They Missed the Boy Afler All.

JACK was not bad boy, but ne was
terrible mischievous one, and his pa
rents really felt relief at the thought
that he was 10 start for boardiDg-school
the next day. His father thought OF il
when he found that Jack had used his
razor to whittle n kite stick. He thought
so again when he discovered that Jacks
ball had gone through the parlor win
dow. Jacks mother thought so when
she found muddy footprints all over the
parlor carpet and a great scar on the
piano leg. They both thought so when
their chat at the supper table was in
terrupted by whistling and the upsetting
of the milk pitcher, and they told Jack
so. when, after having driven almost
wild his father, who was trying to read
the evening paper, by getting up fight
between the dog and cat, he sat down
on his mothers new bonnet she had
Just been fixing, and utterly ruined it.
Early the next morning Jack was
packed of. OIL what n relief from
noise and trouble IL WAS. His fathers
razors remained undisturbed; no sound
of breaking glass was heard; the par
lor carpet was unstained by mud. But,
somehow, the house didn't seem cheer
full to its occupants. II was n longday.
Tea was served. There was no whist
ling and upsetting of dishes TO inter-
rupt the conversation. but the talk
didn't seem to run so smoothly after all.
And when Il came TO reading the even
ing paper and fixing up another bonnet,
the dog and cat slept serenely on the
hearth-rug, and no disturbance inter-
rupted the proceedings. That's the
difference between having boy in the
house and having him away, and the
gentleman put down his paper and re-
marked as much to bis wife, when he
noticed quivering about her mouth
and two big drops on her cheeks, and
there was Kind of mistiness about his
eyes that bothered him about seeing.
YES" she answered; "it-is nice
and-quiet; uh. uh. ou-u-uw and he
got up and went to the window and
looked out and blew his nose for twelve
minutes steadily.

A Queen as q Circus Rider.

The ex-King and Queen of Naples
live Mt the Hotel Vouiliemont, in Paris,
in the Rue Boissy d'Anglais, a life OF
perfect seclusioR. The king cares only
for two things-tirst. his crown, which
he still fondly hopes TO regain, and sec
ondly. his consort, whom he worships
and whose every whim and caprice he
humors and obeys. He himself cares
little or nothing about horses. but rs
the queen, like her sister, the Empress
of Austria. adores horsefiesh, his majesty
is ever ready to give any price for the
best cattle. The life of these royal ex-
lies is tedious and monotonous enough.
The king spends his days, when he is
not with the queen, reading or debating
TO his secretaries, fondly imagining that
he Is really the head of a party, and
that the few Italian noblemen WHO
gather round him care more for the sue
cess of his cause than for the pecuniary
assistance he may afford them. His
majesty will sometimes dictate or write
far into the night. walking up and down
the room in n feverish state of excite
ment, and at length, when rosy-fngered
dawn begins to spread her palms in the
sky, going to bed TO dream Of n triumph
ant return to the throne of his father
Bomba. The queen has nothing to
occupy herTime but her toilet and her
horses. She will have her hair dressed
four times day TO kill time. and keeps
five maids, although she does not re-
ceive and goes nowhere save 10 her
sisters, the Duchess d'Alencon. Her
great pleasure, however. is riding, and
she Is even finer horsewoman thar the
Empress of Austria. During the bad
weather her majesty went every day TO
the circus or hippodrome. and latterly
has actually been taking lessons how TO
do circus tricks on horseback. a servant
throwing balls to her, which she
catches, goiI < at a gallop and leaning
back so that her head almost touches
the horses tail. The poor king stands
by admiring and ever at hand To see
that his beloved consort, whom he
worships rs a goddess, meets with no
harm.

Tusked bI a wild Boar.

The tule lands of San Joaquin valley,
California, are several feet under water,
and as n consequence the farmers can
not work, but devote their time TO hunt,
ing wild hogs, which have been driven
to the hills by the overflow. w. II.
Tredway. late of Reno, but now a ram
cher down there, was the victim of an
unpleasant adventure recently. He
went out in company with his son Syl.
vester 10 look after some poison he had
fixed for coyotes. When two miles from
home they scared up n wild boar, which
must have weighed $50 pounds. I'm
pruvising a lasso out of his saddle rope,
Mr.. Tredway caught the beast over his
mouth, which iniuriated his lordship,
and he charged.
Before they could get out of the way
it was upon them. Tredway's horse
was the first victim, and was badly
wounded by the tusks of the hog, which
were nearly six inches long. To rescue
his horse Tredway jumped to the
ground, when the hog rushed upon HIM,
and before he could gain his balance
one of the tusks pierced his right leg,
running upward and coming out back
of the knee joint, making n frightiul
wound. Mr.. Tredway mounted his
horse and started for home. He had
not gone far when he became faint from
the loss of blood. and had to dismount
and lie by the roadside while Sylvester
went for a wagon. He was soon con-
veyed to the house, where he is now
laid up for repairs under doctors care

Artificial Respiration.

