HABITS OF THE LION.
More Exceptions to His Rules Than s the German Language.

Stewart Edward White in an. article on lions in the June American. Maga-
 zine says: tAs to habits! The only sure thing about lion is his original ity. He has more exceptions to- his rules than the German language. Men who have been mighty lion hunters
 for many years, and who have brought to their hunting close observations, can only tell you what a lion may do in certain circumstances Following very broad principles. they may even predict what he is apt to do; but new
 CT what he :. certainly will do. That is one thing that makes lion hunting interesting.
 s.In general then, the lion frequents that part of the country where feed the great game herds From them he takes his toll by night, retiring
 vines, the brush patches or the rocky little buttes.s I have, however, seen Hons miles from game, slumbering peacefully atop an ant hill. Indeed, oc- casionally, pack of lions like to live
 high in the tall grass ridges where or dve-mi1e jaunt out and back again. He needs water after feeding, and so rarely gets farther than eight or 10
 miles from that necessity.
 'He hunts at night This is as near ly invariable rule as can be forTnu-, IaC6Q IGSdTu LOt 4GL once, and perhaps twice, I saw honesses stalking through tall grass as early as | 8 o'clock in the afternoon. This eag- ,erness may, Or may not. have had to do with the possession of hungry cubs. The lions customary harmlessness in | the daytime is best evidenced, how lever by the comparative indifference of x the game to his presence then.
 From hill we watched three of these. Ebeasts wandering leisurely across the | plains below. A herd of kongonis feeding directly. in their path, merely
 moved, aside right and left, quite de- ! Iberately to leave a passage paid not lthe slightest attention. ; I have sev- eral times seen this incident, or. a
 modification of it, and yet, conversely Ion a number of occasions we have re- IeeiVed our first intimation of fsthe pres fence of. lions by the wild stampeding
 of the game away from a certain i spot However, the most of his hunting | is done by dark. Between the hours l of sundown and g o'clock he and hts 1 friends may be heard uttering the deep
 coughing grunt typical of this time 1 of night. These curious, short, far sounding calls may bes mere evidences 1 of intention; or they may be a sort Of 1 signal by means of which the various 1 hunters keep in touch. After little l they cease Then one is quite likely
 to hear the petulant, alarmed barking l of zebras, or to feel the vibrations of
 many hoofs. There is a sense Of hur- ried Hurried uneasiness abroad on the ve!dt."

PREVENTION OF FOURTH
 OF. JULY TETANUS
(New Haven Union.)f

It. is important to sound a note of warning each year just before the an nual celebration of Independence day calling attention to the possibilities of further reducing the mortality of te- .tanus. Consultation of the annual compilations made by the Journal of the American Medical associa ton of the tetanus cases, occurring as the result of Fourth of July celebrations since 1903 will show that there has been a gradual reduction in number In 1903 there were 415 cases of tetan- us in the United States as the result of Fourth of July injuries; in 1911 there were only IS. Of the 18' cases of tetanus occurring in 1911, 1O or 55 per cent, terminated fatally, as com pared with 93 per cent. in 1910, 84 per cent in 1910 and 72 per cent in 1908. While these figures are very gratify- ing, they can still be improved Te- tanus, and particularly deaths as the result of tetanus, are almost entirely avoidab!e.
 Not only the layman, but also the physician, should be impressed with the fact that a death from tetanus should practically never occur The loss of life from this cause must be ascribed to the neglect of the patient or his parents, to seek medical advice early enough after the injury The experience of years proves conclusive ly that tetanus anti-toxin is most valuable, but entire dependence should not be placed on it to the neglect of

A TACTFUL CANDIDATE.
How He Helped Out the Up-Alf-N Night
 Young Husband.

(Wa shington Correspondence of the
 Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Tn the midst of his campaign for Congress Stephen G. Porter of Pitts burg went to a big hall in that town. Before the affair was over he was called on for an impromptu exhibition of quickwittedness that stamped him as real major league tactician.
 A young man, who he knew only slightly, walked up to Porter and said: MT. Porter, let me introduce you to my wife"
 But the moment the man had made the proposition he seemed to think of something,. began to look pale, and became as ill at ease, as a, bigamist. E While Porter was shaking hands with the wife, the man was standing behind her making frantic signs that Porter could not interpret, but he knew he must be tactful and non-commit- tal. 4N ''So you're the MT. Porter that's run the young woman.
 Yes admitted Porter.
 And don't you find it exceedingly trying having to be up all night so often?''
 up all night; Oh, ye-eh, yes! h. QeCQ IL lSs SuOu1u. SctS SO lou nave no idea how trying it is,' replied Porter, with fine diplomacy, but won dering where she got her up-al-night notion.
 The young husband was still making queer signs, though he looked some what relieved.
 And what does your wife think about your being out all night three or four times a week?" the woman pursued.
 Madam" replied Porter, esolemnly, "a woman who has the confidence in her husband that a woman should have doesn't think anything at all when her husband is out all night
 And the young man looked as if he earnestly desired to shout.
 It seemed that the man had been telling at home how he was helping PorteT>~in his campaign.

