him ''and you had better stay and

so Miss Dolly"
Charlie looked from ME to Dolly's
tear.stained face and decided to stay.
1t was necessary that l should 60 in.
to the kitchen to look after the prep
arations for tea. just then, SO have
no idea what they talked about, but
it was SO interesting that Dolly was
still there when tea was ready and she
needed but little urging to stay; and
after tea Char lie found that he had an
GRAND down her way, and they went
off togethee.
1t must have been a matter OF i'm.
portance, for he mover returned home
until nearly l2 o'clock, and then he
came in whistling and singing, quite
oblivious of the fact that people were
in bed asleep.
Well, forgave him. l enjoyed his
happiness so much that could have
forgiven him if he had runy all the
bells in town. or sung Hold the Fort"
under my window. l think, on the
whole, he behaved with great decorum.
for he only went mp stairs three stairs
~ q time. and did not turn q somer-
sault over the banisters, as expected
he would.
1doh't know as have much more
to tell. never saw two persons so
well adapted to one another rs they
seem TO be. They are still young, and
life is all before them. May the future
be as bright rs the present promises.
1t is all their best friends could desire.

Doing Up a Man.

stood leaning against a lamp-post at
the corner of Woodward avenue and
Congress street recently to enjoy the

him from a doorway for some time
walked up to him held out mis- hand

"Good!" whispered the other.
Don't give yourself away, but look
out for the peelers. Any OF 'em can

And he went back to his DOORWAY.
while the other man got red and white
by turns and finally moved off down
the street. He had no sooner left the
post than the other took his place,
and as he rubbed his hands together
he chuckled:

Not Pets for the Parlor.
Cassell's Family Magazine for March.

| SaSeeii IuilIIy thhhstHtHe lOF MurCn.
1t was my good fortune to see more
OF tame tigers i'll India than falls to
the lot OF most persons. There are
many men who have shot tigers, but
my opportunities for taking care of
them and observing them in a state
OF captivity were almost exceptional.
My friend, the Rajah OF Burdwan, had
u very good menagerie in the gardens
of one OF his summer palaces and we
used frequently to meet there and 90
around and inspect the animals. Tie
Rajah had little difficulty in procur.
ring tigers, leopards and bears, which
are to be found IN many parts OF his
extensive estates. But the best of his
tigers were two which had been pro-
cured from the Province OF Dude.
One of these were called Vizeer, and
the other had received the name of
Bheem, because the natives said he
was Hindoo and would not eat beef.
So Bheem lived chiefly on goats flesh,
while Vizeer had no scruples rs to
what he would not eat. The real diff
ference between them was this. Vizeer
was caught when he was full.grown
and had for O long time been Obliged
to hunt for and kill whatever he
wanted to eat. Bheem was captured
when very young, and had been
brought up by hand on q milk and
rice diet, which had been changed to
cooked goats flesh when he grew up.
Bheem had never tasted blood rtak.
en- life. He was accustomed to be pet.
ted and patted by the keepers, and
was. in fact, beautiful big cat.
Eizeer was very different charac-
ter. He was very large and hand
some animal. 1t was the custom to
give him occasionally a pig or goat
20 kill, as it is almost essential
to the health of a tiger, which
has fed on wild animals OF his own
killing. that he should sometimes
taste fresh blood, and eat some OF the
flesh with the hair on it. Vizeer used
to be shut up in the inner compart-
ment of his den. whilst the pig was let
down through grating in the roof in
to the outer compartment. Before
the pig had time to understand the
situation, the door OF the inner den
opened, AMI Vizeer sprang out. With
his fore-paws he seized the pig. and
the next moment the huge Jaws closed
over its neck, so that death was in.
Simultaneous. Vlzeer never relaxed
his hold until he had drained the
blood from his victims body. lie
would sometimes at once proceed to
eat hind leg, carving the ham with
his sharp teeth and bristly tongue as
neatly as a cook could have cut it
with a knife. Vizeer would then com.
pose himself to sleep, and in the
course OF the following night he would
gradually consume the rest OF the car.

be fed again for two or three days.

What Divers See.

