CATCHING LIONS.
Natives of the kaIahari Country IN
Africa Seize Them by
the Tail.

A Mr.. Freeman, who visited South
Africa in the first half of the century,
was able to gather much informat ton
about life and sport in that country.
He gives his authority for most singu-
lar mode of attack upon the lion, says
Youths Companion.
Mr.. Lemue, who formerly resided at
Motto, and is familiar with the Kala-
hari country, assured me that the re-
markable accounts sometimes circulat-
ed as to the people of that part of Afri-
ca catching lions by the tail, and of
which, | confess, [ was very incredu-
lous, were perfectly true. He well
knows that the method prevailed, and
was certainly not uncommon among
the people.
Lions would sometimes become ex-
tremely dangerous. Having become ac-
customed to human flesh, they would
not willingly eat anything else. When
a neighborhood became infested, the
men would determine on the measures
to adopted to rid themselves of the
nuisance. Then, forming themselves
into band, they would proceed in
search of their royal foe.
AS the men stood close by one an
other, the lion would make spring on
some one Of the party-every man, of
course, hoping that he might escape
the attack-when instantly others
would dash forward and seize his tail
close to the body, lifting him up with
all their might. Thus they not only
astonished the animal and took him
absolutely off his guard, but they rem
dered his efforts powerless for the mo-
ment. Other men closed in with their
spears, and pierced the monster
through and through.
All this was done, not for the exciting
pleasure Of lion-hunt nor as an ex-
hibition of prowess, but to rid the
neighborhood of the villages of a
dreadful enemy, and TO save the men
themselves from becoming in their
turn the breakfast or the supper Of
this monarch of the desert.

fall were like palpable substances

with fears and direful maginings.
"Exposure!" seemed to be written in
letters Of fire on the unIghted walls of
her chamber. "Suicide!" was the next
word she saw, but she brushed it aside.
She would not even think of such a
step. Even after this game was played,
and had entertained the victims of the

yet be other fields for the exercise of
her fruitful brain. The world had al

of resources.
At ten o'clock she heard some one
coming up the stairs. She weighed the
tread, wondering if it was a police
mans. No, it was too light for that. It
was a woman's. Opening the door. she
saw Mrs. Nolan standing before her in
the il-lighted corridor. She drew her
in, her fears completely dominating
her speech.
L know you are angry, but I could
not help it?' began Mrs. Nolan in
harsh undertone.

right on, take the first fight of stairs
to the right and you will be swallowed
up in the gang in a minute"
This opinion was well grounded.
Mrs. Goddard crossed the deck, de-
scended the steps in question and found
herself in throng of passengers with
eyes only for the little boat ahead of
them. Our adventures was soon on
the tender, and took the most remote
seat she could find in the stern of the
boat. 1t soon began to move.
| The lights of Liverpool lay along the
shore half a mile distant. The black
hull of the Cleopatra doomed overhead
like a threatening cloud. Mrs. God
dard held her satchel tightly in her
lap. It seemed such a short distance
and yet the little boat seemed only to
creep. She drew the foggy air deep
into her lungs. It seemed so sweet aft
er her close confinement. She would
feel that she had earned the right to
Der freedom when she got it. After
awhile, through the gray light of COM
ing dawn, she began to discern the
buildings of the city.
A little later the tender was scrap
ing against the piles of the wharf. AS
she went ashore, Mrs. Goddard saw
that two or three sleepy custom Off
GERS were hurriedly passing the hand
luggage without examination. 1t was
evident that only the trunks would
have to bear close scrutiny. One of the
officers caught her arm and turned her

and she passed on out Of the throng
into the cold, deserted streets of the
sleeping city.
''The dead is alive" she muttered,

Without much trouble she found the
Hamilton house, and Mrs. Charles
Gray" was soon in a big comfortable
room.
"Now, if Lucy only passes the custom
officers safely there will not be one
single thing to bother me-" she said.
"And what is to hinder her?"
But as the morning passed and her
companion did not appear, her citation
changed to anxiety. What could have
delayed the woman? Surely something
had arisen, even at this late hour, to
rouse suspicion. Mrs. Goddard walked
the floor like Gagged beast. Noon came
and passed, and the afternoon dragged
itself along at a snai's pace. She was
afraid to &c out in the street. For
aught she knew the police, having ar

The permanent pasture, A, can be
seeded down to June grass, white
clover, blue grass, timothy, in fact,
almost any grass that will not freeze
out. Pasture B is FOR clover for sum-
mer grazing, also for winter grazing
if wanted and possible. Pasture G is
for corn or green corn fodder raising.

GOOD HIVES FOR BEES.
Work That Should Be Done as Soon
as the Busy Little Insects Be-
gin Their Wcrk.

