Tie FeTOCity Of Tigers.

A traveller tells the following story Of
the way in which one tiger terrorized q
whole community:
The Captain showed me the skin OF a
large tiger, which, short time since.
killed three natives In four nights in
this place. The village IS surrounded
by stockade to keep out these raven
GUS beasts, and the gate is guarded at
night by native armed with a musket.
One evening this tiger stole up be-
hind the guard, sprang upon him, and,
as q native said who CHANGED to see it.
l&lled him instantly with blow of her
paw on the back of his neck. She then
caught him up and ran away with him.
The next day the body was found,
partly eaten, and was buried very deep
to keep it out of her reach.
The second evening she seized and
carried off'a native who was bathing at
the foot Of the cliff The Captain now
found he must try and destroy her, and
therefore loaded a musket with a very
heavy charge of powder and two bull
let's. The gun was then dashed firmly
to tree, and large piece of fresh
meat was fastened to the muzzle, so
that when she attempted to take it
away, she would discharge the piece
and receive both bullets. The next
morning they found a piece of her
tongue on the ground near the muzzle
of the gun, and the same trap was set
again; but the next night she came
back and took away second man on
guard at the gate of the stockade.
The Captain now started, with a cor
poral and eight men, determined to
hunt her down. They tracked her to q
place filed with tall grass, and, closing
around that, slowly advanced, until two
or three of them heard a growl, when
they all fired and killed her instantly.
1t proved to be a female, and she lad
evidently been SO daring for the our
pose of procuring food for her voupc.

Big Gold Nuggets.

On the 18th of August, 1860, large
piece of gold was taken from the Mon
umental Quartz Mine, Sierra Buttes,
which weighed 1886 ounces troy, the
value of which was estimated at from
$21, ZOO to $4,000. The nugget was
sold to II. B. Woodward, of San Fran
cisco, for SCI, 1862. A fine specimen
was taken from the Rainbow Quartz
Mine, Chipp's Flat, in 1881. It was

nugget was found at French Ravine
that weighed $50 ounces, and was worth
$4,000. It contained considerable
quartz, which is not calculated in its
weight. In 1851, at French Ravine,
nugget was found which weighed 426
ounces, and was valued at $4,000. A

ing IA ounces, and worth $2,605. At

Ierra.a,Otta Lumber.

A remarkable material called terra
Gotta lumber" has recently been
brought to notice in England. It is
composed of the top layer of fire-clay
beds and sawdust, exposed to heat and
pressure. Slabs, bricks and boards of
any shape can be nodded from it, and it
is capable of being cut by edge tools,
pierced by nails, sawn and otherwise
manipulated, just as wood is. But the
strangest feature about it is that it
stands, without any apparent effect
upon it, more intense heat than fire.
clay will bear; and for lining furnaces,
for bridge walls in smelling furnaces
and other places of exposure to great
heat it will be valuable and almost
inexpensive substitute for asbestos.
Water seems to have no destructive in
fuence upon it. Its weight is about
that of an equal mass of cinder, and its
color varies from light buff to fierce sal
mon. No doubt it will be found of
great value for building purposes.

A Silent Paf,tn.r.

At supper one evening AEr. Top1oo-
dy, after praising his wifa's fine biscuits
and good coffee, began to talk on mu-
nicipal affairs, in hopes that Mrs. T.
would take hand, and she did.
my DEAR" he said, "do you know
the city is going to appropriate 81, OOO,-
COO to clean and repair the streets ?"
Il did see something about an appro-
priation, or whatever you call it, and a
man named ingalls,, but [ thought it
was something going on in Congress, or
the Senate, or Cabinet or something q"
Il believe so, but this matter is right
here at home, and I'm glad to see the
prospect of an era of reform and clean
illness, because we need it, not only in
the streets, but everywhere else"
care you ready to do your share in
cleaning the city, Topnoody?"
"Ay, that 1 am, ready and willing;
more, am eager to do my humble por-
tion," and he swelled all up with munic-
ipal patriotism.
Very well. then, Topnoody, go out
there in the backyard and begin. It's
too dirty to think of, and I've been at
you ever since last spring to help your
poor, struggling wife in her efforts to
make your surroundings respectable. I
like to see you men blow about clean
ing the streets, when you leave your
wives to paddle around in ferry boats
in their own back-yards. They are all
alike, Topnoody, and you are more
alike, believe, than any of the rest of
them. Bah, at your street cleaning and
your million dollar appropriations,
when, if your wives didn't make you,
you wouldn't even put on a clean shirt
oftener than once in three months! I
like to hear men talk, but I don't want
to hear anything from you, Topnoody,
until you've disinfected that back yard.
Topnoody is at present only silent
mariner Drummer.

Agricultural Societies.

Agricultural societies were first es-
tablished in the New England States,
and Hardwick, Worcester county, Mass,
is entitled to the honor of holding the
first "fair," on June -, 1852. The
next agricultural society was established
in Philadelphia, under the auspices of
Dr.. Benjamin Franklin, in 1855. New
York fell into line in 1871, Boston in
1892, Hallowell, Ne, in 1901; four 9TH
ers followed in 1901 to 1914, and several
others at q later date throughout New
England. There are now twenty-nine
agricultural societies in Massachusetts,
