Hilt unquestionably tbe Hem's t ami most formidable gladiators of (bis genus are the buffaloes of Asia and All ien. . Experience bas taiifibt tbe lions of Africa discretion, and (bey never bunt the buffalo singly, but always In pulri or companies. Tbe buffalo Is far larger and more powerful (ban tbe lion, ami one good toss of bis long, sharp, pow erful horns, which frecuently exceed twelve feet from tip to tip, Is usually enough to kill tbe so called "king of beasts." In fact, one buffalo Is almost a match for two lions. Once when Sir Samuel W. Baker was hunting In Afri ca he found tbe dislocated (skeleton of a buffalo lying Intermixed with llio broken bones of n Hon. lie concluded from appearances that two Hons had attacked one buffalo, and that the buf falo bad killed one of them, but bad finally succumbed to the oilier. Major Vardon and Mr, Oswell once saw a buffalo bull carry on successfully a light against three lions until be sud denly dropped dead from the effects of n wound which Major Vardon bad pre viously given blm. The Asiatic buffalo Is smaller and less muscular than bis African cousin, but he has bis full share of prowess. He is more than a match for the tiger, which declines the combat unless urged to it by hunger. Even the domestic bull buffalo usually will whip tbe tiger. Tbe Indian driver of a pair of large buffalo bulls plunges unhesitatingly Into tbo darkest and most tangled for est, aware that the tiger probably will not attack blm when thus accompanied and that even If It should bis team would make Bbort work of the fero cious beast with their massive horns. It Is said the buffalo sometimes kills even the elephant, Its mode of attack being to thrust Its horns Into the ele phant's belly. This may happen some times, but can hnrdly take place often, its tbe great weight and strength of the elephant make It when enraged n foe which neither the buffalo nor any oth er animal can withstand. Huffalo lights and fights between buffaloes and tigers lire main features In tbe entertain ments of Indian princes.

Halter, "but they can generally bo turned by thpstumilng effect of a rl He shot, even though they may bo mortally wounded, but a buffalo Is n devil Incarnate when it has once de cided on the offensive. Nothing will Vim It. If not killed It will assuredly destroy Its adversary. There is no creature In existence that is so deter mined to stamp out the life of Its op ponent. Should It succeed In over throwing its antagonist it will not only gore the body with Its horns, but it will endeavor to tear it to pieces and will stand upon its lifeless form and stamp it with his hoofs until the mu tilated remains are disfigured beyond nil recognition." It is this ferocity of the buffalo which makes buffalo hunt ing so exciting and so perilous a sport Experienced hunters are always care ful not to stand In front of a buffalo which has been felled by a bullet and is apparently dead, for after every sign of life is gone i may spring to its feet and deal destruction in every direction. Baron Hornier, a Prussian, shot a buf falo on the White Nile several years ago. His native servant bad Just, tak en a position near the head of the ani mal, which was apparently dead, when It sprang to its feet and knocked tbe mail headlong. Baron Harnier's rifle being unloaded, he courageously club l ed the weapon and tried to drive tbe buffalo off, Tbe animal turned furi ously upon him and stamped and gored him to death. Tbe missionaries who found bis body also found the carcass of the buffalo lying near it, and a little farther away was tbe body of his errant No land animal except possibly the elephant loves water so much as the buffalo, in a wna state it frequents swampy ground, where It wallows in the water and plasters itself with mud. Its coat of mud when hardened In the sun affords it protection from the great gadflies which, especially in Africa, cause It much annoyance. The buffalo does not lose Its love of water when ""pticated, ana its practice or lying In every stream It comes to even bitched to a cart gets it many lings and cursings from Its In- JUrivws. buTalo's usual way of affording i sport Is ai th hunted.

ART OF ENTERTAINING. Two Drt-ntli-il (imnlp nnd lli l.iftgiiii Their Vlnlt TllllKlll. I once invited two brilliant sisters to come and stay for n few days at our little bouse In the country, writes John Strange Winter in Itlack and White. 1 don't know why I gave the Invitation; It was done Impulsively and on the spur of the moment. As we walked away from the house my husband said to me, "Why did you ask llieiii'f" "I don't know," I said blankly. "1 don't know what we shall do with them. I don't know what we have at the other house to amuse brilliant women like these." They arrived on the day we had fix ed. AVe pass4l n happy evening, for dinner and country air round off the first day of a visit very easily, and the following morning when I came down Btalrs 1 found the sisters sitting In deck chairs In front of the house. To me they addressed themselves straight. "Now, we Just wanted to say some thing lo you," said one of tlicni. "Would you please iiilud not entertaining us? We don't want to go anywhere, and we don't want to see any one. You'll feed us, we have no doulft, and your beds are delightful, (live us these deck chairs, these lovely gardens, (his per fect air, and we want nothing more. It Is recreation and pleasure to us to feel that we can let ourselves go and do absolutely nothing. There Is an old friend of mother's who Is slaying at a bouse three or four miles away, and If you could make it convenient to lend us the pony cart -no, not the carriage we will go over and pay our respects to her, but otherwise. If you want to bo kind to us, let us be absolutely Idle all the time we are here." I took them at their word, blessed them with all my heart, and they stay ed a fortnight.

'expended many thousands of francs' In the manner described. Many years ago, when the number of marriages In a certain Al satian town was far below the aver age, the municipal authorities publicly announced that all persons who mar ried within a certain period should be exempt from local tuxes for the space of five years. An epidemic of mar riages set in at once. A well known Austrian nobleman was anxious to en courage matrimony among the peasants on his estate. lie undertook to pro vide each bridegroom with tobacco supplies for life and each bride with four pairs of gloves yearly. The offer acted like n charm. Remarkable Font of Slrontrth. Louis de Boulders, who lived In the sixteenth century, could break, a bor of Iron with his hands.
