In the Guarico county, at a village called Paraya, near the Merida trail, ' the .writer saw an Indian named Joe Lobado whose face and head were deeply scarred and whose body was a network of similar scars from wounds received through being carried away by a jaguar when an infant in arms. Of course he could not remember the occurrence, but his mother, who had rescued him, described it to me. She had gone to a mata, or wooded spot, on the pampas for firewood, carrying her child, after the fashion of Venezuelan women of humble station, in a shawl looped from her shoulder. This shawl with the small boy in it she slung to a low tree branch while she gathered her bundle of sticks, and she did not per- ceive the approach of a jaguar until he had seized the child and was carrying it away. The mother grasped her machete and ran after the jaguar, shrieking. She managed to keep the beast in sight, but he was rapidly get- ting beyond her view when suddenly the jaguar stopped, put the child down and, bristling for fight, stood with his forepaws resting upon it. Then the mother saw that a puma was fronting the jaguar. She hurried on toward where the two beasts faced each other, growling and snarling. Be- fore she got to them the puma sprang, and at once the two were fighting fiercely above the child. In the-strug- gle the child was rolled to one side, but before the mother could get to it the jaguar broke away from the puma, and, springing to the boy again, crouched with his paws above him as before. The puma leaped again and the fight was renewed, but again the jaguar got clear and jumped to guard his prey be- fore the mother could get a chance to snatch her child. Once more the puma attacked his foe, and this time as the beasts struggled and tore each other an accidental kick from one of them sent the boy twenty feet away, almost to the mother’s feet. Catching him up, she ran for home and got safe to the house. The boy, though covered with claw wounds from head to foot and bearing deep marks of the jaguar’s teeth in the back, where the beast had seized him to carry him away, recovered complete- ly from his injuries, although bearing the scars for his lifetime. The puma and the jaguar were found, both dead, at the place where they had fought.— Philadelphia Times. AMERICAN CARS. Used Pretty Much Everywhere in All the “’aters of the World. American cars are used pretty much all over the world; in many countries almost exclusively. The British Gov- ernment has for years bought all of the cars used on its war vessels in this country, making a new contract yearly. IThe contract for the present year’s supply is held by a. New York city firm having factories in the West. American cars are used also on French, German, Italian, and Dutch ships. The cars exported to European coun- tries are chiefly of lengths from ten feet upward. Oars of shorter lengths they supply themselves. To Australia the United States send oars of all lengths, and the same is true of South Afria. Up and down the coast of South America none but American oars are used, and in any harbor in the world where a man is seen rowing a boat, in China, Japan, anywhere, it is more than likely that he is pulling with American oars. The present annual output of Ameri- can cars is estimated at 5,000,000 feet, enough to reach in an unbroken line of cars placed end to end from, say, New Yorw to Chicago. It has been greater. The decrease is due to the use of the bicycle and to the largely increased use of launches and various other small craft propelled by steam and other mo- tive powers. These agencies have been most effective in this country, but they are now in some degree operative in all parts of the-world. A great many more are still used, however, and there are factories in which nothing else is made—New York Sun. JEFFERSON’S STAGE FRIGHT. He Was Hlssed When He Tried to Recito a. Patriotic Hymn. Joseph Jefierson was a guest at the Clover Club the other night, and told the following in the course of a charac- teristic speechz' “My friends, you ask me if I was ever hissed on the stage. Well, I have been, and the rendition of ‘The Star-Spangeld Banner just now recalls to my mind an instance. It was in just such stirring times as the present that I learned the words of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner‘.’ I was 15 years old and had been aSsigned to recite the hymn. For days I studied the words, and I ' knew them so thor- oughly that I could recite them back- ward. At last the fateful evening ar- rived, and when it was my turn I went upon the stage. I recited the first line, ‘Oh, say, can you see.’ There I stuck. The audience waited for me to goon. I started again and stuck again. A girl, draped in the Stars and Stripes. next to me, said, ‘Go on, you!’ but, after an- other attempt, ‘you’ couldn’t go on. I had forgotten it completely. After one more attempt, in which I could get no I further, I was compelled to leave the stage amid the hisses of the entire au- dience. But that day thoroughly taught me ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,’ and I I haVe never forgotten it.”