A JULY PROSPECTUS. The deoidedly weather that aa a rale rosohes us about the middle of Jnne has evidently been delayed until the present month. For that reason the nsnal Midsummer badness in cottons and lig ht weight woolens will be supplemented by demand for suoh goods as are usually disposed of during Juno. It shall bo our aim to meet this extra demand from oar perfectly assorted stooks, at priees suoh as will guarantee rapid sale, and to offer suoh liberal inducements as will command the strong and continued interest of every careful purchaser. At the same time, a series of olearanoe sales of suoh goods as are strictly soasonable, will be carried on, and wo shall also from day to day offer somo of the innumerable special lota that tho close of a season forces the manufacturers and importers to plaoe in our hands for quiok sale at any price.

Our July Sales will commence on Tuesday Morning, when our regular eounters and special tables will be brought into requisition for a most ample display of Summer Dress Goods, Suits, Embroideries, etc, etc Eaoh day thereafter we shall announce all snob, especially attractive features as wiJJ constantly be added.

There were Germans and Swedos, Danes and Norwegians, Welsh and English and Scotch and need I write it? Irish, ten to every one of the oth ers. There wero young women and old women chits of sixteen, as ignorant of tho culinary art as a cow is of astronomy, and wrinkled old hags, so shaky that china intrusted to their hands would pretty surely Boon be like spilt milk paBt crying after. There were dowdy looking drudges and fine ladies, In tho prevallng hat, with flowers and feath ers. There were short womon and tall women, pretty women and ugly women. Thero wore good tempered looking women and viragos, who carried temper wrltun on every feature, like flags hung out at the foro.

Our choice was made by half past ton a good natured looking Welsh turned out to be as ignorant of cooking as a horse, as stupid as an owl by daylight, and as stubborn as the mo3t obdurate donkey who ever kept the breeching bands taut when the whip was plied. Though tho announce ment was at once made that wo were suited, the stream continued to flow on and In for a while, as many would not take "No" for an answer, and Insisted on an Interview. It may bo sot down as a rulo that tho respectable women" aro invariably Koman Catholics; the Protestants and this often moans only that they are not Catholics thinking it to their advantage to advertlso their Protestantism as well as their re spectability. Then it is curious to observe how many Damon and Pythias friendships exist among the respectable girls," so many of them advertising in couples, wishing to go together Into tho same family. Some are docayed "ladies" who wish to do "light housework:" and Home young ladies" de sire to aot as housekeepers.

Some are careful about their social status, and will only live in first class families: and some, entirely as a matter of favor, we presume, "would assist in the washing." One advertlseB herself as a highly respectable Protestant woman," and states that she under s'ands growing children." know some families where such a person would be invaluable, for the children In them have a puny and stunted appear ance, suggestive of the great need of some one to superintend their growth. Here let us. take our leave of Bridget With all her faults, and she has many, we cannot do without her, which she well knows, and this is the chief source of hor strength and the chief reason why she is so ready to fly off at a tangent and desert her post at a moment's notice. Things are gradually but surely Improving, however, and depend upon it that whenever Bridget finds a capable, sensible and kindly mistress a real lady who commands her unqualified respect In firm possession of tbe hard est mysteries of the kitchen, she adjusts herself to her circumstances with extraordiuary facility and good will.

C. M. GENTLEMANLY JOE JOHNSTON. A slender, white whiskered, brave eyed man aat near the fare box in tho upper end of an street car this afternoon. He wore a high white Derby hat upon his head, and his clothes were of black broadcloth.

A hieh Henry Clay collar grasped his neck and a pair of black rimmed spec tacles huug by aitrlng upon his vest. He was chat ting to a lady at his side, and his black eyos sparkled and a most winning Bmilo beamed ovor his weather beaton face as the conversation went ou. The car stopped and I was surprised to see him Jump to bis feet and walk rapidly to the door. As my eyes followed him they rested upon a little fair faced hunch baok on crutches who was trying Io get into the car. She had the face of a child and tho body of a mature woman, but that body was contorted and twisted and dwarfed out of all human proportion.

I saw this slender, white whiskered, bronze faced, dark eyed man bend ovor her and ask her where she wanted to go. She told him and her face lighted up as he assured her that this car was the right ono. Then, addressing her with as much courtesy as though she had boen the President's now bride, he asked her if he might not help her Into tho car. She thanked hlra and, putting his hands undor her arms, he lifted her up thestops, and placed hor crutches beside her. Hotippod his hat and then ho resumed his seatand conversation.

