STWEMQTH Or THE TIGER.
New This Ft ere* Brute Kills and Carries
OB Its Prey.
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

A MIND OF HIS OWN.
The Manntr of Man That Mr. Itligly

"I like a man with a mind of his
own," said Mr. Stiggly. "Right or
wrong, I like a man who knows
what he thinks and who is not
afraid to speak it. I hate a man
who doesn't know what he thinks or
who is afraid to say what he does
think.
"Now, there's Jones. I say to
Jones on a lowery morning:
'"What do you think, Jonesy.
Think I'd better take an umbrella?'
"And Jones says:
" Take an umbrella ? Why, I
within twenty-two minutes ittl be
raining blue, green and purple
pitchforks, and if you haven't got
a boiler iron umbrella with I beam
ribs you'll be speared to death and
then drowned. Sure you want an
umbrella!' <
"Or suppose it had happened to
be Robinson I asked, another man
who knows what he thinks, and
Robinson says:
"Umbrella! Foolish! In twenty
minutes it'll be as clear as a bell.
All blue sky.'
"Now, of course Jones and Robinson
couldn't both be right, but I

" 'Ye-es, I suppose it would be

"Snibbly doesn't know what he

what he thinks he doesn't say it
He sides in with me. He thinks it
would be safer!

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. '

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
