The is an old saying that any man ellbdue a wild animal by merely gazing into its eyes. 'tee it is a much debated questien whether sueh a thing ie possible, and there are some hunters who believe that the human eye has absolutely no power over wila animals. `South African sporteran one de- termined to put the question to test. Approaching a large ostrich, he gazed fixedly at it, and tie his delight.. the mesmeric glanee seemed to meet with imniediate success, The bird crouched and flapped its wings nervously. Some hours later, however, the man's body was found with the ostrich alternately sitting and jumping upon it. Another believer in the human . eye experimented on a wild cat confined in a zcologioal garden. He afterward confessed that but for the wires of the cage his face would have been torn to pieces. A very different story is related of a negro attached to an African hunte -Lug party. Wandering one day from camp he surprised twd lion cubs at play, and theughtlessly commenced to amuse them. He was only too suc- cessful. '.Ehe, big cuns gambled fearlessly about him, and to his dismay refused to desist when he wished to leave them. Realizing the danger to which he would be exposedshould the mother arrpear, he began to ritn,but the pubs refused to be shaken off, and in their Play they scratched his legs in,fearful fashion. That the creatures were thoroughly • enjoying themselves was evident from their man festations of de:ight, ani be.• . long their unusual cries brought •a lioness leaping to the' spot: ; Trembling in every limb, the negro faced the glowing animal, while the cubs continued to jump up at him, eager for farther caresses. The en- raged lioness moved. round uneasily in a circle, man and beast k.eeping their eyes fixed steadily on each other. Sev... erai ;times the lioness crouched to spring, but the man, from fear. never shifted his gaze. At length, after what seeined an. age, when the negro was ready to drop from exhaustion, the animal suddenly =lied her cube away and disappeared into the surrounding scrub. : BATTLE WITH A BIRD. •••••••• A.• Monne Endian's Exciting Experience lime a 1.0031. The loon, or great northern diver, is g powerful bird. The following in- stance of one of them conquering a man, happened a few years ago. A young Micmac Indian, living at Grand Lake, Nova Scotia., wanted to get the skin of one of these beautiful birds to present to his mistress on her birthday. One day the youth, who was an adept at imitating the peculiar soba Lang cry of the loon, succeeded in call- ing a bird within shooting distance. His shot, however, fiiiled to kill out- right, and the bird, although so sev- erely wounded that it could neither swim nor dive, yet retained sufficient life and strength to remain upright in the water. The boy, thinking that his game did not need another shot, swamout to retrive it; but when he approached near enough to seize the bird, it sud- denly made n dash at him, sending its head and neck out with a spring like an arrow from a bow. It was only by a quick duck of his heart that the In- dian succeeded in evading the blow. He swam about the loon several times, at- tempting to dash in ana seize him by the neck, but the wary bird succeeded in foiling each effort by continually facing him, and lunging out with his powerful neck. The Indian then swam up to within a few feet of the bird, and diving un- der him, with considerable skill caught him by the legs. He carried him un- der, and although the bird struggled fiercely, managed to retain his hold. But when they both rose to the sur- face again a battle royal began, , the Indian seeking to carry his prize ashore, and the bird attempting to re- gain his freedom. The bird, however, was too much for his foe, and before the Indian had covered a yard on Ms • sbore-bound course, disabled him with a vicious blow from his beak full on the naked chest. The effect of the blow was almost • instantaneously fatal, for the beak penetrated close to the youth's heart. SAGE ADVICE. It is not often that a lawyer gives betterNadvice aed asks no fee for it, - than was once given by a certain Irish • judge, who must have had both a ffense of justice and a sense of humor. A turbulent peasant was a witness in a trial before Chief Baron O'Grady. T.he council, after pestering himfor some time, put a question to him which reflected on the witness's char- acter, Lf ye ax rae that again I'll give ye a kick was the answer. The cbuncil appealed to the court, •sttting that an anseaer was necessary to his client's case, and ending up with the query: What wduld your lordship advise me to do ?

