4 Lion and Leonard Fight.

The following story comes from Hun
gary on the Danube. An encounter
between animals so Unmatched in siz,
and strength as the leopard and tn,
lion must rather be a slaughter than ;
fight; and so it proved in this case:
The Geological Gardens at Pestl
have just been the scene of combat
worthy of Nero or Elagabulus. Tn,
cage tenanted by a lion and lioness hap
pened TO be next TO that in which dwell
female leopard, for whom the captive
queen of the forest entertained a specia
hatred. Probably she was Jealous OF
the bright eyes and beautiful skin OF
her neighbor, and may possibly have
suspected her lord and master of east.
ing a tender regard or two across the
barrier which separated the dens.
The suspicion, brooded over in silence
became a devouring passion, and il
ripened into certainty at the precise
moment when vengeance happened tC
become possible. The keeper of the
gardens had Inadvertently, one day,
left hanging within the lions cage the
chain which served TO draw up the par
titiOn, and the lion was not long i'm
seizing it and beginning TO pull.
Whether he was animated with spirit
of fickleness, or by curiosity aione.
must remain forever secret.
Rnr fha .aznlf k,-as thaf Ia. -
flew up, and the road remained open
from one cage to the other. Through
it instantly rushed the liOness, breath
ing hatred and malice; but the lion had
no sooner dropped the chain and pre-
pared TO follow in chase, than the port
cullis fell, and the passage was barred
again. In the meantime, however, a
struggle commenced between the two
lady warriors, such as has not been
seen in Europe since the palmy DAYS of
the amphitheatre.
The leopard, wOrsted at the first on
set, attempted to take refuge from the
foe by jumping and hanging to the top
rails of the cage. IL was all in vain,
however. She was brought to bay
again, and compelled to fight face to
face with the terrible invader. For
twenty long minutes the battle ragged
in royal style. The neck and shoulders
cf the lioness were deeply furrowed
with red gashes. But her victim was
overmatched, and at length thrown
on her back, when the coup de grace was
given by the savage fangs of the victor.
Nothing remained, at the end of the
encounter, of the pretty spotted skin
but few torn and mangled shreds.

A Merry Heart

I'd rather be poor and merry, than
inherit the wealth of the Indies with a
discontented spirit. \ merry heart, a
cheerful spirit, from which laughter
wells up as naturally as bubbles the
/ springs of Saratoga, are worth all the
money bags, stocks, and mortgages of
the city. The man who laughs is
doctor, with diploma endorsed by the
school of Nature: his face does more
good in a sick room than a pound of
powders or a gallon of bitter draughts.
If things go right he laughs, because
he is pleased, if they go wrong, he
laughs because it i cheaper and better
than crying. People are always glad
half way to meet his grasp, while they
turn involuntary from the clammy
touch of the dyspeptic, who speaks on
the groaning key. He laughs you out
of your faults, while you never dream
of being offended with him; it seems as
if sunshine came into the room with
him, and you never knew what a pleas
ant world You are living in until he
points out the sunny streaks on its
pathway. Who can help loving the
whole sOuled, genial laughter? Not
the buffioOn, nor the man who classes
noise with mirth-but the CHEEKY, con-
tented man of sense and mind, 4 good
humored laugh is the key to all breasts.
The truth is that people like to be
laughed at in a genial sort of way. If
you are making yourself ridiculous,
you want to be told of it in a pleasant
manner, not sneered at. And it is as
tOnishing how frankly the laughing
population can talk without treading
on the sensitive toes of their neighbors.
Why will the people put ON long faces,
when ii is so much easier and more
comfortable to laugh? Tears come to
us unsought and unbidden. The wisest
art in life is TO cultivate smiles, and to
find the flowers where others shrink
away for fear of thorns.

such organizations should be few and

championship adopted. Once brought
into public notice and fairly established.

permanent. 1t has in it all the elements

fencing, boxing or lifting; it has every
feature of an exciting competitive game,

OFF, the human form to the very best
advantage,-all its poses being those of
grace, ease and power combined. A
lady who has made herself handy
with the bow never looks so well as
when in the act of shooting. In Eng

by ladies and gentlemen, and esteemed
fit sport for the gentlest and most cul-
tured classes.-ScritRe for JRly.

