A number of sportsmen were re-

had had duck shooting last fall, when

adventure was related by every one in

Of you young fellows ever ran across a
mountain lion, as they are becoming
rather scarce now in the west But
early in the sos, when | first went TO
Colorado to hunt for gold, these ami
mails were quite numerous. I recall
on one occasion having a little adyen-
ture with lion that almost scared NE
out of my wits. With a partner | was
working a claim in the mountains near
Ouray and one day before the very
cold weather of the winter set in we
both went to town to get some supplies,
leaving our little cabin on the noun
tain side alone 1t came on to snow so
hard soon after we arrived in Ouray
that We did not get a chance to return
to our claim for three days. On our re-
turn journey We noticed as We were
climbing the hills the tracks of noun
tain lion leading to our cabin. Present
ly, however, as We got nearer and near
er to our little home, We lost the track
of the animal, and the sight of an open
window, which had been carefully
closed on our departure for town, caus-
ed us to forget all about the lion and
It's presence. Well, 1 had reached the
window and was just about to put my
head into the apartment when there
came terrible growl and the next in
slant great yellow body sprang
through the opening right on my back,
its claws catching my buckskin coat
and ripping it open to the waist, turn
ing me completely over and into the
snow. My partner took the dangerous
situation in at a glance and whipped
out his gun. Then the Internal lion
turned on him, making a fearful leap
in his direction. Before he could fire
the Infatuated beast was upon him and,
Selling him by the slack of his coat,
shook him as though he were but a
rat. l was on my feet by this time,
and, drawing my revolver. | sneaked
up and put a bullet right through his
head The animal groaned and fell
back dead and my partner drew his
breath freely once more. It was close
call, but neither of us was hurt, and
the lions skin in another week was
serving as a rug at the foot Of my
bunk"

THOSE WHO WRITE.

The title of Mr.. George Moore's new
novel is Evelyn Innes."
Mr.. Henry Savage Lander is said to
have received sos, 1000 as an advance on
royalties for his book recounting his
attempt to penetrate into the sacred
city of Thibet
Mr.. Henry 3. Fuller, whose novels
have found and charmed a large circle
of the best readers, has nearly ready
for publication book containing four
stories of transatlantic travel. to
which he gives the fitting title From
the Other Side"
1t is understood that Mr.. Gladstone
has chosen Mr.. John Morley as his
biographer and literary executor and
that many of his letters and private
papers have recently been sent to Mr.
Morley. 1t would be impossible to
conceive of man better qualified. in
every way, to undertake the important
and delicate task of writing the life
and editing the literary remains of the
distinguished statesman.
Jules Verne has completed a tale of
adventure called LIE Sphinx des
Glaces" In France Jules Verne is
considered a worthy successor of Ed
gar Allen Poe. He tells the story of
how Poe's works filed him with ad-
miration and how he first derived his
own inspiration for romantic story
telling from the genius of the great
American writer. 1t is a question II
the stories of Edgar Allen Poe are not
even more popular in France than
either In England or America, thanks
to the admirable translations Of Bau-
delaire. Jules Verne in his latest work
reveals to what extent he has been in
fuenced by Poe. In lie Sphinx des
Glaces" Jules Verne has taken up and
continued the story of the hapless Ar
thur Gordon Pym. and thereby has vir-
tually put himself in the place Of Poe.
''Le Sphinx des Glaces" is very prettily

Curious Application of X-Rays.

A use for the detective powers of the
X-ray has been found in the silk in
dustry. Silk cocoons are divided into
two classes, one called masculine"
and the other feminine" according as
they yield a greater number of male or
female eggs. The male cocoons are the
richer in silk, but hitherto the only
way to distinguish them has been by
weight, the female cocoons being the
heavier Now, it is said, simpler and
surer test is furnished by the X-ray,
because one end of the female cocoon
is far less transparent to the ray than
greater accumulation of mineral salts
In the eggs.

DOCTORS DON'T DENY IT.
The frank testimony of a
famous physician.

when DR. Aver announced his Sarsapa-
Hlla to the world, he at once found the
physicians his friends. Such a remedy
was what they had looked for, and they
were prompt to appreciate its merits and
prescribe 1t. Perhaps no mcdiciue-known
as patent medicine-is SO generally ad-
ministered and prescribed by ply sicians as
DR.. Ayers Sarsapariila for blood diseases,
and diseases of the skin that indicate
tainted condition OF the blood. Experience
has proved il to be a specific in such
diseases. and sores of long standing, old
ulcers, chronic rheumatism, and many
other like forms of disease have yielded to
the persevering use of DIR. Ayers Sarsapar-
lila after other medicines had utterly failed.

Worship by Telephone.

Three churches in England are now
using telephones to reach the aged
members, those who are i'll, and doubt
less some of the lazy. The plan is
soon TO be tried in some of our larger
cities. A transmitter will be placed in
front of the pulpit and another before
the choir. These will be connected
by main wire to a point where, on
diverging wires, the volume OF sound
will be distributed to the different sub
scribers. Some of our livelier pastors
will be obliged to stand still if they
wish to be rightly interpreted. This
is the only difficulty which the plan
presents.

A Missionary Medicine.

Cleanliness begins within. If ma n ism
clean inside, he is far from Goodness. A
constipated sinner is a stencil in the nostrlls
of the Deity. A man whose food sours in
hisstomach, and whose liver is leaden, can't
help looking at the world hatefully with
jaundiced eve, and conjuring up evil
thoughts in his tortured brain. Cleanliness
of person begets cleanliness of thought.

fellows and recommends others to take
Cascarets and be as happy as he.

in this matter for were IL disposed to
be entirely fair it would admit that
it has two Populist rivals in this city
alone which are doing their level best

those papers as well as to the Monitor.
