rnunder MaNcs Beasts Nervous.

A lion-tamcr named Lorange, who
was giving an exhibition of his skill in
a wild beast show at Lavallois Perret
the other night, had very narrow
escape. The air at the time was
heavily laden with electricity, and the
animals were in consequence suilen
and morose. Lorangc entered the cage
nevertheless, but when he cndeavored
to put a lioness through her tricks tho
beast few at his throat. He succeeded
in beating her off, but she took q
second spring and fastened on his arm,
burying her teeth in his flesh. Sme.-
ing blood, the other lions became
irr.tated but LoraDgs succeeded in
keeping them at bay for few mo-
ments, during which he seized the
lioness' throat with his free hand and
released the other arm. He then beat
hasty retreat and was fortunate
enough to get out of the cage without
further injury.

AMATEUR PoiSONERS.
How They Get In Their Deadly Work In
India.

How They Get In Their Deadly Work In
India.
Favored by the great abundance OF
poisonous plants which grow wild
throughout the country, the crime OF
poisoning in India appears to be still
terribly common; but the strangest
feature in connection with it is the
frequency of instances of wanton de-
struction of human life by this in
sidious means.
In the new edition of Messrs. Gribble
and Hehirs well-known work on In
dian medical jurisprudence, case Is
cited of seventy men who were pol
soned at one time while drinking in
native liquor shop in Benares the in
toyicating spirit distilled from the
mhowra flower. Forty-three OF them
were conveyed to the hospital and
eighteen died outside. One of the SER
wants in the shop, who absconded,
confessed afterward that he had put
singhera into the pots in which the
mhowra flowers were stepped.
In another instance a young man
who had incurred the censure of his
family by his dissipated life proceeded
to poison them all. He purchased an
ounce Of aconite root, which he pound
ed on a brick, and then put the pow
der into the vegetable broth for his
brothers dinner. Four persons par
took of the broth, and were seizet
with the usual symptoms. The brother
died: two women of the family re
covered. 1t is stated that the evi
dence of the civil surgeon proved that
death was caused by aconitc, and thu
crime was brought home to the poi
soner. who was brought to justice
Dr.. Chevers gives n case from tn
northwestern provinces Police Gazett
of a man of 81, who confessed that b
hnd-so far as he could remember
poisoned twenty-seven persons. IL
