ARSON A NARROW SQUEAK. Fighting a Black Leopard Without Weapons, NJE I was a member of a wild animal hunting ex- pedition that worked through the southeastern : = foothills of the Himalaya Mountains in the endeavor to collect fine and rare specimens for a great zoological park in the United States. (We were not after tigers or elephants or other well known game of that kind, but were looking particularly for such specimens as snow leopards, black leopards, wild dogs and the queer rac- coon-bear and other similar beasts, of which there are very few specimens in captivity. Owing to the fact that we were try- fng to take cnimals alive there was a gen>ral order against carrying firearms, and only we leaders of the expedition were allowed to go into the jungle with weapons. The result was that even the white men soon got into the habit of entering the thickets without arms—not a wise thing to do, as it turned out. One hot afternoon while Jim Char- ters and I were sitting in front of the tent we both saw the gaudy body of a fine boa donstrictor gliding away into the jungle, and we both jumped up and followed at once, Jim Char- ters stopping only to snatch a lasso, which was just the thing for him, as he had been a cowboy in the West fcr many years. ‘We had taken several fine snakes with the lasso, and. did not expect any trouble with this one, so we pressed into the jungle without a second thought. ‘We were doomed to disappointment, however, for the snake had disap- peared entirely, and all out search proved unavailing. The pursuit led us pretty deeply-into the jungle, and at last when we gave up the chase we found ourselves in a little amphithe- atre of rock and bamboo. We sat down on a fallen tree to admire the beautiful spot, when suddenly Jim €harters laid his hand gently on my arm and said in a whisper: “Don’t move, Captain, but just squint toward your left; we're in a box.” 1 did as he directed and saw some- thing that gave me a start, crouching closely to the ground and sauirming s1- lently and swiftly as a serpent, was a huge black leopard. Each eye was like a flat green disk, and his tail was quiv- ering and writhing in that wizked, snaky way thau a big cat has when it fs mad. The brute was thin, and a mere glance was enough to show that he was desperately nungry. No doubt our hunting had spoiled the hunting for n’m, and now he was starved into perfect fearlessness. ~#PHis is nice, this is,” whishered Jim, without moving hezd or eyelash. “He's coming on steadily. Now he's stopped. Now he's coming on again. Now he’s stopped. At this rate he’ll be within springing distance inside of ten minutes.” “Haven't you any weapon at all about you?” muttered I, trying to speak pvithout even moving my mouth. “Oh, yes I have,” sald Jim. “I’ve got ~ bea..y of a weapon to fight a - black leopard with. It's a penknife that my littie sister gave me when I visited the folks in New York. I guess that it will hurt that 12opara a lot, cap- tain, won't it?’ And I heard Jim chuckle even in the face of the immi- pent danger. “Here he comes crawling again,” whispered Jim after a moment or two. “There's only one thing to do. Be ready when I give the word. We've _ got to be quick’and not miss a single trick.” “What are you Suing to do?” asked I. “Just this,” said Jim. “It's a wild experiment and may only hurry things up for us, but if it works wo may win out and get the leopard too, and he's n 1 worth Maving, not to mention the joke on him, I'm going to jump up in about another minute when the beast makes another crawl, and I'm going to chuck the noose around his neck. The min ute I do we must both tail on and pull like mad, running as fast as the beast'll let us.” “I'm afraid that the beast won't let us run more than about an inch, Jim," said I, “before he'll be on us and get one of us sure. I don’t think that you can noose leopards the way you can coyotes.” “What I'm figuring on,” said Jim, “is that the brute will do what would seem to be a natural thing. When we start to pull him toward us, he'll pull back instead of leaping at us. Now he's coming on, In a moment I'll Whe-e-e-e.” Jim jumped up and cast his noose with a fierce whoop and I scrambled to my feet instantly and caught hold of the line with him. The leopard was holding back with his Luge claws spread to their full dimensions every one of the talons digging deep into the soft earth while he tried to ling him. “Off we go and yell like sin for help,” panted Jim, as we started to drag the snarling brute from his foothold. Once we had succeeded in doing this, we bling but never relieving the steady strain on the line. I don’t suppose that we were hauling more than a quarter of an hour before our shouts brought our men to help. But it seemed to me to be a month. All the time I expected to feel the im- | pact of the great furry body, because. I felt almost certain that the leopard | would get sense enough, sooner or | later, to stop pulling back on the lasso | and to leap on us. Jim afterward told me that he could feel his shoulder | being laid open by the terrible claws! and the warm blood running Cown his back during all that wild scramble through the jungle. But Juck was with us. The black leopard never once ceasec. to pull back. ward against us, and when the men ar rived he was so wild with rage and so nearly worn out from the choking strain ‘hot he could not put up any sort of .n effective fight, but merely