LIFE IN AFRICA.
ssn-Esting Lions Devour the Advsnce
Guard of Civilization.


Some further facta have been -s-
ceiSed about the man-eating lions
which made such panic among 1000
indian coolies working on the Uganda
railroad few months ago. II appears
that the first time the laborers knew
anything about lions that make busi-

when one OF the brutes. in broad day
light, as the laborers were strung along

OF his paw and MANNED another so
badly that he could not get away OF
course all the Mortified workmen took
TO their heels and raised the alarm at
the camp a mile away. The district
engineer and his assistant at once went
to the spot. but the lion had disap-
peared, leaving all of the .wo bodies he
could not eat at one meal. After that
an armed guard was kept along the
line OF work. but It made little differ
ence to the animals that were deter
mined to have men to eat They would
spring like a flash out of the jungle.

pursuit. Two days after the first man
was killed another man was taken. and
the next day another disappeared, and
within fortnight eleven men had been
siezed, all from one camp. The third

fifteen. The sixteenth victim was one
of the coolle overseers, a huge man.

more than 200 pounds. He was the
first man to reach the WORK line in the
morning, and Just RS he was giving
some instructions lion sprang upon
him and dealt him terrible blow on
the head. crushing the skull. Then he
coolly began to eat his prey, while the
shiyering Indians stood about 300 feet
away feeling that they were safe now
that the lion had got his man. Some

Womcn'S Extravaganza.
II the opinion OF the average Eng
lishman is worthy OF credence-and the
opinion. indeed. OF all men throughout
Europe-American women spend too
much money on their personal adorn-
ment. II is one fault of the women OF
America that they consider themselves
obliged to buy perishable dresses to
meet the exigencies OF fashion. while
In England princess, a duchess, will
do with one handsome silk as her only
elegant costume. The tyranny OF dress
makers and the frequent chan IS OF
fashion make dress a very serious busi-
ness to fashionable women in America
II they chance to be poor And in Civ
ing good material into the hands of in
experienced dressmakers women often
suffer dreadful loss 1t is the old
story OF the Irish cook trying to make
n vol-au-vent de volatile To make a
French dress one needs a French artist
The French dress is elegant and 1t fits
II is easy and comparatively inexpen-
sive TO dress a woman favored with a
God figure. but not one in a hundred
has a good figure any more than she
has good walk. Dress is made there
fore. to conceal defects. aud to heighten
beauties. as moonlight is said to do.
The stout people must not be cos
TUNED like thin ones. It is conces-
sion to defects which has brought
about extraordinary fashions The
high collars worn by the princess of
Wales are to conceal scars. Should
every woman who has a fair throat
that most peerless of beautles-cover
/, up because princess has scars?

SUFFRAGE A FAILURE.
1hatI what the Men out in Colorado
Think About the yoman's
Rights Question.

colorado politicians will, almost 10
a man, in private conversation declare
that woman suffrage is a failure and a
farce in our state, but one Of them has
the nerve to say so over his own sig
nature in the newspapers" said Mr.. +.
Il. Graham, a leading business man Of
Durango, Col, TO Washington Post
reporter.
''As I do not aspire to office, there is
no reason for timidity on my part, and
I unhesitatingly declare that the oX-
pertinent Of giving the ballot to women
in Colorado has been as rank piece
Of foolishness as any people ever in
flict2d upon themselves; it has done a
very little good, perhaps, and great
deal more Of harm, and. though it may
never be repealed, there is no possible
ity of good coming out oft. The WON
CT claim that their presence has made
the elections cleaner, hat I contend
that they appropriate credit that does
not belong TO them, for while the
elections are better conducted than
formerly, the Improvement is due to
the Australian system and not to the
women.
The presence Of women in conven-
tons and political meetings is 10 my
mind degrading 10 then. Surrounded
by lot Of coarse men whom they
would not elevate or refine in a life
time, they are entirely out Of their ele-
ment. Their vote in no way conduces
TO better government than If they were
without the franchise, for they vote on
sentiment, or follow the lead Of their
husbands, and so the only result is TO
increase the number of voters. There
are thousands Of good women in the
state who are tired of the business and
very much r ret that the ballot was
ever conferred on their sex.

Of Sl0,59! % for each factory. At the
