• . Fight With Lions.
A - tribe of ,black giants known as
"Siengs," inhabiting a district of
the White Nile, in the, Sudan,a
thousand miles 'south of Ehartseum,
has- bee described by the, Rev. 0.
Lea -Wilson, 'the leader of a medical
mission.
• There are about 8,000 people in
the tribe and they live in ,the neigh-
borhood of the Bahr-el-Ghazel, the'
lagoon east of Lake Ohad, "They
aye among the tallest tribes in the
world," says Mr. Lea -Wilson.
"They are jet black, typical no -
groes, and do not -practise either
cannibalism or human sacrflices. I
have never seen among' theta a case
of cruelty to women or childeen.
For .some reason apparently un-
known even to ithemselve.s, all
adults have oix of their lower teeth
removed. They have a habit when
at rest of standing on one foot like
sterke.'' _
Mr. Lea -Wilson states that the
surrounding country is like a zoo-
logical garden. Elephants, giraf-
fes, rhinpceros, buffaloes, hippo-
potami, lions and leopards abound.
"Daring the last wet season eight
people were killed and eaten by
lions. The Jiengnpeople are re-
markably brave and they have kill-
ed two of these enan-eatere with
spears alene. This means that the
• first men aetacldng the animal are

trained the dog te answer "letter
call," and fetch his owner's mail
to the. mess table. Pleased with the
dog's intelligence, the officer fell
into the habit of giving him a lump
of ,sugar' from the breakfast, table.
One mierning, soon alter the
trumpeter had isounded "letter

ther. papers nar letters. This was
unusual, for the officer subecribe.d
to a daily paper !that invariably ar-
rived in the morning's mail, but he
thought little of it at the time.
About eleven &sneak; ;however, the
deg entered his master's quarters;
erel deposited a- muddy pep al: `upon
the floor.Ma officer did not un-
derstand the situation, but he gave
the dee a lump of sugae. Hall an

found that the dog had busied the

up a letter at a :time, :apparently
with a view to a lump of sugar for

light on the domegie affairs of
these long -dead people. • •
One of the tablets tells of a di-
vorce case, in which ' a.' man, who
has ma -de up his mind that he can -
net live with this wife any longer,
promises to give her what he con-
siders a saeisfaceory alimony :
"Najd Marduk, son of Shins-eh-
balat, 'will give, of his own free
Will,. Maanua, the wife, and Arad-
Bumni, her son, four quaa of food
per day, three clues of drink; per
year, fifteen animas of cloth goods,
one pi of sesame, one pi of salt,
which is $ub the 'warehouse. Najd
Marduk will nob increase it. In
case she flees to. Nergal, the flight
shall not annul in
"Done at the office of Ilushesib-
Marduk, priest of Sipper."
It •appears that twenty-five cen-
turies ago the wife could be di-
vorced isa a most summary fashion.;
but if ,she renounced her lord and
master, a hard fate was hers, for
the second tablet, reads.:
"Risme. son, of Shamichaturm has
taken as 4ife, fund spouse, Raehtuan,
the daughter of Uzibitum. Her
bridal present shall be twenty &h -
kola' of nioney, If Bashtum to Bi -
num, 13,er husba.ncl, shall say, 'Thou
arb not my husband,' they shall
strangle her and cast her into, the
river. If Rinum ta Ba,shtum, his
wife, 81113,11 say, 'Thou a•rt not my
wife,' ha shall pay ten shekels of
money a,s„ her alireony."
The alimony provided in this case
was about six (I•ollars and twenty
cents, according to Professor Else -
len, All prioes were low in those
far-off clays, and wages were &mall
aceordingly. One brick, dated 2200
B.C., records 0 .contract by which a

Zawn-Buk Does—Cure Piles
Mrs. , C. Hanson, wife of the proo
prietor of the Commercial Hotel,
Poplar,. B.C., suffered from piles for
years. Went to doctor after doctor in
vain. Finally went to Spokane and
had an operation _ Twelve months
afterwards she was.,as bad again. She
says, "One day I read about Earn-
:Buk and thought 1 would try it. The.
first„one or two boxes gave me more
ease than anything else I had tried, so
I went on with the treatment. In a
short time I began to feel altogether
different and better, and I saw that
Zam-Buk was going to cure me. Well,
1 went e0 using it, and by the time I
had used six boxes I was delighted to
find myself entirely cured."
If you, suffer from this painful ain
mead, or from' eczema, ulcers or any
skim disease, don't waste time. Try'

An Important Invention.
Any person who has followed the
sea for any length of time will have
experienced, eeplicially in rough
weather, the annoyance which is
caused bythe incessant working
ancl banging of doors, due to the
polling. andpitelling of the vessel.
To ensure quietness the door of a
stateroom, for instance, must be
shut, To place it on she hook would
mean the rattle 81 the door, which
is intolerable, even the those who
spend the major portion of their
lives on the briny. Many idea's have
been put forward, and many inven-
tions formulated, with tho objects of
obviating this nuisance, but none
have been successful so far. A new
device, whieh is expected to be on
the market at, an early date, is the
invention of Mr. 13reig.an, one of
Liverpool's foreniost Scotch engi-
neers. His patent is simplicity it-
• self, and adapts itself to any pre-
sent class of cabin or saloon door.
It, is noiseless, eakcs up no room
spa -co, and presents no obsteue
them,.
