OVER A CLIFF.

To go out after game in the hill
country of India means that the hunter
will find game, says Captain Glasfurd,
the author of Rifle and Romance In
the Indian Jungle" One morning, fol.
lowed by his shikarees, or native hunt
ers, Captain Glasfurd was out looking
over a rough hillside for bear. He had
passed round the curve of high ledge,
when he found himself In front of a
large, low-roofed cave. On the sandy
floor of the entrance to the cave were
the fresh lngolng tracks of bear.
Our position was a sufficiently haz-
Ardous one. The ledge was extremely
narrow, overhung by rock, and on the
verge of a perpendicular face of sand.
stone. We began quietly retracing our
way. But scarcely had we taken one
step when a horrible disturbance oc-
Cured In the depths of the cavern.
This fastened our movements but our
haste was as nothing compared to the
rapidly of the eruption that was going
on behind us as the bear came yelling
and scrambling out of the cavern. For
me there was nothing but a swift whip
round to face this horrid denouement,

John Camden Nelld, whose magnin-

the funds out of which the prince con-
sort built the present Balmoral castle,

him In possession Of fortune OF 2oo'-

That this is nonsense appears from the
fact that Americans taken In childhood
to England speak with an English ac-
cent There can be no question as to
the marked divergence of English and
American speech, particularly In the
matter of information. American speech
Is much more monotonous and less
spontaneous, the regular fall OF tho
voice at the close OF sentences being
perhaps bookish rather than CONVERSE
tional. Thus American speech, among
the cultivated, is apt to be simple, even
and logical. like 4 page OF print, while
