A Tigers Strength.

Nothing shows more the marvellous strength
possessed by the tiger than the way In which
he carries his victim away. / remember the
first time / was shown where tiger had drag
ged afull-grown bullock could not believe
it poss BILE, and it was not until after we had
killed the robber, only an ordinary sized IT,
gress-and had carefully gone over on foot
the ground where she had dragged her prey
that found that she had not only dragged
the dead bullock-an animal, should think,
considerably beyond her own weight
over very rough ground and through
a dense can ,-brake, but that in some
rlaces, as the marks showed, she must
actually have lifted the forequartcrs of
The bullock off the ground in her mouth, and
have walked several yards with 1t in that posi-
ton. When the yct III had been dragged to
what the tiger considers position of security
1t will sit down and make good meal, an
then retire a short distance from its prey to
some particularly thick bush or tuft Of grass,
and there remain until the following night,
and then return for another meal. In conse-
auence of this well-known habit, "a KILL" as
it is called, is the best of al. khubber, and in
such cases, If the tiger has not been d sturbed,
the SPORTSMAN is almost sure to find him ly ing

arrangements are well made, is pretty sure 10

CHRIsT's WORK FOR MANS GOOD.
Again, and lastly, learn from all that has
been said this morning that Christ was
awfully In earnest. Ii 1t had not been a mo-
mcntous mission De would have turned back
from 1t disguised and discouraged. He saw
you in captivity from which he was resolved
to extricate you, though 1t cost him all sweat,
all tears, ali blood. He came great way to
save you. He came from Bethlehem here
through the place of skulls, through the char
mel house through Punishment There was
not, among all the ranks of celestials, one
being who would do as much for you.
lay his crushed heart at your feet
to-day. Let it not be told in heaven
that you deliberately put your foot
on it. While 1t will take all the ages Of eter-
nifty to celebrate Christ's triumph, ! am here
to make the startling announcement that, be-
cause of the rejection of this mission on the
part of some of you, all that magnificent work
Of garden and cross and grave is, so far as you
are concerned, a failure. Helena, the EN-
press went to the holy land to find the cross
of Christ. Getting TO the holy land there
were three crosses excavated, and the question
was, which of the three crosses was Christs
cross. They took dead body, tradition says,
and put II upon one of the crosses, and there
was no life, and they took the dead body and
put 1t upon another cross, and there was no
life But tradition saws when the dead body
was put up against the third cross 1t sprang
into life. The dead man lived again. o, that
the life-givng power OF the Son OF God might
dart your dead sou into an eternal life, begin
ming this day Awake thou that sleepest,
and rise from the dead and Christ shall give
thee life y,

Vice in London and Paris.

That which marks the French from
every other people, and Paris from
every other city, is the unconcealed
character of the prevailing and popu-
lar vices. There are no subterfuges
whatever. That passes daily. may be
seen hourly, is encountered by modest
women on every hand, which | would
not dare to mention, far less describe.
You grow so used to it after awhile you
cease to notice it. There are no such
exhibitions in London. But, when The
raj Mai Gazette undertakes to insti-
tute an inv dious comparison between
the brutality of the English and the Ii
ccntiousness of the French, il simply
Jumps from very hot and dirty fry n.y.
pan into avery bright fire. That is all.
They do their viciousness in London
clandestincly and coarsely, in Paris they
do it openly, and seek to surround it
with kind of sentiment and sunshine.
Certainly the French are neither so self
isb nor so sensual as the English, though
vice is always and every where more or
less selfish and sensual The enraged
Frenchman murders first his mistress
and then himself. The enraged Bril-
ton murders his mistress and then tries
to make his escape, failing in which,
he takes all the chances of the law,
and dies upon the gallows protesting
his innocence and asserting his hope OF
a blessed resurrection. The French,
man who invades the home of his friend
is ready upon detection to render the
satisfaction of gentleman. The Eng.
lishman in like situation runs away
with his paramour until the storm,
blows over. and makes the closest pc
cuniary settlement his attorney can
get for him. On the whole, am in.
clined to believe with Sterne that "they
order these things better in France. y

LlNCOLN'S CHILDHOOD.

Nicoiay and Hay, in the November Century.
OF all these years Of Abraham Lincoln's
early childhood we know almost nothing He
lived solitary life In the woods, returning
from his lonesome little games to his cherries
home. He never talked OF these days to his
intimate friends. Once, when asked what he
remembered about the war with Great Britain,
he replied: "Nothing but this. had been
fishing one day and caught little fish which
/ was taking home. | met soldier In the
road, and having always been told at home
that we must always be good to the soldiers,
gave him my fish," This is only faint glimpse,
but what it shows is rather pleasant-the gen.
erous child and the patriotic household. But
there is no question that these first years of
his life had their lasting effect upon the tenn
permanent Of this great mirthful and mean-
choly man. He had little schooling. He ac-
companied his sister Sarah to the only school
that existed In their neghborhood, one kept
by Zachariah Riney, and another by Caleb
Hazel, where he learned his alphabet and
little more. But OF all those advantages for
the cultivation Of young mind and spirit
which every home now offers to its children
the books, toys, ingenious games, and daily
devotion of parental love, he knew absolutely
nothing.

A Mystery.
st. Nicholas for Noveml

st. Nicholas for November.
An oil ell is mystery" when its yield Is
kept secret by the owners, for the purpose of
making money by affecting the pr &c OF oil in
the market. If new well proves to be a
gusher, the price of oil is lowered if but a
small PRODUCER or dry hole prices 60 up.
So, by keeping secret the character of new
well, those on the ''inside" are able to take
advantage of any changes that occur in tn,
price of oil thu o Igh the rumors which immed-
lately get afoat concerning it, and TO make
money by buying and selling oil-speculatng,
as it is called. |, sonrtim happens, even,
that false ru ors are circulated by interested
persons. Every effort is made, however, 10
discover wat the mystery really is Scouts
are sent out for that especial purpose, and
they use every device and stratagern to obta n
the desired information, sometimes even
climbing trees and endeavoring with field
glasses to spy out the secret On the other
hand, every effort is made to prevent them
from learning anything; and some amusing
and exciting incidents occur In consequence.
A guard is on duty at the well, day and night,
and outs ,ders are kept at as great distance
as possible.
