FIGHT AMONG THREE LIONS.
A Fierce Fight Which Took Place Over
Wounded Buffalo.

Wounded Buffalo.
Youths Companion.I
1t is a common practice among lions to
hunt in company. A friend of mine in
South Africa had a peculiar example of
this. His friend v had wounded bull
buffalo, which had retreated within the for
est. The two hunters carefully followed
the blood-track, but q ter short advance
were started by succession of loud roars
which betokened lions close at hand.
There could be little doubt that the
wounded buffalo had been attacked There
fore. with proper precaution, they ap-
preached the SPOT until an exciting scene
presented itself suddenly on the other side
of large fallen tree. which happily con-
cealed the approach ofthe two hunters
Three lions were engaged in life-and-
death combat with the gallant old bull, who
made a desperate defense, first knocking
over one of his enemies, then goring an
other to the ground, and exhibiting a
strength which appeared sufficient to defeat
the combination.
Suddenly the buffalo fell dead. This was
the result of the original wound, as the rifle
bullet had passed through the lungs. The
lions were not aware of this, and began to
quarrel among themselves about their imag-
ined victory. One huge beast reared to
half its height and placed its fore-paws
upon the body of the PROSTATE buffalo,
while at the head and the headquarters an
angry lion clutched the dead body in its
spreading paws, and growled at the DOS.
SCISSOR of the center. This formed q grand
picture within only few yards distance,
but two rifle-shots stretched two lions roll
ing upon the ground, and the third bounded
into the thick covert and disappeared.

HOW ANCIENTs REGARDED RINGS,
Peculiar Ideas Entertained by People All
Over the World,

Peculiar Ideas Entertained by People All
Over the World.
Godey's Magazine.l
Once there was a peculiar significance
attached to rings. They were regarded as
a token of authority. The Emperor's sig
net-ring placed in the hands of an official
invested him, for the time, with his mas
ter's power.
Rings are first mentioned in the Bible in
Genesis, chapter Kill and 42nd verse:
And Pharoah took his ring from his hand
and put it on Joseph's hand, and made him
ruler over all Egypt.
When the Israelites conquered the Mid
ianites, they took all their rings and brace
lets and offered them to the Lord. Aha
suerus gave the ring from his hand to the
Hebrews worst enemy, thus giving him
unlimited control to do with them
and their property whatever he pleased.
The father received his prodigal son JOY
fully and sealed his forgiveness by putting
a ring on his hand. The Egyptians regarded
their rings both as business vouchers and as
ornaments, the signet-rings being always
used for sealing documents; and, however
used, their rings were always buried with
them, and in later years are often found in
their tombs
The signet-ring was usually of bronze or
silver, but among the rich gold rings were
used for ornaments. Ivory or blue porcelain
was worn by the poor. Plain gold rings,
engraved with some motto or the head of
their deities, were much priced and three or
four were often worn on the fingers and also
on the thumbs. Among the Hebrews no one
was in full dress without signet-ring, and
ladies had their rings set profisely with
costly gems rubies, emeralds and cbrysolites
being the most valuable.

An aged negress of great repute as "voo-
doo," or witch doctress, among the negroes
of the vicinity of Terre Bonne, La, is at
tracing much attention, and the way in
which she does this is to apparently swal-
low number of small snakes of a variety
unknown in this section. They are of q
dusky color. nearly black, pied with dull
green about the fat head, and of dirty
white in the belly. These reptiles remain
secreted about old Nance's cabin until she
gives peculiar whistling call, when they
will come to her, wriggling in great haste
over the floor, up her dress and run into her
open mouth, kissing hideously. They dis
appear and remain hidden sometimes for
minutes. She asserts that they are con-

''Mose" he has accumulated from S15, 900 to
$40, 900 selling papers. He has not
handled big routes where he could
distribute thousands of papers to other
newsboys in few moments, but has made
his money one cent at time, selling the
news TO readers. Each year the money was
invested in real estate and other securities
which now yield him handsome return
While on his vacation Louis Jacobs does
not look like the newsboy usually seen on
the street. He looks much more like
prosperous young business man, but when
he gets home he puts his good clothes
away, dons his hustlers, and with bundle
of papers strapped under his arm, rakes in
the nickels and pennies in good style.
In spite of their wealth, the Jacobs boys
have not decided to give up their news
paper business, so they can be seen every
day peddling their papers.s