Hives become unfit for good manipu-
lation, and if not cleaned up every
spring and put in good order we lose
great part of their usefulness. Bees
carry in large quantities of propolis or
bee glue, and plaster it over the inside
of the hives and over the frames in
such quantities that it almost disqual-
ifes the frame hive for the use it is
intended. Bees also build burr combs
around the edges of the frames, and
about in the inside OF. the hive; this
also blocks good handling. While hives
are made to prevent the building OF
burr combs as much as possible no
hives entirely prevent it.
During the honey season bees fire.
quently build out some of their combs
in which they store honey SO wide
that they can scarcely be placed back
in the hives without bruising the
combs and killing bees. These combs
should be trimmed down to the proper
thickness by shaving of the surface
with sharp knife. The frames should
be cleaned of propolis and burr combs,
thus putting the frame in the best
shape for good handling during the
honey season.
We can clean up the hives nicely by
beginning with clean one and setting
the frames with contents, bees and all,
into it from another; then this one
may be prepared for the next colony,
and so on until the entire number of
hives are put in good shape and with
but one empty hive to start with.
This is the important work to be
done in spring and should be done just
after the weather gets warm and the
bees are beginning work. Transfer
ring bees from old hives into new ones,
and all the work of cutting out and
Strengthening up the combs in the
frames should be done at this time.
Some who are not well posted become
discouraged with combs that have
turned black and think them worth
less, but by no means is this the case,
for after brood is reared in combs
they all turn black, but are not i'm
paired from usefulness.-A. Il. Duff, in
National Rural.

TEE BALANCED RATION.
Those Who Consider It's Existence
q Pigment of the Imagination
Are Very Much Mistaken.

To be a successful dairyman a man
must know good deal about the eff
feet on the animal system of the ra-
ton he feeds. A one-sided ration is
sure to work injury to the animal
at some time of it's career. Unbal-
anced rations are frequently the
cause of dyspepsia in animals as we'll
as man. An opinion seems to prevail
that an animal has stomach and di-
gestive system SO much superior to
that of man that any kind of food
can be consumed without bad effects.
All Investigations show that this is
not the case. A well-balanced ration
is doubtless the most healthful ra-
ton. The rations are over-balanced
according to the kind of food that
is most abundant in each neighbour
hood. In the corn belt the feeding
of corn to COWS becomes often al
most vice, with the result that the
dairy qualities in the cows are elm
mated by the strengthening of the
beef-producing powers. In sections
of the country where timothy is ex-
tensively grown the animals are fed
on this so exclusively that indiges-
ton often results. In regions where
clover is the cheapest food the
amount fed is so large as to result
in frequent losses from bloat. A
combination of foods to make a bal
anced ration is the thing to be de-
sired, and this cannot be dono un-
less the cow owner puts some
thought and investigation into the
subject.-Farmers Review.

Taking Care of Extra Combs.

In favora BILE years apple bloss oms
supply large amount of nectar. In
the spring there are often many
combs to be taken care of and, as
they are valuable for building up
weak colonies or swarms, they should
be well taken care of, says Mrs. Eff
fie Brown in Northwestern Agricul-
turist. In the first place they ought
to be brushed with whisk broom or
a soft brush till all the dead bees
that can be gotten loose are removed.
When the combs are as clean as they
can be made the hives should be
brushed or scraped out and the
combs put back into them and the
entrance and cover fastened SO tight
that moth miller cannot get in.
When they are securely fastened the
hives should be set under cover and
kept dry. All broken bits of comb
can be put in an empty flour sack
and when enough are collected they
may be made into wax.

CHARLES DICKENS PRESENT.
How a Little Girls Troubles Were
Changed to Happiness by the
.fkind GentIeman."

Charles Dickens was always very
fond of children. One day he was
walking in the neighborhood of Gad's
Hill, not long after he had acquired
his property there, when he sudden
ly ran into little girl wheeling a
dolls perambulator. In an instant
the tiny vehicle upset, the dolls being
thrown out, says the Detroit Free
Press.
1t was a bad accident as far as
they were concerned, for wax heads
and limbs are not calculated to stand
much hard usage. The little maid
burst into tears, and, much to the
noyelist's sorrow, refused to be COM
forted.
ssThen come home with me-" Dick
ems whispered soothingly, "and We'll
see if we can't find some grand waxen
lady in silks and satins fos YOU"
So back to the big house the two
went, and sure enough, up in the
children's nursery he managed to dis
cover a few prettily dressed dolls.
With these safely tucked in her per-
ambulator the little girl trotted off.
But it is in the sequel that the
best part of the story lies. The
child's heart was set on making some
return for this kindness, SO her par
ents, who had not the faintest sus-
picion of her friends personality,
took her to town to choose some
thing. Her choice fell eventually
upon a gorgeously bound book.
When Dickens the next day undid
the parcel his small visitor brought
him he was surprised and delighted
to see a copy of David Copperfeld."
Not until many years later, when
they met again in society, did the
little girl learn who the 'kind gen
tleman" was.

SEALED ORDERS.

Out she swung from her mornings,
And over the harbor bar,
AS the moon was slowly rising,
She faded from sight and afar,
And we traced her cleaning canvas
By the twinl1ling evening star.
None knew the port she sailed for,
Nor whittier her course would be;
Her future fate was sErouded
In silence and mystery.
She was sailing under sealed orders
To be opened out at sea.
Some souls, cut off from moorings,
Go drifting into the night,
Darkness before and around them,
With scarce a glimmer of light;
They are acting under sealed orders''
And sailing by faith, not sight.
Keeping the line of duty
Through good and evil report,
They shall ride the storms out safely,
Be the passage long or short;
For the ship that carries Gods orders
Shall anchor at last in port.
