Sizes in Tiger Skins.

That the Royal Bengal Tiger is
no inconsiderable beast is a we'll
known fact, but to even give an APP
proxi.nate guess on the length OF
one of the monsters skins would
puzzle many persons who really be-
lieve themselves to be naturalists.
For the benefit of those who wish
to appear to be loaded with animal
statistics and facts of all kinds,
says a writer in the St. Louis Re-
public, I will say that the length OF
the largest tiger skin ever taken
(after being stretched and dried
was 13 feet 81 inches. This must
not be taken as meaning the actual
length of the living beast, for the
skins expand surprisingly while un-
dergoing the curing process, q green
skin Of 10 feet being accounted q
wonder; in fact, Mr.. Inglis, the
recognized tiger authority of Great
Britain and India, says that the
greatest known length of an un
dressed skin was 10 feet q inches
tits believed, however, that the pre-
decessors OF the present tribe o
Bengalese cats were from q fifth te
"a third larger than the gigantic
striped feline that roams the lndlaI
iungles of to-day, and that the ole
stories of their carrying off full
grown oxen are not exaggeratlons

Gold in New Guinea,

A novel party of gold-seekers win
sail tomorrow on the Monowai for
new and, it is claimed, rich fields in
British New Guinea, says the San
Francisco Chronicle of the Oath ult.
The party is headed by Joseph Nc
Caulay, who has been there before,
and is credited with having been
successful in mining in that dis
tant region. McCaulay is an old
Californian, and in the old days
mined in many different places on
this coast. Michael Surley of Chile
Gulch, Calaveras county,. Grogan,
California and Idaho miner, ex-
Manager Heuke of the Oakland
Water Works and some others.
They will take along complete
hydraulic machinery and appara-
tus, and on their arrival in Sidney
will have two other hydraulic ma
chimes made there. Then they will
push forward to Cooktown, North
Queensland, and from there sail for
the new fields. They expect to be
gone four years, and in that time
get all the gold they want.
Cup to this time only four white
men have penetrated these fields"
said Mr.. McCaulay yesterday,
land I candidly believe they. will
prove the equal of California in its
palmiest days. In fact l believe
they will be better. We will be in
partnership together, and having
our hydraulics, I think we will get
out lots ofgold. Hitherto in Brit
ish New Guinea only the pick and
pan has been used. Nothing in the
shape of modern apparatus has
been introduced there.
Gas for the cannibals l do not
anticipate any trouble there. If
you go little way into the interior
of course you must look out. 1t is
dangerous there, and the natives
will kill and eat white man as
soon as they set eyes on him. Nc
Gregor, the English Governor, is,
however, able to protect white men
anywhere along the shore. He
keeps vessels cruising around all
the time"
Much interest is centered in the
expedition. When they get fairly
started at gold digging they will
also engage in trading, beech
lamor, ambergris and other things
being among the articles they will
handle. Mr.. McCaulay was at one
time owner of the Union mine, Cal
averas county. He thinks he can
clear up pretty we'll toward 81 ,000,-
900 on his own account during the
four years. The party have been
making their headquarters for some
DAYS at the American Exchange.

Dnties of the Marine Band.

The Marine band is considered
in a manner to belong to the Presi-
dent of the United States. Accord
ing to the Washington Star, it is
always at his disposal, that the fin
est music is at his command when
ever he cares to listen to it. At
White House receptions it is on
hand with it's most mclodious
strains. Every member of it must
enlist in the ordinary way, serve five
years as a private at s15 a month,
after which he may be promoted
through the grades of first, second
and third-class musician. A first
class musician gets $50 month ;
a second-class $21 month, and a
third-class SIT month. The leader
draws $50 month. There are
thirty musicians and ten privates
in the band. Every man of them
gets $48 year extra for playing in
summer at the grounds of the Cap
itol and the executive mansion.
At the first glance it seems aston
ishing that first rate musicians
should be willing to eerve for such
small pay. The fact is that, as q
rule the men enlist for the sake OF
the prestige which they obtain from
five years service in the Marine
Band. After serving out this term
they have become attached to the
organization and commonly remain
with it. They enjoy many privileges
which go far to make up for the
small remuneration which they re-
ceiye. They are permitted to earn
money outside by concerts and 9th
erwise, in this way making grea'
many dollars.

