The Tiger.

In trapping tigers for export the
Malays dig hole about ten feet deep,
making the bottom twice as large in
area as the top, to prevent the ami
NAL from jumping out after being
oncc in. The hole completed, small
brushwood is lightly laid over its sur
lace, and close by. in the direction OF
the mouth of the pit, a bullock is
chained to tree. On seeing the
bullock the tiger springs for his ex-
rected prey, and alightS in the pit.
a bamboo cage is placed over the pit,
which is then filed with earth, the
tiger gradually coming to the sur
lace. Once in the cage, the Matlays
lace aud interlace bamboo and rattan
under the tiger. Spring-guns are
sometimes used, but not often, as they
are dangerous to the dogs and human
beings
once went on 4 tiger hunt. We
organized party OF five Europeans
and ten natives. We started on foot,
because it is impossible to ride
through the jungle on horseback.
On finding 4 tigers footprints, we
followed them to a ravine, where the
tiger had been drinking. Here we
took our tif1in, and, while eating,
heard groans, which we thought were
from the tiger. Following the sound,
we saw an enormous man-cating tiger
dashing away through the brush.
Snots were fred without effect. On
going farther we discovered that he
had found buffalo. and had been
making short work of him. These
bufIaloes are not like those found in
America, but smaller, and more like
an OK Later this same tiger was
caught in trap. We knew it was
the same, for not more than one is
found near a village at a time.
On an average four or five people
were killed by tigers on this road in
the course Of ayear. They generally
seize their prey after dusk, and for
this reason it is never safe to travel
on these roads after O'clock at
night. 1t is said that tiger often
selects his man during the day, and,
perhaps follows him for miles,
until overtaken by dusk, where he
springs on him. Two gentlemen

plantation, when they discovered that
they were followed by 4 tiger.
They were three miles from home.
and, having nothing but shot-guns
for weapons, could not fire at the ami

behind them all the way and they
reached home before he attempted to
attack. The natives arc in constant
terror OF these animals, and it is al
most impossible to send them out

shoats that are growing rapidly. If the
pigs are to be allowed to- gather the
tubers for themselves, then the arti-

GROWING pASs1Es FOR PROFIT.

The culture of flowers is one OF the
most profitable of all this kind of in
dustries, and at fifty cents dozen for
pansies, the profit will be very salts
factory. To have them early, the seed
should be sown at once in boxes in a
warm room, and the small plants
moved to pots, but if the seed is sown
in the fall, the flowers may be had still
earlier. The most desirable way IS to
SOW seed in the summer in the open
ground on rich soil, and pot the young
plants, picking oil all the flower buds
as they form, until the middle of the
wintsc ?rd in time to have the flowers
when they are wanted. Then by
gathering the flowers as soon as they
are fully blown the plants will continue
20 bloom long time. To force good
flowers the plants should be kept
watered with weak manure water. The
finest varieties are the Imperial Ger
man and Scotch.-New York Times.

LAWN GRASS.

Where the locality desirable for q
lawn is naturally free from weeds the
modern suggestion of making it by
planting patches of one particular kind,
which will run together in few
months, is particularly desirable
Nothing can be more beautiful than n
lawn wholly made up of one species.
For small gardens, especially where the
new plantation can be hand-weeded
during summer, it is the best of all
methods. No lawn made of grass seeds
will be confined strictly to one kind,
and on account of the different shades
Of green in the grass will always have a
more or less patchy appearance. Those
Tho supply mixed lawn grass seeds
usually keep this in mind, and endeav-
Or to get their kinds SO generally alike
in tint of green as to avoid this objec-
ton. One advantage of the mixed
system is that one can rarely tell by the
description of customer what partic-
1lar kind of grass will thrive to best
advantage. A mixture is, therefore,
likely to best serve the purpose, in
This, that the one most suitable will
eventually crowd out those not SO well
adapted to the soil and circumstances.

SPRAYING APPLE oRcHAEsD II WET SEASONS.

SPRAYING APPLE ORCHAHSD " WEI SEASONS.
The time for destroying the apple
worm is Immediately after the petals
fall, and tho spraying should be re-
peated once or twice after the apples
begin to hang down. Experiments by
Z. G.. Lodeman at the New York Cor
nell Station indicate that the first ap-
p1ication of fungicides should be made
soon after the buds open and just be-
fore the flowers fall. Apple trees should
be so pruned that both the sunshine
anu the spraying reaches every part.
The Bordeaux mixture reduces the in
jury done by the apple scab fungus.
The addition of Paris green to this
mixture gave better results than when
London purple was used. More spray
ing applications are required during
vet seasons than during dry ones.
The trees should be sprayed once a
week during wet weather. The results
show that tine application of the COM

SELECTING A COW.

