his voice became source of fear and
alarm to the laborcrs above him. Bill
lard's mOtionless condition. his want oI
food for SO long time, began to over
throw his moral courage. Ills reason
gave place to delirium, his hope to dcs
pair. The workmen heard him at one
moment lamenting his fate and piteously
crying for food, and at the next moment
they heard him abandoning himself t.
the most textravagant gayety. Laughter
heard in such a situation was thing
almost too deplorable and shocking for
human ears to listen to. When con.

surgeon wlsO had never quilted the
spot since the time of the accident,
recommended the workmen to hurry on
their labors, as the man could probably
| survive but few hours.
In consequence of this advice, q new
direction was given to the work, and in
place Of passing down by the side Of the
spot where the poor man was supposed
to be. the excavation was carried slop-
ingly down to his head. In short, after
three days and three nights of incessant
toll, the head of Billiard was reached,
and cleared of all surrounding matter.
The instant that this took place, it was
notified to those above by a cry. and
the deafening shouts that were i'm.
mediately raised showed what an as
semblage had gathered around the place
to learn the issue of the case. The de-
liverance took place exactly a quarter
of an hour before eleven o'clock in the
morning of the 30th. When raised once
more 70 the daylight, every precautiOB
was taken to prevent any bad effects
from change so sudden. lie was car
ried to neighbOring house. with his
body and head we'll wrapped up, and
there he was laid in an apartment from
which the light was, in q great meas
ure, excluded. After some spoon
fuls of light broth and little wine
had been administered to him, he fell
Immediately asleep, never having tasted
that blessing during his confinement.
Before sleeping he had spoken in such
a way as to show that his mind had re-
covered its tone. His pulse was weak.
but quick. beating one hundred and
twenty-six times in q minute; his skin
was cold, his thirst burning, and his
tongue stuck almost to the roof Of his
mouth. While confined he had eaten a
portion Of the leather front Of his cap.
and he had even, he said, endeavored to
grind with his teeth stone that lay
before his mouth.
Etienne Billiard soon recovered. His
Imprisonment had not been SO protract-
ed as to render the vital heat difficult of
restoration. His body, however. though
not mangled or bruised. as il might have
been expected to be, retained for o long
time feeling of dull pain from the
pressure that had been exerted upon it

A DANGEROUS PET.


The First Taste Of blood Dispellcd q
Tame Lions Nature.
A lion hunter named Conrad started
from Bremen some time ago for Africa
to procure animals for q menagerie.
While in the depths Of the forest of the
dark continent he enjoyed the exciting
but highly-dangerOus sport of hunting
the king Of beasts. Upon his return to
Bremen he brought with him . small
lion cuba pet-which he had captured
when but few days old.
At first it was sickly and looked as
though it would not live long. but by
careful nursing it Outgrew its infantile
weakness and began to build up a strong
constitution. The name Of the cub was
Belle, and she slept beside her masters
bed at night. In daytime she followed
him about, being rs playful as kitten.
Conrad one night lay down for nap on
a lounge. and was soon asleep. He was
awakened by a sharp pain in his left
hand. He attempted to move it, when
he heard vicious growl.
On investigation Conrad found that
Belle had his hand between her teeth,
had bitten the member through, and
was eagerly tapping the blood that
flowed from the wound. The cubs
eyes were ablaze with a fierce light
and it then dawned on him that Belle
was no longer a pet-she had been trans
formed from q domestic animal into .
dangerous brute.
Recognizing his desperate situation,
Conrad moved softly, so as not to dis
turb the animal, and. drawing re-
volvcr, shot her through the brain.
With a blood-curdling scream she
jumped into the air and fell dead on the
floor. 1t appears that while Conrad
was sleeping the cub began to lick his
hand. and the brute's sharp, fle-like
tongue had gradually torn the flesh un-
til blood came. The first taste Of human
blood had evidently dispelled the nature
Of the pet and Belle had become q
vicious brute, thirsting for more. Chi.

Marrying by Photograph.

A prosperous SlavOnian rancher in the
south end OF the Huachuca mountains
come time ago visited his native land
and found large number Of worthy
young ladies among his acquaintances
who would he only too happy to find
homes and husbands in this land Of
progress and liberty. Securing the pho
tographs Of number Of these young
ladies, he brought them back with him
and lost no opportunity toshow them TO
his bachelor friends and neighbors. He
told them that he had the promise OF
these young ladies that they would come
to America and marry the man he would
recommend. and As q consequence, .

POINTS ON NOSEOlOGY.
why All G Great Generals Have Had Roma
Noses.

Why All q reot Generals Have Jto0 KOWoA
Noses.
The features are developed by the
mind. A child that is reared amid
pleasant surroundings and whose mind
is filled with pleasant thoughts will
have a pleasing face. The shape of the
nose and chin will depend entirely upon
the strength and character Of the men,
tai faculties. At ten boys nose may
be small and turned up At the end; at
fifteen it may have grown large and be
straight ON top, and At twenty-five it
may be q pronounced Roman. 1t all de-
pends upon his mind. The Romans had
big noses with high bridges because
they were sturdy and determined race
of people. Sturdiness and determine
ton will give q man q Roman nose, NO
matter how little or how snubby .
mans proboscis may have been when
he was born. The Greeks had straight,
delicate, fiAely-chiseled noses, be-
cause their tastes were artistic and
poetic. You never saw . poet or an
artist with . Roman or . snub nose, did
you? On the other hand, it would be
hard to find . great General who had
not . Roman nose. Get pictures Of
Alexander the Great, Cesar. Frederick
the Great Napoleon. Wellington. Wash.

they haven't all got big. strong noses.

safe to say that IL we could have poF.

organs little, pudgy affairs, not unlike
those of the common run of babies. Those
men were not great Generals because
they had Roman noses, they had Romas

JUST HOW IT IS.

When you grasp the hand OF fortune,
And lightly step along,
TIE hours glide on like the numbers
OF heart cheering song.
Your pathway is lined with faces
Where smiles and pleasures blends
All the world will offer service
When you don't need friend
You may sneer at fair discretion,
When solid at the bank.
Your rudeness is mere pleasantly,
And quite the thing for rank.
Men will thrust upon you favors,
And fawn and condescend
Till you wonder at you kingship.
When yOu don't need friend.
They will shout your name In meeting.
Ana vote you into fame.
They win load your board with presents
Obric-a- -brac and game.
They will strain themselves in showing
What kindness they intend,
When sunshine foods your atmosphere
And you don't need a friend.
But wait and note how comical
This self-same world can be,
When the sun throws not your shadow,
And your hopes go to sea
You may have heard the cucumber
Has artic chills to lend
Well, the world drops under zero
when you do need a friend.
William Lyle, in Detroit Free Press.
