How 1t Feels to Have a Lion Bite You.
Mr.. Inverarity, a member of the Bonn
bay bar, says: $50 large an animal as
lion coming at full speed against you of
course knocks you off your legs. The
claws and teeth entering the flesh do
not hurt so much as you would think.
The only really painful part of the bust
ness is the squeeze given by the jaws on
the bone. l felt none of the dreamy
stupor Livingstone describes, but on the
contrary felt as usual. l adopted the
course Of lying quite still, which | be-
heve is the best thing one can do, IS
you are quite helpless with heavy ami
NAL on you, and they are inclined to
make grabs at everything that moves,
and the fewer bites you can get off with
the better.
"All the wounds are centers of infam-
nation and blood poisoning, and the
more you get the less chance you have.
The power of the lions jaws may be in
ferred from the fact that the ioness
that seized me, although it had q
broken Jaw, scored deep grooves in the
barrels of my rifle with her teeth acna
claw wounds were mere scratches,
which attribute to the fact that they
clutch at the surface of your coat, think
ing it is all solid underneath, and SO
reach tho flesh pretty late. In fact, my
coat was torn in some places without
any corresponding wound beneath.
'1never felt the slightestshock. Tigers
and panthers, as rule, Immediately
leave any one they seize in charge, but
this honess, having left me, went few
yards to roar at my men, returned, and
stood over me growing, and then bit
my arm. | got no bite the first go off,
as she was occupied in biting the rifle. "

FIFTY Kinds of Electric FISHES.

According to the statements of the
English naturalist, Professor Stirling,
there are in existence today upward of
fifty species of fishes having more or less
specialized organs. the function of which
is the generation of electric discharges.
The fishes differ widely, sometimes
strilxingly, from each other, belonging
mostly to different families, and oc-
casionally even to different orders Of the
Pisces" In structure they closely re-
senble the other species of the genera
to which they severally belong, differ
ing from them, with an occasional. ex-
ception, mainly in the possession Of Or
gans for electric generation.
The we'll known electric, rays" for
example, Of which Nicholson mentions
three and Gunther six, are the most
prominent. These rays areifound In the
Atlantic and Indian oceans and the
Mediterranean sea, and are seen in the
English channel, or even farther north;
while other electric fishes are still more
cosmopolitan, though most of them in
habit limited areas and warm waters. -

THE RIVAL mINsTRELs.

Haroun-al-Raschid loved his harem's maids;
He loved his gardens, with their winding
shades;
He loved to watch his crystal fountains play,
he loved his horses and his courtiers gay;
He loved all royal sports that please a king,
But most he loved to hear his minstrels sing.
And SO it happened that his fame had brought
Two rival singers to the caliph's court,
Who pleased him best, full well each minstrel
knew,
Would be proclaimed the greater of the two.
So well they pleased him that they found him
loath
To choose between them, for he loved them
both.
LET all the nation judge" at length said he;
who pleases best my people pleases me''
Through all the land the rival poets sung:
Their names and music were on every tongue,
Until at last they never reached door
Where Fame had not sung all their songs be-
fore.
Ben Olaf sang of deeds the caliph wrought,
The riches and the splendors of his court;
The mighty warriors every nation boasts,
And armies vanquished by the prophets hosts;
How lslam's valor was beloved and feared;
And when he finished. listening thousands
Mustapha's songs were all of simpler things
Forgotten was the pride of earthly kings,
He sang to them Of home and truth and love;
How Allah watched his children from above.
Close to their hearts the poets music crept;
And when he finished, all the people wept.
For though Ben Olaf charmed them with his
arts,
1t was Mustapha's songs that reached their
hearts.

''if we would exercise more magma

the accomplishment of some fixed object,

1t Needs No Guards.

The smallest, simplest and best pro-
tected postoffice in the world is in the
Straits of Magellan and has been there
for many years. 1t consists of a small
painted key or caslS, and is chained to
the rocks of the extreme cape in man
ner SO that it floats free, opposite Terra
del Fuego. Each passing ship sends a
boat to take letters out and put others
in. This curious postoffice is unprovided
with postmaster, and is therefore un-
der the protection of all the navies of
the world. Never in the history of this
unique "office" has its privilege been
abused. PHILADELPHIA Press.

Why are lyric and dramatic artists 30
fond OF animals and birds2 The ques-

never, as far as we know, satisfactorily
answered. Adelina Patti always travels

Sarah Bernhardt drags about a small
menagerie with her, and nearly every
singer and actress has canine pet Of
some sort.

