HYPNOTIZING LEOPARDS IN MEXICO.
Chicago Herald
"What is the most novel experience
you ever had in Mexico?" was asked of
Judge Masterson at the Leland last
evening.
Hunting the pumas or spotted leop-
ards" was the reply, and he related the
following: about month ago we were
in the southern part of the State
of Chiapas, which borders on Cen
tral America. One day a party was
gotten up to hunt the spotted leopards.
We left the hacienda at sunrise with a
pack of thirty dogs, not the American
hunting dog, but those little hairless
Mexican animals that you see in the
streets of this city once in awhile. AS
we rode away 1 asked the guides where
the guns were. He said we needed no
guns, and we rode on. After going a
few miles we reached the celebrated
ruins of Palcuque.
There the dogs began to prick up
their ears and dash away. After short
run they freed one of the finest pumas
have ever seen. 1t was an immense
animal, and, as he swung to and fro on
limb of tree, his picturesque coat
shining in the suns rays, 1 could only
think of study for an artist. The dogs
encircled the tree and began to bark
How they did yell and how'll 1t was
the queerest, weirdest sound l had ever
heard. Standing still and looking up
at the beautiful prisoner, these trained
dogs howled like demons.
"Soon l saw the effect. The leopard
walked out to the end of the limb and
gazed fxedly at the dogs below. He did
not appear frightened but charmed. And
he was. The leopard had been hypnO-
tized by the dogs. The spotted beast
acted like sleep-walker, and if he had
not been under spell he would have
fallen from the dangerous position that
he had taken on the tree.
"When he was declared to be thor
oughly hypnotized one of our guides
went up the tree and fastened little
rope around the leopard's neck. The
guide patted the dangerous animal as he
would his pony, and the beast did not
notice it in the least. The man came
down the tree and we called off the dogs.
Then the leopard came out of the trance
with sudden start, and attempted to
jump away from the little grass rope on
his neck. He fell downward and was
hanged to death.
..In this manner we got six leopards
IOE &c, aF OF
sports in Mexico, and it is rapidly tax
ing the place of the bull fights. The
animals captured in this way are valua
BILE, too, for their skins are not pierced
with bullet holes or SCARED with knives"

A BOY stood on the burning deck,
Unwisely, too, t is said,
For, with the first approaching flame,
His elders quickly fled.
SO, many now in peril stand,
Unmindful of their fate,
Till, step by step, Grim Death comes on
And then, alas too late!
For wiser, surely, would it seem,

THE August Scribner'S Magazine is a
"Fiction Number" and contains five
complete short stories. -Four of the
stories are illustrated, each by an artist
chosen for his skill in delineating the
special characters and incidents which
are the features of the tale. This
number also contains long opening
instalment of the new serial, ''The
Wrecker," by Robert Louis Stevenson
and Lloyd Osbourne. The leading
character is an American, and the story
is one in which scene and action will
strongly appeal to American readers.

Street "Piccadilly," by Andrew
Lang, with many characteristic illutra-
tions. A final article by by Prof. John

An entirely new parrot story is going
the rounds, and is being told at the ex-
pense of an uptown minister. The
reverend gentleman having intimated
some time ago to friend that he would
like to have a nice parrot, the friend
procured one for him. Everything went
along smoothly for awhile until the bird
became accustomed to his new home
Then the parrots tongue became loos-
ened, and he began to swear most abom-
inably, much to the horror of the cler-
gyman. The latter Immediately sought
his friend and told him of the birds
grievous fault The friend suggested
as a remedy that the clergyman swing
the birds cage very rapidly through the
air several times. "That would settle
him." he said. The next time the bird
offended, the minister did as directed;
then, setting the cage down again,
awaited the result. The parrot looked
surprised for a minute, then said
s'WheW- What a -

Mrs. +. .Eovett Cameron contributes
the complete novel to the August num-
Der of Lippincotts Magazine. 1t is an

very exciting climax. "Walt Whit

count, taken from stenographic notes,
of a dinner which was rendered to

The frontispiece in st. NjchOlas for
