The Leopard's Favorite Morsels.
The poets, as Broome and Somer
ville, seem to think the leopard looks
on the dog as its natural master and
conqueror, whereas the fact is that the
leopard looks upon the dog as its natu
ral food. The leopard's taste for dogs
is certainly one of the most extraordi
nary phenomena in natural history.
We say that cats like fish and that
monkeys arc fond of nuts, but these
are mere passing whims, caprices of
the moment, compared to the constant
passion of leopards for dogs. It is a
very Chinaman fr its delight in pup.
pv, for it will follow a man for miles
like his shadow if a dog be at his
heels—and it will be a very extra
ordinary dog indeed, if it does not at
last give the leopard its chance. The
best of dogs sometimes commits the
indiscretion of loitering behind his
master, or running out of sight round
a corner in front of him, and if he
does this with a leopard on his track,
nothing more is ever seen of the dog,
and nothing more heard of him but
his last squeal as he is swiftly snatch
ed up from the path and carried with
a sudden iustle of foliage, down the
hillside. At night leopards will prowl
around the tent, sniffing under the
canvas for the dog that they can
smell within; or in the hill stations,
will boldly come down among the
houses and carry off the pet of the es
tablishment, though servants may be
moving about. It is on record, that
in the station of Gumsoor not a single
dog escaped ! and nearly every resi
dent of India, who has ever camped
out in the jungle where leopards are,
or has lived in "the hills," has had
some tragic experience of this mania
of the leopard for dogs.
In about the same degree, but obvi
ously for very different reasons, the
monkey takes the most profound inter
est in the leopard, and when one is
afoot the four-handed folk follow him
as closely as they dare, shaking the
branches in their absurd rage, chatter
ing furiously at their enemy, and mak
ing faces at him. Sometimes, howev
er, the leopard stops abruptly and
glares at them, and the wretched mon
keys gathering overhead, get so excit
ted in their demonstrations, that very
often one of their number is pretty
sure to lose its balance and tumble
conveniently intothe leopard's mouth.
A tradition was once widely current
that the panther was sweetly scented
—says Dryden, "the panther's breath
was ever famed for sweet"—and that
this fragrance was so fascinating to
some small animals that it enticed
them to their death in the jaws of the
aromatic beast. It is a fact, however,
that the panther itself is peculiarly
sensible to perfumes, and among other
instances is one of undeniable authen
ticity of a panther being tamed with
lavender water.
Esthetic Cremation.
The new crematory in the Campo
Verano at Rome was used for the first
time a few days ago and the corpse of
Signer Cipriani, an Italian senator
was reduced to ashes in two hours and
a half. The three other existing cre
matories of importam e are at Gotha,
Milan and Washington, Pa., respective
ly. In some of them gas is used as
fuel, but in Rome the body, enveloped
in a specially made shroud, rests on an
iron frame above a fire of wood and
coal; and it is believed that no other
method of cremation is so simple and
at the same time so cheap and unob
jectionable. The new crematory is a
handsome building in the Egyptian
style, and consists of three chambers
two of which are above the ground
In one of these latter the actual incin
eration takes place, and in the other is
kept a register for the preservation of
full particulars of every corpse that is
burned. Beneath these rooms is a spa.
cious vault, in which on shelves are
ranged ornamental urns of porcelain,
bronze and silver, to contain the ashes
of the dead. The establishment is, in
short, so well found and luxuriously
appointed that it almost seems that we
might be entering upon an era in
which aesthetic cremation shall be as
fashionable as aesthetic dress and fur
niture have been during the last dec
ade. ______
Chicory Farming.
Chicory farming promises to be one
of the coming industries of California
farming. Chicory was first planted in
that state about fifteen years ago, but
since that time it has been extensively
raised on the San Joaquin and Sacra
mento rivers. Chicory is cultivated
on a small scale in some of the eastern
states, and in some places in that sec
tion grows wild in abandoned fields
and orchards. It grows very thrifty
on the bottom lands of Louisiana and
Texas. The root of the plant, when
being prepared for use, is cut by a ma
chine into small square blocks, then
placed in the sun to dry, afterwards
roasted, and finally ground in a mill.
Chicory possesses few elements in
common with coffee; and yet it im
parts a taste to it greatly fancied by
certain coffee drinkers in Europe. In
France and Belgium, the common
people have been so accustomed to
chicory with the coffee they drink that
they prefer it so prepared, to the bev
erage in its pure stale. Travellers in
those countries, even when they pur
chase pure coffee for their private
consumption, find that the cooks will
mix chicory with it, even after having
received strict orders to the contrary.
Torus OF THE DAY.
It is;; curious coincidence that if
the cholera should break out In this
country this year it will be tho third
time it has done so at intervals of sev
enteen years. In 1832 it raged vio
lently here, so it. did in 1840, and
again, but more mildly, in 1866.
A physician said that leprosy was a
comparatively common disease among
the Norwegian settlers of northwes
tern Wisconsin, and the statement was
widely copied. The Milwaukee Senti
nel has been unable to find a case in
the state after a protracted search.
Is the poor bachelor to be driven
from the face of the earth? In Mani
toba he is subjected to an extra tax,
and in France such military discrimi
nations are to be made against him as

and carnage of horrid war.
This is the iron age. The value 01
all the gold and silver mined in the
1 I'nited States in the year 1882 was
not equal to that of iron. The amount
of silver (coining value) mined was
j $46,800,000; of gold, $82,500,000; of
i pig iron mauufaet tired, $100,806,420.
The value of coal mined during the
year was $140,082,581.
It is seriously proposed that several
of the European powers should unite
! in the suppression of Mohammedan
I pilgrimages to Mecca by the occupa
-1 ion of the Holy City, which is so
! charged with pestilence almost always,
and which sends so frequently tho
1 scourge of cholera over Egypt and tho
; East. The remedy suggested is a dar
j ing one. It might cause a terrible
! war. But something has to be done
very soon.
A man who has kept an account of
the weather, claims that it invariably
repeats itself, and gives the following
as the result of his observations: All
years ending in 9, 0 or 1, are extreme
ly dry. Those ending in 2, 3, 4, 5 or
6, are extremely wet. Those ending
in 7 or 8, are ordinarily well balanced.
Those ending in 6 have extremely cold
winters. Those ending in 2 have an
early spring. Those ending in 3 or 4
are subject to great floods.

