The horse of with the first lion in pursuit, and the second, no doubt con- sidering me the easier prey, picked me up almost before touched the ground, and, gripping me by the right shoulder in such a position that I was face up, with my legs and body dragging under meath his belly, proceeded to trot off down the path, uttering all the time a loud, growing, purring noise, just like, on small scale, a cat does when she walks off with a mouse. I have read Livingston's account of his being taken by lion, but the state of apathy and absence of pain which he speaks of were mot at all present in my case. I suffered terribly, both physically and mentally, especially the latter; my thoughts were horrible, as at that time I saw no pos sible way of escape. The lion took me nearly 200 yards, my spurs all the time catching in the ground until the leath- CTS broke. Suddenly I bethougt me of my sheath knife. which carry on my belt behind my right hip.

The lion im- mediately dropped me and again stuck him with all my force, evidently severing some large artery or vein, as the blood poured over me. He jumped back and stood two or three yards of facing and growing. scrambled to my feet, and having read of the in fluence the human voice Is said to have l I shouted all the most opprobrious epithets could think of at him.

Ancient and Modern ideas on these Interesting
 Subjects.
UP-TO-DATE METHODS
For Purifying and Beautifying the Skin, Scalp, Hair
 and Hands.


 Socrates called beauty short-lived tyranny, Plato privilege of nature, Theoclitus, a delightful prejudice, Theophrastus silent cheat. Carneades a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious gift of nature. Ovid favor of the gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of rec ommendation in the world, and yet none of these distinguished authorities has left us even hint of how beauty Is to be perpetuated, or the ravages or age and disease defed. Time soon blends the lily and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous disfgurations and crimsons the Roman nose with insight ly fushes, moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by defacing the complexion, and fills the sensitive soul with agony.
 If such be the unhappy condition of ono afflicted with slight skin blemishes, what must be the feelings of those in whom torturing humors have for years run riot, covering the skin with scales. and sores and charging the blood with poisonous elements to be- come part of the system until deathS
 It is in the treatment of torturing, disnguring humors and affections of the skin, scslp and blood, with loss of hair, that the Cuticura remedies have achieved their greatest success. Orig inal in composition, scientifically com pounded, absolutely pure, unchange- able in any climate, always ready, and agreeable to the most delicate and sen sitive, they present to young and old the most successful cufatives of mod ern times.

STAND UP FOR LIBERTY" HE
 CRIED.

CRIED.
 It is somewhat startling to find Pres ident Eliot quietly announcing, not as a figure of speech, but as an actual sims pie fact, that in Boston to-day there is less liberty than there was in ITS. Our ancestors fought King George because he would not give them enough liberty in that year. They endured a long war; and then established a government with a constitution to secure the bless ings of liberty to themselves and their pcsterity. Less liberty for their poster ity. Less liberty for their posterity now against petty tax on tea, which in terfered with nobody's comfort or ability to earn a living where and as he chose? Yet, if we consider we shall see that the statement is literally true. King George never dreamed of such in terference with the colonists as the free citizens of the United States and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Of every other Commonwealth in the land daily endure at the hands of ir- responsible combinations which have usurped the power of telling them who may build their houses and at what price, whom they may employ and at | what wages. It has beconh a well known fact that in many cities the workers and the employers in the build- ing trades are in combination to de- fraud and tyrannize over the citizens. When a house is to be built a corrupt circle decides who is to bid for it at an
 exorbitant price and what bogus bids are to be put in to support it. The
 owner is helpless. If he rebels he can find no other contractor to do the work.
 or, if he does, a strike will put stop to the endeavor. New York Tribune.
