Is Hie Jaws of a I. ion.
1 was out alter porcupines ami was
lyiiiR down one nijiht pear a porcu
pine's bole waiting for him to come out.
1 had no pun, but only my hunting
knife ami Diy kiiobkerric, with which
to knock the porcupines on the nose;
lor that, you know, kills him at once.
I did not hear a sound until I found the
grass near me more and a Hon put his
paw on Die and lifted me up. The
brute pressed his claws into me, but
lucki'y my leather belt prevented his
teeth from damaging me, and he car
ried me by holding on my belt aud coat.
If either of these should have given way
I should have been laid hold of in a far
rougher manner. A lion is like a cat
in one thing, he can hold a living crea
ture in his mouth and not damage it,
just as I have seen a cat carry a mouse.
I knew the nature of the lion well
enough to know that if I struggled 1
should have my neck broken or mv
head smashed in an instant, so I did
not struggle, but quietly drew my knife
and thought what best to do I thought
at first of trying to strike him In the
heart, but I could not reach that part
of him, ami his skin looked so loose
that I feared that I could not strike him
UcH-p enough, carried as I was. I knew
it would be life or death with me in an
iustaut.so.turn.ng myself a bit, I gash
ed the lions nose, and cut it through.
The lion dropped me as I should drop a
poisonous snake, and jumped away
roaiing with pain, lie stood for an in
stant looking at me, but I did not move
and he did not seem to like to carry me
again. More than once he came up to
within a few yards, licking the blood as
it jiourcd from his nose; but there 1
remained like a stone, and he was fair
ly afraid to tackle me again. I know a
butl.tlo ami an ox are very sensitive
aliout the no.-e, and a cat if just tipped
on the nose can't stand it, so I thought
a lion might be the same, aud so it
proved.
C'liiM I. ou the Ainmou. .
It is Interesting to watch how the
mental traits of the race appear even in
the young babies on the Amaz n. If a
plaything is given them they examine
it gravely lor a little while and then
let it drop. l-erve how diff'.-rent this
is Irom a white ba'iy's actions. A
bright little six months-old at home
has four distinct methods of investiga
tion: first, by looking; second, by
touching; then by puping the object
in its mouth; ami finally by banging
it against the tl.ior. '1 he brown infant
jtit looks; he does not investigate at
all. As the children grow older the
same trait is apparent in almost every
case. An Indian is content to see and
hear a thing, without troubling himself
about the w hvs and wherefores; even i
such incoinprehensive pursuits as los-sil-collectiug
or butterfly catching, or
sketching, provoke hardly any curiosi
ty. The peopls look on quietly, some
times asking a question or two, but
soon dismissing the subject from their
minds as something they are incapable
of understanding. With all the crowd
ing to see the lady of our parly, hardly
a person asked why she came. So, too.
the babies are unambitious; they do
not cry after pretty colors or stretch
out their hand to a candle. And the
men have no apparent deire to better
their lot. Thev iro on just a tiieir
lathers did; submit to the imposition j
of the whites, a little sullenly, but with- j
out a thought of rebellion, unless there j
is a w !i!te or a nail-urceu to icau wii-ui.
The children do not care much "for
playthings; we rarely see one with a
rag doll; the little buys delight in
bows and arrows, but they take them
as part of their traii-ing. Sometimes
the jieople have dances, in iuiitatation
of the "festa" sports; and we hear
them humming the waltzes and quad
rilles which their quick ears have
ciught from the musicians. As an In
di?u will paddle steadily all day, w hile
his wife at home hardly ceases her mo
notonous cotton-beating, so the little
ones have an inexhaustible gift of pa
tience. Where a while child wouid
fret and cry, the brown one sits all day
Ierfectly still, but watching every
thing around hiiu. To see a little In
dian boy in a canoe, you would say
that nothing of him was alive out his
eyes.
A Shocking Fellow.
tleorge Bell, of I'ortland, Oregon,
possesses the remarkable peculiarity ol
being able to deliver a shock as percep
tible and distinct as that from a gal
vanic batter' O.i the evening ol the
4th he attended the ball given by the
Master Mariners' Association at B'hai
B'rith Hall, and there created consid
erable amusement for those who kuew
the secret of his po-crs by the way in
w hich he treated the ladies to w hom lie
was introduced and with wliora he
mingled in the dance. A reporter
called upon hint to request an explana
tion of the phenomenon.
"You can call it a phenomenon or
anything else," said Mr. Bell, "but I
can give no explanation of it. I sim
ply possess the power of giving these
shocks, and that's about all there is
about it. I don't care about any sense
less publicity on the subject, though
you can mention it if you want to. I
