The Roar OF the Lions.
BadNiNtOH Magazine.

had lain reading for some time,
and, after putting out my lantern
had curled up in my blankets, when
the lions began to roar again.
This 5anished sleep; so, getting
up, l went outside to listen. and
made out that they were coming
nearer and nearer through the
cane. Taking my binoculars, l
lay down in position to use them
through the opening of my tent
doors, which were Tapping quietly
in the night air, and my rife lay
also under my hand ready for any
eventuality.
The roaring continued, anil the
volume OF sound swelled nearer
and even nearer the angry voices
echoed in unison; but in spite of
binoculars,it was some time before
made out the forms Of any OF the
great beasts who were brea king
my rest, till two of them moved
up to where the crest OF the sand
rose against the horizon, and their
forms loomed dark against the sky.
Having satisfied myself in this
way, then moved back into the
blankets. and lay with my rifle
alongside of me, my long hunting
knife stuck upright in the ground
beside me, and fell to wondering
what would happen next. 1t was
the first time that | had heard lions
roaring within eighty yards, and
was interested in listening to the
low harsh "gurr" which one can
only hear at very close quarters.
Fancying that the lions we're
really moving down to the river
TO drink, | lay listening, when
suddenly the noise ceased instan-
taneously, and was succeeded by
the silence OF the grave-a hush
that could be absolutely felt
seemed to fall on the eight and
knew instinctlvely that they had
got my wind, and that if they
meant giving trouble it would not
be long in coming.
Crash, bang, clatterl and all was
uproar fora moment, as the charg-
ing brute came right on the top of
me, pressing in the canvas as he
lit, but bounding instantly away
behind my head, scared, Isuppose
by the tall of all the tin plates,
dishes, and cooking utensils that
my kaffir had left at the tent cor
ner uncleaned, and which he had
luckily hit hard as he Sprang.
bringing them down with a clatter
that was too much for his nerves.
This was coming it a little too
strong; so, showing my rifle bar
rels outside the door, l fired a shot
low, to make the hollow bullet
sing, then turning round, ! re-
peated the tune in the opposite
direction, which | thought the lion
had taken; and soon l had the
satisfaction Of hearing them all
roar again in the cane, but now a
good two hundred yards away.
Lighting my lantern, then went
outside, and after firing again,
aiming as we'll as / could Judge by
the sounds, | shouted to my
kafirs to bring back the ca
noe, which they did immedi-
ate.y, com ng up in body
to my tent. This was in it
self a good performance, an1 one
that | mad not intended to ask Of
them, as | thought they would
merely bring the boat to the bank
below my tent. l explained what
had happened, and told them that
| intended crossing the river to get
some sleep; SO taking rifle. cartrid-
ges, lantern, and blankets with US.
We got into the canoe and poled |
across. But they would not even
camp on the further bank, prefer.
ring to get what broken rest they
could in the canoe.

CONCERNING SMOKING. An ar
ch9ologlst announces the discoV-
cry Of the fact that the ancient
Romans smoked. OF course they
knew not tobacco, which is a plant
native and peculiar to the New
World, but they used several other
herbs, and Of these tour have been
definitely identified. This reveIa-
ton upsets the long accepted
theory that the practice Of smok-
ing was first INDUCED in by the
American aborigines, and was un-
known elsewhere in the world until
after Columbus discovered Amer
ica. Unquestionably, smoking
had already been practised by the
Indians for centuries when Colum-
bus first reached those shores. It
was with them to a great extent a
form Of religious ceremonial. Dr..
Daniel @. Brinton, the famous eth
nOlogist, thinks that it had its be-
ginning in the blowing tube OF the
medicine man. Ignorant saVages
are disposed to regard the human
breath as possessing magical prop
critics, and it may be supposed that
burning leaves were introduced
into the tube for the purpose Of
making the breathing visible. The
Indians smoked many kinds OF
plant, such as Sumac, red willow
bark, and the leaves Of the kinnik
mick or bear berry, and tobacco
doubtless was a discovery resulting
from a selection of the httest.
Some very remarkable pipes are
made nowadays by the Haida In
dlans; they are OF a peculiar kind
Of slate which has a very fine grain.
and is quite soft when newly quar-
ried. On this account the mate.
rial is utilized by the Haidas for
all sorts Of carving, and their pipes
are more elaborate than the most
costly merchants, representing
steamboats,, rows Of houses, and all
sorts OF other queer things The
earliest Indian pipes were simply
tubes, in one end OF which the to.
bacco or dried leaves we're put. Ii
has been found that the pipes u used
by the ancient Romans were made
on the same plan. the bowl being
an invention reserved for a com
paratively recent day. IL is worth
N entioning incidentally that the
is really an invention OF
the Indians. They made cigarettes
Just like those now in use, with
ofthe thinnest corn husk.
