frseiliden Times,/
Mr. Inventrity, member of the Bombay
Bar, and one of the most diatinguielted of
ndin Shikaris, lately contributed to the
Bombay 'Natural History Soolety a paper on
the nutininelia of Somali Lend, where he
went on a shooting expedition laet year,
Referring to lion shooting, he says it is a
very faeonating pursuit it conducted in the
proper manner, which is to track the animal
to where he is lying. At the end of the
track, whieh may lest for several hours, the
eyes suddenly fall on a lion sitting in
dense gloom of a bush a few feet off, or
semetiines it leads into a thicket of thorns
that cannot be penetrated, when the best
plan is tp set fire to it and stand at the
other end,
Mr. Inventrity says he only once found
one sitting M the open -a lionises with a
full-grown cub. They were Bitting on the
open sand under a tinsel' thorn tree. So
well does their eolor harmonize with their
surroundings that he tracked it within
four yards of them without geeing them,
and wonld not have wen them then if they
had not got up. On another camasion his
men pointed to a lionees he was tracking
crouching in the grass a few yards off, but,
although he looked, he could not see her
till he moved her ears, Like every other
animal, the lion tries to avoid men until
wounded,. and it is only in exceptional
oases of there being youngones to guard
or from astonishment at seeing ,the hunters
SO close to them, that they charge when
being traeked.
.Mr. Inverarity was never charged by an
unwounded one. They charge with the
same coughing roar that a tiger does, and
Some at great speed close to the ground, not
bounding in the air as represented in
pictures; their ears are pressed close to the
head, giving them the comical appearanee
of being without ears. He says : "So
large an animal coming at full speed against
you of course knocksyou off your legs. The
claws and teeth entering the flesh do not
hurt as much as you would think. The
only really painful part of the business is
the squeezing given by the jaws on the bone.
I felt none of the dreamy stimor Livingstone
describes, but, on the contrary, felt as usual.
I adopted the course of lying quite still,
which, I believe is the best, thing one can
do, as you are quite helpless with a heavy
animal on you, and they are inelined to
make grab se anything that moves, and the
fewer bites you can get off with the better.
"AU the wounds are centres of inflamma-
tion and blood poisoning, and the more you
get the less chance you have. The power
of the lion's jaws may be ieferred from the
feet that the Renews that seized me,
although it had a broken jaw, scored deep
grooves in the barrels of my ;hie with her
teeth. Seine claw wounds were mere
scratches, which I attribute to the fact that
they clutch at the surface of your coat,
thinking it is all solid underneath, and so
roach the flesh pretty late. • In fact, my
coat was torn in some places without any
corresponding wound beneath. I neer felt
the slightest shock. Tigers and panthers,
as a rum, immediately leave any one they
seize in a charge, but this lioness, having
left me, went a few yards and roared at my
men, returned and stood over me growling,
and then bit my arm. I got no bite the
first go off, as the was occupied in biting
my rifle."
••The W. C. T. L reorganization.
The W. C. T. U. is the largest organiza-
tion of women the world has ever seen. Its
forerunner was the Temperance Crusaders,
and the first crusader was Mrs. Eliza J.
Thompson, of Hillsboro, 0. Mrs. Thompson
was the daughter of a Governor, the wife
of a judge and the mother of a clergyman,
and in 50 days had 50,000 women on their
knees praying in saloons in 300 towns and
-villages. If the W. C. T. U. are impractic-
able theorists they do not know it, but go
nn just as if . they were not. Their latest
40 achievement is•tne building of a $1,000,900
temple at, Chicago, which is to be opened
thismonth. The Chicago Herald says that

The eccentric genius who presides over

paper ,printed at the home of President
Harrison, under the head of "Some
Reasons," does a little bit of paragraphing
which is unique, to say the least
One reason why every Christian is not a
millionaire, itebecause God can't trust him
with so much money.
One reason why people sleepdzi church, is
because the preacher himself IS not wide-
awake.
One reason why some people are not as
wicked as other people, is because they don't
have the same opportunities.
• One reason why some men don't have
better wives, is because they are such poor
• husbands.
One reason why some people belong to
church is because they haven't been put out
One reason why some men are preachers,
is because they are too lazy to be farmers
and blacksinitlas.
One reason why some women marry, is
because they haven't the courage to work
for a living
One reason why some children die young,
is because they get everything they cry for.
One reason why so many peOple are in
prison to -day is because they had poor
mothers and worse fathers.
One reason why the sinner can't see God,
is because he don't look the right way.

