SOARING THE LIONS.
Fierce Forest Kings Driven on by
Initiating the Cries of
Pack of Wolves.

NJ. Foa, the French explorer, says
that lions have a wholesome fear of
African wolves, which hunt in packs,
and do not scruple to attack even the
lion. There are terrible battles in
which the lion succumbs to numbers,
and dies fighting. In connection with
the lions fear of wolves M. Foa tells
story from his own experience.
1t was very dark night, so dark
that trees could not be distinguished
until the travellers were close upon
them. Lions prowled about the party,
.one of them roaring from a point so
close as to have an alarming effect
on the nerves. The animals could not
be seen, but they could be heard on
all sides.
Reaching a tree, the men found one
of their comrades with rifle cooked,
peering into the darkness, trying to
discover the whereabouts of the an
imal, which could be plainly heard
walking among the leaves. A second
man was trying to relight half-ex-
tinguished torch. Still the lions could
be heard coming and going in the
darkness.
At this point the native servant
whispered the advice to initiate the cry
of wolves in the distance. The party
at once began barking and crying:
"Hu! hu! hui" in an undertone, as if
the pack were still at distance, while
the man at the camp made the same
well-imitated cry.
The effect was instantaneous. There
was the sound of a rapid stampede
across the dry leaves. The lions de-
camped in a panic, driven off by the
supposed approach of pack of wolves.
For the rest of the night the party was
undisturbed.

ceiled over the paper, thus making two
air chambers, one of inches and one
2 inches. 1t was ceiled and pa
pered overhead and filed with saw
dust level with the joists.
Two 12-inch ventilators run from
the ceiling up through the roof. The
windows in this room are of two
thiclnesses of glass. There are also
two small openings in the wall in op-
posite corners, to allow cold air to
come in when the night is cooler than
the day. Last fall when the thermom-
eter stood for several days above 90
degrees in the shade, we never saw it
above 76 degrees in this room. This
spring we put in cold air duct.
The cheese are placed on a truck
as they are taken from the presses and
pushed to the curing rooms. The
whey is pasteurized as soon as drawn
and kept in tanks covered with boards
and roofing paper. Some of our pa
irons say that the value of the whey
was doubled by pasteurizing.
The building sets on tile founda-
tion, built high enough so no boards
touch the ground. 1t is covered with
an asbestos roofing. We use no hoist
ing crane to unload, as the cans are
dumped over saddle from the wag-
ons. The upper story over work
rooms is used for boxes, workshop,
etc.-Orange Judd Farmer.

He did not finish the sentence even
to himself, but went on with the work
of clearing the table, making the two
bows sit down in a corner of the dim
ing-room while he did the work. When
he had carried everything out, he let
the children go out into the kitchen
with him, while he carefully shut the
door into the dining-room and then
proceeded to do up the dishes, let
ting George help, and finally, in an
swer to the younger boys plea, allow
ing him to carry some of the inde-
structible dishes into the pantry.
"It's fun, isn't it, papa" said Carl,
as the last dish was wiped and the
towels hung up.

grimly.

years since they had moved into the

They found that Mrs. Ward had gon,
upstairs in answer to call from
Lewis, the oldest boy of the familf

The duty of putting the two young
er lads to bed devolved upon tie
father. He performed the duty with
out much heart in it. His wife was 81
lent and in no mood for reconciliation.
When Carl said his usual prayer, lie
added: "And bless Maggie, because
she is so bad, and has wandered far
from the fold" repeating a phrase ie

before. And Mr.. Ward listened with
anything but love of mankind in lis
heart, wondering whether he ought
not to be included in the child's peti-
ton, esteemed church member though
he might be in the eyes of those who
did not see into his home life.
In the morning he faced tired, list
less, discouraged wife, sitting oppo-
site him at breakfast which had been
prepared with his help, under protest,
and with a spirit of nervous depres-
sion that from experience he knew
well enough meant a miserable day at
! home.
He rose from the table with really
desperate feeling, saying again to
himself: "It would be funny, if il
were not so tragic"

Mrs. Clark did not answer, and Bar

| Mrs. Clark looked at her daughter
again with that questioning look OF
doubt which she often felt when Bar

not the girls habit to treat any sub

great seriousness now, and yet there
were ideas in what she said that her

Two of the strongest enemies of
butter to-day are oleomargarine and
the preservatives. Both are of the
same general character, for they de-
pend on the greed of men for their
very existence. Both exist in the dark
ness and masquerade under other than
their true characters. Oleomarnarine
can be proftably sold only when it is
sold for butter. The preservatives are
sold by being proclaimed as perfectly
healthful drugs. The ignorant and
vicious buy the chemicals. The ipnor-
ant principally buy the bogus butter
products, or at least most of the
consumers are ignorant. In either case
dissemination of knowledge is neces-
sary to destroy the enemy.-Farmsrs'

CHAIN TRACE IN OPERATION.

they had a weeks hard work on hand.
A Yankee neighbor happened to visit
the farm, and after watching the men
for awhile told one of them to go to
the barn and harness a mule and bring
him with a ten-foot chain. Then he
set the men to digging around the
vines and cutting the main roots. When
the mule and chain came he made y
half-hitch with the chain around a
vine near the ground, and attached it
to the mules whiilletree. Then he took
a piece of 2X4 about four feet long,
placed one end on the ground and the
other under the chain, leaning at an
angle of 45 degrees toward the vine.
The mule was started and the vine
lifted out of the ground. The chain
was unfastene6 and hitched to the
next, and so on. The whole job was
done with the mule, and was an easy
and speedy one. The same plan will
work with all grubbing where the roots
are not too large. Fence posts can also
be pulled up in the same way.-Orange

Hard Struggles of Noted Jurist.

