There is an old saying that any lnnn
eon subdno a wild animal by merely
gazing into its eyes, YeL it is it much
debated qu(8Lion whether such a thing
ie potentate an,l there are spina bunters
who believe that the human eye has
'absolutely no power over wild animals,
A Souih African sportsman once de-
lermined to put the question to test.
Approaobing a large ostriob, he gazed
fixedly at it, and to his delight, the
mesmerio glance seemed to moat with
immediate success, The bird couched
and flapped its wings nervously, Some
hours Later, however, the man's body
was found with the osLrioh alternately
sitting and Jumping upon it.
,Another believer in the human eye
experimented on a wild eat confined
in a ecological garden. Int afterward
confessed that but for the wires of
Um cage his face would have been torn
to !pieces.
A very diffol'ent story is related of
a negro attached to an African hunt,
lug party. Wandering one day from
vamp he surprised two lion cubs at
play, and thoughtlessly commenced to
amuse them. Fie was only too suc-
cessful. The big cuos gambled feerlossly
about him, and to his dismay refused
to desist when he wlshed (.o leave
them.
Realizing Lbs danger to which he
would be exposed should the mother
appear, he began to run.but the cubs
refused to be shaken off, and in thele
play they aeratc.had his logs in. fearful
fashion,
That the creatures were thoroughly
enjoying themselves was evident from
their man festations of delight, and be-
fore long their unusual cries brought
lioness leaping to the spot. t
Trembling in every limb, the negro
faced the glowing animal, while the
cubs continued to jump up at him,
eager for further caresses. The en-
raged lioness moved round uneasily in.
a circle, man and beast keeping their
eyes fixed steadily on each other. Sev-
eral ,times the lioness crouched to
spring, but g, thomen, from fear, .ever
shifted his gaze.
At length, afler what seemed an
age, when the negro was ready to drop
from exhaustion, the animal suddenly
called her cubs away and disappeared
into the surrounding Borth.
BATTLE WITH A BIRD.
A Anemic inmates Exciting Experience
win a Leen.
The loon, or great northern diver, is
a 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
Set the skin ot 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 sob-
bing cry of the loon, succeeded in gall-
ing a bird within shooting distance.
His shot, however, failed 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 bis game did
not need another shot, swam out to
retrive It ; but when he approached
near enough to seize the bird, it sud-
denly made a dash at bim, sending its
head and neck out with a spring like
an arrow from a bow. It was only by
a quick cluck of his head that the In-
dian succeeded in evading the blow. He
swam about the loon several times, at-
tempting to dash in ante seize him by
the hock, but the wary bird succeeded
in foiling each effort by continually
fading him, and' lunging out with his
powerful nook..
The Indian then swam up to witbin
4 few feet of the bird, and diving un-
der him, with considerable skI.11 naught
him by the legs. 'Ho carried him un -
dor, and although the bird struggled
fioreely, managed to retain his hold.
But when they both rose to the Bur -
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 dor bis foe, and before
the Indian had oovered a yard on his
shore -bound course, disabled him with
a vicious blow from his beak full on
the naked chest.
The offset 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
better advice and asks no fee for it,
than was once given by a certain Irish
judge, who must have had both a
sense of justice and a sense of humor.
A turbulent peasant was a Witness
in a trial before Chief Baron O'Grady.
The council, after pestering him for
soma time, put a question to him
which reflected on the witness's ohne.-
actor.
If yo ax me that again IRI give ye a
kick! was the answer.
The 'council appealed to the court,
stating that an answer was necessary
to his client's ease, and ending up
with the query:
What would your lordship advise me
to do 11
xf you are resolved to repeat the
question, replied the court, I'd advise
you to move little from the witness,

BRITISH HOUSEKEEPING.
We cannot help admiring the neat
business system on wbioh English
households aro run. A family knows
exactly what it can afford, and equally
well wbat 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 eon-
sider so essential, is by no means
thought necessary in Eugland. They
eat enormous quantities of bread, and
more cheese than butler. 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 chop and a stick of celery, if need
be ; '.bub he must have his wine. Our
men, in similar ciroumstanoes, would
not dream of wine, but; would consume
a large segment of apple pie, and a
oup of coffee, In rogalating the Eng-
lish dumbly expenses, therefore, tea,

a large part ; but fruit And aoefee may

purchased a further supply. By the

IN QUEST OF DIAMONDS.

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 Warwick 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. (Vire entered a very small
harbor, and at last I set fool on the
soil oe a country partly owned by
Boers, who became enriched through
the capital and industry of Europeans.

