Lion and Horse.

II a lion and a strong horse were
to pull in opposite directions, the
horse would pull the lion backward
with comparative ease; but il lion
were hitched behind the horse and
facing in the same direction. and
were allowed to exert his strength in
backing, he could easily pull the
horse down upon his launches OF
drag him across the ring, so much
greater is his strength when exerted
backward from the hind legs than In
forward pulling.

Ducks and Geese.

Wild geese and wild ducks show
knowledge as to the resistance of the
atmosphere and sagacity in overcom-
ing it, When flocks of them have
to 60 long distances, they form tri-
angle to cleave the air more easily,
and the most courageous bird takes
position at the forward angle. As
this is very fatiguing post another
bird, ere long, takes the place of the
exhausted leader. Thus they place
their available strength at the SER
vice of the society.

Etiauettc of the Hand.

A lady never extends her hand to
man whose acquaintance she Is
making She may or may not shake
hands with lady who is introduced,
but she must not give her hand to a
strange man. A cultivated woman
will not shake hands with any man,
no matter how long acquainted with
him, unless she respects ard admires
him. A gentlemen never extends
his hand to a lady first. To do so
would be presumItuous, and subject
him to snubbing. A man shows
his breeding the way he eats his din
ner; a woman shows her breeding
THE way she recei es people.

The Football PLAYER

The football player is not pleasant to
look upon. He has not the agreeable
outward seeming of the trained boxer,
stripped to the waist, his neither limbs
incased In tights, his body gracefully
posed for attack or defense He suf-
fers by comparison with the baseball
player, whose tasteful uniform sets off
his athletic figure. He is at disad-
vantage even IN competition with the
humpbacked bicycle rider, who is GER
tainly not a thing Of beauty His
whole appearance is against him. He
looks like bundle Of old clothes topped
off with a window mop. His counte-
nance is SCARED and abradej, his ex-
preston stolid and forbidding. His
manoeuvres, too, are of the earth
earthly. He wallows in mud; he thrash
es around with his heels. He leaps
into the air only to fall, writhing and
twisted, upon other members of his
tribe, also writhing and twisting, until
the piled up mass looks like a knot Of
gigantic angleworms. Yet he is the
idol of the hour, envied of the young
men, beloved Of the maidens, nightly
approved of the elders. His bushy
head is surrounded by nimbus; his
walks abroad are triumphal process
sions. Wherefore? What charm hath
he to steal away the hearts of men and
stick them In the pocket Of his sweat

How Tom McCarty Could Shoot.

For years Baker County was the
home of the notorious McCarty gang,
consisting Of Tom and Bill, brothers,
and Eek and Fred, sons Of Bill, and
numerous followers. Tom and Fred
were recently killed by Simpson, at
Delta, Col, after having robbed the
bank there Tom was a character in
his way. He had received his educa-
ton in the mining camps Of the Rocky
Mountains, and it was a recognized fact
that nobody could get the drop on him.
He could pull gun and I'LL a man
full of lead before the swiftest cow
boy in the country would be ready to
shoot AS trick shot he had no equal.
To an officer who called to arrest him
once he gave an exhibition of shooting
that made his hair fairly stand on end.
Placing the ace of clubs on the wall,
he stood at a distance Of thirty feet,
drew his revolver, twirled it around
his finger as rapidly as he could, and
rddled the ace with bullets. Not one
hit the white part of the card. Not
once did he touch the trigger, content
ing himself with pulling the hammer
back with his thumb and then letting
it go. Then he tossed his hat twenty
feet in the air and pierced it with six
bullets before it touched the ground

water with two cupfuls Of sugar and
boil a quarter of an hour. Beat the
yolks of four eggs to a froth, remove
the syrup from the fire, beat the eggs
into it. Return to the fire, heat again.

SOMETHING THAT GROWLED.

A Story Showing just What Should Be
Done With an Escaped Lion.
A circus train had been smashed up
at the junction, many of the cages had
been broken and their occupants had
had a chance to escape to the woods
and fields. While we were waiting for
the wrecking crew to clear the debris
away, an old darky with Il business
look about him approached the circus
manager and asked:

How Two Families Fell Ont.

biggest men in Chicago is Marshall
Field, and | knew he would be giving
away or would be willing to give away
before long S1,000,000 to some good
object, He is rather tall. slender
gentleman, and he is so quiet about
everything that you take him at a
glance to be person extraordinary in
some way. A Chicago friend tells me
that some piece Of generosity like this
gift of a million has been expected of
Marshall Field, and then he goes on
to ask:
Did you ever know how it was that
the Fields and the Letters happened to
fall out?"
He proceeds to say:
Mrs. Field was to be present at
some reception to be given by Mrs.
Letter, and she arrayed herself for
that evening in a gown Of great rich
ness and beauty, made out of brocaded
VelVet, perhaps-though don't under

pain Of losing caste with his fellows,

How long can the college faculties

make earnest protest against its longer
existence, played as it is at PRESENT.

Strange Fight on the Seine.

People passing along the Point des
Arts lately experienced the novel SEN
satiOn to be derived from the strange
spectacle of a fight for a corpse. The
combat was between four bargees, who
had observed what they call a mac
chabee or dead body floating on the
surface Of the Seine. Each man was
desirous of obtaining the reward Of
fered by the river board for bringing
the corpses of drowned persons to
shore. Three of the competitors We're
running towards the. water, throwing
off their clothing as they went, but
they were distanced and defeated by
the other man, who, without taking
the trouble to undress, jumped off the
parapet Of the bridge and seized the
corpse in mid-Stream His landing
was energetically opposed by the
others, who wanted to make him share
profits, but he steadfastly refused to
make any compromise in the matter,
as he desired to have the reward all
to himself. The possessor of the dole
full derelict was kept lodging about the
riverside for nearly a quarter Of an
hour, trying with might and main to
reach terra firma. At last two police
men went to his rescue, enabled him
to land and decided that he alone was
entitled to the premium due for the
capture Of the floating corpse-Paris

A Royal Rainmaker.

King LObengula has the reputation

he gives way to no man. l remember
one day in June-the month In the
whole year in which you least expect
rain-some natives had brought large
python into camp, and We're singing
some Of their rain songs. 1t is sudden
death to any native in Matabeleland
who, if he sees a python, does not by
some means or other manage to secure
1t and bring it in alive The King took
possession Of the reptile, and said he
must go and make rain / laughed at
this, and said | did not think he could
do so, to which the King replied: You
will see" The python was skinned
alive, its liver taken out and cooked,
and the usual rain-making rites per-
formed. Curiously enough, just before
Sundown the sky clouded over, and
soon afterwards one of the heaviest
thunderstorms l had ever seen broke
over the place. Next morning the
King asked me if q white man could
make thunderstorm like that? | said:

could guarantee you fortune Re
