The Tiger Cub.
Another part of the new exhibit Is a
youcg tiger. Some three years ago tigress
in Central Park Geological Gardens gave
birth to four cubs. These all died on the
third or fourth day after, and one of them
was presented in alcohol to the National
Museum and placed aside for future use.
With the acquisition OF the lion cub came
recollections of the gift from Central Park,
and a desire to have for comparison the
very young of these two lords of the
jungle. 1t was accordingly unearthed and
given to Mr.. Palmer to skin and stuff, and
it will be on exhibition side by side with
the lion cub, forming the only exhibit of
the kind in the world. and most interest
ing one to the student of natural history.
They are both of an age, therefore a
legitimate comparison is possible. The lion,
as before stated does not resemble the
parent in any way. and is spotted, while
the little tiger. on the contrary, is an exact
counterpart of its mother, having no spots,
as one might suppose after seeing the lion,
but instead bar fer bar almost precisely as
in the adult. 1t is, in fact, just what it ap-
peaIs-a miniature tiger.
Points of Likeness and Difference.
The life history of the tiger. as described
by Keeper Blackburn, resembles in many
respects that just detailed for the lion.
Both belong to the cat tribe, and conse-
quently are alike in many ways; but as a
rule young tigers are quite playful as COM
pared with young lions. Both are carried
by the mother for period of sixteen
weeks are born blind and are weaned at
about the same PERIOD and both are mature
at the age of five. One great difference eX-
lists between the young of these two ami
mails, a difference that follows them
through life-while the young of the lion
from the time their eyes are open begin to
assert their nature, the young tiger is ex-
ceedingly docile. This changes later-for
the young lions may turn out very tame
and even become pets, while the little
tigers gradually become more and more

A Word for the Horse.



It is true that the use Of electricity and the
invention of pneumatic tires have released
the horse from certain forms Of ignoble
servitude to which he has been long in bond
age, It is also true that the immense rage
for bicycling has diverted the energies Of
some fit, and very many unfit. former pa
irons of the horse to that means Of locomo-
ton. It is true that common horses are
being ground up for fertilizers in the north
west, that the livery stable business has
been slack and that inferior. tricky and
vicious horses are SO cheap that they are
more apt than formerly to fall into hands
unfit to deal with them. But it is great
mistake to suppose that the day Of the horse
is past The truth is that it has just come
The doctrine of the survival Of the httest

fair prices; poor horses are not worth their

for not raising any other sort.