other treatment. Anti-toxin is, not a substitute for surgical care and treat ment; it is an aid thereto. Fatal re- suits may occur because anti-toxin is injected too late or because the local infection is not given the necessary attention. The anti-toxin should be used at the earliest possible oppor- tunity, in sufficiently large doses. The injections may be repeated often and the dosage increased without doing harm to the patient. kisk
 The most essential curative measure is the proper treatment of the wound The tetanus baccilus dies on exposure to air, and it is most important that every part of the wound be exposed freely. to the air The presence of even an inf1nitesimal quantity of oxy- gen stops it's activities; therefore a sufficient supply of oxygen will pre- vent it's growth and the production of it's poisonous. Free incision under general or local anesthesia exposes the wound sufficiently to the air. Thorough removal of every particle of foreign material from the wound and the application of a light dressing to prevent infection by pus organisms, with the other measures, are sufficient treatment.

7 FOR THE GARDENER

The beauty of ferns is undeniable, and if your garden delights in shady places you can add ferns to your list of favorites They thrive after they have had. good start and their grace ful fronds fill in spaces with astonish- ing quickness that is most gratifying 10. the gardener
 Ferns shoulds be. placed in the shade and ins such a position that will give good dfainage. 5fdp an excess of water will rot the reots.[ They musth havl plenty of moisture, both for the roots and fronds.
 Tn their natural habitat most of the fine ferns will be found growing in a swampy soil. This will be found to contain a great quantity of sphagnum moss Therefore follow nature if you would have a more rapid growth of your fernery. Add this important fac ter: First chop it fine and mix with the soil. Press it down among all the rocks and into the ground. Add sand, also. so that the soil will not solidify and so that good easy drainage will result.
 The adiantums. with erect rhizones, grow in soil composed of equal parts of leaf mold, sand. peat and spfag- mum.
 IT you are not particular about rapid --SsTis foam for the sphagnum This will in$stre healthy frondsfspf rich color and great size.
 If tree ferns have large bare stems spray them with cleam warm water during the warm weather. This will encourage the . growth of healthy fronds and will give quick results.
 Need there be emphatic directions as to cutting away all dried, dead fronds? The use of the garden shears cannot be overestim ateda As soon as a fern slows the withePed signal of a had condition remove the brown frond for it only uses up the nourishment that should be given to the younger

DID PAINE WRITE THE ]. AMERICAN DECLARATION
 OF INDEPENDENCE?

In cities and villages all over the
 dependence was read, and the author ship of the document ascribed to
 Thomas Jefferson. Yet recent re- searches have cast grave doubts on
 the authenticity of that claim. In- Ideed, many historians have stated as certainty that it was not Jefferson, but Thomas Paine, who wrote the Declaration" pr. Charles Clark Rid- path, Prof William Henry Burr and a number of others held this view, and it is gradually gaining wide ac- ceptance. The sentiments, it is alleg- ed, were those held alike by Jefferson and Paine, but the language and ltt- erary style, the experts declare, point unerringly to Paine as the man who | put the Declaration into words.
 Dr., Charles G. Bombaugh, in his chap
 ter on Americana" sums up the ar- gument thus:
 l ..Six months before independence was declared, an anonymous pamph- | let was published, entitled. Common Sense Its success was unprecedent- | ed The copyright was assigned to 1 the colonies by the author, and not until several editions were issued was | it accredited to Thomas Paine. In a | literary point of view it was one of 1 the finest productions in the English language But the author was not an aspirant to literary fame; his sole aim was the achievement of American l independence.
 "Paine was the bosom friend of i Franklin They were both very se~ cretive men, and Franklin, who had | induced Paine to come to America, Iknew that he could trust him. Frank l lin was a member of the committee 1 to draft a declaration. The task was
 assigned to Jefferson, and in a very 1 few days it was completed. Franklin handed to, Jefferson a draft already prepared by Paine, and assured him that he could trust the writer never to lay claim to it's au- thorship. What could Jefferson do | but use it? It was far superior in style to anything he could produce. So with few verbal changes he re ported it, and it was adopted by the Congress, after striking out several l passages more eloquent than any that remain, as, for instance, one about the l slave trade. s
 "The adoption of this declaration placed Jefferson in an embarrassing position. Not daring to say outright l that he was it's author, he studiously | evaded the point whenever it became l necessary to allude to the subject. 1 But at last, when Franklin had been l dead thirty three years and Paine fourteen years, Jefferson ventured to | claim what no one then disputed. It l would never have done for him to | name the real author and who could | be harmed, he doubtless thought, by l taking the credit to himself? But l the science of criticism, like the spec trum analysis which reveals the com position of the stars, points unerring- | Iv to Thomas Paine as the only man l who could indite that greatest of lit erary masterpieces, the Declaration of l Independence.
