W. Fltxslmmons, and remain . there Until ho called for her on his way back. Mrs. 'Smith was putting on her bonnet when she was horrified to observe the heaa of an enormous pan- thcr through tho open door. She sprang toward the window, hoping to oscapo. At her first movement tho panther sprang in at the door and rushed under tho bed. Mrs. Smith then ran through the door and rcachod her neighbor's houoo thoroughly ex- haustcd. ,..- !.... j .i.wt i. , b. companies by Fitzslmmons, left for his u-,- -ro- viii , oonm nvnv n.o panther. Fltzslmmons took a shotgun and Smith was armed with a butcher knlfo and carried a lantern. Reaching tho house, Smith stepped Inside, when the panther, which had been feeding on tho remains of a deer, sprang at 'his throat, bearing him to tho ground and breaking tho lantern. Smith finally succeeded In gaining his feet and called Fltxslmmons for help, but tho latter won able to see only tho dim outlines of tho struggle. , Smith plied his knlfo and finally nuc cceded In administering a fatal wound. Tho panther released his hold, and, Hftcr a fow convulsive struggles, lay on the floor. Smith, though scratched and lacorated, was not seriously In jured. Mr. and Mrs. Smith remained all night at tho Fltxslmmons ranch and returned to their homo Sunday morn ing. On their arrival at tho house they encountered another panther, tho female, which wbb soon treed by Fltz slmmons' doge and killed. SPEED OP INSECTS. A Comsaoa noma Fly Travail a Hits la Thtrty-thraa Saeouds. It is the poular belief that the flight pf the birds Is much swifter than that pf the insects, but a number or natur- 'allsl w 1 bave been making a study of the ma think that such is not tho case, sa. Science A common house 'fly, for example, is not very rapid in Its flight, but Its wings make 800 beats a cocond and send it through the air twenty-flvo feet, under ordinary cir cumstances, in that spaco ot time. Whon the Insect Is alarmed, however, It has been found that It can Increase Its rate of speed to over 160 feet per cocond. If It could continue such rapid flight for a mllo in a straight lino It 'would cover that dlstanco In exxactly 33 seconds. It Is not su uucsminoa thing when traveling by rail in tho summer time to sep a bee or wasp keep- ' -lng up with the train and trying to got In at one ot thu windows.

DECLINE OF WALKINO. the Hhiil la ItaoponilliU for Deal of It. Wo found hnt .from soveral causes the paco was always best' at the end of tho dny, says the Country House. For ono thing, tho .legs do not fall nto the proper swing for the first mile ir two, and with a big task before us wo knew better than to hurry at start ing. A strong, steady paco goes fur ther In this, aB In everything. Then we soon lighted on the fact that at the end of a hard day, If there was any doubt about lasting it out, the only ihanco was to make the going as fast hb possible Two men walking together may bo equally and utterly exhausted In body and mind, but If they hare got -l,lo1 atrMn . ""77 ,r lin rn there are miles In them still. To "top or falter at such a time Is fatal, Tho legs give way, the knees shako nd a stlffnese comes over the body "" ! shaken off with greater pain each time, until at lost It wl 1 p rove masterful altogether. Thirst pure and 'Plo I found easy to overcome by nesr practice and resolution. In my ' daya I percpired profusely and "uffered agonies In my parched throat, f rlnklng at every spring which came ,n T,ew Soon tno tendoncy t0 pcr" solratlon was mltlsated and I found the simple determination not to drink nut tho craving quite out of mind. I put tho craving quite always found It beet to drink us lit tle as I could with comfort. It Is of no uso shutting one's eyes to the fact that long-distance walking Is out of fashion and out of favor. I am afraid the bicycle has given it the coup do grace. It is natural to prefer an exercise that will show you eighty miles of country Instead of thir ty with an equal amount of fatigue. But I think and I know that the cy clist misses a great deal, "in addition to having chosen tho lens health-giving pastime. In the cultivation of sound lungs and broad shoulders the pedes trian has no rival. He gets alt the delightful smell of the country, which the cyclist cannot catch whizzing along In a swift atmosphorlc current He geto all the pretty detail of woods and fields and ditches and animal life, of which the wheelman has only a blur. Wo may legitimately turn the phraso and say that he cannot eee the- trees for the wood. Then it Is obvloua that tho man on his feet can turn aside and see tho cornera of nature and per hapa finest of all Is the subtle and to me alwayB exquisite pleasure of feel ing the proud Independence of having covered the ground by one's own un aided locomotion. The walking man Is the most self-contained man of all. In a large town there are peculiar itArrntfi to systematic walking. chlefest Is the ring of dull and aorao- imea drty suburbs which has to be p,notrated beforo the open Is reached nd actuai rjleasure commences. I al- ways make a point ot starting from outsldo, taking train to a suitable point and returning by train. If need be, from another.

