A Bancb of Good Stories. Quiller-Couch tells the story o* a { «ockney member of a board of guar dians who, when Hicks, the clerk of the board was taking down the minutes at a meeting, locked over his shoulder and said: "I beg to call your atten tion to an error, Mr. Hicks." “What is it?” “You’ve a-Uft cut the h in over- piush.”. An old lady at Oxford. Mich., just re turned from California, where she and her husband had spent the winter, ■was asked by one of har neighbors if she had heard an earthquake while there. She. answered: “Yes, I heard one, and rather enjoyed it; for it was the first thing that happened since John and I have been married that he did not think I was to blame for!” Professor John Fiske, the historian, relates that in the year loll came Diego Velasquez to Cuba, and it was not long before poor Hatuey, a native Indian chief, was tied to a stake and fagots piled about him. While the Sames were licking the flesh from his bones a black-robed priest held up ths crucifix and begged of him to repent of his sins and secure a place in Heav en. “Where is Heaven?" cried Hatuey; “are there any Spaniards there?” “Yea many,” quoted the priest. “Then,” said the writhing victim, “pray let ma go somewhere else.” Secretary of State Berg of Minesota tells this on himself: “1 was visiting at the home of a friend of mine who has a bright boy of eight or nine years. After I left the boy asked his father who I was. “That Is the Secretary of State for Minnesota," said the father. ‘What’s his name?’ asked the bov. 'Berg.' ‘What did you say he was?’ ‘Secretary of State for this Staio * 'Just for one State?’ ‘Yes.’ ’Say, pap,’ said the kid, after thinking for a minute,"if the Secretary of State is that big, the Secretary of State for the United States most be a corker, eh?’ ” A young fellow who has been herd ing sheep for a couple of years on a Colorado ranch, and has just returned to Boston for a short visit, decidedly startled his mates the other day at a club dinner by the almost ferocity of emphasis with which, on being asked whether he would be helped to beef or mutton, he replied: "Mutton, every tine!” “Why do you say it so dras tic., y ?' interjected a friend. “Be- caucr 1 hete sheep so, and always want to eat a pie-oe of one as badly as a wolf does.” FIELDS OF ADVENTURE.

There are established at Jerasulem convents and churches of the Othodox, Greek, Russia, Latin, Armenian, Cop tic and Xngellcan churches, the latter chiefly represented by the extreme Protestant’section. To a merely su perficial observer the Latin church seems to shine out pre-eminent both as to education and culture, and. I might add, cleanliness—which latter quality is generally wanting in the East, par ticularly among the Russian pilgrims and Jews, who compete with each oth er for a reputation for absolute filth; the Moslem population, by reason of its laws- of ablution before prayer, to on the whole better —Pall Mall Maga- 7ine. The World’s Wonderful Cave. There’s a wonderful cave in the Isl and of Tonga, in the South Pacific. Byron called it “a chapel of the seas,’* says the London Telegraph. It is form ed in a rock that Is almost surrounded |by the ocean. This rock is about sixty feet high, and broad proportionately. Many years ago a boy, the son of A native chief, was chasing a huge turtle When his game seemed to sink into % ♦rock. The lad watched and waited un- Itil the tide fell, disclosing a small open ing In the rock about six feet under Sow water mark. Diving bgldly, the young hunter entered the aperture, and, •to his surprise, came to the surface in side the rock. The rock was hollow, diul its Interior was found afterward, when the natives explored It with Ttorches, to contain many beautiful stalactites. When attacked and fol lowed by enemies the natives who tknow the secret, leave their canoes, •plunge into the water, and disappear. Their foes linger, astonished at their disappearance, for no person would sus- pee* that the rock was hollow. WhatYqu Get When You Buy Medicine is a Mat ter of Great Importance.