will tell you how it works. There is a
great deal of electricity in my system,
and when I catch a person by each
hand it seems to pass from me to them.
You've seen people take hold of the
handles of a battery; well, my hands
are like those hardies. Give me your
hands and I will show you."
Mr. Bell took the hands of the re
porter in his and pressed them tightly.
A shock of electricity, in no way differ
ing from that given by a battery, was
received.
"You see," said the living battery,
when I draw In my breath the elec
tric current seems to a-quire a great
power." The reporter felt the truth
of the remark as the sharp prickly sen
sation increased, as if a few hundred
invisible needle were being shot
through his arms.
"Tiiere, you have the whole thing,
description and experience, as much as
1 can give," said he, as he dropped he
bar ds of tne reporter.
"I understood you could pick up nee
dles, Mr. Bell, with your lingers, as
with a magnet," said the searcher for
facts.
"Oh, no, I never could do that.
These stories are always exaggerated
you know," replied he, as he lit his
cigarette and blew the white smoke out
through the open window.
"I presume it furnishes yourself and
friends abundant of amusement when
you desire it," suggested the reporter.
"Well, yes, I cau have some fun now
and then. I give the shock, you know,
when no one expects it, and often i
frighten the ladies when I place one
band upon a ehoHlder and grasp their
Laud with the other. Thev take it in
good part nearly always, though I now
ami then get into a little trouble with
those ros8-grainl sp"riiiins of hu
manity w ho never can take a joke."
"How do the ladies treat your elec
trical powers? Are they frightened
more than the men
"Of course. Ild you ever know a
lair who wouldn't scream louder tian
a man could when she saw a child fall
Uowa stairs? Those who don't know
me at all sometimes get frightened; but
t'le ones who do, usually say, "Oh,
how you shock me, Mr. Bell,' and
laLgh. I shock the ladies often, but I
can't help It you know."
A Boy's M rework!.
Joseph us Thlstlehummer is a good
little boy, and he told all the boys that
he was "goin to have a bully old
Fourth, you bet yer boots!" He kept
his money in a savings bank. The bank
was tin, and he put the money in at the
roof. The savings banks always pay
out 100 cents on the dollar. Some oth
er savings banks do not pan out so well.
Josephus held a meeting of directors,
and it was unanimously resolved to re
move the deposiu from the vaults of the
bank until after the Fourth. Perhaps
labor riots were teared. He removed
the nickel and copper accumulations
through the roof by means of a case
kuile and a two-tined fork. They
amounted to $3.91, which he put into
first-class securities rockets, Koman
eandles.serpeuU.torpedoes, pin-wheels,
crackers, etc. He took advantage of
his younger brother Sebe's (Kusebius)
absence to climb to the top of the book
case and put his pyrotechuie acquisi
tions there. In two minutes he thought
of a better place. Hide 'em under the
bookcase. His mother w ill fiud some
toe scratches on the mahogany to-morrow,
and soiuebody'll get hurt. Then
he thought of a tiptop place, aud took
them to the kitchen. He'd be up be
fore daylight in the morning, of course.
But the cook got up first. She was
up at five o'clock and much surprised
was she to find the fire all ready lor
lighting stove filled with nice round
piiie sticks and colored paper. Old
Thistlehuminer was growing kind, she
thought. She touched the kindling off
with a match and began pounding the
beefsteak. The cat came in from her
family of six at the stable and rubbed
her side and back on M ilinda's aukles,
her tail waving her spine graceful'y
and billowy. She purred loud aud ex
pectant. The fire wis cracking glee
fully. !reat guns! sizz-whiz baug
bociu! The top of the s'ove went out
first. The cat bowled through the win
dow, leaving a strong smell of burnt
fur trailing after her. The hired girl
ran on into the yard aud went over the
fence like a lrirdle jumper. Then she
fell in a lit. old Thistlehuminer
awoke aud remarked to his wife that
he supposed the blanked Idiocy had be
gun. Then he heard more, and the
house rocked like a canal boat in
storm. Thistlehuminer is a brave man
but when he came down stairs aud
gazed in the kitchen he was somewhat
shaken. Ii vk-.'ts, K nil in c.indlcs.pin
w heels, serpents and fire-crackers were
holding high carnival in the sacred
place, chasing each other as if posses
sed. A sky rocket w hich had been im
Htently sputtering away in a cor"er,
roused itself for a final effort, and car
ried away two of the old gentleman's
trout teeth r they were false, though)
then gave hiui a parting kick in the
back, leaving a iriiianeut lumbago.
They managed to save the rest of the
house without calling on the fire de
partment, though the end next the
kitchen was burned a black as free
lunch liver.
Josephus will never forgive Malinda
never. "Xothin' but kerlcssness."
says Master Thin'.ehummer; "she'd

