A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
That Of a Tiger in the Act of Kill
ing a Buffalo.
London Telegraph.

London Telegorph.
A tiger photographed in the very
act of killing buffalo is prob ably an
occurrence unparalleled in the annals
of the camera. Yet that such pho
tograph has actually been taken is
voucbed for in the Indian press. The
artist, it appears, had focused on the
Buffalo, which was tied for the occa-
sion to tree stump in the middle of
a field, and had just put dry plate
into the camera, when the tiger,
b ought up to the spot for the pur-
pose, went at it and struck down the
great horned beast with his right paw.
MY instrument" says the photograph
er, was about seven Yards from the
buffalo, and the tiger might just as
well have come at me if he had chos-
en- to do so, but he preferred the beef,
and taking advantage of the moment
he had sprung upon his victim, l re-
leased the spring shutter just as he
had given the buffalo his knock down
blow"
The negative is good enough to
give an authentic picture from the
life of the most terrible of carnivorous
beasts at the precise moment when
it had stunned its huge prey. The
Buffalo, though fatally struck, had
not even time to fall before the "sun
picture" of its dying moments was
fixed upon the faithful plate, and so
there it stands with its knees just Civ
ing away under it, and its great head
dropping in death. A quarter of
second later, and it was lying upon
the ground lifeless but on the pho
tographer's glass it remains forever in
the actual attitude of dying, and at
the instant when tits drawing its las.
breath.
After Staying the buffalo the tiger
stretched his head round over the
neck and slipping its mouth down to
the buffalo's throat, lay across it, suck
ing its life blood This fact is an extra
ordinary one, for it has long been de-
cided, upon what were considered
indisputable observations, that the
tiger never by any chance, commenced
a meal at the throat. Sometimes, if
there were fight, it would wound
its adversary in that spot but as a
rule. it trusts to its first blow to break
its victims neck, and then pulling it
down to the ground begins to devour
a portion of the hind quarters.

thought and feeling. The exercise of
self-control, of truthfuln ss, of honesty,
and other essential qualities not only
result in habitual actions of the same
nature, but in habitual feelings or
states of mind that induce those &C.
tons. So the condition which We
call happiness is likewise acquired to
a considerable degree. 1t involves
within it many things, but they are
not impossible to secure, and when we
have discovered them it rests with us
to encourage or to discourage them.
Happiness is not only privilege, but
a duly, not mere outward good that
may perhaps come to Us, but an in
ward possession which we are bound
to attain. When we remember the
contagious character of happiness, the
strength, courage, and hope it excites
by its very presence and the power for
good it exerts in every direction, we
cannot doubt our obligation to attain
as much of it as is possible.

A Remarkable Bridge.

st. Nicholas
Distant about an hours ride by
rail from Avignon is The Pont Dis
Gard Cor bridge of the Gard") a
great bridge or acqueduct, built here
by the Romans at the time when this
part of France was occupied by the
soldiers and colonies of that people.
and next to the Colosseum of Rome,
1t is considered the grandest and most
perfect piece of Roman architecture
now standing in the world. 1t is an
immense stone bridge, stretching
across the whole valley. 1t consists
of three rows of arches, one above the
other. In the lower row there are
six very large arches, above this is a
longer row of eleven smaller arches,
and over this. thirty-fve arches still
smaller. On the top of the upper
row, and forming the summit of the
bridge, is a covered acqueduct or
waterway. At little distance this
vast bridge seems almost as entire and
perfect as when first built, and we
can hardly realize the fact that it has
stood there for nineteen centuries.
1t was erected solely for the purpose
of carrying water across the valley,
and was part of an acqueduct, twenty
five miles long, constructed by the
Romans to conduct the water of the
springs of Airan to the town of Ne.
mansus, now the French town of
Mines.
Great stones project at regular In
tervals from its sides to the top OF a
second row of arches. These served
as supports to the derricks and other
machines by which the massive stones
we're raised as the people progressed.
We can also see the square indenta-
tions in the stonework which were
made there to support the scafolding
of the Roman masons.

