I was once teaching school, writes a correspondent, in a backwoods region, and one afternoon in the hunting season I made my way to a small valley down which ran a well beaten t deer trail. I took my post on a small hill ?X ? - ? ? J ? MAA J Attf A f ^ V? ZX Ill ill couimauuuu a guuu new ui we valley. In front of me and about twelve feet distant was a large pine tree. Behind me was an old stump. As the evening was cool, I wore a gray sweater, and my hat was also gray. After waiting for nearly an hour I notioed a movement in a small clump of bushes to my right. Then the horns and head of a large buck appeared, but he drew back before I had a chance to fire. With rifle oocked and finger on the trigger, I crouched, waiting for him to show himself again. A squirrel chattered sharply from the stump behind. Then he landed squarely on the top of my head, from which he sprang to the tree. Immediately after I was thrown violently forward on my face by some heavy object that descended with great force on my back. The blow almost drove the breath from my body. My ride was discharged as I fell. Very much surprised and considerably alarmed, I scrambled to my feet. Recovering my :rifle, I looked about for my assailant, but nothing living was in sight. I peered behind stumps and fallen logs, more mystified every moment. No owl swoop ing down upon the squirrel could have inflicted such a blow; neither had any limb fallen from the tree. I looked up among the thick foliage, but there was nothing to be seen. I walked round to the other side of the tree. On a large bough, but well hidden, I discerned a dim, gray shape. It was a full grown lynx. I brought him down by a well directed shot. Now I understood the situation. Near the stump on which the squirrel had been sitting lay a large log. Behind this the lynx had crept on his prey. In escaping the little animal had leaped to my head and thence to the tree. His enemy had - 11 ~ ? ? J ft w/? Vi n Tniiflt VtQfTO IOUUWCU mill, a LIU. ug xuuov u?? v been mightily surprised at landing on a man and also by the report of my rifle. Naturally I saw nothing more of the deer, but was richer by a fine lynx skin and a most uncommon experience.?Youth's Companion. Cactua la Maxlcan'a Watarmalon. The nopal cactus bears the tuna ^ of the Mexicans and the prickl]^. , pear of the Americans. The tree is composed of a series of oval pads. As one of these pads hardens it becomes a part of the tree instead of remaining its foliage and fruit. The great pad produces a fruit about the size of a duck egg, covered with fine prickles, as full of seeds as the ordinary fig. It is always cool when plucked. The natives subsist almost entirely on it when they can get it. It means as much to the Mexican ninos as Georgia watermelon to the American picaninnies.?National Geographic Magazine. Mourning Ringa. In the seventeenth century a somewhat morbid taste in rings was evinced by the custom of wearing memorial or mourning rings bearing the name and date of the death of the departed. These were often of elaborate design, enameled in black and white, and a pleasantly oimnacfiuo ri n or nf till a tvne at One ""So*-"""" *-"*o -j r~ ? time very popular was formed of two skeletons bent along the hoop and holding a coffin on which the name and date were engraved.
