It was the most OR years Frank Leyburn has been known as the tiger slayer of Amoy. There is not a village along the eoast of China, no matter how remote from the great centers of population, to which his fame boa not extended. With him the killing of the great man caters who infest the jungles is looked upon as a pastime, and he has shot them under almost all imaginable circumstances Be arrived in this city on tho steamer Gaelic, en route for London, and it waa early in the forenoon that he strode into the California hotel. Be wrote his name in big bold letters across the psge of the register, and lost no time in plunging into a bath* tab. Later he emerged from his se clusion, looking ruddy and muscular. Be looked more like the ordinary globe-trotter than a slayer of tigers Whose name la known throughout the Orient. In appearance ho is tall and robust, with closely trimmed white beard and keen gray eyes. A long loose-fitting sack coat of gray tweed waa buttoned about him, and a brown derby bat was tilted back far enough upon his head to show that ho is grow ing slightly bald. His feet were in cased in shoes of russet leather, and ho carried in hit hand a heavy esue, which he dung to tenaciously as ho strode rapidly along. “Oh, yea,” he said, in a gruff tone, when asked about his experiences os a tiger hunter, "I have bagged a good many of the beasts in ntf day, but there is nothing remarkable about that- With to, don’t you know, it is merely a pas time, and wo bant tbo tigers for the sport there is in it Why, bless my sonl, I can see no reason why anyone should care to hear about tiger hunt ing. With ns it is ordinary sport, just as deer stalking is in America. “After all," he continued, os ho grasped his cane more firmly and planted his feet very wide apart, "tho tigers of Chins are not nearly os fero- ciouh os those of India, but they give a good deal of trouble to the natives at times. When one of them gets a taito of human blood ho at once becomes fe rocious, and la never satisfied with any other diet They become transformed into what are known as man eaters, •nd they hunt human beings os a cat does mice. "Take a big man cater, for instance, and he is pretty sure to make his lair in a jungle close to a native village, avoiding tho larger towns, and always on the alert to make a victim of some lackless humsn being who may fall in bisway. It is his habit to lark about the outskirts of the settlement, con cealed in the edges of the jangle, and await his opportunity to seize a victim. Moonlight nights scit him best At sueh a time he is extremely vigilant Be prowls about until he sees some be lated straggler in the streets. This is the opportunity for which he has wait ed for hours, perhaps for days. There Is the flash of a heavy body in the moonlight, a cry of terror, a brief straggle and tbo man eater is off for his lair in the jangle, bearing tho help less body of a human being in bis mas sive juwa Months later, it may be., the bonea ore found in the dense under- growth. “When I went to China twenty yearn ago I had already some experience iu hunting big game, and I wanted to kill a tlgec. One d.;y while iu the cu.iUi ing house of our firm at Amoy two ua tlvcs catnu in in an excited frame o< mind to tell that a man had been car ried off from a neighboring village the night before by a man enter. This was Just the opportunity I had V-een welting for. Taking out a heavy ex press rifle which I had brought from London with me. 1 took the two no- lives to net sx guides and started out. On renching the villa-re 1 found every- thing In an uproar. The natives, who are timid, were pnralyaed with fear, and scarcely dared to venture out of their housrs unless to the middle of the 4*v “I hnd rlrondy learned something •liont the habits of Hie man ea*er ana knew just how to go at it. From in quiry among the natives I ascertained the exact location of tbc lair of tbc tiger, and for a small oomponsation 1 •ucccedcd in securing the services of ■ coolie to guide mo to tho place. "Starting late in the afternoon, we mode onr way slowly through the jungle, uud just about dusk reached the spot Nov/, tho night Is the 1-cst time to bag a man eater, for ha is then sslt-cp, and may lie shot before he is uronsed. Knowing this I had brought With me a bull's-eye lantern. I’efove Sight had set in fully 1 got everything in readiness and waited until it grew pitch dark. Having in the meantime located the exact position of the lair, 1 left my guide, who, by this time, was ' almost terror-stricken, behind me, and on my hands and knees crept through the jungle. ' tly tho cautious use of my lantern I found the lair. Turning on the light, I was a little startled to dis favor the huge lienst curled up and sound asleep. His head was resting on his paws and squarely facing me. As I prepared to level my rifle at him ho stirred uneasily. Turning the light full upon him, ho raised his head, but before h« was thoroughly aroused I sent n ball from my rifle crashing through his br.-dn Hy good fortune I bod struck him squarely between the eyes. There was a feast of rejoicing lit the village when «returned with the •kin. “Just before I left China on my present trip I struck a man enter who proved to be a tough customer. Ho was an old fellow and had a record of ■boat twenty victims. They scut for mo and I went after him. I hnd with me u d oublo ’ l,arrc,e 'J r ‘ flo largo caliber. I found no difficulty la gracing him to his loir, but he gave roc * narrow call before I succeeded in fin ishing him. Tho trouble was that -when I found him ho was awake and •ferocious apparently from tho effects .of hunger. 1 had shot so many that I thought nothing of it and gave my tiger one barret out of my gnn.

