THE GOLYSOS OAK.

This wonderful tree, which oversprnad
ASP square yards of ground, grew on tue
estate from which it takes its name,
about four miles from Newport, in the
County of Monmouth, England. Tue
diameter OF the main trunk was 8 feet 6
inches, from which grew, exclusive Of
dead limbs, twelve branches, the largest
of which contained 472 ieet OF timber,
and the whole product of this enormous
oak was 2,4!6 feet. lis bark, which
round the trunk measured 3 inches in
thickness, was estimated at 6 tons.
From the rings in the butt it was cacu.
lated that the tree had been growing up
ward OF 400 years, and, from many of its
lateral branches being dead and broken
off, it is presumed 1T must have stood
after it hau attained its maturity little
short OF century. 1t was purchased by
the late Mr.. Thomas Harrison, many
years purveyor of Plymouth Dockyard
and Dean Forest, in the year 1910, for
100 guineas, and when converted its
total product was valued at nearly 460O

NOT PREPARED. The "Drawer," in
the November Aarper, has this from the
very down Easternmost section OF our
precious country:
Its customary with the students in
our college to say "Not prepared" when
called upon to recite off cult and not
well-memorized passage. On hot
summer afternoon, in the year -, the
ciass was sIeepily stumbling through
the introduction to Buffers Analogy.
Tne reverend doctor was quite as famll-
lar with the subject matter as with the
numbers Of chapters and sections, and
had way of his own III calling for a
recitation, Which sounded,quite as much
like call to judgment as call to re-
cite. The lesson was going badly, and
| tue doctor, nesting in his chair, called
out, "Mr. t, you may pass on to the
Future Liie.'"
Mr.. Twas toe much Of wag to let
the opportunity slip, and promptly re.
sponded, Not prepared"
The reader can easily imagine the
effect on the risibles ofthe class.

legeI horse thief was brought up for
trial at Waco, Texas. The evidence
against him was very strong, when his
wife, mere child, with fearful blue
eyes and blushlng ch eeks, and the stamp
of cantor on her innocent forehead, took
the stand and testified that her husband
had bought the horse from man she
had never seen but once, and produced
the bill OF sale. The jury burst into tears
and acquitted hin, and, locked in each
others arms, the devoted couple left the
court amid applause. Two hours later
the discovery was made that the wife
had been sonooled by one of the worst
thieves in the prison, who had written
the bill of sale Tor her.

The Guerilla Chief,

coRTINA PLAYING THE ROLE OF An
AMERICAN CITIZEN.
An amusing side show to the Mexican
drama Is the part which the guerilla
CHIEF, Cortina has played and is likely to
playxhen the question OF inter- ational
responsibilities and the obligations of
Mexico to our government comes up for
definite adjustment. 1t is reported at
the state department that Cortina some
time ago assumed to be an American
citizen, and that when there was any
political excitement at Brownsville or
elsewhere on the Texan border he was
in the habit Of coming over
Into Texas and participating in
the general agitation. 1t is reported that
Cortlna recently offered to contract with
the Spanish government officials at fla.
vana to furnish tie troops there with
iresh beef, and with the Mexican author.
ities TO furnish the Mexican army with
horses. While this latter matter is re-.
Rarded a. o jest rather than earnest. Il is
thought there may be something serious
In the question Of Cor,lna's American
citizenship. To this end inquiries have
been ret afoot by the state department,
for On Investigation Of the report. Senior
Aata says that II II be true
that Corlna Ia an American
citizen thu Mexican authorities would
bo only too happy to find a means Of
surrenderlng HIM TO the United States.

Tiger Hunting In ,India.
HOW A CAPTAIN ~ THE BRITISH ARMY
WAS Killed.


WAS KILLED.
The Delhi Gazette OF April 2Sth says
Captain l.. B0den met with his death at
Mandulguhr. it is u village about 40 OF
| 80 miles from Shapoora, aud about sixty
miles from Neemuch. ShapoOra is about
forty miles from Nussecrbad, where the
headquarters OF the siXty-eight are. |,
was the middle OF the day on Wednesday
the 18th, that 4 large male tiger showed
lIilns.if ~ tic beatorn icaIlc>rIy. Que lie
seized, indeed by the shoulder, and ne is
net expected to live. lie was close to an
other, who, however, being shouted to,
bolted out OF his way. The huntinO party
consisted OF Captain BOlden and Mr.. Bay
ers from Neemuch, and Lieut.. Goad, from
Nusseerabad. The two former were on
elephants aiterthe tiger. Mr.. Bayers in a
howdah, the other driving the animal
seated on sort of eXtemporized cloth
saddle only. The tiger appears to have
displayed great cunnig and iearlcssness,
and, escaping the ball aimed at it, sudden.
ly, by flank maneuvtr, jumped on Cap
tain Boden's elephants from behind.
Both elephants rushed away and very
soon Mr.. Bayers found himself still in his
howdah. a couple of miles from the
scele. Had Captain Boden' elephant
been as fearless as himself, the tragic
story had ended differently. A it was
when his terror stricken elephant rushed
madlv from his assailanr. the rider was
thrown backward. and must have
fallen into the very jaws of the injurious
lord Of the forest, who iorsOok the ele-
plant = execuf his will with teeth and
claws on his newly acquired prey. His
object seems to have been merely to dis
able, for having ieartully larcerated the
lower limbs, ii is said he galloped after
the elephant again. All this was the
work OF an instant, ana ere the terrified
onloOkers (of whom Mr. Bayers was one
could draw their breath the tiger was
out of sight. The wounded man was
carried somehow to his tent too far
away. and letters hurried Off to Deolee
and Nusseracad for aid. The cavalry
surgeon from the former station was the
first to reach. The news did
not reach Nusseerabad till Friday
morning, and DR.. Henry Waghorn, him
self an eminent shikasee, started of at
once on camel to the obscure spot
where the wounded man was living. He
reached there the next day, with his
apotheeary, and amputatiOn of the
thigh was performed at once. lie sat I'D
withhim all night. but with Sundays
dawn 1t was evident the poor fellow
would never see another. His intellect
was unclouded but the shock to his
powerful frame and possibly poison
from the tigers teeth or claws were too
much. He sent q last greeting to his
colonel In reply to letter that had lust
come in from Nusseerabad, moved his
pain stricken frame little as he turned
his weary head and died.
