The licn's Attack.

AS to a lions method of attack Fred
erick Courteney Selous says in his
book: "As a rule, 1 think, lion seizes
a sleeping man by the head, and in
that case, unless it is a very old and
weakly animal, death must usually be
instantaneous. as it's great fang teeth
will be driven into the brain through
the thickest negro skull" Similarly,
when q lion attacks an animal it tries
to get at the head or the throat-at the
vitals Of the animal. Says Mr.. Selous:
my experience is that when a single
lion tries to kill an OK or a buffalo it
invariably seiZes it near the muzzle
with one paw and usually succeeds in
either breaking its victims neck or
causing it to break it itself by its own
weight in falling. When several lions
attack an OK or a buffalo they will
often bite and tear it all over and take
a long time to kill it."

WONDERFUL MIRAGES.
False Peak of Tensrife and illusions
In the Dardanelles.

The peak of Tenerife is known among
deep sea sailors as the false peak"
Owing to some popularity of the at
mosphere it is always seen by mirage
in exactly the opposite direction from
which it lies, and only the fact that all
captains know that the mirage appears
long before the true peak is visible
through the most powerful glass pre-
vents many ship from sailing many
miles out of her course. 1t is hard for
a greenhorn to believe that the majes-
tic purple mountain towering aStern or
on the port beam apparently only
short distance off is in reality miles
away in exactly the opposite direction
and the seemingly solid earth at which
he is gazing is only reflection on the
clear mirror of the air. Many weird
tales are told of shipwrecked men who
have steered for the false peak in the
expectation of finding land and have
persisted of hunger and thirst while
pursuing the phantom mountain.
Sometimes the passengers and crew
of vessel on the lookout for the false
peak see much rarer and more beau
tiful mirage. that of a ship in the sky.
1t usually appears about 10 o'clock in
the morning, about ten degrees above
the horizon and under full sail, every
delicate spar and tapering mast clearly
visible against the blue ether and even
the play of light and shadow in the
bellying canvas plainly discernible to
the naked eye. 1t generally remains in
sight half an hour or more before
gracefully fading away. The oldest
mariner can never remember having
seen the mirage of a steamer in that
latitude, but always that of full rig
ged ship. and this peculiar fact has
given birth to many romantic legends
about the ship in the sky, all connect
ing it in some way with the false peak.
The vicinity of the Dardanelles is
the real home of mirag es. and it is sell
dom that any vessel sails along the
Syrian coast without seeing one or
more. Oddly enough, the mirages of
the Dardanelles are always the reflec-
tons of objects that can be seen with
the naked eye and are invariably dis
torted in grotesque and fantastic carl
catures of the things reflected 1t is
certainly startling to see a steamer
bearing down with her masts where
her water line and should be and the
water line where the tops of the masts
and funnel ought to show. while her
decks are in the right place, thus add
ing to her uncanny appearance, but
this is a frequent sight near the Oar
danelles. There is one peculiar feature
of the mirages which hover near the
false peak-the real objects Of which
they are reflections are so far away
that very often they are never sighted
until long after the reflection has van
ished, and sometimes not at au.-New

MONARCHY is RAIMENT.
Clothing Is the Power That Governs
the Human Race.

There is no power without clothes. 1t
Is the power that governs the human
race. Strip its chiefs to the skin, and
no state could be governed; naked Of
ficials could exercise no authority: they
would look land be- like everybody
else-commonplace, inconsequential. A
policeman in plain clothes is one man;
in his uniform he is ten. Clothes and
title are the most potent thing, the
most formidable influence. In the earth.
They move the human race to willing
and spontaneous respect for the judge,
the general, the admiral. the bishop,
the ambassador, the frivolous earl, the
idiot duke, the sultan, the king. the
emperor. No great title is efficient
without clothes to support 1t. In naked
tribes of savages the kings wear some
kind of rag or decoration which they
make sacred to themselves and allow
no one else to wear. The king of the
great Fan tribe wears n bit of leopard
skin on his shoulder-it Is sacred TO
royalty; the rest of him is perfectly
naked. Without his bit of leopard skin
to awe and impress the people he
would not be able to keep his job

Curious Old Laws.

Some of the old laws of Nepal, India.
were curious. killing cows ranked
with murder as capital offense, for
instance. Every girl at birth was mar
ried with great ceremony to a betel
fruit which was then cast into a sa-
cred stream. AS the fate Of the fruit
was uncertain the girl was supposed
never to become a widow. To obtain
divorce from a husband a wife had
only to place a betel nut under his pill
low and depart. In Nepal the day is
considered to begin when it is light
enough to count the tiles on the roof
or distinguish the hairs on a mans
hand against the sky.

consisted in working at times in the

COUNCIL ROU TIN E
Several Matters Given Consid-
GRAFTON by City Fathers
Last Night.
REPORT OF LIGHT PLANT.

