its fury the wolf then attacked the

The woman seeing the boys immi-

unarmed, siezed tight hold of it, and

returning to the village covered
with blood, and with her arms, face
and hauds terribly wounded. She
said that at times she was on the

Fish as Brain Food.

During The acts of sensation and
intellection phosphorus is consumed
in the brain and nervous system.
hence there arises necessity to re-
store the portions so consumed, or,
as the popular expression is, to use
brain food. Now, as every one
knows, it is the property of phos-
phorus to shine in the dark, and as
fish in certain stage Of putrefac-
tive decay often emit light or be-
come phosphorescent, it has been
thoughs that this is due to the
abundance Of phosphorus their flesh
contains, and hence they are emf
nently suitable for the nouri h m emf
of the nervous system and are an
Invaluable brain food. Under that
idea many persons resort TO diet
of fish, and persuade themselves
that they derive advantage from it
10 an increased vividness Of honght
"a signal improvement in the rea-
soLing powers But the flesh of
fish contains no excess OF phoephor.
rs, nor does its shining depend on
that element. Decaying willow
wood shines even more brilliantly
than decayiog fsh. 1t may some
times be discerned afar off at night,
The shining in the two cases is due
to the same cause.-the OK idation of
carbon, not of phosphorus. in organ.
ic substances containing perhaps
not a perceDtible trace Of the latter
element. Yet surely no one has
found himself rising to poetic fer
vor by tasting decaving willow
wood, though it ought on these
principles to be better brain food
than q much larger quantity of fish.

Captain Awkward tell u droll story
of reoontra between bushm an
and lion. The narrator was ac-
quainted with the man, and has no
doubt Of the truth of the story. The
bushman, while long way from
his home, Was met by a lion. The
gnimal, assured that he had his vic.
tim completely in his power, began
to sport and daily with him with q
feline jocosity which the poor
little bushman failed to appre-
cite. The lion would appear
at q point in the road and leap into
the jungle, to reappear a little fur.
ther on. But the bushman did not
lose his presence of mind, and pres
entity bit upon device by which
he might outwit his foe. This plan
was suggested by the lion's own
conduct. Aware that the brute was
ahead of him he lodged to the right
and feeling pretty sure of the lions
whereabouts resorted to the course
of quietly watching his movements.
When the lion discovered that the
man had suddsrly disappeared from
the path he was good deal per-
plexed. He roared with mortifica-
ton, when he espied the bushman
peeping at him over the grass. The
bushman at onco changed his posi-
ton, while the lion stood irresolute
in the path, following with his eye
the shifting black man. In another
moment the little man rustIed the
weeds, vanished, and showed again
at another point. The great brute
was fret confused and then alarmed.
1t evidently began TO dawn upon
aim that he ha5 mistaken the posi-
lion of matters and that be was the
hunted party. The bushman clear
aly recognized what was passing in
his enemy's mind, and did not pause
TO let him recover bis startled wits.
He began to steal gradually toward
the foe who now in q complete
state of doubt and fear, fairly turn
ed tail and decamped, leaving the
plucky and ingenious little bush man
master of the situation.
