THE DOG WAS ASTONISHED.
And So Was the Actor, Who Thought He
Had EN- Again"

81 once played a cruel joke on John
English, one of the old stock actors that
have now about disappeared from the
stage" said Robert Stevenson to the
StOry-TellerS' club, that was killing
time in the corridors of the Laclede,
says the ST. Louis SGlobe-Democrat.
John was great lover of a practical
joke, and several times made me the
victim. One season he was doing the
smaller cities with Rip Van Wrinkle
and had with a beautiful white dog that
had played Schneider I got hold of
Schneider one night when John was
playing at Brownsville, Tex, to a
packed house and painted him all the
colors of the rainbow. Rip did not see
Schneider until he obediently trotted
upon the stage. When he caught sight
of his dog he did not at once recognize
his faithful companion, and, being a
very nervous man, grabbed a chair.
sprang to the far side of the stage, and
stood on the defensive. Schneider
realized that something was wrong and
went crawling to his master on his
stomach. The actor thought it some
kind of a wild animal that was about to
spring upon him, and, throwing the
chair at Schneider, was about to rush
off the stage, The dog emitted a plain
tive ki-yi and English stopped, looked
at him, advanced to the footlights, and
said impressMely: I'll whip the coyote
that made an Italian sunset of that

CITY PARKS.
Chicago Well Provided with Free Recre
alton Grounds.

An American gentleman, writing to
Garden and Forest from England,
notes two things in particular which
help the people there to get more for
their money in the way of recreation
than we do here. One of these is the
enormous amount of common land so
easily accessible from the great cities,
and the other the fine roads for bicy-
cling, a form of recreation in universal
vogue. In his native city, Cincinnati,
this gentleman remembers that it was
almost impossible for the boys to have
q game of baseball, and the few places
then available are now covered with
buildings. He saws: None of Cincin-
natl public PARKS are ever used for
games, and l don't think many of our
western cities allow such use of their
parks. Here nearly all the parks have
immense spaces reserved for cricket,
tennis and the like, and the London
vestrles are continually acquiring new
lana for recreation purposes" While
Cincinnati is exceptionally backward
among large western cities in providing
proper park facilities, the charge of not
permitting a sufficient use of the parks
Tor games would certainly not hold
against Chicago, where the people en-
Joy the parks to a remarkable extent.

GOOD WORDS FOR THE TIGER

GOOD WORDS FOR HE ii1ER.
The Ferocious Animal Is b Necessity In
India-Some OF Its Uses.
The tiger is not such very great
misfortune to the neighbC rhOod where
he bappens to have fixed his abode. His
chase gives pleasure, excitement ant
exercise to the many har d-worked off
cials. whose lives woul d be those of
uninterrupted routine Were it not for
this recreation 1t is also of great as
sistance to the district officials, accord
ing to Harper's Magaz me, as it makes
them much better acquainted with
the people under their charge, and they
get to know out-Cf-the-way places,
which, but for this sport, they would
never have visited. The tiger is very
necessary evil in India, and were it not
for him deer and wild boar would in
crease to such numbers that the Guilt
walton of the land would become an i'm
nnense hardship and almost an impossi-
bilitv. He keeps them within bounds
and relieves the ryots from watching
their fields by night in the unhealthy
localities.
We are accustomed in England to
hear constant war preached against tins
animal for it's total determination, but
this ought only to be in cases of the de-
structive cattle killer or man eater, and
these ought to be got rid of at any cost
The villagers are always extremely
careful of their good cattle, watching
them well and keeping them grazing OF
the border of fields where they are
working, and would be very sorry /
the tiger were exterminated. OF course
they themselves are often carried off BY
man eaters. But tigers of this class are
, luckily very scarce.
Tigers are still numerous in the state
of Mysore, and panthers have otter
been killed in the city itself quite re

