tue Dog ON Top In the F ight.


We know that the world-the great big
world
From the peasant to the king,
Have the very same tale-the tale we tell
The very same song we sing.
Hurah for the dogi the great big dog!
Be the big dog wrong or right
The world will shout for the dog that wins
The dog on top in the fight.
And as for men, they care not fig
Whether 1t be wrong or right,
They always go for the stronger dog
The dog on top in the fight.
No one ever stops to ask, you know
Whether 1t be wrong or right;
Their hearts all beat If they beat at all
For the dog on top in the fight.
The poor little dog that bears the hate
That comes from the big dogs might,
Can nothing do but yield to his fate
The dog on top in the fight.
Perhaps what we We said were better not said
But then, we are surely right;
Let the big dog kill the little dog dead.
He's the dog on top in the fight.

A Model Kitchen.

n AAO9OA AAAeSAAOA1s
If the countless people who COM
plain of the badly kept dining-rooms
and the dirty Kitchens of many of the
Los Angeles restaurants could peep
into the culinary department attached
to the Hotel Westminster, they cer-
tainly would be convinced that it, at
least, was exempt from all reproach.
1t is equipped with every appliance
calculated to make work easy and
cooking palatable. 1t has a mammoth
range, commodious refrigerator, a
large closet especially designed for
butter, and pantry packed with spot
less dishes and cleaning ilverware.
But better than all the rest is the plan
upon which it is conducted. Warren
jerks, of culinary fame, is the COM
mander-in-chief. for fifteen years
he has served in the capacity of head
cook; while at various periods he has
been identified with many of the
leading hotels in the United States.
He prides himself upon the variety
of his accomplishments, and takes
particular delight in getting up novel
dishes. The dining room, too, is ad-
mirably managed. 1t is under the
supervision of T. M. Marsh, a
waiter of well-known ability,
and who is surrounded by a
corps of experience mattresses. One
of them, Miss Gertrude Eastwood is
young lady who was educated for
teacher and who finds her chief pleas
ure in such writer's as Ella Wheeler
Wilcox. In speaking OF her work she
says: II prefer the hotel to the
sohoolroom because it is more
healthy. Besides, 1 always keep in
remembrance the advice my mother
gave me when l started out; and so l
am never treated with anything but
respect" So much for common
sense and good character.

Hidden Death IN Africa.

Central Africa is the finest hunting

deer and antelope. Then the whole
country is covered with traps to catch

stake rising up in the middle, the whole
rooted over with turf and grass, SO
exactly like the forest bed that only the
trained eye can detect their presence.

sciously on a narrow neck between two
of these pits, when a couple of steps to
either side would almost certainly have
meant death. Snakes, too, and especi-

every pool, the sharpest lookout is

Designations by Which Famous Artists Are
Known Among the Craft

Designations by Which Famous Artists Are
Known Among the Craft.
Perhaps no class of men have been
so frequently known by their nick
names-fOr in their case the designa-
tions deserve no better name-as the
disciples of art, especially the Italian
painters. 1t may be that the bo-
hemianism of the craft, it's uncon-
ventionality and freedom from cere-
mony, lends itself especially to this
practice. Certain it is that many of
those who know something of the
names at any rate by which celebrated
artists are usually known, would find
their powers of recognition taxed to the
utmost were they to see catalogue of
some famous gallery, the Louvre,
for example, where the paint
ers are all designated by their
real names, and where, instead
of the familiar Raphael and Titan, they
must look for Santi and Veceli, and in
place of Perugino and Correggio, they
find Vanucci and Allegri. These may
serve as specimens of two easily multi
piled classes of designations; the one,
to which we might add Michael Angelo
and many another of lesser repute,
showing the exclusive use of the
Christian name long after surnames
had become customary; the other, in
Guiding names no less famous than Da
Vinci and Veronese, besides a minor
host, instances of local expectations.
Claude Lorraine, the great landscape
painter, may be taken as an example
OF one of the many artists who COM
blne these two somewhat commonplace
sources of unconventional nomenclat-
ure. Others inherit their names in a
manner somewhat different from what
is usual. Thus three names high in
artistic fame reveal to us, the
profession of the fathers of their
most celebrated bearers. The
brothers Pollaiuolo, workers in metals
as well as painters, were, it is general
ly asserted, so called from their fathers
profession of .spoulterer,' which the
word signifies. In view of this Cir
cumstance, perhaps, we may imagine
that familiarity with the victims dis
played in the paternal shop had some
thing to do with the excellence of the
quail modelled by Antonio on the bronze
gate of the Florentine Baptistery, of
which Vasari says '.it wants nothing OF
life but to fly" Another family trade,
which would seem to promise little in
regard to art, gave to Andrea Vanuc-
chi, whose perfect execution gained for
him in his own day the title of ''the
faultless," the appellation OF del sarto
(of the tailor). Tintoretto, again, is
the diminutive applied in childhood to |

HABITS OF TIGERS.
Some of the Peculiar Ways of the Striped
Beauties of the jungle.

