The Cottagers of Dunvegan.

We went the next day to Dunvegan. The
road lay over long miles of moors, with now
and then beautiful distant views of the
mountains Of Harris, but pale blue shadows
on the western horizon, and Of the high peaks
of the Cuchullins, dark and somber above
the moorland
Here and there at long intervals we came
to the wretched groups Of cottages we had
begun to know so WELL Old witch like women
and young girls passed, bent double under
loads of peat or seaweed, so heavy that were
the same thing seen in Italy, English people
would long since have filed columns of The
: Times with their sympathy. As it is, these
burdens are accepted as a matter of course,
or sometimes even as but one Of the many
picturesque elements of Highland life. From
one writer one hears of the Skye lassies, half
hidden under bundles of heather, stopping to
laugh and chatter From another, of Lewis
women knitting contentedly as they walked
along with creels, bearing burdens that
would have appalled, q railway porter Of the
south, strapped to their backs We saw no
smiles, no signs of contentment. On the
faces of the strongest women there was look
of WEAKNESS and Of pain. But perhaps the
most pathetic faces in this land of sorrow
were those OF the children, already pinched
and careworn.
The chief complaint was the same wher-
ever we went. I'VE have not enough land;
we could and would pay rent willingly if we
had more ground to cultivate. As it Is. our
Grofts are not large enough 20 keep US in
food" The outside world has been busy
watching the battle in Ireland. Little at
tention has boon spared to the Highlands

Where Children Are Stolen.

Incidents have recently occurred in Naples
which remind us of what happened both here
and in Sicily some thirty or forty years ago.
A cry was raised then that "poisoners" were
about inficting a fearful suffering under the
name of cholera. Suspected persons were
hunted in the streets as though they were
wild beasts; humanity in an active form was
regarded as a crime, and benevolent persons
prescribing or giving remedies TO sufferers
were in universal danger of becoming victims
of popular fury. Many years have passed
since then, yet under different name very
similar facts have occurred within the last
few days. 81 rapiUori di fanciulli" tine cap
tors Of children) has been the cry of alarm,
and perfect panic ensued Mothers shut up
their children in their houses. The doors Of
the infant and higher schools were besieged
by crowds of weeping women looking for
their children, and giving orders to the mis-
tresses not to intrust them to any but trust
worthy persons commissioned by the rela-
tives.
In spite of all efforts to disabuse the minds
of the ignorant, the panic continued. There
were not many children said to be missing
but where were tl4y2 AS is always the case
in such circumstances, reports were circu-
lated by i'll disposed persons sure to find be-
levers among ignorant multitudes Per-
haps the panic was due to a certain extent to
an order lately issued by the government to
the projects of the kingdom to compile a
statement of those who live forgotten in the
streets, without houses or families. l am
not surprised, however, at any amount of
excitement in city and province where the
purchase and sale of human beings for the
most degrading purposes, if not connived at
have not been suppressed far more rigidly
than they have been. Thanks to interna-
tional regulations. however, between Italy
and the United States, this tremendous evil
will be at least greatly checked-so far as re-
CARDS those countries.-Naples Letter in

JIM NO. | AND jim NO. z.

ut is true, NJ Roger, If ever you should
do anything evil to Jim l should hate you,
and I'd never forgive you, never, neverl"
And Mile Armande Plagnolles nonchalantly
threw herself back in her chair and passed
her taper finger with caressing gentleness
across the lustrous and downy skin Of Mas
ter Jim.
The cat-a superb cat, Jet black from head
to tail, so black that in certain lights bis fur
gave out metallic refections-pur1ed louder
and louder, stretched out his paws, Of
pearlsh white, and blinked at Roger In
way that seemed to say: TRY it, my friend;
try it, you'll get the worst of it certainT"
Not at all alarmed by the threat and the
wicked look in Jim's eyes, M. Roger de
Gramont responded hypocritically:
Evil to Jimf NeverI What made you
think it'" And he, too, advanced his hand to
stroke the cat, perfdiously hoping, Of course,
to touch instead the fingers of its beautiful
mistress.
And she was pretty, truly, adorably pretty,
this Mile. Armande de Plagnolles; demi-
blonde with red-brown hair, curling and
twisting into the most enchanting waves;
rather tall, neither fat nor lean, and with
eyes Of astonishing depth and color.
looking, accomplished, well built, broad
shouldered, with limbs supple and vigorous.
Roger advanced his hand, as I've told you,
and Jim received it, not with the dignity you
would expect from the throne he occupied,
but with a mastery stroke of his claw that
opened the flesh to the bone and made the
blood fly.
"The miserable beastw cried the young
man Indignantly, for once unable to repreSs
the truth
The property of the De Gramont family
was considerably larger than the chateau or
villa, rather, of the Plagnolles estate, and
stood in vast park rolling and wooded, and
with an extended view of the Seine. Roger
was wrong in laughing at Armande on ac-

