What Caused Him to Reform.
At at temperance meeting one of the work-
ers read a story entitled, "The Little Shoes
Did It." It was about a menewho had been
reclaimed from the vice of intemperance by
seeing the saloon -keeper's little child come
into the saloon, holding out her feet to her
father to look at her fine mew shoes. it
made the drunkard think of his own bare-
footed children at home, impoverished in
order that the saloon -keeper's child might be
well shod, and he quit drink from that mo-
ment-.
At the conclusion of the recital a shabby,
dissipated-lookiug man in the back of the hall
began to sob.
"All," said the reader from the platform,
to the sobbing man, "yon have been there
yourself." •
The weeping man, with his face buried in
his hands, nodded assent.
" And have you reformed ?"
Another vigorous nod.
"Then it was the little shoes of the saloon-
keeper's little girl that did it !"
" No," he replied, 'sadly ; "it ta*the
saloon -keeper's little hoot. He /kicked me
out !"
A Startling.Measage,
I dropped into a telegraph office a few
days ago andhereissoneethiog that.I saw :A
lady entered, mans she drew a blank toward
her saki: " I told my husband to order a
motto banner in Toronto. It's to be used for
our Sunday school room, but I forgot to tell
him what the inscription was to be, or how
large I wanted it. If I send him the partic-
ulars how soon will he get the message?"

strength. An old Cgete would have eon-
thmed to run for cover. This fellow had
lost no teeth and had lots of pluck.
We were beating a thicket, in which was
a large mass of oret.cropping rock. The
route ran right through the thicket, and
within forty feet of the eastern edge of this
out -crop. We knew it to be a good place
for serpents, and we were not loeg in find-
ing them. With a shot -gun I killed three
large specimens of the cobra -manil-
la and one of the men hit off two sand.
snakes, which are found in the thickets as
often as in the sands. Others ran to cover,
and we brought up our ammuuition
train, and made ready for business. We
had sheet -iron cylinders from the diameter
of a candle to that of a tea canister. We
selected a size to fit any hole we found, aud
they were loaded with powder and buck-
shot, and a fuse inserted. The cylinders
dropped down after the snakes, and the ex-
plosion settled the fate of anything in that
hole. 1 think we killed sixty or seventy
serpents on an Acre of ground.

way line was ata point eighty miles west of
Lucknow. One morning a native came to me
from a small village on our eight flank and
said that a panthet had carried off his two-
yeataold child theeveningbefore. Alter sunset,
while the family were sating about the door
of the hut, the child, which was just begin-
ing to walk, toddled off around the corner
of the lint, and was seized by apanther lying
in wait. Its screams roused the whole vit_
liege, and everybody saw the beast galloping
away with the child hs its mouth, This
panther was known to have two oubs, and her

a mile from the village. I took fire men and
the elephant,. and, accompanied by about
thirty of the villagers, went to the ravine.
It wasn't exactly a ravine, but a basin of
thicket and rack, with a spring at the bottom
of it. My men soon beat up the grouted, en4.

Jt was about twenty feet below the crest of
the sink, and 'the epode g was nearly as large
as a barrel.. There was no question but that
the panthers would be at home at that hour
of the clay, wed after arranging my men -with
their shot guns I dropped the bomb into the
den myself. It wasn't a bomb for a mortar,
but a heavy glass bulb filled with chemicals
and exploded by a fuse. When the chemicals
were teleased they :created such a smell as
no human nose could endure. The bomb is
simply an improvement on the stinkpot.
The latter is of iron, and its, contents have
to be lighted by hand.
I heard a growl as I retreated, and all .of
us caught the sound of the explosion. In-
deed, we felt the jar of it. A few secotels
there was a rush and a roar, and one panther
was hardly out when a second followed.
They were cut and bleeding and se4ffned to
be on fire. We fired as they eame into sight,
and both rolled to the bottom of the sink,
dead. It was a fall hour before le oative
could enter the deo, tool than he found two
dead cubs and some of the bones of the vil-
lager's child. We gave them the scalps of
the panthers, that they might claim the
Government reward, and the father of the
child, at once forgot his loss.

One afternoon I rotledowo the route about

through forest and thicket and over &treadl-

Some Therapeutic Mies of Buttermilk.
Thus it will be seen that, on accouut of

what strange that buttermilk has been Lured