The intensity of the struggle for a
livelihood in England is illustrated by
the statement of a magazine writer
that there are 300,000 families in Lon
don who are in the habit of pawning
small articles and that more than
6,000,000 unclaimed pledges are sold
every year in that city, while over 270,-
000,000 are taken in pledge in the
course of the year throughout the
country. Of course, some of these
pledges are of stolen goods, but the
writer estimates that they do not ex
ceed more than one in 14,000.
Eight million acres of government
land was taken up by settlers in Dako
ta last year, according to the report of
the land commissioner at Washington.
As no person can take more than three
hundred and twenty acres (a pre-emp
tion or homestead and a timber claim),
this means that not less than twenty
five thousand, and probably thirty-five
thousand farmers located in Dakota,
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1883, upon government lands alone,
without taking into calculation the
millions of acres sold from the railroad
land grants.
In Mexico nearly every one is a 1
smoker. The school children who have
done well in their studies are reward
ed by being allowed to smoke a cigar
as they stand or sit at their lessons.
The schoolmaster is seldom without a
cigar in his mouth. In the law courts
all persons commonly enjoy their to
bacco freely, and even the accused in
a criminal trial is not denied this in
dulgence, but is allowed, if his cigar
ette goes out in the heat of the argu
ment, to light it again by borrowing
that of the officer who stands at his
side to guard him.
Insects in Bricks.
Having occasion In San Francisco
to examine a brick that Avas taken
from an okl ruined and forsaken build
ing AA'hich was being torn down to
make room for a handsome business
block, a reporter xvas someAvhat start
led upon adjusting a microscope to see
each pore of the brick inhabited Avith
a peculiar rod-like animalculte of the
genus bacilli. As these insects cannot
be seen other than bv the microscope,
even when they live in the human
system and prey upon our vitality,
neither are they visible in the soil or
substance in which they may live and
hive, except by a poAverful glass.
Their motions when exposed to WOAVS
were as the link of a chain, reminding
one of a system of joints to be extend
ed and contracted. They were
semi-transparent, Avith a slight,
scintillating column nearly tAvo-thirds
their length, extending from nearly
their head to their pointed tails,
probably their spinal column. As this
brick AVUS from the foundation and
being underground and next to the
street sideAvalk, it illustrates forcibly
the fact that however hard burnt and
Avell made, porous substances should
not be put underground for foundations
or sewers. Solid rock, ot concrete, oi
terra cottta are the only proper build

An IntcreMing Wager.
The saloons of most ferry boats are
abundantly furnished with mirrors.
A mischievous lady onco remarked to
a gentleman accompanying her that
he would wager a pair of kid gloves
lhat every man who passed through

gentleman, with an incredulous smile,
accepted the wager at once, and each
person was noted, and true enough, as
each young, middlo-aged and old man
came forward toward the mirror he
glanced in, many with a self-satisfied
gaze, because of their good looks,
■ jaunty clothes or line physiques, while
: nthers seemed to wear a eonttmptu
; ous curl of the lip, as if angry at
themselves; but not a single woman,
young, middle-aged or eld. homely or
pretty, good, hud or indifferent,
glanced into the mirror. After at
least three hundred persons had
passed through, tho gentleman, in a
half dazed way, remarked to his com

"What are you doing?" he cried.
"You will not shoot yourself: it would

"Do not be afraid," she replied; "I

No Rest Ray or Night.
In the fall of 1875 my sufferings were terri
ble. I was swollen to such proportions that
I feared my limbs would burst. I had the
best medical talent obtainable, and at the
worst stage of my illness, when my husbAnd
and many friends had given me up to die,
the late Dr. John Woodbury made a thorough
examination of my water, and pronounced
my CSRO acute kidney disease, bordering on
Bright's disease, and accompanied by gravel,
ana recommended the immediate use of
Hunt's Remedy. At this time I was suffer
ing most terrible pain in my back, limbs
and head, and could find no rest day or night
for weeks, and I was growing weuker daily
until this kind physician ordered me to take
Hunt's Remedy. Before taking half of one
bottle I commenced to improve, and after
taking six bottles was entirely cured. This
was nearly eight years ago, and I have had
no return of the disease. I have recom
mended Hunt's Remedy to others in similar
cases, and it has never failed to cure. I have
also used it for sick headache, and found in
it a sure relief. I think it the best medicine
made, and cheerfully recommend it to all.

Reasons Why You Feel Badly.
Because your stomach is not doing its work properly.
Because your liver is out of order, and wants righting.
Because your blood is thin, and needs iron in it.
Because you are troubled with nervous aches and pains.
Because you are vexed with languor and debility,
All these Reasons Can be Set Aslde by the Use of Brown's Iron Bitters which will
Tone up your enfeebled stomach, and help it to digest.
Refresh your wearied liver and put it in splendid order.
Enrich your watery blood, and give it a rich red color.
Calm your worried nerves, and give them restful peace.
Strengthen your whole system and drive debility and languor out.
Considering that any man who has a dollar may buy of the nearest
druggist a bottle of BROWN'S IRON BITTERS, there is no reason why people
should continue to feel badly, just for the fun of it . 4