HABITS OF THE TIGER.
The Mode in Which 1t Kills and Eats
Its Prey.

In paper read before the Bombay Natural
History society recently, and published in its
journal, Mr.. Inverarity, a noted shikari, dis
cussed the habits Of the tiger, and especially
the mode in which it kills and eats its prey,
Some think he seizes by throat, others by the
nape of the neck from above. Mr., lnverarity
has examined scores of slain animals. with
special reference to this point, and in every
case but one the throat was seized from be
low Whether dislocation of the neck takes
place is doubtful. The tame hunting leopards
always kill by pressure on the windpipe,
without breaking the skin; possibly the tiger
kills in the same way. 1t is only by accident,
if at all, that tigers in killing sever any i'm
portant vein or artery, and no blood to
speak of flows from the throat wounds
Having killed, the tiger almost invariably
begins eating hind quarter, consuming one
or probably both. Animals are never eaten
where they are killed, but are always
dragged a short distance. They are not
lifted clear of the ground, but dragged.
Having gorged himself, the tiger sometimes
lies close by his prey, but if it is hot weather
and there are hills in the neighborhood, he
will go a long distance off before resting for
the day. He returns next night and finishes
what is left, but he never eats a second time
in the same spot, dragging the remains Of
the prey forty or fifty yards off. The tiger
takes about two hours steady eating to finish
the fore quarters Of 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 heavy feed, does not care to hunt
much for a few days; but a 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 a
few seconds. The shock produces a stupor
and dreamiuess, in which there is no sense of
pain or feeling of terror The powerful
stroke OF the fore paw of the tiger is a fiction;
he clutches with his claws, as one might with
the fingers, but does not strike a blow.
Tigers wander immense distances at night,
and as they like easy going they go on the
roads and paths. 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 report
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 Pail Mall Gazette.

Distance Run from New York to San

The livelest interest was manifested by
railroad men in the recent account Of the
race between the Flying Scotchman" and
the "West Coast Flyer" from London to
Edinburgh, in which 400 miles were covered
by the winner in seven hours and twenty five
minutes. This was an average of something
over ffty-three and one half miles an hour.
There was a general jogging of memories and
overhauling of the records of fast railroad
trains on American lines. And much com
fort was found by many in going over those
records.

Talents are deeds to do, or duties done,

AS Is the impulse given,
They wither here upon the earth.
Or ripen here for heaven. Robert Mcguire

A SPIDER AND FRoG.-A gentleman
tells US that in company with another he
was walking along the banks of a stream
when their attention was drawn TO a noise
near them in the water. Il was ascertained
that the noise was caused by g fight between
a monster spider and frog. Whenever the
two would come together the spider would
seize the frog with his poisonous fangs; the
frog would then by supreme effort shake
his enemy off and hop away to peculiar
looking plant which grew near, aad after
biting oil portion of its leaves and eating
them would return 10 The combat with re-
newed energy The two gentlemen
watched this interesting combat tor leng
time, when one of them concluded that he
would keep the frog away from the plant,
which it seemed to be using rs antidote for
the poison of the spider. So when the frog,
as usual, started for the plant after being
bitten, be kept him away; the poor fellow
made frantic efforts to get at it, but was pre-.
vented, and in a few moments the poison of
the spider, not being counteracted, took ef-
feet, aud the poor frog expired.-MecHen'
