tiger was caught in Il trap. We knew
it was the same, for not more than one
is found near a village at time. On
an average four or five people were
killed by tigers OH this road in the course
Of a year. They generally seize their
prey after dusk, and for this reason it
is never safe to travel Oh these roads
after six O'Clock at night. 1t is said
that tiger often selects his man during
the day, and perhaps follows him for
miles, until overtalken by dusk, when
he springs on him. Two gentlemen were
once walking over a pineapple planta-
ton, when they discovered that they
were followed by a tiger. They were
three miles from home, and, having
nothing but shot-guns for weapons,
could not fire at the animal. He kept
at the same distance behind them all
the way, and they reached home before
he ATTEMPTED to attack. The natives
are in constant terror of these animals,
and it is almost impossible to send them
out after dark. l have paid twenty
dollars to a native for taking message
to the Maharajah after six o'clock at
night.

NEW YORK, Feb. i8.-Up to o'clock
this morning seventeen inches of snow
had fallen in and around New York
city since yesterday afternoon. This
is the heaviest snow fall experienced
since the blizzard of 1888 and great
difficulty is being experienced il,
travel. Great drifts are piled up in
the streets, and the street cars and
other vehicles get along slowly. The
wind blew gale during the night and
it is believed that all the railroad trains
will be greatly delayed by the
drifts. During the night the snow
came down in great binding sheets
and RIVER steamers kept up an incess'
ant footing of fog ilcrns to avoid col
lisions. The thick ice in the upper
Hunson began to break up this morn
ing and great cakes came whirlng
down, making navigation extremely
dangerous The snowfall seems to
have been greatest in southeastern
New York. An attempt was made to-
day by the Street commissi oners to get
additional carts to carry away the ac-
cumulated snow in the streets, but the
ontrdctOrs raised prices so high none
could be obtained.

Loss of limb shortens the life, but the

Mr.. Isaac Holden, NJ. P, is S6.He ap-
pears about 60, and in the small hours
Of the morning, when the house of COM
mons is having late sitting, he looks
fresher than anyone else. The Bradford
Observer has lately published an inter
view in which Mr.. Holden explains the
way to live long, says London Truth.
The normal duration Of life, it would
seem, is 12O years, being five times the
period it takes for the bones to harden.
II people consume much lime their az
teries become OSsified and the capillary
vessels blocked up. II their brains are
cut into when they are reaching midlife
it is like cutting into a sandbag. To ar
rive at a normal old age a man must
talk good deal Of walking exercise and
see that the air is frequently changed
in the rooms in which he lives. Starch
diet produces acidity in the blood, and
has to be converted into sugar Of fruit
before it is aSsimilable. A meat diet is
also undesirable. The meals must be
regularly taken, and eating and drinking
must not go together. Mr.. Holden's
daily bill of fare is as follows: For
breakfast and supper he takes one
baked apple, one banana, one orange,
twenty grapes, and biscuit made from
banana flour with butter. His midday
meal consists Of three ouncesof beef
or mutton. reduced to powder in NOR
tar and then passed through cOlander,
with half cupful Of soup occasionally
poured over it. Theory is all very well,

Main Road in the YelIowstone Parie
DESTROYED by an Earthquake.
BoZEMAN. Mont, Feb. 18.-Dr.
Charles u. Plummer of this city has
just returned from the Yellowstone
National Park, where he went to look
over the transportation company.
The doctor reports that series of
earthquakes have been felt in the
park during the last few weeks, one
OF which was the most terrific
eruption since the discovery of
the park. The main road south
of Norris Geyser basin caved in
for long distance and to an unknown
depth. In one place there remains
huge gap in the earth about seventy
feet wide and probably several hun
dred feet in length. Marks left by the
recent ehrihq lake are rlainly visible
in I'm Der III places. Large chande-
liers anu lamps IN the hotel at Norris
basin were knocked down and two
persons in the building at the time
were very much frightened. The
course OF the road CT he basin will
have to be materially changed, ~ tho
damage is SO extensive that IL can
nev.v be rebuilt.
