Encounter with n Leonard.

A thrilling story of an encounter with
a leopard comes from Serajgungc, i'll In
dia. Two young English gentlemen be-
longing to the locality went out to hunt
a leopard that had been making its pres
ence u%npleasantly felt in the %neighbor-
ing villages. Neither was accustomedto
hunting OF to the use of firearms, but
both were full of pluck and eager to
show their proves. They took up their
station on a patch of cleared ground,
awaiting the leopard that the heaters
were chasing from his lair, when sud-
denly the brute leaped on ono of them
and caught him by the thigh, ~inflicting
terrible injuries.
His companion, seeing his danger, tried
to fire at the brute, but unfortunately the
safety pin, with the use of which he was
unacquainted, had locked the gun, so
that the trigger would not move He
tried to beat the leopard off from his
companion, but the enraged beast turned
upon him, stripping his arm and literally
crunching his hand. Two of the heaters
came up and used their bamboos with
such effect that the animal turned tail
and returned to the jungle. The two
Europeans were removed to Serajgunge,
and it was found that the first mentioned
was in such q critical condition that he
could not be moved. He died shortly
afterwards. His companion was sent to
Calcutta for treatment.-Pall Mall Ga

Tho Storks in Council.

Near Oggershcim, a small village on
the banks of the Rhine, there is n large
meadow where every autumn the storks
are in the habit of meeting previous to
their annual migration. On one of these
occasions above fifty storks were OBJ
served formed in q ring, in the center of
which was IL whosehppearance showed
the greatest alarm. One of the party
seemed to address the assembly by clap
ping its wings for about five minutes.
1t was followed by a second, a third and
a fourth, who each clapped its wings in
the same odd manner as the first. AT
last all the storks forming the ring aom-
menced clapping their wings; and, when
they had done this, they with one accord
fell upon the poor culprit in the middle
and dispatched him in a few seconds;
after which they rose up in a body, and
one, according to custom, taking the
lead, they winged their way toward the
south. What offense the poor stork had
committed hat had brought upon him
SO sad a fate is of course unknown

A Brave Knngaroo.

A very pathetic story comes from Aus
tralia describing a %kangaroo's daring for
the sake of her young. The owner of a
country station was sitting one evening
on the balcony outside his house when
he was surprised to notice a kangaroo
lingering about, alternately approaching
and retiring from the house, as though
half in doubt and fear what to do. At
length she approached the water pals,
and, taking a young one from her pouch,
held it to the water to drink. While her
baby was satisfying its thirst the mother
was quivering all over with excitement,
for she was only a few feet from the bal
cony on which n of her great foes was
sitting watching her. The little one hav-
ing finished drinking, it was replaced in
the pouch, and the old kangaroo started
off at a rapid pace. When the natural
timidity of the kangaroo is taken into
account it will be recognized what aston
ishing bravery this affectionatc mother
betrayed. 1t is a pleasing ending to the
story to he able to state that the eye wit
ness was so affected by the scene that
from that time forward he could never
shoot a kangaroo.-New York Telegram.

A novelty that is on the market is an
electric matchbox, which strikes a light
ed wick in a little vessel of perfumcd oil
whenever it is open, and is said to con
tain 400 lights before it must be replen-

silver matchboxes which are fashionable
at the present time. 1 saw one in the
hands of E. G. Woodford, the American
who has returned from seven years of
exploration in Africa, and who was as
tickled with it as a boy with his first
pair of boots.
"Many is the time," said he, 'that we
have talked about the possibility of such
a matchbox out in the wilds of Africa.
I always carried wax matches out there,
because I could strike them in any gallo
of wind. But once out of matches a
fellow was pretty badly off. The natives
make fire by rubbing st,y sticks together,
but they know what wood to select. 1

ing about such a matchbox as this, that

'ZOln'a OniniOna.

lola has fixed opinions on Socialism,
and says at heart he believes himself to
be a Socialist. He alarmed us one day
by saying, Before another century shall
have hardly b%egun--nay, before this cen
fury ends-1 believe society will be over
turned. This socialrevolution will begin
in Germany, 1 am sure, for German So
cialists are the most determined. My
books are all written in pity, for I have
carefully studied the miseries of miners,
the miseries of all workmen. The revo-
luton of 1850 did nothing for the work
ing classes, 1 mean the ouvriers. The
peasants obtained land; the ouvriers lost
privileges they had formerly enjoyed.
Let us hope that this social transforma-
ton will come without bloodshed, for
otherwise what may occur I know not. "