This old gentleman was General Joe Johnston, the great Confederate leader. Seventy nine years old. he was double tlie age of any man in tho car. His eyes were the first to see tbe trouble of the little hunchback, and his Iron muscles were the first to com? to her assistance. He did this kindness as though it were nothing, and as I saw the unassmiug way In which he bore himself 1 could not help thinking of tho old verse: The bravest are the teuderest, the loving are the daring.

BOUQUETS UNDER WATER. Slow to Preuervo Floivem Fruuh for a fjOHff Time, The following is a description of the process by which a bouquet of flowers can bo preserved res( or a long time A vessel of water is required the vessel should be large euough to allow tho submersion In It of a plate or dish holding the bouquet to be preserved, and a bell glass to cover the bouquet. The dish or plate should contain no moss or othor material the waier should bo limpid and quite pure. Placo the plate at the bottom of the water, and on tho plato, submerging it, placo tho bouquet which Is maintained in an upright position by a weighted base previously attached to It. This bo ing done tho Douquet is covered with a bell glass, tho rim of which ought to fit exactly to the flat part of the plate: tho bell glass should bo entirely filled with water, and without tho least air bubble.

Then, all raised together, plate, bouquot and boll glass filled with water, and placed on a table, carefully wlpiug the exterior, but leaving on the plato, around the base of tho bell glass, a little provision of water which prevents the entrance of air. Tho flowers In this condition will bo prosorved In all their freshness for several wooks, and their beauty Is increased by a great number of bubbles of gas produced by the respiration of tho loaves, and which attach them Belvos to tho potals. appearing like pearls. The edge of tho plato and the water that It contains shoull bo concealed by a light bed of moss in which aro sot somo other flowers. In the evening, by artificial light, a bouquet thus arrauged produces a charming effect.

Vick't Magazine. A VISION OF THE SEA. A Ml (flit Iceberg; with Pinnacloi Reaching to (bo Sky Within a week I had a vjyid dream. I saw plainly a mighty Iceberg, with piunoclos reaching fantastically to tho sky. It was like a floating ca thodral, but the mist of Incense was tho dense fog of the chill north.

I could see the green waves dashing on Its carved pediments, and Its translucent foundations vanishing in monstrous depths. I ro mombei ed a weird story of the Etsjungfrau, and I looked to soo if I could discover her gleaming draperies, as though she had throne on tho highest battlement. Then, uddeuly, thore seemed to come, as th the nun of doom, a dark form rising on the swelling wave, I heard no crash, no cry, but as tho ablpfstruck head on, tho masts went by the board, and there opened a frightfnl nolo In tho how, through which 1 saw the water pour, as through a mill race. Almost Instantly tho deck was filled with people rushing about frantically In search of aid. Thou having backod away by the rebound, the groat Bhlp gave a suddeu lurch and plunge Into the depths.

At that moment I saw Shammal Kip and his bride go down together, she clinging to him, and his faco lighted with the perfect peace of love and courage. Overland Uonthlj. Three Months' Study of a Long Island Asylum, Practical Kidnapping The Power of Two DoctorsAn Inmate Appointed Night Watchman Crnel Keepers and Maltreated Patients. Some Good Advice. Fact and fiction some times touch, and the most improbable Incidents in a sensatloual novel or Incredible scenes of a thrilling melodrama are often reproduced in real life.

About a year ago I was conflnod In ono of our county luantlc asylums. I have no porsonol grievance, I was properly re strained and kiudly treated, but while there somo peculiar facts came to my notice whioh I think will interest the public generally and especially the relatives and frlonds of lunatics. If such things can occur in public asylums, what may not happen in private ones, where the unfortunate Inmates have no chance to complain of their treatmont? Shortly aftor my reason had returned, I hoard tho superintendent siry to a patlont, who was surrounded by group of supervisors, overseers of the poor and other officials: I think that this Is a clear case of kidnapping." My curiosity was aroused, and I asked him, as soon as I could find an opportunity to speak to him pr.vately, about his case. "I commenced," he replied, "a suit against my father for alienation of ray wife's affections: he thought that the easiest way of settling the matter was to shut me up here. I've never been insane for a moment and it's a strange state of affairs that a sane man can be treated as I've been.

