A Glow From a Lions paw.

a man entered London theater IN
the early morning and found to his
horror that four lions, which were
housed there, had broken from their
cage. One gave him blow with its
paw, then took him in its mouth. The
blow from a lions paw is said to be-,
after the stroke Of q whales tail and
the kick Of a giraffe, the strongest
thing in nature. so that the victim was
dead when the keeper went to the res
cue. Only one lion had concerned it
self with the man and was now sitting
over him as a dog sits over a bone.
Two Of the lions were playing on the
stage with property" garland. and
the fourth was seated in the royal box,
placidly surveying the gambols on the
stage and the terrible banquet in the
auditorium. The murderer relinquished
its prey Immediately its master ap-
peared, and all four bolted for their
den like children detected in some mis-
conduct.-St. James Gazette.

The Way You Do 1t.

One reads that Darwin never under
stood an equation, and the chances are
that Isaac Newton could not have pass
ed any examination In literary or aes-
thetic subjects, with his idea that
poetry was ingenious nonsense and
statuary only stone dolls. Faraday
had no gift for mathematics, and it is
q mooted question if Napoleon Bona
parte could have passed college en-
trance examination in French. But it
was their ability to do some one thing
well that has turned the world upside
down at various times in its forward
march, rot their inability to do badly
what all the world only does moderate
ly well. 1t makes little difference what
you do-the difference lies in the way
you do it. The business world is over
stocked with poor people looking for
good positions, while good positions are
waiting for good people to fill them.

An .udacious schoo1boy.

The audacity of Warren Hastings
as Westminster schoolboy in carving
his name beneath the clock on the
western tower Of the abbey pales be-
fore the ardacity Of another Westmin-
ster schoolboy, who secreted himself in
the abbey in fulfllment of 4 wager
that he would sleep in the abbey, not
withstanding the report that the ghost
Of Bradshaw, the president Of the court
at the trial Of Charles l., who in the
time of the commonwealth occupied
the deanery, haunted the building. He
spent the night in the abbey cad occu-
pied his time in carving his name on
the coronation chair, which bears to
this day the following rudely cut in
scription: Il, Peter Abbott, slept in this

Writing \ Letter.

A letter is written conversation and
should be simple, cordial and with a

When discouraged, sick or SAD do not
write. a letter carries atmosphere.
Never write anything over your sigma
ture of which you might later be asham-.

are like debts-harder to pay when over
due. Read over your friends letterjust
before beginning your reply and then
answer it. Out Of the heart letters sare

An Odd Old Custom.

Citizens Of the old Deyonshire town
of Honiton, in England, are immune
from arrest until sunset one evening,
for while the horse fair is in progress
the arm Of the law is powerless. This
is In continuation Of a quaint and pic
turesque ceremonial which has been
handed down from the time Of Henry
III. When the horse fair begins the
town crier, in the gorgeous dress OF a
beadle Of the last century, appears car
rying a pole, at the end Of which is a
large gilt glove decked with flowers.
Having rung his handbell three times,
the crier, in his three cornered hat, an
nounced: "Oyez, oyez, oyez! The fair
is begun; the glove is up; no man can
be arrested till the glove is down. God
save the king" Each sentence is cho-
rused by the children standing round
and at the conclusion they scramble for
nuts. The glove is taken down at sun

Origin OF Lilac.

Both name and tree are Of Persian
origin, but came to US through Turkey.
The name means "bluish" fsSe Skeat}
and indicates the color Of the flower.
The tree is said to have been brought
to Vienna by Busbecq late in the SIX
teenth century The first mention of
the name have seen IN English is in,
Gerard, where it: is given as "iillach or
lilach" and is said to have been applied
by ''the later physitians" to Syringa
caerulea, OF "blew pipe" BY which ev-
,idently Gerard means the lilac.
AThese trees" he says, grow not
wild in England, but have seen them
growing in my garden in great plenty"
There are, as is well known, different
varieties, some white, some different
shades CT purple.
The lilac, says some punster slyly,
Is named from smelling like a lily!
He must have thought Us wondrous silly
We know the sound Of IN lily.