Peach Kisses -Have ready 12 fine ripe peaches pared and halved. Boil 1 pint suger and 1-2 pint water until it is brittle, when a little is dropped in cold water. It should break with a snap when tested. Dip the halved peaches, one after another, into the syrup, and set away on a buttered dish in u cool place to harden. While they are hardening, whip the whites of 4 eggs until the bowl containing them may be inverted without dropping them. Mix lightly in 5 tablespoons white powdered sugar, and 2 table- spoons blanched and rather finely chapped almonds. Drop in large spoenfuls in a pan of boiling water and cook for a minute or two, then lift out carefully and place on a large plate. Fill each 'of the peach halves vaitli this mixture, rounding the tops slightly, and keep in a cool place un- til time to serve. These are delicious. May be served with or without whip- ped creara. Peach Floating Island -Cut the top off a loaf of rather stale sponge cake, scoop out the inside, leaving a base and sides about an inch thick. Fill with fresh sliced peaches, sprinkled with sugar, and heaped with whipped cream. Set on ice for a short time. Jest before serving pour around the cake a nice soft custard. Peach Trifle -Put a layer of sliced and sweetened peaches in a deep glass dish, and cover this with a thick lay- ef of sponge cake crumbs. Pour over this a 'soft custard while yet warm, reserving two of the whites, to which add 2 tablespoons white sugar, and beat for the meringue. Serve very cold. Peach Cobbler -Put a quart of pared and sliced peaches in a 2 -qt. granite pudding dish, add 1-2 cup of water and place, covered, on the back of the range, and let simmer until tender. Sprinkle a little sugar over them, and little bits of butter. Rub 2 rounded tablespoons of butter into 2 rounded cups of flour ; add 1 teaspoon sugar, 1-2 teaspoon salt and 2'rounded tea- spoons of baking powder. Mix well, then stir in lightly 1 cup water, but do not beat it. , Plaoe it by spoonfuls in a circle upon the fruit, leaving a large opening in the center. It will spread in rising so as to nearly cover the center. Bake in a brisk oven, and serve hot with any nice, sweet sauce, or with cream, if preferred. Peach Meringue -Pare and slice 1-2 doz. fine, ripe peaches, sprinkle over them 1 cup granulated sugar. Place them in a granite pudding dish. Scald 1 cep 'milk, add to it the yolks of 3 eggs, beaten with 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 dessertspoon cornstarch stirred smooth in a little cold milk. Cook this custard until thick, then pour it over the peaches. Beat the whites of the eggs very stiff, add 2 tablespoons white sugar, spread over the custard and brown delicately in a quick oven. Serve very cold. Peach Rice Meringue -Cook 4 table- spoons well -Washed rice in 1 pint milk until tender, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and whisk in the yolks of four eggs. Continue whisking until quite a light froth is made. ; Whisk up the whites of the 4 eggs to a Stiff now, add to them 1 tablespoons white sugar and 1 drop of essence of almonds. Put the whisked rice on a deep pie dish in a heap, spread the whites over it, dust with sugar and brown slightly in a apuick ovsin reten done, PCP sliced peaches around the base, sprin- kle with sugar, cover with whipped cream and serve, Peach Sandwiches -Beat together 4 eggs and their weight in powdered sugar, butter and flour. Add a pinch of salt. Beat for quite 10 minutes. Butter a shallow baking pan, pour in the batter and bake for about an min- utes. Let it cool. Spread half the cake with peach jelly or jam place the other half over it, pres,s lightly to- gether, then out into finger pieces. ,• Compote of Peaches with Custard - Make a syrup with 3-4 lb. sugar and 1-2 pint water.. Let it bail 10 min- utes, then turn in it 2 lbs. of fine ripe peaches, pared and sliced; let stand till cold, then turn into a deep glass dish. Serve with a rich custard. BRITISH HOUSEKEEPING. We cannot help admiring the neat business system on which English • households are run. A family knows • exactly what it can afford, and equally well what it cannot; it lays out it's year's, its month's, its week's, its day's allowance with rigid hand. Certain things must be had, of course; one's afternoon tea cannot be omitted, for instance. But fruit, which we con- sider So essential,is by no means i thought necessary n England. They eat enormous quantities of bread, and name cheese than butter. Cheese is another necessity of life. But pies - tarts as they call them -are luxuries, and so are cakes. A man dines well off a chap and a stick of celery, if need be; but he must have his wine. Our men, in similar circumstances, would not dream of wine, but would Consume a large segment of apple pie, and a ' cup of coffee. In regulating the Eng- lish family expenses, therefore, tea, which is drunk et breakfast as well as in the afternoon, and wine or beer play a large part ; but fruit and Coffee may be altogether absent. Housekeepers make a businees of their domestic, callin,g They don't talk about it as it it were a burden, or try to get rid of it. The sugar and tea and eggs are weighed out, for the day, the orders are varitten down, the menu is made out. If a new dusting cloth is needed, it is provided with tiolemn in- junctions as to how bang it must last and severe strictures on the carele,se- matters are dismissed uutil the next morning.. 