was just long enough to hide his
body from me, except when he was
actually bounding in his stride. II
| had risen to my feet, of course, l
could have seen him more clearly,
but l had thought the whole thing
out beforehand and had determined
to remain seated. With elbow on
knee, you have an absolutely. steady
rest and are not as apt to throw away
a shot as you may be standing up.
so I sat fast, determined not to
fire again until could kill him dead,
even if l had to let him come to

knew, besides, that 1 had hit him
hard at the first shot, and / hoped l
had landed the second, but could not
be sure. l did not believe he could
last the distance, certainly not at the
pace he started. One more reason

| first lion. It was all-important to
| give my gun bearers confidence. If
I stood up they might be dancing
round me and, in spite Of the awful

way of doing; whereas if I sat, they
must sit, too; and sitting sobered
them.
Knocks Out Native With Elbow.
II glanced at my men quickly as
the lion made that grand rush over
the first. hundred yards, and it was
we'll I did. My Wakamba, Brownie,
was sitting still as a stone. But the
Somali, Dooda, his eyes and teeth
cleaning, raised my double .450 to
his shoulder and was on the point of
firing when I hit him a smart rap
under the chin with my right elbow,
which had the effect of putting him
and the gun out of commission for a
few minutes.
cat about fifty yards the lion
raised his head high above the grass
and slowed down to a trot, and, as
I saw his breast, I shot full into it,
and the great dark head and yellow
eyes sank slowly from sight again.
There vas just n instant's pause,
and out of the grass came the big
forefeet and the tip of the tail. He
was dead without a groan. I turned
as quickly as I could to see what had
become Of the rest, and I was only
in time to fire at a large lioness as
she made off in the grass. I missed
her, and, to tell the truth, did not
care. I had drunk deep just then
and was quite contented to let the
whole family of them go. Had I not
seen the great paws of the king him
self stretched upward TO the sky?
my men ran to the anthill and
could count the troop as they crossed
the distant rise Of land. When they
returned they told me that they had
counted eight lionesses and half
grown or three-quarter-grown cubs.
I went over and stood by my first
lion. He was a magnificent fellow
indeed, very large and in fine condi-
ton, with a quite first class name.
AS he lay dead, the tape, passed from
the tip Of the nose to the tip Of the
tail, gave him 10 feet 5 inches; the
stretched skin was IL feet 6 inches"

San Juan. The bid was $4,000.
The total cost Of the Capitol when
completed will be 100000.
The Senate, House of Representa-
tives and Supreme Court will occupy
the Capitol. Work will begin at once.
Three schooner loads of cement will
be shipped to San Juan from New
York for it's construction. The build
ing is of Greek design.
Speaking of the construction of the
building, Mr.. Perkins, who received
the American contractors bids, said:
"The Capitol will be erected with
the possibility of earthquake in view.

the Porto Rican Council to date, but
before this session of the body is yer
another 100000 appropriation is ex-

at the direction of the Commissioner
of the Interior of Porto Rico certain
things may be eliminated, and thus
bring the bid down to the $500, 000."

Boiled Egg Test.

An almost sure way Of telling
whether an egg has reached the point
of being boiled just the right time for
soft boiling is to lift it in a spoon
and allow it to be exposed to the air.
If when this is done the egg dries
off Immediately, you may be sure the
egg is boiled to the proper consist
ency. 1t is not necessary to time the
boiling Of an egg by a watch if this
method is tried.-New York Sun.

Cushion Covers.

Burlap and craftsman's canvas are
much used for cushion covers, and
really beautiful effects may be
brought out with very little effort. A
design, conventional or otherwise, cut
from cretonne and applied with an
embroidery stitch, will make a brave
showing at the expense of little time
or trouble. Another of feathers
drawn diagonally across the pillow
and worked with mercerized canvas
is 81 a yard up, fifty inches wide.
Burlap is inexpensive.-New Haven
Register.

Also within the mask is a rubber
pipe, by which air can be blown into
the bags, forcing the features in this
way to protrude through the holes

The effect thus produced by the

tremely funny. He can at will force

To Keep Flies Off.

