A Narrow Escape.

A couple of nights ago at the FOire
de Neuilly in Paris, Bidel, the famous
lion tanner, had, as usual, pitched his
tent at the corner of the great Paris
fair, where his blood -curdling perform
ances had been drawing crowds night
ly. He had entered the cage to face
the four fierce lions with whom he per-
forms. The people noticed that Bidel
did not seem himself. He had an
anxious look and seemed unwell. No
wonder, for he was suffering from a
sudden attack of rheumatism and
walked with difficulty. All went well
however, up to certain point. He
had put the four animals through their
PAGES. Three had returned to the ad-
joining cage, and Bidel was alone with
one ferOcious old African lion-his
show beast, named Sultan, which be-
gan its career in France by biting a
rustic's arm off some years ago. The
beast has always been hard to man.
age. Bidel was about to make Sultan
stand on his hind legs, when the tanner
stumbled, from rheumatic pain, falling
prone. In an instant the lion pounced
upon him, fastening its teeth in his
neck and arms. All seemed over, and
a simultaneous cry of horror arose fro
the audience. Several women tainted,
and every one but Bidel and an assis-
tant. who was prOvidentially near, lost
their heads. By a tremendous effort
of muscle and will the lion tanner
clutched the lion by the jaw and strove
to hurl the mighty mass away from
him. At the same time the assistant,
up long iron-tipped pole,
made a determined lunge at Sultan,
who, bowling with pain, relaxed his
hold and retired next door to reflect on
the situation. Before the beast could
spring at him again, Bidel, streaming
with blood, dragged himself to the out
er door of the cage. Meanwhile all the
in the menagerie had raised
their peculiar cries, making the place
hideous. A doctor present at once at
tended to the wounds, IL in number,
but none Immediately dangerous. BIZ
del at once offered to re-enter the cage
to complete the performance, but the
public stopped him with shouts of
"Asses! AsSeS! ('EnOugh Enough l'')
and he retired, for a week or ten days
to obtain rest and nursing.

The Biggest @tBlow" Yet.

AS the season of cyclones and fish
stories is upon us the following "stretch
of the Imagination" from the Philadel-
phia Call is in order:
Stories of the recent cyclone in Ohio
are coming in quite freely, but they do
not approach the marvellous stories of
the tornado that swept up the valley
of the roaring COdorus, in York cOun-
ty in the cold spring of 1842. After
the storm we speak of, one farmer
found that his well had been pulled up
by the roots and was hanging on the
limbs of white oak tree four miles
away. A cellar, belonging to one of
his neighbOrs, was split in two, one
half of it being blown through stone
quarry, and the other half turned up
end wise against a haystack in the adj
joining county. A flock of geese were
completely stripped of their feathers
by the wind, and dried apple pie
was blown through the side of a
school house, terrifying the scholars,
besides running a large map of the
grasshopper districts of Kansas. The
wind blew the tails off six Durham
cows, and a Berkshire pig, weighing
two hundred pounds, was blown COM
pletely through his skin, the hide re-
naming in a standing position and
preserving an expression of natural
ness that deceived many visitors. The
boundary lines of several townships
were bent all out of shape, so that
they looked like curled hair mattress
on hot griddle, and the air was
blown so completely out of the valley
that people had to go up on the hills
when they wanted to breath.

excursion trains and some regular Sun
day trains, and orders have been Civ
en- to discontinue jobs of repairing on
Sunday, while freight engineers will be
allowed the use of their locomotives to
take themselves home to spend Sun
day. The directors speak of the salu-
tary effect already seen, and they be-
lieve that there will be less liability to
accidents than under the old plan,
when the men were sometimes at least
overstrained. These changes have
been made quietly, and some of them
rather as experiments, but the result
is so satisfactory that they are likely
to be followed by others in the same
direction. We welcome this news from
one of the great corporations of the
country as the forerunner of a move
ment that is sure to come, sooner or
later, in the interest not only of the
workmen but of the community as a
whole. Let every man, who believes
in Sunday as a day of rest and wor-
ship, use all his influence on the right
side in this matter Congregationalist.

Change of Work.

Change of work is one form of recre-
alton, because, it may be presumed,
the new employment occupies a differ
ent portion of the brain, and the one
that has worked obtains rest. MOnot-
Ony of occupation is always irksOme,
no doubt because certain portions of
the brain are exclusively occupied. A
hard worked man should think no
form of recreation beneath his notice
he is fortunate if he has really salts
factory hobby or two. Talleyrand's
pIOgnOsticatiOn of the kind of old age
that awaited the man who did not
know whist, is full of truth, if it be ap-
piled to amusements and hobbies i'm
general. Perhaps it's author would
scarcely have recommended whist for
an old man had he been able to foresee
the bewildering notifications which
have been made in the way of playing
the game. In this, as in other things,
the tendency is to turn play into work.
Let us hope, however, that some of
our simpler forms of recreation may be
permitted to survive at least for. our
time. Books remain and we may be
thankful for the stock we already pos
sess. Reading offers the most avail
able means of recreation. Dean Hooks

of adoption. He tells us himself that

known some people in great sorrow fly
to a novel or the last light book in
fashion. One might as we'll take a
rose draught for the plague. Light
reading does not do when the heart is
really heavy" By all means let the
recreation be cOnfOrmable to the tastes
of the individual, and adapted to his
condition. When a man over sixty,
who has led sedentary life, suddenly
and vehemently takes to tricycling, he
may feel pretty sure that he has failed
to catch the meaning of the term free
reation," and that very different pro-
cess will certainly develop ITSELF

Our Juries as Seen Through EnglisI
Eyes.

A man need not be ignorant of the
rudiments of United States history, a
client of lawyer engaged in the case,
or the tailor of a friend of the lawyer,
or even deaf, to escape jury service in
America. Long before an important
case reaches the trial stage it has been
well threshed out in the newspapers :;
frequently each side has had its say in
the papers i'm the way of interviews.
All the citizen who desires to escape
service needs to do is to read a daily
paper with a little care, and, when
called on a jury, to declare that he
knows all about the case before the
court, and to use a little tact in ex-
pressing a doubt as to whether any
evidence that may be adduced will
cause him to alter the opinion he has
already formed. The lawyers on eth
er side will see that he has "nOthing to
do with the case."-[St. James Gazette.
