TERRIER AND THE LIONESS
Little Doa Braves Wounded' V/ttd
' Beast and 8eyee Life of
Hie Matter.
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.

To End Log Rafts.
' 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. Heretofore the great bulk of
the piling from that point has been
shipped to California in the form of
rafts. ? Shipping Illustrated.

KISSING ALMOST . 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

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.? Philadel

quart or pay a $10 fine. That settled

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)
