That victory Is got always a matter of size or strength was pleasingly Illustrated lit the case of the dug that did hi* duty so effectually In the inci dent here related. , A man named De Deer had starte'd early one uiorning for a Journcry on foot Id Matabeleland, leaving his hoy to pack up snd follow him. He hud not gone-half a mile when he heard ? growl and, turning, saw an immense lioness about fifty yards away aud rapidly approaching. She was within twenty paces when he fired. The shot broke the beast's Jaw. The second shot broke one of her legs. The 'third, fired Just as she sprang on r>e Heer, missed altogether aud the man was borne down. In a few seconds he was mauled and bitten and his left hand severely Injured. There seemed Uttle hope that ho could escape alUe, for his gun was out of reach aud the lion, lying on him, prevented him from moving, I3ut with De Beer was one compan* Ion, a little terrier. The tiny animal flew bravely at the lioness' ear, got a good hold and hung grimly on. This made the brute shift a little, and De Deer was able to reach bis rifle again with his right hand and shoot the lioness through the chest. She fell dead ou top of him, his left hand still In her mouth. SULPHUR TAKEN FROM WELLS How It Is Foroed From Qraat Depth* In Louisiana by Means of Hot Watar. % ? Within recent years Sicily, bo long famous for ita exportation of sulphur, bag suffered from the competition of the United States. In Sicily sulphur (s mined In the solid form. At Lake Charles, La., near the Qulf of Mexico, i little over 200 miles from New Or leans, sulphur Is obtained from deep Jeposlts In the^form of a liquid. Wells driven to a depth of 600 feet n search of petroleum reveated ln itead a rich deposit of sulphur, To jbtaln tho mineral hollow tubes were Irlven into tho earth. Each sulphur fvell consists of three tubes, one with n another. Through the outer tube lot water - is forced down, and It 1b mes through perforations near the bottom. Through tho central tube lot ^Jr la driven* a little lower than :he points where the hot water es capes. Through this third tube, in-" jlosed between the other two, the li quid sulphur, dissolved by the water, rises to the surface under tho com bined Influence of tho pressure of the column of water and Impulsion of the rising air. The liquid sulphur Is led Into wooden reservoir, whero it cools ind hardens. Ruthless Destruction of Books. Napoleon was Indirectly responsible for the destruction of a vast quantity of books. In 1812 he framed a law al lowing goods to be imported from the United Kingdom, provided that the Importer shipped an equivalent quan tity of French goods to this country. French merchants generally met the requirements of this law by shipping books to the value of the wares they wished to Import. Having served to gain the necessary permit, the books were thrown overboard on Jthe way to England, as there was no demand for them here. Shippers could well afford to do this, for coffee and sugar were then about ten times dearer In France than In England.. It has been esti mated that books to the nominal value of four million dollars were destroyed In this way. Cosmopolitan Community.

' Columbia rive rm en believe that the , recent disasters overtaking a number of the ocean-going log rafts which were being sent from the river to California haVe been the means of sounding the doom of this method of shipping lum 1 ber down the coast In support of i ;thie conclusion itlspolnted out that > the steamer Carlos, on her last {rip, > took out a deckload of piling from , Stella.

LOST ART Most Women, Say* London Paper, Forget Neatness and Are Vigor ous and Wlld.^ It 1b surprising that with all the kissing that goes on In our Bo-called civilized England, bo llttlo advance should hav? been made In tho science Of bestowing a kiss. Very few per* sons understand the Art. Neatness Is forgotten, and the first Impulse of the kls&oe Is to wipe away alf traces of the offending salute as speedily as may bo consistent with politeness. Others deliver a peck upon tho cheeks, and, In some cases,' by no means a small peck. There are vigor* oua women whoso buffetiuys are quite enough to produco a toothache In a sensitive jaw. Their kisses jar the kisseo's whole head. One never knows ?wiiere tho wild kisses of others may alight. With Inward shrinking one offers a cheek, wondering what may bo going to happen to it, and tho re sult often justifies one's worst fears. Tho poor cheek is discomfited by the assault of lips that have had no train ing in tho art of osculation. ? London Express. Perils of Fishermen. There are countless incidents lllufc trdting dangers and trials in tho lift of a Newfoundland fisherman. Daily are sueli experiences recorded in ev? ery cove and hamlet around the coast line. Peril amid the billows, peril among the ice floes, peril along the rugged seaboard ? that ia> his heritage and his portion from boyhood to old age. Tho rescuer today, he may be rescued tomorrow. ^ Life to him has few compensations. It is an unceas ing struggle against the elements, a strenuous endeavor to secure the means of existence from a sea whicb is ever on the watch to work ruin up < on him. Wreck, wrath and calamity are the facts which predominate in every Newfoundland village. They have come home to every family and have left a vacant place in every household. The frequency of disas ter compels every man to be a here unconsciously/ and If every person Who saved a life In this colony were to be awarded a medal, they would bo given out every week at least, and for actions aq meritorious and as de serving of recognition as any that art so rewarded elesewhere.?

"Not much we didn't. We passed a law that whenever prunes came on the table every member should eat a quart or pay a $10 fine. That settled It. The landlady foifhd prunes too ex pensive." ? New York Weekly. I Made Neat Escape. Not so long ago a knowledge ol Latin was essential to an orator, and long quotations from the Roman poeta embellished every debate. James Payn, the novelist, was once at a din ner party where a learned clergyman Insisted .on quoting Greek. The lady sitting mixt to Payn asked for a trans* lation. Payn's Greok was rusty. Ac* cordingly he assumed a blush, and hinted to the l%dy that it was scarcely fit for her ear. "Good heavens!" she exclaimed, "you don't mean to say ? ?" "Please don't ask any mo?e," mur mured'' Payn, "I really could not tel) you." 0 - The Coeds' Best Hold.