Don't you think so, too What doctors examiued you 7" I asked. "Drs. and he answerod, naming two well known Long Island physicians. "Don't they know the difference between in sanity and reason was my comment on this stato mont." "Thoy ought to," ho said; "they've had experience enough. I'm inclined to think that they took my father's word for it, for my examination was careloss and superficial, I've engagnd a smart lawyer, however, and hope to be released soon." I questioned the keepers, with whom I was on very good terms, about this, patient, and thoy all declared that he had never sho.vn the slightest sign of Insanity and all thought that it was a nhame to have placed him in the asylum at all.

Yet he was kopt there for over two months, whon he was finally released. If his father had been shrewd enough to put him In a private asylum he would probably have been confined there until thl day. It seems to mo that this In cident shows that there Is something radically wrong in our insanity laws. Any two physicians, young or old, expert or inexperienced, can deprive a man of his liberty and consign him to a living death. Unprincipled doctors In the past have been bribed to certify to the Insanity of sano persons and may do again in the future.

This case proves that, even when honest, they may, through carelessness or ignorance. Imprison men In their right minds. It is placing altogether too much power in Individual hands. There is not any good reason why anyone accused of having an unsound mind should not always have a regular Jury trial, so that, with the aid of an able lawyer, he can have an opportunity to show the facta of tho case. As the law now stands he can have a trial in special cases, but that is not enough.

There should be a public hearing of the matter under all circumstances. Here is another remarkable case. A patient who told me that he never was insane, but that his father shut him up because he went on occasional sprees, was shortly after his confinement made night vatohman. A crazy night watchman 1 This fact alone is evidence enough of the truth of his story. He naturally took advantage of his position to escape, and made a voyoge to Florida at a sailor.

On his return, although In full possession of all his senses, he was arrested as an escapod lunatic. He had been kept In the asylum when I was there for over a year at the county's expense. He was strong, healthy, able and willing to support himself, yet he was Imprisoned without rhyme or reason, and when he asked for his release was quieted with plausible promises, which Trere never kept 1 offered to send him a lawyer, but he seemed to think that his father would soon consent to his release the rule being in thiB asylum that a patient must stay there. sane or insane, until his relatives consent to his release. As he would not accept my offer I bad to leave him to his fate, and he may be there yet for all I know.

There was not any separation of the patients into different classes, the violent and quiet, the healthy and those suffering from loathsome and contagious diseases were all huddled together. At night tho patients were all locked in their rooms at tho top of the building, which was furnished with narrow aud crooked stairs. In caso of fire the loss of life would inevitably have been very great The drainage was so Imperfect that the air was always tainted with ropulslvo and unwholesome odors. For over Blxty patients there was only one closet, with room for one person at a time. The brutality, cruelty and inhumanity of the keepers was incredible.

I would not have believed that such a state of things could have existed In a civilized community if I had not seen it with my own eyes. If a new patient was quiet well and good, it not, his spirit was broken. 1 have seen thren keepers throw a patlont ofl the floor, strike him with their fists, kick him in the face and so abuse him that I thought he would die under their hands. 1 often heard them say. "I wonder we didn't kill that follow." Tho head ketfper walked up and down tho room when ho felt out of humor striking the men right and left with a leather strap, and sometimes push ed them down a flight of steps by way of variety.

I have seen meu driven from their meals by blows ovor tho head and then seen them running about the yard with blood streaming their faces, I havo seen an epileptic beaten over the head until blood gushed from his nostrils becauso he did not give up a box of dominoes quick enough to suit the keepor. When the assistant superintendent saw him the next morning he said: "What's the matter with your faco "He's got the mumps," sold a keeper with a sly wink, and thoy laughed ovor the matter as a good Joke. You think we're cruel," said a keeper to me one day. You ought to see how they treat them In PoughkeepBie. We're kind in comparison to the way thoy treat them thero." The maimer In which patients are troated In our public and private aBylums Is a disgrace to our civilization.

There will nover be any change for the better until a different class of keepers aro employed. Young medical students or graduates, who wish to make a specially of nervous diseases, could find no more suitable place to study their symptoms than In an asylum, and I have no doubt would willingly act as keopors, or, as they euphoniously call themselves, attendants. Keepers are not only brutal, but are also Ignorant. They mistake tho hallucinations and vagaries of insanity for ugliness or bad temper, and thoy try to cure by punishment I saw a patlont suffering from melancholia given a cold bath, and afterward knocked dowu because he would not behave himself properly. If a patient says anything insulting to them thoy resent it as quickly as though he was in his right mind.

