Beds of All Nations.

In the tropics men sleep in l,ammocks
or upon mats of grass. The East Indian
unrolls his light portable clarpoy or mat
trcss, which in the morning is again
rolled together and carried away by him.
The Japanese lie upon mating with a
stiff, uncomfortable wooden neck rest.
The Chinese use low bedsteads. often
deliberately carved, and supporting only
mats or covcrlids.
A popularity of the German bed is its
shortness; besides that it frequently
consists in sort of large down pillow or
upper mattress, which spreads over tho
person and usually answers the purpose
Of al! other bed clothing combined.
In England the old four-posted bed
stead is the pride of the nation; but the
iron or brass bedstcad is fast becoming
universal. The English beds are the
largest beds in the world.
The ancient Greeks or Romans had
their bed supported ON frames, but not
flat like ours.
The Egyptians had q couch of pccu-
liar shape, more like an old-fashioned
easy chair with hollow back and seat.

Ciloctaw Executions.

The Choctaws are famous for their
style of executing criminals. They shoot
murdercrs, and thieves, too. aftcrthc third
theft. Under the primitive Choctaw
rules, when man had been sentenced
to death, he was turned over to his
friends, who gave bond for him. The
condemned man went about his usual
business, settled up his affairs, and on
the day set for execution came to town,
bought coffin, and took it to the court
ground where the sheriff and the shcritf's
men awaited him. Then if the man about
to die was right ncrvy, he tried his coffin
to see if it would fit, arose and crowcd,
to let his friends know that he was not
afraid. A chalk mark was made over
the .man's heart, he knelt on blanket
before his coffin, and the sheriir's depu-
ties made an end of his life with their
rifles. This honorable style of execution
has fallen into disreputc though since
the Chocl;lws have become learned in the
civilized ways of the white men. The
last two or three condemned men they
turned loose never came back. Ihey put
them in Jail now pending the shooting.

HUNTING MOUNTAIN LIONS.
a Game Worthy of the Efforts of Brave
HuntSIncn,

There is one animal that | prefer to
hunt above all others, and that is the
mountain lion. wish my readers could
sce the marvellous leaps made by this
huge mountain cat when hard pressed by
II good pack OF hounds. Nothing short
of a good pack can run him: thirty and
forty feet he makes at bound, rising
like winged creature high above the
greascwood and chappaml; ground scent
Tor the dogs is barely left, so daintily
does he alight: the hounds must use the
slightly tainted air for their guido. ltis
IL wcll-known fact that the mountain
lion stands in the greatest terror of dogs.
When chased by them he will first try to
outrun them; failing in this, he will take
to the nearest tree But when there is
no tree of refuge, and the lion comes to
bay, then look out! One stroke of the
powerful paw means dead dog, and un-
less the hunter comes to the rescue with
rifle or revolver, the savage brute will
slaughter the whole pack in detail.
Should lie succeed in killing all the dogs
he will Immediately turn his attention to
the most insignificant OF the pursucrs.
A party whom know very we'll met
with u terrible adventure while hunting
the mountain lion. The animal came to
bay on the top of pile of rocks, far up
OH the mountain side. As matter Of
course, the dogs arrived there long be-
fore the hunter, and wishing to get as
near as possible to the game, they
crowded onto small bluff that pro-
jected above the lions position, and from
there baycd and growled at the quarry.
The hunter, meantime, worked his way
up until he arrived, say, within thirty
feet of the spot. Here he stopped and
was looking around for q place from
whence he could shoot the lion dead
without cndangcring the dogs, when,
with shrill scream that went eclloing up
the canyon, the big cat sprang upon him,
threw him backward, and, placing it's
huge paws on either arm, literally pinned
him to the ground, giving him no Chance
whatever to draw knife or pistol. The
lion all this time was growing and
screaming fury. So near were the vel
low fangs to the hunters face that the
froth dripping from the beasts mouth
nearly blinded the PROSTATE man. The
hounds, for some reason, perhaps on ac-
count of the thick brush, did not see
that the lion had pounccd on their mas
ter; so, instead Of goirg to the rescue,
as they always do, they, with the exccp-
tion Of one old dog, veercd to one side
and ran quito little distance on the
