OPERATING ON A TIGER.
Ia Net and Its InErowins =
ClaNY Cul Ont.

Entangled Ia n Net and Its InErowfns q
Claw Cut Ont.
An interesting operation was per
formed in Dublin some time ago by
DIR. Samuel Hanghton. A magnificent
tiger, one of the finest in the Dublin
geological. was threatened with gan
creme in the paw.
One of its claws becoming distorted
says Tid-Bits, had grown into the foot
and to save the tigers life it was nee
essary to cut away the diseased por
tion. The operation was, to put II
mildly, an exciting one. An immense
ly strong net was in the first place
thrown over the tiger, and in the mel
he was drawn, struggling desperate
iy, TO the door Of his cage. Four keep
,rs. each of whom must have been en-
lowed with uncommon courage as wei
~ strength, then held the animals paw
while DR.. Haughton cut away the in
growing claw.
Meanwhile the tigress, which had
been placed in an adjoining den, was
,rantic with rage, fiinging herself fu
riously against the bars in her mad
,tfort to come to the rescue Of her lore
ind master. When she was readmitted
TO the tigers den after the operation
she examined the wounded paw most
tcnderly, purring the while and licking
her mate as II to soothe him.
Both animals appeared TO have real.
lied that the operation was beneficial
one. for week nfterward, when DR.
Haughton looked in to see how his pa
tient wns progressing, he was received
in the friendlist way and was even al
lowed to examine the mutilated paw.

THE bill introduced by Senator Petit
grew of South Dakota in the Senate,
to allow settlers to homestead 320 acres
instead of 100 should be turned down.
There is too much of the land-hOgging
act going on under the present law
The government lands should not be
given away to spectators and for any
man who desires to use them the culti-
yation of 100 acres is an abundance
Better cultivation of smaller tracts
would bring larger profit to farmers
There is no reason why the government
should be in hurry to rid itself of its

SANTA CLAUS was good in Canon.
His visits were numerous and his gifts
many. He seems to have been imbibed
with the spirit of better times. The ad-
vance agent of prosperity must have
had something to do with the rich strike
old Santa made. The doings of this
old Saint is an excellent barometer to
the condition of the times. He always
gives all he can and aften mose. When
times are good his pack is larger and
his presents more liberal. Never. for
many years has the Christmas buying
been SO large in Canon as this season.
Never have there been so many pres
ents given and of such value. Few
there are who have not been better
treated by Santa this Christmas thar
they have for many seasons before.

story They Are Telling the Otner
side of the Line.
A writer in the Toronto Printer and
Publisher, commenting on the tendency
of some of our United States cousins
to indulge in "taTl talk" recalls an in
cident that occurred in Montreal at the
time that the press of the United States
was threatening that the s5,500,0O0
awarded to Canada by the Halifax nrbi-
tration would not be paid.
Lord Duiferin had just got back from
visit to Washington. There had been
objections raised in congress to pay
!, the money. Lord Dufferin saw that
joke would relieve the strain. He
coised round the large banqueting hall
The Windsor hotel and remarked
Tlth pretended solemnity: NO, gen.
icmen, l have not brought it back in
~ pocket. Our So, 500, 900 of fish money
,'ls not handed to me across the coun-
cr by the president" He went on to
say that he never even looked as IL he
wanted it, so convinced was he that all
mls right. In fact, he had heard that
zen. Ben Butler and others were going
20 move that the furniture in the con-
-rcssional buildings should be pawned
.lther than that the States should re-
.Iin in Canada's debt an hour longer
han was necessary, He had not men
ioned the matter to the secretary of
state, but diplomntists had their own
way of settling these things. They did
.ot dispute like washwomen over tub.
| ! nod, a wink, meant n great deal. The
,oretary of state had maintained a
Vi. pyna Mt silence '.and" said Lord DUFF
erin, ''as speech Is silver and silence is
olden, l knew from the secretary's ST.
cnce that he was not only going to pay
| rp like man, but pay up in gold like a
| Gentleman
When this speech was telegraphed TO
the United States press there was roar
of laughter from one end of the re-
public TO the other. The pettiness OF
the dispute was recognized, and the
money was paid over in few weeks.
