The AMIR'S TIGERS,
BY CLARENCE PULLEN.

A certain September evening, years
ago. found Gordon Trautwne in India,
in the province OF Sindh and the city Of
Haiderabad. This young electrician, in
the employ of the Inlo- European Tele
graph Department, hal arrived 10y boat
from kurrachee two days before
learning that it would be a week be-
fore he could get up the river, he haL
taken .ut!artcre at the holse Of resident
Who often entertained European visitors.
This bungalow. near the river side. was
a large, rambling ediIice Of one story
with the usual extensive vcrandas, wide
doors and windows. Although situated
in the heart Of the city, its grounds were

ing the fourth side. The street passing
the front wall was considerably higher
than the level Of the ward. The one
room was nigh and spacious, and the
large windows at the back, overlooking
the river were protected by strong iron
gratings, which admitted the cool breeze
from the water. The single entrance to
the building was ia front.
To reach the main house Gordon had
to 60 into the compound and pass
through low doorway in the dividing
line between it and the gardens. In his
own yard was kept the buffalo COW
which supplied the milk used 10y the
household.
On his second night at the bungalow
Gordon had sat in the main building,
one of a company agreeably entertained
by m Isle and cards until near midnight.
At last, the goodnightS having been said,
he passed into the open air and went to
his room to 90 to bed. His native lamp
was little open vessel i'll which cotton
wick tloatcd in cocoanut oil; this he eX'
tineuished, and, clad III ais pajamaS,
dived between the mosquito curtains AMI
composed himself to sleep.
Some people who were in Haiberabad
quarter of Il century ago VIII remember
Amir Talphur's two great tigers, cap
tured in the Sahkar junglcs, and kept IN
captivity at his palace. Such persons
will be likely to recall the night when
both these savage beasts escaped and SET
the town in an uproar. Their cages
were found empty with broken bars, ana
the mangled body OF native watchmau
lying IN by-street indicated the route
they had taken This episode occurred
on The night OF which | write.

Not Entirely CORRECT.

A subscriber writes to the New York
Sun as follows: / have dispute with
friend about the head on she silver
dollar l say that this Government is
bound by treaty of 1776 to keep the
picture Of the ruling sovereign of En-
gland on its coins, aud so the present
has Queen Victoria's face on it, Ny
friend says I'm all wrong. Please de-
eide.
To this the editor replies: You're
not entirely correct, Pat; in fact, you're
little wrong. To tell the truth, Pat,
your contention needs considerable
changing before it will be correct; in
fact, it needs to be altered entirely. If,
now, you were to say there was no
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain in 1776--that was the
beginning of the Revolution, Pat and
that there never was treaty which
bound the United States to keep the
head of the reigning sovereign of
Great Britain on its coins; and that we
never have kept the sovereign's head
on our coins, and that the head on the
silver dollar is not Queen Victoria's
head-then. Pat, you would be right.
As it is, Pat. you're wrong. Whew!

Making Oil of sassafras.

An interesting description is given by
Mr.. r. C. Harris, of North Carolina, in
Popular Science Neies, of the process used
in the manufacture of the oil Of: sassafras
and oil of pennyroyal in the old North
State. The apparatus used in this work
is so exceedingly rude and primitive as to
appear ridiculous to most observers. The
still is constructed by digging short trench
in the ground, ending in low fue or Chin
ney, and over this trench is placed closed
wooden box, having sheet-iron bottom
and an anger hole on top, through which
water is poured An ordinary barrel stands
endwise on top of the steam box, and has
several holes bored through its bottom,
and also through the top of the steambox,
allowing steam to pass freely up through
the barrel. A lutte of clay is used to close
the joint between the lower end of the bar
rel and the steambox, as well as the cover
of the barrel. Instead of "worm, tin
pipe, immersed in trough of cold water,
is used. and a steam connection with the
barrel is generally made by an elbow branch
of wood, bored out with an auger. The
sassafras tree ISdssqfras oficiadle) grows
abundantly in this section, especially on
worn-out lands, where it is usually found
in dense thickets of small shrubs. The
root is dug and washed free Of dirt, and,
after being chopped short and bruised with
hatehet, is ready for the "still. This
work is done by boys, employed BY the
manufacturer, who pays stated price per
hundred pounds for the root ready for use.
When the barrel is filled with the roots
and the cover made tight with clay the
process of distillation goes on rapidly. The
steam passes through the mass Of bruised
roots, and is condensed by the tin tube into
a mixture of distilled water and oil, and
runs into glass vessel set 10 receive 1t.
Being Of different densities, the oil and
water rapidly settleinto two strata, and at
once can be decanted from the other.
1t is said that the operator of such I,
"still'' can pay all running expenses and
make a clear profit of SO per day. When
! we consider that the cost Of establishing
such afactory' is less than $40 for th'
. entire plant, and no chemical education 4
necessary on the part Of the operates. tn,
returns Of the work are not 70 be desplsed
The same outfit is used 10 this, as th'
making Of oil Of pennyroyal, which grow

THE SCHOOL MARIN.

From the Washington Critic.
Oh, school marin
Thou who teachest the young idea
How TO scoot, and spankest the erstwhile
Festive small boy with hand that taketh the trick;
Who also lameth him with hickory switch,
And crowneth him by laying the weight
OF a ruler upon his shoulders
OH
Thou art daisy
Thou maketh him the national emblem
Red white and blue
Thou furnisheth the stripes.
And he seeth the stars.
Oh, School Marm,
We couldn't do without thee
And we don't want to try
Thou art lovely and accomplished
Above all women and if thou art
Not married. it is because thou art
Too smart to be caught that way
All school marms are women,
But all women are not school marms.
And, angels pedagogic,
That's where thou hast the bulge on thy sisters!
Oh, School Marin!
Thou mayest not get much pay here below,
But cheap education is national speciality,
And thou wilt get thy reward i'll heaven;
The only drawback being that thou stayest there
When thou goest after it, and we.
Who remain here below for our reward,
Miss you like thunder.
School Marin, ifthere is anything we can do for You
Call on us!
Apply early and avoid the rush.
Office hours from a. m. to p. m.
We were a school boy once ourself
And can show the marks of il!
