A Lucky Shot.

A few days ago as james Knight, of
Shelter Point, near Nanaimo, British
Columbia, was working in the woods
close TO his own house and barn, he heard
series of squeals from a litter of little
pigs which were running about the gar
den. Going in the direction of the sounds
he discovered panther of very large
proportions carrying off one of the pork
ers. Running to the house with all pos
sible speed, he secured his gun, his dog
in the meantime chasing the marauder,
which took 10 the trees. Taking aim at
the beast, whose glistening eyes shone
through the foliage and whose growls
made it impossible to mistake his where
abouts, he brought the animal down, pre-.
venting him making a dying charge by a
well-directed shot into his brain. This
brute, and several others of his kind,
with the assistance of the bears in the
neighborhood, have latterly made consid-
erable havoc among the smaller domesti-
Gated animals, and it is proposed ere long
to organize a shooting party with the OBJ
ject of exterminating them. - Victoria

A FrOlic OF Fashion.

A prominent dealer in leather, from
London, says that never before was there
such craze in London for queer leather
as at the present time. He says also:
''All kinds of skins, from the tough,
thick hide of an elephant to the thinner,
.enderer frogs, are pressed into service to
meet the demands of the fashionable.
Some of our shops are stocked with
supply of fancy articles that are made
from the skins of all sorts of beasts, rep
tiles and fishes. These singular objects
are exhibited in the windows, where
heir appearance proves great attraction
to the crowds. Made up into various ar
ticles are yellow pelican skins, lion and
panther skins, buffalo skins fish skins,
monkey skins, and the coverings of al
most every living thing known. They
are tanned and sometimes dyed with diff
terent colors. think it looks hideous

smuggIing Jewels FrOm Me1IcO.

Commenting upon evidence in a re-
cent smuggling case tried In San An
tonic, Texas, District Attorney Evans
told his experience in the trial OF men
charged with bringing goods across the
border without having paid duty.
"The Government" he said, "might
as well abolish the duty on jewelry and
precious stones, so far as its value along
the Mexican border is concerned. Great
quantities of such are brought into this
country, but it is very seldom that duty
is paid upon them. of course, the
smaller an article is the easier it is to
escape detection. Fine jewelry and pre-
eious stones are safely smuggled on this
account, and quite number of the
smugglers are known to the Custom
house officials, who, however cannot be
detected.
"Men and women almost known to
have jewelry in their possession are
stopped and searched, but nothing duti-
able is revealed A thousand dollars
worth OF precious stones might be hid
den under q plaster. False pockets in
clothes and wearing apparel are common.
do not believe that as many precious
stones as formerly are brought from
Mexico, bat there is plenty OF Mexican
jewelry smuggled into the United States. "

When twilight's hush is drawing nigh
And thwart the blue the shadows lie
Fond mem'ries cluster thick and fast
Around the dear old buried past;
'Tis then dream of rosy hours,
Faith, hope and love in wooded bowers
And merry voices low and sweet,
And converse fraught with joy complete.
Still brighter visions round me cling,
When song birds brown are carrolling,
How that we pledged our hearts pure vows
Beneath the apples crimson boughs,
And strolled the voodlands through ant
through
For clovers red and vi'lets blue,
And smiling, laughing lily bells,
The pride Of moss entangled dells.
These vanished years they come and go.
Like spectres gliding to and fro,
Across my weary, songless path
That lies along life's aftermath;
But soon, beyond the sun-kissed hills,
When freed from earthly cares and ills,
I'll meet the loved and brave Of yore,
And yearn the perfect past no more.

Famous Old Giants.

At all times and in all countries, says
The Irish Times, kings aud MOBILES had
fancy for including among their retainers
either a giant or dwarf, sometimes both.
Frederick the Great had his corps of gi-
gantic grenadiers; and in the Tower of
London may be seen lance and some
enormous armor of sixteenth century
work, which, doubtless, belonged to some
giant, knight or trooper of the kings
body guard. James /. had attached to
bis person porter named Walter Par
sons, commonly called the Staffordshire
giant, handsome, brave, and strong
young man, who had begun life as a
farrier. His height was seven feet, seven
inches, aud his portrait exists, engraved
by Glover. Parsons lived on into the
reign of Charles l., and was succeeded
by another giant, William Evans, tive
inches taller than his predecessor.

The Boston Cultirator believes that
'men of purely scientific training are of
less assistance in practical affairs than
their education would suggest. The
man of science has little faith in new
methods or new inventions. He is sell
dom an originator. His knowledge is
that of tradition. He frequently scouts
at new ideas as impracticable, because
they are not recognized in books. The
inventor seldom travels in the same road
with the scientist. The inventor needs
to leave the beaten path and press on to
the unexplored forest of possibilities.
He is often handicapped if he endeayors
to conform to rules already laid down
by pure science. Few college-bred men
have proved inventors. Original
thought, bold action, patient persistence,
knowledge of natures laws are prime
factors in the successful career of the
inventor -

The Tonquin pirate who recently
cleaned up $50, 600 as ransom for the re-
lease of the three captive Frenchmen has,
observes the San Francisco Chronicle,
evidently become enamored of the lucra-
tive business. He now offers standing
reward of 500 to the native who will
deliver a Frenchman into his hands or
$40 to one who will warn him that troops
are approaching. In country where a
coolie works the whole year round for So
this noble reward ought to insure the
entcrprising pirate a rush of business
until he has made LIVING in the interior
of Tonquin too expensive for the Euro

1t is noted by the New York Sun as
something remarkable that a Maryland
colored man dreamed he was to die the
next day, and sure enough he died.
"When Pacific Islander wants to die,
he sits down and dies himself: Just
naturally dies by force of will. He is
moro likely to be three days about it
than one day. Then one OF the difficult
ties in bringing African slaves to the
coast is that they win turn their tongues
back into their throats and go off like
lambs -

The Philadelphia Press enumerates
these instances to prove that modern
commerce has curious effects on price
and on the lives of animals: Camphor
has gone uISin this country from sixty
TO ninety cents pound because it is
wanted in Europe for smokeless pow
ders. Rubber has advanced from fifty
five to ninety cents pound because so
much of it is wanted in electrical opera
tions. Copper, besides being wanted in
telegraph, telephone and electric light
wires, has advanced because sulphate of
copper has been found to be the only
sure cure for phyloxera. Young male
elephants are being hunted out in Africa
because their tusks make billiard balls,
and this, faster than any other demand,
is likely to extinguish the elephant The
faacy for alligator leather is making alli-
gators extinct; the muskrats multiply
and honeycomb the levees, aud hence a
great Mississippi food.