Judge Willis, lecturing recently on
"My Personal "reminiscences" told a
large audience that instead of being
reared in the lap of luxury, and sent
to Oxford or Cambridge, as some peo-
pie imagined, he had passed six years
in business before he was 81 years
of age, doing every kind of work
that came within his daily calling. In
a basement he had entered $4,000
worth of bonnets, hats and ribbons
in dne day, and for nights in success
sion heard the bells of st. Paul's
strike IL as he turned out to walk
three miles to his house. On leaving
school at Is he studied Latin and
Greek and afterward matriculated in
London university in the first di-
vision. A year later, in 1853, he
passed into the inner temple and be-
gan the study of law. With the ex-
ception of e100 year he received
for his maintenance and for books, his
education for the law cost about 6 TO-,
as they could attend all the
best lectures at the inner temple
for 95 per annum. He secured
his b. A. degree in 1859, and in
the nextyear, having read law day and
night without anyone to help him, he
came out in the examination first

Owing to a change in the plans of a

Grasses for Dry wenther.

Experience during recent dry sum-
mera strongly emphasizes the chief
weakness of blue graas-its almost
entire failure to grow during dry
weather. Orchard grass has been
found best of the ordinary grasses
in this respect, but the common red
clover has shown it's superiority to
any of the smaller grasses for either
hay or grazing in dry years. Highly
priced as are the old blue grass pas
lures, it seems clearly proved that
greater quantity of food would be
produced by putting them under a
rotation, with corn and clover the
chief crops. This would involve more
labor, but in present conditions
would give better prospects of
profits, said the late Prof. G. L. Nor
row.

Coal in New Orleans.

The Pittsburg Dispatch thus exalts it's town and district:
 The Monougahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company is completing q very important transaction in the line of harmonizing opposing interests. The to- tai acquisition of Southern coal proper ties aggregates about s3,00O000, and will give the Pittsburg product undoubted su- premacy in Gulf markets.
 This may explain the Walker County purchases, and then again it may not. These purchases were not made for a trifie, and the Monongahela Company may have money to throw at operators in Walker County; but the chances are that the mines in question will be made productive by the new owner, and that more and more coal will take the place of Pennsylvania coal in the Lower Mississippi valley, simply be- cause it can be mined and laid down there at a lower cost of production, as the Dispatch doubtless knows.
 But whether the Monongahela Com pany does this or not others will fill the Gulf markets with Alabama coal as soon as an Open Warrior supple ments the Lake Borgne canal. The in- side waterway from New Orleans to the Alabama coal fields will soon be completed to Tuscaloosa, and in the course of couple of years to Birming- ham itself.

Presidents May Go Abroad.

The sovereigns and prime ministers in other countries go where and when they will, and no thought is taken of 1t. Lord Salisbury was until yester- day on the continent, and Queen Vic toria often went to France or Italy, staying weeks and even months for purposes of health or rest. And yet President Mckinley refused at El Paso to cross the bridge that spans the Rio Grande, and President Harrison once walked to the central point of the same bridge, but would not go any further. Mrs. Mckinley. walked to the end of the bridge. but MT. Mckinley did not. It is not recorded that Mark Hanna went to the, Mexican end of 1t.
 And yet there is not word or line X in the constitution or laws to forbid the President crossing that or any other bridge. In. many of the States there is provision for the discharge of the duties of the executive office while the Governor is absent, but in the federal constitution the subject Is left to inference. It is another example of the insufficiency of a written consti- tuition. The constitution does provide that the Vice President shall act in case of the removal, death, resigna- tion or inability of the President to perform the duties of the office. Death" or resignation" are definite enough perhaps, but no one knows what removal or inability" means. No one will know until the Supreme Court applies them to given cases.
 To say thougn that either word would have applied to President Mckinley if he had walked to the Mexican end of the Fl Paso bridge is absurd. The Rough Rider was not looking at any rate, and If he had been he could not | bdNS tDHSLiuto Lnt WOIQo III lhSoeioh to his official advantage. The position
 in other words that the President can
 not leave the country during his term cannot go to Cuba or to Canada or to the Mexican end of the El Paso 4bridge-has nothing to rest upon. It His an$Insupported inference wrought Ilout of the yagueness of very vaguely. fwritten constitution that the Republi- can party does not hesitate to distort and twist about to suit any policy 1t may desire to enforce An instrument that can be fitted to greenbacks and prohibitive tariff, when neither are even referred to in 1t, can certainly be stretched to permit the President to travel with no fear of the Rough Rider before his eyes.

Sentence of Frank Miller.

There are those who think Frank Miller did not fire the shot that killed either of the brave men who were guarding the city on that March night. 1t is conceded even by such people that Miller was in this city on crimi- nality intent, but they say the evidence does not show that he fired fatal shot. He himself admits that he did fire, but he says his shot went wide of human mark.
 This is a conviction based on circum- stantial, as well as direct, evidence, but if the case were tried over like result would be probable, There wotiid not be, so far as any one can now see, new evidence of material nature.

Gold in Monroe.

From the Monroe Journal
 While other sections are going wild over discoveries of oil, Monroe comes to the front with gold mine which may yet bring the county into prominence and make milionaires of some of her citizens.
 Information has just reached the Jour nal that a gold mine has been discovered In the vicinity of Mount Pleasant. The matter has been kept quiet for some time until the nature of the ind could be de- termined beyond doubt. Specimens of the yellow metal have been submitted to leading jewellers and chemists. who pro- nounce it genuine gold. A quantity of the soil in which the particles appear has been shipped to assayers and the result of the tests is anxiously awaited. If 1t developes that the metal exists in paying quantities a rush to that section may be looked for.
 We learn that MT. c. ID. King is entitled to the credit for the discovery and Is hav- ing the matter thoroughly investigated.