A. Remarkable Train.
The most remarkable train that ever
passed over the Grand Trunk Railway
went west ,over the Sarnia branch, and
through the tunnel last Wednesday after-
noon. It was made up of twenty loco-
motive engines, front the Baldwin Loco-
motive Works, Philadelphia,. hauled by
the famoue two -cylinder, ten -wheel loco-
motive, "No, 82," which has become noted
for ite remarkable performance on the
Pennsylvania, Norfolk and Western, East
Tennessee & Georgia, and Chi-
cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroads, and
whioh is going west for tests on railways
running out of Chicago. The train which
it hauled consisted of compound loco-
motives of the Vauclain system, intended
for the equipment of the Chicago & South
Side Rapid Transit Railway, otherwise
known as the Alley Elevated Road. The
aggregate weight of the twenty engines,
comprising the train, was 1,000,000 pounds,
,exclusive of the live engine hauling the
train above described.

contains another statement which has more

The Doctor then goes on to ventilate the
ahenlination of the opium trade in China
and India, From the first venture of
Warren Hastings, who tharted the trade
with 20f1 chests of the poison, which he
eent in an armed vessel and forced on the
Chinese, the trade has grown until about
80,000 chests are now the annual :shipment
Irene India to China. According to those
who study the nature of the pone, even'
four growl of Indian opitim will send the
strongest man unaccustomed to the drug,
into the sleep which knows no walling.
Every pound has poison enough in it to
destoy 1,600 lives very ehets • con-
taining 1,53 pounds of the Edrug lia,spower
to silence forever on earth 2200,000 souls,
Six tlaonsand of these chests carry enough
poison to destroy the whole of earth's in-
habitants, while the 80,000 annually int -
ported under England's auspices, would de-
stroy the Iffe ot twelve vecelds similar to
our own. It has recently been affirmed :by
an educated Chinese lecturer that fifty mil
liona of the Chinese Empire are ,opium
smokers, while twenty-five millions are, be-
yond recovery, its abject slaves. Yet Eng-
land advertises WS opium depots in the rail-
road cars of the East India, Government, and
the evil is belting the world. The secret
of• it all is that nearly thirty mil-
lions of accursed gold comingfrom this traffic
pass into the exchequer of the British Gov-
ernment in India. Yet the London Times
makes the atrociouis statement that when
one year ago the British Parliament adopted
a resolution declaring that "the system"
by which tbe Indian opium revenue is raised
is •merely. indefensible "The House of
Commons was simply having one if its too
familiar spasms of cheap Puritanism."
Every effort is made by the British Govern-
ment in India to increase the sale of opium.
A penalty at the rate of five rupees per
pound on the quantity of opium required to
make nes the stated minimum must be paid
by every licensed dealer who does not sell
a certain amount of opium within a cer-
tain time. England has cleared itself
from the crime of slayers'. It fairly reels
to -day under the stupor of drink, and but
for this its brutality in continuing to poison
the human brain in the Orient by the en-
forced dale of opium would be inconceivable,
but in a nation staggering undet the effects
of alcoholic stimulants, no degradation can
• surprise us.
Our laws, money and highways are all in