But Malinda went to the hospital,
and the cat, as she has never teturned.

boarding house.
A Butterfly Collector.
Mr. Metzger, a resident of Albany,
X. Y., has one of the largest and finest
collections of butterflies in the world.
It took Mr. Metzger twenty-five years
to gather them. From Russia. France,
Great Britain and Spain; from Florida
and Texas; from Maine and Canada;
from the woods of the North and the
groves of the South, thuse marvels of
nature have been brought and now
preserved in a manner maintaining
their living features, they present a
picture of beauty simply indescribable.
There are over ten thousand of these
richly colored flies, and they are a
study Indeed. The wriler suggested
they represented a fortune, "Yes,"
said Mr. Metzger, with a shrug of his
shoulders, "but I never sell a fly. That
I would not do. Sometimes I want a
particular fly from abroad, and it costs
me often ten or twenty dollars, but be
ing a poor man I endeavor to effect an
exchange with my duplicates. Others
more fortunate 'than I can buy them
outright. I confine my collection to
the latitude of the Northern Hemis
phere. There is a fly named after me,
and over in that corner is one that is
simply priceless. There are but two
known to exist. You sec that deli
cately constructed insect. That is of a
remarkable family. It hatches as a
butterfly in September; lives through
the frost of winter; cold, however in
tense, cannot kill that gossamer bit of
God's handiwork, but when the spring
conies and the soft nights of May makes
all nature lovely, this little thing gives
up its eggs and dies. Its mission is
over. There is the common moth.
How graceful and dainty it is! There
is the outcome of the tomato worm,
which has desolated acres of tomatoes
in certain years. There is an insect of
which the male only is winged, and
yonder a fly of mctalic hue, which is
considered by us very valuable."
"Have you caught many of these
butterflies yourself?"
"The greater part of them. When a
boy in the old country, it was my hobby,
aud for eighteen years in America I
have been busy. Kven in this neigh
borhood I am out nearly every summer
night, hunting for my treasures. I
will spend all day in the woods, or all
night, for that matter, in search of
what I want. In this way I got many
flies that I had not, and many that are
wanted abroad. I am an enthusiast, of
course, and take great care of what I
have."
"To you, then, it is a delightful oc
cupation to search for and find a new
butterfly."
It is a delightful occupation. Every
thing in nature is beautiful, not mere
ly butterflies. Take the birds'or fishes,
or different insect life. It is a study ot
man for wnich a lifetime is too short.
Nature is as rich and bountltul in
beauty as in utility, and it is pleasant
to tl nd this out by personal experience."

laxing all the muscles of the body, and
let the head drop forward on tne
breast as low as it w ill fall w ithout

Tiih:k has never been found a pefton

Whitewash for Octuoi ses." While
it is true that any lime wash cannot be
made as durable as paint, yet lime adds
materially to the durability of wood,
and, If repeated once In three years, an
swers a good purpose as a general pre
ventive. Slack one peck of lime, add
one pound of glue, one potmJ of starch,
one-half pound ot borax, color with
cheap paint to suit, an 1 reduce with
water to the requisite thickness.
Wash for the MovTn. Dissolve a
spoonful of black currant jelly in half

none should make the attempt in such
a condition when it can be so easily
and cheaply removed by a little Hop
B i tters. See other col u m n.
Starch for Fixe Muslins. A solu
tion of gum arabic in water makes a
nice starch for lawns and thin muslin,
giving them a new appearance. 1'ili'te
the dissolved gum until you find by ex
periment that you have it just right.
It takes but a minute to ru'i a cloth in
it, slightly dry and iron it, to test the
strength of the gum water. Lawns
renewed in this way, after washing,
not only look as though just made up,
but retain their good apiearance won
derfully well.
Lemon Svri'P. The lemon syrup
bought at stores can be made at home
much cheaper. ' Take a oiiiid of Ha
vana sugar, boil it in water down to a
quart, drop in the white of an egg to
clarity it, strain it, add one-quarter of
an ounce of tartaric or citric acid. If
you do not find it sour enough after it
has stood two or three days, add more
acid. A few drops of oil of lemon
improves it.

