 lettings From the City Pulpits Ke.ter- day-Dr. Munser-Br. Ma1lSry of Vfr- gin1a-Rev. NAT. COGch of Brooklyn
 Rev. Mir. RIeserve.
 Rev. Dr. Munger at the United church yes terday morning preached from Luke 19-12 to 26-the parable of the talents. He said that the great object of the preacher and the hearers should be to get down to the depth of Christ's teachings. The difficulty in doing aatS2 is in the fact that the truths are spiritual while we are worldly. The resem- blance drawn by Christ in this parable is merely an outward resemblance, not moral resemblance. The servants or, subjects refer to mankind in general. Tha ecapitalsor paaaHpislife, opportunity, knowledge, in duence. False excuses will not be tolerated. The sin of omission, which we are apt to look upon as a trivial fault, is in the parable 8 very serious fault Nor can we evsde the issue. We must except or reject. Whether we have one pound or ten, fidelity to Christ is the great test. We fail in not having a clear comprehension of life. The satisfaction we hope to enjoy seldom comes; even philan- throphy ,or thedesire to benefit our race should ability to God. Wasted life, aimless life; what is more sad7 Drawn aside by every chance desire or momentary excitement; ear nestness cast aside because it implies labor religious, zeal looked upon as fanaticism, and others left to bear the burden and do the l work. The parable puts this subject in its l true light; fidelity in this world prepares us for greater trusts hereafter. Fidelity if dearer to God than the work itself, and without this exalted aim life is indeed "van- l ity of vanities," dreary round, drudgery, l full of mystery and sadness. Our work and ourselves, may soon be forgotten, but the spirit in which the work is done. ii rightly done, will never die. We cannot car l " into the future world even the flowers that dear friends may put in our ifeless | hands, but we can take with us proud | fidelity which will be draft on the treasury 1 of heaven, and it is the only coin which will ! pass current in the heavenly country. |. | The choir sang with much taste and deli eaey ofeexpression the invitation Of Christ 'fCome unto me all ye that labor and ars heavy laden, and I will give you rest" Ths ! several parts were we'll balanced and thu harmony was excellent.

The Coldest Weather or the HeasOn-
 The Harbor Well Frozen Over-Indf.
 cations for To-Day.
 The present spell of co d weather has been felt very severely in this section. At eleven o'clock Saturday night the thermometer reg istered four above zero outside Klock's drug store and car drivers, policemen, bank presi- dents and all hands were Consulting it. It was probably the eoldest night1asthe season. Every body shivered and hiirrfed out of the cold. Two years ago there was worse spell than this. It came on the last three days of February and the first two days of March, a ! five days pull at it; zero weather at sunrise, | fearing hurricane day and night and tenn | perature only 12 to IS degrees at midday. | The pressure of the wind on the Brooklyn
 bridge was 3711S pounds to the square foot | equivalent to force of 661s miles an hour. | On Mt. Washington 1t was 140 miles an hour l and 25 degrees below zero. Probably it is about the same there now, but fortunately | nobody is there now to endufe it..
 The harbor is frozen over and presents 8
 slippery. glass like surface as far as the eye can reach. The steamers to and from Belle
 dock experience some difficulty in cutting
 through the ice. If the present weather con | tinUes few days longer it will cut off hsvi-
 gation above Tomlinson bridge and close up
 many of the slips entirely.
 In the signal office last evening the wea-
 ther men thought the indications were for ! fair weather, but no word had been given
 from Uncle Sam at that hour as to whether I the weather was to be warmer. ss ssesssE

HABITS nF TIE TIGER.
How They Capture and Eat Their Pray
FnIso Notion.


