Led Away to be Eaten.

But among the multitude Of such
stories, I venture to think that the
following bears away the palm for
gruesome horror, and its truth has
been confirmed from many sources.
I had it from relative, the owner Of
the tea estate in Assam, where it oc-
Cured. S. B. was, not many years
ago-and for all I know still is-the
manager of tea-garden in Assam,
where man-eater was in the habit Of
carrying off the estate coolies for his
dinner, probably finding them much
less trouble than deer or pig. At
last, emboldened no doubt by unhin-
dered success in obtaining victims, he
took to carrying off coolies who were
sleeping in the verandas of the mana
gers bungalow. Many traps had been
laid for him, the bodies of victims
poisoned, watchers with guns on the
lookout over the killed men; but SO
great was his cunning that he had
escaped them all. Everything having
failed, things had become desperate,
and some of his planter friends de-
termined to sit up for the tiger on the
veranda, with native blankets dis
guising them-an exceedingly excit-
ing business, for, be it remembered,
no lights were allowed, and the brute
cared nothing for numbers, so that
his appearance might be too sudden
for unsteady nerves. One Of the
planters, after they had sat long
time in breathless suspense, entered
the house for something that he want
ed, and while looking for it was star
tied by sudden terrible uproar in the
veranda which he had just left. Seiz-
ing his rifle, he rushed out to find all
the party gone; but from the dark
tea-garden he heard the voice of s. B.
calling out, in agony: "Help! for
! Gods sake! Help! The tigers got
me. Help! help!'
Fixing his bayonet he ran towards
the spot, and in the dim gloom made
out the outline of the tiger dragging
B, who was walking by its side, his
hand in the brute's mouth. Without
moments hesitation he rushed up
to the tiger, plunged the bayonet into
its Size, at the same time pulling the
trigger. The tiger fell, releasing e,
and both men rushed back to the
house; but before they could reach
the steps, the tiger was upon them,
and again seized poor B, biting and
clawing his back and shoulders in a
terrible manner. 1t was mercifully
an expiring effort, for the brute fell
dead before it could kill B. 1t then
transpired that the tiger had stolen in
upon the watchers like shadow,
without the slightest warning, and
seized the nearest one, who happened
to be B, by the hand, which he had
raised to defend himself, and had
commenced to drag him off. In his
agony ne rose to his feet, and after
decending the steps Of the bungalow,
was actually walking off with his hand
in the siger's mouth, to be devoured,
when his friend, by his courage and
presence of mind, rescued him from
an awful death. The other watchers,
utterly panic-stricken, had made for
the nearest door, and had it not been
| for the GOODNESS of his brave rescuer,
I would have been added to the long
list of man-eatcr's victims. After
being i'll for many months, B. recov-
cred to tell the awful tale Of how he
had been sled away to be eaten. -

The great "Book of Martyrs " has never
been written. Fox's famous work deals only
with the martyrdom of the body. When
the real book of martyrs is written it will
deal with the mental nartyrdom Of the
woman who suffered in silence because
modesty would not let her put into speech

GENERAL BIBLE CONFERENCE

D. L. Moody has sent out the follow ing call for the Sixteenth general Bible conference at Northfield:
 Dear Friends and Felow-W Workers:
 In issuing an invitation for the Six teenth general Bible conference, to be held at Northfield from July 29th 60 August 18th, I would urge the attend ance of all who love the Lord Jesus Christ and desire to hasten his coming. Let us gather for fresh inspiration for work, and to be led deeper into the truth as 1t is in Jesus by brethren from this and other lands through whom God has so often spoken before. Many a man and woman can testify to bless ings received at previous conferences Is Gods arm shortened that he cannot do wonders again next August? Will He withhold His blessing if we come before Him in the right spirit? The war that is now upon us should not in- terfere with the conference. Rather let it make us more eager to come together to pray and take counsel regarding His work.
 