THE PERSONS WHO WORK FOR PLEASURE. AND NOTORIETY. RECALLING A MAILED t.FTTFR. Tho Itelgn of the Amateur and flow It Is AfToctlng the Various Professions In Wliloh Mankind Is Trying to Ksrn a Llv-. tag—A Metropolitan View. The other day a company of American artists srnted at the cheap bnt filling re fection of Grnyero cheese ami tho heer of tho country amused itself by discuss ing tho serious want of patronage from which American art is just now suffer ing. "I tell you,” cried a young painter of great talent, “that tho professional art ist iu this country is worse off than over. Thorn was n I (mo some l.> nr 20 years ago when his prospects looked bright and liis outlook cheerful Bat today he wastes all his timo nnd energy on pot boiling, mid oven his pot boilers have to go ut it sacrifice.” "Thtro arc too many of us,” quoth one of his hearers. “Tho supply ex ceeds tho demand, and wo are simply paying, ns iu other walks of life, for tho crime of overproduction.* “There nro not too many of ns," re lated tho first speaker. “It’s tho infer nal amateurs who are doing work al most as good os ours, nnd who are un derselling us. It is the reigu of tho am ateurs which lias taken all tho gilt off I ho gingerbread of the professional." True, absolutely true, in almost every highway and byway of modern industry. The omajeur is rapidly displacing the professional, to liis own slight—somo- Htucs imperceptible benefit, and always to tbo other’s injury. When ono stops to consider this truism, ono is fairly stunned by tho magnitude sind quantity of the i 'Astral ions which prove i t. Take, for instance, tho field to which tho dis cussion tvbovo quoted has relation. Tho woods nro full of amateur “artists.” Hardly a family now exists hut has an “artistic" son or daughter who neces sarily babbles tho jargon of ..the' croft and spoils more canvas nnd wastes more paint in a week than most professional artists can afford in a year. Not only do their execrable composi tions degrade tbc standard of art, they do worse nnd more material harm by making values ridiculously cheap. Glad to get anything at all—half tho cost sometimes of the material they use. Tho amateur painters of New York alone conslituto unconsciously a guild which practically starves out tho profession. And t he worst of it is that tho amateur's work is nothing like ns conspicuously bad in ail instances as it used to he. Sketchy nnd thin ns tho best of it may be. it certainly complies with tho ele mentary rules of art, nnd lie must in deed bo a bold critic who, cotnimriug it with tho efforts of trained imd exitert professionals, should unhesitatingly pro nounce it without exception rot uud rub bish. Tito amateur actor and the amateur actress havo inflicted incalculable injur)' on what calls itself specifically the pro fession. Itisim oiteu nj rcl. for exam ple, that the once profitable city of Brooklyn lias been made a positively "bad show town,” as llio phrase goes, by tho number and audacity of its amateurs During tho season they undertake per formances of tho severest professional character with a prodigality of energy and expenditure almost amounting to profligate extravagance wltich utterly eclipses tho productions of the regular theaters. In fact, tho Brooklyn amateurs havo all bnt destroyed tho professional drama in that city. Again, tho concert rooms of Now York fairly swarm with unpaid vocalists who acquit themselves iu many instances quite ns well as their professional sisters and brothers, and there are already so many amateur instrumentalists in this city eager to play iu public who havo no urgent i>ecnniiiry need to do so that it is doubtful if the Musical Protective union dare order another general strike here, so enormous would ho the rush of fairly competent amateur fiddlers and others to