JENI STANLEY'S FEAT.
A Sixteen Year Old Boy Bags an Ari-
iona Lion.

A Sixteen Year Old Boy Bags an Arr
iona Lion.
A letter from Tucson, Ariz., says:
Arthur Stanley is miner who lives near
Tucson, and it was his habit always to
go armed in hopes of killing off the
mountain lions which came down from
the hills in the night and carried away
his young sheep. The old man hal two
sons, James and BERTHE, the first Is and
the latter five years younger. The e.der
Stanley always warned his boys to take
the family rifle with them when they
went to hunt the COWS. Forgetfulness
came near costing both the boys their
lives recently. One day last week at
sunset after finding the COWS the
bows were on their way home when
their dog brought a lion to bay on
the top of high rock. James didn't
want to lose SO good a chance to bag a
lions skin, so ne told BERTHE to run all
the way home and get the rifle, promis-
ing to keep the lion at bay till the little
boy got back with his fathers gun.
Through fright and fatigue the little fell
low lost his way and didn't reach home
at all that night. James, who had been
reinforced by neighbours dog, set both
animals to worrying the enraged lion,
which came down from its perch and at
tackled the boy. James was saved by
big hickory club and by the pluck of the
two bull dogs. All were badly bitten.
James left arm was torn, and when the
dogs finally drove the lion up a tree,
wearying of the doubtful struggle, he
hobbled home for the rifle, hobbled back
and brought the lion down from the top
of the tree after it had fatally wounded
one of the dogs. The lion was a full
grown male and measured 81 feet from
tip to tip. BERTHE Stanley was found at
daylight two miles from home asleep in
the woods and James is now the hero OF
the Tucson valley,

Many people are under the impression
that cucumber is very indigestible, and
when they eet it they do SO under pro-
test, and with apprehensions of possible
dire consequences. How this delusion
can have arisen it is difficult to say, I'M
less it be that cucumber is often eaten
with salmon and other indigestible table
friends. 1t is not the cucumber, how
ever, but the salmon that sits so heavily
upon our stomach's throne. Cucumber,
in fact, is very digestible when eaten
properly. 1t can not, indeed, be other
wise when it is remembered that it con-
sists mainly of water, and that those
parts which are not water are almost
exclusively cells of a very rapid growth.
In eating cucumber it is well to cut it
into thin slices, and to masticate, them
thoroughly. Even the vinegar and the
pepper that are so often added to it are
Of service to the digestion if not taken
in excess. The cucumber, as every one
knows, belongs, to the melon tribe. but
in our some what cold country it does
not grow to any very large size, and
therefore it is frmer and looks less di
gestible than its congener, the melon

a NEW ENGLISH GAME,
Which Beats Croquet and is Becoming
Popular.

Popular.
A new out of door game called the
colors" has been invented by Mrs \.
Hartshorne, of Bradbourne Hail. near
Derby, England. 1t may be played by
four or eight players. For the four
players the materials for the game are
four sets of five posts painted red, white,
blue, and green. Each player has lit
tie rack on which she OF he carries eight
rings, two each of the same colors, and
two small flags bearing the letters r.,
OF L, signifying right or left There
are also flags painted black to indicate
fault The court should be 60 feet long
by 36 feet wide. To arrange the ground
between, the posts are planted in sets of
five, each post two feet six inches apart
from its neighbor, in a figure which
would form a cross, the first or starting
set being at one end of the ground, the
end or fini hing set at the extreme end
of the court, exactly opposite the start,
and the side sets in the middle of each
side of the court Each player being
furnished with his complement of eight
rings, which have previously been shaken
up in bag, two partners stand on each
side Of the starting set of posts facing
each other. The whole object of the
game is to get rid of the rings in such
manner that they retain their proper
sequence on the posts. There is no
throwing or running. The players walk
leisurely from set to set, deposit their
rings if they can, and then walk on to
the next set of posts. One PLAYER may
get rid of a ring by placing it on his
partners ring, and any player may play
two rings, following if possible. There
is no hurry or scurry, but there is a GER
tain amount of science in the game, and,
of course, it may be varied in many
ways. 1t may be called the quadrillc of
garden games. 1t will never, in any
way, interfere with tennis, because it
appeals to totally different people from
tennis players, but there is plenty of
room for it, and it is certainly prettier
and more interesting than croquet,
thought it seems so simple. The new
game was played the other afternoon in
the garden of the Inner Temple by
a number of trained players before a
party of specially invited guests. : Pail

Making an Idiot Intelligent.

