The lions af India are going the way the
buffalo of America has gone, and they can be
better spared. Within the memory Of many
persons lions were common enough In Raj
putana, and even now roar may be heard
occasionally in the widest parts of Central
India; but the new railroad from Nagpur is
now being built through this country, and
that will drive out the few remaining lions
in the central provinces. Practically the
only lions remaining are said to be the race
existing in Kattywar. They are specially
preserved for royal sport; but even they are
regarded as doomed.
The popular subscription for erecting a
monument to the newly made Duke of Lau-
enburg, Prince Bismarck, is very successful.
At Berlin and Hamburg alone no less than
S37, 500 has already been gathered. The late
speech of Mr.. Won Hohenthal, in the Cham.
ber of Nobility, at Berlin, praising the ex-
chancellor, has produced great sensation in
Germany. It is probable that the Wishes
expressed in the speech will soon be fulfilled,
and that the bust of Bismarck, in white mar
BILE, will promptly adorn the hall of the
chamber. The popular subscription above
mentioned is not yet closed, and on it's final
amount will depend what kind of monu-
ment shall be erected in honor of the great
statesman.
The condition of affairs in the Argentine
Republic does not seem to be as dangerous
as some have thought. Immigration during
the first three months of the year. has de-
eidedly fallen of, and new feature in the
returns Is this springing up of a movement of
emigration, no less than 13, 600 persons hav-
ing abandoned the country in the period
mentioned. The volume Of foreign COM
merce has also undergone considerable dimi-
mutton, and the customs receipts are dimin-
ishing In consequence. Still, the Admins.
tration is making more resolute and
intelligent effort to facs the difficulty
than 1t has before displayed. President
Coleman has taken occasion in various public
addresses and messages to congress to insist
upon the need Of rigid economy in the ad-
ministration of public affairs. He has given
the best earnest of his determination in cut.

by as much as $4,000. 900, or about one-

evil of deprecated because immensely ir-
hated currency are diligently sought for, and

beneficial effects Of contracting the volume
of paper money.

Blood drinking ia rather an unsavory med-
ication. Every morning, however, fashiona.
BILE ladies suffering from ar@mis go to the
monumental slaughter house of La Villette,
just as if it were drinking room ct AK or
Vichy. There they drink rullock's blood at
thirty oentimes (six soue) glass, and obser-
vers say that the blood cure is often efiea-
cieus. Raspail, the real precursor of Pes-
teur, noticed that the butchers and even the
women bookkeepers in butchers shops are
singularly healthy, and that their blood is.
as rule, purer than that of people plying
other trades. Mile. Rosita Mauri, the fa-
nous opera danseuse, once spraired her foot
upon the stage. Ths doctor ordered her to
60 to La Villette every morning early and to
bake her dainty ankle in hot builock's blood.
The habit of blood drinking, like hot water
drinking, is nauseous at first, but the pa
tients think no more of it after time than
they would of gulping down an oyster or a
glass of absinthe. The animals ought natu-
rally to be healthy; but this can easily be
tested by experts. Although the practice
appears to have spread in France, the "blood
cure" was really invented by an English doc

A prophet is without honor in his own

Memorial Day.

Lovingly, tenderly, brothers, we bring,
Just as the summer-time merges from spring,
White of the lily and red of the rose,
Decking the place where our heroes repose
Many the years since our hearts angushed bled,
In the dark days when we numbered you dead,
Yet the heart prompts what the hand still may do
Brothers beloved, In memory of you.
Tho the heart throb with the pain of the past,
Thrills it with gratitude fervent and fast;
One is the land that you perished to save,
Free is the flag that We plant on each grave.
One by the flowers to-day scattered wide,
One beyond faction again to divide,
Sons of our country in blue or in gray,
Honor and cherish the old flag to-day.
Fresh from the garlands we lay on the tomb,
Tenderness, tolerance, loyalty bloom.
Not sorrows only the tears to day shed,
Peace to the living, Gods peace to the dead.

first round, appearing 70 considerable
advantage. Intense interest was man.
Tested and he was loudly chesred by
bis friends and received many signs
of encouragement. In the second
round the Englisbman adopted duck
ing maneuvres, In which he touched
Dixor's legs. This gave rice to cries
OF foul, which, however, was not al
lowed by the referee. In the third
round Wallace appeared to be consid.
ersbly tagged and Dixon came to the
front to considerable advantage. In
the succeeding round the American
forcsd the fight. In the tifth. sixth
and seventh they fought on even
grounds. From this ur to the tenth

from him pretty freely He came to
time. however, promptly at call,
though bis weakness was plainly sp.

to the eighteenth Dixon fought the
Euglishman all around the ring. At
the next call Wallace reached his cor
ner, but had been so badly used Up
that he was unable H. defend himself.
He leaned hslplessly on the ropes and
was obliged to give up the fight.
