THE AMERICAN LION.
fec"iiarittes OF a Savage Bens,

The mountain lion of North Amey.

the wild animals Of the Far West
Although called a lion, yet this ami
NAL bears no resemblance 10 the Afri-
can lion except SO far as its fierceness
is concerned. 1t really belongs to the
same family as the wildcat or cata.

sheep, horses or poultry, and at times
human beings. But, as a general
thing, il not molested, it will not at
tack human beings, though, il wound
ed, there is no animal which will make
more desperate fight, regardless OF
consequences.
II cannot be driven off from an at
tack as long as life lasts il must
be killed to be beaten. Its chief Pc
culiarity is its cry, which the most ex-
perienced hunter has at times mistak-
en- for the wall Of child in distress.
This feature makes the beast more
dangerous, especially il he should es-
tablish his lair in the vicinity OF set
tlement, because, unless a person is
an old timer, he will be deceived by
that cry whenever he hears it. 1t is
the most perfect imitation Of childs

perfect than the cleverest mimic could
utter.-Chambers Journal.

wafered MiIk.

The milkman who waters his goods
generally does so under the impression
that the water poured in Incorporates
itself with the milk and cannot be de-
tec,ed except upon chemical analysis.
This shows gross ignorance. The milk
will hold only its own fluid; all
foreign fluid will be precipitated II the
mixture is allowed 10 stand for n
couple Of days. Any housewife may
spot dishonest milkman with very
little trouble. Let her take long
slender bottle, cleanse it thoroughly
and let il dry out. II, then it is filed
with milk and allowed 10 stand in a
cool-not cold-place for forty-eight
hours, all the foreign fluid will be pre-.
eipiiated-that is, it will settle to the
bottom OF the bottle. The soured
milk will then ill the middle OF the
bottle and the fatty substance will be
floating on top. Sometimes the top
will be a layer OF cream, then will
come a layer Of albumen, another ar
tifcial device TO make the cream look
rich; then will come the soured milk
and at the bottom will be the foreign
water. The whole scheme OF decep-
ton can be read by a glance at the
bottle after one has had single lesson
in the rudiments Of milk inspection.
This sort OF work is not scientifically
satisfactory, but it will always de.
velop the fundamental fact-whethel

What Juries Are For.

Judge Finletter's Instructions TO n
jury to bring in verdict contrary to
the opinion of the jurors attract a.
tention to a very peculiar practice
regarding juries. When the fore.
man protested that he and his collea-
CUES thought differently. the Judge
said the jury had no right to think,
and insisted that the verdict should
be made in accordance with his
instructions. The righteousness OF
the verdict Is not questioned here,
but the methcd of reaching it seems
TO be altogether wrong. Why should
case abandoned by the prosecuting
attorney go to the jury at ALL A
jury has a right to think, any Judge
to the contrary Notwithstanding, and
is appointed for that purpose. When
a suit is abandoned by the prosecutor
the case, instead of going to the ju-y
with instructions to bring in a
specified verdict, should pI pIoperly be
dismissed A jury's functions are
its OWL, and each jury should guide
its verdicts by its own opinions. II
the JUDGE is to deliver the verdict,
ne should deliver it himself in a case
like this without the assistance of
the jury.-North American
