The Kingwood and Tunnelton
Railroad was sold last week under
the deed Of trust, and bought by the
syndicate of gentlemen who opened
the road last winter. The original
stockholders lose every dollar OF
their stock, including the $4,000
put in the road by Kingwood dis.
trict. There exists considerable
feeling on the part of the people of
Kingwood against the syndicate,
by reason Of the bad connections of
the trains and general management
of the road.

THE democracy have been and gone
and done it. The presidents free
trade message and the Mills bill are
both heartily endorsed by the national
convention and the issues are fairly
joined. In Texas it means free wool
or protected flock masters. The results
will determine how much more po-
tent is party lash than a great ma
tional interest. Let the free trade DEM
ocracy triumph and this generation
will not see the end of the evils en-
tailed upon American industry, COM
merce, manufactures and labor. The
hand of progress on the dial of events
for this country will have been turned
a quarter of a century backward. The
, fight is upon the country and after an
other two weeks the issues will be
fairly made up. Upon one thing the
democratic party may be fairly con-
graduated, and that is in that they
had no use for pension poltroon Black.
He was incontinently relegated to the
rear and his withdrawal from the race
did not even have the grace ola volun-
tary act. 1t may teach even war
democrat lesson who turns traitor,

betraying for a mess of pottage the
interests of those whose birthright he
is supposed to defend.

The plague in England, described by Dafoe
as an eye witness, though he was not an In
FAINT in 1865 and 1868 when it ragged, though
terrible, was not to be compared for severity
with the plague OF 1916; as many died, in
deed, perhaps more, but in d much larger
population. 1t began il the autumn Of 1865,
but the cold winter of l665-l666 greatly
checked its ravages, and many hoped that it
would altogether disappear. But with the
carly spring Of 1866 deaths from the pesti-
lence began to be announced, until presently
it began to be recognized that the real attack
had commenced. The symptoms were akin
to those observed during the plague of Flor
ence but sometimes death came even more
rapidly. In July 1900 died weekly, but by
September the weekly number of deaths
from the plague had risen to 5000
The dead were buried together in certain
fields, then suburban, now within London
proper There is one triangular space mot
built ON between Brompton and kensington
where large numbers were buried. Many of
the dead were buried in the fields at present
occupied by the houses on Golden square,
and it was noticed that during the visitation
of cholera in 1S49 the disease seemed more
malignant in that region, but whether this
was due, as some surmised, to the opening of
drains communicating with the trenches in
which the plague stricken were buried in
1865 and 1866 seems open to considerable
question.-Richard A. Proctor.

A good hearted Harlem clergyman has for
six month been the victim Of a beggar, who
always told him the same story of not hav-
ing had mouthful to eat for twentyfour
hours He made the very common mistake
of answering the appeal with a dime or a
quarter. A few days ago several of his par
ishioners told him about this perpetually
hungry man and how he had received finan-
cisl aid from them
Yesterday the good dominic was the recepi-
ent of visit from the hungry man. This
time he had tasted longer than usual
My poor fellow, you must be hungry"
said the clergyman, sympathetically; come
down with me to the kitchen"
The beggar's face fell, but he followed At
the masters bidding the cook placed an enor-
nous roast, from which the clergyman cut
an enormous slice There, my poor fellow,
eat your flu The fellow ate, not daring to
refuse, and, as his plate became emptied, the
clergyman, with ferocious hospitality, re-
plenished it again and again. The beggar
ate until it became positively painful tc
watch him. After he had eaten about three
ordinary meals the clergyman relented and
dismissed the beggar with an invitation te
call whenever he felt hungry.-"Miss Justice

1t is true that the young wife and mother
Is more often too self sacrificing than other
wise She sinks her own individuality alto
gether too much in the service of her family.
1t is the easiest thing TO do to reserve nothing
In the way of devotion, but it is not the
wisest way 1t develops selfishness instead
Of thoughtfulness in the beloved ones whom
whom she served, and it too often happens
that the wife and mother who denies herself
constantly In waiting upon others, and de-
mands no consideration for herself, wakes
later in life to find that she has made mis-
take. Out of the fullness of her heart she has
given more than she ought for the sake Of
her family as well as herself.
The daughter whose comfort has always
been consulted before that of her mother,
the son whose hours OF study or play must
never be interrupted for his mother sake,
the husband who knows that his wife is q
saint for unselfshness, impose unconsciously
upon her goodness. And they developa dull
ness of sympathy, an unreadiness to think OF
her needs which is as hurtful to their owr
moral growth as it is heartbreaking and in

VIII agree heartily with him. Another
urges that the prevalent evil is due largely
to the fact that children are allowed to ram
BILE freely after dark, and he certainly is
right in saying, Keep them at home"
But back of all, and more important than
all such specific remedies, there must be
genuine arousing Of public sentiment At
present many of the very people whose chill
dren belong to the ungovernable class do not
themselves think the matter one of serious
importance. Perhaps they used to have the
run Of the streets when they were young,
and escaped harm, or do not yet understand
how much harm they received. Perhaps
they would rather that their children be-
haved better, but know that their own slack
ness long ago caused them to lose all control
over their boys and girls The number of
parents is sadly large who have learned what
it is to be openly and impudently defied by
their own offspring. In any case, we all
need to wake up to the fact that such parents
and all parents must be toned up to do their
duty --Congregationalist.

HABITS OF THE TIGER.
The Mode in Which It Kills and Eats
Its Prev,

The Mode in Which It Kills and Eats
Its Prey.
In paper read before the Bombay Natural
History society recently, and published in its
journal, Mr.. Inverarity, 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.. Inverarity
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 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 dis ance off before resting for
the day. He returns next night and finishes
what is left, but he never eats second time
in the same spot, dragging the remains Of
the prey forty or fifty yards of. The tiger
takes about two hours steady eating to finish
the fore quarters of a bullock. Tigers are
cannibals; they will make their meals of
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 o
| few seconds. The shock produces 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
be clutches with his claws, as one might with
the fingers, but does not strike blow
| Tigers wander immense distances at night
and as they Ike easy going they go on th'
roads and paths They do not like to move
during the heat of the day, as the hot grounC
burns their pads and makes them raw. They
can on occasion climb trees In Salsette on,
| climbed after a certain Pandoo but coulC
| not reach him and retired The Pandoo
thinking the coast clear, got down and RAJ
toward home, but on the way was caught b.
the tiger and killed The inquest repor
stated that "Pandoo died of the tiger eatini
him; there was no other cause of death
Nothing was left except some fingers, whicl
probably belonged to the right or left hand.
