And Red Wine Coming in at the Doors
OF the Studio.
After weeks in the forest of Fon-
t~ainebleau it is difficult to realize it's
m%onotonous amplitude, it's endless rep
etition of similar prospects, says the
Saturday Review. And yet as a for
est it has no surprising beauty. One
may compare it with Dartmoor-Dart-
moor pared Of it's highest tors and set
thickly with young trees growing close
as the moss on a boulder. 1t is a roll
ing upland with a scanty mantle Of
soil, through the frequent gaps in
which the broken gray powders of the
naked earth sometimes rise in fantas-
tic heaps, sometimes line ~concavities a
mile across, or fringe the gaping lips
of long ravines. Like Dartmoor, the
surface is arid, and you may tramp
miles and see never a pool; and yet,
on every side, you may descend from
the forest by green valleys into green
plains and find brooks leading mirac-
ulously from the dusty rocks to dip
under fringing willows. 1t is to these
happy skirts of the forest that the
painters villages cling; Barbizon, ad-
vertised by Stevenson and now aban-
doned to the cultured tourist; Cernay,
with it's great village square; Marlotte,
smothered under masses of lilacs like
a child laughing in new-mown hay;
Moret, on the Seine, with it's tower
fianked, steep-pitched bridge, it's mills
and ruined castles and spreading river;
and a dozen others. The simplest of
them turn austere faces to the solemn
~spaciousness of the forest. but their
sweet gardens give access to the green
comforts of the plain; an image, may
be, of the artists themselves; high, ui-
profitable aims in the salon; pot
boilers emerging and red wine coming
in by the studio doors.

much has been said and written OF
Western Canada, and the new provinces
forming 1t, he has been led to give the
subject some inquiry, and he has been
shown letters written to the Canadian
government from delegates sent out by
friends to inspect the country.
One of these delegates who was sent
to Western Canada says: I'm under

I will assume, for an illustration, the
experience of a man who went from
place to place in search of a wife, and
finding 30 many of good qualities and
attractions. was unable to determine
which to choose, so in looking for a

lands which l have seen are far supe-
l In every respect and beyond my
expectations. Lakes and streams to be
found in all districts abound with innu-
merable kinds Of water fowl, while fish
are very abundant. On all sides we see
innumerable stacks of grain, proving
beyond doubt the fertility of the soil.

Accuracy is the most desirable thing
on ordinary occasions, but there are
times when it pals, says the Wash

the English language spoken with
confidence and unerring grammar,
which betoken intelligence and good
breeding, and especially SO when it is
uttered in public places by uniformed
persons from whom you ordinarily
hear such remarks as "Hi!" Get a
move on yer" and Cant you look

THE TIGER HAD ME-.

bamboo grass taller than my head. In
terspersed with the grass were clumps
of bushes, low-topped korinda trees,
and here and there a taller tree. Now
that l was alone the thought came to
me that l should feel more comfortable
if l had kept my rifle by me, for it
being rather heavy to carry, | had left
it with the servant, who had charge
of the horse. But | was not much dis
turbed by anticipations of danger as I
strolled along the path, taking my time,
for l expected to have to wait for my
men at the roadside.
THE thing came suddenly, without
warning. There was a strange moving
Of the grass and bushes a few feet away
to one side of the path, the tall grass
parted to left and right in the furrow
that came straight toward me there was
aloud, deep-throated roar-and the
tiger had me. l was standing stock still
staring at the moving grass, for there
was no use in running away, for he
came out on me. There was one
glimpse of paws, jaws, and white
breast all plunging for me. and then
was fiat on my back in the path, with
the tiger crouching upon me, his claws
set in my left shoulder and right side.
The long feelers at his nose brushed
my face as he set his teeth into my
shoulder in one sharp, crushing bite,
apparently to make sure that l would
lie still.
"If the tiger had been alarmed or
wounded, if he had overtaken me run
ming away, or had l struggled should
have been killed outright. l certainly
expected nothing else, but the tiger, not
repeating the bite, lifted his head as
if listening. Some sound in the road
may have made him fearful of losing
his prey, for, seizing me by the should
er, he swung me clear of the ground
and started away through The jungle in
long, swift leaps. l weighed at that
time 1876 pounds, and the tiger carried
me along as easily as a cat would carry
a squirrel.