AGE OF VEG ETABLES.
Vegetables Which Have Been
Grown and Eaten for Centuries
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Most of the species of We etable We
now cultivate have been grown and
eaten for centuries. Even before the
Christian era many of them were in
use. Lettuce has been used at the
table for thousands of years. Hero.
doius tells us that it was served at the
royal tales CENTURIES before the
Chritian era and one of the noble
families of Rome derived its name
from this plant. Spinach, asparagus
and celery have been cultivated and
eaten among the eastern nations for
thousands of years. Jesus took the
mustard seed as the exponent of a
parable, showing that it was esteemed
among the Jews. Radishes were
known and grown by the Greeks, and
were offered at Apollo's shrine,
wrought in precious metals. Pars-
nirs were grown and brought from
the Rhine to add to the Injuries of
Tiberius' table. Bee,s were most es-
teemed centuries ago. and carrots
were in such repute in Queen Eliza
beth's reign that the ladies of her
court adorned their huge structures of
false hair with their feathering plumes
Peas at Elizabeth's court were very
rare. and were imported from HOl-
land as great delicaUy. Fruits are
also in great repute among the an
clients. The currant was cultivated
centuries ago in European gardens,
and was called the Corinthian grape.
One old writer speaks of his berries
as Corinths, hence the name of cur
rants. The damson plum was extern
sively cultivated at Damascus, whence
its name. The cherry came from
Crosus, city of Pontus, and the de-
licious peach. king of fruits, was first
known in Persia. The ounce was a
holy fruit. dedicated to the goddess OF
love, and was called cyndonian apple.
Pears are as ancient as apples, and
are mentioned among the paradisal
fruits. Grapes were known at very
period and are often men,
toned in the Bible.

Leather From Catfish Skin.

Philadelphia Times.
"When l was shooting on the st.
Francis river in Arkansas, some years
ago, / discovered that catfish skin
makes good leather" said Jacob Truu-
genwalt, the fishing-tackle maker on
Third street yesterday, "and l have
manufactured il ever since. l heard
a story when / was there about big
catfish which had broken all the nets
In the nvighborhood and | laid for
him with my gun beside pool which
he frequented. | staid there all day
and was leaving at mOonrise when L
threw the remnants of some canned
salmon on which | had lunched into
the river. Suddenly | saw a huge
black shining object roll half way out
of the water. My heart leaped to my
mouth. l pulled myself together and
held my gun in readiness. There was
another splash, then bang went my
gun and floating belly up in the pool
/ saw the dig catfish. He was dead,
the bullet having gone through his
head. He weighed 100 pounds. Well,
sir, | had him skinned In no time, in
tending to stuff the skin, but the fellow
[ gave the job to made a botch of it
and brought me the skin beautifully
tanned instead. A happy thought
struck me that / might profit by the
accident, and / started and have since
successfully carried out catfish-skin

everything, from shoe laces to slippers,
cabas, pocketbooks and fancy pocket
case covers" The leather is light
in color. very soft, and Mrs. Trugen-
walt says tougher than the hide of a
badger"

Happiness a Habit.
Philadelphia Ledger.

Philadelphia Ledger.
Every permanent state of mind is
largely the effect of habit. just as
we can perform an action so continual
" that it comes to be habitual, so we
can encourage conditions of mind till
they, too, come to be habits of think,
ing and even of feeling. Every
thoughtful parent or teacher recognize
es this in the training of youth. The
child constatly thwarted or scolded OF
ridiculed has constantly aroused with
in him feelings of resentment or dis
enlargement or misery, and these
grow to be habitual, and a character
Tor ill-temper or moroseness or des
,ondency is formed. On the Other
hand, the child who is wisely treated
those faculties are brought into
lotion, who is encouraged to do well
who is surrounded with cheerful faces
and orderly arrangements becomes &C
customed to corresponding habits Of

The Rotation of The Earth.

An important and anxious question
| of the modern astronomer is, whether
The earth's rotation is uniform, and
if not, in what way and to what extent
does it vary? The Importance, Of
course, lies in the fact that this rota.
ton furnishes our fundamental meas
ure and unit of time. Up to a com.
paratiyely recent date there has not
been reason TO suspect this unit of any
variation sufficient to be detected by
human observation. 1t has long been
perceived, of course, that any changes
In the earth's form or dimensions must
after the length of the day. The dis
placement of the surface or strata by
earthquakes or by more gradual eleva-
ton and subsistence, the transporta-
ton of matter toward or from the
equator by rivers or ocean currents,
the accumulation or removal of ice in
the polar regions or on mountain tops
any such causes must necessarily
produce a real effect. So, also, must
the friction of tides and trade winds.
If has been supposed that these effects
were so minute, and to such an ex-
tent mutually compensatory, as to be
quite beyond the reach of observation;
nor is it yet certain that they are not.
All that can be said is that it is now
beginning TO be questionable whether
they are not. The reason for suspect
ing perceptible variation in the earth's
revolution lies mainly in certain unex-
planned irregularities in the apparent
motions of the moon. She alone, of
all the heavenly bodies, changes her
place in the sky so rapidly that minute
inaccuracies of second or two in the
time of observation would lead to
sensible discrepancies In the observed
position, an error of one second in the
time corresponding to about half a
second in her place-a quantity
minute, certainly, but perfectly OBJ
servable. No other heavenly body
has an apparent movement anywhere
nearly as rapid, excepting only the
minor satellite of Mars, and this body
is so minute that its accurate obser-
walton is impracticable, except with
the largest telescopes and at the times
when mars Is usually near the earth.
