PEiCOCKS AND TIGERS.
From The London Spectator

ripn me l>OnuOn spectator.
PeacOcks and tigers are believed Usually IN
I'VE together. There IL also a common Jungle
legend that leopards and tigers can fascinate
peacocks. The story may originate in the fact
that both leopards and peacocks have spots. and
that there Is some mysterious relationship be
tween them Colonel Tyler had an experience
when showed that the natives believe in the
story. When stalking a peacock he was rather
surprised TO see how near it allowed him to
approach. The bird paid no attention to him.
but was gazing intently. as if fascinated at a
ittle patch of jungle just in front Looking in
the SAME direction he saw leopard stealing
on IT'S belly toward the bird. which continued TO
remain still in the same position. He was
greatly surprised. for he had meyer even heard
Of leopards in that neighborhOod but his as
tonshment was greater when. on his raising his

lie said that for moment he thought he
must be going mad. and all the Indian tales of
enchanted princes and fairies were wolves and
the like flashed through his recollection. The
next moment he saw a man very cleverly dis
guised in a leopard skin. with a we-stufred
mead and bow and arrow i'm one paw standing
before him. The man dressed was n pro-
feSslonal fowler who said that in that disguise
he could always approach near enough to shoot
the birds with a bow and arrow, and sometimes
