Race with Lions.

It was an odd and startling adven- ture that befell Rev. R. P. Ashe, a missionary in Africa, while touring on bicycle. He had got far in advance of his porters, and was spinning along at pretty good speed, with his eye on the path, when suddenly he heard a noise as of animals galloping beside him. True enough, on glancing to the right, he discovered three magnificent t lions keeping him company. They were twenty or thirty yards to one side, and kept along with him for per haps one hundred yards. Then they stopped, looked at him for a moment strange being he must have looked in their eyes-and bounded away at right angles, still stopping now and then to look back, till they disappeared in the long grass. - Philadelphia Record

GOO. The salaries to all presidential postmasters amounted to S5,s97,2 200. and the gross receipts of post offices $50, 53s,- O97 The number of presidential post. masters is 3,49l, of which l59 are first-class, TOO second class, 2,632 third class.

The total number of positions brought within the classi- fled service during the year were 9, 395.
 Mir. Jones recommends the abolition of experimental free delivery un- less SIC, 1000, 900 is appropriated for the purpose, also free rural delivery un. less O,000, os0 is appropriated.
 An estimate of SIP, ,96O, 300 is made for the free delivery service next year.
 The money order report shows that there are l9,69l domestic money order offices and orders to the amount of Si56, 7O9 OS9 were issued and Sl5G, l59, ,Gs9 paid. Mir. Jones recommends legisla- tion requiring clerks handling money order business to give bonds.

Found Fault with Hamlet.

There is an old, a very old, tale told of venerable lady, who, after seeing the play of Hamlet" for the first time. said: Tt is a very good play, as plays go, but it is made up of quotations '' This good dame, although she was probably unaware of it, was acknowl. edging in a rounda bout way, perhaps, the indebtedness of our language to our national bard; phrases, sentences, and sometimes whole lines from his writings, have been crystallized. as it were, into colloquial English, and there are probably more quotations drawn from the works of Shakespeare than from those of any other author. ancient or modern.

To the uninstructed mind, it may smack of absurdity to say that at no distant day the bacteria of butter and cheese will be cultivated as we now cultivate any other commercial prod ucts. A writer on this subject says: '"The fermentation of cream and cheese is already as much of an art as the fermentation of malt in the manu- facture of beer. In the curing of to- bacco the same activity is discovered, and the day is not far distant when commerce in highbred tobacco bacteria will be an established fact In short, we may look forward to the day when the bacteria active in agriculture will be carefully cultivated, and the bac- terial herd book will be found along with those of the Jersey COW and the Norman horse" On par with this is the sterilization of products, which process is necessary before the thor oughbred bacteria is introduced.-N Y.

An enthusiastic Philadelphia anna. teur photographer caught a capital snap shot while at Asbury park, show ing man who was pitched out of a row boat just as it was being beached with a party from a yacht.

One of the group related that while at Asbury park he had had a queer adventure while coming in shore from yacht The amateur had the photograph in question with him and thereupon produced it. picturing the very occurrence of which the participant was telling.

Four Men Killed from Q BlOw-Up on the l Lehigh & Hudson Railroad

| F0ur mon Killed from BIOw-Up on th< l Lshigh H Hudson Railroad WARWICK, N. Y., Nov. il.-Engint
 No. l3, of the Lehigh & Hudson rail
 road, blew up yesterday morning neal this place. Two men were instantly
 killed and two others died later from
 their injuries. The engine was draw
 ing a train between Maybrook and Phillipsbnrg. Conductor Martin
 ONeilL of Belvidere, and his head
 brakeman, James L. Sloan, of Phillips.
 burg, were in the cab when the train started for the junction with Engineer William Cooper, of Phillipsburg, and his fireman, Herbert Beetner, of Easton, Pa. A train of forty cars had reached the top of the grade near the stone bridge, and as the train started down cold water was doubtless run into the boiler
 Brakeman Morris Heil saw the explo. sion that followed. The heavy boiler went 50 feet in the air and fell 25 feet from the tracks, leaving the engine trucks uninjured Heil threw himself full length on car and clung there. He recovered himself and he and Flag man Adams began setting brakes. The train ran a mile and q half before it could be stopped. Hell ran miles to Warwick and gave the alarm and Adams went back to flag the eastern express.
 Superintendent Bailey, with a gang of men, went in an engine to the scene. A terrible sight met the rescuers. Con- ductor O'Neil was crushed and muti- lated almost beyond recognition, the train having passed over him. Sloan hung unconscious on q barbed wire fence and Engineer Cooper lay dead under the boiler. All were nearly naked, parts of their clothing hanging in the trees near by. A little later Fireman Beetner was seen walking along the tracks, his trousers being his only apparel. He was dazed and said he remembered going through the air and found himself in field 50 feet from the tracks. He soon relapsed in. to unconsciousncss and was taken to Easton, where he died in the afternoon. Brakeman Sloan died here yesterday mOrninr