SPORTING EVENTS FROM ALL POINTS

The great game between the A. A. A.
and P. A c. teams on Saturday continues
to command the entire attention of the foot
ball enthusiasts, and the indications are
that with fair weather there will be such
turnout as has never before been seen in
this city on such an occasion. Only one or
two of the boxes are lett unsold and the
space for taIlyhos and carriages is about
all gone. In response to general demand
it was decided to reserve 800 seats in the
grand stand, and these were placed quietly
on sale at Pratt's yesterday at noon. Be-
fore night it began to look as if 500 reserved
seats will not be enough for those who want
to engage their seats beforehand
1t is rumored that the P. a. C. boys in
tend to take an entire section of the re-
served seats for their lady friends, who
will display the colors of the team they
hope will win. And the blue and white
colors may also be punched together. The
?. A. c. s have engaged the biggest band
wagon in town and will drive from their
headquarters, the Monongahela House, and
take a position near the center of the field.
1t is estimated that there will be enough
lung power on this four-in-hand to make
the echoes ring, if occasion requires The
a. A. AS tallyho viii also be on hand,
near the center of the field, and there are
voices in the aggregation of musical talent
to be on board that will tear three-cornered
holes in the atmosphere, if the blue and
white wins
Nobody outside of the two captains and
managers knows Just how the teams will
line up. There are all sorts of rumors con-
cerning the men who are to play. Hints
that John L. Sullivan has consented to act
as the 2. A. c. s center rush and that
Heffelfnger, Homans. King and Fiscos
have applied for positions in the A. A. A. s
are flying around, and in fact so mysterious
an air has been thrown around the affair
that it is doubtful whether the teams will
be recognizable Manager Kountz saws
there won't be much change in the A. A.
A. IS line up, but rumor has it that one or
two Of the players are laid up and won't be
able to play. Valentine is alleged 10 have 4
carbuncle on his neck which he doesn't want
to have tackled, and Martin, of the p. A.
c. s, according to all accounts, has to wear
plasters to keep his pieces together. Some
of the other players are taking iron to
strengthen themselves for the fray, and the
rest are practicing against stone walls in
order to learn how to break through the
opposing rush line. 1t will be great game

The TYPICAL SOCIETY GIRL.

1t Requires Lot of Red Tape Before She
Can Make Fitting Debut
One is often ignorant of the existence of
young girls in the houses OF ones friends
until by chance they are revealed at matt
nee of the opera, sitting demurely in the
family box, or at their summer homes, on
horseback, or playing at tennis on the
lawn, writes Mrs. Burton Harrison in the
Ladies Home Journal
The dancing class, controlled BY bevy
of matrons who carefully select the names
sent out upon invitations to belong to it, is
her training ground for polite society. At
these classes, meeting in the afternoon
or evening once a week, the mothers sit
around the halls while the boys and
girls GO through the exact forms to be
observed in the ballroom of the future,
When the young person is ready to be
introduced into society, the mother, as
often as not, issues cards for q general after
noon reception of her friends Gowned in
simplest home dress, high at the throat and
of pure white, the debuntante stands be-
yond her mother at the chief entrance of
the drawing-room. Behind her piled upon
tables or the piano, is seen a veritable hec-
tacomb Of flowers sent in by friends to cell
ebrste the hour. Each guest, after speak
ing to the mother or chaperone, is then
mentioned by name to the debuntante, who
bows or curtsies as she has been taught to
do.
Later in the afternoon, when the crowd
thins out, the girl, surrounded by her par
ticular friends, displays her flowers, her
gown, her new ring or the string of pearls
presented by good papa A dinner fol-
lows, at which her mother presides and
around which the same young people assem-
bic. Here she is queen of the feast, and
amid flowers and lights and music and kind
words, no wonder that the vista of society
seems to be like fairy land. From that day
on she is rarely seen in public without her
parents, or one of them, or fitting substi-
tute.

BEETLES OF THE NILE.
Description of the Sacred Insects and Their
Many Symbols,

Description of the Sacred Insects and Their
Many Symbols,
St. Louis Republic.)
Scarabeus, "the god beetle of the lower
Nile" has been worshipei, petted and
feared by several benighted sects of Egypt
since the time when the mind and his
tory of man runneth not the contrary.
Like the other sacred creatures of idola-
trous countries, several mythical fancies
are woven around the chronological
rarity.
The number of its toes, 80, were supposed
to symbolic the average number of days in
month. On each new moon day it depos-
tied ball containing 800 eggs, which the
Egyptian priests assured their followers re-
ferred to the number of days in the year,
the brilliant golden color of the ball itself
personifying the sun. In ancient times
this curious BETTE was declared to be of
but one sex, the male, but modern inves-
tigation has exploded that one moth at
least.
In connection with the Egyptian nation,
the Gonstics, as we'll as some of the early
Christian fathers, Speak of Christ as the
scarabeus and symbolic him as man with
q beetles head. The Egyptians always en-
balmed this sacred insect.

them, when they will come pouring out to
writhe about her scraggy neck and coil in
her bosom.
Where the snakes really go when they
vanish in her mouth is a mystery, and has
puzz ed all the physicians about, many
having come from New Orleans to witness
the phenomenon. AS nearly as they can be
counted there are six or seven of these rep
tiles, though old Nance says there are many
more. They are probably of harmless
nature, though old Nance declares that they
are highly poisonous, and no one wishes to
experiment with them.

How to Remove Rotten stumns.

Rotting tree stumps may easily be re-
moved in this way: With a 11z-inch. auger
bore hole in the center of the stump about
is inches deep and put in 20 ounces of salt
petre, fill the hole with water and plug it
tight. In the spring take out the plug,
pour into the hole half-pint of crude Pc
troleum and set it on fire. The stump will
burn and shoulder to the end of the roots,
leaving nothing hut ashes
