The Tiger and His Victims.

AS matter of fact, the tiger is not q
specially ferocious animal AS the
greatest authority on Indian natural
history says, it is 81 harmless, timid
animal" 1t feeds on animals that are
prodigiously injurious to crops, and
there are on record in India the COM
plants of villagers on the increase of
deer and wild pigs in consequence of
the destruction of the tigers in their
neighborhood. When it gets too feeble
to catch wild animals it begins to eat
tame ones, or, easier victims still, the
men or women who are in charge of
the cattle. 1t then becomes, as IMAM
eater, criminal against humanity
and death cannot overtake it too soon
But it is only those who know the Hin
doc thoroughly who can credit it the
amazing apathy of these men, even
when III imminent danger. SO long as
it is not actually visible they. refuse to
take precaution against peril, and /
remember during the Afghan war as
sisting to thrash some lazy followers in
order to arouse them to n proper sense
of the necessity of saving their lives.
They had squatted down to smoke by
the roadside IN the Khyber pass,
though they knew the enemy was lurk-
ing In the rocks above them and in the
jungle behind them; though they had
with their own eyes seen the corpses Of
camp-followers lying where they had
been murdered when they sat down to
smoke. In the very same way the
herdsman comes loafing home in the
twilight, singing a song of the country
as he goes Ito let the tiger know that he
is coming, probably and suddenly out
of the sugar-canes flashes the tiger,
end there is an end of that herdsman.
But the next man will probably do the
very same thing. He Will take another
road, of course, on his way home, but
he will lag behind his cattle and sing
to himself in the same ridiculous way,
and out from under the bair tree springs
the same old tiger. Indeed, it is one
of the problems of Indian Administra-
ton how to keep the natives from sui
eide. They prefer to have half the
village down with smallpox and then
TO carry dead chicken round the
stricken hamlet on the end of pole
than to be vaccinated. They prefer to
lose prodigious number Of their ac-
quaintances 10y drowning than to pro-
tect their wells. They prefer to have
tens of thousands of men and women
bitten by snakes in the toes and thumbs
and die therefrom than let enough
light into q hut to see the difference
between frewood and obras.-Beigrd-

The VicerOy and the Baby.

a characteristic anecdote is related
related of the late Lord Lawrence,
when, as the new Viceroy, he was re-
turning to the country in which his
best years had been passed He was
in bad spirits, partly from sea-sickness,
partly from lack of friends and con-
genial natures around him, partly from
the feeling of the heavy responsibilities
which he had assumed in comparatively
weak health. A lady was returning to
India with her infant child, which she
utterly neglected, and the baby took
its revenge upon the passengers gener-
ally by squalling day and night alike.
They complained in no measured Ian
guage to the authorities. Steward,
throw that baby overboard!" was n cry
which came from many O sleepless
berth. But the nuisance continued I'M
abated. At last the new Viceroy, per-
haps because he saw in the child, half
unconsciously, slight resemblance to
his lost BERTHE, gave it large share Of
his attention, and would take it for
hours together on his knee, showing it
his watch and anything that would
amuse it. The child took to him, as he
to it, and, to the great relief of the pas
sengers, was always quiet in his pres
ence. "Why do you take so much no.
tice of that child?" asked one of them.
"Why, to tell the truth, said the Vice.
roy, that child is the only being in the
ship who / can feel sure does not want
anything out of me, and so L take
pleasure in its society" How much of
the kindliness and simplicity of great
nature is revealed by this simple story

Sad Result of n IOke.

There is a lady in London, the
daughter of a nobleman, who is con-
spicuous for her affection and devotion
to her husband, who has lost one Of
his eyes. The story is a sad one. Dur
ing their courting-days the gentleman
used to spend his Sundays at her ia
thefs villa, not far from London. One
Sunday morning the lady went to
church without him, and on her return
saw him sitting at the open drawing

Eminent Testimony.

N Y. Witness, Aug. Is, 1880.
Il find that in addition to the pure spirits
contained in their composition, they con-
tain the extracts of hops and other we'll
known and highly approved medicinal
roots, leaves and tinctures in quantities
sufficient to render the article what the
makers claim it to be, to-wit, a medicinal
preparation and not beverage-unfit and
unsafe to be used except as a medicine.
From q careful analysis of their formula
which was attested under oath-I find
that in every wine glassful of Hop Bitters,
the active medicinal properties aside from
the distilled spirits are equal to full dose
for an adult, which fact, in my opinion,
subjects it to an internal revenue tax as q
medicinal bitter.