Council devoted much of its time
last evening to the Dayton & Western
franchise matter, but found time to
transact some other business.
An ordinance was passed at the re-
quest of City Controller Webster Par
ry appropriating $3.50 for the pur-
chase of new hose and an additional
dump wagon for the street cleaning de-
partment; for boarding prisoners at
the county Jail convicted of violations
of the lettering ordinance and for the
expense of securing new Office books,
required by the new depository law.
Must Provide Ducts.
Mr.. Deuker stated that he thought
the city should now demand that fire
alarm wires be placed under ground,
calling attention to the fact that the
Central Union and the Home tele-
phone companies were now working
under the terms of their franchises
ducts must be provided for the fire
alarm wires. He said that Chief Mil
Ter Of the fire department was only too
willing to assist in this work.
Mr.. O'Neal of the board of public
works stated that the hoard had this
matter under consideration. Arrange
ments had been made to place fire
alarm wires in the conduit of the Cen
trail Union company, but the work on
this conduit had been suspended. Now
that the Central Union and the Home
companies had entered into an agree
msnt Mr.. O'Neal thought that ar
rangements would soon be completed
to have the city's wires taken care Of.
Mr.. Engelbert stated that the road
leading up Newman's hill northwest
part of the city was in such bad condi-
ton that the people residing there
were complaining that it is impossi-
BILE for them to have groceries, meats.
ETC., delivered to their homes. He also
stated that the foot bridge over the
river at the base of the hill was in a
bad condition.
Mr.. Deuker stated that North D
street was in bad condition, being
filled with chuck holes and otherwise
the worse for wear. He asked that
this street be improved.

Hot Weather Breakfasts
Served Free
If you still go without M pl-Fake, let furnish
package free. This the ideal breakfast Don't wait till
summer is over before you know this fact.

These are not good days for fad foods. Hot
weather is the time for whole wheat
Wheat is the food of the ages. The time will
never come when other cereals can take the
place of wheat.
1t is douby important now because it pro-
duces the minimum heat. And it gives the max
nlum nourishnent
Heat-producing foods, in summer, should be
sparingly employed. At least one meal a day
should be Mapl-F1ake and fruit. Comfort
and health demand it.
But wheat uncooked would be ndgestble.
And wheat half-cooked would only half digest.
The particles must be separated by a fierce
heat SO the digestive juices get to them.
Else part of the wheat goes to waste Worse
than that, it fernents and causes digestive dis
orders.
Even mere economy requires that the wheat
be prepared in the proper way.
So we spend 90 hours to make Mapl-F1ake.
1t could be prepared, fakes are, in IS or
20 hours.
We steam-cook the wheat for six hours. Then
we cure it for days-a partial digestive process.
Then we fake each separate berry so thin
that the full heat of our ovens can attack every
particle.
Then those thin fakes are toasted 80 minutes
In heat of 400 degrees.

ONE OF NATURES TOOLS.
How Teazels Are Used In Finishing
Different Cloths.

D1uerent CLOTHS.
Growing by the wayside you will Of
ten see that stately, spiny looking
plant, the teazel. but I wonder how
many know that it has helped to finish
many a piece of cloth they wear.
We are apt to think of a tool as
something Of mans make, yet here is
one Of natures own, and nothing has
ever been manufactured to successful
ly take its place. For ages the teazel
has been used for fulling cloth-that
is, raising the "nap''-and the manu-
facturers refer to map goods" thus
treated as "gigged."
When ripe, the dried spike heads are
gathered. packed carefully in bundles
and shipped in all directions to facto-
ries. The variety mostly used have
the extreme end of the spikes hooked
or curved backward. This is called
''fullers' teazel" These heads form
sort Of brush and are attached to a
wheel or cylinder which revolves
against the surface Of the cloth, and
tucSc CuENcu spikes CdICn part OF IQ0
threads and pull them up, making a
fuzzy nap. This is trimmed down and
leaves that soft. velvety finish to the
cloth. Thespikes have strength enough
and elasticity, but when they come in
contact with rough place in the cloth
they break and so avoid tearing the
material. Try as they may, no one has
ever been able to invent tool possess
ing-an Of these qualities, so the teazel
stands unriyaled for that use. The
plant as we see it growing wild looks
perhaps at first glance somewhat like
a thistle, but it really has a dignity
and character all its own. The heads
in flower are covered with a fluffy
down. lavender or white, and as the
blossoms drop spikes appear until lat
er 1t fairly bristles. The leaves, point
ed and spiked. shooting out each side
Of the stem. meet at the base and form
little basin in which is usually wa
ter. So we have the name of the plant
from the Greek "dipsacus," meaning
thirsty. and many other fanciful ones,
such as Venus cup. Venus bath, wood
or church brooms, gypsy combs, cloth
ter's brush, etc.-St. Nicholas.