A Real Bad Man.

At Opelousas you may hear even
vet of certain noted character
whom we will call La Bleu, whose
reign was not so long back but
what many men can still remember
it. La Bleu was man Of great
stature, perfect shot with a rifle
or revolver, and totally devoid of
personal fear. He had been known
to shoot negro dead because the
latter did not take off his hat to
him upon the road. He rode about
the country and did as he chose,
and if the wife of any man suited
him he would send word that such
and su ch day he would call and
ask for her. A refusal meant death,
and so none refused.
Judge Martel, man noted for
his courage and determination, had
occasion to call session of his
court for certain day. La Bleu
sent word that court would not sit.
Judge Martel sent back word that
court would sit just the same. La
Bleu returned his compliments and
said that if the court did set that
day he would be on hand and
then and there kill the Judge pre-
siding. Judge Martel replied cour-
teously that he would be at home
on the bench then and there and
would be pleased to receive Mr.. La
Bleu's call.
When the day came around court
did sit and Judge Martel was on
the bench. La Bleu entered the
courtroom and walked boldly down
in front of the bench. A word and
his hand sought his weapon. Al
that instant-bang! bang two
bullets struck him and he fell dead
Judge Martel had had men posted
to uphold the dignity of the law,
They obeyed their instructions to
the letter. This ended the La Bler
DYNASTY. Judge Martel is still alive

How Deaf Mutes Dance.

"I never felt so lonesome in my
life," said gentleman recently, "as
when l chanced to be thrown one
day with a party of deaf-mutes.
They could understand each other,
laughed and carried on and had a
good time generally, while [ sat
like a mummy, apart, looking on,
but unable to participate In any OF
the fun.
Zone thing that surprised me
greatly was to see them indulge in
dancing. / had always supposed
that it was absolutely essential to
hear the rhythm of the music in
order to keep the time of waltz or
polka. To be sure they had an or
chestra and for time l regarded
that as peculiar, for few, if any, of
the party could hear the strains.
"After little thought | solved
tbs mystery. The mutes could not
hear the music, but they felt it,
which was just as effectual. 10 be
sure of the matter I spoke to the
leader of the orchestra and he as
sured me that my surmise was cor
rect and that when he was employed
by the party it was expressly stipu-
lated that he should bring his big
gest bassdrum and bassviols. The
deep tones were more vibratory than
the others and the mutes kept ex.
cellent waltz time by feeling the
vibration of the wood flooring, upon
which they danced. Million.

of his interment crowded her draw
ing room almost to suffocation. A
lady friend of the widow edged her
way up to her and, pointing to
something very bright and shining,
visible above the heads Of the assem-
bly, in remote corner of the apart
ment, whispered in her ear. "Say, is
that a new eight-day clock What
dye gin for sich?" 4'It's not a
clock" sobbed the disconsolate
widow, 'it's the dear departed. We
sot him on eend to make room for

eight-day clock was indeed the
"casket," richly ornamented with
silver nails, bosses and handles, to
which the deer departed had been
consigned.

Using Camels In Australia.

