DOG AGAINST LION.

Tho Canine Won end His Owner Pocketed
Several Hundred Dollars.
The recent attempt of Texas men to
get up fight between two bulldogs
and puma reminds me of q queer pro-
cecding in our old mining camp in Ne
vada, writes correspondent of the
New York Sun. There were plenty of
mountain lions providing around in those
days, and one off day we set a dead
fall in hopes to make capture. The
fall" was heavy log which was in
tended to break the lions back, but one
night varmint was caught in such n
way that he was simply held down and
not bit injured. He was full grown
and as savage as meat axe, and we
had an awful time getting him down to
camp and Gagged up. We calculated on
selling him for good round sum, but
after about n week along came q man
with the meaneSt looking cur dog at his
heels You ever saw. Tho animal was
gaunt, wild-cyed, homely and awkward,
and he didn't weigh over twelve pounds
Mt the most. The man had heard about
our lion, and after looking him over he
said:
"Boys, here seems to be IN opportun-
ity. think my dog can lick your lion
inside of five minutes"
You could have heard us laugh and
yell a mile away, but the man preserved
very serious face and added:
Anybody kin holler, but money talks.
Gentlemen, I'll bet hundred even that
my dog ticks your lion"
We jumped onto him awfully rnpid
under that proposition, and when he Of
To ,,.,1r k,,,-
we jumped the faster. After the stakes
were up we set about fixing for the
light. There was u natural sink near
by about us large rs n circus tent, but
as we had no way to inclose it we had
to get collar around our lions neck
and send seven miles for q chain to
hold him. BY the use of forlked sticks
and blankets we got him out of tho
cage and chained him to a stake in tho
center of the sink. My! but wasn't he
ripping mad! He rolled over and over
he stood on end no howlcd and
screamed, and mono Of us would have
gone within reach of him for a thou-
sand dollars.
The fight was set for Sunday, and
there were four hundred men there.
AT nine o'clock in the morning every
thing was ready, and the master of
ceremonies announced:
"Gcntlcmcn, the bet is that this ere
dog liclSs that ere lion In five minits."
The owner of the dog advanced with
the canine under his arm, and the lion
screamed The dog was flung Mt him,
and then wonderful to relate, the lion
gave him one look and turned tail. Tho
dog ran him five times around that
rink, biting ut his heels, and then,
scared half to death, the big beast
twisted his head out of the collar,
broke through the crowd and busted
for the cedars. The dog ran him out of
sight, and then came back us if nothing
had happened.
Gentlemen, the dog wins" shouted
the referee, and the stakes were handed
over.
We offered the man one hundred dol
lars to explain how it was done, but he
replied:
Il couldn't do it for thousand,
cause l don't know. All 1 know is
that every thing gets out of his way"
And not one of us could ever feel
satisfied as to why that raging old lion
turned coward the way he did.

AN INTERESTING FIND.
Historic Tablets Recently Cncnrthed In
Upper Egypt.

Upper Egypt.
According to the Washington Star
the Smithsonian Institution has lust re-
ccived information, not yet printed or
made public In this country, of the re-
cent discovery Mt Tcl-cl-Amarin, in
upper Egypt, of a number of tablets re-
lating to the history of Jerusalem and
dating bacls six hundred years earlier
than any records hitherto known. When
1t is understood that these tablets of
stone arc letters passed between the
King OF Jerusalem and the Pharaoh of
Egypt four hundred years before the
birth of David, who was tho father of
Solomon, some notion will be formed
of their extreme interest Several
of the letters were addressed to the
ruler Of Egypt by the King of Jcrusa-
lem, Abdi-Taba. The cities of Pales-
tine were ut that time tributary to
Egypt, and in one of the letters the
writer says: The IIabiri people are
conqucring the cities of the King"-i
c., the cities tributary to the Pharaoh
therefore the King may turn his face
to his subjects and send troops. If the
troops arrive this year the countries Of
the King, my Lord, mny be saved, but
if no troops arrive the countries of tho
King, my Lord, will exist no longer"
This tremendous find" ut Tcl-el
Anaria includes two hundred tablets
largely Of Babylonian coneiform script,
which is thus discovered for the first
time to have been in use ut SO early
period in Egypt and Palestine. Many
of the other tablets are dispatches of
about the same date from projects Of
other cities of Palestine to the Pharaoh
Some of the inscriptions are in an un-
known language, which no one has so
far been able to translate. Solomon
himself would have looked upon these
tablets rs remote antiquities.