How They Capture and Eat Their Pray
A False Notion.
zone who has settled the question"
writes as follows in the Pail Mall Ga
zette: In paper read before the Bonn
bay Natural History Society recently,
and published in its journal, Mr.. In
verarity. noted shikari, discussed the
habits of the tiger, and especially the
mode in which it kills and eats its prey.
Some think he seizes by the throat, others
by the nape Of the neck from above Mr..
Inverarity has examined scores of slain
animals with special reference to this
point, and in every case but one the
throat was seized from below. Whether
dislocation of the neck takes place is
doubtful.
The tame hunting leopards always kill
by pressure on the windpipe without
breaking the skim possibly the tiger kills
in the same way. Ii Is only by accident,
if at all, that tigers in killing sever any
important vein or artery, and no blood
to speak of flows from the throat wounds.
Having killed, the tiger almost invaria-
bly, begins eating hindquarter, consum-
ing one or probably both. Animals are
never eaten where they are killed. hut
are always dragged q short distance.
They are not lifted clear of the ground,
but dragged. Having gorged himself.
the tiger sometimes lies close to his prey,
but If 1t is hot weather and there arc
hills in the neighborhood, he will 90 n
long distance off before resting for the
day. He returns next night and finishes
what is left, but he never eats second
time on the same spot, dragging the re-
mains of the prey forty or fifty yards off.
The tiger takes about two hours steady
eating to finish the forequarters of a
bullock Tigers are cannibals; they will
make their meals off each other. They
are supposed to kill once in five or six
days, and no doubt, the tiger, after a
heavy feed, does not care TO hunt much
for few days, but tiger kills when
ever he can. They have been known to
kill on fourteen consecutive nights, Mr..
Inverarity believes that animals killed
by tigers suffer little beyond the panic of
few seconds. The shock produces q
stupor and dreaminess in which there is
no sense of pain or feeling of terror.
The powerful stroke of the fore paw
of the tiger is fiction; he clutches with
his claws as one might with the fingers,
but does not strike blow. Tigers
wander immense distances at night, and /,
as they like easy going, they go on paths
and roads. They do not like to move
during the heat of the day, as the hot
ground burns their pads and makes them
raw. They can on occasion climb trees.
In Salsette one climbed after a certain
Pandoo, but could not reach him and
retired. The Pandoo, thinking the
coast clear, got down and ran toward
home, but on the way was caught by
the tiger and killed. The inquest re-
port stated that "Pandoo died of the
tiger eating him; there was no other
cause of death. Nothing was left except
some fingers, which probably belonged
to the right or left hand" Natives have
belief that the ghosts Of the man.
eaters victims ride in his head and
warn him of danger or point the way to
fresh victims.

THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

The new York Politicians GossIpfnE
''o About Its Probable Future.
The question which New York poll
ticians are asking each other now is,
says the New York correspondent of the
Baltimore American, what will become
of the County Democracy as political
hall In past elections 1t was a power,
dividing the spoils about equally with
Tammany, and almost rivalling in num-
bers the older organization controlled by
Richard Crocker. Two years ago Hew-
lit, its candidate for Mayor, was elected
in q triangular fight. While the Mayor,
il is true, was Endorsed by Tammany
Hall, it was the County Democracy that
named the Union candidate and con
trolled about the lions share of the
patronage of that important office two
years before Mayor Grace, who was
identified rather with the Counties than
with Tammany, won the election, and
the younger hall had control Of many of
the appointments.
With its increasing power it grew in
solent Under the leadership of Maurice
j. Power, selfish politician, the County
Democracy began to grow in disfavor.
Prominent men left the body to associate
themselves with an even more corrupt
organization, and just before the last
election the shrewder politicians saw the
beginning of its downfall. Its rival took
advantage of its apparent weakness and
named candidate for mayor, while the
counties relied on Hewitt to restore them
to power AS is we'll known now, Mr..
Hewitt, although he received some sup
port from the Republicans, failed igno-
miniously. He was third in the race,
while every Tammany candidate was
elected, giving to that hall dangerous
amount of power for the next two years.
The County Democracy are completely
shut out, and now being without offices
may not be able to hold itself together
for another election. 1t may soon follow
the late Irving Hall and other political
bodies that have gone out of fashion with
a loss of power. 1t is doubtful, indeed,
if it can exist without offices, and with
the most tyrannical an autocratic leader
ship, and there will be very few honest
citizens to weep over its dead body.
The power of Tammany seems to in
sure its existence for long time to come,
| and perhaps continuance of its former
record. 1t is a matter of surprise to
many people, who acquire residence in
| New York, that the number of its adher-
ents should embrace the names of men
who would be the first to denounce Off
cial corruption. 1t is n well-known fact
that the Tommany candidate for any
office, if successful, is little more thar
an instrument Of that corrupt politica
body He must make the appointments
which Tammany demands, and be phi
acle 10 It's hand.
AS an organization, Tammany is com
pact, well handled and well equipped
It's power is far reaching, and may b.
welded successfully for or against an,
one in the city Of New York and in tn,
State who aspres to public Office. ]
has tremendous fascination for those
who seek political prefermentas Dem
