A Horse Stalked by a Lion.

I think it was while on board the vessel that I heard the following interesting story from Captain (now General) Wallington, tyho was himaelf an eyewitness of wh&t took place: Before tire declaration of peace! this gentleman had been ordered to proceed with a body of artillery on a further voyage up the Tigris. Owing to the tremendous force of the current, and the difficulty of always feeling sure aa to the channel suited to an ocean steamer, it was only possible to proceed during the hours of daylight. As the shades of night approached the vessel would be moored in deep water till the morning. ■ Once, while thus at rest during a very dark night, one of the artillery horses, through some accident, fell overboard, and was instantly swept out of sight at a speed that rendered all help to the poor animal out of the question. The first thing in the morning, however, every one was on the lookout to see if he could perchance observe the form of the missing steed, for the country around was fiat and open, and there was no reason to suppose that the animal, if he should be fortunate enough to effect a landing, would wander to any great distance from the bank, where there was certainly plenty Of water, and more fodder than elsewhere. “See!” exclaimed some one, “there he is.” Yes, he was all right, and grazing contentedly on a poor patch of cultivation which -was mixed up in a straggling sort of way with low scrub jungle. “Why,” said another person, “there is a pig following him about.” On this, telescopes and binoculars were brought to bear upon the distant scene, which was nothing more nor less than the horse being stalked by a lion! In vain did the beast of prey use all its cunning to advance, under cover of the bushes, to springing distance. The horse always seemed to know the whereabouts of his enemy, whom he invariably foiled by trotting just at the right moment into the center of another scanty grain field and there grazing, with such feelings as only another horse could describe, for few human beings would think of eating under these circumstances. At last the lion judged the time had come, and with a bound swift as lightning, was seen flying through the air with a force and precision that seemed to mean instant death to its intended victim. But an artillery charger, trained to the arts of war, and armed with iron hoofs, is not so easy to be made mincemeat of. All were delighted to witness the fine defense made by this courageous courser. Lashing out vigorously, he received the lion with BUch “right and left” that the blows could be heard like the sound of a flail by the people on board the steamer. Not only did the monarch of the forest fall crumpled and worsted to the earth, but unable to renew the combat, he slunk back and vanished into the jungle whence he had coine. —Our Indian Station.

Almost Dangerous.

There were three of us walking over the battle-field of Chickamauga, when we met a colored man in the woods with an old army musket on his shoulder. When asked what game he was after he replied: “I’ze looking fur a pusson named Joe Peasly, an’ when 1 sot eyes on him he’s gwine to drop!” * “What’s Joe been doing?” “He stole my wife away. I’ze been layin’ fur him dese las’ sixteen y’ars. ” “You have been a long time in getting mad about it” “Dat’s a sack, but I’ze mad now.” He dropped behind, and pretty soon we encountered a second colored man. He also hade, musket on his shoulder and a tragic look on his face. “After squirrels?” was asked as he halted. ... “No, sah! I’ze arter a pusson named Sam Benliam, an’ when I sot eyes on him he kin say far’well to dis world!” “ What’s Sam been doing!” “Run’d off wid my wife, sah. I’ze bin huntin’ him for ober fifteen y’ars.” - We passed along, and about ten minutes later the two old muskets began to pop. The fusilade was kept up for a quarter of an hour, and then there was deep silence. When. Wecircled around and struck,*the highway we saw one man legging it up the road and the other down, while a white man nodded to us from his seat on a log and said: “I had to come down and stop it. They have kept this thing up-everyday for the last six months, and the first thing they know they’ll hurt each other. ” —Detroit Free Press. 1

Mercantile Hypocrisy.