1.418 bealatY ba tae aVerage middle elacts system of English housekeeping is that it looks liberal and is ao eco- nomical -that is to say so measured. In.Ereneh honses there is nothing left frcan one clay to another in Englielt, houses there is a great deal left, but it is earefully kept and re -prepared, and not one ounce is wasted. It eosts more than Frenela housekeeobag but there is more comfort in it. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Wheta waking tomato soup add a ra.w'cucurnber•sliced fine, boil soft and strain with tomato, It gives pleasant seasoning. Add a cup of good cider vinegar to the water in which you boil fish. Small pickles, olives and capers mina - ed fine are au excellent seasoning for a salad dressing, A fine seasoning for chicken salad is to slice an onion on the top of the prepared chicken and let it marinate two hours or more, adding, at the same time, a few drops of prepared chevriL , Be sure that every' particle of the on- ion is taken from the chicken before adding the dressing. I Boston baked beans can be improved by adding a cup of sweet cream the last hour of baking. I A new sada water drink may be made at home and consists of a large spoonful of toe cream with a generous supply ot thick chocolate syrup pour- ed over -the top. I A novel way to make sandwiches is to use horseradish grated while fresh, instoad of mustardSpread in a thin layer upon each buttered slice, and the result will be found an appetizing sur- prise. 1 Poultry and meat, on being served oold, may be improved in appearance by glazing. The process is simple. An excellent glaze may be found by dis- eolviing a half ounce of gelatine in a pint oa water, flavoring and coloring it with extract of beef. To be perfect- ly successful the meat must be cold !before the glaze is put on, and the first coat should be allowed to dry be- fore the seetand is added. The glaze must be warm and applied with a brush. I Three tablespoonfuls of freshly - made japan tea, with a bit of nutmeg, give an indispensable flavor to an apple pie. I To give fine flavor to corned beef hash, use good stock for moistening with a pinch of salt, sugar and cay- enne. One of the best "mouse soarers" is the foliage of the walnut tree. When traps are useless the above is most 1 successful, and for those to whom such !leaves are obtainable, there need be no more worry about those annoying lit- tle animals. Even after the foliage I has been dried it is still effectual in driving them away., On the continent ' where country folk bury such vege- tables as turnips, carrots, celery, etc., for winter use, a layer of the above keeps rats and mice away, 1 Damp cupboards and rooms can be made dry and airy by placing a basin of fresh lime where tbe moisture pene- • trates, to the detriment of food, linen, etc. The lime quickly absorbs the un- wholesome humidity and the remedy need only be repeated every now and then. In living roora.s, which are not to be depended upon as •being as dry ad Would be desirable, it is advisable; to place saucers containing salt under sofas, etc. This will absorb the mois- ture in a wonderful manner. If thor- oughly dried the salt can be used again for the same purpose. A bowl of hot milk taken immedi- ately before retiring is said by those who have suffered from insomina to be a better soporific than any opiate known to medical science. NEW USEFUL INVENTION'St One of the most useful and practical exhibite at the Industrial Exhibition this year, was that of the Metal Shin- gle and Siding Co., Limited, of Pres- ton, Ont. Their Patent Safe Lock Shingles which interlock each other on :all four sides, was continuously surrounded by , interested spectators, their hand- some appearance, great eturability, unique construction, fire and lightning proof qualities, making a combination umtichreyrsouaopesinroe superior or to wood shingles or xhibited a full line of small and large sheet siding in vari- ous designs suitable for all kinds of buildings. This sidnig can be applied over rough cast clap -board or any rough surfaces, making old buildings very warm and dry a and to took -like ileW. Their handsome new designs of me- tal ceilings and side walls, were very much admired, an improved feature being the construction of the locks making invisible joins when plates are put on. • Metal goods are here to stay.

