I have taken considerable trouble ? - - ? mi a to find out how tigers mil urge game, writes an assistant comptroller of forests at Perth. Some time ago I was asked to come and see a fall grown bullock that had been killed bJ a tiger. On examining it I found 4he animal had its neck broken, and there were claw marks on the nose and shoulder and nowhere else. There was no doubt that the tiger had jumped at the bull and landed on the shoulder, and when the bull turned his head to gore the tiger he must have put his claw out and with a sudden jerk broken the neck. On another occasion I went to see a young buffalo which had been killed by a tiger and found the same thing had happened. There were similar marks on the nose and also on the near shoulder, which clearly indicated that this animal had been killed in the same way. Malays who have actually seen a tiger killing a buffalo told me they 6aw the same thing happen; also that in dragging off a heavy carcass, such as buffalo or bull, he gets most of the weight across his shoulder. This must be fairly correct, as I have often followed a kill, and the marks left indicated that only a portion of the animal was trailing along the ground. I have known a full grown bull which ten men would not move dragged two miles by a tiger in a heavy jungle, where roots of trees and swamp had to be gone through. In no case have 1 seen the pug marks facing the wrong way except when stopping to feed, which proves he must carry a portion of the animal over his * it. sno uiuer. The old idea of a ti^rer killing large game by a blow from his paw is nonsense. Besides, in this county a tiger never faces his prey, but attacks him on the flank, unless charged. Another curious fact that may seem very like a fairy tale is I t$ttt a tiger does not seem to mind k a 'small lamb being tied over a kill ah?ut ten feet high, but will come and feed. I have known three occasions when this has been tried, and each time a tiger has come to feed upon the carcass. ?: London ? Field. Are you troubled with piles?

"I like the man with a mind of his own, and he is everywhere the man that makes the wheels go around."?Washington Post An Old Story of Niagara. A hundred yards above the brink of the American fall a rock ten feet square projects for a foot above the water in midstream. One morning IX- * L.t.'i i._ I J me innauiuinis awose ana saw a man sitting on it. The noise of the rapids prevented verbal communication. They did not, do not and never will know how he got there. He stayed there thirty-six hours. The people telegraphed to Buffalo, j and the railway company sent one \ excursion train after another for , thirty-six hours to 6ee the man on the rock. They painted signs and ; stuck them up for the man to read,' saying, "We will save you." Two hundred yards above there is a bridge. From this by ropes they i floated rafts with provisions to him. 1 At the end of his stay a big one came for him to get on. What they were going to do with him if they got him in this seething rapid is not known. He tried and failed and went over the fail, and that is all. ' ?Blackwood's Magazine. " I , I Represenative WILLIAM D. BRYAN. CRAB CLAWS. A Sevillu Tidbit, Eaton More For Fun Than For Sustenance. Visitors in Seville see women carrying baskets full of crabs' claws, says a writer in the Paris Temps. The claws are cooked and people nibble at them more for fun than for sustenance, just as the Russians nibble sunflower seeds. But what is this crustacean? What becomes of the rest of him, especially if he is a crawfish, of his tail? As a matter of fact the crawfish has no part in the business. The carrasquenas, as the claws are call cd, are taken from a salt water crab, the Gelasimus tangeri, which lives along the shores of Morocco, Spain and Portugal. Each little crab, with his one little wife, haa a little cave for a home, and, adopting the Arab estimate of the other sex, he usually keeps his wife shut up inside the cave, meanwhile staying about the threshold himself and ' making a brave show with his big . claws. When the tide runs out the crab fishers prowl along the beach looking for crab holes. Either the crab is stalking up and down seeking what he may devour, and thus showing whether he has fine claws, or he is still at home, and the size ^ of his doorway indicates the size of the householder. In the one case the fisherman cuts off his retreat br blocking his front door with mud. In the other case he digs him out. Anyway, he deprives him of his j pinchers and sets him at liberty? to grow some more. Eight here appears the happiest I feature of the whole affair, for the j pinchers are not torn away from the crab at ail. instead ne presents them to the fisherman?perhaps < even with his compliments. It is a j fact easily demonstrable that the crab can detach his claw by a mus- : cnlar effort, thus making no hemorrhage, bnt leaving the stump in such condition that a new claw is soon grown. The fishermen simply d take Mr. Crab by the hand, whereupon he lets go, leaves the claw with them and runs off home with- = out it And as the claw is no longer a of any use to him or to anybody J else in the water and as it is salable and edible, the fisherman naturally takes it home and sells it j Vain* of Laan Baoon. Lean bacon has a unique value in the dietary. It furnishes, ac- 3 cording to a report of the United States department of agriculture, as mueh digestible muscle forming food as other meats and nearly twice as much fat, making the total nutrients and available energy i derived from bacon much larger than from other meats. Bacon fat is easily digested, and when combined with other foods it appears ( to exert a favorable mechanical ac- e tion upon digestion. Over 96 per cent of the fat of bacon is digested s and absorbed by the body, and lean J bacon, at the same and even a high- c er price a pound, is a cheaper food than other meats. A fact made clear is that the fat increases the digestibility of other foods. For instance, fat meat baked with beans makes the beans more digestible than without the fat. What Ha Raally Maant. Little Harold had been directed by the teacher to write the word i "folly." "I can't," said Harold, "'cause " my pencil's busted." "Why, Harold, what did you say was wrong with your pencil ?" "It's busted." "Dear me! Children, can any of you tell what Harold means? I'm sure he hasn't used the right word." Up went the hand of little Marjoric. "Ah, Marjorie, dear, I thought you would know. What doe3 Harold mean?" "He meanth that hith penthil ith buthticated." ? Chicago RecordHerald. Husbands. A woman furnishes the following essay on husbands: "There are three kinds of husbands?the young husbands, who make us unhappy because we are so jealous of them; the middle aged husbands, who break our hearts because they would rather make money or play golf than devote any attention to us, and the old husbands, who sicken us with their silly objections whenever we turn to look at younger xnen."?Chicago Tribune. Scared His Speech Back. A remarkable case of the recov- J en* of speech and hearing is report ed in the London Lancet from the I canton of Ticino, in Switzerland. 1 An Italian, aged forty-one years, who five years ago became a deaf j mute in consequence of a serious disease, was startled by the sudden appearance of a runaway horse. As . he jumped aside to avoid the animal he uttered a loud scream and after ( it had gone by found that he was j able to talk and hear. y ?f ^ xj^|^j v^H^'r.' ^MgEHSg ApjM|Ev< H ^piyMn ||^^^pHH ^jfll 1B| JB KB Rbpbesextativk W.
