GRADE LESSON XII.
THE TIGER.

The tiger lives in India and some other
countries OF Asia He is as strong as the
lion and even more fierce and savage
His fur il OF a golden color, with black
.tripes running round his body. He has
no name, and there Is no bunch OF hair at
the tip OF his TAIL as there is with the
lion
You would think that an animal like
the tiger would be easily seen, even when
standing among tall and thick grass.
But this il not the case; for the yellow
fur agrees 80 well with the brightly
coiored leaves, and the black stripes are
40 like the shadows among the tall grass,
that even the most sharp-sigh GIFTED hunter
will sometimes fail to see him when he is
only eight or ten yards away.
The tiger is not bold hunter. He
does not chase his prey, but he hides in
the grass by the roadside in bitches
near drinking places, where he can see
but not be seen. Like the cat, he waits
until his victim Is near enough, and then
pounces suddenly upon it. Cattle soon
learn when tiger is about, and as they
can scent him a long way of, they stay in
the open meadows, and keep well away
from t he tall reeds and the thickets.
The tiger is very much feared IN those
countries here he roams for not only
does he trouble the farmer, by doing
great harm to his tocks, but he often
kills and eats men, women and children.
After he has once tasted human blood he

quainted with the facts, that this policy
is the best one. These people usually
bring up as an example our late civil war.
At its outbreak, the government had
practically no ships, but at the close of
the war we had the most powerful navy
atioat. But times have changed, or rather
the methods Of modern naval construc-
ton have changed. Then it only took
about as many months as it now takes
years to build and equip vessel for bat
tie. For instance, the "Iowa," our largest
battleship, was authorized by an act of
Congress on July 10, 1892, and will not be
completed until the latter part OF 1896
OF course this being our largest ship
takes the longest time for completing, but
that it takes long time for the smaller
ones is shown by the fact that gunboats
Nos. !, and 8, which were authorized on
March 3, 1893, will not be completed until
January, 1896. In case Of war they
would push the work more rapidly, but
not enough so that country could rely
on this method for obtaining a powerful
navy in war time.
ship has increased, 50 the time in which
ships cross the ocean has decreased. In
case of war breaking out between this
country and England most likely there
would be an English fleet storming some
of our forts within week. We have an
immense coast line, and would not have
vessels enough to place one on guard at
~.
considered the matter have concluded
that " hat the United States needs is more
not less ships.3
We need more batte-ships and torpedo
boats: both of these classes are designe ed
principally for coast defense. We already
have feet of powerful cruisers afioat,
some Of which lead the world in their
class. 1t is gratifying to know that poll
tics has not been allowed to interfere
with our bodybuilding, policy which
was commenced under Cleveland's first
administration, and has been continued
under the two succeeding administra
tons.
Just before the last session of Congress
adjourned provision was made for the en-
llstment of 1000 more seamen and the
building of two battle-ships and several
torpedo boats The United States gov
eminent seems to have adopted as its
motto: ~ nation needs a nat ions out
fit"
The navy is a part, and very large
part of this outfit, and it is to be hoped
that it viii be AS well looked after in the
future, as it has been in the past ten
years.

The influence OF Abra ham Lincoln.
Pre-eminently worthy of study are his
unequaled character and success; not
only by the young and by every dweller
in this favored American nation, but by
all, the world over, who long for personal
progress. Lincoln has enlarged the lin
its of human possibility to an extent that
would have been pronounced utterly I'M
attainsble, had he not done it.
In connection with the gratitude and
love OF Columbia's millions for this
matchless man there is Just pride that
our free institutions have enabled such
revelation. In no other nation on earth
could such an eminence and usefulness
have been reached. Aristocracy founded
on lineage or wealth, or the oppressive
obsequiousness demanded by monarchs,
Kingdoms, empires or tribal despots, are
upas poison to free thought or to achieve
ment worthy of inherent ability. Also a
dwarting contraction to mental growth
and to will-power. Our Gland OF the
free has blessed humanity with an up
lifting leaven, so brilliant, so grand, so
potent that it need only to be known to
be beneticially felt. Therefore, it brings
special courage, ambition and energy to
every individual in the United States.
The same institutions that have enabled
such a success smile upon every trial OF
every aspirant. You shall have all the
results and reward for which your ability
and efforts prove you worthy. Lack OF
wealth need not stand in your way;
earth's greatest man was a boy as poor as
poverty, could be- Want of privilege
