The Lions of India.

The lions of India appear to be going
the way of the great bustard and the
dodo, and the reason is found in the
extension of railroads, for the monarch
of the forest shares with Mr.. Ruskin
mortal antipathy to the smoke and
screams of locomotives, says the Lon
don News. Within the memory of
many persons lions were common
enough in Rajputana, and even now
the roar of one may be heard occa-
sionally in the widest parts of Central
India; but the new railway from
Nagpur is now being constructed
through this country, and this is pr,c.

Jnnnncse as Metal Workers.

The Japanese are past masters in the
trea ment of alloys, both in texture
and color, and no better guides exist,
saws the jewelers. Review. They
achieve their grand results by the
simplest means-a iudicious blending
of various metals, inlaying and pick
ing. COPPER is the basis of their
chief alloys, and by incorporating
with it certain proportions of gold ard
silver they obtain remarkable results
in color through the prickling process.
But not only do they get striking
effects from their alloys and picking,
their mode of working up the metals
is a thing to be studied. For instance,
they will take six or seven plates of
different metals ami alloys, weld them
together, and then, by drilling, punch
ing up and filling, get a surface in
which all the metals show in a manner
which is truly wonderful.
BY the range of tints at their COM
mand they can work out on a metal
surface scenes of animal life, land
scapes, etc, with effect never dreamt
of by metal workers in the western
world. Among some examples re-

American and English Girls in Germany

The German girls are beginning to
complain with considerable bitterness,
notes Eugene Field in the Chicago
News, that American and English
girls are encroaching upon their pre-
serves. Very many Americans and
English send their daughters to Ger
many to be educ2ted; the pretty dears
not only master the language in a
short time-quite as quickly and as
easily they make conquest of the
hearts of the susceptible German Off
Ger. The number Of army officers in
Germany with American and English
wives isvery large, and the fad ap-
pears TO be increasing. In Dresden,
particularly. the English and Ameri-
cans are in great demand; the native
madchen (be she ever SO preity) seems
to have no chance at all. In Berlin
there is fancy for peculiar style of
feminine beauty; the Berliner admires
brown eyes and hair and a dark, clear
complexion; these features argue
amiability, fidelity ana gentle breed
ing, they claim. The German girls
complain that the American girls are
natural adopts in affairs Of the heart :
that they seem endowed by nature
with all the arts, the audacity and the
confidence of the average young
widow.

Rinening Lemons in Florida.

English Industries states that novel
business, resting strictly on chemical
principles and needing nothing but a

of lemons by the SUMS rays by picking
the fruit while green and exposing it
to the fumes of burning sulphur,
whereby its color is changed to rich
golden yellow, infinitely more attract

The Last Sweetheart.

Gran'pas locks are white as sno"'
Those be still possesses,
Ghosts of curls of long ago,
Wraiths of boyhood's tresses.
Wrinkles DER his features thin
Zigzag without pity.
Like the streets and alleys III
Famous Boston city.
Time has bent his form with years,
And his legs are thinner
And less comely than the shears
Used by any timer
Lusty was he once and gay,
Fun Of manhood's graces,
But of that long vanished day
There are now few traces.
Yet he in his youthful pride q
Pleased the fair sex greatly;
Many assies for him sighed,
Many ladies stately.
Hearts once throbbed and achcd for him.
Tears wet siken lashes, y
But those eyes in death are dim
And those hearts are ashes.
Gran'pa has one sweetheart yet,
Daintiest of creatures,
Whose two eyes of deepest jet
Still approve his features.
Nellie is her name, you see,
And if remember
What her age is, she was three
Some time last December!
Oft her hand, so chubby fair,
Ger his face she passes
Tenderly, and with great care
Not to touch his glasses.
OFT his form I've seen her scan
And I've caught her saying:
"Gran'pa's such handsome man.
Thus her love betraying.

An Indian Scare on the Plains.

