Where Big Game Still Abounds.

According to the administration report
of java, recently laid before the Dutch
chambers, portions of that is
land are being depopulated through til
gers. In 1882 the population of q vii
lage in the southwest of the Bantam
province was removed and transferred to
an island off the coast in consequence of
the trouble caused to the people by IT,
gers. These animals have now become
an intolerable pest in parts of the same
province. The total population is about
600, 600, and in 1887 sixty-one we're killed
by tigers, and in consequence Of the dread
existing among the people, it has been
proposed to deport the inhabitants of
the villages most threatened to other
parts of the country, where tigers are
not so common, and where they can
pursue their agricultural occupations
with q greater degree of security. At
present they fear to go anywhere near
the borders of the forest. The people
at present seem disinclined, or they lack
the means and courage to attack and de-
stroy their enemy, although considera-
BILE rewards are offered for the destruc-
ton of beasts of prey. In 1883 the re-
ward for killing q royal tiger was raised
to 200 fiorins. 1t also appears that the
immunity of the tiger is in part due to
superstition, for it is considered wrong
to kill one unless he attacks first or 9TH
erwise does injury. Moreover, guns
were always very rare in this particular
district, and since n rising few years
ago, have been taken away by the au-
thorlties altogether. -LOnd0n Times.

Hollands Agricultural Products.

The soil of Holland is very fertile,
and being extraordinarily well irrigated,
is adapted for rich grazing growths;
consequently the country enjoys pre-
eminent yield in dairy products, and,
as indicating to what extend, there may
be cited as single instance the fact
that in one item of butter and butterine
it exports to England $25, 900, 900 worth
annually. Holland could not crush its
old rivals supremacy on the seas, but it
cclipses her to-day in making butter, so
true is it that time sizes up all at last,
communities as we'll as individuals, ac-
cording to what they best can do.
Always noted for their horticulture
and abundant exports of garded pro-
duce, the Dutch originally discovered
and improved what are called the
artificial grasses, which, by supply
ing more abundant fodder to animals,
and much more as we'll as more nutrit-
ious hay, rendered it possible to increase
stock on land. They have the title
of discovering the use of that vaIu-
nble article, clo5er, as wei as many
others of like nature, and both nat
uralized and improved upon them,
and of having been the first to
teach other nations how to preserve
cattle in sound condition through win
ter, and to Danish diseases by the con-
slant supply of wholesome, fresh diet.
Their cattle have long en-, and still
are, among the finest of Europe, and
their dairy pro lucts find really sale,
not alone in England, but in continental
countries. The cattle are exported for
breeding and dairy purposes. In their
garden products .thsEshaye carried the
cultivation of Vegetables, ltasshl lily of
the potato and turnip, to o high state
of perfection, and with valuable gain
resulting, since it is intimated that three
times as many inhabitants nowadays
can live in comfort on the small extent
of ground as could be maintained with
out risking absolute dearth of food. I'm
proved agriculture has been thoroughly
developed; two thirds of the whole area
of land is highly cultivated wheat, rye,
oats, buckwheat and barley, being prin-
cipal products there being total yield
in grain crops of, 10000, 900 of bushels,
and, alter one way or another, every
particle Of the territory is made to fur
nish some means of support and profit.
The contemporary Gus Hollanders are
slow and methodic, but they are by n o
means incline d to rest idle with 50 much
work confronting them, so many urgent
needs requiring the utmost vigilance,
to begin with the threatening waves of
the ocean which would overwhelm them
in general destruction without the ex-
listing artificial barriers.

MexicO's Railway Progressiveness.

Railroad Building is going on almost
as merrily in Mexico rs in this country.
A railway contractor who has just come
from the city of Mexico, says that over
800 miles CT railroad were built there last
year. Of this the Mexican National,
the roai owned by Leland Stanford and
CT Huntington, constructed 400 miles.
The railroads have done more towards de-
veloping the natural resources of Mexico
than anything else. The first coal mine
ever operated in the republic was dis
covered on the Mexican Nationals line.
The great fuel was shipped all over Mex
leo, and it had the effect of reducing the
price in the City of Mexico from $22 to
$15 per ton. The National has now
about 200 miles of road. The Mexican
Central runs south from Ell Paso, Texas,
and has about 400 miles of track. The
most profitable line is run by an English
syndicate, and runs from Vera Cruz to
the City of Mexico. The Europeans
control, for the most part, the Mexican
trade. All iron used in that country,
save mining and agricultural machinery,
comes from Europe. The latest indus
tries are the cotton manufacturing es-
adjustments, the raw material being
shipped from Texas.-NeO York

Wise Ducks and Simple Swans.

Sportsmen who have visited Sauvie's
Island lately say that the number of
swan at present "using" in the lakes
there is something wonderful, being
much greater than was ever seen there
before. 1t is said that there are 1000
on Morgan's Lake, and at least 10000
on Big Sturgeon, and one man says
there are 10000.
The swan are fasting on wapatoes,
and the canvasbacks and other ducks
are getting share. Mister Swan goes
down and pulls a lot of the luscious
wapatoes, allowing them to float to the
surface. and then he comes up and draws
q long breath, and if any of the wapatoes
are in sight he takes them in his bill
and washes and rinses it carefully be-
fore swallowing it. The chances are
howe, er, that the ducks who have been
watching around have pounced on the
wapatoes, and, without waiting to wash
them, have swallowed every ono of them,
and are sitting at safe distance "look-
ing as if butter would not melt in their
mouths, and waiting for the swan to
dig up some more.

crops in some localities, and its effect is now
being seen in diseases among farm animals
Almost every day cases of roup, swelled head

A Man of Muscle.

Several years ago an artist of Dresden
persuaded locksmith there to give up
his trade and become an artists model.
1t was a good thing for the locksmith,
who is now the famous muscle man of
Dresden" whose magnificenty develop
ed body makes him probably the most
renowned model in the world. In order
to preserve for future artists an exact
duplicate of his extraordinary figure the
director of the Royal Saxon Povzellan-
fabrik at Nielsen recently invited him
there that cast from life might be taken
of the upper part of his body. 1t is said
that chs muscular development is so
complete and tained that even the
least and slightest cord of every muscle
stands forth prominently. aud his
whole body looks rs if it were woven to-
gether or plated like basket work. His
muscles have such hardness that they
feel to the touch as if they were carved
in wood.

Tho man who limits himself to two

THE Australian desert which was once
supposed to cover the larger part of the
interior of that continent is going to the
way of all other deserts that have failed
to stand the test of exploration. just
as the early explorers of the African
coasts filled all the regions that had not
been visited with uninhabitable wastes,
so a great part of inner Australia has
been repEesaatea-as4Ata s=l< -ssaltseless ia

was somewhat shaken in 1872, when
Giles found Amadeus Lake 200 miles
long at its geographical centre; and the
few explorers who have since visited in
ner Australia have whitfield off great
sections of the desert and put forests
and streams where only sand was sup
posed to be. Sir Samuel Davenport, in
an address at Adelaide short time ago,
said that the recent travels of Messrs.
Lindsay and Tietkens had proven that
inner Australia was by no meane Sa-
haran waste, and, though now uninhab-
tied, it was capab of supporting large
population.
