deiectaton. Every imaginable thing Affords
subject for graphic illustration ana establishment,
and the Rines enjoy the tales with zest which
speaks well for the good fellowship which distin-
guishes them. But the stories generally treat OF
wild animals and their savagery. OF thrilling ad-
ventures with beasts OF prey. One night the nre
circle had sat up rather late, the anecdotes had
been frequent and various and more than usually
illustrative Of the dangers to be encountered In an
African forest. The weird sounds which issued
nom the deep. dark forest surrounding the camp
at Barrocoe and stole through the darkness on
their quickened ears, lent some what OF an alarming
reality TO the themes which had engaged their ears
that night, and II the brave Rines had
been subjected to the con essional there Is
no doubt but that many OF them would
have confessed they would much prefer
eucountering the dangers OF the forest during the
daylight than at night time. 1t CHANGED that q
sergeant was compelled to proceed alone to dis
tant quarter OF the camp, after whole repertoire
OF alarm ng stories had been exhausted. The
night was pitch dark the tall cottonw Gods
seemed to rise to nHnity in the darkness, while
the noises that issued from them were extremely
Oppressive to the SOUL The sergeant thought he
might as we'll prepare against contingencies, for
who knows. something might happen to fellow
IN such an unchristian country. He unbuttoned
MS nOlsleI, anu hcpt MS MANU- Oh tue StoCk Oi utS
revolver. He stopped once or twice TO listen, as
he imagined he heard footsteps. Again he con-
tinue1 his fearful way, and again and again he
halted to listen. Through the darkness he could
family distinguish the outlines OF q huge beast,
but. whatever 1t was the beast remained notion
less when he stopped. Did the thing mean to
spriug upon him-lions and tigers and leopards
generally did on benighted man that was
the usual mode OF attack. Arguing thus
the sergeant drew out his revolver and
kept 1t directed at the monstr0us
thing, which stu persisted in following
him. As he drew near his own quarters the ser
geant whose fears had risen to the highest pitch,
shouted out to his comrades in most agonizing &C
cents, II say. Bill. Jack, Tom hurry up, for Gods
sake, and show us light, quick, for mercy's sake
here is wild beast going to attack me-" Respon
sive to the poor sergeant's cries for assistance
came the CHEEKY AYE, aye" OF his messmates who
sprang out Of their tents with lights and Snyders
and swords to the rescue. But imagine the aston.
ishmeny OF all when the lanterns disclosed the
form Ola mule
The sergeant, however. is not the only man who
has been frightened nearly out Of his wits BY such
domestic animal, Tor 1t was but the other day
when native, being requested to LEAD a donkey
to water, started with him gayly enough, until the
animal began to bray, when the native ran away
from him with the speed of lightning, and never
halted until he found himself good half mile away
from the strange brute, which could excel even the
African lion IN noise.

WASHINGTON & FRANKLIN sTS.,
PITTSBURGH, PA.

There is ''shoddy" in glass, as well as in
in woolen fabrics. Consumers of kero-
sene are sometimes almost discouraged, so
frequently do ehimneys break, without
any apparent cause. rendering the cost of
chimneys about equal 10 that of oil. Cheap
mesa being the order of the day. great
many manufactures make chimneys from
silicate of lime, instead Of from lead. The
initiated may tell the different qualities Of
glass by ringing them; tie vibrations of
the lead glass have "A clear, ringing. bell
like sound, possessing the requisite
strength to Withstand expansion and con-
traction, as we'll as the general pressure of
use, ard will outlast half a-dOZen of the
lime glass chimneys. Fifteen cents in
vested IN one of the lead chimneys is
money well spent, even though it injuries
the trade" in tile cheaper kind which il
most assIredly ought to, and doubtless
will. Stick pin there, and remember it.
The genuine lead glass chimneys may
be had at wholesale or retail of
