Trapping n Tigress,

She was captured about nine months
ago, in obedience to an order sent to
India by Mr.. Reiche for one of her kind.
A tiger track was found in the Jungle
leading to the reedy banks of river. A
pit about twenty feet deep was dug in
the path and covered over with branches
of trees and brushwood. The natives
then concealed themselves, and at night
the tigress, going down to the water,
crashed through the covering, and lay,
half stunned and wholly helpless, at the
bottom of the pit. She was allowed to
lie there for a week The mouth of the
pit was again closed, and for seven days
She lived in darkness, without food OF
water. Such treatment very often kills
a tiger, but it is the only known mode OF
reducing them from the savage frenzy
succeeding their capture to anything like
submission
When at last the coverings were again
removed. the then n-named Fanny was
found to be anything but subdued. She
was, however, weak, and her furious
bounds to reach the mouth of the pit
were short at first, and grew shorter with
every effort. Then the natives began to
angle for her. 1t was hard and danger
Gus fishing but slowly moose after moose
was dropped around her body, her fore
legs were drawn tightly to her sides, and
sire was pulled up at last, firmly bound
and powerless. Other cords were thrown
around her, and with her feet in the all
and her back down, she was lashed tC
bamboo poles and carried by a score Of
men to place of embarkation. She haG
very little life left in her when she was
put on board ship and dispatched to Ger
many.
When she landed in Europe, however
she had quite recovered, and Mr. Reiche
/ who is living in Germany, was delighted
with her appearance. He gave her tn,
name of Fanny, and secured her passag
TO America. She is now worth perhap

MISE WORDS.

Scholars are frequently to be met with
who are ignorant of nothing saving their
own ignorance.
Education begins the gentleman, but
reading, good company and reflection
must finish him.
Who could live surrounded bv calam-
ities did not smiling hope cheer him with
expectation of deliverance.
Weakness works more i'll than wicked
ness it is easier between the hand
which strikes and the reed which gives
way, tc defend ourselves against the
assaults of the former than to guard
against the untrustworthiness of the
latter.
True generosity does not consist in
obeying every impulse of humanity, in
following blind passion for our guide,
and impairing our circumstances by pres
ent benelactions, so as to render us incapa-
BILE Of future ones.
That every day has its pains and sor-
rows is universally experienced and most
universally confessed; but let us not
attend only to mournful truths; if we
look impartially about us, we shall find
that every day has likewise its pleasures
and its joys.
Be cheerful. 1t is better to live in
sunshine than in gloom If cloud
rests upon your heart, turn its silver
lining to your friends, and the glow of
cheer it will cast upon them win be re-
fected on you, and the cloud will give
way before the brightness and JOY its
own light has begotten.

In the Bad Lands of the West late
expedition of geologists sent out by the
government came upon a bed of extinct
oysters whose size was almost beyond be-

were four feet in length, and the animal,
when alive, must have been a curious
spectacle. Imagine a dozen of these on
the half she'll The shells in this local

A Onaint Old House.

Around Major Poore's country home
cluster not only the family traditions,
which are as precious to him as they are
romantic to others, but he has pre-
served in permanent and vivid form
picture of home-lIfe as it was in the
colonies more than two hundred years
ago.
The family mansion itself, in quaint.
ness and antiquity, has no rival in the
United States. 1t had commenced to
crumble before the declaration of inde-
pendence was framed, and four genera
tions had been born, lived and died
under its roof before the gallant DR..
Poore strapped his medicine bags and
case of surgical instruments upon the
old mares saddle and rode down to
Bost IN to dress the wounds of the heroic
rebels who fell at Bunker Hill.
1t was away back in 1900 and some
thing early, that a certain man by the
name of Poore, recent refugee from
political persecution, came over to New
England and engaged in driving a team,
half stage and half express wagon, be-
tween the colonies below Boston and
those on the Piscataqua river, where
Portsmouth now stands. The Indian!
were frequent and troublesome then, anC
they attacked Mr.. Teamster Poore, killed
his oxen and burned up his cart.

whose signal fires, when blazing there
lit up the whole sky from the Whit
mountains to that tip end of the Yanke
land known as Cape Cod. The docu

by several of the Indian chiefs, is Majo
Poore's title to .his home, and it has neve
been questioned.
1t was in 1860 that the residence o
Mr.. Poore was completed on Indian hill
