MEN TIGERS OF INDIA.

A Strange Superstition or the Ignorant
Natives
The belief is very general through
out India that men are turned into
tigers by eating of certain root. 1t
is supposed that tigers who destroy
many human beings are men who have
partal1en of this peculiar root The
SariInant, chief of Deori, related to the
author of ''Rambles and Recollections'
the following anecdote:
''The tigers which now infest the
woods from Sagar to Deori are neither
more nor less than men turned into
tigers-a thing which often takes place
in the woods of central India. The
only visible difference between the two
is that the metamorphosed tiger has
no tail, while the lora, or ordinary
tiger, has very long one.
''In the jungle about Deori there is
root which if man eat of it he is con
verted into a tiger on the spot; and if
in this state he can eat of another root
he becomes a man again. When was
a boy a melancholy instance of the
root eating occurred.
MY fathers washerman, Raghu, was,
like all washermen, 4 great drunlxard; !;
and, being seized with a violent desire
state of a tiger, he went one day to the
jungle and brought home two of these
roots and desired his wife to stand by
him with one of them, and the instant
she saw him assume the tiger shape to
thrust it into his mouth.
''The washerman ate his root and
became instantly tiger, but his wife
was so terrified at the sight of her hus-
band in this form that she ran off with
the antidote in her hand.
''Poor old Raghu took to the woods,
and there ate good many of his old
friends from neighboring villages; but
he was at last shot and recognized
from the circumstance of his having
no tail.
''You may be quite sure,' concluded
Sarimant, ''when you hear of tiger
without a tail that it is some nnfortu-
nate man who has eaten of that root,
and of all the tigers he will be found
the most mischievous.'
The Sarimant religiously believes
the truth of this story and so do his at
tendants and mine; and out of a pop
ulation of thirty thousand in the town
of Sagar not one would doubt the
story of the washerman if he heard it.

An Odd Type of Man Peculiar to the
Wholesale business Houses.
From all outward appearances the
most import tant men-in their own es-
tiInation-in the large wholesale dry
goods establishments of the city are
the doorlzeepers- In this respect they
occupy positions analogous to their
prototypes, the fioor-wallxers of the re-
tail establishments, says the New York
Herald.
No doubt the positions have their re-
sponsibilities, and what positions have
not in a large business house, from the
humblest two-dollar-a-weelz office boy
and porter to the head of the establish
ment? Responsibility, therefore. is not
monopolized by the doortenders and
affords no reason for the fine assump-
tion of superiority which the actions
of the men imply.
The duty of the doorkeepers is pri-
marily to take the time of the sales
men and clerks on entering and leav-
ing the stores, shaking hands with hay
seed customers and bawling out the
names of the statesmen they desire to
see in stentorian tones. In addition to
these they are expected to exclude
peddlers and beggars and to see that
no one removes small parcels of mer-
chandise unless they bear the proper
''out check of some one in authority.
It is in the manner in which these
simple duties are performed which
makes many of the doorkeepers ridicu-
lous. They would be obnoxious were
they not so supre mely absurd. In a
voice, the volume of which might do
credit to the late Count Johannes in
passion, and with a look supposed to
strike terror to guilty soul, one of
them stationed in Broadway jobbing
house overawes little messenger boys
and creates in the minds of some of
the firms humber customers an i'm
preston that he is powerful factor in
the firm.
This latter quite possibly is what
the man desires to do, for as a sup
posed power these simpletons seek to
propitiate Cerberus. They drop an oc-
casional cigar into his hand and some
time during the winter probably send
him turkey or big pumpkin. With
the proprietor of the peanut-stand on
the corner and the bootblacl1, both of
who are prIviledged to ply their trade
in consideration of keeping the side
walk clean, he exercises mild system
of blackmail.
The vender, in return for his favored
glances, supplies him with peanuts and
apples; the bootblack shines his shoes
for nothing. No newspaper boy is per-
mitted to enter the store without the
understanding that he is to give the
doorkeeper paper. Such are the per-
quisites of the position of doorkeeper
in wholesale downtown house. Not
all of them, of course, accept these
petty tyrannies, but some of them do,
and display very contemplate spirit,
too, in doing so.

Turned the Hose ON rhem.

A twenty-round glove contest, which
gave better satisfaction than any ever
held in Livingston, Mont, took place
there recently. Before the contest it
leaked out that it was to be a rank
fake, and arrangements were made to
give it a fitting reception. Time was
called shortly after ten o'clock, and as
soon as the principals entered the ring
a section of the city hose was coupled
onto hydrant near by. By the time
the third round was called everything
was in readiness, and while the prin-
cipals were engaged in carrying out
the ranl1est of fakes rush was made
J for the front window, nozzle was
thrust through the glass and the full
force of the water was turned into the
ring The first shot struck one of the
combatants in the small of the back,
resulting in knockout blow. Both
the principals rushed from the ring,
and the water was turned on the spec
tators, few escaping without drench-
ing.