NOTES OF A nu, TO THE DIG- GINGS IN SOUTH AFRICA. something About the varii, Days In KIM^ lie rly - The Sparkling Gents Were Plentiful and Easily Pound. When diamonds were an article of luxury that only the wealthy could in- dulge in I embarked from the East In- dian Docks, London, Eng., on the steamship Warwiek Castle, for • the Cape of Good Hope, writes a contribu- tor to the Philadelphia Press. After a journey of three weeks we sighted Cape Town, with the great Table Mountains looming up in the back- ground', iWe entered a very small harbor, and at last 1 set foot on the soil of a country partly owned. by Boers, who became enriched through the capital and industry of Europeans. I stayed at the home of a man named Curtis that night, and the next morn- ing I was wondering how I could ever reach the diamond country, a dis- tance of nearle 900 miles, oll a limit- ed capital of less than §5. I spoke to Curtis on the subject, and fortune favored me. He knew a party of traders about leaving for the Gri- n -qua country, and for my, services as cook they agreed to take nae as far as Du-Toits-Pan. I pictured myself picking up dis- monde as one would potatoes. That enthusiasm, however, was knocked completely out of me when I reached there and got down to practical work. We started on our journey, going by rail to Beaufort West, where the wagons awaited us -two big wagons, each drawn by sixteen oxen, -in charge of a man named Brink and two Hot- tentots., Our journey lay through rocky passes and stretches of sandy desert, where the -wheels sometimes • SANK TO THE HUB. When we reached the diamond min - lag camp, my friends, the traders, in- troduced me to one of the miners, nam- ed CUrnaichael, of San Francieco. The following'day I was initiated into the arts and mysteries of diamond min- ing. ' The diamond Beide comprise four mines -Dat Tons pan, Bullfontein, old De Beers and Kimberly. In the days I write of they had been worked but little. Kimberly was thhe deepest. The process ha searching for diamonds was what we termed dry sorting. A piece of neeting slung on the prin- ciple of a hammock and large enough Lo hold about six buckets of gravel was worked back and forth by native Griguas. The fine sand falling through was shoveled up and carried to a table, where it was sorted over. The larger gravel in the net was put through the same process. Sometimes' there was found a good sized stone in' it, the largest I found in dry sorting! being a 132 -carat stone, very yellow and badly shattered and worth only fifteen shillings, or $3.75 a carat. Carmichael and I were now working together on shares. He found a 1 stone one day weighing nine carats, which sold for 950 a. carat. •It was a perfect gem. The diamond buyers were all locat- ed at Kimberly, wnich eventually be- came the great aiamond market of South Africa, At this early date it was individual digging, and the buy- ers would daily visit the mines, beat- ing up trade, which was termed Kepje walloping. Something now occurred which changed the entire aspect of affairs. It was the arrival of an engineer and carpenter named Peterson, with hie wife. Just imagine the excitement it created on the fields! It was THE FIRST WHITE WOMAN we had seen there. To celebrate this event we wanted a flag, but having none, we hoisted a shirt on a pole and euspended work for that entire day. Previous to this our niggers bad paraded the camp in undress uniform. Now sacks were greatly in demand. This Peterson now introdueed plans for tingling the ground out, of , the mines, and erected a washing machine and an elevator to be worked by horse power. Two firms were communicat- ed with, and they opened stores on the with everything connected with mining, including power and dynamite an explosive I had made a study of. This introduction of macbinery requir- ed considerable capital, and the dia- mond buyers, taking advantage of the inability of sorcue of the diggers to meet this expense for machinery, bought their claims, each thirty feet: square, for a small figure, started erecting machinery and employed the unfortunate miner aa overseer at a salary equal to $25 a week, and those that were able to do carpentering or smith work were paid. §36 per week. The demand came now for water to wash the diamondiferous soil, there- fore Carmichael and I sold out and turned our attention to blasting and sinking weals at tbe rate of 010 per foot. at was now an exeiting mining CanaP.