"Practical Science."
Under the above heading, the St.
Croix Courier, of St. Stephen, N. B., in
referring to the analysis of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Sage's
Catarrh Kemedy, recently made by
Prof. Chandler, of New York, auil
others, says: "Nothing was discovered
which we think objectionable, and the
published analysis should increase,
rather than retard, their sale. To us.
it seems a little unjust to call a man a
quack, simply because he seeks to reap
as much pecuniary reward as other
classes of inventors." The English
Press is conservative, yet after a care
ful examination of all the evidence, it
not only endorses but recommends the
Family Medicines manufactured by
Dr. Pierce. 'o remedies ever offered
the afflicted give such perfect satisfac
tion as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Kemedy.

HUMOKOUS.
Owing to the Weather. A big
newsboy doubled over a bench at the
City Hall market, too sick to nfcve, and
discouraged to care what became of
him. Two or three of the mother mar
ket women fixed him up doses of pei
per, and when be was a little better one
of them said : ,
"Bov. vou want to let harvest apples
alone !" , .iT
Harvest apples?" he sneered. Do

"And he bought two cucumbers on
my stand an hour ago!" squeaked a
little black-eyed woman.
"Yes, I did," answered the boy, "but
they didn't make only a inouthlul.
T'other night I ate ten all at once and
they didn't hurt be a bit."
"And I saw him eating tomatoes and
turnips !" solemnly remarked a ull man
with green glasses on.
"S posin you did!" wailed the boy,
as the colic got a Iresh grip, "wasu't
tomaters and turnips made to eat?
Ion't you folks want to give a boy any
show to git along? I tell ye it's this

women had any mercy on me you'd
bring me some plums auil green corn

SnEwas a hard looking sinner, and
she knew better than to wring at the
front door, mo she marched around to
the back steps and told her tale ; widow,
three small children, etc., as usual.
Xot taking very much stock in her
story, the lady of the house dismissed
her with a hot doughnut just from the
fat. Looking contemptuously at the
piece of fried dough, she said, with all
the Milesian grace of sarcasm she could
command: "God bless your stingy
sow!, d'ye think that three childers
wud grow fat on the likes o' that?"
and she let it drive straight at the head
of her benefactor.
Things aee -not WiiatThet Seem.
Lazily swinging in the hammock, be
neath tbe stiade oi tne great enn tree,
reading the hours away, isn't she a pic
ture of contentment; but it is safe to
wager that slie Is mad, mad clean
through, because her pa wouldn't pay
her bills for a Saratoga trip, but sum
mered in the country, where all the
music heard is the "S Boss and "Haw
Gees" of the overgrowu farmer's lad,
and the cuisine consists of "biled din

from the vin-.-s."
Ix Austin, Texas, almost everything
U plastered over with big patent medi
cine advertisements. In the court-yard
of a hotel there is a big cistern, and on
it is an advertisement in letters a foot
and a half long: "Smith's Diseased
Liver Kemedy." A stranger from the
North saw the hotel clerk draw a
bucket ot water from the cistern on
which the above sign was plastered,
and then he said, as though to himsell,
"I've heard it was sickly in Austin, but
I never expected to see people draw fl
tneir medicine by the bucketful."
It doesn't do any good to veto a
butcher's bill. Bloggsby tried it, and
the butcher, in defiance of all law aud
constitutional precedent, absolutely re
fused to vote any more supplies until
the bill passed. Bloggsby savs the coun
try Is qu the verge of a new revolution,
and in fact the new revolution has
come, for he now walks clear around
the block to avoid the butcher's shop.
Medical men often puzzle them
selves over the large sale lhat Dr.
Bull's Baby Syrup enjoys. Its great
popularity Is due only to the excellent
qualities possessed by this household

"Evert man should provide liberally
for his family," says Mr. Smith. "Ever
since my marriage 1 have kept my wife
provided with a sewing-machine, sur
mounted with a tine mirror." "What
is the mirror for?" inquired a party
present. Well," said tiieoracle, "I tell
h.er that when she gets so lazy that
sii3 cannot run the machine, she can
sit right still and sec herself starve to
death."
Wash a baby up clean and dress him
real pretty and he will resist all ad
vances with a superlative crossness
but let him eat mol isses gingerbread
and fool around the coal-scuttle for hall
an hour, and he will nestle his dear
little dirty face close up to your
clean shirt-bosom, and be just the cun
ninget, lovingist little rascal in the

after intense suffering for over a month,
effected temporary relief, for a short time only
