A thrilling story of an encounter with
leopard comes from Serajgunge, in In
dia. Two young English gentlemen be-
longing to the locality went out to hunt
leopard that had been making it's pres
ence unpleasantly felt in the neighbor-
ing villages. Neither was accustomed to
hunting or to the use of firearms. but
both were full of pluck and eager to
show their prowess. 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 one of them
and caught him by the thigh, inflictinp
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. 40
that the trigger would not move. Ha
tried to beat the leopard of from bis
companion, but the enraged beast turned
upon him, stripping his arm and literally
crunching his hand. Two of the beaters
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 Serajgunre
and it was found that the first ment;oned
was in such critical condition that he
could not be moved. He died shortly
afterwards. His companion was sent to
Calcutta for treatment. ------->-

What It Costa.

There are some intellectual employ
ments which require very small stock
IL trade. A mathematician, for instance.
may pursue his investigations, even into
the higher branches of pure science, with
very few books. But if man be more
than ordinarily interested in the great
problems of history and all that they in
volve and have an irrepressible banker
ing to know what is being discussed in his
favorite subjects, he must keep himself
in touch with the thought and discover
les Of others. If he be a dweller in q
great city he has clubs and Libraries,
newspapers and periodicals, books and
maps, almost at his elbow, to say moth
ing of the living men whom he may con-
suit with at any hour.
But if he be dweller in the wilder
ness, he must count the cost of having
literary tastes, and that cost he will have
to pay in coin of the realm. I hold it
to be simply impossible for very needy
man to keep pace with the historical re-
search of our time if his lot be cast in a
country village. Any man who has lost
his heart to the muse of history-even
though he can in no sense claim to be a
historian-is a man with tastes, and
such mans "pens, ink and paper"
must needs come to a great deal in the
course of the year. Such man may be
considered fortunate one who can pay
the reckoning by the profits of his own
goosequill.-Augustus Jessup in Con-
temporary Review.

Calculating the Rainfall.

The quantity of rain falling at any
place is estimated by means of very
simple piece of apparatus known as a
rain gauge. The most common form of
rain gauge consists of copper funnel,
the area of the mouth of which is accu-
rately known. The rain collected in this
funnel flows into a graduated measure,
which can very easily be constructed by
any one out of a small glass tumbler or
beaker by FASTING on it's side narrow
strip of paper, carefully marked off into
inches, half inches, quarters, eighths and
sixteenths; or into inches, tenths and
twentieths Surprising that the area of
the mouth of the receiving funnel is five
times that of the graduated measure,
then depth of five inches in the meas
ure would represent depth of one inch
OH an area equal to that of the aperture
of the funnel.-New York Telegram.

A Pointer on Waltzine.

81 want to give you tip on dancing, +"
said flashily dressed man about town
yesterday afternoon.
''What is it?' he was asked
"Simply this: There is hope for poor
dancers. As poor dancers are legion this
is important"
"Well. what is the tip?'
Nothing more nor less than this: If
you are a poor dancer-and of course
you are-get heavy partner who is a
good dancer"
'What good will that do?"
Cali the good in the world. You are
light mani mean as far as physical
weight is concerned. The girl is a good
dancer. You go swinging around with
her. You are in doubt. You waver just
little bit. Does break occur? Not
at all. The momentum keeps you NOV
ing. The heavy girl-bless her heart
swings you right round at the proper
time and place. The result is that spec
tators imagine you are tip top dancer,
when if it hadn't been for the heavy girl
your waltz would have ended disastrous
ly."-North American.

Chloroform, which has proved such an
inestimable boon to thousands of suffer
ers. was discovered by chance. DIR. Simp-
son (who was afterwards knighte0 set
himself to find some an@sthetic to take
the place of ether, which had gained a bad
deaths had occurred through the careless
use of it. Other scientists joined him in
his researches, and carefully analysed
every substance which they thought was
in the least likely to give the desired re-
suit. One night the party were busily
engaged in their self imposed task. They
had tested every subject which had been
selected for experiment without any
thing approaching to favorable issue,
and were beginning to feel disheartened
by their lack of success.
AS one of them was poking about the
laboratory to see if he could find any
thing else which might be put into the
little testing glass with which each was
provided, he happened upon small bot
tie of dark substance which was looked
upon more as curiosity than as possess
ing any useful properties. With scarcely
thought of success he poured little OF
it into each of the tubes, and the mem
bers of the party began to inhale it. For
few moments they seemed ssized with
an unusual gladness, but soon they one
after another fell to the ground, over
come by the powerful fumes. AS they
gradually came to again they recognized
that their search was over, and from
that occasion dates the use of chloroform
as an anBsthetic.- Montreal Star.

THE CITY Jay"
He Is Generally Worse Than His Country

He ID Generally Worse Than His Country
COusin-An Instance.
1.-The city Jay is a heap more of lamb
than the worst 'hayseed' that ever
walked" said business acquaintance.
"Pve just had fresh proof of it. You re-
member the horse sale held here short
time ago? I made up my mind to buy a
horse, and went down there. A friend
of mine, who knew that had good judg-
ment regarding horsefesh, asked me if
would help him in selecting one, and
said l would, SO we went down together.
He had buggy horse, but he wanted a
better one, and didn't want to be swim
died. We looked the horses over some
what, and became interested in mare
of fine condition and blood and bought
her. A short time afterward 3-year-old
colt was brought into the ring and it
caught my friends eye at once. He
asked me what thought of it. looked
the horse over and told him it was Q very
fine animal and that he would make no
mistake in buying it. The colt was put
up without any especial attention having
been given it, and at an off moment and
before my friend knew it, the horse had
been knocked down to him for the ridic-
ulously low figure of $05. told him he
had good bargain and went away.
''The other day I ran across him and
asked him how he liked his purchase.
He looked at me kind of shtepish and
made confession. Said he had weak
ened somewhat of the purchase after he
had taken possession of the colt, and it
had occurred to him that an $85 horse
wasn't exactly what he wanted. While
he was meditating, with more or less re-
greet, on the purchase, he ran against a
man who asked him if he had bought
the colt. He told the stranger he had,
and the man smiled and said the colt
was vicious and plenty dear at $S5. Then
the stranger said he had spanking good
driving horse, and if my friend would
give him his stable address he would
drive around next day and show him the
animal. This was done, and the man
came with a fine animal and took my
friend for spin on the boulevard. He
left him at his door. and called on him
the next day and tried to negotiate a
sale, but my friend, having two horses,
didn't want another. The upshot of it
all was that my friend traded his two
horses for the one of the stranger and
gave him an order on the stableman for
them, the understanding being that the
man was to deliver the horse he had ex
hibited when he took the other two away.
My friend called around at the stable in
the afternoon to see his new possession
and was f1oored to learn that his two
horses had been taken away and nothing
left in exchange. And he didn't know
the swindler or anything about him. He
is now mourning the loss of the horse he
owned in the first place and also the
colt, which as worth $500 of any mans
money. When the city man enters the
'chump' class he takes the blue ribbon"