SOMETHING SOUR NEEDED.

A Place Found for the Church Fault.
Finders Well Suited to Them.
There is class of persons in the COM
mnnity whose usefulness we have just
found out. We never realized until now
what they were made for. They are
struck through with acidity. Their dis
position is celebrated for its Grabbed
ness. You find them in every circle.
They are especially known in churches
as fault-finders. Their teeth are al
ways on edge. They are critical Of
minister, eldership and choir. What
ever is done, they act as though they
could have done it better You some
times feel like suggesting to them
the propriety of going to some
other church, or retiring into
a less conspicuous position. You look
upon them as nuisance and hindrance.
Stop! You are wrong. They have their
practical uses. Church life, if happily
conducted, is banquet at which the
sweet predominates. There is the sugar
of helpful words, and the saccharine of
genial association. The banquet Is IN
danger of becoming fiat and insipid.
There ought to be at least one vinegar
cruet in the castor. You need to give
variety to the feast. You do not more
need spices than pickles. Now you
know the use to which some people can
be put. Do not cast them out. DO not
let them be the means of evaporation.
Employ them at the church banquet.
Tarts are good in their place. Brethren.

ANTIQUE CT .sOSiTiES.
The Strange Relics of Two Old-Tlme
Churches.

AhO AAchSb VI A"o VIM AsAAG
Churches.
There isoa curious legend regarding
an altar in little church in the village
of St. Hilary, on the island of Anglesea.
The central panel of the oak support Of
this altar has been lost for many years
so long. in fact, that not even the
''oldest inhabitant" can give the date
of its disappearance. The opening is
hardly foot wide and the altar itself
is also very diminntive. not exceeding
sixteen inches in width. The belief is
that anyone who can get in under the
altar through this opening, turn
around and come out will thus gain a
twelve months lease of life. So many
persons having implicit faith in this
superstition have endeavored thus to
lengthen their days that the under
side of the altar has become highly pol
ished by the contact of their heads and
shoulders.
Another curiosity in the same church
is a pair of peculiarly shaped tongs or
pinchers, on which are inscribed the
names of the churchwardens, together
with the dates at which they served.
These show that this article of furni-
ture was in use upward of two hundred
years ago. 1t was employed to catch
dogs who inadvertently strayed into the
church during service. and as it is very
large and strongly-made was capable
of giving the unfortunate CANNES a se-
we're pinch which they were not at all
likely to forget in "A hurry. 1t must
have been very edifying spectacle 70
see a pompous churchwarden capturing
a dog in this manner and conveying
him at arms length down the aisle un-
til he reached the door, where his dog
ship was unceremoniously tossed out
to reflect on his audacity in thus dis
turbing the sanctity of the chapel De-

Finyer-Na1l Polishing.

There are encouraging signs that the
craze for fnger-nail polishing is in q
fair way of abatement. do not know
exactly what instinct of barbarity led
one-half of New York to start in on a
rabid career of dissipation in the matter
of nail-polishing year or SO ago, but
whatever it was its sway no longer eX-
lists. 1t is bad enough to be waited on
in shop by young woman whose fin-
gers are stained to the knuclle-joints
with what looks like crimson ink, and
to encounter on all sides maroon finger
nails. which have been butchered and
polished and wrought upon until they
look like anything but human. These
things are easily enough forgiven in
women, however. The rub comes with
the presence of lordly and corpulent
men who walk into a public billiard
room or cafe and laboriously display
huge knotted fists and stubby fingers,
the nails of which are artificially col
ored. A mans hand, as Il rule, is a
grewsome thing at best, but when his
finger nails are doctored the incongruity
approaches the grotesque.- !. Re