take the places of tho strikers. Rising higher iu tho social world, we find howling swells like Snffcm Tailor basing their reputations entirely on their knack of driving four-in-hands cn ama teur, so that tho amateur couchmau has become really an important public char acter nnd worthy of incessant nolico. Tho nmatcur wing shot is another so cial lion. Compared with tho feats of tho plain, uncelebrated every day pot hunters of Maryland and Pennsylvania, tho performances niicld of George Work and Edgar Murphy and De Forrest Mau rice and tho rest of them seem ixwitively puerile. Bnt none t'jo less are these lat ter knights of tho triggej exalted and ex tolled by tho newspapers as marvels of skill and vaunted among tho possessions of which we ought all to bo enthusiastic ally proud. For arc they not amateurs? At tho present rate of development ono cannot bo certain of tho ultimate limit of amateur expansion. Wo shall, beyond doubt, havo amateur surgeons, amateur lawyers, amateur journalists, amateur barbers, amateur tailors, ama teur plumbers, amateur icemen, oven amateur day laborers, perhaps. Cur streets will ho patrolled by amateur po licemen, our conflagrations extinguished by amateur firemen. And who can toll when the amateur will have no profonud- ly exhausted tho honest occupations that he will havo to become mi amateur crim inal? Then shall wo havo onr amateur bur glars, our amateur pickpockets, our am ateur highwaymen, our amateur murder ers. The amateur shoplifter is already a formidable extant fact. What on earth is there in our social code to make the amateur homicide and tho amateur river pirate impossible? Yes, i’ faith, this is tho reign of tho amateur with a vengeance.—Archibald Gordon in New York Recorder. The Trouble IVItT) tho Water. Mistress—What makes your potatoes so soggy?

To recall a letter Dnco moiled is ol- moet us (liilicuit a task a j to take back tin assertion once uttered. The sender must appear at the postoffice and is handed a blank to fill out. In this ho imist state when and where ho mailed the letter, how it was ad dressed, must describe the euvoloi*, itcto tho amount of postage prepaid 'Out testify “that tho above men tioned letter was written by me or by my, authority, and I desire to re call it for tho following reason,” and then state tho reason, which is usual ly, “Mailed by mistake.” He must then sign liis name so that the writing may bo compared with that on tho letter and sign a receipt If tho address cannot be shown to 1)0 in his handwriting or is printed or typewritten, ho must de scribe some peculiarities of the en velope sufficient to identify it. If ho is unable to do this, tho letter is not released unless tho postmaster knows tho applicant ami is satisfied concerning his good intentions. If ho is satisfied, ho asks for a state ment concerning tho contents, and tho applicant is then obliged to open tho letter nnd read portions of it in tho postmaster's presence to prove that it is tho ono described^ If tho letter has been sent away, tho process of i-ccalling it is still inoro difficult. A similar blank has to bo filled out and a minute descrip tion telegraphed at the sender’s ex pense to tho postmaster at the office of its destination. If discovered in time, tho letter is then intercepted and sent to the department at Wash ington with n statomeut of the case. Why should any ono want to recall a letter so much as to tako all this trouble? Well, there was one case at tho local office recently where a valuable deed was mailed, and tho Gender received information that sat isfied him that tho sale should not bo made. Iu another case an im portant contract was sent and infor mation received immediately after made it imperative that it should bo revoked. —Spriu gfield Ropubl ican. Tiio Only THU* of Ith Kind.
