4 TIGER EATS FIFTY MEN.

The Indian papers report that a
man eating tiger, which had killed
fifty persons during the last three
years, has been shot at Chakrata.-
This animal, it seems, had for the
last three years been the terror of
the tract of country known as Jaun-
sar-Bawar. Indeed, for twenty-five
miles beyond Deoban there's scarce
ly village that has not its history
of human victims. On the 18th of
September, leaving his usual haunts,
the tiger appeared at Deoban and
killed two men close to the forest
officers garden, one body only being
found. On the morning of the 18th
he killed a bullock a mile and a
half from Chakrata on the Deoban
road. The forest officer, Mr.. A.
Smythies, and Col. Fitz Roy, Fifth
Fusiliers, and most ofthe officers in
garrison then made arrangements to
surround the spot where the tiger
was last seen. Several soldiers also
volunteered. After about two hours
beating the tiger was marked
down" undera cliff. Nothing would
persuade him to leave his cover, and
it was not until a party with five or
six guns advanced to the spot where
ba xro- lx-;nc. +bo+ n shot ,r-or ,,o--,
bic, Mr.. Smythies drawing first
blood. The tiger then bolted, re
ceiving the fire of several rifles, and
was eventually killed on the Jadi
road, about 400 yards from where
he was first hit The government
reward for the tiger was 800 rupees.
He was small but very powerful
animal, measuring as he lay seven
feet eight inches from his nose to
the tip of the tail.

A HEROINE IN A FIX.

| used to know the late @. P. r.
James, whose novels at one time
enjoyed a very large circulation
One day | called upon him, and we
had agreed to 90 out somewhere
together. | found him dolefully
seated over manuscript. He was
not writing, but he was gazing at
it with melancholy despair. i
thought he was i'll, and asked him
whether he thought this was the
case. No, he said, he was physically
well. What, then, was the matter
with him? | anxiously inquired
1T is my heroine" he answered
Il have got her without a slight
violation of the rules Of propriety.'
"Then let her be improper, and
don't let Us be late for the train,
flippantly said. My dear friend
he replied, "do you want to ruiz
me? Are you not aware that | live
by never allowing my heroines tC
do anything to which the mos
stringent mamma might object! L
once the slightest doubt were raised
about my novels being sound read
ing for the most innocent of school
room girls my occupation will be
gone" And so we missed the train
but the heroine emerged from the
pages of the novel a model of al
that a heroine ought to do under
difficult circumstances.

TRUTH CRUSHED TO
EARTH.

Wall Street News: Monday af-
ternoon stranger, whose whole APP
pearance was dead giveaway on
his empty pockets, entered an office
in Exchange Place and asked:
$40 | look like a missionary
about to sail for Indiaw
"No, sir" was the prompt reply.
"That's right. | like people to
be frank with me. Do l look as if
| conld convert a great number Of
heathens if | should turn mission
airy"
NO, sir"
"Good again. Would you advise
me to turn missionaryW
mo. sir"
Thanks. | see YOU are bust
ness man. I'm another. [ came
here calculating to tell you that |
was a missionary about to sail for
India, and ask you for small dona-
ton. You wouldn't have given me
a cent, would you!
mo, sir"
That's plump, and it pleases me.
| Now, then, III tell you the truth.
I've no money, nothing to do,
don't want work, expect to have a
close rub this winter, and will be
much obliged for the loan of ten
cents
Cant spare it."
"Not even when | tell you the
truth"
No, sir. l can'ts see how it aft
ects me any"
VERY well. 1t does me good to
find frank, honest man, and, on
the whole, I'm not disappointed
Ii you had lent me dime it would
have went for whisky, and been
wasted; ifyou had believed me |
should have lied to you. Seems
as if vol. might recommend me to
some one in the block on whom
pleasant lie would have effect; but |
won't press the matter. An reyoir'"

WHAT A COIN DID.

A coin is in itself a history
There was once a lost city which
owes its place to coin. For over
a thousand years no one knew
where Pandosia was. History told
us that at Pandosia King Pyrrhus
collected those forces with which he
overran Italy, and that he establish
ed mint there; but no one could
put their fngeron Pandosia. Eight
years ago a coin came under the
sharp eyes of a numismatist. There
were the letters Pandosia inscribed
on it, but, what was better, there
was al emblem, indicative of a we'll
known river, the Crathis. Then
everything was revealed with the
same certainty as if the piece of
money had been an atlas, and Pan
dosia, the mythical city, was at once
given its proper position in Brut-
tium. Now, a coin may be valu-
able for artistic merit, but when it
elucidates a doubtful point in his
tory or geography its worth is very
much enhanced. This silver coin,
which did not weigh more than a
quarter of a dollar, because it clear
ed up the mystery of Pandosia, was
worth to the British Museum ST.
900, the price they paid for it.

MEERSCHAUM MINES.

The most extensive depots of
meerschaum are in Asia Minor and
are about twenty-four miles south
east of the city of EskiScher, form
erly Dorylea, the inhabitants of
which, numbering about twelve
thousand Americans and Turks,
are principally employed in collect
ing or dealing in this mineral. 1t
is obtained down in the earth, shafts
or pits being sunk to depth of
twenty-seven or thirty-three feet
Forty or fifty miners work in one
mine and form company, dividing
the profits among themselves. The
stones are generally irregular in
shape, and vary greatly in size,
being from the size of a nut to a
square foot or more The largest
pieces are the most in demand. and
the dearest. The mineral, when
freshly dug, is of a yellowish white
color, and covered about finger
thick with red, greasy earth, so soft
that it can be cut with knife
The treatment which the meer-
schaum must be subjected to before
it is fit for export is very expensive
and tedious. The pieces must first
be freed from the adhering earth
and dried for five or six DAYS in the
sun, or for eight or ten DAYS in warm
rooms. The mineral is then clean
ed second time and polished with
wax. After this it is sorted into
different grades, OF which there are
ten, and carefully packed with cot
ton into boxes for export. The
stones lose two-thirds of their weight
and volume in the operation of clean
ing and drying. The price depends
upon the demand. The largest
is sent to Vienna and Ger
many.

A FISH STORY.

A Boston correspondent of the
Forest and Stream tells the follow
ing remarkable story: The scene is
laid in Long Island, where, or the
shore Of a pond, the correspondent
was watching the play Of swallows
as they skinned just over the sur
face Of the water shortly before sun
set. About hundred yards out
was a bed of lily pads; and as the
swallows skipped it, occasionally q
good-sized ripple could be seen, and
sometimes a break from the edges
indicated a fish there. This fasten-
ed my attention to the particular
place. | had often seen cats play
with swallows, swooping at them, but
the idea of a fish doing the same
was something new to me. Present
ly | saw a clean breach, and a fine
large pickerel showed his whole size
and got swallow too, as he disap
peared beneath the water. This |
saw repeated several times, and |
called the attention of my comean-
ion to this novel sight. While We
were watching We saw two large fish
break after the same swallow, the
fish coming from opposite directions,
and each head on to each. Both
missed the swallow, but, singular to
relate, only one fish was seen to drop
into the water, and neither was seen
to pass the other. My companion
and myself looked with wonder
There was a great commotion In the
water, with a continuous scattering,
and boat being handy We jumped
in and rowed to the spot, and picked
up the largest pond pickerel | ever
saw. When we had him in the boat
the mystery was solved; the smaller
of the fish, had in his eagerness for
The swallow, jumped clear down the
larger ones throat, and only the
tail, to the extent of about an inch,
showed. The larger fish was COM
pletely rent asunder and killed by
the catastrophe. Both together
weighed twenty-five pounds.