-—Philadelphia Times. II should say so. Venniiess gi1l two years ago, and he A Delay. '1. 1' 1:. A, 1,311 MARTIAL LAW FOR KLONDIKE. “_ England Preparing to Thoroughly Garri- son the Northwest. In no part of the world has the Klono dike attracted more attention than in England. The British intellect which is dull and stocky at the best of times. has been stung into a feeling of hu- miliation at finding that while a Jam- eson raid into the Transvaal was being organized in London, the keen and ir- rich auriferous region either in close proximity to or actually within the Canadmn Dominions of the Queen. To have half a dozen statesmen or great dukes defeated, or perilously near t0 irretrievable disgrace, at the hands of 00m Paul, was simply awful ill luck. But to have John Bull’s dear cousin realize all the fruits of discovery in the Northwest was too tantalizing in the extreme. Accordingly English- men have wonderfully bestirred them- selves within the past six months and having poured capital into various mining properties in British Columbia, under a syndicate which has a royal Duke for its President, they are now engaged in trying to form one huge trust of all the mining claims in the Klondike. A great scheme of this kind needs something more than money; and therefore besides large subscriptions of capital there has been a quiet enroll- ment going on in England for what is euphemistically termed “the North West Mounted Police." Instead of being what it pretends to be it is a distinctly military organization. In other words it is a most efficient form of cavalry Service under the rather de- ceptive name of "police.” This force already numbers considerably over 1, 000 men and is organized under the somewhat analagous powers to those invested in the military wing of the Riyal Niger Company of Africa. It. is drilled too as a cavalry force, each man carrying a Lee-Metford carbine and in addition to the usual accoutre- ments, a heavy revolver. It is a bel- licerent and militant force in the hi best sense rather than protective or political. Formerly the Canadian authorities retained a few- scattering officers prop- erly termed a Mounted Police in Maui- toba and the Assinaboine regions to nevent smuggling and to do the usual routine duties of an ordinary nature. But the members wele very different in physique, equipment and efficiency to those mounted dragoons which the British Government have lately sent into that portion of the North West bordering on the Klondike, and since the rush of Americans there in the summer of 1897. Is the Transvaal fail- ure to be recouped in Alaska? In speaking of these Canadian Mounted Police an English organ of therArmy and Navy interests states that “there Is hardly a. finer force in the world,” the meaning of which phrase from such a source is that these mounted dragoons are intended as a. fighting ~ather than as a police force on our \101 thern boundary. Of this fact there .aq be no doubt whatever because in 1 further description we are told that this British regiment is "composed of men nearly all six feet high, who can ride‘and fight like any of the red skin heroes of Fenimore Cooper’s romanc- es.” Such is the character given of Vhese men in a standard organ of the British Army. Obviously therefore the word ”police” applied to them is either a misnomer or a joke; They would answer excellently in case of a. raid. But there is even a. more inter- esting kind of information about this regiment and the work cut out for it, furnished from Canada, where British feeling is more accurately, even if op- passively, interpreted for the benefit at- Americans than is always possible .n the case of the mother country. An American newspaper was recently so much attracted by this dragoon mo- onizatiou on the part of the Canadian Government‘that it sent interrogator- [es on the subject amongst others to the editor of the “Mail and Empire” of Toronto The Canadian Editor re- sons of well- to— do Englishmen spec- Ialiy recruited for services in Canada, that they were all splendid marksmen 1nd would not hesitate to shoot if there was any trouble in the Klondike. Un- zil the Army and Navy Journal corrob- orated in substance this information! there was a belief that theSe border editors were playfully exchanging car-- iEl'sT'and that there was really no significance to be attached to the sub« 1tituticn of these dragoons for the old .Vl‘anitoba Mounted Police. But the :oncentration of a force of “heroes" :hat can “ride and fight”; that would not hesitate to shoot Americans and of whose splendid marksmanship we are issured, may be of interest to those 1b0ut to settle there. They have ap- parently come to stay. Canada appoints her own po- ice like any other self-governing iation, and there is something con- :ealed in respect of this force or some- thing rotten in the state of that coun- :ry if the British Government deems it necessary to override the local func- :ions of the Government or forces Can- ada. to discriminate against it own cit- zens in order to pick out “the well- ,o-do" sons cf Englishmen and put hem on guard, cap a pie. ——Algernon Murray.
