AN IMPATIENT PANTHER.
‘ Ignominions Failure.
Hunters who go forth to shoot pan-i
thers have generally a. story of triumph,
or at least of a worthy and thrilling es-
cape, to relate. E But the author of
“Thirty Years of Shikar” describes the
only chance he ever had of making an
appearance as a. slayer of the large
feline creatures as resulting in a. crush-
ing failure. He gives the story as fol-
lows: I
A panther was marked down for 'me
in a small thicket, and I went forth to
do forit. When I reached the ground
the panther was still there, and a keen-
' eyed native pointed it out to me.
“Hitherwurd was its head," said this
man, “thitherward its tail. Doesn’t
the sahib see it? There! therei" and
he pointed to a spot about three. yards
off.
But I did not See that. panther—either
its head, or its tail, or anything that
was its; I saw only a mass of light and
shade under a dense overgrowh of
greenery, dead leaves and grass that
were yellowish where the pencils of
light broke in upon the gloom, and
otherwise mysterious shadow that told
nothing to my unaccustomed eye.
All that I looked upon in that green-
wood tangle was equally panther; i
could pick out no particular patch as
being any more pantherish than the
rest; of head or tail I made out noth-
ing where all was equally one or the
other, and still that native of keenest
yision besought me to see that pan—
thcr’s head and tail and right forefoot,
and many other details of its anatomy.
Then there came a roar out of the
thicket, and a rush which was like the
feet, and, as it seemed, several tons of
that upheaved matter hit me in the
chest and other parts, and I was cuta-
pulted onto the broad of my back a
yard or two from where I had stood.
That upheaval was the panther. The
brute hadn’t had the patience to wait
until I saw him, or the modesty to take
himself off peaceably in some other di-
rection; he had resented my staring
his way, even though I saw him not,
and so had emerged out of his lair like
an animal rocket. and knocked in -
down in his flight.
As he failed to claw me, I came off
scatheless; but not so my attendant,
who foolishly embraced the panther in
view to arresting his flight; he got him—
self badly mauled, and did not come a
whole man out of the hospital for some
weeks. That was my disastrous com—
mencement vith panthers.
A LETERARY SWINOLER.
Lppointed Professor of Arabic Yitiioiw
Even Knowing the Alphabet.
One of the cleverest literary swin-
dlers who ever lived, says the Detroit
Free Press, was a. Maltese named Voila,
who pretended to have an intimate ac-
quaintance with Arabic. although he
did not know a. word of that language,
and was not even familiar with the al-
phabet. He arrived in Sicily about the
end of the last century, at. a time when
the barons of that country, in order to
settle a. dispute about their feudal
right, were anxious to gain certain in-
formation about the kingdom in the
days of the Saracens.
Voila. contrived to be appointed
translator of certain .o‘irabic manu-
scripts, and he actually produced an
alleged translation and played his part
with such address that he obtained
honors, dignity and the professorship of
Arabic in the University of Palermo.
The Sicilian literati at last became
suspicious and endeavored to expose
the impostor, but he was defended by
some of the most eminent men of the
island, and it was with the greatesi
difficulty that an investigation was se-
cured. Vella. was at last, however,
convicted and sentenced to fifteen
years’ imprisonment.

That Pre-
TO THE INTEREST OF
A Piece of .African Despotism
‘ventl Ovarchnrgmg.
Kabareg‘a, the negro king of Unyoro,
in Central Africa, is a man who rules
his subjects with a rod of iron. Like
all tyrants, he regulates their smallest
actions, and a. host of spies inform
him of any disobedience to his com-
mands. ,
Among other things he has made a.
fixed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and
every deviation from it is severely pun-
ished. An instance of this is given by
Vita. Hassan in his book about Emin
Pasha and the Equatorial Province.
About a month after his arrival in
Unyoro, he bought a fowl and paid
thirty cowries for it, while the market
price was only twenty-five. In that
part of Africa it takes about two hun-
dred and fifty cowries to make a. dol-
lar. Soon afterward a dragoman of
the king appeared and brought back
five cowries with the message: .
“A fowl costs only twenty-five cow-
ries, While you have given thirty. The
seller has done wrong, and the king-
will punish him; but he sends to you
the advice to be careful henceforth in
your purchases never to give for any-
thing more than it is worth, first of all
in your own interest, and, next to this,
in order not to disturb the market.”
Mexico’s Early Population. .
Everywhere about the valleys of New
Mexico, invariably upon eminences,
and usually upon high flat-topped
mesas or table hills, are the ruins of
houses of the ancient semi-civilized
Indian population that lived here and
illed the soil before the coming of the
Spaniards, four centuries ago. The
numbers of this old population can be
only vaguely inferred by the numerous
cobblestone foundations of their
houses, still well defined above the sur-
face of the ground, and by the debris
of the fallen walls which constitute
hillocks, grass-grown and intermixed
with occasional old stone utensils and
countless fragments of pottery. This
pottery, when turned up by the spade,
is found to be handsome and varied in
'color and as fresh of tint as it could
have been when the village was de-
stroyed or abandoned and every tradi-
tion of its existence lost in prehistoric
