MaudIin and MagdaIen.

"Maudlin and Magdalen are one

"Magdalen, Mary Magdalen, was a

A hunter of big game in Central

two cartridges remained in my pouch.
However. | raised my rifle to fire at
the head when up popped another,

than six lions. While following the
spoor | had been going round in q

understand me, and still came on until
about thirty yards from them. He
was carrying the lechwe (antelope)

a splendid opportunity for shot at
the head of the biggest, but with the
ammunition | had and the position OF
myself and the native in the long grass

Il shouted to the boy TO make a de-
tour and come alongside me, which he
did, the lions watching him all the
time. We tried TO drive them out of
the grass into the open beyond, where
would have felt safe in firing, but
they were feeding on the lechwe
which / had wounded and as we ap-
preached a lioness put her tail in the
air and grOwled. So considering dis

as dusk was coming on, we beat a
orderly retreat. We were near the

There was not light enough to risk

RICE HULLING MACHINE.
it Does Away With the Polishing Process

Houston, Tex, Sept 15.-A rice
hulling machine, invented by DR.
A. B Couch, was tried today al
the Smith. Wallis Iron Works il
the presence of a number of prom
inent rice experts, among whom
were Mr.. Gray, editor of the Rice
Industry; Tom Fatjo, rice expert
of the Merchants & Planters Bond
ed Warehouse; J. A. Lambert, rice
merchant, and others.
One of the leading features OF
the machine is that it mills the rice
without polishing it. This IS a
great advantage, as it does away
with the use of parafine and glu-
cose, which is used to polish rice.
Of course in its natural condition
it is purer and the flavor is much
improved and more nutritious. The
purpose is to put the rice on the
market in this unpublished condi-
ton.
Another great advantage in this
new machine is that the farmer can
mill his rice at home with It. The
capacity of one machine is about
seventy-fve sacks of rough rice per
day
On Saturday next a sack, which
was the first sack raised at Lane
City, will be nilIed OH one of these
machines and shipped to the Cotton
Exchar ge and sold for charitable
purposes.
This new machine will probably
be manufactured in Houston.