Twp Californian ranchmen, Boyd W. Hill, of Ventura, and his cousin, Will iam Black, of Capistrano, have just re- from a three days’ bunting trip up in the Santa Barbara Mountains, and they relate a lively experience in bat tle with a black bear. They are mid dle-aged men, and have hunted birds and squirrels in the foothills for a dozen years. Every autumn just be fore the snow falls in the mountains and every spring as soon as it has dis appeared, they go out fora hunt. This season they ventured into the domain of big game. They say they have had enough now to last them a long time. Hill’s left arm is in a sling, and his hands, wrists, and shoulders have been cut by a bear’s sharp claws. Black is at home with wounds made by both the claws and the teeth of the animal upon his hip and abdomen. It is strange that he was not mortally injured. They had nearly finished their hunt ing and trapping in the woods ou the Saturday afternoon previous. On the morning of that day Hill started off with a gun on his shoulder to take up some fox traps. Black a little later went out for a stroll about the woods, carrying his rifle with him. He sat down upon a stump to rest, and had been sitting only a few minutes when he heard the sound of snapping twigs. He looked about and was startled to see a large female bear within 100 feet of him. “I shall never forget how big that bear looked to mo at that moment,” says Black. “I never saw a bear out of captivity before. 1 bad read all about their quiet ways, and how they will avoid a tussle with u man. ‘Now,’ thought 1, ‘here is a chance to astonish Hill when he comes from dinner. I will kill that bear in about live seconds, ’ and with that I up and took what I thought was the most deliberate aim at old Bruin’s head. The aim was poor, and the beast gave a grunt and leaped a foot or two. The bullet hit her in the nose. “In a second the animal rushed at me, swinging her head from side to side and showing large, sharp teeth. I reached for another cartridge, and found that I had forgotten to take my cartridge box with me. The sensation was dreadful. I had nothing about me but a long, sharp, two-edged dirk knife with which to defend myself, and there was that infuriated and hungry powerful bear almost upon me. I drew my knife from its sheath, at the same moment running forward a few feet to strike as powerful a blow as possible with my weapon. The beast struck against my legs and nearly fell tp the ground. I turned, and in my haste gave the animal a savage cut across the hack. At that the bear turned upon me more fiercely than ever. I had got upon my feet, and the bear struck me a powerful blow upon my chest. If I had not been prepared for it, I would have fallen tinder her. It seomedas if that was my last day on earth. “The next move I made was to at tempt to put my long knife into the bear’s heart. My body, however, was so close to that of the bear that the knife blade struck too close to the bear’s shoulder to do any injury. The bear was more enraged than ever and dealt me* a blow with one of her great paws that seemed like a sledge ham mer on my breast. I fell backward upon the ground. In an instant the animal was upon me again. Beaching up I gave her a great slash across the breast, from which quantities of blood poured down upon me. Then we had a close embrace, during which my face and hands, as you see, were scratched and torn. I managed to keep the bear’s jaws from closing upon me. I did not fear her hugs. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to hold on to my knife, with which I had given the old beast three deep digs, and at the same time to grasp her about the waist. Then we rolled over twice. She tore off nearly all my heavy cloth ing. My legs were lacerated by the bear’s hind paws, but I still warded off her jaws and hugs. “My strength was beginning to fail and I realized I could not continue at this rate much longer. By almost superhuman strength I rolled upon my side, and, getting my right arm and hand free for an instant, I made a lunge at the beast which I meant should finish her. I struck exactly where I wished, under the left fore paw. That blow did not strike the heart, but it struck in a pretty tender spot, for the bear fell upon me. “My left arm, as you Jee hero in a sling, was wrenched by the fall. The bear was helpless for a few minutes and you can believe I freed myself in the shortest possible time. Once on my feet, I ran, dripping with blood,to our camp for a gnu. Hill arrived there at the same moment and was dumb founded at my appearance. I could scarcely speak because of my intense excitement, but told him in a few words of my experiment. “I could not return becanso of my broken arm, but Hill seized my rifle and ran to the disabled beast. Upon approaching the bear Hill thonght her already dead. She lay in a pool of her blood and did not more a muscle. In