From the Sudan comes the report of a fierce fight between a wounded lion and a government engineer, which ended, hi the death of the tetter, an Englishman named C. H. Salmon. Salmon,- while on board the steamer Metemmah, between Fashoda and Melut, on the White Nile, discovered a lion among the bushes on the shore. Taking a gun, he went, ashore asking those on board not to follow him. He shot twice at the lion, one bullet tak ing effect hi the lion's shoulder and the other in the abdomen. After a struggle of a few -minutes, which seemed to be bis death agony, the lion lay motionless. Salmon approached aad the lion pounced upon him, and threw him to the ground and began to maul him. The engineer held the lion's neck and endeavored to draw his knife, but before he succeeded the lion had bitten bis thigh and crushed his toes. He gave the beast a stab In the eyes.' This infuriated the animal, which snapped at the man's hand, bad ly lacerating and smashing It The pain of the knife thrust, however, was too much for the animal and he start ed to retreat. The crew of the steamer now arrived upon the scene. They killed the exhausted Hon with out much difficulty aad carried the unfortunate hunter to the boat, which then sailed with all 'possible speed to. Fashoda, where he waa taken to the hospital and received medical attention, only to expire of his Injuries when removed to Khartum. "Witch's Bridle."

Marienbad, whither King Edward goes for his annual "cure,' was al most unknown a century ago. .It waa virtually discovered by Dr. Nehr, who published a booklet in 1813 describing the marvelous results upon patients of his who had been drinking the watera. But Dr. Nehr recommended that all Invalids repairing to Marienbad should take their beds with them, because no accommodation whatever was then provided In' such a sequestered spot. .Matters had not much Improved In 1820, when Goethe visited Marienbad and drank the waters, for he wrote to a friend: T feel as' If I were In the American solitudes, where the forests are cut down to build up a city within three years." Nearly 20,000 valetudi narians now annually make pilgrimage to Marienbad. Dundee Advertiser. First Universal Language. One of the earliest and most confi dent attempts to establish a universal language on the lines of the modern Esperanto was that of Sir Thomas Urquhart, who In 1653 Issued his 'in troduction to a universal language which for variety of diction In each part of speech snrmounteth all the languages of the world. An expectant public was bidden to look out for sub sequent volumes, but they never ar rived. Bishop WllUnsf who flourished about the same period, had hla own ideas about a universal language, but they did not materialise. He waa an optimist of the first degree, and was firmly convinced that It would be pos sible to communicate with the moon by means of flying machines. Net Charlie's Gum.

Chewing Gum Justified. Persistent gum chewers will prob ably feel that all their facial energy has not been wasted if it has pro longed the production of chewing gum until some real, use has been discov ered for that article. Two better uses have been found for it than merely as an object to distort the face in idle ness. One use Is as a temporary solder to stop sudden leaks until the tinsmith can remedy them. The other Is as a preventive of seasickness. One traveler declares she crossed the tur bulent English channel well and in. her right mind solely as a result of taking a little pepsin gum and chewing It In private. , Terse. and Truthful. A despairing debt collector decided the other day to corner his quarry at the bar of the Hoffman house In the presence of a number of his friends, 'thinking that by this ruse he would so embarrrass his man that he would either get his money In rage or a promise In mortification, says the New York Times. Advancing gently he tapped 'the debtor on the shoulder and said: "Pardon me, Mr. . When are you going to pay that small amount you owe my firm?" The debtor spun around on his heel and glared. "I'm no prophet!" he roared. The debt col lector retired amid roars of laughter. Not Run by sn Irishman.
