Tiger Gratitude

The Pail Mall Gazette recalls diff.
cult operation which was successfully
performed In the Geological Gardens,
Dublin, a few years ago. One of the
finest tigers in the collection was
threatened with gangrene in its paw,
the olaw having been distorted and
grown into the foot. Rev. Samuel
Houghton. N. D., Senior Fellow OF
Trinity College. Dublin, and a we'll
known parsonage In the Irish metropo.
lis, undertook to perform the danger
Gus experiment Of operating on the
paw.
The mate Of the tiger was Arst se-
cured In side den. A net was thrown
over the tiger. and he vas drawn for
ward to the door OF the cage. -Four
stout keepers then held the feet OF
the struggling animal, while Professor
Houghton out away the diseased claw.
The suffering beast furiously endeav-
ored to get at him during the opera
tion, but the rage of the tigress look
ing on through the bars OF the side
den was much more terrible. She
roared and flung herself violently
again and again against the barriers in
her mad desire 10 go TO the rescue OF
her mate.
When the tigress was admitted to
the cage after the wound OF her mate
had been dressed and the net removed,
she turned up the paw and examined
1t with touching solioItuds. and then
licked her mate aa q cat lioka har hit.

while. But perhaps the most e1tror-

ton was again at the Zoo to see how
his patient was going on. When the
animal espied him he began to purr
like cat, allowed him TO examine his
paw and seemed pleased that he should

tiger and tigress showed themselves

"The Old Yellow Almanac"


When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote the
poem, having for title the same heading as
this article, she touched a chord that vi.
Almanac, "The Old Yellow Almanac" OF
the poem, is intimately associated with the
days and deeds Of large part of the worlds
population. How large part of the popu-
lation this general statement may include
can be gathered from the fact that the
yearly issue OF Ayers Almanac is from
l7,0o0,O 900 to rs, 900 copies. 1t is printed
In twenty-eight editions and in some
eighteen languages, including, besides Eng
hsh-Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, German,
swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Bohemian,
Welch, Italian, French. etc. The old style
almanac Is looked upon by many as a relic
OF antiquity. especially the "patent medi-
cine slmanac," whose jokes are the butt
often OF the very papers In whose columns
they first appeared. But there are slmanaos
and almanacs. Ever since DR.. Ayers
Almanac has been put out 1t has employed
rs high class OF mathematical and astro-
nomical talent as is available In the country.
The result is that 1t stands on q par, In
respect OF the reliability OF Its dat, and the
accuracy OF Its calculations with tho U. 8.
Nautical Almanac, and testimony to this fact
Is found year after year In the letters, 70
fsrred to the almanac department Of the

manrnoe and reliability Ayers Almanac
stands as . very fitting type OF the Aver

BEAUTY OF THE CREOLE WOMEN.

As you see his face you will know
that he (the creole husband or father)
realizes that no flower upon the lily
covered altar Is half 80 fair or so fit
for the temples perfect adorning as
his blooming wife and budding daugh-
ters, who sit in line beside him. If
he does not think these things he is q
dullard-or, maybe, only half creole.
Perhaps his mother was an American,
or Scotch. And then-2 Perhaps he
would not think them because they
might not be true. They would be
other things, other things just as fine
and good, no doubt-they might even
have rare beauty of different type
but the creole woman is flower. She
is magnolia or jasmine-occasiona
d camellia-or, especially when there
is good warm drop of Spanish blood
in her veins, she is red, red rose-a
rose too sweet to pass untouched but
for her perfect dignity and piquant
hauteur that is as protective as any
thorn upon roses stem.
Properly speaking, or rather, mar
rowly speaking, the creole is an Ameri-
can, born of French or Spanish par
ents, or of both, and. strictly, both
parents should themselves be foreign
born; but the creole is often only the
great-great grandson of creole, and
some of their families of purest blood
could not reach the mother country
without going back through three or
four Americau,born generations.

An Old Physician Gives Some Timely
Advice.
A cold In the head is regarded as such q
simple matter that few people pay any at
tsntion to it. The majority of cases recover
entirely from the effects OF cold In a few
weeks at most, and thus confirm the general
ides that cold amounts to very little. But
there arc great number OF apparently
trivial colds that do not disappear. The
cold fingers week after week, and the pa
tient finally discovers to his horror that he
has chronic catarrh. This state OF things
could easily have been prevented by taking
few doses OF Pe-ru-na when the cold was con-
tracted. Pe-ru-na invariably cures colds In
a few days and saves incalcu able suffering.
No one should neglect to keep Pe-ru-na con.
stanty in the house during he winter, as its
value In catarrhal affections is certain.
An instructively illustrated book on colds
and other diseases OF winter will be sent free
to any address by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company Columbus. Ohio.
