Full-grown tigcs arc very seldom
captured, says Mr.. Jamrach, of Lon
don, because the transport Of them is
very costly, and the fancies in Europe
do not like them. Largo tigers fresh
from the jungle cannot be tanned; they
bite the wooden parts Of their cages,
sit in the corner and growl, and do
not show themselves much. They got
swcllings on their hind legs from lying
and squatting so muqh the back gets
bent, and the animal loses his good
looks. gave nlyi sbikarecs strict
orders TO catch tigers from four to six
months old. When . pair of tigers
have made lair, the khikaree knows
pretty well when t'n young ones are
expected He bidss dis time, and at
length observes that the male goes out
alone. He then lies in wait for him,
and before the father has time to say,
good morning to his young one, he is
generally killed, his head severed from
his body and taken to the kutcherec
where government official pays the
shikareo 80 rupees for it. The female
and her cubs are then carefully watch
ed. When the shikaree knows that
the young ones can do without their
mother, which he discovers by her in
difference, she is generally killed, and
the young ones are easily caught, as
they mostly keep by the body of their
mother and cry. Her head, like that
of her lord, is taken to the kutcheree,
where so rupees are again paid, and
the young ones are taken to Calcutta.
The journey on foot generally occupies
two or three months The change Of

Tigers when they are not hungry are
frightened at the least noise. Tho
goat was bleating necessarily, and
soon Madam Tigress appeared with
three young ones no bigger than hares.
We kept perfectly quiet and in few
minutes heard great crash, and
Peru, my boy, ran to us, exclaiming,

pit, dying,) We FASTENED to the spot,
and sure enough there was the tigress;
she had fallen exactly upon the arrow,
the point Of which was a sharp bayo-
net, and all her struggles only made IT
run further into her She was dead in
about twenty minutes. We took the
cubs to the house, where remained
for the night The next morning they
were put into an empty brandy cask,
and set off with them to Calcutta,
where arrived in the evening and

laughed at me for having returned so
soon, and said, Dinner is just over

TO the great astonishment Of the com.

reared them all and brought them to