The Medical Press and CircH,dr. 1880,
informs us that in recent communism
tion to the French academy, Professor
Fort raises again the question of prema-
ture iLterments. One fact lac mentions
is. that he was enabled 10 restore TO life
child three years old by practicing
artificial respiration ON il four hours.
commencing three hours and half af.
ter apparent death. Another case was
communicated TO him by DIR. Fournol,
of Billancourt, who, in July, 1878, re-
animated nearly drowned person after
four hours of artificial respiration. This
person had been in the water ten min
utes, and the doctor arrived one hour
after Rsphyxia. Professor Fort insists
also on the utility of artificial respira-
tion in cases of poisoning, in order TO
eliminate the poisons from the lungs
and glands. The length of time II Is de-
sirable TO practice artificial respiration
in any ase Of apparent death from as
phyxia Professor Fort has not yet de-
termined, but his general conclusion
Is thaiit should he maintained persever-
ing iy fors everal hrurs.

Killing Four panthers I'm Two Hours,

Panthers must be quite abundant in
oregon, judging from the following
story, which we find In the BsltEeT Greek
Enterprise. Of that State. A few days
ago hr. Haugh, who lives near Scott's
mills, started for Beaver lake 70 get
soE'e cedar timber. lie had along a
large-bored rife, II little rat-terrier and
rather large dog ofpart Newfoundland
breed. Alter leaving the main road and
getting on an almost blind road he saw
panther cross the road ahead Of him.
He stopped the team, tied them TO a
small tree and followed the dogs, who
succeeded in freeing the panther in a
very short time. 1t was on a large oak
tree, about thirty feet from the ground,
and growing savagely. Mr. Haugh fell
back short distance, in order to get q
rest shot, fired and his game fell dead TO
the ground, having made a final leap
which brought him about fifteen or
twenty feet from the tree. On going
back to the wagon the children pointed
out another panther, back on the road
over which they had passed. On ap-
preaching ii TO get shot IL darted into
the brush, followed by the two dogs.
who succeeded in freeing u at one with.
out any difficulty. On following the
cogs Mr.. Haugh found 1t on the large
limb Off fir Tree about twenty-five or
thirty feet from the ground. Getting
rest on the side of tree some distance
away, he shot this one. At the crack of
the gun the panther jumped from the
tree and was followed by the dogs. On
following them it was found dead abou,
100 yards from whore 1t was shot. On
approaching the ranch where Mr.. s.
Huelet once embarked in the cattle
business he found that the little dog had
succeeded in freeing a panther abo 1t
two-thirds grown. This one was shot
dead. Before Mr.. Haugh had time TO
load he heard the big dog barking at
something about 300 yards off down the
hillside. On going TO where 1t was he
saw the biggest panther he ever saw
very large female. She was growing
and swapping her teeth at the dogsso
much that she formed the most savage
picture he nd ever seen. II was diff
cult TO get Il good shot, but on firing she
came down and the limb on which she
was with her. AS she ran off the dogs
followed her, and on coming up with
them he saw her on a stump about
twenty-five feet from the ground. Mr..
Haugh shot again, but as no vital part
was struck it only succeeded in making
her growl and lash her tail fiercer than
ever. On looking for a bullet Mr..
Haugh found that he had only half a
bullet left, with which he had to make
successful shot or lose his game. His
patching was all gone AS well, 80 tearing
off part of the lining of his coat, he put
it round the bullet and rammed ii home.
Taking careful aim he fred. This
time he saw the huge beast tumble TO
the ground, TO be seized by the dogs.
She seized the big dog by the scalp with
one paw. and had succeeded in tearing
the scalp nearly off When death put an
end TO her struggles. The last one,
on being measured, was over nine feet
long from tip TO tip. All the panthers
were full grown, except one, which was
only about two-thirds grown. They
were all killed within two hours.