A charming gift for the new baby,
and one that is seldom given, is a
cover to slip over the baby carriage,
or crib, while the infant sleeps.
This should be made Of wash net,
of a fine mesh, bound all around with
three-inch white satin ribbon.
Use the full width Of the double
net and cut the corner either square
or oblong, as it adapts itself to the
size Of the crib or coach.-New York

LITTLE
TARIFF
JOKER
Senator AIdriCh PleaseS Manu-
faCturerS of New England
by Giving Them Fuel
from Nova Scotia

Washington. July "a feature
of the coal tariff adopted by the SEN
ate that has received little attention
but is likely to bring great comfort
to New England manufacturers Is
the duty on slack. The rate fixed on
the latter is 10 cents a ton, which
is the next thing to free fuel.
It was not always thus In the
Dingley law no distinction was made
between coal and slack and the duty
on each was ca cents a ton. In the
Payne bill the Dingley rate was re-
tanned with the very important pro-
vision that coal should be admitted
free from any country that admitted
American coal free OF duty.
Senator Aldrich struck out the re-
ciprocal clause and recommended
duty of so cents a ton on coal and
Is cents a ton on slack.
It happens that slack Is subject
of no interest 10 the householder,
but constitutes the entire fuel prob
lem for most of the manufacturers
within reach OF the bitnminous fuel
supply. Even under present condi-
tions, because II Is cheaper than
coal, slack 70 the amount OF hund-
reds OF thousands of tons Is i'm
ported by New England manufactur-
ers from Nova Scotia. II the SEN
ate tariff bill becomes law then there
will be a strong additional reason
for favoring II and hundreds OF
manufacturers now using coal VIII
turn TO slack. The price now In
it's favor will be increased by the
difference in the duty which will be
45 cents a ton.
This fact has not escaped the at
tention of the American coal pro-
ducers and all possible pressure Will
be brought on the house conference
committee to refuse to accept the
senate differential.
Senator Burton OF Ohio, who was
most active in the efforts made In the
senate TO bring about acceptance OF
the free coal proposition OF the
houqe spoke particularly for the coal
producers OF Ohio and the northern
part OF West Virginia. They ship
millions OF tons OF coal into the CEN
trail part of Canada every year. IL
has been said that the Grand Trunk
railway, which gets much OF its fuel
supply from the country, pays Gus
toms duties TO the amount of ST.
100000 a year into the Canadian
treasury.
whether Canada would eccept an
offer to poin this comntry In aboli h
ing customs duties Is n disputed
question Aldrich has said that he
has information that the dominion
would not accept such an offer. 1t
needs the revenue The exports OF
American coal 10 Canada amount TO
about 100000 tons and the Inn
ports from Canada 10 the United
states to about 100000 tons an
nually.

Discussion of TariT Bill Comes I'm in
House But Attendance is Small.

Washington, ID. c., March "a
There was slim attendance in the
House when tine tariff measure was
taken up. Mr.. Payne was piled with
questions on all sides. Moore, of
Pennsylvania, asked if amendments
could be offered to which Payne re-
piled:
THE House will control such ac-
ton"
Garrett of Tennessee asked If the
bill was not revision upward,
whereat Payne retorted that no hon
orable man would make such a state
ment. Payne insisted that the revis-
ion was downward and that any other
construction on the bill was unfair TO
him and the county. Later the discus
sion turned to free hides and Payne
declared he wanted hides on the free
list TO protect Independent tanners
and give work to men employed oy
them. He said it would not hurt any
body but the packers and middlemen.

A SHAKER UNFRoCKED.

Pittsfield, Mass, March 23.-FJr
the first time in 100 years an elder ot
the Shaker community in Mount Lee
banon, u. Y, was unfrocked and dis
m issed. Elder Ernest Pick, for thir-
~ years one OF the trusted leaders of
the second family of Shakers, was
shorn of his authoTity and sent out of
the community following a rigid in
vestigation of charges, wAich also in
vOlved Elderess Lillian Barlow.
Charges were brought 10 the atten-
tion of sister NJ. Catherine Allen,
bishop of the central ministry, early
i'm the winter.
Many hearings have been held. The
ministry were at first not inclined 10
r, gard the charges as true, and a
Swiss member, who openly accused
Elder Pick and Eldress Barlow of in
discretions was dismissed and went
u Iowa,
Lately Otto ThcummcL who was
living in the second family brought
new charges Of such convincing
weight that the ministry was called
together by the bishop. The hearings
have been i'm session for several
weeks. Evidence has been taken ana
a defense heard
