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

Most species of wild animals usually

ltaker .oi.ee came upon a y. ilr of old
bulls which, while fighting bad got
their horns Interlocked bo they could
not get loose. Having a rifle of great
effectiveness, be killed them both at ono
shot
The buffalo Is not only oue of the
most redoubtable of tig liters, but Is ul-
the most ruthless aud ferocious,

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

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

ART OF ENTERTAINING.

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. When they left they
declared they bad never spent u fort
night to such good purpose, and we
had become bo fond of their cheerful
ness and homelike company that we
were loath lo part with. IIhmii even
then. But think If 1 bad trie 1 lo enter
tain them and tliey had submitted to
be entertained and to have every hour

Premium t'ptiu MnrrliiKt.
Iu certain quarters of the world en
ticing premiums are put upon early
marriages. Some yearn ago the mayor
of n southern town 'In Trance .offered
n reward of $'20 to every couple under
the nge of twenty-four who sought the
matrimonial altar during bis term of
otllce. .Tbo mayor . '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.

ORIGIN OF WHI3T.
rflie dame Wtitf l-'lrnt CiiIIimI Triumph

Whist was llrst called t.'luinpli, a
name which was afterward corrupted
Into trump. The eighteenth century
saw whist In IH primitive form, tho
whole object of the game being to win
I tricks by leading high cards or by
trumping. Then came the era of Hoyle,
which may be Haiti to have I isled from
l 17oi) to ISiIU anil taught' players lo
think not only of their own hands, but
of tho other bands also, and to take
advantage of the positions o." the cards
In them. Iloyle also tn ight that
trumps might he more pro ilnhly cm
ployed than Iu simple triii'iplug and
showed that they might be i scil to dis
arm the adversary and lo .Main sec
ondary advantage In trick unking by
other suits of less apparent power. II:
was not until 1'tHO that the philosoph
ical era can be said to have begun, and
tho origin of tho new movement was n
knot of young men at Cambridge, Eng
land, known as the Lltlle Whist school.
This hotly kept records of Its games,
but no one thought of making the data
known until 1801. Coherence In the
system of play was still wanting, and
this was supplied In 1H0-I with lr.

DESERT SHEEP HEADERS.
Their Lonely, Drenr? 1,1 fe Tenila to
Ilrlre Them mr.j-.
Do you realize what It menus to
wntch 0,000 sheep alone In the desert?
Ton have read weird, grewsouie stories
of the horror of the solitary lighthouse
keeper's life, but coinpnred to the days
of the Mexican shepherd tl use of the
average keeper of the light are filled
with gayety and noise. Uvea with
their one or two dogs (he shepherds
often go Insane, and were It not for the
company of their shaggy collies the
lunacy among them would rise to mi
almost Incredible percentagt, If we are
to believe those who have followed the
sheep In the desert anil therefore may
lie supposed to know.
Once In old Sarin Ee, N. M., 1 met a
mail who for twelve years had follow
ed the sheep. His work was done. All
day long be sat In a chair In the rear
of a little dobe store, crouched over,
gibbering lo himself, bleating mi Idiot.
; He sllll saw bis sheep swaying like n
! great white wave among the sage
brush, and ever In his ears sounded I he
killing monotone of (heir bleats. One
boy, though fifteen years of age, Is
mentally no further advanced than tho
nverage child of five. His father Is a
shepherd, bis mother died when lie was
four years old, and Ills father took blm
out upon the range. All his life lias
been spent among the sheep. He Is one
with them today.
How Is It possible, (hen, yon ask. that
men are to be found willing to watch
them? It Is very-easy, fhecp herding
Is a l.i:'y job at best, and the "greaser"
Is the la::iest creature on earth. Eur :?J0
n month he Is willing to sit In the sand
and listen to (he never ending Ideating
until tlie little mind he lut-t :;l..: way
and they fetch him In from the range
Insane. He Is glad to take (he chance
for .'0 a month.
T'.iP greaser Is not the only shepherd
In tint west. On the vast rans'es of Ne
vada and Wyoming you may run across
an occasional colleg" man tending tho
sheep. Once, Indeed, a college professor,
ill of consumption, undertook to follow
fi,0' li hicafcrs for the summer. In au
tumn they found him Insane, on his
hnr.ds and knees among the sheep.
Ideating with thein. Day after day his
eye i behold only a brilliant turquoise
sky, in which h in :s a mm of brass; an
ocean sweep of sago flecked sand and
a nlowdy moving, compact mass of
sheep. His ears bear no sound save the
sle.oly "I'.tia, baa!" day and night, af
fecting blm as the Chinese criminal of
ancient days was affected by the regu
lar tap. tap of a hidden drum.
And yet so long as the desert contin
ues to provide food for the "bidders"
so long will shepherds go mad among
the (locks, rial for ten years fhedesert's
greatest value to man has been the
food it has offered the sheep, nor yet is
the store depleted. Pilgrim.
The Wlrlieilnemi of f.ron-liiK Olil.
Here are the three deadly symptoms
of old age: Selfishness, stagnation. In
tolerance. If we find them In ourselves we may
know we are grow ing old, oven if we
itrp on (lie merry side of (I irty. I'.nr,
happily, we have three defel ses, which
nre invulnerable. If we us ; them we
shall die young If we live t'- be a hun
dred. , They are: Sympath;- progress,
tolerance.
The llrst Is the hardest o most of
us, because our own little prison of
the actual Is so Immensely Ii iportant to
us. There is no denying th fact that
when you have n toothache yourself it
Is hard to have to consider other peo
ple's aches. But It can be tb ne. though
it generally involves physica effort, for
we must bestir ourselves an 1 oct. The
mere feeling of sympathy e pressed by
action Is a poor, useless thing, but the
soul, determined not to grow old, can
forte the body to such physical effort,
though there is no denying that It Is
hard work. Harper's Bazar.
TnnOinelie.
Toothache Is something to be dread
ed. Until n dentist can be consulted
and the exact cause of tho disturbance
located and professionally treated It Is
an excellent thing to moisten the finger
nnd. after dipping It Into some bicar
bonate of soda, rub It on the gum round
the t; ore tooth. It Is also o relief ti
mix a tes.spoonful of this bicarbonate
of sotln in half a glass of warm water
nnd rinse the mouth with some every
little while, boiling n little in the
mouth for a few seconds so that It
penetrates all the crevices. The soda,
being an alkali, serves to neutralize the
acids In the mouth, which are often tbe
cause of toothache.
Knew the frond.
A street preacher in n west of Scot
land town culled a policeman who- was
passing and complained about beinj
annoyed by a certain section of the au
dience and asked him to remove tbe
objectionable ones.
"Weel. ye see," replied tbe cautious
officer, "it would be a bard job for me
tae spot them,' but I'll tell ye what I'd
dae If I were you."
"What would you do?" eagerly In
quired the preacher.
"Just gae round wl' the hat!" v
II ti Line.
"Yes," said the lecturer, "I'm deal
ing In furniture these days."
"How Is that?" asked a listener.
"Making one night stands under a
lecture bureau, with the help of the
time tables." Baltimore American.