I eznployed two na- tives to assist me, and with small quantities of powder worked down thirty-five feet. After lighting any 013;00 iL was altays WaledIsp hyi these natives by means of a windlass. After getting down this depth I struck a vein of hard rock and decided to use dynamite. I drilled a hole, charged it, lit my fuse and was hauled up as usual by my niggers. I knew they had a mortal terror of dyna- mite, but did not give it any serious thought. After they had cleaned up the effects of the charge, I took one of them down with me and drilled two anglee for a double shot. I had oharg- ed the holes markedthe centre of the fuse so that both charges would go off at the one time, and sent my nigger up to get ready to haul rae up as soon as I lit my fuse I noticed his hurried call of "doonsah," or "pull up," but thought nothing of it at the time. J. drew my knife, out the fuse, placed the knife in my mouth until I opened the fuse to loosen the powder, lit it and then called to be pulled up. No move- ment of the rope was made. I looked up, when to xny borror 1 discovered that they had abandoned the windlass. It was a five-minute fuse. I felt giddy for a second, but realizing the awful death awaiting me, nerved my- self to instant action. Having my knife ready I drew the fuse and cut both ends short at the primers, and then dropped down all of a heap. When I recovered myself I was obliged to get out hand over hand. I never found those niggers. A SERIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS came to the knowledge of the miners, which was illicit diamond trade. An overseer was detailed to watch five natives, and during their day's labor they would sometimes find a diamond in picking. This they would hand to the overseer, and if he was dishonest it was sold to an I. D. B. -illicit dia- mond buyer. The natives were also approached at night by someone that spoke their language and were taught that these stones were of value and could be converted into money. The result was that the natives became ex- pert thieves, and the illicit trade was as extensive as the legitimate trade. Extreme measures were used to stop this traffic. A man named Fox was appointed chief trap detective. In his employ were about ten subordinates. Their method was to take a few in- telligent natives into their confidence, spot a suspect and send two, natives to his shanty, one with a diamond and the other as a witness to the trans- action. Then the trappers would sur- round the place.. Immediately the sale was made and the nigger had the money he would give some signal. 'The trappers would rush in, search the buyer, and the native, and, upon find- ing the diamond on the one and the money on the other,. would take the former to jail, and upon this evidence he would be convicted and sentenced to serve three years in assisting to build a breakwater at Cape Town, guarded by native policemen. This system was carried on to such an extent that sometimes a newcom- er was trapped innocently on the street, which was easily accomplished, he not being conversant with this The Sting Within. It is said there is a rankling thorn in every heart, and yet that none would exchange their own for that. of another. Be that as it may, the sting arising from the heart of a corn is „real enough, and in this land of tight bcots a very common complaint also. Putnam's Painless Corn Extractor is a never failing remedy for this kind of heartache, as you can easily prove if afflicted. Cheap, sure, painless. Try the genuine and use no other.
