AN ACHIEVEMENT IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
A tiger in the act Of eating buffalo has
been accidently photographed in India. The
poor creature, which was tied to a stump in
field, had just been focused when out
popped the tiger from a neighboring wood.
The artist released the spring shutter Of the
instrument just as the buffalo was laid low
by the beasts pad, and the ''sun picture;
was taken before the dying moment occurred.
II is said to be a most tragic tableau, and a
great achieveme nt in the art Of photography.

RESTORING Topped OFF FINGER.
If a child is so unfortunate as to chop of
one of his fingers with meat AK 1t does not
follow that he is to remain multilated for
life. DIR, Fave, of Finistere, was called to
one whose first finger was hanging by a small
piece of skin. Not being willing TO do sur
gical work at night he put the finger in
place and braced it with a couple Of corset
bones. Next day the finger was doing so
well that he did not disturb it In four DAYS
there was evidence Of union, in ten DAYS the
child could move the finger. and in a month
he was completely cured. No stitches were
used. DR.. Fave thinks that there Is too
much hasty surgery, aud the editor of the
Journal de Medicine, in agreement with him.
says that with moderate surgical dressings
fingers may often be saved, even when COM
pletely severed.

All animals, from the starfish to man, are
examples are furnished by the insect world,
especially by ants, bees and wasps. The but
terhy carefully provides for its young which
is destined never TO see; many insects feed
on particular species of plants, which they Sc
lect with wonderful sagscity; monkeys avoid
poisonous berries; bees and squirrels store up
food for the future; bees. wasps and spiders
construct with marvellous precision; the sub
terranean chambers of ants and the bikes Of
the beaver show engineering skill, while sal
mon 90 from the ocean upthe river TO spawn,
and birds of the temperate zone emigrate with
great regularity. In the midst OF this autOm-
atism, however, there are the glimmerings
of intelligence and free will. We see some
evidence of choice and Of designed adaptation.
Pure instinct should be iufaliible, yet we
notice mistakes that remind US Of mental
alterations. Bees are not so economical as
has been generally supposed; mathema-
tician can make five cells with less wax than
a bee uses for four, while the humble bee
uses three times as much material as the
hive bee; an exact hexagonaI cell does not
exist in nature; flies lay eggs on the carrion
plant because it happens to have the Odor OF
purified meat, the domestieated beaver will
build dam across its apartment; birds FREE
quently make a mistake in the construction
and location of their nests. In fact, the
process Of cheating animals relies on the i'm
perfection Of instinct. There is proof that
some animals profit by experience, Birds
do learn to make their nests, and the older
ones build the best. Trappers know we'll
hot ~ l. a,.;fw
than old ones. Birds brought up from the
egg in cages do not make the Characteristic
nests Of their species, nor do they have the
song peculiar to their species If they have
not heard it,-IJsmes Orton in Boston

The ideas of the ancients upon the subject
of the origin Of silk were rather vague, some
suppOsing it to be the entrails Of a spider,
which fattened for years upon paste, at length
burst, bringing forth its silken treasure:
others that it was spun by hideous horned
grub in hard nests OF clay-ideas which were
not dispelled until The sixth century, when
the first sillx-wbrms reached Constantinople,
introduced aud cultivated, like many other
benefits by the wandering monks. From
thence they were soon imported into Italy,
which for long period remained the head
quarters of the European silk trade, until
Henry ", of France, seeing that the null
berry trees were as plentiful in his southern
provinces as in Italy, introduced silk worm
culture with great sueeess.-LaRd and Water.

Prof. Tyndall began life as an engineer
and worked hard at it for small pay many
years. During that time occurred a little in
cident which well illustrates the character of
the man. When the great railroad building
mania was at its height in 1856. he Invested
some Of his earnings in railroad stock. he
held them for three weeks, and during that
time became so infected with the gambling
spirit that he could do nothing but watch the
stock market. Becoming Disguised with
himself for his lack of self control, he went
10 his broker and ordered him to sell his
stocks, which, II be had held some timee
longer, would have brought him handsom
profit.

A New Way to Deal with Liquor Men.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE decision
OfJudge Grul, of the circuit court, to-day has
created CONSERVATION among a large num-
yer of saloon keepers of this city. 1t in
wolves sixty retail liquor dealers who had re-
fused to take out licenses under
the Downing law, and the judgment
of the court places fine
5000 upon each, and denies them license
for two years. There are thirty additional
CAGES pending and about fifty others yet to
be reported by the grand jury. Only very
few saloon keepers of the city have re-
cognized the Downing law by taking out
county licenses, deeming it cheaper to pay
q nominal fine of $40 or $50, which has been
heretofore imposed in such cases

The D,car Z nm T.oIcer.

Strong wills are becoming as rare as
healthy physical organizations. The world
is "iussy,' but only because humanity is
working itself too much. Brain tissue has
increased; but healthy. vigorous thought has
diminished. ALLEGATIONS have become re-
alities, aud realities affectations. A tooth
ache converts Us into invalids, where our
ancestors laughed at the govt We have
beaten the gold leaf so thin that It has lost
its own color, and shines with a ghasily
green light. Sentiment has carried us past
common sense; We have had such terror Of
the flesh that We nave cultivated brain at the
expense Of motive tissue, and have produced
giants skull that is too heavy for the dwarf
legs 10 bear. Emotions have been refined.
but they have not been improved (;
brain has increased, but strong. vigor-
Gus thought has diminished. Education has
become difTused, but what the many have
gained the select few have lost: and though
there are abundance Of readers, the race OF
prophets has died out. Suicide has increased
because will aud healthy thoughts have
diminished. 1t is disease born OF modern
ALLEGATIONS, of the disappearance of that
self control and self respect that are better
than carloads OF mock sympathy and NOR
bid melancholy. Aside from the irresponsi-
bility of insanity, an unsuccessful self mur-
derer needs large dose of iron and large
dose Of the whip; and to crush out all future
attempts needs largef dose OF public con-
tempt and strong dose of the treadmil
In certain sense nature uses suicide 10 rid
the world OF fools; but It is, nevertheless, a
blot on civilization and a warning that there
is limit 10 all things, even TO human pro-
gress. Humanity has made rapid journey
towards perfection; but the point has been
now reached when rest and relaxation be-
come a necessity. We have conquered
worlds; let US now return FOR while to the
old Greek proyerb, and try TO conquer our
selves.-BOStoal Gazette.
