The Way -the Sleek Brute Impresbed an Excited Frenchman. Tigers are impressive creatures, es pecially when one meets thc-;n in the forest. George Maxwell writes of them: "There is little doubt that al most every one has a peculiar sensa tion of the almost godlike beauty, pow er, activity and strength of a tiger. A tiger will overawe and make conscious of his inferiority a man who would be unaffected by the bulk of an elephant The feeling is, however, elusive of de seription, and I can perhaps best ex plain it in the words of a most charm ing French gentleman who was once manager of a great tin mining com pany in Perak. We had just finished lunch when he entered In a state of tremendous excitement. Walking alone and unarmed along an unfrequented bridle path through the forest, he had walked almost on to a tiger. "He gave us a most vivid narrative of the encounter-how the tiger had been lying down concealed In some long lalang grass beside the path; how he was within ten yards of it before lhe saw it; how then it rose and looked at him; how it yawned at him; how it then walked slowly across the path In front of him and then stopped. and looked at him, again yawning, and how it then deliberately walked away into the forest, whose depths finally hid it from view. "Some one asked the Frenchman whether it was a big tiger. He an swered: 'Well, messieurs, I cannot say if he is a big tiger. My eyes see that he is big, but I cannot say how big I see him to be. and if I say how big it is perhaps that I tel) you a lie. But I can tell you, messieurs, how big I feel him to be, and I can tell you the truth. When he is standing there In front of me I tell you thatj feel he is not less than thir-r-ty feet high.' "-Exchange. THE GROWTH OF TROUT. Age, Food and Temperature Seem to Have No Bearing on size. The Salvelinus fontinalls, which is currently but inaccurately called brook trout, was supposed for many years to be a small fish. Agassiz was largely instrumental In exploding this fallacy. It is not an uncommon thing for an angler with ordinary luck to get a six or seven pound trout of this variety. It is known that a trout may grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds. There is, however, great difficulty in account in- for its variation in size. In northeastern Canada there are large streams and lakes in which only fingerlings have ever been found. In the immediate vicinity of such water three and :our pound trout are quite common, and seven and eIght pounders are not phenomenal. In all these wa ters crustacea do not abound; there are no small fish of any kind except small itrout. All the fish are pure fly feeders. At some places, It is true, frogs abound, but, taken as a whole, the difference in food sup)p!y is not an adequate expla nation for the difference in growth. There is no substantial difference in the waters as to temperature, size, ori gin and course. Climatic conditions are the same. The small trout taken to Ivirgin Lakes in which there are no fish have sormetimes grown to a great size, have so:netimes remained small and soeie have not thriven. The an ;ier-svwho haunt these waters have not yet found a satisfactory explanation of this peculIar condition of thiags. It is one or the mysteries which lend fascination to the art. "You never can tell what is going to happen when you go fishing."-St. Paul Dispatch. Country Libraries. The usefulness of urban libraries has been p)roved up to the hilt, but the question arises why similar advantages can no tbe supplied in rural districts. As a matter of fact, they are more needed in the country than in the towns. The dullness of country life is constantly bewailed, and it can be readily believed that a young agricul tural laborer or a young woman brought up in the country would be very glad to have the epance of the wide choice of books whkh their cous ins in town enjoy.-Bristol Press. A New York Jewveler. There had been a difference of opin ion as to whether the bill had been paid. It resulted in favor of the cus tomer, and the collector from the jew elry establishment on Fifth avenue called to apologize. "Perhaps you will be willing to pardon the mistake," he said, "if you knew how many accounts we have on our books. There are G0, 000 of them, and we are sometimes likely therefore to make a mistake."
