PASSING OF THE LION.
once Mighty Brute Losing Ground
Before Civilization


The lion, like the other great cats. is
relic of n diminishing race and do
minion. In the early stone age the
cave" lion roamed throughout the
southern half of Europe, and it is be-
heyed that along tine Mediterranean. at
least, its extinction was due to prehis-
toric man.
The battle has gone on ever since.
Long ago lions were exterminated
from Afghanistan, Baluchistan and
northern Persia. A century ago they
were more or less prevalent on north
western India, but now none remain
save few in the Cheer, wooded
billy tract of Kattiawar, where they
are ito some extent preserved by the
nawabs of Joonaghoor;" Farsistan
where the marshes about Mrs lake af
ford shelter and the hosts of PIGS
feeding on the acorns of the oak forests
furnish subsistence
Similar conditions enable o few lions
to maintain themselves along the lower
Euphrates and Tigris, but they were
long ago exterminated from all Asia
Minor. Syria. Arabia Egypt and Alge-
ria. From Abyssinia and the southern
Sahara southwark to the Orange river
lions still exist except in the most pom
ulous districts, and in some places are
very numerous.
There seems never to have been more
than one species, nor, in spite of the
former belief in the ''maneless lions of
Guzerat' and the ''black named, ones
OF other places, is any variety well To-
calized. Lions with full names have
been shot in India as well as those
| with hardly any, and tout of fifty male
lion skins scarcely two will be found
alike in color and length of mane."-

SAINT or THE COOKS.
A Queen of the Culinary Art Who
Lived In Genoa.


Santa Zita, as the patron saint of the
cooks is named, lived, it appears, at
Genoa and was there canonized. She
could. SO runs the legend, cook better
than any chef within 300 miles of the
town, which, we all know. is noted for
its wonderful soups and dumpiings.

gestible article Of food outrivaled by
Vienna. since it is one of the chief ar
t;cles in the religion of gastronomy
that it is only in the kaiserstadt that
the '.glose" is in perfection. Santa
Zita was, it seems, not less famous for
her piety than for cooking and was a
constant attendant at the cathedral
during high mass.
One day, however, she fell into a
trance, so called-though. in plain Eng
fish, good, sound sleep-and quite
forgot that she had to produce an ex-
ceptionally fine dinner for large COM
pany On awakening she hurried forth
from the sacred edifice in way which
was far indeed from her wont, but on
reaching the kitchen what was her
surprise and delight to find party of
eherub celestials busy cooking the re-
CURED dinner. She did not interfere
but was at first not unwilling to accept
the praise which was lavished on heI
culinary success. She soon repented
however, and told the world the truth
about the spiritual and miraculous hell
she had received. and it was agreed or
all sides that she deserved to be canon
lied. Accordingly she became Santa
Zita,-London Queen.

Not an Easy Feat to Twist Bank
ELL In Two.
THE paper that is used by the gov
eminent in its currency is manufac-
tured by a secret process and has char
acterist.cs with which the average man
is not familiar" said a Minneapolis
man.
Recently was in small Minnesota
town and witnessed an incident that
demonstrates this. A well to do farm
err living in the vicinity came into the
bank to transact some business. In the
course of the conversation the cashier
began twisting a five dollar bill. The
farmer watched him with interest and
finally asked the man back of the
counter if he wasn't afraid of tearing
the BILL
Here is an easy way for you to
earn money said the cashier Here is
a thousand dollar bill and l will give
it TO you if you viii twist the bin in
two. You are simply to twist it and
not tear it,
1.-The farmer seemed dumfounded at
first. He seemed awed at the thought
of mutilating a thousand dollar bill.
Upon further assurance by the officer
or the bank, he timidly took the money
and started twisting it in the middle
He tugged away for some time without
being able to twist the bin in two.
Finally he gave up, and he was GER
tainly a surprised farmer. 1t is i'm
possible to twist bill in two, so firm
and elastic is the paper used."-Ex-

 Leak Bill Assured.

Washington, February 26-(Special)- Under authority of the Alabama legisla- ture a resolution will be introduced in the House within a few days by mem- Der of the Alabama delegation, probably Representative Bowie, authorizing the Congress of the United States to accept from the state of Alabama the statue of Jabez Lamar Monroe Curry, one of the states distinguished sons, which it is proposed to place in statuary hall.
 Every state is entitled to two statues in the hall and the Alabama legislature has selected Curry as one of them. The statue has been completed by the noted New York sculptor, Sodini, and will be sent to Washington as soon as the resolution is passed. 1t is declared to be a splendid piece of work. Sodini. durilg Colonel Curry's life, made a bust of him and that experience made him pre-eminently fitted for the work he has undertaken.
 The Curry statue will be the first of a Confederate soldier to rest in statuary hall. The late colonel was an aide on the state of Gen. Joe Johnson and Gen. Joe Wheeler. There will possibly be some objection to the placing of statue of a Confederate soldier in statuary hall on the part of northern members of Congress but now that forty years have passed, the hope Is expressed that the res olution will go through without objection.
 The resolution will name an early date for the formal acceptance of the statue, when members of the Ala abama delegation will make addresses. Governor Jelks and other state officials will probably be present

Public Meeting Develops Into Riot in Which Several
 Catholics are Killed
ROOSEVELT BEGINS ID
 DOUBT THEIR GOOD FAITH
PekIn Insists That the Government Is Able to Handle All Local Disturb ances and That American
 Troops Are Unnecessary.

Shanghai, February 26.-Somewhat con- fused reports have reached here of mas sacre of missionaries at Nanchang, pro- vince of Kiangs. As nearly as can be aseertained six missionaries were killed, and one child of an English missionary was wounded.
 It is alleged that after long continued disputes between the Catholic priests and the Chinese magistrate of Nanchang the priests invited the magistrate to ban quet where they tried to compel him to sign an agreement for the payment of large indemnity for the destruction of Catholic mission property.
 According to one report the magistrate became indignant and committed suicide, but the Chinese assert that a priest at tackled and killed him. The officials fear ing to arrest the priest called a public meeting, whereupon the Catholics, ac- cordlng to the Chinese version of the trou- ble, set fire to their own premises. The public meeting of the Chinese developed into riot, into which according to one story. six of the Catholics were killed, though later account says the number of catholics killed was four.
 H. c. Kingman, a Protestant mission ary, and his wife, also were killed, and one of their two children was wounded, the other being rescued. The only ProtesA tant mission buildings destroyed were those of the Plymouth brethren.

Says Six Were Killed.

Pekin, February 26.-The government has received a brief report from the gov- erhor of Nanchang concerning the mur- der of the missionaries there He states that he has suppressed the rioting and sent the surviving foreigners in boats to Kiukiang for safety.
 The governors report states that six Catholic missionaries were killed, beside an English family of four. An English missionary named Marr is believed to have escaped, slightly injured. Bunting and Fife are also believed to have es- capped.
 According to the official report the trouble arose in the course of a law suit in the magistrates yamen court in which the Catholics became involved. The fight occurred in yamen. The English mission aries were in no wise concerned, but Sunday morning a mob attacked the mis- sions indiscriminately. Sir F. M Satow, the British minister at Pekin, has tele- graphed to the British consul at Kiukiang to proceed to Nanchang taking gun boat as far as possible to investigate the facts of the massacre and help the sur yiYOrS,