In a store: Merchant (to clerk)— Did yon send Hammerton his bill again this-week? . Clerk —Yes, sir. Merchant—What did he say?. Clerk —Said he would be around and pay it Merchant —That’s what he has said for the last six months. He’s the biggest liar in this town. He can never get ten cents’ worth on credit here any more. I reckon we’H have to sue him—sh—here he comes now. Merchant—Good morning, Mr. Hammerton, glad to see you, sir. Won’t you sit down ? Hammerton —No, thank you. I called to settle that bill. Merchant—What bill?—oh, yes. Why, sir, I hadn’t thought of it. You see, the collector has charge of the bills and I pay but little attention to them. Thank you (receiving the money and receipting the bill). Call again, Mr. Hammerton. # Hammerton —I am a little pushed for money at present. Merchant—That makes no difference, sir, none whatever. Whenever you want anything give us a call. Good morning.— Arkansaw Traveler.

Realistic Acting.

Miggles and his Wife were rehearsing for some private theatricals, wherein the lady was supposed to be chiding her husband for returning so late from a convivial party. Miggles got somewhat out of temper at the tameness of his wife’s acting, and petulantly exclaimed : "You are too cold, and not realistic enough, my dear. Throw a littlfe more life in the character. Just imagine it was all real. What would you do were I to come home in a state

of inebriety about midnight?" After Miggles had his hair pulled out by the roots, his head battered so that it looked like, dough, bis eyes in mourning, and his body mopped over the floor several times, Mrs. M. sweetly exclaimed: “Is there life enough in that, my dear? Was I too cold, my darling? What do you think of such a realistic effect, my sweetest?”— Ooodall’s Chicago Sun.

Protect the Wells.

The idea that the water of our wells is the purest obtainable was long ago exploded. Well water may be pure, but its degree of parity depends wholly upon its distance from all filth. It is now admitted that in many soils both air and water travel very freely under the surface. Some are' so - porous and deep that water will easily settle through them and the bulk of the filth be retained on the top loam; and in such cases it may be, said that ordinary cultivation and the growing vegetation will absorb the objectionable element. Water in such localities is regarded pure and safe. But where wells are shallow and dug in ‘clayey or impervious soil, having near to or at their bottom an impervious stratum, they are likely to be receptacles for filth contamination for fnanv rods around. It does not follow that because the contents of sink drains soak out of sight that the deadly element therein is gotten rid of; it too frequently finds its way to the water which the family are prone to extol as the very perfection of purity. It is never safe to depend upon taste in this matter; if there is a source of contamination near the well, rid yourself of it without delay; at least do not rest content until you have had the water subjected to a thorough chemical analysis. Dr. Folsom, who was so long connected with the Massachusetts Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity, said that “it is impossible to say that a well is safe at any ordinary distance from a source of constant pollution of the neighboring soil, like a privy, cesspool, barnyard, etc. ” He further remarks that “there is always a risk,” and that “the ordinary privy should be abolished.” There is no doubt that many cases of scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc., often have their parentage in the cesspool. Typhoid fever, which has in so many cases been traceable to polluted wells, was some years ago found to be most prevalent in the rural districts. To provide proper sanitary measures will, to be sure, take a little time; but it need involve very little expense. Where there is an abundant supply of running water near by, underground drains will satisfactorily dispose of animal filth from a sanitarian point of view; but on the farm it is desirable to utilize this for fertilizing purposes, and an abundant supply of peat or ashes daily thrown into the vault, sink-drain, barnyard, etc., will keep noxious odors' fron the air. If you seek a rule as to how near a well may safely be located to any filth collection, know that if you describe a circle about the well as a centre, with a radius three times its depth, and if there is no cause of pollution within the circumference, the water is probably uncontaminated. —American Cultivator.

Plagues of Mice.

At intervals of a few years the Brazilian colony of Dourenco suffers from a remarkable visitation of field-mice, the latest of which, in 1870, has just been described by Dr. H. Yon Ihring. These creatures, ordinarily not numerous, appeared in enormous quantities, and in a few days destroyed the fields of corn, potatoes, clover, oats, barley, ’gourds, pumpkins, and even weeds, actually damaging houses to a considerable extent and ruining furniture and clothing. The periodical occurrences of these plagues seems to be due to the chief food Bupply of the mice, the seeds of the bamboo-grass, which at regular intervals of six to thirty years matures over a large territory, aud then disappears. The field-mice increase so rapidly that, if all the conditions which keep them in check were removed, a single pear would bear a progeny of 23,000 individuals in a single summer, and every living thing upon the earth would bo consumed in a half-dozen years.