1 havo Been an old man ovor 70 havo his ears soundly box od for daring to criticise a keeper's base ball playing. When they aro not abusing the men they are teasing them for amusement, or in order to kill time, so that In ouo way or another they are always doing something to aggravate mental disease and chauge temporary into chronic insanity. If I had been troated as most of tho patients were I would never have left tho place alivo, as I am naturally of an unusually delicate constitution. Fortunatoly I was a boarder, and to this circumstance alone 1 owe my recovery. I would earnestly entreat the relatives and friends of lunatics never to put tbem in an asylum If thore tho slightest hope of their recovery.

In these Institutions everything Is against their Improvement tho associations tor one thing: Imagine a consumptive, for instance, shut up with fifty other consumptives; the sympathetic action would certainly Increase the violence of his disease and retard its cure. Tho same thing is true of mental diseases. Again, a person is taken from a home where he has delicate food on a tablo furnlshod with respectable, for want of a better word I will say, furniture, clean cloth, dainty dishes, glassware, etc. There he must oat off a bare plank, with 111 tasting knives and spoous, made of pewter, while all his food Is mixed together ou ono plsto. All around him aro his fellow lunatics, oating like hogs with their Angers and muttering to themselves.

The keepers meanwhile are cursing and swearing or throwing potatoes at the men for a joke. Tour appetite is destroyed, and the little food you manage to force down is not digested and barely sutuoes to keep An Account of a One.

Again turn to tho advertising columns, and, if tou are a shrewd observer, you will get a good glimpse of the inner social lifo of tho people. And those columns, too, prove to us whether we live on the Heights or on tho 111 what an imperative necessity the nowspapor lias become to our moaern life. What should we do wore wo deprived of this ready method of communicating with half a million or more of our fellow citizens? Not only should we loBe the nows and we are certainly a news loving people but how should we And our lost pets, dog and canary birds and parrots 7 How should we supply our wants procure teachers of French and dancing and deportment for our children ascertain what social tIco Dr. Talmage is going to ox obrlato with his merciloss rhotorlc nest Sunday and last, not least, how should we obtain efficient help in the management of our Internal domestic economy? It is with regard to the latter phase of nowspapor activity that I would venture here to make a recent memorable experience of mine in servant hunting In this fair City of Brooklyn tho text for a.fow general reniarfes. It is an undoubted fact that in one element, at least, of our social comfort wo areas far behind our brethren in the older countries of Europe as they are behind us in invention, readiness of resource and executive vim aud that Is In the vexed matter of household service, or help, as it is often but too truly called, for tho service rendered more frequently partakes of tho nature of incompetent help than of competent substitution.

Tho English conaidsr themselves sufficiently aggrieved by the peculations and idleness and growing effrontery of the graded members of their kitchen cabinets, to write often satirically and, doubtless, often truthfully about the growing evil of their sorvantgaHsm; but what are their troubles with a distinctly recognized servant class in their social system compared with ours under a democracy, whore not only is Jack as good as his master," but he often thinks himself a groat deal better? I bog pardon. The old proverb has betrayed me into the use of an Inadmissible word. We have no masters, nor mistresses either, among ub; and, in our striving (now getting palpably Blacker) after a false and impossible ideal of equality, words have lost their true meaning though tho tendency decidedly in the present decade is to take them up In their original significations. We shall not stickle about words, however, If our domestlo "helps" will only give us the thing we want: servants who. will cheerfully do, not what they wish, but what they are kindly told to do, and who will not undertake to relieve us entirely of the management of our domestic affairs and the discipline of our families.

Mr. Jones," said a clergyman on pastoral visit, "I never Bee you ot church on Sunday evenings." No," replied the parishioner; to tell you the truth, I cannot very well get out on Sunday night, for I am obliged to take care of the children." Why, how is that: have you no servants 7" yes! said poor paterfamilias, "we keep two, but they don't allow us any privileges." There lies the gist of tho whole question. In many an American houae the real masters are In the kitchen; in many an American house of considerable pretensions the only training the children get is from the servants, and In elmple Justice to the latter it must be admitted here tbat Bridget has often more Bense than her mistress. In glancing over the "Wants" columns of our special newspaper the first curious feature that strikes us is the fact that while an innumerable host of servants are seeking situations, a multitude of housekeepers are seekiug servants. Beside this means of bringing the two parties together the city ewarma with employment and intelligence oflli es, at the best of which, for a small fee, the servant is assured of places for a year or at all events, Introductions to places aud the employer Is supplied with servants until he finds one to suit At one of these agencies, on the Hill, when applying for help I was charged $2 registration fee, and obliged to submit to an examination of tho Civil Service pattern.