Writing about the first emigrant
train to California, General Bidweh
says in the Ceatury: The first Incl
dent was a scare that we had from a
party of Cheyenne Indians just before
we reached the Platte river, about two
weeks after we set out. One of our
men who CHANGED to be out hunting
some distance from the company and
behind us, suddenly appeared without
mule. gun or pistol, and lacking most
of his clothes, and in great excitement
reported that he had been surrounded
by thousands of Indians. The COM
pany, too, became excited, and Cap
tain Fitzpatrick tried, with but little
effect, to control and pacify them.
Every man started his team into
run, till the oxen, like the mules and
horses were in a full gallop. Captain
Fitzpatrick went ahead and directed
them TO follow, aud as fast as they
came to the bank of the river lie put
the wagons in the form of hollow
square and had all the animals secure
ly picketed within.
After a while the Indns came in
sight. There were only forty of them,
but they were well mounted on horses,
and were evidently war party, for
they Ii d no women except one, a
medicine woman. They came up and
campcd within 4 hundred yards Of us
on the river below. Fitzpatrick told
us they would not have come in that
way if they were hostile. Our hunter
in his excitement said that there were
thousands of them, and that they had
robbed him of his gun, mule aud
pistol.
When the Indians had put up their
lodges Fitzpatrick and John Gray, the
Olh HuulCL hiCHtlOICuY went Out W
them and by signs were made to I'M
dcrstand that the Indians did not in
tend TO hurt the man or to take his
mule or gun, but that he was so excl
ted when he saw them that they had to
disarm him to keep him from shooting
them; they did not know what had
become of his pistol or of lis clothes,
which he said they had torn of. They
surrendered the mule and the gun, thus
showing that they were friendly.
They proved to be Cheyenne Inlians.
Ever afterwards that man went by the
name of Cheyenne Dawson.

goods merchant of Boston, is like so
many prosperous people in Massachu-
setts, native of Maine. Left very
poor and fatherlcss in an obscure viii
lage while boy, he was bound out TO

The most remarkable canal in the
world is the one between Worsley and
st. IIclcn's in the north of England.
1t is sixteen miles long, and under
ground from oGd to end.
In Lancashire the coal mines are
very extensive, half the country being
undermined, and many years ago the
Duke of Bridgewater's managers
thought they could save money by
transporting the coal underground in
stead of on the surface. So the canal
was constructed and the mines drained
at the same time.
Ordinary canal boats are used, but
the power is furnished by men, and
the method of propu's sion is unique.
Ga the roof of the tunnel are placed
cross pieces at regular intervals. The
men lie on their backs upon the loads
of coal and lush with their feet
against the cross-bars on the roof, and
thus move forward the boats.

The cat in railroad construction is

tabby was successfully impressed into
the service of the cable car company
day or two ago. Ii was necessary to
get line through the main pipe
through which the cable is to run.
Where the cable tracks cross the
Northern Pacific the thing became a
puzzle. A man could not crawl
through, and there seemed no way of
stretching the cable.
The cat was then brought into ser
vice, a long string was tied around
her neck, she was put in the main pipe,
and some one yelled "scat." Away
she went, and in a jifly she was clean
through the main pipe. The string
shc had pulled through with her was
attached to the rope, and everything
was lovely.-[Spokane (Washinglom

Which Grow Faster, Boys or Girls

Which GrOw Faster, Boys or Girls !
Quetelet has expressed the opinion
that, as rule, boys in growing keep
ahead of girls, but recent measure
ments of 1000 children of both sexes
made in the Freiberg (Saxon) district
are against this conclusion. The boys,
up to their eleventh year, were found
TO run about 0.6 10 0.9 centimeters
taller than the girls. They were then
overtaken by the girls, who surpass d
them in height till their sixteenth year,
when the boys again grew faster than
the girls and came to the front.

Hal Andrews. 1t happened willie
he was stopping at Benares, the sacred
city of the Hindoos and the stronghold
of idolatry and superstition, when
making lazy pleasure tour of Asia.
"tBenares had a peculiar fascination
for him, as the oldest known habita-
ion of man OH the globe, and the
Eanges, the sacred river, was espe-
cially attractive.
"Morc than once he watched the
burning of bodies upon the funeral
pyres along the river. These pyr,s
are of logs-the bottom ones five feet
long, with shorter ones across until
they reach the height of three feet,

more logs are added, and all is set en-

fully collected and thrown into the

"Widows were formerly burned
alive with their dead husbands, but it
is now matter of choice, and =
strange as it may seem-many of them
choose that horrible death to the living
death of being without caste or friends,
as a widow must.
"One morning as he was watching
funeral preparations, the corpse sud-
denly showed signs of life. Instantly
there was a startled commotion among
the bowling relatives.
''AIud was hastily thrust into nose
and mouth, but still the ungrateful
maiden would not die.

relatives fled, the spectators shrugged
their shoulders and turned away, and
