Tiger Hunting ID India.

AFTER Big Game In Africa and
India" is the title Of a paper by H.
w. Seton.Kar in The Century. The
author was the guest of an Indian
prince, and he hunted from the back
of an elephant. He says:
With regard to tigers, the expec.
tation of the animals appearance,
the waiting and watching during
the brief period of the beat, formed
the most interesting and stirring
part of the performance. The trans
verse rush of a tiger, soaring the
elephants and throwing the whole
line into confusion, is one of the fin
est sights in India. Some fell at the
fret volley, fired at from two or
mor of the howdahs simultaneous
ly. One only fell to a single shot,
stone dead. Some escaped, wound
ed, into a neighboring patch of jun.
gle, and most of these charged and
"got home upon some elephant,
springing in every ase upon the
animals forehead and being tossed
off and shot while on the ground.
Although tigers have been known
to climb into the howdah, the dan
ger to human life in this method of
tiger shooting is very small. There
were elephants of various ages and
sizes in the beating line, and during
the uproar that ensued when a tiger
came close some of the younger ones
exhibited their fear by the oldest
sounds-shrill squeaks and shrieks
that seemed quite disproportionate
issuing from SO large an animal.
When a tiger succeeded in breaking
through, the line had to retire, re-
form and begin again.

Novel Reading.

The late Mr.. Boyesen, in The
Forum, speaking of excess OF novel
reading, says: Who that has read
Rousseau's Confessions will fail to
remember the emphatic avowal that
he was untitled for life by the read
ing of novelist Like the opium habit,
the craving for fiction grew upon
him, until the fundamental part OF
him had suffered irreparable harm.
He is not the only one who has ex-
perienced detrimental effects from
dwelling too long in the pleasant
land of romance. AS 500 az a man
and particularly a child-gets ac-
climated there he is likely to be-
come of very small account, as far
as reality is concerned. He becomes
less and less able to apply sound
standards of judgment to the things
lee this world, and as the success in
life for which we are strI ing de-
ponds primarily upon this ability to
see things straight and to judge
them clearly no II can escape the
conclusion that a large consumption
of romantic fiction tends distinctly
to disqualify a man for worldly sue

She Cut or His Tail,

A curious case of hostile hair cut
ting resulted in litigation in 1871.
1t is reported from York, Oct. 10 of
that year:
"A cause for cropping was tried
last week at the sessions at Barns
ley, in Yorkshire, an action being
brought against Mr.. Poole and his
lady of that place by Nh. Stagg, al
attorney, for All assault. The charge
lay chiefly against Mrs. Poole, AS in
an ARRAY between Mr.. Stage and
her husband it appeared she had cut
of the tail of the former. The in.
vestigation vas a continued source
Of pleasantly to the court, though q
verdict was given in favor Of Mr.

Scientific Cutting.

Men of science sometimes make
extraordinary demands upon the
skill of instrument makers. An in
teresting illustration is furnished
by the instrument called the micro
tome, the purpose of which is to cut
excessively thin slices or sections
Of various substances, such as ami
NAL or vegetable tissues, for micro
scopic examination. Microtomes
have recently been invented which,
it is claimed, a cut successive sec.
tons each only one twelve-thou
sandth of an inch thick. The edge
of the knife which makes such cuts
appears perfectly smooth and
straight when magnified so times.

Hunter Chased by Elephant.

Mr.. Wallace, who has Il stockade
on the Chomo river, wounded a large
elephant, which then charged him.
His cartridges jammed in the breech
of his rifle, and he had to run. The
elephant followed him, and while
lodging in and out among the trees
Mr.. Wallace stumbled and fell. The
elephant then prodded at him with
his tusks, but these fortunately
went into the ground on each side
without injuring him. The elephant
then with his trunk lifted MI. Wal
lace and threw him some yards
away. Mr.. Wallace lay still as if
dead. The elephant came up, pushed
him about with his fore foot and
placed his foot on the body, but did
not press hard, and then went away
Mr.. Wallace was taken up eventual
ly by his boys, much bruised, and
carried into camp. The elephant
was tracked for IL miles. 1t made
a large circuit and died almost on
the same spot where the accident
happened. The tusks weighed So
and II pounds .-British Central

A Princess Lacks Half a Crown.

Many incidents in the early life of
Queen Victoria are related in an ar
ticle in ST. Nicholas, written by
James Cassidy and entitled Girl
hood Days of England's Queen. "
Mr.. Cassidy says:
A certain story associated with
Tunbridge Wells illustrates how sen
sibly she was treated. AT a bazaar
in that town the little girl had spent
all her money, most u~nselhshly, it
must be admitted, for she had been
buying presents for her friends. A
pretty box arrested her attention,
and she said to her go%verness:
"How | should like to buy that
box for So-and-so," whom she men.
toned by name, but it is half a
crown, and I've spent all my
money!
The saleswoman, saying, THAT
is of no consequence" proposed to
inclose it with the other articles.
The Baroness Lehzen objected, as
the princess was not allowed to buy
upon credit, but only for ready
money. The saleswoman immedi,
ately offered to put by the box for
her, and this was gladly agreed to.
1t was quite early one morning some
time afterward when the young
princess, mounted on a donkey, ap-
peared at the shop. She had re.
ceiyed her allowance and had come
to buy the coveted treasure.

How "Mr. oglethorpe" Was Toasted.

While the colony refreshed them
selves there beaufort town MI.
O~glethorpe went up the river and
chose q situation for a town and en-
tered into a treaty with Tomochi-
chi, the micco, or chief, of the only
nation of Indians living near it. He
returned on the twenty-fourth day,
and they celebrated the Sunday fol-
lowing as a day of thanksgiving for
their safe arrival, and a sermon was
preached by the Rev. Mr., Jones, the
Rev. DIR. Herbert, who came with
the colony, preaching that day at
Beaufort town. There was a great
resort of the gentlemen of that
neighborhood and their families
and a plentiful dinner provided for
the colony and all that came by Mr..
,Oglethorpe, there being four fat
hogs, eight turkeys, besides fowls,
English beef and other provisions,
a hogshead of punch, a hogshead OF
beer and a large quantity of wine,

1.-THE area of the United States is
3,O25, 600 square miles. With Alaska
it is 8, 1902, $50 square miles, equal to
the area of all Europe, with Italy
and Turkey excepted" writes Viii
liam George Jordan on The Great
est Nation on Earth" in The La
dies Home journal. "Texas, its
largest state, is 212 times the size of
Rhode Island. Texas might invite
every man, woman and child now
living in the world to settle within
its territory, offering each individ-
ual a plot of ground 40 IL feet by
100 feet. The state would not be
really crowded, for each individual
would have four times the space
taken by each person in New York
city. England, Ireland, Scotland,
Wales, Italy and Portugal could be
transplanted to Texas and there
would still be room for a good sized
promenade where curious Ameri-
cans could walk while studying this
bit Of Europe. Three Of the cattle
ranches of Texas cover as much ter
ritory az the Sandwich Islands,
which we were to annex four years
ago."
