Brown, well-known writer on South African topics. The Kul’h’r was visiting come friends :11 :1 distance, and was horrified while resting near :1 small pool to see :1. large lion watching him from the other side. Unfortunately the man had laid his loaded gun beyond his reach, and :11 Sign of reaching for it the lion roared menacingly. The situation now became extremely 11:1i11f11leif not for the lion. at least for 1119 man. for, putting aside the immi- nent- prospect of being devoured. the rock 011 which he sat. exposed to the glare of an African sun, was so hot 1.11:1: he could scarcely bear ‘10 touch it with his naked feet. But the en- emy was inexorable. Any exhibition of 1111 intention to seize the weapon was 'followed by :1 warning roar, so that the man had all day long to temper the almost intolerable heat of the rock by planting one foot on an- other. until by evening both feet were so roasted that he had lost any sense of peril. The lion seemed to have only recent- ly dined. Otherwise it is extremely unlikely it would have displayed such tolerance to its helpless vis-a—vis. At noon it walked to the pool to drink, looking around every few .steps to watch the Kaflir, and when he reached for his gun it turned in rage and was 011 the point of muncing upon him. Then, quenching its thirst, the vigi- lant brute came back to his old post. 'Another night passed, but whether the Kafiir slept or not he could not tell. All he knew was that it must have been at very short intervals, and with his eyes open, for he always saw the lion at his feet. _ The next forenoon the animal went again to the water, and, while there, apparently heard some noise in an opposite quarter, and disappeared in the bush. 'ine man now made an ef- fort to seize his gun, but, on attempt- ing to rise, he fell, his ankles being ap- parently without power. However, he got the musket and crept to the pond to drink, determined, if the lion re- turned, to discharge the contents of his weapon into it; but it did not ap- pear. Then, unable to walk, with his toes roasted by the sun and the hot rock and his legs flayed by the sharp-edged grass-he crawled along the nearest path on his hands and knees—on the chance of some traveler passmg that way. This hope seemed destined to dissapoiutment, when :1 countryman came up and took the furnished and crippled, Kaflir to :1 place of safety, where he recovered, though he was lame for life—New York Journal. “Out of Sorts.” Many common expressions are of le- gitimate parentage, "although most people believe that they spring up like Topsy. The printing craft, for in- stance, originated several very popu- lar sayings. Take the case of :1 man who is “out of sorts." In :1 hand-com- position printing ofl‘ice the word “sorts” applies to the letters and marks which should be in the type case, but which are frequently missing. A man who, in the days before the coming of linotype machines, found his "‘e” box barren or his comma box desolate and bankrupt was said to be out of those particular scrts.

Among the new fabrics shown by im- porters for spring are all-wool, softly falling materials, fine and light in weight, andappropriate to the cling- ing folds which are coming into fashion again. One of the novelties is Sicil- ienne, a silk and wool weave with a tiny silk cord crossing it, and resembl— ing silk in softness and lustre. The trimmings for these dainty wools are rows of machine stitching, bias folds of the material stitched, bands of silk of a contrasting color, and frills or bands of black satin ribbon. There is also a revived fancy for milliners’ folds in clusters of three or four. A11 imported Sicilicnnc gown of al- tractive simplicity in the new burnt-7' silver gray is made with a tunic over- dress. This tunic reaches exactly to the bottom 'of the unde1-skirt in front, in acco1dance with the present tendenj cy towa1ds long slehder'eifects, and slopesg1aduallv upwards towai ds the back, where it forms an open box-pleat, falling on either side of the folds of a circular under-skirt.

'Scme most remarkable instances of the erring of instinct among insects , have frequently been noted among I naturalists, and they add an interesting chapter to the physiology of sense. One of these was the case of a butterfly. which persisted in visiting the artifi- cial flowers on a lady’s bonnet, mis- taking them for the natural. DrOduct. Another, and' perhaps more striking in- stance of fault is noted by the distin~ guished French entomologist, M. R. Blanchard, and concerns a species of Sphinx moth, which entered a hotel room in the half obscurity of early morning, and was found-to flit with direct intent to definite parts of the walls and ceiling. These were decora- te’d with paintings of leaves and flow- ers, and to the latter the insect ap- proached in repeated attacxs, thrusting forward its proboscis as'though intent upon intruding it into the open cups of ine'beguiling flowers. After repeated failures and the resulting discourage- ment. the effort was given up, and the srl13nx-'escaped by the Window.
