Is of a very elementary character
reading, writing Arabic grammar, the
Koran, and a little arithmetic being the
only subjects. But the boys of the

at home by a mollah, and advanced
further. The lack of method is partly
compensated for by the precocity ana
tenacity of memory shown by the boys.

The Champion Rough and Tim bio
Fighter of Animaldom.
There was time when the Ameri=
can mountain lion was one of the
most formidable animals in the world.
The cat is the masterpiece Of nature;
and the mountain Hon was one of the
most terribly armed and powerful of
the cat family. 1t was compact bass
Of hard and tough muscle and gristle,
with bones of iron, strong jaws, sharp
teeth. and claws like steel penknife-
blades. 1t was prodiglously strong,
1.-the, and quick, covered with mail
coat of loose skin that was as tough
as leather. 1t nad the temper of de-
mon, and was insatiably bloodthirsty.
Withal, II had the proverbial nine lives
of the cat tribe.
Against such an animal 1t was hope
less to match dogs. 1t was said, in the
schoolbooks of forty years ago, that
three British mastiffs can pull down
a full-grown Asiatic lion.' Perhaps
they could; but they would have been
sorry If they had tackled full-grown
American mountain lion of that time.
He was not to be pulled down" by
anything; and if he had been pulled
down." that was exactly the position
in which he fought best. With his
back protected by the earth, and all
four fearfully armed paws flying free,
aided by his terrible teeth, and body
so strong that 1t could not be held in
any position-well, when he was
down" was the time that he was most
up"
He once was found in all the Rocky
Mountain regions. from the jaguar-
haunted tropical forests Of the extreme
South to the home of the Northern win
ter blizzard; but he attained his great
est size and ferocity on the subtropical
plateau of northern Mexico, New Mex
leo, and Arizona.
These animals are no longer what
they We're. The tourist or hunter of
to-day cannot hope to find any of the
old-time power or ferocity.-St. Nicho.

There is no question as to the senti.

in favor of being just to Cuba. The
stubborn resistance of the Republican
bosses on the Ways and Means Com

representing special protected interests

to big contributors to the Hanna cor

they do to the American people. They
