No, the trusts needn't fear lynch ing, notes the Atlanta Constitution. They've had too much rope already. The apple is a universal medicine for human ills, according to Mr. Tom linson. If he is right, his is a ho meopathic remedy. ’Twas the for bidden fruit “whose mortal taste brought death into the world, with loss of Eden and all our woes.” To be sure. Dr. Wiley, suggests the Indianapolis News, canners don't need preservatives, and it is more than likely, too, that the most of them, being wise to the game, don't take any of those medicated fruits and vegetables into their dystem. The London Spectator sees that in America the law is often simply the screen of the wealthy. As the cor poration lawyers generally make and interpret the laws, and frequently administer them, it is no wonder the case is as the Spectator states it. The Philadelphia Ledger declares that in the case of Canada there is no feeling of antagonism either on the part of Canadians or Americans that is not temporary and related to ques tions that are perfectly capable of ad- lustment.

Hurry has robbed cor respondence of its grace; hurry is fast transforming the once sedate city •f London into a pandemonium 0 1 whirring noises, whirling wheels and evil fumes, laments the Nineteenth Centu'\- Those who wish to free from bond age the thousands of children of the country spending their young lives in labor in which they should not bo employed, admonishes the Rochester Union and Advertiser, should seek to Secure remedy of this evil through the proper channels, the legislatures of States. The subscribers to newspapers in Vhe United States get them cheaper than in any other country, declares the Baltimore Sun. Are they to be deprived of the benefit of low sub scription rates by having to pay heavy and unjust postage rates or submit to burdensome and unreason able regulations? 'A London^.court recently decided that a passdtrger who is carried past his station does not have to nay fare to the station to which he is carried or for his return to his actual destin ation. The company pleaded in the case in question that plaintiff was in toxicated. “Then you violated the law in carrying him,” remarked the Judge. The general opinion among medi cal men, observes the Augusta Her ald, seems to be that plenty of fresh air is the best preventive of grip and colds. Overheated houses are worse than cold ones in this respect. Well ventilated rooms for sleeping and, if possible, a cold plunge on arising, will do much to keep one free from cold throughout the year. The minister and his wife who re cently separated for a period of three years, meaning to seek a divorce if after that lapse of time they were so minded, have introduced a happy idea, contends the New York Sun. In stead of the trial marriage, why not the trial divorce? Three years should enable an uncongenial pair to decide whether divorce Is the realm of per fect bliss it seems to those wishing to enter it. Fifteen million votes were cast in a plebiscite held by a Paris newspaper to learn who, in the opinion of the people, were the ten greatest French men of the nineteenth century. Na poleon was fourth. The poll was headed by Pasteur. The hero of he roes was proclaimed to be the scien tist, observes the New York Mail, who gave to the world new means of bat tling with disease and lessening hu man suffering and loss of life.

A LION ® 6 © 6 ® Wy 6 -WyA • l-Lt By John Prentise Chase. i ^ 9 ? © ^ © ^ ^ © ^ © f i ^ © ^ © ^ © ^ © ^ 3<». e a a e e e For several years I had cherished an ambition to photograph the big game of Africa In its native haunts. Until recently, however, the difficulty lay in approaching the larger, fiercer wild beasts near enough to secure good pictures without being actually torn to pieces or trampled to death. But the telephotographic lens seemed to help us over this obstacle; and from the day I took my first success ful photograph with It, the desire to visit Africa and bring home pictures of its huge wild animals revived. The kindness of a German who was the New York agent for a Hamburg firm which imported and dealt In wild animals for menageries and “zoos” assisted me. A letter of introduction from him and the payment of a reasonable sum of money enabled me to join one of the hunting parties then about to proceed with cages from Mombasa, British East Africa, to the plains, which lie between Kilimanjaro and Victoria Nyanza. Thus I was spared all expense and responsibility other than as a member of a well-organized party of Dutch and Swahili hunters. The advantage of this can only be appreciated by those who have tried to travel in Africa. Telephotography consists in apply ing the principle of the telescope to the camera. Just as by using a tele scope, distant objects can be made to appear near the eye, so by applying a telephotographic lens to the cam era, the object to be photographed can be made to appear near at band even when it is really half a mile away. I was in this country seven weeks, until Claas D^ndricks and his hunters had filled their cages and were ready to return to Mombasa. It was rough life. I met with some degree of suc cess and made many failures. One day Dendrlcks and two of the Swahili hunters started to visit some laagers they had constructed for leopards on the south bank of the river; and I went along to photo graph the expected catch. But on the way 1 caught sight of two giraffes feeding in a young growth of mbomi. I turned aside, hoping to secure a picture of the tall creatures. The breeze favored me; but the two giraffes kept moving off, and I followed them for a mile or more, passing a large water-hole among high reeds where wild boars had been wallowing, and afterward a number of thickets, growing about several large rough rocks. It was a cloudy morning with mists drifting across the sky. Finally the giraffes stopped to crop the tops of a clump of young trees just beyond a long slough; and keep ing under the cover of another large rock, I crept up within two hundred yards of them. Very quietly I set up my camera close beside the rock, then unfolded my black headcloth, and putting my head under it proceeded to focus— and focusing with a tele photo lens is a rather nice piece of work. In the midst of my sighting and ad justing the thumbscrew, I heard what sounded like a little soft low\ sneeze somewhere behind me. Soft and low as it was, there was that about it that caused me to withdraw my head very hastily and look round. There stood a large, black-maned lion on my trail In the dewy grass, not sixty yards away— the first lion that I had ever seen at large! Evidently he had just come out ot the thicket by the rocks. Probably he had been lying there asleep, and had smelled me or heard me pass. I do not think that the lion was fairly awake, for as 1 stood staring at him, he extended his fore paws on the ground and stretched down on them, then yawned horribly. People who have never been really frightened speak lightly^ ot fear When I saw that lion yawn I knew how tear feels; for besides my cam era and • t rlpud, I had only little Skeleton-breech 'rifle which I carried in a holster on the back of my khaki n i jacket. knew better When on a ^ n that litUe rifi »p had step yf t 1 near,- I than to fire e— unless the' Uop had , yawned he amelleti 4iiy tr&ck,,lihuffed toward me and advanced a had been a atfee near# I should have made a dash for it. The rock just back of me was perhaps seven or eight feet in height and net easy to teftmb.1 In fact, I dared not turn or least fierce, hut merely curious, as it he had just waked, and was behold ing a new sort of game that puzzled him.

