BREEDING HoRsEs.-Heaviness Of
form, dullness inaclion, and round. heavy,
hairy legs, are indicative Of disease, and
never fail to constitute n dull, numbering
animal, with a sluggish motion and fu-
neral pace. In order to remedy this de-
feet, ample elements exist, SO soon as the
farmer is able TO dyest himself Of the idea
that bone and flesh constitute strength
A heavy belly or great depth of rib is
objectionable, showing as it does a great
quantity Of Offal to be carried about in a
loose state, in the shape of CUTS and en-
trails. A great point in breeding lies in
reducing the size OF the useless parts, and
in getting rid Of unnecessary appendages,
and the lightness Of offal always forms
point OF excellence. Huge bulks must
be reduced, and it is always a leading
point with skillful breeders, to diminish
the size Of the animals, in order to aeqrire
symmetry and compactness, II being an
invariable law of nature that bulk is al
ways attended with a corresponding de-
| gree Of coarseness. The great object
should be to retain a certain size in the
animal, and TO impart to that bulk the
necessary muscle and spirit. But this
cannot be accomplished without reducing
the bulk 10 some quarter, and this redue-
ton must take place in the useless parts


in the quantity of bone, OF offal, and of
flesh and increase must be made in the
necessary parts Of muscle, spirit and
action.-E1.

for an effort; as turned saw the lion
cautiously advancing upon his belly
When about five yards off he stopped
and gathered for a spring. saw his
huge claws settle into the ground, and /
saw his great shaggy head start upward,
as he left his couch. With heart as
still as death l bowed my head and shrank
down toward the earth. heard a shock
momentary struggle--a crashing sound,
as Of the breaking of woodland then l
was knocked over by heavy body com
ing in contact with my right shoulder
With powerful effort struggled from
beneath the weight and gained my feet.


The first thing saw was Lari, for it
was he who had fallen against me. The
next was the lion, who lay only a few
feet of, with the head of the spear buried
deep in his throat, the shaft being broken
off about midway. He was roaring W. th
a deep noarse sound, and tearing the dirt
up with his claws.


AZ think that l found his heart before
it broke said Lari, as he gained his feet.
Ifthe shaft had held l would have pinned
him through the heart, and sent him
twenty feet over behind US. But, tell
you, he's heavy one to lift


The monster was dead in few min
utes, and we then held an examination
The lance-head had entered the lower
part Of the throat, directly beneath the
fore shoulder, and gone clean through
the heart.


You must have had a good aim,
said l.


But it was good mark, replied Lari
when I saw him coming, I just turned
the point right for bis heart and he killed
himself


1t was all very simple, and it may
have been very easily done but, assure
you, a man must have pretty steady
nerve to do it efectually.


We could not move the lion then
nor could we stop to take his skin off
for it was very nearly dark. So we re
solved to wait until morning, and ther
have help.


"When we reached the lower corner
of the waste we saw glimmering of wa
ter through the trees and, upon pushin;
our way down, we were lucky enough t.
find ourselves only few rods from tn,
tent. On the next morning we all wen
out together, and found the lion Just a
we had left him. His body measure,
from the end of his nose to the insertion
of his tail, eight feet and nine inches, an

five feet high. etook off his skin yer
carefully, and when / reached home I ha
It stuffed and set up. Itlooks very innc
