A Leoturor's Eynerionoo.

Archibald Forbes, the war cores
pondent, furnishes the CcHaVy with
some odd experiences of his while lee
turing in Great Britain and this coun-
try. Audiences IN Great Britain, he
says. are very demonstratiye. applaud
ing all through and in places where it
makes one wonder what there is to be
demonstrative about; but American au-
diences are much more Sclf-reStraned
and critical Canadian audiences are
SUPERFICIAL While describing in lee
ture the illness of the Prince of Wales
and the Queen strolling up and down
in front of the house, a tall, gaunt figure
arose and, pointing at him - long fin
ger, said; "Stop." Then facing the
audience, he exclaimed: Ladies and
gentlemen! This loyal audience will
now sing God save the Queen, which
they did and Forbes went on with his
lecture, At its close, and while the
motion of vote of thanks was, as usu-
al, being put to the audience, the same
figure moved an amendment which was
that "the lecturer he requested to re-
peat the portion of the lecture referring
to our gracious sovereign And re-
peat he did. Several years ago Forbes
interviewed u sailor who had Subsislcd
on the bodies of some of his comrades
who had with himself been cast away at
sea by the burning of their ship. AT
Dundee some time after man met him
after his lecture, and. asking the lee
turer il he remembered him, which
Forbes was forced to deny, he said in
hollow, gloomy voice: "Mon, I'm the
cannibal" One of Forbes chairmen,
having got mixed about the lecture list,
introduced him as Charles Bradlaugh,
the celebrated free thinker and orator"
He added that the audience might not
agree with all the lecturer might utter,
but he thought he could promise him
from New England audience n patient
and attentive hearing Forbes advises
lecturers starting out with comic lee
ture, OF whose success they are not sure,
to secure Sleepy-headed chairman.
Once in one of his most pathetic pas
sages, when men should have wept and
women tainted, the audience began to
guffaw He turned to the Chairman for
protection, when, behold, that worthy
was sound asleep and snoring loudly
Forbes woke him up midst the shrieks
of the audience and continued all
through his lecture to cnlivcn and re-
lieve them by pol;ing the sleepy man
up, who fell of again almost immedi-
ately when left alone

Licking an Elder.

One summer in the years agone while
camp meeting was in progress in
Eaton County, says the Detroit Free
Press, there arrived on the grounds a
bully named Miller, who had made n
vow TO lick Elder Johnson and break up
the whole business, The Elder heard
the news with calm compoSure, and as
soon rs at liberty, he huntedupaw world
ly friend of his own and asked;
Friend Smith, didn't you used TO
fight in your younger daysP
"Ah! Elder, have had many turn

"And what is the effect Of sudden
blow between the eyes,"
at astonishes and humbles."
as there any danger Of killing man
by such blow?n
"NcvGr knew case of it,,
The Elder went his way with a serene
smile on his face. Miller had his coat
off and was hunting for him, and they
met face to face as they turned wagon.
Miller started to crack his heels and
crow, but he never finished. The Elder
took him one square between the look
erS without stopping his pace, and it
took twelve rowdes, three clippers Of
water and two quarts of whisky to re-
vive the patient and get him of the
grounds. One day, n year afterwards,
he met the Elder and seriously asked:
"Elder, some of the boys say was
kicked by horse, and others stick to il
that was struck by lightning, but I've
always had suspicion that YOU hit me

Exceptin those aggravated forms of dis.
ease in which the air-cels and bronchial
tubes are already disorganized and destroy
ed cure 10 almost certain to follow a steady
and proper use of remedies by inhalation
Asthma ia almost wholly functional dis
ease.
But while asthma is SO certainly durable,
and so promptly responds 70 proper
treatment, encouraging us almost from the
outset by relief and improvement, there is
not, IN the whole catalogue OIL to which
We are liable, one which requires II more
determined and persevereing employment
of means to attain the desired end. To rad.
icalIy uproot an invoterate asthma, in con
stituton morbidly susceptible to every in
furious influence, necessarily requires time.
We are the more particular in enforcing
this to save those suffering from asthma
from being over sangune ofrapid cure and
to dissuade them from the folly of regard
ing themselves as cured as soon as they are
relieved We would not have them begin
treatment with hopes which in the very ma
ture of the disease can not be realized.
The basis upon which this mode of treat.
ment mainly rests may be explained in
few words. The air we breathe is more
Immediately concerned in the production
of disease than any other influence to which
we are exposed; and as it Is subject TO
change in its temperature, its density, Its
electrical condition, aud its purity, so are
our feelings and our health affected by ev-
cry such change, being impressed locally
upon the internal surface Of the entire re-
spratory passage.
In the past, the physician in attendance
upon consumption and asthma has done
little more than silently contemplate miser
les, which he had no power to relieve. Let
US hope life of greater activity will be
opened to him by the success which has at
tended more rational application of med
icine to the cure of pulmonary diseases.
Once practically acquainted with Inhala
ton, he will discover how very possible it
IS to retard progress IN the healing art by
an inveterate adherence tie the folies of our

Attacked by Feroeious Lion.

An underkeeper III q menagerie was
attacked by lion in Birmingham, Eng
land. He entered the cage in order to
clean il. 70 separate the animals from
that part of the cage that was to be
cleaned a wooden panel was used, 1t
reached from the top to the floor Of the
cage, and was about two inches in thick
ness. The underkeeper, Harris by
name, does not appear to have absolutely
closed the panel as he entered. The
largest Iona powerful animal named
.'Wallace" "-sprang toward Harris, the
sliding panel gave way from the pressure,
and tho man stood unprotected III front
Of the lion, who with its mouth seized
the poor fellow by the shoulder. Harris,
who had broom in his hand, pluclxily
defended himself for few moments by
striking the lion with the handle Of the
broom. But the lion, clutching him with
one Of its paws, dashed him to the
ground and began gnawing at his body,
from which the blood was freely flowing
The lion tanner, Alicamonsa, who was at
the opposite side of the hall, hearing the
commotion, ran to the cage. With the
utmost courage and coolness he entered
the den, and twice fired his pistol, which
was loaded with blank cartridges. All
the time Harris was still beneath the
lion, who was tearing his flesh. The
pistol firing had no effect whatever on
the animal; and seeing this, the lion
tanner, who had with him a loaded whip,
began striking the animal with the butt
end of it on the head He dealt the lion
four or five blows, and the last, hitting
the animal with terrific force between
the eyes, appeared to stun it. The lion
loosed Harris, who was instantly dragged
ont Of the cage. He was bleeding pro
fusely. but was not quite unconscious.
IT is said that Landseer never painted
full-grown cat. He painted Kittens
and cleft the rest to nature"