you, although a similar experience has

from the moment the tiger leaped on

Can tell OF sucn an experience is Heeu-
less to say" said Capt. E. A. Arbuthnot.
After the cigars had been lighted a
guest who had known him twenty years
before in India had pressed him to tell
the story of his tiger adventure there
and the captain had consented.
THE thing occurred in the Dabrah
Doolah district in Assam, where l had
gone with the idea of becoming a tea
planter" continued the captain. THE
beginning of the adventure, to tell the
story completely, was my meeting a
shikari named Dassa Balhua on the
morning of the day when l fell in with
the tiger. The word shikari, you will
understand, means native hunter, a
tiger hunter in particular. I was on my
way that day to look over a tract OF
jungly land which l thought of buying
and clearing for cultivation, when On
passing Dassa Bulhua's house / saw
him sitting in the doorway and he was
in a peck of trouble.
His old East Indian company's army
musket, the gun with which he hunted,
was lying across his lap, and he was
fumbling at the lock. He wanted to
go out into the jungle that day, and
here was his gun hammer out of gear,
SO that when he pulled it back it would
not catch and stay at full cock. l saw
at once what was wrong with the lock,
n CHANGING to have with me a watch
makers file, l set the thing right in
1--WE minutes. Balhua was very CRATE
full, and I<ode on, leaving him careful
ly loading the gun. l don't wish to get
1 ahead of my story, but will say here
that my stopping to help Balhua OIL of
his trouble was the means of saving
my own life that day.
This meeting with the shikari &C.
Cured about an hour after daybreak.
l went on my way, and by the middle
of the afternoon I had seen all I cared
and was ready to return to my bunga-
low. Of the two servants who accom-
panied me, I had left one with my
horse a mile back where there was
some shade and grass. The other, who
was with me, I sent to the man in the
rear directing that they bring the horse
round by the road to a point where ]
would meet them. The man started off
on a run, and after watching him out
of sight, I took my way along a jungle
path toward the point on the road
where l had appointed to meet them.
"The jungle growth through which
the path led was made up largely OF

POLISH ~CATHOLICITY.
Religion the Only Tie Those People Re-
gard as Unbeatable.

noiisioh inc OnIy Tie Those People R0~
gard as Unbreakable.
From the reign of Bolesias the Great
to the crime Of 1772 (the partition Of
Poland), the chivalry of Poland re-
PEELED ninety-one Tartar invasions, any
one OF which, If successful, would have
at least jeopardized the existence of
rop civilization, says the Amer
lean Catholic Review. For many CEN
turtles that chivalry was the sole bar
rler OF Europe against the triumph Of
Muscovite ambition, and the reason.of
the Polish success Is to be found, not
III the unquestionable valor of the Po-
lish heart, not in any solidity of the
government which directed that valor,
but In the religious tie which bound
the Poles together-the only tie which
This FESTIVE people have ever regarded
as unbreakable. This is the most sal
lent fact in all Polish history. The
political constitution of Poland was
the most faulty in Christendom, prob
ably in the world; and precisely be-
u OF that constitution her history
is thai of an almost continual civil war
"a condition of things which in any
other land would have rendered for
eign invasion synonymous with nation
al ruin. But, so long as the religious
tie remained, Poland could have 100,-
600 masters in the persons of her frac-
tious mobiles; the entire people could be
serfs; and there would be but one law
n one country for every Polander.
For many centuries the battle hymn
of this warlike race was a beautiful
canticle in honor of our lady, which
had beer composed by the martyr st.
Adalbert, the first apostle of Northern
Poland; and to mention only n of
the many customs which show how the
Catholic spirit was identified with Po-
lish patriotism, what a lesson the Po-
lish boy received when, while assist
ing at mass, he noticed that at the
reading Of the gospel every noble drew
his sword halfway out of the scab-
bard, in sign of his sworn devotion to
the faith, even unto death.

only one way to cure deafness. and that
is by CONSTITUTE pral remedies. Deafness

is the result, and unless the infiamma-
