Tnresistinr Prey to Tigers

There are some unfortunate Indian
villagers who appear TO live all their
lives 10 constant peril On the one
hand stands the man-eating tiger; on
the other the Arms act warns them
to beware Of acquiring lethal weapons
They have nothing for it, therefore,
but to trust everything to official pro
lection, and this, it appears, some.
times proves anything but safe
guard. Only the other day the mis-
cradle inhabitants Of Anami, ham,
let in Bengal, implored the Lieuten-
ant Governor to take action before
they we're gobbled up.
A particularly hungry tiger had es'
tablished itself close to the village,
and almost every day witnessed a
fresh outrage. At one time, the
beast showed a preference for cattle,
and the milky mothers Of the herd
had their ranks thinned. But this
kind Of fare required to have its mo-
notony relieved at intervals by the
substitution Of "long pork" with the
result of some inhabitant becoming
acquainted with the digestive tigrine
apparatus.
The villagers we're quite willing to
make war upon their striped foe; at
least they professed to be. But they
rossesse1 no arms, that being for
b dden by law, while the state did
not attempt to afford them any pro-
lection beyond the general offer OF
rewards for tiger killing.
Similar cases are ty no means IN
common; they often come to light in
the native papers, by which they are
lduced as arguments for the abrO-
CATION Of the Arms Act. That rem
edy would be far worse than the dis
ease: if all the people in Indian we're
allowed to carry deadly weapons
there would be no end to battle, MUIR
der and sudden death. Efficient
state protection is the proper RENE
dy for an evil which would scarcely
exist at all but for the interference OF
the state with the liberty Of the sub
Jet.
Perhaps the Indian Civil Service
examination will hereafter include
some tests of sporting proves; it is
much more necessary kind OF educa'
ton than many Of the subjects which
are taken up.

The Russian Peasant.

Easily satisfied, INDECENT, self-indul-
gent. weak, the Russian peasant does
not care to rise in the world. SO long
as he can exist and allow his ife and
children to exist, and so long as he can
obtain for cash or credit vodka enough
to keep him going, he is content. He
has no idea of any higher civilization,
or of any sort of home comfort. For
the rest he loves his little Father, y
the Tsar fears God in a superstitious
sort of way, and the Lieshui wood
spirits and other supernatural objects
of his National folklore in very real
way; observes the church festivals
with bibulous piety; attends church
at Easter; tolerates his wife, and
knows absolutely nothing of the af.
fairs either of this world or of the next.
But education is making great strides,
and the younger generation is growing
up with advantages to which its fore
fathers we're strangers. Light is steal
ing gradually over the land Would
that it might chase away the drink
demon With the vodka evil reduced
TO moderate dimensions, there would
be chance even for rural Russia. =
