His Goodness Secures for Him Some Noble
Game.
Among savages, as among civilized
people, there seems to be all grades of
courage and cowardice. Mr.. Montague,
in his Tales of Nomad,' after re-
counting some examples Of ''Kafir eau
tion," hastens to add that he has
known Kafrs to do exceedingly bold
things"
A Kafir lad of about sixteen years
came TO our camp and begged to be al
lowed to hunt for us. was rather
loath to accept his aid, but as he was
almost fearful in his anxiety to be al
lowed to carry . gun, / lent him the
only one left IN camp-a single-bar-
relied smooth-bore.
He was delighted, and went away
with a small boy for companion. He
managed to kill buffalo somehow just
at shutdown, and there being no time
to skin 1t before dark, he encamped be-
side the carcass. He lit a fire and lay
down to sleep.
During the night he was awakened
by the boy pulling at his arm. On
waking up he saw by the light of the
fire that two lions were feeding on the
carcass, which was within ten yards of
the fire.
He quietly made up the fire, and
compelled the boy, who was quaking
with fear, to hold up lighted torch so
that he could see the sights of his gun,
and sitting down to take steady shot,
put a ball through the head of the
male lion, killing him stone dead
The honess roared and sprang away,
but seeing that her mate remained
there, in about ten minutes she re-
turned, on which the young fellow shot
her in a similar manner.

Strange Burial Rites of Natives In the
Land of the Bread Fruit.
During wars the unburied dead caused
a great deal of anxiety and distress to
their relatives, who imagined they
could hear the spirits of the warriors
constantly crying to them: "Coldl
Cold! Oh, am so coldr' AS it was inn
possible to bury the real body, they
imagined the spirits assumed material
shape, or could be obtained in some
tangible form, and funeral ceremonies
held over them. About dusk, says Out
ing, the friends and relatives as
sembled where the warrior was sup
posed to have fallen. Spreading
cloth on the ground, one would pray to
some family god, asking to obtain
quickly and without trouble the spirit
of the fallen one. Whatever happened
to alight or crawl on the cloth was
considered to be the spirit. If nothing
appeared some other member of the
family would pray, giving place in
turn to some one else. This was con-
tinued until something would alight
on the cloth. Whatever IL proved to
be-ant, moth or worm-was carefully
wrapped up in the cloth, taken home,
and buried with all the honors and
ceremony due the real body of the

The Henpecked Husbands Revolt and Oath
After Ten Years Servitude.
The strange sight of respectfully
dressed man kneeling at the base of
Lincolns statue attracted the attention
of park guard the other evening at
the foot of Lemon hill, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. Stealthily concealing
himself behind some sArubbery the
guard waited for the outcome of the
strange scene being enacted before
him. The strangers hands were folded
across his breast and the electric
light revealed a tear-stained face, up
turned as if pleading for some favor
from the bronze form of the great man
that lowered above him. His words
We're muttered IN a meek voice and
were unintelligible to the ears of the
astonished guard. After remaining
on his knees for few moments the
man arose and started toward the boat
houses. Hold on there" shouted the
guard, as he rushed out of the shrub
berry and grabbed the meek-loolxing
stranger.
Have you been putting dynamite
under that statue?' The man said
nothing, but looked crest-fallen and
annoyed.
Come. now, tell me your business
or I'll run you over TO the Sedgely
guardhouse.

gether, draw across to the opposite
thread back around the first thread to
the middle of the space; then catch to
the joining of the daisies at one side,
twist back to the center and catch
across to the remaining joining. Con-
tinue in this manner, catching be-
tween each thread already described
and twisting back to the center; from
the last or eighth space run the thread
over and under around the threads
where they cross about eight times, or
until a sufficiently large center has
been formed. Fasten the thread un-
derneath and twist it out to the start
ing point over the thread which has
here, of necessity, been left single.
When these spider stitches have been
completed, the body of the article is
finished. An appropriate edge may be
made of lace, or plain border may be
added by a fold of muslin caught to
the edges of the daisies, and a half
spider stitch added in the spaces. This
will have much the same effect as a
hem with drawn work. and while sim
pie and inexpensive is, at the same
time, desirable and tasteful finish.

BIRD TOILETS.
Peculiar Habits of the Feathered Deni-
zens of Wood and Field.

Peculiar Habits of the Feathered Deni-
zens of Wood and Field.
The feathered tribes have many Pc
cHliar ways and fancies about the de-
tails of their toilets. Some birds use
water only, some water and dust, while
others prefer dust and no water. Birds
are not only exceedingly nice in tn cir
choice of bath water, but also very
particular about the quality of their
toilet dust" Wild ducks, though
feeding by salt water. prefer TO battle
in fresh water pools, and will fly long
distances inland to running brooks
and ponds, where they preen and dress
their feathers in the early hours of the
morning. Sparrows battle often, both
in water and in dust. They are not so
particular about the quality of the wa
ter as about the quality of the dust.
They prefer clean water, but | have
seen them take bath in shallow pools
that were quite muddy. The city spar
row must take water bath where he
can get tin the streets or on the tops
of houses-but he is most careful in his
choice of his dust bath. Road dust,
the dryest and finest possible, suits
him best. have noticed the city spar
row taking his dust bath in the street.
and invariably he chooses a place
where the dust is like powder. Part
ridges prefer dry loan. They like to
scratch out the soil from under the
grass and fill their feathers with cool
earth. Most birds are fond OF burnt
ashes. Some early morning take

over and zee the number of winged
creatures that rise suddenly from the

Meat for Ynnnr Chilaren.

Concerning the frequency with which
meat may properly be given to chill
dren, says DR. Flint, and regarding the
time of day best suited to its admins
tration opinions differ widely. The
writer believes, on the basis of his
own experience, that children under
five years do best with only one meat
meal per diem, this being best given
in the morning or at noon. After five
years. both the breakfast and the mid
day meal may include some meat. An
ideal dietetic schedule, however, for
most children, would embrace eggs at
breakfast, meat at noon, and bread
and milk at night, appropriate cerea Is
being supplied with the eggs and meat.
All meats for children should be care
fully cut into little pieces, and children
old enough to cut their own meat
should be cautioned to make the pieces
as small as possible

Dreams and sound slcen.

When a student asked the great Prof.
Marine if dreams were "a sign of any
thing" he replied: Yes, sign that
the dreamer was only about half
asleep, when some vague ideas fitted
through his brain An opinion ex-
actly contrary to the above was once
expressed by Dr. Tanner, the faster.
When asked if he had not dreamed Of
feasts during his long fast he replied:
THE fact is, did not dream at all,
simply because had no sound sleep
during the ordeal. ! was sorry for
that, because had hoped to make
psychological study of myself
My sleep was so disturbed and broken
by those constantly around me that
had no opportunity for dreams" Whose
theory respecting the dream condition
Is correct, Marines or Tanners?

How very uncertain the docilitv of
an elephant may be and how revenge
may be substituted for that quality
was illustrated in an event that is fresh
In my mind, says Blackwood's Maya
zine. A manhout tried to drive his
elephant into the center of a newly
excavated tank. The elephant found
out with his trunk that hole of some
depth was just below it and would not
move. The mahout persisted and urged
the recaleitrant elephant with the iron
goad (the gujbag), and after a short
conflict the elephant seized the mahout
with his trunk, dragged him off his
seat on his neck and, placing him be-
low his forefeet, trampled the life out
of him.
The animal had some reason for be-
ing annoyed by its driver, but there is
nothing to be said in extenuation of

docile and intelligent creature butted
me into the air, no doubt with a be-

sistance to the tusk and by the blunt
ness of that weapon.