Guilty experienced in re-dissolving the
aluminic hydrate or phosphate, after

the production of several processes,

replaced il. This consists in adding
the boiling acid solution of the charred
bread to a boiling solution of sodic
hydrate, containing a large excess. I
proceed as follows: 1000 grains of
bread are burnt down to a small bulk,
powdered with about 100 grain meas
ures of hydric chloride, and warmed
for a few minutes; about two ounces
of water are then added, boiled for five
minutes, filtered, etc. A solution con-
tanning about $50 grains of pure sodic
hydrate is made in very little water;
and TO this solution, when boiling, is
very cautiously added the boiling acid
solution of the charred bread. the whole
boiled for a few minutes, filtered and
washed. The filtrate, after the a1di-
ton of few drops of concentrated
solution of disodic phosphate, is slight
ly acidified with hydro chloride, and
subsequently rendered just alkaline
with ammonia hydrate and boiled. The
precipitate is collected, washed, and
weighed as aluminic phosphate.
"To test the accuracy of this method,
| had four loaves of bread made in my
kitchen. one with no alum, the others
with varying quantities. Care was
taken TO leave as little as possible of
the dough adhering TO the sides of the
vessel in which it was made, so that
each loaf contained, practically, all the
alum that was dissolved in the water
with which il was made. The loaves
were weighed when one day old, and

HUMOROUS

THE MIaHrY FALLES.-John Conner
man waited day or two longer TO have
his Decoration Day He was coming
down Monroe avenue, when he sud-
denly decorated the sidewalk. A lone
some-looking banana peel brought him
down. He was only three minutes
passing q given point after he COM
menced 10 fall, and when he hit the
walk he struck for all he was worth.
After untangling his feet from his ears
and his ribs from his elbows, he rose
up In awful wrath. and made for the
keeper of the nearest fruit stand. If
there were no sellers of bananas there
would be no banana peels on the walks,
and men weighing 200 pounds would
not sit down except with graceful hesi-
tatiOn. John Gonnerman called the
fruiterer hyena, buzzard, a Mexi-
can, a Michigan avenue street car, and
various other vile names, and would
have battered his head but for the ar
rival of an officer.
"All this fuss about falling down
once-pooh !" sneered the court.
"But it hurt like dunder," protested
the prisoner.
eff you had been on the other side Of
the street you wouldn't have fallen"

John, as he rubbed his left ear.
sits the plainest case in the world,
my man. Ii banana-peel is on the
east side of the street, and you take the
west side, how are you going TO fall
DOWN."
"Dot's What doan' know any more"
"Well, sir, the banana Is an article
of commerce. Ii contains 81 per cent
of sugar and 80 or so per cent of some
thing else, and must be protected. The
banana has just as much right i'm this
country as you, or Joe Goss, or Sam
Bowles, or myself. The fine is So"
'Dot's awful, Shudge. Blease con-

WEAVING PIGs.-The following plan
New Jersey farmer:
When the pigs are Of a proper age to
be taken from the sow, shut them up in
the morning; let them out little while
at noon and again at evening. The sec-
ond day let them out only at morning
and evening, shutting them up at night.
On the third day, let them out at noon
for the last time. While doing this,
give them all the slOp they want, but
refuse the mother everything, except
scant feed of corn and water. This will
insure the sow's drying up al once, and
without any evil effects.
A member said that the best feed he
had found for pigs, the first few weeks
after weaving, is as much cows milk
or whey as they will drink. Into this
he stirs some Underground provender,
salted little, and composed of six parts
Of oats, two parts of corn and one part
of flax seed or cotton seed meal. When
the milk or whey cannot be spared, use
fresh water, and if the mess is cooked i;
is all the better. For the above may I've
substituted, when more convenient, pea
or barley meal, and rye or buckwheaI
hour. Shorts and bran he thought are
apt TO sour them, If fed uncooked when
the pigs are young. The same result
comes from vegetables, apples and other
fruits, which are given without being
boiled or steamed and mixed with meal.

Deep Sea Life.

The mystery of deep sea life lies in
the fact that here are multitudes of
representatives of the animal world
which, in virtue of their aninIality, are
incapable of nOurishing themselves
upon inorganic matter, vet which are
living miles below the limit at which
vegetable life ceases. Some of the or
ganisms found in deep sea soundings
are undoubtedly of a vegetable nature ;
but these are surface-living diatoms, or
other forms, which sink when they die
This animal life at the sea-bottom is
capable of appropriating as food the
organic matter held dissolved in the
ocean water. as well as the inorganic
substances necessary for the formation
of its skeleton and the gases required
for respiration. For life at the bottom
of the sea is essentially like all other
animal life: it requires food to eat, air
to breathe, and minerals from which to
elaborate its framework. Careful eX-
pertinent has solved the difficulty; the
surface-living nutriment descends after
death; slowly and laborously the life
sustaining oxygen makes its way from
the surface where cold and darkness
reign, and as slowly the poisonous car
bolic acid-the result alike of life and
death-makes its way to the surface.
Thus, just such life as can exist under
the difficult conditions there present.
does exist IN enormous extent.-ScrJBer
