1t seems that at dinner time last night
Private Goodson was eating dinner in the
room off the kitchen in the quarters, to-
gether with Private Blackmore Goodson

the angry words, informed Sullivan that
it was not his right TO talk To Goodson in
that manner. Private May entered and
took Sullivan's part, as did Nouneman,
who was assistant cook TO Sullivan
Finally May and Nouneman left, and
Blackmore, fearing they meant to do him
harm later ON. came into town and pro-

Origin Of Some Wedding Customs.

Now that the days for brides has come
It is interesting to know little about
the wedding customs. Everybody
knows that rice 10 thown after the happy
pair so that plenty may always follow
them and that this custom comes from
the Chinese, but for the throwing Of the
shoe no satisfactory explanation can be
found. The custom Of putting the ring
on the third finger Of the left hand al
ways suggests that q vein runs from that
finger to the heart, but ancients pre-
ferred II because it was the medicine
finger, all things pointed at or stirred
by 1t doing their duty well. In the
early days Of Christianity the wedding
ring was first put on the thumb, I'm the
name Of the Father, then on the fore
finger, ''and Of the Son." then on the
second finger, land Of the Holy Ghost"
and then on the third finger, where IL
remained, with the "Amen." This not
only symbolizes the belief in Trinity,
but was a positive acknowledgment
that the husband came next TO God.
Usually the wedding ring is plain
gold one, but in Russia, where the happy
pair exchange rings, the brides must DO
engraved In certain way and both must
be OF pure metal The beirothal ring is
Of great importance, and is also Of spe-
cial kind. A formal announcement is
made before the friends Of the family,
and then the bride cxpectant offers two
white doves, a practice said to have ex-
isted when the worship OF Venus pre-
vailed. A lock Of the maiden's hair Ia
then cut and given to the groom, who
offers in exchange for It a ring Of silver
set with turquoises, an almond cake and
some bread and salt. 30 strong feeling
prevails about the style Of the ring that
among the very poor II is often Of tin set
with blue glass. Very pale blue is con
sidered the most desirable Of all colors,
and the wedding gowns are usually Of
that shade.
Our brides might adopt a very COM
mendable custom-commenda at least
IN symbolism, which exists in Seryia,
where. as part Of the marriage ceremony,
he bride holds a piece OF sugar between
Der lips, which signifies that she will

The African lions are the largest and
most powerful of the species. They
generally inhabit the low commons that
creep along the sides of the streams.
They often carry off cows, antelopes, and
/ sometimes men. Whole villages are
built in the upper branches of trees to
avoid these boodthirsty animals. An
encounter with one of them nearly cost

The day was exceedingly pleasant, and
leaving our horses. with the oxen, we
strolled along the banks Of Livepoopo
river, which, in this part, abounds
in tall mattrusAes. Cautiously explo--
ing we came into full view of an
enormous black-maned lion and lioness.
The latter we only saw for minute as
she made her escape up the river under
cover of the brushwood. But the king
Of beasts came steadily forward and stood
looking at US. He fixed his eyes on
Saccanela, who, being an experienced
hunter, waited, knowing exactly the
time 10 fire. The beast, conscious Of
his strength, came slowly forward with
a majestic and steady gait until within
about sixteen yards of Saccamela, when
he settled himself, licking his lips and
wagging his tail, preparing to spring.
Crack went the rife of Saccamela. Lion
and man were lost for a minute in
cloud of smoke which, when cleared
away, revealed the form of the Zulu
lying full length in the grass, the lion
limping away about fifty yards off.
Kaufman and the remaining Zulu pur-
sued, and by making sharp angle got
within gunshot. Already wounded, and
under the fire Of two rifles, he soon
rolled over dead Meanwhile l was do
ing all could for poor Saecamela. whom
found apparently dead-a terrible cash
in his side and an arm broken. After
dressing the wound and applying what
restoratives we had. signs OF life began
to appear. A good draught Of brandy
revived him, but we had a sick man 10
care for for many a day after. The lion
was an enormous one. The skin we
took of, aud / forwardedS1t. together