Probably the most extraordinary surgi-
cal operation on record is reported from
Paris. DR.. Lannelongue, an eminent
specialist in the children's hospital, has
Just succeeded in the effort to give in
telligence to a poor little idiot. The
child, little girl four years old, had a
deformed head, only about one-third the
size of an ordinary little one of her age.
She never smiled, never took notice of
anything, and she could neither walk nor
stand. The doctor became convinced
that the condition of the little creature
was due to that abnormal narrowness of
the head, which hinderrd the growth of
the brain. About the middle of May last
he made long and narrow incision in
the left skull and cut a portion out of
the left side of it without injuring the
dura matter. The result of this opera
ton was something astounding. In less
than a month the child began to walk.
Now she smiles, interests herself in ev-
erything around her, and plays with a
doll. A tolerably bright child has taken
the place of the idiot

Left Leggedne ss.

There is popular idea that because the
right arm is more often used and stronger
than the left, so the right leg is stronger
than the left. This is not correct; there
is evidence that the left leg in most peo-
pie is stronger than the right. From the
theoretical point of view, it would ap-
pear that in all manual labor requiring
increased use of the right hand the left
leg is also employed on the principle of
equilibrium. In the case of lower ami
mails Except acknowledgements, etc.,,
and babies, when walking on all fours,
the right fore limb moves with the left
hind limb, and vice versa. 1t follows
from this that man, using the right arm
more than the left, would probably use
the left leg more than the right Many
people find less exertion in walking
around large circles to the right than in
going to the left This is also the case
in race paths for athletic sports, nearly
all of which are arranged for the racers
to 20 in circles to the right in running.
Again, travellers have observed that hunt
ers, when lost on prsiries, wander around
in circles to the right. This fact had
been attributed to their following the
course of the sun; but this does not ap-
pear to be necessarily the case. Many
skaters can perform more figures on the
left than on the right foot-or, at any
rate, in commencing, figures are more
readily done on the left foot. With rope
dancers it is usually observed that the
more complicated feats of balancing are
performed on the left foot. In dancing
gyration is chiefly to the right, but few be-
ing able to reverse. In dressing many men
must put the left leg into their trousers
first. before the right, some even going
80 far as to state that if, through some
accident, they SHOULD have reversed the
process, they have to remove the offend
ing right trouser or boot before contin-
uing their toilet. So

What Happened to Cruel Menagerie
Visitor.

VISITOR.
The anteater is described as being an
extremely stupid slow'movinS animal,
by no means given to attacking its
neighbors, but when hard pressed it is
said to sit up on its headquarters like a
bear and defend itself with its powerful
claws. Apropos of this habit we have
heard the following story of an anteater
at the Zoo, and, though we can not
vouch for its scientific accuracy, it has
a moral, and will, we think, bear repeti-
ton:
A man-one of the class so well known
to, and hated by, the keepers, whose
chief interest in visiting the menagerie
appears to be to torment the unfortunate
misunderstanding by the anteaters cage
was heard to remark that this was the
sort of animal he liked, as it could not
bite He then proceeded to poke it with
his new silk umbrella, on which the ant
eater retaIiated by quietly taking hold Of
that weapon with its claws, with the re-
suit that the unfortunate owner was left
in possession of the frame, while the ami
NAL carried off the silk as a trophy of
well earned victory over its enemy.

The existence Of a European republic
which came into being early in the pres
emit century, lasted more than 80 years,
and then was permanently extinguished,
to b forgotten abroad by all except
those who are well versed in history. has
just been recalled by the death of the
man who was the last president Of this
republic.
Herr SCHNEIDER Won Schindelheim,
chief magistrate of the Republic of Cra-
COW from 1910 to the year 1848, when
that little remembered commonwealth
came to an end in Austrian protection,
died recently at Cracow. He had become
o canon of the cathedral there, as well as
q professor of theology, and was well
known for his researches in Oriental lit
erature.
At the beginning of this century Cra-
COW, the ancient capital of Poland, which
in the seventeenth century had had
zoo, 900 people, with rs churches, vast
cathedral, and many other fine buildings,
had sunk to a population of $4,000. Its
cathedral and half its churches still re-
manned, but the fortunes of the Polish
capital had fled since it had been an
nexed to Austria.
The congress of Vienna, sitting in 1914,
put Cracow upon its feet again by raising
it to the dignity of an independent repub-
lie. As such it continued, with varying
fortunes, until, in 1848, Austria used an
instruction as a pretext for once more
annexing the city and its dependent ter
ritory, and extinguishing its liberties.
Herr SCHNEIDER, the president of the
republic at the time of the remuneration,
was treated very much as if he were the
monarch of a state who had voluntarily
surrendered his rights. 1t was said, in
deed, that he had been for some time
under the Austrian influence. He was
at once given a decoration and the title
of councillor, and permitted-a great
honor in Australia assume the PROPOSE
ton "von, which is mark of nobility.
Becoming Herr SCHNEIDER Won Schln-
delheim, the e1 president practically re-
tired to monastery in the city which
he had governed, and was forgotten still
more completely than the unfortunate
republic over whose dying destinies he
had presided.