A writer iu the London Church Review Bays that It Is "a regu lar custom" In San Francltco churches and in other hot parts of America, tor people to "get up and strotch them selves, and even take a turn outside, after the fashion of tho theater be tween the acts."

Last summer, whllo Judge Carpen ter was spending a vacation up In the :ountry ho had occasion to look at lorao records and his attention wm di rected to a whimsical will. Ho ar 'anged for a copy of It aa a iltorary rurloslty and it came to hand ,hls nornlng, say the Detroit Journal. The testamentary clauses of the doc imcnt aro as follows: "I, William Darling of Grantneaa, 1st. the township of , county and dis trict of , Western Canada, eBqulre, eing In sound health of body and my mind just as usual, which my friends who flatter me say Is no great shakes it the best of times, do make this my last will and testament as follows, re roklng, of course, all former wills: 'I leave tho property of CI ran tn ess md all other landed property I may lie possessed of to my sister Ellen and Betsy Darling, tho former be :ause she Is married to a minister whom (God help him) she henpecks, tho latter because she is married to nobody, nor is ehe likely to be, for sh la an old maid, and not market ripe. And also I leave to them and their heirs my share of the stock and Im plement! on the farm, provided, that tho inclosure around my brother's grave be reserved. And If cither should die without Issue, then the other la h or Its the whole. 'I leave my silver tankard to tbv eldeet son of old James, as the repre sentative of the family. I would haya left it to old James himself but would melt It down, and make teae perance medals and that would be a. tacrllege. However, I leave hlaa say big horn snuff-box.

"I leave my brother Andrew y M (liver snuff-box, as I am Informed h is rather a decent Christian, with ft wag belly and a Jolly face. "I leave Parson the snuff-box 1 got from the militia, as a small tokea of my gratitude for the service he hat done the family in taking a sister that no man of taste could have taken. "I leave John Carson a silver teapot, to the end that ho may drink tea there from to comfort him the afflictioa ot a slatternly wife. "I give my silver cup, with a aov crelgn in it, to my sister Jane, be cause sho is an old maid and pious; also, my granna's snuff-box, aa it looks accent to see an old woman taking: snuff." Cremation Growing- Popular. It is noteworthy that, though In e&ek of the American crematories moro nea than women have been cremated, tha movement abroad was practically be gun by women. Lady Dllke ot Eng land and a German woman having been cremated at Dresden. When efforts were made in the years 1873-4 on the continent of Europe, In England and in the United States in favor of h cremation of the dead Lady Rose Mary Crawshay was one of its promi nent advocates. A number of well known women in this country have expressed themselves decidedly in fa vor of cremation. Among them aro Olive Thome Miller, the late Kate Field and Rose Elisabeth Cleveland. At a public meeting Mrs. ..Balllngtoa Booth referred to the time when her body should be carried to tho crema tory. The total number of cremations in the United States from 1876, when the first crematory was established, to the close of 1895, was reported to ha 4,647. Nearly 1,000 persons were cre mated in the last year In twenty-one crematories. In tho cromatory at Fresh Pond, N. Y.. eighty-five hoys and alxty-slx girls were Incinerated. The number of man cremated In New York Is more than double the number at women. New York Tribune. Elcht-Flfteea, On a recent Sunday evening la Bel fast, Me., a young man In church look ed frequently at his watch during the sermon. Just as he was doing so tor tbe fourth or fifth time the pastor with great earnestness, wes urging the truth upon the conscience of his hear ers. "Young man," Bald he, "bow Is It with you?" Whereupon the young man with the gold repeater bawled aut, in the hearing ot nearly tha whole con gregation, "A quarter past eight."