The good points of good COW are

end probably is not very good-lookine
except to the eye of an experienced
dairyman. She certainly is not fat
while giving milk, and to be a really
good COW she should never be long
time enough between the times of milk
giving to fatten. She will most likely
have large paunch, giving her some
what "pot-bellied'' look after she has
filed herself. Something cannot come
from nothing, and We never knew a
COW giving large messes of good milk
which was not ravenous feeder.
Hence her digestion must be good.
She should have broad chest, indicat-
ing large lungs. Thsre is no good
digestion without good lung power.
She should be "deep" from the back
down to the belly, hut with thin and
rather fiat neck. The skin of most
good COWS is of velvety texture, and
looks as if it had been groomed for
several generations, as in most breeds
Of the best cows it has. The good COW
is, indeed, less an accident than a
product. With good material from
which to breed, the good farmer can
make sure of her nearly every heifer
calf ne gets.-Boston Cultivator.

Myra- He has had about time to get
here"
Hush, Myra, don't you hear aunt
crying? What can be the matter?"
A strange stiffness had fallen over
the occupants of the sitting-room after
that one loud sob of sorrow-or rather
JOY.
Tho little girls waited in vain for
their aunt to come and finish their
toilets, so they concluded to wait upon
each other, as they usually did, and
then go and see what allied their aunt.
This was soon executed, 50 eager were
they to solve the mysterious coming of
this stranger. On entering the room
they found the G. A. r. man occupying
a seat very near their aunt, who APP
peared to be in too happy a state of
mind to warrant that sob On seeing
the children Drusilla held out her hand
to Myrtle, who happened to be fore
most, saying, with smile in which
there was a mingling of various emo
tions:
These are poor Heber's children,
Hugh. They are all that is left Of my
old home"
This little lady's likeness to you was
the means of my finding you, Drusilla,
after my long search. | only intend
ed remaining here week, SO that my
chances were small of meeting with
you"
A few words will suffice to explain
Hugh's silence and long absence. He
had written to Drusilla, asking her 70
be his wife, soon after wishing her
good-by, but unfortunately the letter
was lost lie was injured in the head
during one of the first engagements.
On his apparent recovery from the
wound it was discovered that his mem
Dry was blank, and without being
exactly insane, he came very near it.
For several years he continued in this
condition. Finally, however, he recov-
cred under skillful treatment, and then
set on a quest for his loved ones No
one in his native village knew Drusil-
I las latest move, and the search seemed
hopeless.
BY the will of his father, who had
died recently he had come into consid-
cradle property, and, as he told Drusil-
Ia, there would be no further need for
her to be a breadwinner.
II am afraid Hugh" she answered,
with loving smile, that with so much
happiness in prospect l shall be tempted
to forget my daily prayer for faith and
courage!'--Mrs. w. l.. Sanders IN Chi

have had sustaining grace, but how
about the long future?"
''As thy day SO shall thy strength
be-" came to her cheerily, and she re-
sumed her sewing with peace, yes, and
with positive JOY in her heart,
Meanwhile the children were having
o grand time The weather was per-
feet and the arrangements all which
could be desired. The G. A. Il. men
were drawn up in line at the entrance
of the cemetery while the children
marched past them, Myrtle heading
the procession. One of the men started
violently on seeing her, and could hard
~ forbear breaking from the ranks and
fastening TO overtaSe her When the
graves were all decorated and the chill
dren were marching back to the con
Veyances at the cemetery gates, the
man left his comrades and stepped up
to the leader.
In the few minutes Intervening be-
tween their arrival and tallinr their
seats in the carriages he contrived to
ask her If her name was Dexter, or if
she had relatives of that name?
"Yes, Myra and l are called Dexter.
and so is our aunt, Miss Drusilla. Do
you know her2" asked the child, look
ing curiously at the gray-haired G.
A. r.
"Yes, that is, used to. Where do
you live9'
"With Aunt Drusilla, in n small
white house with green blinds, on
Spencer street. Good-by, sir, | must
get in now. Come, Myra,"
On the childrens arrival at home
they found their aunt engaged with a
customer, SO that there was no chance
/ to tell her of the afternoons perform-
ance for quite little while. just as
they were about TO do so there was a
ring at the doorbell and as their aunt
was assisting them to take off their
tnery neither of them could go to the
door.