HABITUAL HURRY.
It Does a Great 1)ea1 afore Harm Than
People Think.
The number of sudden deaths which occur
every year as a consequence of running to
railway trains and ferryboats is not incon-
siderable.
This kind of over-exertion, however, does
less harm than the common habit of being
continually in a hurry. A habit which
keeps the nervous system at a perpetual
tension leads to excessive vital waste,
undue susceptibility to disease, and in ex-
treme cases to nervous exhaustion. Under
its infineece persona naturally amiable
are transformed into petulant and zioisy
scolds.
The woman who is a wife and mother is
peculiarly liable to this habit, she has so
much to do and so little time in which to do
it, in these days when so many outside
things crowd upon ,her domestic duties.
There is no doubt that hurry claims tea
'victims Where hard work kills one.
The man of business suffers in much the
same manner. The hurried breakfast and
the hurried skinuningof the morning/paper
are but the beginning of a hurried day. Yet
it is unsafe for him to act in a hurry, or in
the spirit generated by it. The uncertainties
of his calling make entire self-control of
prime importance.
School children are victims of the same
evil. They must be at school exactly on
time. But in thousands of cases the family
arrangements are not such as to favor plum-
ttuslity. The child is allowed to sit up late,
arel so is late at breakfast; or the break-
fast itself is late, and the child must hurry
• through it, and. then must hurry off, half -
fed and fully fretted.
If necessary, less work should be done;
but in many cases nothing is needed but a
wiser economy et time. Some of the.worst
victims of hurry are men who daily witit
their work until time presses theme and
then crowd themselves into a fever, pitying
themselves meanwhile because they are so
sadly driven. -Youth's Companion.

Sunflower Seed 011.
In 1842 a Russian named Bokareff con-
ceived the idea of extracting oil from the
sunflower. His neighbors told him it was a
visionary idea and that he would have hi
labor for his pains. He persevered, how
ever, and from that humble beginning th
industry has expanded to enormous pro
'portions. To -clay more than 700,000 acre
of land in Russia are devoted to the culti
vation of the sunflower. The area devoted
fa the orop has nearly doubled in five yeare.
Two kinds of sunflowers are grown, one
with small seeds, which ere °mailed for oil,
and the other with large seeds, that are cote
pureed by the coinnion people in enormous
quantities, very much se people eat peanuts

An English Invention.
A clever English tailor has invented a
new skirt, which is an improvement on the
muddy gown -of the present period. The
skirt is designed chiefly for rainy weather.
It is the 'length of an ordinary skirt, but the
cheviot of which it is composed reaoheis only
within a foot of the ground, where it is
supplemented with a band of leather or of
mackintosh of harmonizing color. This
band is merely buttoned by invisible means
on the skirt. When the wearer returnto
the house it may be unbuttoned, the mud
and dust easily °leaned off, and its place
• filled by a band of cheviot. The great objec-
tion to this dress is that it offers no speoial
protection to the ankles and underskirts,
•which are liable to become badly spattered
by the :Mid and dirt. Being a stiff material,
it will bathe a great deal more spattering he

Row a Toronto Dude Resented an Insult
to His Best Girl.
Toronto News : It was about 9 o'clock
last night on Yonge street and there were a
good many people hurrying or lounging
along. There were girls whose chief aun
was to make themselves seen and heard.
One fair one looked strikingly pretty as
she hurried along the street. Two young
men sauntering along saw her.
"Ah, there 1" they cried, but the pretty
girl kept on her way. They quickened
their pace.
• Some one stepped up and said, "That
will do." • He said it with a bored air, as if
he were indifferent, • and threw open hit
overcoat, disclosing evening clothes. He
wasn't very large, he was almost a dude.
The young fellows looked him over, and
grinned at his silk hat and patent leather
shoes.
• "Say, young feller, I'll smash you," they
said.
"Bold my coat, will you?" said the dude
to the pretty girl, as he slipped it off.
Then he started to turn up his trousers
and one of the fellows hit him on the sideof
the head. He finished turning up his
trousers, and stood up straight.'
His shirt front flashed in the electric
-glare as he shot out his arm and gave the
biggest fellow a blow between the eyes that
sent him sprawling over the curb. The
other youth didn't wait to be hit.
A crowd had gathered and wondered at
the scene.0The young man brushed some
dust from his trousers, put on his coat and
glanced with vexation, almost grief, at a
wrinkle in his shirt bosom. He °ailed a
hack from a livery near by, and Assisted the
pretty girl In.
"Jove, Minnie, how people do stare. I
wish they 'Wouldn't be so beastly rude, don't
you know," he said.
"Wi
Who is he 1" asked someone, as they
drove away,
"Oh1 he is one of the football Cracks. I
guess somelsody insulted his sister," was the
reply.
