FEROCTTY OF THE LEOPARD.


 Am instance of the ferocity of the leo- pard occurred in the case of the mission. ary Schmidt. This worthy man had gone out with party of Hottentots to another Moravian station to hunt some hyenas which had been very destructive to their focks, and, in company with one of the men. entered thicket in pursuit of a beast they had wounded. Instead of the hyena, however. the dogs started a leop- ard. which instantly sprang on the Hot tentot and bore him to the ground. Mir. Schmidt instantly ran forward to the aid of the man, with his gun cooked; but be- fore he could getan opportunity of firing the animal left the Hottsntot and flew with fury at himself. In the scufRe he dropped the gun, but luckily fell above the leopard with his knee on its stomach. The animal seized him by the left arm with it's jaws, and kept striking him with it's paws and tearing his clothes in tatters from his breast. Schmidt, however, ,being . powerful man. succeeded, after receiv- ing another severe bite or two, in seizing the leopard by the throat with his right hand. and held it down,in spite of its des- parate. struggles, for few minutes, and until his strength was on the point of giving way, when Hottentot on the outside of the jungle.who heard his cries. came to the rescue,and shot the ferocious beast through the heart,so that its death was instantaneous. Had any life been left. it's dying struggles might have prov ed fatal to MT. Schmidt. As it was, he was 90 terribly lacerated that for several weeks his life was in in the greatest danger. The Hottentot who was first att tackled was less severely wounded, but his face was 90 much torn by the enemy's talons that his eyes were filled with blood, and he was unable to render any aid to the missionary who had SO gener- ously come to his aid.-Notes of ZraveI ia South Africa. by c.

LAmBERr,s LEAP.


 Near Newcastle, is Sandyford Bridge, ehi-ty-six feet above the river, which, like many Northern streams, is seldon quite full, but flows in a channel, with the rocky bed bare on each side; an ugly bridge to look up to; or to look over, driving by.
 In Scotland and the North of England, when our wise ancestors got hold of so dizzy and dangerous place, they made the most of it; with incredible perversi- ty they led the approach to such bridge either down steep, or nearly at right angles. They carried Sandyford lane up to the bridge on the rectangular plan,, and thereby secured two events, which were but the natural result of their skill in road-making. yet, taken in conjunc- ton. have other claims to notice.
 At date hope some day to ascertain precisely, but at present can only say that it was very early in the present century, young gentleman called Lambert, was run away with by his horse; the animal came tearing down sandyford lane, and, thanks to ancestral wisdom aforesaid, charged the bridge with such momentum and impetus that he knocked slice of the battlement, and half a ton of masonry. into the air, and went down after it into the river, with his rider.
 The horse was killed; MT. Lambert, though shaken, was not seriously in- jured by this awful leap. The masonry was repaired; and, to mark the event, these words, ."Lambert's Leap." were engraved on the new coping-stone. The road was allowed to retain it's hap py angle.
 December 5. 1922, about eleven, fore noon, Mr. John Nicholson, of Newcastle, a student in surgery, was riding in Sandyford lane. His horse ran away with him, and being unable to take the sharp turn for such cases made and provided, ran against the -battlement of the bridge; It resisted this time, and brought the horse to its knees; but the animal, being now thoroughly terrified, rose and actually ieaped, or scrambled. over the battlement, and fell into the rocky bed below, carrying away single coping-stone, yiz., the stone engraved "Lambertss Leap.p That stone was broken to pieces by the fall; the poor young man was 30 cruelty injured that he never spoke again; he died at seven o'clock that evening-but the horse was so little the worse, and so tanned by the fall, that he was at once ridden into Newcastle for assistance. s
 The reversed fates of the two animals, and the two incidents happening within an inch of each otNer, have earned them place in this collection.
 Richardson's "Local Historians Table Book" relates the second leap, and re- fers to the first, ,avhich is also authenti- cated.-ChGTles ReGds.

ArurMn I.rAyns.-A exouisite transpar-

AUTUMN LEAvRs.-A exquisite transpar- ency may be made by arranging pressed ferns. grasses, and autumn leaves on a lpane of window glass, laying another pane 0f She aanaes size over it, and binding the edge with ribbon. leaving the group inn prisoned between. Use gum tragacanth in putting on the binding. It is well to secure marrow strip of paper under the ribbon. The binding should be gnmmed all around the edge of the first pane and dried before the leaves, ferns, etc are arranged; then it can be neatly folded 0vee the second pane without difficulty. i9 To form the loop for hanging the trans- parency, paste q binding of galoon along the edge. leaving a two inch loop free in the centre, afterwards to be pulled through little split in the fine binding. These transpareneies may either be hung before 6 window, or if preferred, secured against pane in the sash. .
 Tn halls a beautiful effect is produced by placing them against the side lights of she hall door. Where the side-lights are each of only single pane. it is well worth while to place a single transparency against each, filling up the entire space, thus affording ample scope for free ar rangelnent of ferns, grasses, and leaves, WAAAo1 tHo Snect- oI Cho -hSHe P"0SanS through the rich autumnal colors is very i1ne. Leaves so arranged will preserve their beauty the entire winter.
 An exceedingly pretty staud for lamp can be formed by eight oblong transpar- encies tmade of glass and autumn leaves as described) tackled together with strong sewing silk, so as tu form an eight si,led hollow column. To hide the lamp or can- diestick, the screen should be lined throughout with oiled tissue paper, either white or delicate rose color.
 A better plan still is to get the effect of ground glass by rubbing each strip of glass on a fiat paving stone, plentifuliy covered with white sand. This grinding, of course, must be performed before the leaves are inserted, aud then only on the inner side of the glass. / e tt}1 s-
