watched his victim. At last the man.
bringing his rife down to within foot
of the tigers head, fired, and missed!
The infuriated beast reared himself up
against the tree, and glaring at the man
as only tiger can glare, gave a terrific
roar, and suddenly man and rifle came
humping down to the ground. The
tiger bit a piece out of his side, and
left him, and he rolled down the hill.
His companions, who had been
helpless spectators, now rushed to his
rescue, picked him up, and hurried
away with him to his village. They
would have left as to our fate if my
friend and l had not each seized two
men, and calling our shikarees, insisted
on their remaining to help us move
our wounded comrade. Our position
now was remarkably pleasant: two out

ing. Our companion was severely
bitten in the left arm and leg, and
utterly helpless. We cut down a sap
ling, and improvised a hammock in
which to convey him to our camp, and
1t took every available man to carry
him. l shuffled along with the help of
a stick, and SO we started on that weary
eigh-mile night march to our tents.
Medical assistance having been sent
for, our wounds were attended to next
day, and we were conveyed, crippled
and disheartened, into the station we
had left rejoicing only five days previ-
ously, disguised at the sudden termina-
ton to our leave, but thankful for our
wonderful escape. My comrade had to
leave the service, as his wounds rem
dered him permanently inefficient. As

me plenty of time to mediate on tigers

A Maxim Of Washington.

Labor to keep alive in your breast
that little spark of celestial fire, con.
science" was one of a series of maxims
which Washington framed or copied for
his own use when a boy. His rigid adj
herence to principle, his steadfast dis
charge Of duty, his utter abandonment
Of self. his unreserved devotion to
whatever interests were committed to
his care, attest the vigilance with which
he obeyed that maxim. He kept alive
that spark. He made it shine before
men. He kindled it into a fame
which Illuminated his whole life. No
occasion was SO momentous, no Cir
cumstance so minute, as to absolve
him from following its guiding ray.
The marginal explanation in his &C
count-book, in regard to the expenses
of his wife's annual visit to the camp
during the revolutionary war, with his
passing allusion to the "self denial!"
which the exigencies of his country had
cost him, furnishes illustration of his
habitual exactness. The fact that every
barrel of flour which bore the brand of
George Washington, Mount Vernon"
was exempted from the otherwise uni
form inspection in the West India
ports-that name being regarded as an
ample guaranty of the quality of any
article to which it was affixed-sup-
plies not less striking proof that his
exactness was everywhere understood.

THE course of medical education in
Russia has not proved to be advantage
Gus to the health of the female students.
In the first class of graduates at the
st. Petersburg medical college for
women there were elghty-six students;
of these fifty-six passed through the
final examination; eighteen left the col
lege before the examination on account
of ill-health; and twelve died during the
five years course. Two of them per-
petrated self murder. The percentage
of sickness and death among the female
medical students in St. Petersburg is
nearly five times as large as that among
the male students.

Women Voters In kansas.


indianapolis Herald Letter from Salina
A HoosIer sees in Kansas many new ard
unfamiliar sights, but none more interesting
than that OF the ladies' voting. They have
the privilege OF voting in all matters pertain
ing to schools. As Tar as my observation
goes the ladies here have minds Of their own.
They neither vote for the ''handsomest man
nor the Que their husbands tell them TO vote
Tor. unless the candidate Is, IN their Oten
opinion, the proper one. Their votes cannot
be bought They are universally on the side
of morality and Temperance hence the
workers in the temperance cause are warm
advocates Of equal suffrage. Election days
pass quietly. II there Is any drinking or
fighting done. 1t is not at the polls. Every
thing Is orderly there. notwithstanding con-
trary reports circulated by anti-sutfraglsts in
the eastern states. Candidates keep car
riaces running for the accommodation of the
ladies, but a great many walk up and deposit
their votes. As the result, so Tar, has been
very satisfactory, even to the men (the
brutes), ii will probably be but short time
until equal suffrage Is granted. The gen.
tlemeu show their gallantry and faith in the
ability of the ladies by appointing them to
office. The enrolling clerks of the legisla-
ture are ladies also a large proportion of
the county supcIiutcndents, who, IN every
instance, discharge their duties in a manner
that gives universal satisfaction. We have
in this city among the ladies physician, Il
printer aud numerous clerks, and women
carving on business successfully IN various
ways. One OF them Is a yrrlsr, who supports
herself and children comfortably. Ladies
are not so plenty here rs IN Indiana. Per-
haps that l. the reason they are so well re-
spected aud protected. They are scarce
