toned to firearms, but he knew enough
to cock it, and he thrust the muzzle
into the tigers mouth, and when the
brute grabbed it with his teeth he
pulled the trigger. That ended the
tigers days in hurry. When the
hunters came to the old mans hut in
the morning they found the man-eater
that they had been after hanging dead
over the window sill half inside and
half outside the house, with his head
shattered. The old man got the re-
ward of fifty rubles that the govern
ment offered for the destruction of the
tiger
But I think the most terrible story
the traveller told me was that of the
convict Petrovoski, who escaped from
tue island of Saghalen, where the
Russians have a penal colony. He
was vicious and desperate character,
who had had long career of crime
before he was brought to justice. He
succeeded in escaping from the island
to the mainland, and in making his
way to the Amoor River, 600 miles to
the southwest Every human being
whom he met that might betray him
he murdered, and in his long journey
he subsisted partly upon human flesh.
In the Amoor Valley he came upon
pack peddler whom he murdered and
robbed The officers following him
found the peddler's body and rifed
pack. Recognizing in this the work
of Petrovoski, they hurried on to the
river, fearing that the convict had
enough the start of them to have sue
ceeded in crossing into Manchuria be-
yond Russian jurisdiction. At the
rivers brink was the boat that he had
secured, and in it the bundle of valu-
ables that he had taken from the ped
dler's pack. The footprints of the
convict were in the soft mud, but min
gled with them were the tracks OF an
enormous tiger, which had sprung
upon him just as he was about to
shove the boat from the shore and car
ried him off,
The officers secured native trackers
and followed the tigers trail until
they came to the partly eaten body of
Petrovoski, still recognizable, and in
his clothes were the few rubies that
he had gained by numbering the ped
dler.-New York Sun.

Dispatches from Cuba tell how the
soldiers of orr army, burdencd with
hot flannel uniforms and heavy out
fits, are throwing away everything
they can on the march, even their
coats. In the terrible heat every
ounce of weight adds to discomfort
while marching, and, regardless of the
future, men are casting aside blankets,
extra clothing, tin plates and other
articles in their Merriam kits, caring
only to tighten their burdens.
Men in regular marching order who
have been sent to Cuba, volunteers as
well as regulars, carry in all nearly
sixty pounds, including their rifles,
enough to stagger man in a cool
climate. This casting away OF every
supertluoIs article is not new prac-
tice, for If was done by tens of thous-
ands of men in the Civil War and
has been done by soldiers in al
most all other wars.
Recognizing the unhtness OF the
regulation uniforms for the tropics,
the Government is having 10000 cot
ton drilling and duck uniforms made,

ments of The service, infantry, artillery
and cavalry, are like the once popular
Norfolk jacket, with belt of the same
material. The trimmings are of the
same style, but of different colors, blae
for the infantry, red for the artillery
and yellow for the cavalry.
This trimming, which lends an at
tractive bit of color to the uniforms,
consists of deep facing at the ends of
the sleeves, over the lapels Of the two
upper pockets, shoulder straps and
around the low cut military collar.
The trousers are perfectly plain.
The uniforms of privates and non
commissioned officers are worth about
50 each. Four big pockets are made
in the coats.
Dressed in these suits, with the
light underwear being provided by
the Government, the soldiers will feel
like new men. No attempt probably
will be made to carry the kit on forced
marches, except when absolutely nee
cessary.
Officers will wear uniforms of finer,
but no more comfortable, material.

they are delivssed they are inspected
by Government officials and, if all
right, accepted. Then they are for.
warded to the store house of the army
at Philadelphia to await orders.
When a regiment is recruited and
sworn into the United States service,
the captain of each company makes
out a requisition for the number Of
uniforms needed and forwards the
requisition to the quartermaster Of the
regiment. The colonel approves of
the requisition, and then it is for
warded to the brigade quartermaster,
who, if he has not the clothes required
on hand, makes requisition on the
corps quartermaster. The latter, when
uniforms are needed, makes requisi-
tion on the quartermaster- general, who
draws the supplies needed from the
depot at Philadelphia.
Upon the delivery of the clothing to
the regimental quartermaster, the
captains Of the several companies IRE
notified. The captains march their
men to headquarters and there they
receive the clothing apportioned to
them and for which the captain gives
a receipt to the regimental quarter
master, who keeps it for his voucher.
The same formula for the issuing of
clothing is followed in the navy.
The army and navy uniforms are
made in nearly every large city of the
Union, and the cost of those for the
privates is about So, and those for
men before the mast is about So per
man. The officers uniforms range in
price from $50 to S75. A bullet will,
however, pierce the one as quickly as
the other. The uniform of the gen.
eral officers of the army is double
breasted blouse of dark blue cloth or
serge, with four outside patch pockets
with flaps, rolling collar, with two
rows of buttons, grouped according to
rank, of the same kind as those worn
on the dress coat. For all other Of
ficers a single e-breasted blouse is worn,
of dark blue cloth or serge, with four
outside pockets with flaps, falling COL
lar, with five buttons in front of the
| same kind as those worn on the dress
coat. The skirt of the dress coat ex-
tends from one-third to one-half the
distance from the hip joint to the
knee.
Quite as important as the clothes
are the shoes. For Cuban service the
men will wear dark brown canvas
clothes, but the shoes will be the
same as worn at home They are COM
mon brogans, these shoes, stout of
upper and mighty of sole and heel.
In fact, the army shoe is not a thing
of beauty, but on the march it is a Joy
forever, as every veteran knows. They
are made of cowhide, and, if possible,
of the hide of very tough cow at
that. They are exceedingly broad of
sole and heel, and are made with the
double view of securing durabilit y and
comfort.