Gabriel.

It was raining in torrents, and Evangeline stood by her window looking out into the night. “Why dost thou wait there, Evange- ■ inquired™.,thomother. “I am waiting for Gabriel, mother,” replied the girl, tenderly. “He will not come, my dear, in all this rain.” “YeS, he will, mother mine. Gabriel does not fear a little wet like this. He is a Baptist. ” In ten minutes Gabriel was in the parlbr asking for a drink of waiter. — Washington Critic. According to the testimony of physicians and coroners, in all parts of the Union, deaths have resulted from the use of cough syrups, containing morphia, opium, and other poisons. In this connection, Dr. Sam’l Cox, of Washington, aftercareful analyses, endorses Red Star Cough Cure as being purely vegetable, and absolutely free from opiates, poisons, and narcotics. Price, 25 cents.

Limit of Hearing.

It has been found by Dr. Tait that the ear in women can perceive higher notes—that is, sounds with a greater nuihber of vibrations per second—than the ear in men. The highest limit of human hearing is somewhere between forty-one thousand and forty-two thousand vibrations per second. Few persons have e iual sensibility to acute sounds in both ears, the right ear usually hearing a higher note than the left. The lowest continuous sounds have about sixteen vibrations,per second. A 'farmer was invited to a party at a country squire’s," one evening, when There was music, both vocal and instrumental. On the following morning he met one of the guests, who said, “Well, farmer, hpw did you enjoy yourself last night ? Were not the quartets excellent ?” “Why, rea’ly, air, I can’t said he, “for I didn’t taste ’em. But the pork chops were the finest I ever did eat.” Dr. R. Butler, Master of Arts, Cambridge University, England, says: “St. Jacobs Oil acts like magic.”

A Plucky Youth.

l When Gen. Tims was about 16 years old he met with an exciting adventure. He got home late one night and entered the house thtougli a window. His father, a very excitable old gentleman, was under the impression that a burglar was in the house, and catching a glimpse of a dark figure in the hall, he fired at it six times with his revolver. Having exhausted his powder and ball, old Tims flashed a light upon the situation and discovered that the supposed burglar was his son. After the flurry was over the boy was asked why he had not revealed his identity. Turning his solemn and impressive face to his father he replied with quiet dignity : “I thought I’d wait till you .got through. I don’t like to interrupt _ ___ n you. •’ . “But, me cheffld,” groaned old Tims, “when the bullets whistled around your head, what were your sensations, what were your thoughts?” “ Which ?” inquired the youngster. “What did you think about?” “Nothing,” was the calm response; “nothing at all.” And that was all they could get out of him. The delighted father was so proud of the boy’s coolness under fire that he related the incident to everybody in town. After that young Tims had a tremendous reputation for courage.—Atlanta Constitution.

Make Haste to Defend Yourself

If you live in a locality where malaria is prevalent, with a preventive that experience indicates as the most reliable of medical safeguards —Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Entirely froe from the objections—and they are valid ones—•which attach to the mineral alkaloid quinine, it is far more effective, and its effects are not evanescent, but lasting, unlike those of the drug. There are portions of our land —and none more beautiful and more fertile—which at no season of the year are entirely exempt from the malarial scourge. In such regions Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has undergone a continuous test for the past thirty years, with results which have established its reputation beyond' all cavil as a special defense against every form of malarial disease. For biliousness, also, it is an acknowledged specific, and it is a potent remedy for constipation, dyspepsia, rheumatism and an impoverished condition of the blood.

The buffalo are very common in the lowa lakes, and frequently weigh as much as sixty or seventy pounds. When the water begins to grow warm in the spring they are around the shores in immense quantities, being generally in bunches of seven or eight. They rise from the bottom to the top of the water until their tails and fins are <!srt; then they make a tremendous rush, causing the water to form and creating a noise which can be heard a mile on a still evening.
