When Wounded, the Savage Beast Sprung Upon Him. Among the passengers who ar- rived at Plymouth, England, the other day, by the P. and O. steam- er Marmora was Lieut. G. S. An- derson, Eighteenth Hussars, of Dawlish. Lieut. Anderson, who has been attached to the Intelli- gence Department, is suffering from blood poisoning, the result of a mauling received from a lion 9. month or six weeks ago, on the borders of Somaliiand and Abys» sinia. In company with a native ser- vant, Lieut. Anderson went out for v. day’s shooting. Finding a lion at short distance, he fired, and the shot grazed the animal’s skull, slightly wounding it. The infuri- ated beast leaped upon the officer, throwing him to the ground, and hit him through the knee just as he fired a charge from his double- barreled sporting rifle through its head. The animal continued to claw and bite him. while Lieut. Anderson. fig ting for his life, clubbed the lion with the butt end of the rifle. All the while blood was streaming from the wounds of the lion, which was of unusual size. The native servant, although practically unarmed, rushed to the aid of his injured master, and at length the animal, exhausted from the loss of blood, slunk away, leav- ing Lieut. Anderson almost over- come, and in a. very precarious condition. Subsequently the lion was found dead at a little distance from the scene of the encounter. The in- jured officer was conveyed to the coast, and at Aden embarked for London, where he will be treated in a hospital.

Cardiff, Wales, possesses inits public free library an institution which claims distinction for the spirit of enterprise permeating its system of management. The latest, and perhaps the most notable, il- lustration of this is to be found 1n the establishment of a telephone inquiry department. . Mr. Farr, the chief librarian, stated recently that during the short period it has been in cxxst~ ence the department has worked very satisfactorily. The inquiries received cover a very Wide range, from questions relating to conscr1p~ tion, co~operation and boilers, to ladies’ fans, hedge-hogs, old-age pensions and tailoring. But the policy of the committee is to make the ratepayers feel that they are getting value for money, and as a consequence the number of tuna] questions asked over the telephone i“ singularly small. Where time is required for an answer to be given the inquirer is rung up later. Re- gular borrowers of books are able to find out over the telephone whe- ther a certain volume is available, and to ask for it to be kept until called for. _>Xn__ .â€" A Woman’s Sympathy Are you discouraged?