hit nut blindly; and snapped his jaws without any result Two of the men had brought a great net of grass rope along. In a jiffy it was thrown over our enzmy and he was rolled up in it before he knew what had happened. Then a dozen natives danced around here and there, passing ropes all over the net and cleverly avoiding the claws that were stuck through the meshes, until they had the beast absolutely woven in a great mass of twine. A huge, long bamboo was passed through the meshes, and the leopard was car- | ried into camp, where he was soon safely encased in a strong bamboo cage. He turned out to be a beast of quite exceptional size and in maguificent coat. We got him to the coast safely, and landed him all right in the end in the Zoo that wanted him. | I have always thought it a ty that the thousands who admi e him now cannot know the strange way he was caught. But though our way of hunt: ing big cats had turned out to be such a success, neither Jim Charters nor I| have ever cared to try ic again. We | shall never forget thet quarter of an hour in the jungle with the brute in tow.—New York News, Condemned by a Pronoun, There is now being rectified In| France, after nearly forty years, a mis- carriage of justice which in its origin is probably the strangest in the crim- inal annals of the whole world. It may be said to have been caused by a | pronoun. A young fellow named Gauth- ier and his mother were in 1867 con- demned to penal servitude for life for | the murder of the woman's second | husband, a worthless drunkard, who | was drowned one dark night by falling into some deep water as he made his way home late, badly intoxicated. The evidence which mainly convicted the two accusel was that of «= witness who swore to having heard the dead man shout: “A moi; on me moie.” The convict's mother is long since dead, and the convict son, now an old man, has managed to interest men willing to as- sist in his rehabilitation. In the pres- ence of a past and of the present Min- ister of Justice and of criminal experts the whole scene of the tragedy bas been reconstructed after thirty-nine years. Strangest fact of all, a villager has been found, a woinan, who though not called at the trial, deiared ‘hat she heard the cry of the drowning man, and that his words really and clearly were: “A moi; je me noie”—a pronoun that made the difference of almost life and death.—London Globe. | | | Australia’s New Jerusalem, “New Jerusalem,” in its celestial sense, is a phrase familisr to the sing- | ers of hymns and the hearers of ser- | mons; but it may not be generally known that there is a terrestrial “New Jerusalem” within the bounds of our own empire. It isa settlement in west: ern Australia, and has just been ofii- | cially inspected by the local minister of lands, the Hon. N. J. Moore. It was founded three years ago by a converted Jew named Solomon Fisher. He es: tablished the “Church of the First Born,” whick is apparently a combina- tion of Christianity and Judaism. He obtained a grant of 10,000 acres of land from the western Australian govern: ment, and there located his settlement, which has now a population of sixty. one, who all profess the peculiar faith of the founder.—Londcen Chronicle, { f | There re nearly 23,000,000" horses in Europecn Russia.

Hauling Manure to Field, While it is admittedly the better plan to get the manure to the fields as soon after it is made as possible, the plan has its greatest value when the ma- nure is spread as soon as it is placed on the soil—that is, do not put it in heaps to spread at some later period, but, if possible, load it from the stable directly into a spreader, so that as soon as it reaches the field it can be put on the soil, where it will leach in dur ing the winter, The idea of carting the manure direct to the field is to have it improving the soil instead of letting a portion of its virtue go into | the air, as is the case when it lays in the barnyard all winter, Poultry Yards and Shrubbery. The best poultry yard for fowls | that have not free range is the one with plenty of shrubbery in it and one in which grass may be sown to allow the birds plenty of green stuff to eat. It is advisable to have two vards, and while the birds are living in one sow some seed in the other. It is also a good plan to turn the soil in | the yards and the birds will get many worms and insects. If there are no | trees or shrubs in the yards it is very | little trouble to plant a few there. The | hens, and little chicks, especially, will appreciate them on hot days. It is not | a pleasant thing for a hen to be com- | pelled to remain ont in the broiling sun, with a flock of little ones, trying to keep cool. And then so many per- sons forget to give plenty of fresh water to their fowls in hot weather. There is nothing that is more of a drawback to the health and comfort of the birds than to be forgotten when the days are so warm. They get run down and their systems are in a condition to get all the diseases that are around.