Another fact which renderi this inundation of servants' advertisements so unaccountable Is that, in scores of cases, the parties are not brought together by this means at all. Servants often continue for days to publish their want of a place, but in vain; and employers who advertise contlnuo to wait for the competent person they do go much noed to turn up. It Is true the two parties are not equally balanced. In the sheet before me two solid columns of due type represent the wants of females seeking situations under the head of "General Housework," while leas than a column represents. the housekeepers seeking cooks, chambermaids and general help.

And this brings me to the strangest thing of all. So after the servants you are likely to Dud suited to you, and, notwithstanding the multitude of them, they are either engaged before you reach them, or on being reachod and seen they prove to be anything but what you ivant. A case came under my notice lately which went far to prove that there Is a good deal of scheming going ou In connectfbu with these Occasionally a girl, though In a good place, does not like hor mistress or has gome other grlovan and so she advertises at random to see what a cast or two of the net will bring forth, always meeting hor respondents at the house of afrieud wheu It is "Susan's evening out." Sometimes, too, when the real advertiser has been engaged before your arrival for you must go to her, not she to you efforts are made to foist upon you some relative or friend out of place, wtiose antecedents will not bear the closest Investigation. Try the other plan and advertise, and the chances are that you will try it again. Listen to my late experience: A plain cook was needed in our humble establishment, and as no one else had the leisure or the strength to look up servants, it fell upon tho unitiated head of tho family to seek to supply the want.

Marking seven of tbe most promising advertisements in my newspaper, and putting It carefully into my pocket, 1 started on my quest. The best, as I thought, I took first, and, as the place designated was in tho far oastern part of the city, to reach It involved a walk of ovor a mile after leaving the car. Arrived at 9.30 A. aud already engaged I Advertising bad succeeded with her, at any rate. I should have como hero tho evening before, as soon as tho paper was out No.

She wanted only $20 per month; Sunday mornings early, Sunday afternoon and two evenings in the week out; company (her "cousin a nice, quiet young man at home on the other evenings; and on Friday, oggs for breakfaBt and flsh for dinner. I did rutit engage her. Ko. 3 was bo obviously inclined to take hor tea very strong that I declined to negotiate.

No. 4, in South Brooklyn, was reached after a long ride and a short walk, and proved to be in possession of several wrlttou recommendations, but as she knew no ono in tho city who could vouch for her honesty, I declined to intrust our few spoons to her oare. No. 5, a "mOBt respectable woman," turned out to be such a battered old specimen of humanity one who had lived on an average lu four places a year that I felt compelled to refuse her earnost request to be allowed to try with ua. I felt sorry for this one.

but I also felt that she would bo more of a hindrance than a help in a house, and so loft her. No. fi. Having arrlvod at this ono's addross afior considerable difficulty of navigation was ushered into a neatly furnished room on tho third door by a muscular, bri looking woman of 45 or thereabout. I asked for tho ''young person who had advertised her taleuts.

And forthwith she poured forth a torrent of questions about the size of the family, the houtiehold conveniences, tho number of meals 10 be daily cooked, the quantity of waahlog and ironing to be done, otc, winding up with a broad enough hint that as she had thoroughly learned her business In "the best families In Brooklyn, she didn't expect to bo Interfered with In the kitchen. I declare, that woman ttnt me away feeling quite mean to think that I can say from bitter experience do far more harm than good. "Avoid anodynes as you would poison.

SCHOOL CHILDREN AND MEASLES. Does tbe Diveaxe Spread Anions Pupils in tbe Schools The question of the propriety of requiring school children belonging to families having one or more of their members sick with measles to discontinue their attendance at school for the time being was made one of the subjects of dlscu3elou ot the Freiberf Congress, and has more recently engaged the attention of the Berliner medicin.sche Gceeltchat, Horr Wasserfuhr having introduce it by a formal paper. As regards all infectious diseases, measles included, this question Is ono that often obtrudes itself on the attention of conscientious parents and careful teachers. The maternal mind usually finds it easy to solve, and its solution lu tho particular Instances involved is apt to be arrived at somewhat summarily. This fact, however, does not go very far toward settling the question in tho minds of those who find themselves burdened, either from their official position or from their own instincts as good citizens, with the duty of following a uourse that shall insure cue minimum of danger to tho great body of pupils, and at the same time the minimum of disadvantage to the brothers and sisters of the sick children.