W CLO U l l CXIVt V 11 cl L 11 A l u O V c Q u n l i e would make a rush after me; and alarmed as I was, I yet summoned presence of mind to reflect that my safest course was to show a bold front. I turned the tripod round and brought the camera to bear on the Hon; I even put m y head under the black cloth and focused the lens. Never was there a better subject for a picture, for the lion was simply as tonished at the performance. He stood stock-still and raised his chin little higher to stare at me— the distance being, I suppose, not far from a hundred and sixty feet. My hand shook so badly that I could hardly draw the slide of the plate- holder and make the exposure. And there stood the lion still. I might have taken a dozen pictures of him. What to do next, or rather what the Hon might do next, was what now gave me anxiety. I could not hope that his surprise would last long. But something which I had once read occurred to me. I seized two legs of the tripod, and tlyusting one end of each into an upper corner of my black head-cloth, raised it high before me, and advanced with it in that position. It is said that all wild animals are discomfited to cee an object which they are watching grow suddenly large. I cannot say that I advanced with confidence or courage. I peeped fear fully round at every step; but the ruse succeeded for the instant. I had advanced but a few steps when the Hon gave a glance aside, then bound ed into the thicket from which, he had emerged. Instead of feeling relieved, how ever, I was more afraid of him now than before. For I knew he had merely gone out of my sight, and was watching me from cover. The thicket indeed was no larger than a garden patch. What to do I did not know. If I could have seen the lion I should have continued to advance on him, in the hope of frightening him away. But now I thought that I had better retreat guardedly, and began doing ] so, with an eye to the thicket. But by the time I had backed to the rock the Hon suddenly emerged, and again stood there, regarding me very earnestly. If I dodged behind the rock, I was afraid he would come boldly forward. Clearly he was not much afraid of me; but I thought it safest to keep up my bluff, and alter nately raising the cloth at arm’s length and lowering It, I charged for ward for five or six steps, as if about to rush In to close quarters. The trick served again. But this time, instead of retreating into the thicket, the lion ran round to my right with long bounds for a distance of a hundred yards perhaps, to the cover of some reeds and brush on that side. It was not a flight exactly, for he was no farther off than before, and I could now just see his big nose in the brush as he watched me. Plainly he was getting warmed up, and how long I could stand him off with my black cloth was indeed un certain. A dreadful sensation of being hunted came over me. I dared not try bluffing again; but I approached the rock and stood there for some moments, with my heart beating fast. The lion had not moved; I could see his nose in the same place. I knew that he did not quite like the looks of that black cloth; so I stuck the ends of the tripod legs in the ground beside the rock with the cloth hang ing outstretched between them, then peeped over It— as if lying there in ambush myself. Presently I peeped over the cloth again, then drew down— to keep him guessing as to what I was about. But I knew this sort of byplay would not answer long. At last, keeping out of sight behind the cloth, I crept partly round the rock to reconnoiter, and found that^ it was possible to climb up on It from the farther side. I had little doubt that the lion could bound to the top of the rock; but I thought that I would be better off on it than on the ground when he at tacked me. Thus far I had not deemed it worth while to use my little rifle, for unless by a most lucky shot, I could do no more than woun^ and enrage a lion with it. But now, scrambling to the top of the rock, I snatched It from the sheath over my shoulder and fired three times in the air as rapidly as I could discharge It. The Hon sprang out of the brush, bounded across the slough, and ran for fifty yards or more before stop ping to look back. I fired three more shots after him, whereupon he ran again, and soon disappeared from view among the thickets and reeds. The two giraffes, too, had started to run, and were going off at a swinging gallop. I did not try to Improve on the siU uatlon, but secured my camera, tripod and the cloth which had served me so well, and took the back track without loss of time. I was well content to get away, although my adventure did not result in a magnificent lion skin. It may be, indeed, that this Hon would have run away in the first place if I had fired over his head; taut I recount the adventure as it hap pened. The photograph proved very ''foggy.” » I had been too mireh alarmed to focus properly.— Youth's Companion.. WEMV l . MAXSON Freeport WAITER 8. JONES H em p stead MAXSON & J O N E S .
