The Lions Attack.

AS to lions method Of attack Fred
ericls Courteney Selous says in his
book: "As q rule, think, a lion seizes
q sleeping man by the head, and in
that case, unless it is q very old and
weakly animal, death must usually be
instantaneous, as its 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.. Sclous:
Ny experience is that when q single
lion tries to kill an OK or c buffalo it
invariably se;Zes 1t near the muZZle
with enc paw and usually succeeds in
either breaking its victims neck or
causing it to break it itself BY its cT1
weight in falling. When several lions
attack en- OK. or a buffalo they will
often bite and tear it all over and take
a long time to kill it,

INDIAN MARRIAGES.
Peculiar Rites Of the Hopi and the
Navajo Tribes.

Peculiar Rites Of the Hopi and the
Navajo Tribes.
Marriage among the Topi, a tribe Of
the Pueblo Indians, is an institution
regarding which those most concerned
have least to say. When the parents
of a girl find it expedient for her to
get married, they look up an available
man and negotiate with his parents.
After the matter has been arranged
the principals are notified. The girl goes
to the home Of the groora's parents
and grinds corn for them for three
weeks, while the groom makes kind
Of sash for the bride. Then one morn
ing at sunrise they both oathe their
heads in cold water, which completes
the ceremony. There have been in
stances Of the groom's refusing to so
through The performance, which has
then proceeded without him and been
accounted valid, and several weeks
later he has yielded and had his head
bathed.
The Navajo ceremony is much more
elaborate and impressive, but then the
Navajo girls are much nicer. The reg
ular tariff on a Navajo girl entering
the port Of matrimony for the first
time is twelve horses. On the second
occasion the tax IS nine horses, while
subsequent entries are free.
This is not purchase money. but is
merely q tribute Of respect to 4
mother-in-law and 4 token Of apprecia
ton Of the care and expense involved
in bearing and rearing the lady, .
recognition not unworthy Of considera-
ton by civilized grooms. On the other
hand, and deserving Of great condem-
nation, is that law Of many tribes, u
written. but Of much sanctity, that 4

A SURPRISED SW0RDSMAN.
Judge Gofe's Play With Dragging
Fencing Master.

Judge GoTfe's Play With Dragging
Fencing Master.
4 fencing master appeared in Boston
one winter in the seventeenth century
and had erected q stage on which be
struttcd up and down at certain hours,
dcfying any and all to engage in sword
play with him.
After this had gone on for several
days and the mans boasts had be-
come irsufferable Judge William Gofe
and Edward Whalley, the famous Eng
lish political refugees, disguised them
selves in rustic costume and appeared
before the alleged master. Goffe held
in ore hand a cheese wrapped in a
napkin, which he used for a shield.
and carried q mop which be had soak
ed In muddy water as he passed pud-
die.
Thus equipped, the judge mounted
the stage. The fencer rallied at him
for his impudence, asked him what
business he had there and ordered him
to begone. The judge stood his ground.
Then the gladiator made l pass at him
with his sword 10 drive him off. The
Judge received the sword in his cheese
and held it there till he had drawn
the mop over the professors face and
smeared him with mud. Another
plunge by the enragcd maitre d'armes
resulted similarly, this time the judge
poling the mop into his eyes. This
operation was repeated q third time.
Then the maddened fencing master
dropped his ordinary sword and grab
bed up huge broadsvord. Thereunon
the Judge said:
stop. sir. Hitherto, you see, have
only played With you and not attempt
ed to do you harm, but if you come at
me now with the broadsword know
that I Will certainly take your life
The master was impressed by the
fr,nness With which the judge spoke,
for he dropped the point of his weapon
and exclaimed: "Who can You be: You
must be either Gonfe, Whalley or the
devil for there was no other man in
England that could beat me!'-Boston
