the pampered appetite OF Americans for

other work done by our naval and army

The Ghurkas.

The average "monkey-man of the
Himalayas" is by no means type of
beauty. A short body, little legs,
round head, and fiat features are a
few Of his prominent physical charac-
teristics; and being for long period
clothed in one of the ugliest uniforms
the genius of man over invented, he
could not compete in picturesqueness
with the fine physique and carriage of
the handsome Sikhs, Panthans, or
Rayputs. But, in spite of his unpre-
possessing appearance, once let his
officers gain his respect, and he is
ready to follow them with dog-like
fidelity, to Ego anywhere, and do
anthing," to use hackneyed phrase,
and these qualities which commend
themselves to a Ghurka are the same
as those which serve to endear IN
officer to the British private. In
deed, the devotion, courage, energy
of character, and love of enterprise of
these formidable but merry little war
riors are such that the writer of re-
cent article on the native army gives
expression to his conviction that
"there is not single instance on rec.

Truck Patches For the Poor.

Four years ago Governor Pingree,
then Mayor, conceived the idea of max.
ing use of the vacant lots in and around
Detroit for trucking purposes, by the
unemployed poor. As o result 900
families produced $1s, 900 worth of.
vegetables, at an expense of only $500,
from about 45O acres Of land. That
practical demonstration at once made
the "Pingree potato patch" idea popu-
lar, and it was applied here last year.
The operations were on small scale,
for only about twenty-five acres of
ground we're secured, but the majority
of the 100 families who worked this
land last year reported that they
raised enough vegetables to supply
them through the winter. This year
the committee have secured double
the former acreage, which means that
200 families will be given an oppOrtun-
ity to do much toward earning their
own subsistence and certainly retain
their self-respect. Philadelphia Led

The first mate grinned. His grin
was an eloquent one, and tho boy
shuddered as he saw it.
"How did you find him, Mr.. Bill
ings?" continued the skipper.
"Behind one of the cotton bales,
sir" the mate replied. "He had all
old mutton bone with the meat all
gnawed of. Provisions, 1 suppose,
for the voyage"
Provisions, Ell? Well, it's precious
few provisions he'll get aboard this
ship, unless he works for them. Pity
we're out so far or we might put him
ashore"
For the first time the stowaway
spoke.
"Please don't put me ashore!'' he
cried. Anything but that. must

willing to work my way"
"Shut up!" snarled the mate, en-
phasizing his remark by ting at the
stowaway's ear. "Who gave you leave
to talk, I'd like to know? Shut up,
and hark to what the captain says"
"Whnt's your name, and where d'ye
come from?" demanded the captain,
notebook in hand.
Trembling the boy replied that he
was Dick Harley, late of the Tenter-
den grammar school,; that his father,
widower, had left him behind in
England while he went to South Africa
rs assistant surveyor on the new
Matabeleland railway line; that moth
ing had been heard from that kindly
father for o year or more, and lastly
that, compelled to leave school on ac-
count of unpaid bills, he had resolved
to 60 to South Africa and find his
missing parent.
"And so you thought to steal pass
age on the Only Son of Portsmouth" 2"
said the skipper.

other Ship" pleaded the boy. "They
said looked too weak to work."
"Weak or not, you've got to work
aboard the Only Son." said the first
mate; hasn't he, sir?"
"That's correct. Mr.. Billings" he
answered. ''Jf he doesn't want to pay
for his passage, try him with the
ropes end"
"Aye, aye, sir!''
And again Billings grinned elo-
qlently as he led the boy forward.
A quiet, elderly gentleman, who
had been watching these proceedings,
now stepped forward.
"Don't hurt him, Mr.. Billings" he
said. "He's Lnly child, you
know"
Captains orders. sir" answered
the mate, giving Dick Harley's ear an
extra tweak.
The skipper laughed.
Don't You waste any sympathy on
that youngster." he exclaimed. 1--WE
can't afford to have any useless, white
handed stowaways aboard vessel

The man addressed as Lancelot
looked grave.
''True," he said, "they did think in
London that an attempt might be
made to rob the ship. But
still, this mere boy"

INDIAN TIGER SHOOTING.
A Buffalo Calf Is Placed in the Jungle
Telnpt the Game.

A Buffalo Calf Is Placed In the Jungle to
Tempt the Game.
A buffalo calf, or "hela," as the in
habitants call it, is fastened by the
leg in the usual path of the tiger, 80
that the next time he passes that way
he may find a meal ready to his
mouth.
Early next morning the place is Wis
tied, and, if "stripes" has. risen to the
occasion, it sometimes happens that
he is found finishing his breakfast,
when matters are greatly simplifed
by potting him. Usually, however,
he is found to have eaten what he
wanted, washed it down with 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 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 particu-
lar piece of jungle, and no tracks can
be found leaving it, it follows that
''stripes" is probably inside.
A number of men, varying in ac-
cordance to the size of the Jungle to
be beaten, are next collected from the
various villages in the neighborhood
and arranged round what is considered
a triangle, the sides of which are rep
resented by lines of men in trees to
act as ''stops," and the base by the
beaters proper, armed with axes,
sticks, tomtoms (native drums), or
anything else they can get hold of
calculated to make noise.
Through the apex of the triangle the
path passes which it is considered the
tiger will probably take on being dis
turbed, 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 of the side of
the triangle.
The beaters proper simply walk
through the Jungle, either shouting
and making q noise, or merely tap
ping sticks together, according to the
tiger one has to deal with.
A savage old tiger-one which has
been already beaten over, will OH
hearing great noise, almost invaria-
bly, 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 very
quietly.-Outing.
