INDIAN TIGER HUNTING.
How "Stripes" 10 Tracked to and Trapped
In the Jungle.


In the Jungle.
A buffalo calf, or "hela," as the in.
habitants call it, is fastened by the
leg in the usual path of the tiger, so
that the next time he passes that way
he may find q meal ready to his
mouth.
Early next morning the place is
visited. and if "Stripes" has risen to
the occasion it sometimes happens
that he is found finishing his break
fast, when matters are greatly sim
plified by potting him. Usually, how
ever, he is found to have eaten what
he wanted, washed it down with a
long drink from some neighboring
pool and gone to sleep off the effects
of his heavy meal in some cool and
shady spot.
Next the exact whereabouts of this
spot is "ringed"-that is to say, his
"pugs," or footprints, are followed,
frequent casts being made round
what appear to be likely places.
In this way, given a reasonable
amount of luck and fairly impress
sionable ground, the tiger can be To-
Gated to within a small area, for, il
pugs are seen to enter any particular
piece of jungle and no tracks can be
found leaving it, it follows that
"Stripes" is probably inside.
A number of men, varying in &C.
cordance to the size of the Jungle to
be beaten, are next collected from
the various villages j., the neighbor-
hood and arranged round what is con-
sidered triangle, the sides Of which
are represented by lines of men in
trees to act as "stops," and the base
by the beatera proper, armed with
axes, sticks, tamtams (native drums)
or anything else they can get hold OF
calculated to make a noise.
Through the apex of the triangle
the path passes which it is considered
the tiger will probably take on being
disturbed, and it is here that the gun
or guns station themselves. Should
the tiger take a path different from
the one he is expected by it is so ar
ranged that he must come in contact
with the stops, whose duty it is, by
breaking twig, gently clapping the
hands or coughing, to prevent the
tiger from breaking out the side of
the triangle.
The beaters proper simply walk
through the Jungle, either shouting
and making a noise or merely tapping
sticks together. according to the tiger
one has to deal with.
A savage old tiger, one which has
been already beaten over, will on
hearing great noise almost invari-
ably break back and charge through
the line, whereas if the disturbance
appears to be caused merely by people
cutting wood or gathering sticks he
will in all probability move on quietly.

WISE WORDS.

The injuries we do and those we
suffer are seldom weighed in the same
balance.
Strong thoughts are iron nails
driven in the mind that nothing can
draw out.
A poor man with sunny spirit will
get more out OF life than wealthy
grumbler.
We know accurately only when We
know little; with knowledge doubt
increases.
Friendship improves happiness and
abates misery, by doubling our Joy
and dividing our grief.
Nothing is so fierce but love will
soften-nothing so sharp-sighted but
love will throw a mist before its eyes.
Let us remember that he who lives
for self and self alone is failure,
whilst he who renders honest, loving
service to his fellows, though he be
poor and an outcast, unhonored and
unsung, is to all eternity a noble sue
cess.
If people would only remember that
what they really work with is not their
hands, but their brains. they would not
imagine that time spent in cultivating
the brain, and giving it power and
ilexibility is time thrown away, but
would see that it is time most use
fully devoted.

An Elephants Teeth.

Whoever has looked inside an ele-
plants mouth has seen stran &c sight.
Elephants have no front teeth, and
they never eat flesh or any food that
requires tearing apart. Eight teeth
are all they have, two above and two
below ON each side, huge yellow molars
as wide as mans hand and about two
inches thick. Over these hay or fod-
der is shifted by the queerest, ugliest
tongue in the whole animal kingdom,
tongue that is literally hung at both
ends, having no power or movement
except in the middle, where it shifts
back and forth from side to side, arch
ing up against the roof of the big
mouth like an immense wrinkled pink
serpent.
There is nothing stranger than the
working of an elephants tongue, un.
less it be the working of his breathing
apparatus when he sleeps. Elephants,
like human beings, have two sets of
teeth--the milk teeth, which are small
er than the permanent molars, fall
out when the animals are about four.
teen years old. These baby teeth.
which are, nevertheless, enormous, are
occasionally picked up by circus men
among the fodder and preserved as
curiosities. s.-Philadelphia Times.
