his teeth. Tho tiger could not shake him
off, and it was with great difficulty that
we took the baboon out of the cage. He
sliced the tiger by the neck through the
bars, and vented his rage by biting them.
l never made the experiment again. i
have also found it very difficult to rear
tigers OF different ages together. 1t has
been done sometimes, but they have to
be separated at feeding time Last year
four of one litter were taken together to
America, and i heard afterward that
four others had been put with them, the
first time that eight tigers have been
together in one cage. In 1866 lady of
Calcutta gave me two very small tigers:
they were nine months old, but only nine
inches high they arrived safely in Lon
don, after a four months voyage, but
did not grow. Nobody cared to have
these monstrosities, and after had kept
them till winter they both died.
| had great difficulty in getting tigers
between the years 1865 and 1867, as the
Indian jewellers would give five or six
rupe es apiece for the claws, which were
used as ornaments. The shikarees, there
fore, found it answer better to shoot
tigers than to capture them A good
skin Is worth two or three times as much
in India rs it is in Europe. You may
get from 100 to $50 rupees for hand
somely-marked skin. There is now but
little demand for living tigers, SO that
shikarees devote themselves chiefly to
killing them. And, although hundreds
are killed every year, there is still an i'm
mense number of them. 1t is almost in
credible how many human beings are
devoured by them. 4 tiger generally
only becomes a man-eater when other
food fails; but when he has once taken
TO killing men he keeps to it. i believe
that all the tigers in Singapore are man.
eaters; for there is no other food there
for them. 1t has been proved that one
Chinese woOdcutter disappears on an
average every day. / have seen many
tigers from Singapore, old and young
but they were none of them tame.
At Madras, on board steamer,
my assistant was frightened out of
his berth one night by tiger having
gnawed through the roof of his cabin
This was one from Singapore. Before
the opening of the Suez Canal there was
a great difficulty about the transport of
tigers. l once had seven tigers on board
q ship and twenty-five oxen for food, of
which seventeen died in one week of a
pestilence The tigers had to content
themselves with two pounds of meat per
day until more could be procured at
Cape Town.

JANE.

SHE came along tho little lane,
Where all the bushes dripped with rain
And robins sung and sung again,
As IL with sudden, sheer delight
For such q world SO fresh aud bright
To swing and sing In day and night
But. coming down the little lane,
She did not heed the robins strain
Nor feel the sunshine after rain
A little face with two brown eyes,
A little form of slender size,
A little head not very wise,
A little heart to match the head,
\ foolish little heart that bled
Al every foolish word was said.
So. coming down the little lane
l see her now, my little Jane
Her foolish heart with foolish pain
Was aching, aching In her breast,
And all her pretty golden crest
Was dropping as If sore opprest.
And something too Of anger's trace
Was on the flushed and frowning face
And in the footsteps quickened pace
So swift she slept 60 low she leant,
Her pretty head Oh thought intent,
She scarcely saw the way she went,
Nor saw the long, slim shadow fall
Across the little, low stone-wall
A. some one rose mp slim and tall
Rose mp and came to meet her there;
A youth. with something in his air
That Al glance revealed his share
In all the foolish. girlish pain.
This grief and anger and disdain,
That rent The heart Of little Jane.
With hastier steps than hers he came
And IN a moment called her name;
And In q moment, red flame
She blushed and blushed, and in her eyes
A sudden son and shy surprise
Did suddenly and softly rise.
"what, your" she cried; :. thought-they
said
Then stopped and blushed a deeper red
And lifted up her dropping head,
Shook back her lovely falling hair
And arched her neck, aud strove to wear
A nonchaiant and scornful air.
A moment thus they held apart.
With lovers love and lovers art.
Then swift he caught her to his heart
What pleasure then wa. born of pain,
What sunshine AFTER cloud and rain
As they forgAye and kissed againi
Twas April then; he talked of May
And planned therein \ wedding-day;
She blushed but scarcely said him nay.
What pleasure now Is mixed with pain
As, looking down the little lane,
A RrAybeard grown, see again
Through twenty Aprils' rain and mist
The little sweetheart that kissed,
The little bride my folly missed!

A Sharp Trick by an Insane Woman.

A PRETTY sharp trick was played on
Wednesday by an insane woman who
was being conveyed from Austin, Tex,
to this city. The woman in question is a
widow, and has been an inmate of an
asylum in Texas for year and a half.
Her family desired to remove her to the
Missouri State Insane Asylum, and, after
making arrangements for the transfer,
placed her under the charge of an officer
and her brother, who induced her to be-
lieve that they were taking her home:
but it seems that when the train arrived
at Hampstead and stopped to permit the
passengers to change cars the widow
recognized the place and at once began
an open war against them. She was as
sured then that they were only going 10
St. Louis on a visit, and finally became
reconciled. A sleeping-car was secured,
and.bOth officer and brother, feeling per-
fectly sure that she would not renew her
trouble, INDUCED in soothing nap. On
| awakening they found her safe and
sound in her berth, and everything went
on smoothly until the train arrived at
the Pacific depot, in this city. When
the train had stopped the officer and the
brother of the woman alighted and
were ut once arrested by two of the ST.
Louis detective force, one of whom
| asked the woman: Are these the mem"
She replied: Yes, they are the ruff
| fans" and the whole party was at once
marched to the Four Courts and into the
august presence of Chief Harrigan. The
! Texas officer here produced his papers,
and soon satisfied the Chief that the
woman was insane, but was in a mystery
as to the reason for his arrest until the
circumstances were related by the Chief.
1t seems that while the officer and the
woman's brother were enjoying their
nap the woman, with the quick wit of
| the insane, told the conductor privately
that she had been kidnapped by them,
and requested him to telegraph to the
Chief of Police here to have them ar
rested on their arrival. That official COM
piled with her request as soon as the
nearest telegraph station was reached,
and, of course, it was i'll obedience to

this demand that the detectives were de-
tailed in the case.
The woman is now in the custody of
the managers of the State Asylum for the
Insane. 1t is said she WAS at one time u
reigning belle in Austin, and when in
sound mind possessed brilliant intellect

A PRovIDENTIAL MAN.-This title now
justly belongs to physician who has
added to the list of medicines a new rem
edy, which appears to include all that is
most valuable in the old pharmacopGia.
and not to include any of the drawbacks
with which the called specifics of the
Faculty are chargeahle. The Providen-
tial man is DIR. JOSEPH WALKER, of Cali
fornia, whose VINEGAR BITTERs has
achieved, in the short space of two
years, degree of popularity never be-
fore attained by any advertised prepara-
ton in this country. We have too much
confidence in the shrewdness of the
American people to suppose that this
sudden and surprising celebrity is the
outgrowth of a delusion. Indeed, we
have reason to know that it is founded
on innumerable and well authenticated
cures of almost all the bodily ills that
flesh is heir to. Not the least among the
merits of the famous Tonic and Restora-
tive is its entire freedom from alcohol, as
well as from all mineral drugs. 1t is
composed exclusively of rare vegetable
extracts. IL