Some of the Peculiar Ways of the Striped
Beauties of the jungle.
One very curious point is the method
in which the tigress teaches her cub:
to kill. This she does by disabling the
animal attacked so that it can no
make its escape from the cubs, who
then complete the work. Mr.. Inverar
ity himself witnessed a scene of this
kind, Or at least came on the spot just
after it had been enacted, and when
the marks were so fresh as to admit Of
the whole story being read at glance.
An old bull nilgai had been the victim,
and the tigress had disabled him by
breaking one of his right fore-legs just
below the knee. She never touched
his throat, the usual place of selling,
but allowed the cubs to mangle the
disabled brute. Mr.. Inverarity
| frightened the three tigers from
the carcass and secured a
photograph of it in it's chen
condition, showing how the throat had
not been lacerated. He got second
photograph next day, after the tigress
and her brood had again visited the
spot and completed their meal. In the
end he succeeded in shooting the tigress
and one of her cubs.
Mr.. Inverarity has a number of 9TH
er photographs, which show the ap-
pearance of a tigers prey after the first
meal. His experience goes to show
that the animal first devours the
headquarters, while, if tiger and
tigress are together, the one
eats at the headquarters and the
other at the fore-quarters. Again,
when a tiger has not devoured the
whole carcass and returns to his kill
the next night he never eats at the
same place, but drags off the remains
of the carcass forty Or fifty yards be-
fore beginning operations. Therefore,
sportsmen sitting over kill tie it by
the foreleg to tree. Otherwise the
tiger would creep up and be off with it
without stopping a second.
Mr.. Inverarity has timed tigers when
at their meals and has found that a
full-grown tiger takes two hours
steady eating to finish the forequarters
OF a bullock. He dissipates the myth
about the ''sledge hammer stroke of
the forepaw of the tiger showing that
the tiger simply clutches with his
claws exactly as a man might clutch
another's arm with his fingers. He
also gives variety of curious informa-
ton about the immense distances tigers
wander during the night: how they
keep the jungle-roads and footpaths,
avoiding the more difficult, tangled
underground; how they are partial to a
dust bath on the roads, rolling about
in it with evident satisfaction; how
they do not like moving about in the
heat of the day, as the hot ground
burns the pads of their feet and makes
them quite raw; and how they are
discovered sitting in pools |
of water in the heat of the day.-Times |

A SCOUTS STORY.
His Fearful Ride Among Hostile and
ood-Thirsty Indians.

On the 18th of April, 1867, left For
Hays, Kas., to carry a note to the
men at Lookout Station, nineteen miles
away, telling them to beware of In
dams. The red devils had cut loose al
along the Smoky Hill route, and were
thirsting for blood. All the stage sta.
lions, with one or two exceptions, were
prepared for Indian attacks. That is,
each station was garrisoned by three
men, armed with the best weapons, and
the building was bullet-proof. As a
further security the men dug for them
selves a circular hole in the ground,
covered it with timber and earth, and
by firing from the loopholes could stand
off any number of Indians. This dug
out had an underground passage from
the stable, and was always stocked with
water and food. Lookout Station was
one of the exceptions. Why dugout
had not been provided I don't now
recollect, but it was because of this
negligence that Twas sent out from the
fort. Twas then in Government service
as a scout, and was paid for carrying
my scalp to any point convenient for
the Indians to take it. Within fifty
miles of Fort Hays there was at least
one thousand Sioux and Cheyennes on
the warpath. Between the fort and
Lookout Station / might encounter a
hundred. On that day thirty warriors
had come within five miles of the post.
and INDUCED in yells of defiance.
left the fort soon after dark, mount
ed on a genuine Mexican mustang and
armed with a sixteen shooter and re-
volver. While the direct route was
bad enough for any traveller, had tG
plan for a worse one. My only hope
of getting through would be to avoid
the travelled line. I got well away,
and then took my bearings to keep a
route about five miles to the left of the
stage road. This would take me over
some very bad pieces of country, but
prudence commanded this policy. /
knew when set out that it would be
all night in the saddle, as the ground
would be too broken to permit of a fast
pace, and up to midnight, when / had
made a distance of ten miles in the
right direction, the mustang had
scarcely broken his walk. It came on
pretty dark, with ugly clouds driving
across the sky, and every few minutes
there was gust of wind which had
warning in it. While all my senses
were keen and alert, / depended much
on my horse. He had campaigned in
Mexico, and would be the first to de-
fect signs. It was about midnight
when he suddenly stopped dead still