Suits of these materials weigh less
than half as much as the uniforms now
in use, and because of their looser
weave are much cooler. The cotton
drill uniforms, which are of light
buff color, weigh just two pounds and
fourteen ounces, while the duck, which
are light reddish tan, weigh four ounces
more.
No colors could be found bet
ter adapted for service in a country
where the men are exposed to dust and
dirt in all kinds of weather, and even
after hard, long campaign it is ex-
pected the uniforms will still present
fairly respectable appearance.

bids for the whole or part of the
clothing needed. Accompanying every
bid is check to guarantee that the
terms of the contract will be carried
out to the letter.
These bids are submitted, together
with samples of the goods required.
The bids are carefully examined and
compared and the lowest bidder (the
quality of goods being satisfactory
gets the contract. The goods con-

which will greatly add to the comfort
andgeneral appearance of the soldiers.
Already 1000 of these suits have been
completed and shipped to Tampa to
be forwarded to Cuba for General
Skaters command.
The new campaign uniform for in
fantry is made of canvas duck or drill.
Its distinguishing feature is Norfolk
jacket, OF blouse effect with a box
plat down the back. There are four
pockets in the front and five buttons.
The two upper pockets are faced with
blue cloth, the epaulet straps, cuffs
and collars being of the same material
and color.
The uniform is made with felled
seams. Brown canvas leggings some
what darker than the uniform are
used. A web cartridge belt, blue
woolen blanket, haversack to contain
tin plate, knife. fork and spoon and
rations, water bottle and tin cup
complete the equipment. No KNAPP
sack is used
The trimmings of the cavalry uni
form are yellow and of the artillery
red.
Regulation army uniforms now i'll
use are lined and weigh about eight
pounds, being better suited for use in
the Arctic regions than in climate
where the suns rays are as hot as the
blasts from Il furnace. The lining
carefully sewed inside the coats makes
them doubly warm, and officers do not
wonder that the men under them cast
the garments aside in disgust.
Different from any uniform ever be-
fore worn by any United States troops
are the new styles adopted, and they
are as attractive looking as they are
durable. The cloths used in the suits
for the Cuban campaign are what are
known to the trade as drill weave and
duck. Housewives would call the first
named material cotton drilling.

of war, and especially at the begin

are crying for million men to be

Record in Clothes Making.

Thomas Kitson, employed in one OF
the cloth mills of Pennsylvania, had
six sheep sheared at $50 o'clock one
morning recently. The wool was then
sorted, secured, dried, carded, spun,
woven into cloth and the cloth was
given to the tailors and made up into
a suit of clothes which were given to
Mr.. Kitson at 1884 o'clock, or six
hours and four minutes from the time
of shearing. The best previous rec
ord was about eight hours.

Fierce Siberian Tigers.

Every stranger who stays long at
Vladivostock, Siberia, hears plenty
of tiger stories. Here is one that the
traveller who owns the skin told me,
writes q famous traveller. 1t was OF
On old fellow, native, who lived
somewhere in the Amoor Valley, and
his house stood by itself in the forest
at some distance from a settlement.
He had no gun OF his own, but one
day a party of hunters who were try
ing to track down man-eating tiger
stopped at his house to rest on their
return to the settlement, and one Of
their number, finding his rife heavy
to carry, left it with the old man un-
til he should return that way the next
day. That night tiger came snuff
fling around the house and tried to
break in. He reared against the door
and struck it with his paw, but it was
too strongly built and strongly barred
for him to succeed in breakingit open.
But he smashed in the shutter of the
one small window it had no glass
and tried to force his way into the
house through it. 1t was small for
the tiger, but he worked his head
through and then his shoulders and
one foreleg.
All this time the old man was trem-
bling with fear, not knowing what to
do, for the tiger seemed certain to get
into the room at last. Then he
thought of the hunters rifle leaning
in the corner. He was not accus"
