Close Shave with a Leopard.

thing in the gap, as we could not tell
where the dogs or the leopard had got
to. l heard slight rustic below, wheth-
er in the bush or on the ledge L could
not tell, and there was no time TO find
out, for with a rush and a bound the
leopard threw himself against the
krantz, clutching at the grass roots on
top with the claws Of one fore paw-the
other was broken just above the wrist
and / could hear his hind claws scrap
ing ON the rocks in his endeavors to
scramble up. / knew that he was very
close to me. His great blood smeared
paws were within six feet, and l could
see his wicked yellow eyes glaring saw
agely and the saliva, red tinged, drop
ping from the cleaning tusks.
As Nogwaja ran in with uplifted as
segai / fred down into the brute's
mouth, and with savage gasp he fell
down on to the ledge below. The plucky
Swat, without waiting to see if he was
dead, jumped down on top Of him and
gave him final thrust with his assegai
ere life had sped. Kirby.

Far in advance of any other nation in
the number Of the Moslems under its
rule is Great Britain. In India alone
there are about 60. 200, 900 Mohamme-
dams, and they outnumber all the SUBJ
jects of the sultan more than two to
one. Besides, England rules Mohamme-
dams in other parts of her vast empire,
though not many in any one place The
queen is the sovereign of many millions
more Moslems than Christians.
China is believed to come next as a
country inhabited by many followers Of
the prophet The number of Mohamme-
dams in the Chinese empire is estimated
all the way from 30, 900, 900 to 90, 000,-
900, and the smallest of the guesses is
more than Turkey can match. Holland
also has nearly or quite 30. 900, 900 Mos
lem subjects in her populous and rich
East Indian possessions Java has fully
$4,000, 900 people, and nearly all OF
them are Mohammedans.
The Turkish empire is supposed to
contain about 23,000,00 Moslems,
counting the portion of Arabia in which
the authority of the sultan is not very
we'll established and is in danger of be-
ing destroyed at any time. Therefore it
is apparent that unless great error has
been made in estimating the number Of
Mohammedans in the Chinese empire
the sultan is only fourth among rulers
of great bodies of men and women who
believe in Mohammed
But among other countries which are
dominated by the Moslem element of
their population and are under the sway
of Mohammedan ruler the Turkish en-
pire is easily first in numbers and in
power for evil. Cleveland Leader.

The Danger Of Silence.

dence, which was all on my side.
The judge asked the counsel whether
they wished to argue the case, stating
that he hardly thought it necessary to
submit it in so plain matter. The law
yers agreed to submit it without argu-
ment. The jury went out and immedi
ately returned with verdict for the de-
PENDANT.
As soon as the court adjourned

sense they came TO render such YER

customers who lived in the rustic regions

solved. A burly young farmer drove up
to the store, tied up his oxen and stalked
into my Office.

tie fondness for that journal in spite of
personal friendships which might have
been expected to soften his view Of the
question. The paper was still to him a
