SURROUNDED sY AFRICAN LIONS.

An Explorer - Dangerous Predica-
ment-A Curious Fact Noted.
In all my previous African experiences
had never known what il was TO be in
real danger from the attacks of lions.
The king Of beasts had hithert0exhi bited
a provoking shyness and q persistent dis
like TO cultivate my acquaintance
much so that often used TO complain
that gained nothing from my wish TO
know the lion at home, and that | might
learn more about him in Regents park
than IN the savagest wilds OF Africa. But
ever since the troubled night which we
spent at the Mkuynni ask no more for
leonine visits. especially in the darkness
OF the small hours, and will content my
self with an occasional journey to the
Geological gardens, where l can see the
grandest OF cats in safe and comfortable
cage.
Soon after we had retired to rest on this
occasion, when the men had begun to
snore round their fires, wrapped up in
dusky white cloths like SO many num-
mics, and when the leader Of the caravan
WAS curling himself snugly between the
blankets, the most terrific roar you ever
heard startled us all into sudden wakeful-
ness Though the lion that uttered IL was
probably 40 or 80 yards distant, the sound
of his thunderous below seemed 10 come
from our very mist. l sat up in bed and
looked uneaS,ly around me, but nobody
complained of being eaten, so lay down
again aud even began To think this very
interesting and very African, full Of local
color and so on. But now on our right
and left, on either side of the river, u
chorus of loud roaring began. The night
was as yet pitchy dark, for the moon
would not rise till the early morning. We
could see nothing beyond the blaze of our
Gordon Of fires.
However, feeling that IL was despicably
tame TO lie still in bed aud 90 to sleep
while my porters shivercd with fear.
arose took my gun and fired intu the
bushes where the roaring was loudest.
| This, the men informed me, was the un.
wisest thing l could do; of course killed
nothing and the noise of the ilrearm in
stead Of awing the lions into silence only
seemed To exasperate them, certainly
never heard anything like the noise they
made. My men averred that we were
surrounded by ten beasts suppose they
/ distinguished ten various roarings. GER
| tainly, the next morning, when we exam
] lIcu tHe pTtClncts ol our camp, Tue many
| footprints OF different sizes which were
| marked in the soft vegetable soil Of the
river bank indicated unquestiOuably that
II whole troop Of lions had been IN our i'm

| noticed curious fact connected with
| the unseen approach of these beasts.
/ Whenever lion was nearing our camp,
! aud before he a'tested his vicinity by a
roar, we were, when we had learned TO
read the warning, made aware of the fact

small birds in the branches above. alt

a new trick learned from the actresses
is 10 tint the ears for evening occasion.
The feminine mind has taken the notion
that so long rs men speak admiringly OF
pink ears an auricular deep blush may be
put on 10 stay while desired. Therefore,
when adorning themselves for ball, opera
or other places OF personal display, they
rouge their ears inside and out. AS the
adjacent portions OF their necks and heads
are white, either naturally or from pow
dering, the contrast is rather startling.
Well, some of the girls at Jerome park
had painted ears on their frivolous heads
Leonard Jerome, boss committeeman,
gazed for moment at one OF them, and
then caught her in his arms, held her
tight and kissed her. She was distant
relative and he veteran, but she goi
angry just the same and asked him how
he dared.
"An old custom from the buskinp
bees" he said, "when you see a red ea'
you can kiss the girl who shows IT,

The Earth's "Ups and Downs"

A few stray indications here and there
show that the creation of the world is as
yet far from complete. We know that
the Andes have subsided 220 feet in sew
enty years. Only two years ago islands
disappeared and other islands took their
places in the straits of Sunda. Lesst than
seventy years ago district 1000 miles
square, suddenly plunged beneath the In
dian ocean, with all its inhabitants, their
homes, their cities and their forts, and
has never reappeared. The coast Of
Greenland is known to be slowly sink
ing into the sea. So is the coast of Swe-
den and Norway, though the subsistence
is slower. Chinese geographers report
remarkable changes in the configuration
of their coast since their first maps were
drawn. But these changes are SO slow
and so slight that they escape the no
tice of all but scientific observers. The
mass of mankind believe that the earth
is firm. Science, however, preserves
the record Of alternate upheavals and de.
pressions more vast than anything which
appears to be going on now.-San Fran.

