Thea4 were five of us encamped at the t fasesof Chickasaw mountain, Montana, altar had given my ankle a bad twist and was fem. up for repairs. We had a shanty in the edge of the thicket, and before leaving camp after dinner the boys slung me up a hammock between two cedars and helped me iuto it. We had a half-breed for a cook and all-around man, and so T was not to be left alone. I smoked a cone pie of pipes after getting into the harass mock, had some conversation with Jim *bout the horses and the supply of food, and before I realized that I was ever sleepy I had departed for the land of Nod. The half-breed saw that I slept and went over to the grazing -ground, half a mile away, to see that all was right with the horses. He meant to return at once, but found diversion and delay in setting snares for the hareshesaw running about. I slept for perhaps half an hour—not more. When I awoke I was still lying on nay right side and facing the heavy growth of cedars clothing the base of the moun- tain. There was no yawning or stretch- ing; I simply opened my eyes and was wide awake. My head was' elevated so tutthat I could see about me, and my eyes were scarcely open when they fell upon a mountain lion and her cub advancing up- on me. The shanty was to the west of me and about two rods away. To the south, and about the same distance, was a "wick- , C ups'" pf'brush for the cook and his cautp- fi. r(;»: •^ The lioness audher cub were advanc- ing front the east, They need not pass the shanty nor the fire to reach me. They were out of the underbrush and into the open, and had probably had their eyes on me for ten minutes before I awoke. While the hammock seemed to puzzle them, the mother at least had the scent of a man in her nostrils and her actions went to show that she meant to attack me. The cub was about half-grewu, and I had not had my eyes on the pair thirty seconds when I concluded that the mother was coaching him. When I awoke he was ten feet be- hind her and acting as if he meant to run away. She coaxed and threatened hint by turns until he advanced to her side. She then crouched down and wormed herself along the ground and gave hint a lesson i0 advancing upon. his prey. At tite enol of twelve or fifteen feet she looked back and growled and ::witched her tail and the re- luctantly imitated her. This brought them to within thirty feet of sue, with the ground all clear. • lIad I started up and shouted for Jim the Hous might have run away or the mother alight have attacked me.

The game is by no means easy; its fact, one of England's foremost players asserts that it takes six 1)101111114 of steady play to acquire consistent form. You must hit the ball properly to send it in the desired dreetion and you must deal with it as you find it; you cannot arrange the Mail to snit your better advantage nor await a more satisfactory one, as in baseball and cricket. The club mast be held correctly and swung accurately in order to properly ad- dress the ball, from -which the player should never take his eye, while at the • same time lie must move absolutely freely, - and yet maintain an exact balance. 13e- - sides which, it demands judgment and good temper, and if you fail in the latter , your play will be Weakened ou the many trying occasions that arise.

The hole in his head was Its big routed as a half dollar, yet he tried pluckily to live it down, and only turned up his ventral fin after ten days. The two biggest sea ravens also had a bitter experience. When they were hook- ed the enthusiastic, 1uhlateur scientists put them into a pail than was too small for theta, and consequently when they were put into the tank they remained bent like bows for several miserable hours. Now they are straightened out and as full of oI'iginal sin as over. The other specimens fared better after Prof. Woodman bad gently hinted Oita fish were not made of boiler iron. The anglers are naturally the most in- teresting fish of the lot to landlubbers, both on account of their habits and their hideous appearance, The angler is n pollywog monstrously magnified, with see -weed trimmings. The two specimens in the aquarium are excep- tionally perfect. The sea -weed -like fringe along their jaws is uninjured and. they possess the fall complement of long tentacles o11 the heard and back, These they erect and wave gently in the water to 11(81(et small fish who think the deceitful things are COlflP,tll 111g good to eat. The Coxey armies would have another cause for grievance against things in gen- eral 11 they could see those two anglers. They lie still with their chasms of mouths half open and the foolish killies, with which the tank is well supplied, swim right in. The angler does the rest. Ilia month reaches clean to lain tail, which is also curious, being exactly like a big, muscular hand. The skate doesn't like the angler at all. Whets he was hove into the whale pool he aw11311 around madly o14 the surfaoe, flap- ping his wings like a turkey buzzard and turning up his eyes in disgust.