cautiously he approached and thumped her with jthe stock of the rifle. She opened her eyes and before you could say Jack Robinson she hid given Hill three or four tears with her claws. Sk»me of her claws sank over an inch in Hill’s hands and arms, which are marked for life. Those were the last blows of the bear, for the next moment Hill had jumped away from her and sent two big ballets into her head. skin the beast. It weighed just 305 pounds, and its skin is five feet three inches long. It was found that my knife cut tho bear's left, jngnlar vein and she would hav> bled to death in half au . hour. If my knife had been even an inch shorter there is no doubt of my death then and there.” ; A l eopard in a Theatre. While engaged in the rehearsal of a little play, the performers at a place of entertainment situated in the Mont martre districts of Paris suddenly be held a spectacle which made them quiver with horror aud alarm. Loud shrieks, indeed, burst from the ladies on the stage as soon as they could re cover their breath, while the men were unable to conceal their uneasiness iu spite of their efforts to reassure their fair companions. All, indeed, beat for the nonce a prompt retreat in good order, the actresses taking the lead, while the representatives of the sterner sex, after waiting a moment to protect them in the event of au attack, hurried after them. The apparition which had been the cause of this scare was not a mere un substantial phantom evoked by some timid spirit; it was a living creature lenty of go aud energy about it, and of this there could be no uonbt, as it bounded over stalls and started exploring expeditions into boxes, on _ visiting every nook and corner, with the utmost complacency. A superb leopard, of ferocious aspect, and quickly recognized as the chief orna ment and attraction of a neighboring mena^hrie, had jumped down upon the stage, and, after gazing for a se cond or two at the amazed an)i af frighted players, had gone off at a' tangent in tho manner described. What was to be done? A council of war, which lasted a fairly long time, was held behind the scenes, and while a messenger was despatched in search of the keeper of the savage beast, a small party, composed of the stoutest hearts of which the troupe could boast, sallied forth iu serried ranks, armed with various weapons, some of which had been improvised in honor of the occasion, and little by little contrived to drive it into a corner. At this very moment, as luck would have it, the tamer arrived on the scene of action, and after some skil ful manoeuvring the animal was cap tured and conveyed back to the cage from which it had wandered. With the solitary exception of a member of the company who was so taken aback when he beheld the leopard that he started violently and fell prone ou the boards, bruising his thigh, no one sustained any injury whatever, though some nerves were sorely tried. Lion Hunting In South Africa. “I was coming round the base of little rooky hill when I heard, n thought, some pigs grunting up a little ‘bench’ jutting out from the b I cocked the old gun, slapped Bess to keep her quiet, and climbed up on to this bench, expecting to see a big old boar, and all ready to take a snap shot if he ran. When I got up there I could see nothing, so I stepped up on a big boulder and there lay a lioness and three cubs playing. She was box ing one’s ears. Her mouth was open, and the cub appeared to bo trying to get into it. I am sure her mouth looked big enough. She was facing me with her head up when I first saw her, but just as I covered her she dropped it and gave me a good square shot at her head. Being at very close range, I gave her a centre shot with a hollow bullet. She never got on her feet. She uttered one snarl, and, af ter partially rising, rolled over with out even kicking. Next morning John Ingram and I started back with four natives. We got there before sunrise, and found everything O. K. I saw by the spoor that the cubs were still with her. After skinning her we went up the kopje and found two of tho cubs. Then the fun began. The first one we ran out was a male, and a scrap per, and by the way ho roared and switched his tail you would have thought ho was papa. We ran him down the kopje and across a little flat about 100 yards, and about 100 yards up another kopje. Bess grabbed him again by the ear, and they both rolled clear to the bottom, the pup (Gwanda) trying to get a hold, the natives yell ing and the little lion roaring for all he was worth. Wo tore off oar shirts and coats and threw them over the lion, and Anally, by getting on top of him, succeeded in tying his legs. Wo then took him back to the old one and tied him. We afterward went up in the kopje aud caught a cub lioness. She had taken a stand in a crevice of rock, and the dogs could not tackle her. With a short lasso and a forked stick we got her out.
