BaIIooning with a Lion.
From the San Francisco Examiner.

young and attractive woman in Paris,
who is said to be a countess, proposes to
go from Marseilles to Paris in a balloon
with lion as her companion. She is what
they call in France a "dompteuse." this
translated into English meaning lady
lion tanner" and this extraordinary per-
formance is to be for the benefit Of the
sick soldiers who have survived the NADIA
gascar expedition.
1t is by no means certain, however. that
she will be able to make this unique trip.
A few nights ago she had a dangerous ad-
venture in her wild beast cage She had
scarcely closed the door when Tzar. the

sprang at her and clawed her in the breast
and arms. A panic ensued in the MENACE
RE, and a rush was made for the entrance.
but the brave countess stood her ground
unterrffied and managed to beat the lion
off. Then she Strengthened herself up and
made Tar go through his usual perform
ance. The panic was allayed and the spec
tators began to wildly applaud the cour-
ageous woman.
Undissuaded by this adventure she in

Indeed Remarkable coincidence
From the Westminster Gazette.


The story of what must, we imagine,
be record-breaking coincidence was told
in a recent case before the lord chief JUS
tice. A lady named Mrs. Spiiane, In
November, 1894, while standing in her
shop in the Commercial road was struck
in the left eye by a piece of flint from
the road, which was being picked up
by some workmen employed by Messrs
John Arid & Son. She accordingly brought
action for compensation. In the course
of the trial it turned out that in 1886 Mrs
Spillane received a similar injury under
similar circumstances, to the same eye,
through the action of Workmen employed
by the same firm and engaged in similar
work in the same neighborhood-an in
Jury for which at that time she received
f125. No wonder that the defendants,
when asked to pay in 1894, declined on The
ground that such a coincidence as was
said to have taken place was almost in
credible But this, though perfectly mar
ural as a matter of feeling hardly SUI
feed as an answer to the action for com
pensation. The coincidence, though to
Messrs Arid incredible, was believed in
by the jury, and the eye which in 1885
gave Mrs. Spillane f125 has in 1896 brought
her $50.