"The most unpleasant thing diver
can meet is the dead body of a human
being" said u member Of the craft to
a member OF the New York Sun cor.
respondent. "lt is popular delusion
that all drowned men come to the
surface after several days. Probably
they woul.i,if they were left alone and
were not attacked by wharf rats, cells
and fishes. But in the Hudson they
are always attacked in this way with.
Ill an hour or two after they are sub.
merged. Once attacked that ends it.
The breaking of the skin ditfuses
something,it may be u scent. and then
everything travels for that body to
get square meal. Long before
decomposition it is so cut
and riddlel that what gases are
formed have chance to accumulate
and initiate the walls OF the abdomen.
We divers never touch bodies in this
state, because it brings the worst luck
possible. The only exception to the
rule know was the body OF a man
who had committed suicide. He had
tied around his neck a bag OF some
heavy stutf-shot or lead pipe it may
have been-nnd had jumped in from
n ferry.boat or q plerhead near to
shore. When l came across it. it was
dllated with ITS own gases, and SEEM
ed, in the half light under the water,
to be stout man tryin, to swim to
the surface, but anchored down by n
heavy weight. There was so much
travel that 1T had kept the fishes
away. A single cut OF my knife sever.
ed the cord, and the body rose to the
surface, where it was found and alter
ward identified as that OF a German
cobbler, who had been drinking 10 ex.
cess. Other somber objects beneath
the water are the remains OF wrecks
and wornout boats. Most are grey
and black in color, naturally. They
become covered with greenish scum
and slime and with the dark ooze OF
the river. They are OF no value, and
so we never bother ourselves about
them.
"rhere is very little romance or
beauty about q divers life. The
white sand beaches ana coral floors,
the brilliant colored fishes and the
exquisite forests OF the sea. that the
reading public never weary OF in Jules
Verne and other lying writer's, do not
exist. It is cold, dark, filthy ana
dead. The first time you go down
there is novelty and excitement
about it which are very pleasant.
When these wear off you feel like the
grave diggers vino every morning go
to work i'll the great cemeteries. You
must be quick, alert and sober. You
must keep your eyes and ears always
open, and be ready for anything. II
you don't, you'll probably feed the
fishes"

There was on exhibition at the Tex
MS state fair large tcrolite which was
found among the Comanche Indians
by State Geologist Raester in 1853
The Indians had known OF the stone
for generations by tradition as the
"thunder stone," and said it had fall
en- from the sky. They were accus-
toned to visit it where it lay partial
~ buried in the earth, to whet their
knives and arrow points upon its
sides, believing that their weapons

consist in parts: Iron, sS.75; nickel,

manganese, and traces of magnesia, SO.

How General slckles Cured .
Condor.

Condor.
The condor, or South American vul.

birds. and SO fierce and powerful that
in its native freedom no creature can
meet it in successful combat. Gener.

general thus tells the story Of his vol

The man who owned this bird had
captured it when very young. 1t was
fastened by chain around one leg to
y etake driven into the ground. The
sight Of the bird made q great i'm.
preston on me.
1t was about seven feet in length.
and the distance between the tips Of
its wings when outspread was about
sixteen feet. 1t stood nearly three
feet high. Its talons were as long as
my fingers. Its eyes were as large as
pigeons eggs. and blazed with q light
which no captivity could subdue.
/ saved that condor's life. One of
its legs had been attacked by q little
insect peculiar to South America.

In excruciating agony. ] have seen
natives lying beside South American
roads, their bodies swollen as large as

One of the condor's legs had been bad
ly lacerated by the inroads OF this IN.
sect. l told the owner Of the bird that
could effect cure, but he laughed
at me.
Said he, "You do not dare go near
him. He has killed three dogs. have
seen him take a dog by the scruff of
the neck with his beak, and then tear
a pound of meat from his ribs"

thus unable to use his formidable
beak, although he tried hard to do so.
Two men held his sound leg, while l

bandage the condor's leg in cotton
soaked i'll oil. Three days later paid
another visit to my patient. This

pense would be enormous, involving
relays OF some thirty natives to carry
the condor to the coast, besides his
care on shipboard; and SO Central

specimens Of the great South Ameri-
can condor which has ever been taken
alive.-New York Sun.