—Mirror and Farmer. going at mrt An Early Start, Whether for hay or pasture, the land ] one treated in ‘the former way and the should be deeply plowed and well har- rowed, so as to have the soil in the finest possible condition. This is cs- sential, for the reason that the young plants will have better facilities for feeding and will rapidly increase in root growih before the warm days of July and August. The more early the growth the grass can make the better it will be able to endure a dry spell, If manure is used it should be thor- oughly decomposed in order that all seeds or weeds may be destroyed, as it is difficult to get at weeds growing on a grass plot. The safer method is to apply fertilizers. Wood ashes are ex- cellent, but a mixture of 100 pounds of acidulated ground bone (or phos- phate rock), 125 pounds of sulphate of potash and fifty pounds nitrate of soda per acre, if the land is in moderate condition, will give the grass an early start and enable it to become well es- tablished before meeting with lack of moisture. The main point in the grow- ing of a grass crop is to get an even and uniform stand at the beginning, for any gain at the start will be of ad- vantage at later periods of growth. While mixed grasses should be pre- ferred on a pasture field, it is better to grow hay crops singly—unmixed—the mixing of the foods to be done at the barn when feeding the animals after harvesting the grass crops. It is bet- ter for the farmer not to depend upon a single kind of hay crop, as a pro- longed drought may destroy it. In- stead of growing clover and timothy { only, there should be ficlds of cowpeas, Hungarian grass and fodder corn, which can if necessary be seeded late and mowed at any stage of growth, according to circumstances.—Philadel- phia Record. The Mating of Fowls, Few things are more worthy of care- ful attention than the proper mating of poultry. If one, for instance, has a flock of common hens, it is possible, by placing them with a thoroughbred male and securing a new cockerel of the same breed each year, to change in three years’ time all the common blood to that which is pure and thus have a flock of pure bred of the male variety. The way to bring it about is to select, according to the egg-record, the best two-year-old hens one has and then purchase a thoroughbred rooster, nine or ten months old, of such breed as he desires. The chief point in doing this is to keep in mind that the weak characteristics in the females should be the strongest in the males. The next year the most promising pullets from this mating in shape, color and other points, should be selected and placed with another cockerel as be- fore. The pullets then obtained will be likely to grow fast, feather rapidly Accordingly, they { should be mated, not to a young rooster but to a thoroughbred cock two years old of the same breed, though not from the same breeder as the others were purchased. Any reliable breeder who understands his business ean furnish the right kind of a bird if the would- be buyer will only write him, designat- ing the shape, color and general charae- teristics of his pullets. The results of this mating should be a lot of very fine poultry, including valuable cock- erels, all of which will find a ready market anywhere at good prices. Thus, by selecting the nearest standard pul- lets in color, shape and characteristics, one may carry the grading up still further year by year and ultimately have the finest birds that it is possible to breed.—The Epitomist. Lime in the Dairy. There Is no better purifier, disinfect- ant and germicide for use in the dairy than ordinary lime. It is so cheap as to be within the means of every dairy- mani Unlike so many disinfectants, it is non-poisonous, while at the same time it is thoroughly efficient and easy of application, whether as a wash for the walls or as an addition to water used for cleansing vessels which con. tain milk or cream. There is no rem- edy which will sweeten a badly cone taminated churn. Before it gets to that stage it should be destroyed, but to prevent a churn “going off” or rather to always maintain it in a sweet and wholesome condition, it should be filled once or twice a week up to the top with lime water and allowed to stand overnight, The water may be used again to wash the walls, floors, ete The following is an excellent method of making lime water: Put a quantity of unslacked lime into a tank or barrel, fill up with water and stir well. After settling, the water will be clear and a gseum (carbonate ‘of lime) on the sur. face. Use clear water without dis. turbing the lime at the bottom. When emptied fill up again with water and stir; then leave to settle and so on. The quantity of lime first used wil! serve for many fillings of the vessel with water. As long as the carbonate of lime appears on the surface after settling, it may be considered of suf- ficient strength. Every dairy or fac- tory should have a tank placed in a high position, with taps laid on to re quired places. Lime water should be used by all milk suppliers to rinse buckets and milk cans after they have been cleansed. The cause of milk turning sour so quickly in cans, is often on account of the bacterial start: er left in the vessels previously used. A simple experiment will demonstrate this to be true. Rinse one can after cleansing with lime and after leaving the cover on for some time, compare with another can that has not been rinsed with lime water and has also had the cover left on. There will be | a noticeable difference in their appear: ance and in the aroma arising from them. Again, if two cans are taken, other in the latter, it will be found {hat the milk will keep much better in the one that was rinsed in lime water. There is very little extra trou. ble involved in observing this simple precaution to secure cleanliness and the expense is not worth mentioning.