Mr.. f. c. Selous, the great African
hunter, in one night killed three lions.
Two had been shot. AID Selous and his
native servant had gone to bed in their
hut, when another lion began to sniff
around the frail shelter. 1t was so
dark that nothing could be seen, but
instant action was necessary, as the
lion might any moment force an en-

the muzzle of my rife between the

the stock on the ground, pulled the
trigger. Once more, and for the third
time that night, the report of the rifle
was answered by the most terrific
roars it is possible to conceive, uttered
as they were within six feet of our
ears" Then the hunter returned to
his couch and slept calmly till morn

Prodigious Fecundity OF an Insect Whicl
Feeds on the Plant Kingdom.

ProdigiOus Fecundity OF an Insect Which
Feeds on the Plant Kingdom.
The aphis, which is known by the
common name of plant louise" is an
chronological enigma as well as an
agricultural pest. The scientists do not
pretent to know just exactly how many
varieties of aphis browse on the green
things of nature, but some authorities
estimate them them at 1000, large
proportion of that number hay ing been
named and classified. A single insect
of any of these species of aphis may be-
come the proGenitor of billions of
young, even during its own lifetime.
Latrielle, who is regarded by the st.
Louis Republic as an acknowledged
authority on this branch of entomol-
ogy. makes some curious and interest
ing calculations: A female will pro-
daee young at abe rate of about TWEEN
ty-five a day during the summer
months, and as each Immediately be-
comes the progenitor of others, one
aphis may possibly be the mother,
grandmother, Observation-Disclosures. etc,
ct al. of the enormous number of $780,
500, 600 individuals by the end of the
season. Yongard aud Morren, who are
equally as good authorities as Lat
rielle, extend this number into quin-
tillions as being within the capabili-
ties of single mothers efforts The
late Prof Huxley once made a calcula-
| ton which affords some idea of what a
quintillion of aphides might mean: AS
suming that an aphis will not weigh
more than the one-thousandth part of
grain, and that man must be very
heavy in order to weigh more than
| 2,000 600 grains, the tenth brood of APP
hides alone, without adding the prod

Sticklers for the incest proprieties

too much in evidence there, says the
New York Sun. They are like the
pretty hands of the tavern hostess
whom poor Gerard met in Charles
Reade's ''Cloister and the Hearth. y
Her hands were forever flying about
like excited white pigeons. The chief
Justices hands are also like the arms
of the angelic actress with whom Ar
thur Pendennis fell in love when he
was boy. Her arms were so continu-
ally exposed, says Thackeray, that she
could only be seen through them, as it
were. Chief Justice Fuller's long,
nervous, thin, white hands are forever
pulling his long mustachios or hover
ing about his nose, and if anything
could upset the dignity of that high
court it would be those hands that
would do it. Our New York lawyers
find the court most interesting in its
contrast WIN our own courts. ne
other day a great light of the bar was
arguing a very serious case before the
almost full bench when Mr.. Justice
Field Interrupted him, called him by
his surname without taking the trouble
to prefix the word Mister and then
cracked a little joke with him in the
most free and easy way. 1t was as if

During the Georgia campaign, and

to accompany him to hill in front of
the lines which commanded an excel

they stood upon this eminence offered
a tempting mark for some federal gun

tunes of war had brought together a
most distinguished churchman and one
of the bravest and most trusted of For

not at the time noted for extreme piety,
but was rather given to the use of vig-
orous language and forcible explosives,
which fact the good bishop knew and
regretted; he also knew that his present
companion was one of the very best and
bravest men in the confederate service