a man named
Curtis that night, and Lhe next morn-
ing I was wondering bow 1 could ever
reach the diamond country, a dis-
tance of nearly 000 miles, on a limit-
ed capital of less than $5•
Ispoke to Curtis on the subject, and
fortune favored me. He knew a party
of traders about leaving for the Gri-
qua country, and for my services as
cook they agreed to take mo as far as
L)u'Toits-Pan.
I pictured myself picking up dis-
monde as one would potatoes. That
enthusiasm, however, was knocked
completely out of me wlrsnn I reached
there and got down to 'practical work.
We started tad 011 Our journey, 'e r
J 9,
by rail to Beaufort West,, whoree tin 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
reeky passes and stretches of sandy
desert, where the wheels sometimes
SANH TO T13Jh HUB.
When we reached the diamond min-
ing camp, my friends, the traders, in-
troduced me to one of the miners, nam-
ed Carmichael, of San Francisco. The
following day I was initiated into the
arts and mysteries of diamond 'min-
ing.
The diamond fields comprise roux
mines—Dui Tolts pan, Bullfontein, old
De (Beers and lfimberly. In the clays
I write of they had been worked but
little. Kimberly was thhe deepest.
The process in searching for diamonds
was what we termed dry sorting.
A piece of meeting slung un Lheprin-
oiple of a hamunook and large enough
Lo bold about six buckets of gravel
was worked back sod forth by native
Geiguas. 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 182 -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 al
stone one day weighing nine carats,
which sold for $50 a carat. It was al
perfect gem.
The diamond buyers were all ].oeat-I
od at Kimberly, winch eventually bo -
came the great atumotld market of
South Africa. At this early date it
was individual digging, and the buy-
ers
uyers would daily visit the mines, boat-
ing up trade, which was termed Itopje
wallopinhig.
Sometng now occurred which
changed the entire aspect of affairs.
It was the arrival of an engineer and
carpenter named Peterson, with his
wife. Just imagine the excitement it
oreeted 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 Oil a pole and suspended work
for that entire day. Previous to this
our niggers had paraded the camp in
undress uniform. Now snake were
greatly in demand.
This Peterson now introduced plans
for hauling the ground out of the
mines, and erected a washing machine
and an elevator to be worked by horse
power. Two firma were communicat-
ed with, and they opened stores on the
fields, with everything °Demented with
mining, ineluding power and dynamite
an explosive I had/made a study or.
This introduction of machinery requir-
ed considerable oa'pU;al, and the dia-
mond buyers, taking advantage of the
inability of some of the diggers to
meet this expense for machinery,
bought their Glenne, oath thirty feet
square, for a smell figure, started
erecting machinery and employed the
unfortunate miner as overseer at a
Salary equal to 325 a week, and those
that were able to do carpentering or
smith work 30010 paid 336 per week,
The clemeed came now for 'water to

Vega) FOR, A CLAIM,
My partner bad decided to take a
trip to Cape towel, and in leis abeenoe
1 took a job to sink a well for two
rattlers. I will remember that job un-
til my dying day. I employed two na-
tives to assist inn, and with small
quantities of powder worked down
thirty -Live feat. After lighting my
cha,11,7e I was altways Jlia%ulad tap ;byl
these natives by means of a windlass.
After getting down thbs depth I
struck a vein of hard, reek and decided
to use dynamite. I drilled a hole,
charged it, lit my fuse and was hauled
up no usual try my nigger., '1 knew
they had a mortal terror oe 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 pie end drilled two
angles for a double shot. I had charg-
ed the holes m•lrkedtthe centre' of the
cuse so that Froth charges would go off
at the one time, and sent my nigger
up to get ready to haul ma up as soon
as I lit my fuse, I noticed his burled
rail of "doonsah," 00 "pull up,"
thought nothing of it at the tims. I
drew my knife, cut the fuse, placed the
knife in my mouth until I opened the
fuse to loosen the powder, lit 11: and
then called to be pulled up. No move-
ment , made. to eked

up, when to my horror t discovered
tbat Lhey had abandoned the windless.
It was a Live -minute fuse. 1 felt
giddy for a second• but realizing the
Awful death awaiting me, nerved my-
self to instant action. Having my
knife ready I draw the Luse and cut
both ends short at the primers, and
then dropped down all of a heap. When
I recovered myself I was obllgsd to get
out hand over hand. I never found
those niggers.
A SERIOUS STATE. OF AFFAIRS
cams to the knowledge of the minere,
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, :rad if be was dishonest
it was sold to an 1. D. B,—illicit dia-
mond buyer. The natives were also
approacbed at night by someone that
spoke their language and were taught
that these stones were of value rind
could be converted into money. The
'result was that the natives became ex-
pert thieves, and the illicit trade was
las extensive as the legitimate trade.
Extreme measures were used to stop
this traffic- A man named Fox was
t appointed chief trap detective. In his
employ ware about ten subordinates.
t'I'heir method was to take a few in-
telligent natives into their confidence,
spot a suspect and send two natives
1 to his shanty, one with a diamond and
the other as a witness to the trans-
action. Then the trappers would sur-
round the plaoe. Immediately the
sale was made and the nigger had the
money he would give some signal. The
trappers would rush In, search lbe
buyer, and the native, and, upon find-
' ing the diamond on the ono 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 built,
a breakwater at Cape Town, guarded
by native policemen.
This system was carried on to such
as extent that sometbme5 a newcom-
er was trapped innocently on the
street, which was easily accomplished,
he not being conversant with this paw,
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 tbat as it may, the sting
arising from the heart of a corn is
real enough, and in this land of tight
boots a very common complaint also,
Putnam's Painless Corn Extractor is a
never failing remedy for this kind of
heartache, as you tan easily prove if
afflicted, Cheap, surd, painless. Try the
genuine and use no other.
