Face to Face with Tigers.

Among Sir Hope Grants notes Of his
life In India are two brief accounts OF
close encounters with tigers. though Sir
Hope himself does not figure in either
adventure. Maj. Callnet was u shoot
ing when he came suddenly face to face
with q tiger. just as he was firing the
howdah gave way and he fell almost in
to tho animals mouth.
The tiger seized him by tho thigh aud
carried him off. While in this situation
he recollected that he bad a Trace OF
pistols in his pocket. He mangaed to
draw n and snapped it at the beasts
head, but it missed fire.
Still retaining his presence OF mind
he pulled out the other aud fired. The
tiger bounded on q few yards aud then
dropped dead.
Callnet told mo of this himself. He
was very badly wounded and is still
dreadfully lame.
MIR. Young of tho civil service heard
that a tiger had forced his way into q
native hut and was holding it against
its human owner. MI. Young mounted
tho roof and effected an entrance.
The tiger charged; he fired both bar
rels and turned 10 get his second gun
FROM his attendat but the fellow had
bolted.
The tiger was close up aud Mr.. Young,
In despair, lifted the gun with bott
hands in front of his head. The beast
sprang. seized the barrel in his mouth
and then dropped dead. l saw the gun
dented with the tigers teeth.

"The Fortune of France"

Frenchwomen of the middle and low.
er classes are for the most part content
to seem to be what they really are and
regard with salutary scorn those among
them who sedulously ape the appear
ance and bearing of their betters.
The description of them as "the for
tune Of France" is fully justified by facts
that are within the cognizance of all
those who have watched the course Of
events under the imperial and repub-
licah regimes alike during the last for
ty years.
1t was the unremitting industry, the
inf1exible thrift, the indomitable con-
%servatism of Frenchwomen, that en-
abled France to pay for Napoleonic
%splendors at home and adventures
abroad; that accumulated the national
savings with which the gigantic war
indemnity of 1871 was l~iquidated long
before the expiration of the stipulated
term; that kept up the standard Of
general %well-being throughout France
after she had suffered defeat, spoilaliol
and territorial loss in such sort that her
people have almost c%heerfully borne the
oppressive burdens of ev~er-incrcnsing
taxation and surmounted successive ii.

Unknown.

A pink rose lay or a table top,
Vanished bright from times old shop.
1t caught her glow, a dull pink ray,
And the last faint CLEANS from a burnt out
day.
A wee bird sang from a tree nearby,
TIC a crescent moon that cleaned on high.
But the picture no one saw.
On the fragrant hay in a meadow wide,
The coming night and the stars espied
A vagrant boy, whose idle dream
Was a wild, sweet one of a ripping
stream;
And ne vaguely longed for a friend to
know
OF the happy life that the woods bestow.
But the longing was unheard.
A grain of wheat in a bleak field sown
And the p~latntiye songs that she softly
sings
Is of the bread that the future brings.
But the distant stars and the clustering
wind
Are too far off to really mind.
AND the sleeping world sleeps on.