Although the camel proved un-
satisfactory for use as beast of
burden in the mining regions of
Nevada and Arizona, the animal is
rapidly coming into favor and prof
liable use in mining countries in
other parts of the world. 1t seems
probable to the Mining industry
that in South Africa the camel will
take the place of the horse for most
uses, as the camel is not injured by
the insects which prove fatal to the
horse and the bullocks, nor is it at
tackled by the diseases that destroy
other beasts of burden.
In Australia the camel is fast
taking the place Of bullocks for use
in the barren interior regions. 1t
is stated that there are already
opened up and in regular work in
Australia five lines of camel traffic,
ard that on these lines over 1000
camels are in daily use. Camels
are found to be so useful that the
number employed will be increased
as rapidly as possible. With bull
lock teams only about ten miles a
day can be made, but it is found
that the camel will travel eighty.
four miles in eighteen hours, carry.
ing load Of 800 pounds. In the
interior of Australia are over ,OOO,'
600 square miles of almost unknown
desert, and it is on the great inland
plains that it is intended to utilize
the camel trains, as by their use the
various oases of civilization may
be more directly connected than BY
the old bullock routes. On tht

A Short History of Stoves.

The cook stove, as we'll as that
for heating, is in its comparative
perfection matter of the past so
years. To those who can 60 back
to that time, the expedients by
which our grandmothers brought
their edibles to such state that
they were even digestible would be
marvel to those who never had
the fortune to have the experience
of genuine camp life. The tin-baker
and the bake-kettle have passed
away, and, through many evolu-
tions, the modern range, with hot
water attachments, and the fold
ing gas stove, have left little to be
desired. The stove is an invention,
however, of antiquity, traces of 1t
having been found in the historical
annals of China and Japan, and
fragments unmistakably point
ing to such an article we're found
in the ruins of Pompeii.
Large, clumsy stoves were made
at an early day in Holland, Ger
many and England, and to this day
in those countries. the same form
and styles to a considerable extent
are used. In Italy, at the present
time, in the small towns, an iron
box resting on the ground, with
side handles and rude holes cut for
draught, is used. In some cases
even iron is not employed, but in
it's place terra Gotta and stone are
substituted.
The stove in America is chief in
it's civilizing tendencies. TO get a
good stove in the country districts
is the first thought of a married
couple, and the advantage of every
available pattern are fully dis
cussed in advance. The American
stove dates back to 1742, and for II
credit is due to the busy, level brain
of Benjamin Franklin. 1t was then
the open front, or departure from
the ordinary fireplace. This stove
was introduced into England, and
everywhere the Franklin" as ap
Piled to its peculiar form, is known
to-day. 1t held sway long into the
present century, and then inven
tions and Improvements rapidly
followed one another, beginning
with the ordinary air-tight (ove'

Toe Weights for Tr0tters.

The discovery of the fact that to
improve the speed of many trotting
horses it is necessary to weight
their forefeet was made in a rather
peculiar and amusing way. About
thirty years ago Edward Butler,
the well-known and wealthy Demo-
cratic politician of St. Louis, Mo-,
was struggling young journeyman
blacksmith. He was at that time
in the employ of man who was
the owner of several trotters in the
interior of New York State. The
horseman had entered one of his
horses in race which was about to
be contested, and on the morning
of the day of the race had exercised
the trotter on the track. When the
horse was taken back to the stable
it was found that he had Host shoe
from one of his forefeet. Black
smith shops and horseshoers were
not so plentiful then as now, so
young Butler had to 60 all over the
track to find the lost shoe, but was
unsuccessful in his search. He was
in dilemma, as he had no stock OF
shoes on hand and the nearest place
where he might get shoe was q
wagon shop three miles away.
Off he went for the wagon shop.
only to be disappointed, as the only
shoe to be had was large, heavy
one. The horse had to be shod, so
on went the big shoe. When the
owner saw his horse later in the day
he made the air blue with profanity,
but as there was no help for it the
shoe remained on. The horses got
away pretty we'll together, but it
was noticed that the trotter with
the big shoe would throw his newly
shod foot much farther forward
than he would the other, and his
| speed seemed much increased. AT
any rate he won the race. The
owner had another heavy shoe put
on his other foot after the race, and
when given trial it was found that
his strides were much longer and
his time much faster, so that ever
since weighing has been in COM
mon practice.-St. Louis Dispatch.
