of wet bran every
morning. This should be kept in a we'll
corked bottle.
For external use.
Fresh lard, 6 OF:
Chloride Of Soda, OF.
Mix well in a mortar, and then
/ add Oil Juniper oxyadri (or
common tar viii do as well,) OF.
! Blue Mercurial ointment, 4 OF.
Sulphur in -four, 4 OF.
Rub the whole together well and apply
to the diseased spots twice a day. Car,
should be taken to keep the diseased ami.