AGITATION in the large cities of the

AGITATION in the large cities of the
subject Of manual training in the
schools has brought.forth much good
fruit. The reform has passed beyond
the experimental stage, and is merely
question Of time when the school
will no more think Of dispensing with
workshop for boys than with a
blackboard or the study OF arithmetic.
The girls should be taught that excel
lence IN cooking is as honorable and
praiseworthy as excellence in holding
an afternoon reception or presiding
over sewing circle or sitting on a

A Two-Faced Statue.

A Boston newspaper man says that
Greenough's statue of Franklin in that
city is worth studying, because it illus
trates theory for which the sculptor
had the authority Of the great physiog-
nomist, Lavater. II is that each side of
the human face represents different
phases of human nature, man being a
dual animal. with double set of charac-
teristics. On one side Of the bronze face
of Franklin Greenough has depicted the
expression of the man Of science who
drew the lightning from the clouds; on
the other he has represented the feat
ures of the author of the homely philos-
ophy embodied in Poor Richards Al
manac. Chicago Herald.

NEWS comes from the reservations
upon which a number Of cattle herds
are being wintered by special permit,
that the Indians are much pleased at
having the cattle among them; and
are enjoying winter in their wigwams
without the slightest uneasiuess as to
where their rations of fresh meat are
TO come from. For several years past,
since the disappearance of the buffalo
from their midst, this item of meat has
been of no small trouble. Small game
being scarce they have been subjected
to the Inconvenience of going outside
of the reservations among the cattle
herds to forage meat. The Indians
are prone to life of indolent lsziness,
and the ranging of cattle at their tepee
doors where they can slaughter them
at will is regarded as treat with
which they are highly delighted. The
idea of economizing is foreign to them
it appears, as the more plentiful the
beeves the more extravagant they are.
Only the choicest parts of the
animals are taken. They seem to
think the cattle will remain there and
are making no preparation for supplies
in the future by drying and preserv-
ing AS was their custom some years
ago when the scarcity of buffalo was
apparent. The slaughtering is being
carried on TO such an extent that some
owners already estimate that their
loss will he greater than to have win
tered their cattle upon their home
range. Cattle men have long been
subjected to considerable loss from
the killing by the savages and moving
to the reservations only increases The
destruction. We can see nothing fair
in this. There is no reason why the
Indians should be allowed to appro-
pirate the property of Others. The
stock men propose 20 pay for the priv
ilege of grazing on the Indian lands
and the Indians should be held strictly
accountable for the stock and the price
of every animal slaughtered deducted
from the rental fee, or else the thieves
should he punished by law for cattle
killing

Day in N Rage.

Special TO the Globe
WASHINGTON, April 19.-There was an
exciting meeting of the congressional COM
mittee tonight. The excitement was
especially intense among Northwestern
people. The meeting of the committee
was held at the capitol for the purpose of
transacting some general business. About
$50 card bearing the name of Mr.. Day
with the statement that he desired to make
n statement TO the committee about john
sons selection at the last meeting for a
Dakota member Of the committee was sent
up. He was admitted and permitted to
make his statement. He told the commit
tee that it had made a great mistake
in its selection of member TO
represent Dakota, charging frankly
that johnson was not Democrat and
not acceptable to the people of the terri
tory. He produced documents and letters
which he desired to lay before the commit
tee in support of this position. Johnson
and Boynton, who were present, spoke in
support Of Johnson and the action of the
committee in selecting him. They urged
that JOhnsOn's Democracy was unimpeach-
able and that he was the choice of the en-
tire executive committee of the territory.
The fight was long and hot one and lasted
an hour or more. Finally motion to refer
the whole matter to a special committee for
investigation. consisting of Messrs. Lord,
Murphy and Wilkins. appointed.