Raises Her Own Tea,

Mrs. Increase Sumner, of Starke,
Bradford county, raises her own tea,
and has treated her guests to cups of
the homemade beverage, which was
pronounced delicious. She says that
owing to rapid growth she has to cut
off the bushes every three or four years,
while in China this is done only once in
seven years. She gathers three crops a
year; the finest tea costs fifteen dollars
a pound, but will not stand a sea voy-
age, and never gets farther than Russia,
but her bushes furnish it to her for the
picking,

HIS SHOT WAS A BULLS EYE.
But He Didn't Explain That He Painted

But He Didn't Explain That He Painted
the Target After Firing.
A New York broker, who is well
known on the stock exchange for his
nroclivities as a practical joker, made
considerable fun for some Of his asso~
ciates few days ago. He IS soJourn-
ing in the country at the present ana
dispensing Inequalities to number OF
his comrades. He is rated among
them as particularly bad marksman,
and SO it was, says the New York Her
aid, that when he took numbers OF
them around back of the barn one
morning and showed them a target
painted on the back of the barn and
bullet imbedded in the very center OF
the bull's-eye, the first inquiry was:
'Who fired the shOt?'
81 fred it and from distance Of two
hundred yards, too" was his earnest
reply.
ooh! rats! ratsn'
Come off, now"
"You could not hit the barn at that
distance"
But he persisted in his assertion and
finally suggested that perhaps some OF
his friends would like to bet on it. He
got two bets, one for dinner for the
crowd and another for a case Of cham
payne He then brought out two wit
| nesses who solemnly declared that they
! had seen the shot fred by him from {
distance oft wo hundred.yards and from

suspicion and the bets were paid.
During the jubilee that followed Thu
broker confessed that he had painted
the target on the barn after he hat

Fors nf Fnsects and Animals,

1t would be quite natural, Of course,
to look on the side of the head of any
living creature providing he had a
head for the organ of hearing; such in
vsstigation, however, no odds how
thorough, would be void of results in
many instances. In the clam it is found
in the base of his foot or feeler. In
the most of grasshoppers it is in the
fore-leg, while several species of insects
have it in the wing HOLSTERS and
crabs all have the auditory sac at the
base of the antennn or feelers.

HUNTERS FOOD IN AFRICA.
Koodoo, Eland and Elephants Trunk
Among the DelicacIes.

South Africa may sometimes be near
ly as hot as India, but there the hunt
er, though a sybarite by temperament,
must be a Spartan by training, says
the Saturday Review, and almost neces-
sarlly he must be IN tip-tOp condition.
He does his severe exercise in the saddle
or on his own shOeleather. He cuts his
communications with the camping
place for the day, and knows nothing
of soda water or sandwiches. The air
may be hot and the work has been
hard, but he seeks the wagons at sun
down, empty and ravening. If the
locks of his liquor case have not been
tempered with, if he has been in fair
sporting luck and if he be happy in a
tOlerably thoughtful HottentOt cook,
all is well. The supper is ready to be
served in response to warning shot
from his rifle and he sits down to his
haunch of kOodoo, or his sirloin of
Gland, or 70 his fricasseed slice of ele-
plant trunk, with sand grouse to fol-
low. Harris and Gordon Cumming
dwell rather on the killing of game
than on the eating of it. Yet they
sometimes record wonderful perform
ances after prolonged fasts; and like
Livingstone and Mofat and other illus
trious missionaries, they own to the
feeling of inexpr essible bien etre which
stole over them when nature had been
sOOthed and satisfied with some plenti.
full but simple meal. The worst was
that sometimes, when the sport had been
exceptionally gratifying, there would
be what We're comparatively banyon
days. Eland is as good as beef. and
more is the pity, since the ox-like an
telope is disappearing. But the noble
camelopard, though he fetched high
prices on the Boulevard Haussman dur
ing the siege of Paris, loses caste sadly
when he is stripped of his giants robe;
the beautiful water buck tastes fishv.
like most amphibious or water haunt
ing beasts, and the still rarer roam an
te1ope has worse faults still.
