CRUELTY OF THE HlnDoos.
Tales of He.rtless Tre.tmeat Of Tigers
Almost Unbelisvable.

Tales of Heartless Treatmeat Of Tigers
Almost Unbelievable.
The correspondent who sends the
following to the Calcutta Asian states
that his information came to him on
unimpeachable authority. says the Lon
don Sketch. During q royal hunt in
one of the Rajpoot states an exception
ally fine tiger was caught-netted, no
doubt-and lured into a cage; his cap
tors then proceeded to moose his feet
and draw them through holes bored
in the floor of the cage. and a black
smith was directed to draw his claws.
The tigers legs having been secured
by ropes. the royal sportsmen had a
sliding door in the cage opened. and
when the captive put his head out they
shut the door down on his neck. while
the blacksmith, with mallet and chisel.
broke of his teeth; preparations were
concluded by muzzling the poor brute
with strong wire in some inhumane
fashion. The tiger was then released.
to be baited by dogs. and. despite his
MANNED condition. he killed several
dogs before the "sportsmen" wearied
Of the game and shot him. If this story
is true, and the information is said to
have come from an eye-witness-and
there is nothing impossible In the
crippling part of the business-one
would dearly like to take each Of these
rajpoot royalties in turn and read hin
a lesson with a cutting whip. Natives
have singular ideas concerning the use
of Gagged tigers. At the end of a street
in Jeypoor, one of the finest and most
advanced cities, under protected" ma
tive rule. they kept ten years ago a
number Of tigers in small cages. When
a European visitor approached, the
keeper Immediately appeared from his
house close by. salaamed profoundly,
and proceeded first to spit on his charg-
es and then to stir them up with an
iron rod kept for the purpose When the
savage roaring this naturally produced
died away that keeper salaamed more
profoundly and held out his hand. If
backsheesh was not promptly forth
coming, he said that. lowing to fear OF
the presence, these sons and daughters
of dogs do not roar their loudest," and
spat and stirred again.

The Beggars Of the Sea.

The "Beggars of the Sea" were those
who, during the war for Dutch inde-
pendence. fought Phillip of Spain at
sea, as their brother "beggars" strove
against his power on land. The way
in which the term "beggar" came to
be that by which the Dutch patriots
were distinguished was this: A depu-
tation of the confederate mobiles Of the
low countries, headed by Count Louis
of Nassau. presented to Margaret,
duchess of Parma, the representative
of Phillip II. in the Netherlands, a re-
monstrance, called the "compromise"
against the Inquisition. Somewhat
unnerved by their bold front, she was
inclined to yield to their demands.
when the count of Barlaimont. one of
her council, whispered to her that she
need not be afraid of these gather
ings of beggars." In a moment Of saw
age irony, those to whom this con-
temptuous epithet was applied, accept
ed the title, and Long live the Beg
gars!" was the watchword which was
heard during that prolonged and bitter
struggle which lasted over fifty years,
and ended in the release of Holland
from the Spanish yoke.

Young woman who had appeared before
them. Jupiter Jenkins had ended his
work as schoolmaster in the little sea
port town. He had been studying law
and was now employing the same for
ensic talents he had used before his
schoolroom in a more lucrative If not
a higher court. He was "up In the
city," and was making a name.
When Geraldine finished her course
in the normal school she received the
highest commendation. and the old
principal happened to find a good place
for her in the same city where Jupiter
was making his way.
When Geraldine had come into his
office at the end of her first quarter it
was the first intimation that he had
received of her presence in the city.
She said she had come to make a pay
ment, and while she spoke poor Jupiter
was turning all sorts of ruddy colors.
But 1 hadn't heard you were here.
Geraldine" he said. 'T have been
thinking of you, too, and wondering if
I should hear from you. OF course. 1
knew l should. But somehow l can
not get you out of my head, girl" This
was punctuated with one of the old
time thunderbolts. Fact is. Geral-
dine, I've only just found out why
treated you SO hard when in school.
And it was simply this-I loved you.
1 want you always; I want you to
make me happy, to be my wife!"
Geraldine smiled as she raised her
face and received the salute from his
lips.
Il knew that was the matter all the
time" she said.-Stanley Edwards

The Breaking of Ocean Cables.

The researches of Professor Milne on
the cause of the breaking of telegraph
ic cables have revealed the fact that
there are parts of the ocean bed, par
ticularly on steep slopes along the
edges of continents, where great chang
es frequently occur. The importance
of properly selecting the location of a
cable is shown by the fact, cited by
Professor Milne, that 'the military and
naval reserves were called out in Au-
stralia in 1888. when the simultaneous
interruption of two cables cut OF COM
munication with the rest of the world
for nineteen days, and gave rise to the
fear that war had broken out in Eu-
-ope."

Geraldine was growing. and she was
now tall and 1.-the of figure. with her
big blue eyes clearer and more express
sive. as she looked at people. The
true soul Of a rather designing maiden
was glad to receive attentions. and It
smote Jupiter hard when he observed
that she walked with one and then
with another in the still and balmy
spring evenings. Just why 1t smote
him as 1t did Mr.. jenkins never knew
until a few years later
But 1t did. and Geraldine's face SEEM
ed to have framed itself into the CEN
ter of his thoughts. She recurred to
his consciousness constantly, and when
he thought of these big boys he was
truly uncomfortable.
He had another conference with Mrs.
Conn, In which he suggested that
Geraldine had better be kept in the
house and made to give closer atten-
ton to her lessons. When he called
her in recitations he was also doing
his best to make the girl fail And
when she did fail he did his best to
make 1t uncomfortable for her. She
had to remain after school and get the
whole lesson. Jupiter made her re-
cite It all. ''precept upon precept." SO
to speak.
He had conceived the ambition to
make teacher Of the girl. He broach-
ed the subject to Mrs. Coffin. "Geral-
dine" he began, "is cut cut for
teacher" Mrs. Coffin started in as

teaching has been gained by expert
ence But there is no mistake. The
learning of methods means something
in these days, and I'm sure that IL
Geraldine is sent to a normal school
she will make first-rate teacher
Mrs. Coffin thought it over for few
days. and then came to the conclusion
| that Mr. Jenkins was right. That was
the usual conclusion about Mr.. jenkins
in the little village. The idea was
placed before Geraldine. and when she
heard of Jupiter's proposal she smiled
a smile that made her mother look at
her twice. But Geraldine had the key

which was far beyond her years. She
thought she would like to go. and IL
was a great joy when she came to
Jupiter's throne, and in her sweetest
| and calmest manner thanked him for
his kindness. and said she would do
her best to deserve it.
| Geraldine took new interest in
school. She tried no more of her
subtle ways to disturb Jupiter. and the
boys found a change in her. which at
| once set their former interest at
naught.
"She amt no more fun" they all
agreed, and they troubled her no more.

| Geraldine entered the normal school
and passed her preliminary examina-
tions with extraordinary success. She
was one of the three highest out of a
large class The veteran principal of
the school knew human nature at a
glance. He wrote to Jupiter a letter
which confirmed all that worthy had
said about the wild. nomadic Geral-
dine.

of her first year the townspeople be-
| gan to relent in the hard opinion they
had entertained of her. and saw an

and the presidents confident hope OF ac-
complishing peaceful settlement OF the

opportunity for at least a transient "buli'