Twenty-one specimens of fossil shells
nave been found in the vicinity Of Bos-
ton. Some of these fossils were found
in the Muddy river, on the border OF
Brookline; some have been found in the
dredging Of tho Charles river near the
Back Bay. Some of the oyster shells
are ten inches long. Other specimens
come from South Boston, midway be-
tween City Point and Castle island.
None of these are now existing north Of

Some NotabIa Wacers.

OF single bets made on American
horse races the following instances are
taken from the records: Haughton bet
Walton 81, 900 to 81 900 against Girofe.
Haughton, bet Kelly 100000 to 5000
against Henlopen. Appleby s. John
SON bet P. Lorillard $11, 900 to 10000
against Pixaro, and $4,000 to 5000
against Leo in the same race. In each
OF these cases It Is probable that the
owners risl<ed ten times these amounts
on each Of the races, as the bets above
stated were only made with one book

origin, or at least its principalstrength,
instheir own nervous apprehension that
they are or are about to be afflicted with
it. Any one of a dozen causes may in
duce wakefulness, and yet the person
lying in bed with the faculties alert at
the moment when they would naturally
be expected to be wrapped in slumber
has nine times out Of ten, or ninety-nine
times in a hundred, nothing serious to
apprehend. The stomach may not be in
quite its normal condition--and there Is
no more potent cause of wakefulness.
Now an hour - ten minutes even
seems a long time in the middle Of the
night, when a person wishes to be sleep
ing and cannot. IL a sensation of dread,
of apprehension, is allowed to enter the
mind, such a period simply becomes IN
terminable. The nervous apprehension
increases the difficulty, and feeding
upon itself the arrangement may quite
possibly increase till it becomes dan
gerous malady.-Good Housekeeping.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 20, 1892.

As was stated in this paper, in re-
ply TO an enquiring correspondent,
POstmaster-G General Hill has been
engaged some time negotiating for a
reduction in postage from this to GER
tain other countries, to the rate that
is charged on mail matter coming
here from the same countries. The
Postal Union rate was the same
both ways, with the exception that
each country had to pay its own
transit charges. Those other coun-
tries were able TO get cheaper
transit charges than this kingdom,
which accounted for double the rate
on matter hence to what was charged
on matter hither. 1t will be seen by
an official notice of the Postmaster
General that his efforts have been
successful so far as letters are con-
cerned. Another welcome advantage
gained is reduction in newspaper
postage to the United States, Canad;
and Mexico, from = cents TO ! cen
for two ounces. The 2-cent news
paper rate remains to other coun
tries

NEW HOTEL BUILDING.

Anybody going up Nuuanu Avenue
for the first time in four weeks, pro-
viding he thinks he knows the gen.
eral appearance along the sides of
that thoroughfare, will be startled by
an object that to-day bursts on the
gaze on approaching the first bridge.
A vast building whose foundations
had no place three weeks ago last
Monday rears glittering galvanized
roof against the sky. Mr.. John
Thomas Waterhouse this forenoon
invited BULLETIN representative for
drive up the avenue. The scribe
had been that way only few weeks
ago, and when the object in question
suddenly loomed up he exclaimed:
"What is this?"
ga hotel" was the sententious
reply.
Mr.. Warehouse alighted with eX-
traordinary spryness for man of his
venerable years, and the reporter
could no more than keep up with
him, as he went round to the rear
and up ladder. The new hotel is
nearly opposite the Eagle House,
which Mr.. Watefhouse built few
years ago and which now, under Mr.
L. Krouse's management, is doing q
good business. There are over 80
men employed in building the hotel,
which accounts for its rapid progress
in construction. The building is of
wood and consists of two stories,
basement and attic. 1t is 80 feet by
40 feet, with an foot veranda all
round, supported on graceful turned
pillars. On the street front and
town side wall Of strong masonry
has been built so as to leave a wide
passage between ii and the basement.
The hotel will be fitted up with the
latest sanitary and other improve
ments.
Adjacent to the new hotel on the
town side the proprietor will devote
large lot to a park for the pleasure
of guests of both hotels and incident
ally of the public. 1t will be planted
with ornamental trees and flowers,
also have band stand and other ad-
juncts of lelsurely comfort and en-
joyment.
Besides the hotel, Mr.. Waterhouse
has latel y put up several handsome
new dwelling houses. One large and
one small cottage facing on the ave-
nue. are of attractive modern designs,
the fancy work on the verandas being
both novel and tasteful. Smaller
houses on rear lots are of a palmer
model, but all are designed for the
maximum of convenience. Mr..
Warehouses; enterprise, in these
dull times for workingmen, is worthy
of all commentator.
