Bot the astonished wo man dropped the pan with a claug up? on the rock, and the leopard took one leap downhill. The pan followed, and the leopard's downward leaps became longer and swifter as the pan bounded after It front rock to rock. When last seen the leopard bnd Just achieved a leap of about 3"0 feet to the very bottom of the ravine, thou sands of feet below, and the pan bad whirled about 500 feet over It on the opposite side.

Bear in mind that a man is either made or marred by hla marriage.?Philadelphia Bulletin. Why does a man marry? For many different reasons; but first, last and all the time?because he wants to. I have little faith in the piteous tales that are told describing man as a victim led to the altar. He may marry because he wants a girl's love, or her money, or because he wants a wife; but you can always be mightily sure that wants some thing. He is no sacrificed lamb. Sometimes a man makes desperate leve to a girl when he has no serious intentions. If such a man gets caught in his owr net it serves him right The average man marries for the simple reeson that he has fallen In leve. That it is love alone which prompts his wooing is fully proven by some of the ill-mated married couples we see. If an earnest young fellow falls in love with an empty-headed doll of a girl, nothing on earth can persuade him of the foolishness of his choice. He must narry her and find out from personal experience that she Is not the wife for him. There h no sadder sight In the world than that of two mlsmated young pec<pie starting out on life's journey together. The man might be 1 splendid fellow if married to some woman who understood him and knew how to bring out his best qualities. The woman might be a splendid wo? man if married to some man who brought out the best side of her na? ture. Apart they might amount to some? thing; together they are a miserable failure. Sueh domestic tragedies are usually the result of brief acquaintance and courtship. When a man is about to marry he should look for a mate as well as a wife. Congeniality is the fcundation of a happy marriage. Life Is not all courtship and honeymoon you know young people. The stern realities of life must bei So Lacking. A woman who visited the British Museum recently Inquired of an at? tendant: "Have you no skull of Crom? well? I have been lokint: all around for a skull of Oliver Cromwell." "No, madam," replied the attend? ant. "We've neevr had one." "How very odd!" she exclaimed. "They have a fine one in the museum at Oxford!"?Ladies' Hone Journal.
