The Spokane Review tells OF the
strange meeting OF father and son on
the occasion Of the hanging of old
Bill Stebbins for the murder of his
second wife at Spokane. The murder
was atrocious, the people said, and
there were few glances OF sympathy
for the doomed man among the NOR

tains formal notice of the fact that he

LEOPARD AND PANTHER.

Curious Saperstitions Of the Natives oi
Bengal That Are CniverssL
DR.. kircher's theory regarding the
leopard was undoubtedly in accord

our best. but not best-known, natu-
ralists. writes thus in q book pub.

well known to the ancients, who had

present day and gives rise to fire.
quent discussions as to the supposed
difference between the panther. Or
pard, and the leopard. IL was
thought not to be actually the same
animal as the panther, or pard. but
to be mongrel or hybrid between
the male pard and the lioncss; hence
1t was called the lion-panther or
leopardus. This error. as Arch
bishop Trench tells, has lasted into
modern times. Thus Fuller says
that ieopards and mules are proper
~ no creatures.
In reality. however, the names
pard. panther and leopard have ref
erence to one and the same animal.
l believe that all scientific biologists
are Of the same opinion as Dr. Ander-
son, says q writer in Longman's
Magazine. But in India there are
some English spOrtsmen who still
imagine that there is a difference
between a panther and leopard. In
Madras and Bombay the animal Is
invariably called panther. The
Bengal presidency. in its military
jurisdiction. is SO extensive, reach
ing from the borders OF Afghanistan
TO the eastern limits of Assam. that
it would be unsafe topredict that the
name panther is not recognized in
any part of Bengal. but in the prov

leopard is almost invariably used by
English sportsmcn
