No young lady can be too we'll instruct

society she occupies, she needs practi-
cal knowledge of household duties. She
may be placed5i in saoh circumstances
that it will not be necessary for her to
perform much domestic hbor; but on
this account she needs no less knowledge
than if she was obliged to preside over

Mothers are frequently so particular

population of the United States was

by the Census Bureau that in 1870 the
country would contain 42,328, ,432, in
1880 population of 81, ,450,241, in 1890

splendid estate at Put-in-Bay Islands.
He invited large number of clergymen
to visit him and spend few weeks in
boating, fishing, and other recreations.
He did not invite fashionable clergymen
with large salaries and great fame. He
selected lowly ministers-men who exc
out scanty livelihood on starvation So.
laries, agents of benevolent societies on
poor pay, and city missionaries who can
not travel. and who have no money to
spend at fashionable watering places.
Mr.. Cooke paid all the expenses of trans-
portation, made these clerical gentlemen
very happy, and put money into their
purses when they left.

upset the cage of the Bengal tiger, break

such q manner as to allow the animal to
escape. To run to The hotel, awaken the
elephant driver, aud summon all hands,
was the work ST d moment. The elephant
was promptly fettered, and search for
the traant tiger COMMENCED. None bit
two of the most resolute of the showmen
would lead in the search, the remainder
following at a respectful distance, and in
the greatest trepidation. The tiger was
not long in making known his where
abouts; for the bleating of calf, in pain
and terror, indicated that his royal high
ness was satiating his gluttonous appetite
on live veal. The leading spirits of the
hunt approached, and, by the aid of their
torches, discovered that the tiger had
stricken down yearling heifer, and was
crouched over the dying animal, greedi-
ly1lapping the blood which spurted from
o large wound in its neck. Mr.. Glenn.
King, the keeper of the tiger, procured
o rope, and making O moose in the form
of lariat, assembled by ladder from
the outside of the shed to window,
from whence he passed to the rafters i'm
mediately over the tiger. He then gave
loud shout, which caused the tiger to
look upward, giving Mr.. King On oppor-
tunity to throw lariat over the animal 8
head, which feat he dextrously accom-
plished. Drawing his rope taut, he made
it fast to beam, and another rope was
passed to him, with which he succeeded
in lassoing the tiger in the same manner
as before. Mr.. King then threw the end
of the rope to party Of men near the
entrance to the shed, and when they had
secured it, he threw the end of the other
rope to another party, and the two lines
were at once stretched, each party walk
ing in an opposite direction. When the
tiger would make rush at one group of
his captors, the others would haul taut
on their line, and thus prevent him from
doing any mischief. After much exer-
ton, and several ludicrous stampedes
from the by-standers. he was dragged
back to his cage, which had, in the mean
time, been repaired. When he came in
view Of the den, he bounded in of his
own accord; but the attendants, in their
haste to secure him, closed the iron door
too suddenly, and severed about foot
