Leaning back luxuriously, he ap- peared to be bursting from every seam of his dilapidatcd attire, and as he passed in and out of cat maps he nodded solemnly, like a porcelain man. darin, His legs were crossed and his suspended foot was incased in a shoe from which most of the forward por- tion of the sole was missing, exposing his bare and dirty toes from below. It was held to his foot by string tied around his instep; in fact, he was lit- erally "on his uppers, circumstance which bothered him as little as the goedetic tablet. Presently, in one of his waking intervals, be espied a half smoked cigar stump lying on the pave ment about yard from the bench. For moment lie surveyed it calmly, dispassionately, almost iudicially. Then he executed a remarkable strat- egie movement Without stirring the upper portion of his body, he slowly uncrossed his legs. lowered his foot accurately and deliberately over the treasure trove. gripped it in a eonvul~ siYe clutch of his toes, reversed the motion, raised his foot carrying with It the stump, crossed his legs, lan- guidly stretched forth his hand and secured his prize. \ gouty clubman, who was out for constitutional and who had watched the proceeding from another bench, was lost in admiration. Why the man is a wonder!" he ex- claimed to friend. There is some thing magnificent, almost supernatural in such laziness as that! He has ele- vated it to an art, to a-but, hold. t would be thousand pities if he were disturbed for a match l must offer him one!" The gouty clubman arose with difficulty, hobbled down the walk, and, drawing silver match-case from his pocket, extended it with polite bow. The tramp manifested no sur prise, but slowly extracted match and ignited the stump, Tanks" he murmured. and closed his eyes.

Speed of Lions and Tigers.

For short distance lion or tiger can outrun man, and can equal the speed of a fast horse, but they lose their wind at the end of half a mile at the most. They have little endurance, and are remarkably weak in lung pow CT. Their strength is the kind which is capable of a terrific effort for short time.

Some like solitude amid fine scenery; others prefer to be alone in crowd, or else desire complete change from their accustomed surroundings, like a sailor who stipulated that his bride should take him well out of sight of the sea. But the most ideally perfect honeymoon, according to a sentimen- talist, is when two lovers have been parted. and after long grief and pain" they meet once more, not to be disil- lusioned. as sometimes happens, but to find the love of former days more than rene~- Their wef ny follows swiftly on the happy meeting. and they go off with the glamor of it still in their hearts, to some place of sunny weather and perfect beauty Such an experience of happiness as that is rare, but for those who are fortunate enough to win it the remembrance must re- main lifelong joy
