An Idea Worth Adopting.

The water supply abroad is 80 often
of u doubtful character that travellers
have resorted to the prudent cXpcdlent
of drinking only some well-known min
cral water. Thcreupon large trade
has been done in the purchase IRON rag
and bottle merchants of such mineral
water bottles as still bore the labels in a
fairly good condition. 1t was then easy
20 fiji them with ordinary and possibly
contaminated water, adding salt to give
the taste and appearance of the desired
mineral spring By this fraud the con-
sumer was not merely robbed but made
TO drink the very water he was doing
his best to avoid. We are therefore
pleased to note that in France at least
the Project of Police has adopted oner-
gctic measures to check this abuse
Orders have been given to visit all de-
pots of mineral waters, to seize hap
hazard a specimen and analyze it on the
SPOT. The tradesmen will also be called
upon to exhibit their invoices to prove
whence their stock is derived. Not only
are the stores of wholesale agents OF
dealers to be thus inspected, but the re-
tailers, the cafe, restaurant and publlt
house keepers will be subjected to ar
equally vigorous supervision and al
vendors of such falsiIications will be LA
HE to prosecution. Lancet

How a Tiger Strikes Down It's Prey.

1t is u disputed point how tiger
strikes down its prey, and, although |
have lived in and ro,mcd jungles for
the greater part of my life, and have
had two ponies killed, | never saw an
animal struck down, though have
come upon the quivering carcass not
yet cold. Opinions differ. Williamson
says: "The tigers forc-paw is the
invariablc engine of destruction. Most
people imagine that il tiger were de.
prived of its claws and teeth he would
be rendered harmless, but this is a
great error. The weight of the limb is
the real cause of mischief, for the claws
are rarely extended when a tiger SEXES.
The operation is similar to that of a
hammer; the tiger raises his paw, and
brings it Gown with such force as not
only to ST. !, n common sized bullock or
buffalo, ut even crushing the bones
of the skull. / have seen many men
and deer that have been killed by tigers,
in most of which no mark of claw
could be seen; and when scratches did
appear they were obviously the effect OF
chance, from the claw sliding down
ward, and not from design" johnson
is of a contrary opinion, for he says
"During residence of nine years In
Chittra ] have never seen man or al
animal killed by a tiger that had moi
the mark of claws, yet / admit tha
the force with which tiger generally
strikes is sufficient of itself, without the
aid of his claws, to kill men or larg,
animals, and believe that it occasion
ally takes place in the manner | have
described, but never from its weight
like the fall of hammer" Ofmy tw
ponies, the first was seized In the stabl
by the throat and the windpipe severed
and also saw bullock thus treated a

upper part of the neck, by which tn
jugular was severed, and though tn
tiger was driven off, the pony bled

Growing Celery.

The sccd-bcd should be made very
fine and well fortified with the finest
OF manure, and the rows marked OF
about ten inches apart. The seed should
be covered very shallow, and often pass
ing a garlcn-rOllcr over the rows will
cause sufficient covering. When the
plants appear, they should be carefully
wccdcd out; and when they havc reached
the height oi nearly foot, they should
be pruncd down TO u few inches, so that
a thick growth may be insured. 1t is
also claimed that the tranSplanting in
lures them far lees when thus shortened
OF their leaves.
The celery beds should next be thor
oughly stirred 10 a good depth, mixing
the soil ~ thoroughly rs possible to
make it free from Jumps, and so give
the roots the hest chance 10 attain their
food. The plants, when sctin the rows,
need not exceed eight inches apart, and
should have the earth lirmcd about
them, as ANYTHING which contributes
towards retaining moisture is Il benefit
to the plants. Setting eight inches
apart, in rows three feet distant from
each other, gives not only ample room
for working, but allows all the space
necessary Tor their development and
final hrcakingup. After some weeks OF
the Fat culture, change will be ncces-
sary in order TO blanch the stalks,
which is done by bringing the
soil up about them. The stalks are
closed together by the hand, and
the soil is again immcd about them, care
being taken to keep it around the plant,

OF the stalk, as this would defeat the OBJ.

With the dwarf varieties, the lcsscncd
labor of preparing them for blanching is
the best argument in their favor, as Q
much less amount of ealth is required
with consequent diminished work. As
winter approaches, the soil is loosencd
up between the rows, and is then thrown
up quite 10 their tops; but if they are to
be secured so rs to be accessible for win

accomplished by gradual covering, in

The other evening, as muscular citi-

called out to him:
"Sir! | appeal to you for protcc-

he stopped short.
"Thcrc's man in the house, and he
wouldn't go outdoors when | ordered

"ITc wouldn't, oh! Wen see about
that!"
Thcreupon the man gave the woman
his coat TO hold and sailed into the
house splitting on his hands. He found
man down at the supper-table, and he
took him by the neck and remarked;
"Nice style of brute you are, Ell!
Come out o. this, or I'll break every
bone in your body"
The man fought back, and it was not
until chair had been broken, and the
table upset that he was hauled outdoors
by the legs, and given a fling through
the gate. Then, as the muscular ctl-
zen placed his boot where it would do
the most hurt, he remarked; "Gow,