Qualities Unlike In the Sexes.

"a man is q man down to his thumbs
and a woman is q woman down to her
little toes" writes Dr.. Havelfck Ellis
in his book Men and Women" There
is hardly a measurable quality OF any
sort which is not unlike in the TWO
sexes. Women even button their gar
ments on the other side from that cho-
sen by men and choose Sunday instead
Of Monday as their favorite day for
making way with themselves. So Tar
as laboratory tests go DR.. Ellis says
that women are unquestionably su-
perior in general tactile .sensibidty and
probably superior in the discrimination
Of tastes, with no advantage either
way in the case Of the other senses.
Women have better memories, read
more rapidly, bear pain better, recover
better from wounds and serious illness,
are less changed by old age and i've
longer,

A Shot From Behind.

One of the most interesting features
CT the tragedy in 1859, in which King
Kamehameha ". shot bis secretary,
Mr. Nelson, arises from the manner ID
which the monarch fred his revolver.
It is said that both men were IN
room alone and were drinking beer.
The king walked over to a n1antel
above which was hung large looking
glass. He toyed with a revolver for
awhile, his back to his victim, and
then, taking note Of Nelson's position

means Of the mirror, be pointed the

A Ha,r Cut That Made War.


The cropping Of the flowing locks
and beard Of Louis VII. Of France
brought on three centuries Of blood
shed. The archbishop Of Rome had
decreed thatithe French king. as pen
ance, should shave and have his hair
cut short His appearance so star
tied and amused. his spouse, Queen
Eleanor, that she laughed aloud and
began contemptuously to firt with the
Count Of Anjou, afterward Henry II.
Of England. The shorn king stood
the disgrace for a time, but at last
sent evidence Of his grievance to the
pope and obtained divorce. Eleanor
then married Henry, and as her dover
the rich provinces Of Poitou and Gui-
enne passed into his hands. Louis
made hot attacks on Normandy, and
devastating wars, which continued for
some 800 years, were the consequence
oS this cropping OF nonarch's head.

Under wise and frugal Democratic
management she outlived them all
and became the fifth state in the ma.

history has she been the subj ct Of

following the last election, when
apathy caused about fifty thousand
good Democrats to stay at home
For years the republicans of Missouri
hove pleaded To be given Il chance
aud they would sstonish the world
by bringing the state out OF the ruts.
They could not establish that there
had been incompetency, or extrava-
gance in the management of the
states affairs, but they pleaded that
a change would give confidence to
the residents OF other states seeking
investments and homes, that lands
would be Immediately increased In
value and the Republicans would run

PASSED THE DIVORCE BILL.
A House Measure Will Keep
Guilty Persons Single for
Awhile.

Jefferson City, Feb. 6-The kies
divorce bill came up 10 the house this
morning. The bill provides that in
all cas's OF divorce the guilty person
shall be barred for u term of two
years lrOm again entering marriage
except that where the divorce has
been granted on the grounds oiadnl.
terry the guilty rerson shall be barred
for term Of five years and the per.
son securing the divorce shall he dis
qaailded from marriage for Que YEAR
from the date OF the decree Divorced
persons may remarry each other at
any time. Violations Of the law
shall be regarded us bixamy and
shall be punished as such. The bin
was passed by IA large vote.
Governor Folk undoubtedly will
sign the bill il it reaches him. There
is some doubt about the senate pass.
Ing it unless there is some agitation
In its favor. The senate has been
more favorable to this class OF bills
this winter than usual.
Austin, Tex, Feb. 6.-The lower
house OF the state legislature passed
the senate bill today forcing persons
giving ground for action in divorce
cases to remain single for three
years aud the other parties to the
divorce to remain single one year.
This is the elimination OF the cru
sade which has been waged against
divorce for some time. The govern.
or will probably sign the bill.