 pant-the line between the world and many protesting Christians has been almost obliterated. Sabbath desecra- tion has become more open. The bicy- cle and the theater and the Sunday ex- cursions have drawn our young people away from the house of God. Let us confess our sins as a nation as we'll as individuals, and let us cast out any Achan that may be in the camp, lest the favor of God be turned away from us. In the thirty-fourth chapter of Ex- odus we read that God promised to take care of the land of the children of Is- rael when they went up to Jerusalem to keep the appointed feasts. Let us take this promise to ourselves, believing that in this time of conflict through which the nation is passing, God will pour down upon us unusual blessing as we wait before Him.
 The following is a partial list of the speakers and teachers expected: The Rev George H. c. Macgregor and the Rev. G. Campbell Morgan of London, Fig, the Rev. A. T. Pierson of Brook lyn, the Rev. Dr. H. c. Mable of Bos- ton, the Rev. R. A. Torrey of Chicago, Charles Dudley Smith of London, Eng, Professor W. W. White of ndia, the Rev. A. c. Dixon of Brooklyn and Dr. c. I.

SAILING AROUND CUBA.

Business Chances for Enterprising
 Yankees--Cocoanuts and Pine-Ap-
 ples-Forgotten Villages.
 Especial Correspondence of the Journal and
 Courier.)
 Washington, D. C., July 13.- Next to bananas, the most important product of eastern Cuba is cocoanuts. The trees grow rapidly. without culti- vation, and every mans field is fringed with them. Fruiters buy the nuts at the rate of $S the thousand; and they are hulled on the island, ground in primitive mills and pressed for oil. Or, correctly speaking, we should put it in the past tense and say this was done, up to few weeks ago. Now ev- cry industry, however simple, is para Iyzed. Spanish soldiers, almost as hum gry as the starving people, occupy ev- cry village and hamlet and prey like locusts on the devastated land.
 The Cuban process of extracting oil from the cocoanut resembles that by which Texans make oil from cotton seed. The "cake' of solid residue Is fed to the pigs-about the only Tive stock" ever successfully raised in east ern Cuba-and the shells are used for fuel in the sugar factories. So far, the oil has been locally employed only as a lubricator for sugar-making machin- ery-a wicked waste of valuable ma terial, it seems to those who are fa- miliar with the splendid possibilities of the product. Here is an unequalled opening for the manufacturer of palm oil soap, cocoa-fibre mats, hats, etc., to say nothing of the hundred other uses to which parts of the tree, it's fruit and fibre, may be put. The say ing goes that a cocoa-tree bears nut for every day in the year. In time of peace one might buy dozen nuts for a twenty-cent coin anywhere in the rural districts of Cuba: and he who has never tasted the milk from one freshly gathered can have no idea what is meant by a draught fit for the gods" In their proper state, how ever, the nuts are not brown and hard, as you see them in northern markets they look like enormous pale-green ap- pies. slightly elongated-for each still wears it's Robin Hood jocket. which is removed before shipment.

The Stock Market.

New York, July 19.-Midsummer dull ness was the characteristic of the stock market to-day Those who have money to buy stocks on large scale and those who have large holdings to sell seemed to have gone off for a holiday outing. The bars among the small room traders took advantage of the dullness to ham, mer at the list here and there. They sold down Metropolitan Street Railway with some condolences; they had in their favor a rumor of yellow fever among the troops at Tampa and the weak traf- fic statement of St. Paul for the second week in July, showing a decrease in earnings, as compared with last year, of nearly $47,000, helped them. Prices of railroad stocks are now from five to fifteen points higher than they were year ago, but in the meantime dividend rates have in many cases been increas- ed and extra dividends disbursed. The worlds available supply of breadstuffs is not materially greater than it was year ago, but this country is assured of the largest crop in it's history and the crop of the world cannet yet be re- liably estimated.
 lHe I1lCt ol WHtdl IS III COnSbUuence held back and farmers are not bringing the new crop forward, thus keeping down the earnings of the grain-carry- ing roads. Nevertheless, railrod com panies are making extensive prepara- tions to handle a large grain and mer- chandise traffic during the coming fall and winter The situation seems to hinge largely on the price of wheat, or rather upon the grain movement which is held back by the failure of wheat to advance. Until reliable estimates can be made of the worlds new crop of wheat and the worlds consequent need for our surplus products speculation seems likely to halt.
