AGeniaI Enconnter.

The tsar's last visit to France has
filed the French papers with reminis,
cences of his former stay.
One day he drove incognito to the
house of Loubet, then president of the
senate, and while his companion went
in to announce the visit, he amused
himself by putting his head out of the
window and looking at the people who
passed.
A whistling street boy approached
aud recognized him, in spite of the
plainness of his equipage. He stopped,
took off his cap and said, cheerfulIy.
Good day, sir! How is the empress?'
The tsar was naturally surprised, but
he replied, with a smile:
Thanks, young man. The empress
is quite well, and has enjoyed the trim
very much"
The boy seemed glad to hear it, nod
ded, and went whistling away. The
tsar said, in telling the story, that he,
thus cordially accosted, was the only
one of the two to be embarrassed.

Exposing q Fraud.

Dishonest holders Of accident insur.
ance policies frequently put the COM
panies' physicians to needless trouble
by claiming damage for trifiing hurts,
which under the law entitle them to
nothing. Some deliberately practice
fraud, says a physician quoted in the
Atlanta Journal and pretend to have
ailments when they are sound in ev-
cry part
A few days ago, says the physician,

anime a man who pretended to have
had his hearing totally destroyed by
the premature explosion Of a blast.
had an idea from the start that the
man was shamming, but all the tests
that l could apply seemed to show
that he was stone deaf. Still l was not
satisfied, and resolved to try little
strategy.
Coaching the nurse beforehand how
to act, / entered the room hastily and
cried: "Qulck, quick! The fire extin-
guisher! Where is It? Never mind
the deaf man! Save yourselfv'
Then we both rushed to the door;
but the patient was quicker than we
were, and got out before us. He had
the good sense, however, to realize
that the game was up, and he never
appeared again.

DOGS AS SCOUTS

try, after an experience Of the condi.
tions of warfare In the Philippines,
strongly urges that dogs should be at.
tached to the army. In the Army and
Navy Journal be expresses the opln-
ion that dogs are the only scouts that
can secure a small detachment against
ambush on the trails through these
tropical jungles.
The bush is so dense that fankers
are out Of the question; and trails are
so crooked and over such rough ter.
ritory that the point. at one or two
hundred yards, is out of sight OF the
main party. The insurgents, lying In
ambush usually. or often. let the point
pass and open with volley upon the
wagons and main body of the escort.
They open from apparently lmpene-
trable jungle, and at a range from
thirty to two hundred yards. They
fire one or two volleys, then usually
run away. Sometimes never a man
of them can be seen.
The dogs, pointers or hounds, would
need little training. Their instincts
for hunting and smiling in every hole
and corner would he sufficient to JUS
tify their use.
Captain Steele possesses a dog nam
ed Done, and asserts that up to the
date of writing no detachment with
which it has been out has fallen into
an ambuscade.
HE went with US last winter on
General Schwan's long southern cam
paign," says Captain Steele, ''and
lived for more than month on scraps
of hard bread and bacon He covered
six times as much ground every day
as any man of the column, and Is the

Large African Lion Killed at the

An EngliShman who lived many years
in Africa relates a thrilling experience

| Suddenly | felt, rather than saw,
something moving near the veranda.

perceived an enormous lion stealing
along the ground In the direction OF my
wife and child. My wife saw the crea-
ture at the same instant. and despite
her terror, fortunately remained per
| fectly motionless and silent.
Scarcely knowing what to do, hasti-

where knew loaded rifle was leaning
against the wall. | CLIMBED In at the
window, seized the rifle aud leaped by

The bali passed directly over my

and stretched him on the ground.
There was an instant of fearful sus-

lion had been killed at the first shot.
