A MIGHTY LION HUNTER.

Among the passengers on board the
steamship Koenig Albert, which ar
rived at Hoboken to-day, were Mr.. and
Mrs. r. F. Doucet, of Montreal, Can
ada, who have just returned from Cen
trail and Eastern Africa, where they
have been for the past seven years.
They made their headquarters in Num-
bassa, South Africa. They brought
with them a number of curios which
had been given them by the natives,
including an African war guh.~
: Just before leaving for this country
they met Captain Stedand, of the
Kings African Rifles. Just before the
train left Mumbassa, four lions made
heir appearance, and Mr. Doucet says
that Captain Stedand shot them, but
not until his right arm and shoulder
had been so badly lacerated that it had
to be amputated later in the dsy. The
officer shot the fohf beast, but one OF
them was not seriously injured and
again attacked him, succeeding in bad.

SAVED BY a

Mr.. Becke, the author Of "Notes From
My South Sea Log" tells Of his tutor,
who seemed to him the most heroic
man in the world because he had been
through the first Maori war, and be-
cause of an adventure. which there be-
fell him, and which is given as fol-
lows:
Poor Guy, such was the tutors name,
was a lieutenant, and he and two com
panions were captured by the Maoris.
They were taken inside the stockade,
and the chief, taking up one of the
captured seamen's %cutlasses, felt its
edge, and then fixed his keen Eyes
on the young officers face.
II shall not harm these two meC Of
yours" he said slowly. "They shall
so safely back to your lines if" He
paused, and a grim smile distorted his
tattooed face.
eff what?' asked Guy, calmly.
eff you will stretch out your right
hand SO that I may cut 1t off at the
wrist, swiftly, no further harm shall
come TO you, and you, too, shall so
free"
"Will you keep your %'ord?"
"Aye. I, TIE Atua Vera. am 10 liar"
Guy nodded, quietly took off his coat
and held out his left hand.
"Strike," he said.
The chief again smiled. "Thou art
as cunning as thou art brave. I said
the right hand"
Guy let fall his left and extended his
right ARM. Re Atua Vera stepped
back a pace. raised the cutlass-and
struck the point Of it into the ground.
Then he bent forward and gravely
rubbed noses With Guy.
CO." he said. aDut come back no
more" So Guy and the two sailors
were allowed to return to Despard's
lines unframed.

RAFTING ON THE WISCONSIN.

At the mills they made up the big
RATS according to a certain system. A
crib was made of boards, say, sixteen
feet long, and vas built in layers, cob
house fashion. until it was perhaps a
couple Of feet deep, all fastened by
long hard wood pegs. Seven of these
cribs made a "piece," and three pieces,
side by side, dashed together by lines
fastened to the boats. made what was
called a "Wisconsin river raft" That
was about as large as a raft could be
and u safely the various dams and
bars and rapids. After they got to the
mouth of the Wisconsin the men would
shift these pieces and bunch up a
number of Wisconsin river RATS into
one vast. s1OW-mOving snake of avn
timbers, q thing Of terror to all the
steamboats, on the river, until at last
it found its %restination, perhaps tying
| up at some bayou far down toward st.
Louis. Once such a raft piled up Oh
the middle pier of the Dubuque bridge,
and ran up the abutment to the bridge
floor, frightening half to death some
300 gaping folk who had come out to
see the wild men go through. But that
was merely an incident. 1t was mere
ly an incident if at night the men,
asleep and forgetful of the green lights
which ought to show that they were
running, awoke under a volley Of pro-
family and saw looming before they,
the bow Of some river steamer, whose
captain and pilot objurgated them by
all the saints Of the river to have a bet
ter care for the observance of the law.

KNITTED
Coffee knitted an Old, Soldier.

An old soldier, released from coffee
at Y, recovered his health and tells
about it as follows:
IL stuck to coffee for years, although
1t knitted me again and again.
"About eight years ago (as a result
Of coffee drinking which congested my
fver), I was taken with a very severe
attack Of malarial feTer.

fer a relapse. After this had been re-
peated several times during thu year l

I was very much taken back by the
doctors decision for / hadn't suspected
the coffee 1 drank could possibly u
my troubles.
II thought it over for a few minutes
and finally told the doctor I would
make the change. Postum was pro-
erred for me the same day and made
according to directions: we'll, l liked -
and stuck to it and since then l have
been q new man. The change in health
began in a few days and surprised me,
and now. although I am seyenty-two

like the Postum as we'll as I did coffee.
II have known people who did 10.
care for Postum at first. but after nav.

it as we'll as coffee. I never miss :

SHOT EAGLES FROM A TRAIN.
