Fight Between Lion and Leopard.

The Geological Gardens at Pesth have
Just been the scene of a combat worthy
of Nero or Heliogabalus. The cage
tenanted by lion aud lioness happened
to be next to that in which dwelt fe-
male leopard, for whom the captive
queen of the desert entertained special
hatred. Probably she was jealous of the
bright eyes and beautiful skin of her
neighbor, and may possibly have sus-
pected her lord and master of casting a
tender regard or two across the barrier
which separated the two dens.
The suspicion, brooded over in silence,
became a devouring passion, and it
ripened into certainty at the precise
moment when vengeance happened to be-
come possible. The keeper of the gar
dens had inadvertently one day left
hanging within the lions cage the chain
which served to draw up the partition,
and the lion was not long in Selling it
and beginning to pull. Whether he was
animated with spirit of tickleness or by
curiosity alone must remain forever a
secret. But the result was that the par
tition flew up and the road remained
open from one cage to the other. Through
it instantly rushed the lioness, breathing
hatred and malice, but the lion had no
sooner dropped the chain and prepared
to follow in chase than the portcullis
fell and the passage was barred again.
In the meantime, however, a struggle
commenced between the two lady war
riOrs such as has not been seen in Europe
since the palnly days of the amphitheater.
The leopard, worsted at the first onset,
attempted to take refuge from the foe
by jumping and hanging to the top rails
of the cage. 1t was all in vain, however.
She was brought to bay again, and COM
PEELED to fight face to face with the ter
rible invader. For twenty long minutes
the battle ragged in royal style. The neck
and shoulders of the lioness were deeply
furrowed with red gashes. But her VIC
tim was osermatched, and at length
thrown on her back, when the coup de
grace was given by the savage fangs of
the victor.
The lion, who had been looking on
probably with mingled feelings-at the
scene, will now, no doubt, be restored to
the affectionate confidence of his spouse
Nothing remained, at the end of the en-
counter, of the pretty spotted skin which
had so captivated him but few torn and
mangled shrids, and the romance of the
cages, If ,Pmance there was, came to a
tragic end.

A Trif1e Too Polite.

In these hard times, when a boy gets
into good situation, it makes one feel
sad to see him fail and lose all his bright
prospects. After weeks of weary waiting
Detioit boy secured situation in an in
suranee Office the other day, and his en-
ployei said to him:
"Now, James, you must treat all call
ers alike. Be pleasant to every one. Say
that it is nice day, and so forth, and be
respectful to man, woman or child"
The boy had sole charge at certain
hours, and his first caller was an old man
whose barn had burned down.
"Come right intake chair-nics
day-hope your family are WELL" smiled
James.
"What are you giving me, you young
upstart" muttered the old gent.
"Be seated-growing weather-wheat
coming on tinely-come right up to the
stove" continued the boy.
"Don't give me any of your chin, sir T!
I know what l want, and l know what
would do you good!'
James is boy who means to do right
and obey instructions. He felt cast down,
but he smiled at every new caller, and
tried to give them fireside feeling. Yes
terday morning as he was setting the room
to rights man walked in with about a
bushel of snow on his boots and hatful
down the back of his neck.
"Nice day." said the good boy-"crops
promise well-take a chair-make your
self at home-folks not down yet"
"Boy, don't you give me any of your
sass" warned the man.
mo, sir-nice day-sit right down."
"Are you hired here to grin like mon
key, and to chatter like a parrot9" de-
handed the man.
mo, sir-fine day, sir-spring weather
seems to be opening right up lively"
"I've good mind to make your heels
break your neck, you saucy fledgling,
but I'll call by-and-by and see that you are
discharged. 1t has come to pretty pass
when boy of your size talks the way
you dor'
When the insurance folks came down
the key was in the door, but the boy was
gone. On the table was a tear-stained
note reading:
"I've got the hedake the awflest kind,
and I'm sick to my stomuk, and ma says
the business is killing me, and guess
I'll resine. No more-James. "-DetrOit

What were the gifts of thousand lovers

Whose liquid cadence around me hovers,
Sleeping my soul in bliss divine?
Oh to live and to love forever!
Out of my petals fades the red;
The night and thy song, o love, are over;
lam dying, and thou art fled.
Fled! Live on, then,-and leve another;
That cannot rob me of my bliss.
Though thou shouldst WOO a hundred, no
other,
Never one, wilt thou love like this!
Thou, too, must pass deaths shadowy portal
Naught will remain but this song of thine.
Life is fleeting, but song is immortal;
Half of thy fame is also mine.

More from century none could win.

straight into the clerks eyes. "You are
right in saying the males have changed.
Why, when was girl we didn't hear
of half the wickedness that we do now,
and its all owing to the males. Then
when a woman married we expected to
see her settle down and raise a family
around, and her husband to go into some
kind of business and make nice sup
port for all of them. But nowadays
half of the married women have to sup
port their worthless husbands and drag
oh, miserable existence, when they
really ought to be proud and happy
wives. How often do we see patient,
dutiful women, with every wifely instinct
and motherly virtue beautifully devel-
oped, being larruped by the cruel mon
ster who, once upon time, had sworn to
love and cherish them above all others.
Yes, young man, you are right, the males

you don't change, too"