— W. R. Gilbert. Poultry Notes, The best breeds will not be profitable if they are mismanaged. The smaller the poultry quarters the cleaner they must be kept. Provide nests where they are handy for hens and handy to gather eggs from. Poultry is the cheapest and most eco- nomical and best meat raised on the farm. Are you giving your poultry the at. tention you give the other stock or just allowing it to shift for itself? Coarse food promotes digestion and helps to keep the fowls in a healthy condition. Feed as much of it as pos- sible. Do not simply throw the water out of the drinking vessels and put in fresh water, but wash the vessel thor- oughly every time you change the water. } We suspect that in a good many cases where the egg yield fails to come, though all due attention is said to be given the pouliry, the fault is due to ir- regular care. If market poultry is chiefly desired, begin by killing off all the two-year: old birds. Discard, also, all the late hatched stock, as breeding from these tends to decrease the size of yuor stock. An experienced farmer poultryman says that the best way to keep poultry droppings is to put them in a barrel and keep them slightly moist, using dishwater or soapsuds where available. When fenced away from gardens and flower beds fowls cause but little ane noyance on a farm. They do an im- mense amount of good in the protection of crops by the destruction of injurious insects, larvae and worms. Poultry may be raised with the great- est economy on large farms, where there is unlimited range, and exhaust: less supply of insects and worms and abundance of seeds and grains going to waste which poultry alone can utilize. Where one habitually allows other things to interfer with his work with his poultry, irregularities become sc numerous that his poultry keeping is likely to be remarkable chiefly by long periods of unproductiveness, and al most constant losses, Too often the only thing a farmer does toward selecting breeders is tc obtain two or three big roosters, size being their only merit. But it is more important that they have vigorous con: stitutions, symmetrical forms, right color of skin and plumage. If the fowls the farmer has on hand are of large size, and it is desired to improve their laying qualities, purchase pure bred Leghorns, white or brown as fancy dictates—cock to mate with pullets and cockerels to mate with yearling females. Or, if_the size is to be increased, Brahma blood will do the work effectually. !

J. Paterson, I, R. C, 8, in a lecture delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons, of England, at London. During the course of his remarks the lecturer discussed the re- moval of the whole stomach as a rad- fecal cure for malignant disease. The lecturer, observed, says The London Standard, that while the value of a good stomach is undoubted, fortunately Nature is able to dispense with this organ, as most of its functions can be | performed vicariously by other por- tions of the alimentary canal. Nature has duplicated three of the four functions performed by the stomach, although the loss of the gas- tric secretion cannot altogether be compensated. “Those who have lost it,” says one authority, “have one weapon the less in the struggle for ex- istence.” It has been shown that dogs may gain in weight and remain in perfect health after removal of the entire stomach, while the elaborate observations made on a patient prove that the same holds good of human be- ings. These observations record that the absorption of albumen was unaf- fected, and no putrefactive changes oc- curred in the intestines, which shows that the absence of the gastric juice does not lead to decomposition in the intestines. Until some other cure for cancer is discovered, wide removal is the ideal operation. WORDS OF WISDOM , Inspiration is might'2: iban exhorta- tion. Kaith in God makes some hope for man.

Not “a Foolish Struggle.” An Indiana girl of seventeen recent. ly took her own life, leaving a note in which she described life as *‘a foolish struggle” adding ‘‘the sooner we get out of it the better.” How can any one so regard life? Ask the patriarch who sits amid the falling shadows and re- counts the achievements of the well- spent years; ask the matron whose de- clining days are made glad by the com- panionship of virtuous children and grandchildren; ask those who, strong in faith, are devoting themselves to the world’s work or ministering to the needs of thogze who require assistance— ask any of these and the answer will be that life instead of being “a foolish struggle” is a glorious drama in which pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow are so mixed that the love of a Heavenly Father shows forth with increasing clearness as the facts and scenes suc- ceed each other. Only those can look upon life as a “foolish struggle” who view it from a celfish standpoint and, pursuing false jdeals, are blind to its splendid possi- bilities and its great rewards. Be- cause so much depends upon one’s con- ception of life—upon one's ideals—it is the duty of the parents, the school- teacher and the religious instructor to set before the people—and especially the young—ideals that will inspire to noble endeavor.—The Commoner, A Large Family.

A BUSY WOMAN, Can Do the Work of 3 or 4 If Well Fed, An energetic young woman living Just outside of N.
