Some time ago in Tunis Sicilian athlete
of Rim sldo's circus excited general admira-
ton by his manly beauty and feats of
strength. He was in the habit of oyercom

however, was trained 10 succumb. The
Bey of Tunis hearing OF this, sent him an
offer Of thousand ducats if he would kill a
lion which he possessed. The proposal was
accepted, and on the day appointed, the Bey
and large company gathered round the pit
where the lion was kept. The beast had
been three days without food, and was furi-

Artificial Butter.

IT we have to eat artificial butter it is graf
flying to know that it can now be made
equal in flavor, texture and odor to the best
butter made from cream. There are several
manufactures in New York and Brooklyn
which turn out many tons of this product
weekly, and well-known chemist recently
declared that, while he had no doub: that
| more than half the butter consumed in New
York was artifcially made, he conscientious
ly believed that it was quite as good as but
ter made in the dairy, and often much bet
ter. The imitation is made of suet, which,
| after being thoroughly washed, is reduced
to oil at low temperature TO each loo
pounds of oil some twenty pounds OF sour
milk are added and the two substances arc
lchurned, half an ounce of bicarbonate OF
soda and two or three tablespoonfuis of so