Tho question hinges partly to the lay mind almost wholly upon that of the mediate communicability of the infection. Paronls very generally entertain a more or lees pronounced Dolief In the communicability of measles by persons who, although In perfect health themselves, come in frequent contact with those suffering with the disease; and they act accordingly, withdrawing their children from schools where the brothers or sisters of tho sick are allowed to continue their attendance. There can be little doubt that this belief is unwarranted, and we are confident that we express the opinion of the great majority of physicians when we say that the of measles by mediate infection, although not to be absolutely impossible, is so raro and Improbable that In itself it constitutes positively no valid reason for insisting that the brothers and sisters of measles patients shall suffer an interruption of their attendance at school, especially as the disease Is usually of slight gravity when It affects children old enough to be sent to school. Measles, we allow. Is by no means a trivial disease the mortality from it Is large Inmost communities; but, as was clearly brought out by one of the speakers at the Berlin meeting, as his remarks are reported in the Dentiche Mcdizinal Zitiung, the mortality Is comparatively trifling in children ovor five years of age.

But mediate infection Is not un reasonable to assume, as wob also pointed out In the Berlin discussion, that "aTrapil who has really become Infected himself, but has not yet sbown signs of tho disease being, wo will Bay, at any stage of incubation period of from nine to olovon days may convey the Infection to others. In other words, the disease may be Infectious during tho period 0 Incubation, and we have no moans of detecting it at that stage. The resonable deductions from these considerations seems to be that school children belonging to households were mea sles Is present need not discontinue their attendance, provided they have already had the disease them selves, but that their continued presence at school should be forbidden in case it can not be shown satisfactorily that they have acquired the immunity conferred by au antecedent attack. Veto York Medical Journal. THE SUNDAY QUESTION.

What is Needed Ureal I by the Working We want, with our brethern of the working class, that which wo have largely lost tho Church I fear not less th those who aro outsldo of it that expressive thing which wo call "touch." Aud wo can only recover it by going among them and seeking to understand and help them, not with doles or in a spirit of condescending patronage, but with an honest purpose to know them as men and to treat them as brethren. If to this end all tho congregations of all tho churches of our great cities could bo turned out of thoir comfortable sanctuaries for one Sunday, and left to And thoir way among those of whoso lives and homos they know at present absolutely nothing, this at least would come to pass, that thoy would learn enough to set them thinking with unwonted earnestness, says an English nobleman in a modern work of fiction, having been advised to cure his hypochondria by cultivating tho acquaintance of people more unfortunate than himself, "do you know any of the working classes 7" Ves, my lord." "Then bring mo son) SaunderB." It is a very commo mistake In doaling with more than one of our social problems. Unfortunately, the "working classes" will not be "brought" But they can be sought and known. And if we should have them on our side in defending Sunday ffom secular encroachments, we may well use some part of it In cultivating their acquaintance, and so in learning of wants which, once owned and met, they will Join hands with all lovers of their kind in the defense of Sunday and of those common interests which it has so mightily helped to conserve. It may be that wo cannot at onco persuade them to eBtoem it for its highest uses; but if we can begin by making it the Day of Human Brotherhood a day for promoting its spirit and fostering its expression, we shall have taken the first step toward rescurlng it from dishonor, and redeeming It for tho good of man and tho glory of God Princeton Bevieui.

WILD HUNTERS. Leopard Treed and Torn to Pieces. One traveler tells of having witnessed the pursuit and destruction of a large leopard by a pack of wild dogs. Whether or not the dogs had set out with the intention of capturing the leopard he could not tell. He saw them start up the great cat in a low Jungle.

The leopard made no effort at first to fight off its assailants; but, with a series of prodigious springs, sought shelter in the only refuge the plain afforded a tree which had partially fallen. There the hunted beast stood, snarling and growling In a manner that would have frightened off any ordinary foe. The savage dogs, however, never hesitated a moment, but with agile leaps ran up the sloping trunk, and gave instant battle to their furious game. One after another, the dogs were hurled book, eachp stroke of the paw making one foe less. Yet they continued to throw themselves against the enraged creature, until, wearied by the contest and wounded in fifty places, it fell from the tree; when, still struggling, It was quickly torn to pieces.

It must not be supposed, however, that the wild dog usually prefers as formidable game as the leopard. A sheep fold is always an attraction too great for the wild dog to pass. And now, after calling this wild hunter a dog, I shall have to say that it Is not a dog at all, but Is only a sort of cousin to tho dog, aud really a nearer relative of the hyena, though it so resembles both animals as to have gained the name of hyena dog. Its sclentlflo name Is Lycaon venaucut; and beoldos tho two common names already mentioned It has halt a dozen more. Si.
