I have more than once heard of
man defending himself from the on
slaught of lion or tiger by thrusting
his rifle barrels down its throat In the
last resort. Poor Major Sandbach Of
the artillery came to his death In So
maitland few years ago In attempting
to thus hold off a lioness, which never
theless managed to infiict on his hand
and arm bites which proved fatal. A
curious story of the same kind comes
from the Khandwa district of northern
India.
Mr. Bayley, also an artillery officer,
was charged by wounded tiger which
he was following up. He missed 1t
with his first barrel, and the second
failed to go off. The tiger sprang, and
Mr.. Bayley jumped to one side, thrust
Ing out his rifle TO keep the brute off.
The tiger, 1t Is stated, seized the bar
rels and drove his teeth through them
and, being unable to withdraw them,
was shot by Captain Harrison, Mr..
Bayley's companion.
In his death struggle the tiger drag
.ged the rifle from the owners hands,
and the jar caused by the stock strik-
ing the ground broke off two teeth
which We're imbedded In the steel. This
story is said to be absolutely true; but
with the profoundest respect for the
strength of the tigers jaws and teeth,
l venture to think 1t wants explana-

Women of . Dutch village.

The village women of Holland take
special care to keep the tips Of their
white lace hoods stiff with starch,
which is as necessary perfection in
their toilet as polished linen and spot
less collars with ours. This delicate
hood Is worn over a black skulleap
that fits the closely clipped head very
much like the headgear of nun. The
elderly women, widows. often wear a
straw bonnet over 1t. A jacket of dark
blue, with n breastplece of cream cloth
aud dark blue border of the same cloth
at the hips, constitutes the dress of
the women and the girls.
The skirts protrude Mt the hips in a
grotesque fashion on account of the
many fiannels which they wind about
the body, evidently n fad with them
as with many peasants of the Black
forest, where the custom prevails to
wear as many skirts as the spare box
will allow, adding at least one skirt
every year, They oil dress alike, and
the talk about dress therefore does not
slip into their conversations, and on
that score they are at eternal peace
with one another, for no change of
dress has occurred among them for
centuries and will not for years to

A Mx.teriona Password.

The Baroness Burdett- Coutts was
once shopping In Paris and was passed
from one department to another by
the shopmen, always with the remark.
1.-TWO ton" She was escorted from
counter to counter, and everywhere the
cabalistic words two ten" We're re-
peated
Struck by the popularity of this re-
frain, the baroness asked the proprietor
as she left the establishment: pray
what does two ten mean? / noticed
each assistant said 1t to the other
wherever l went In your shop"
ooh, 1t is nothing" he replied, mere
ly password that they are in the hab-
It Of exchanging"
But baroness was not satisfied
with this explanation. SO in the even
ing, when the porter, n young boy.
brought home her purchases, she said:
MY boy, would you like to earn 5
francs"
OF course he had no objection.
Tell me-" said the lady, what does
two ten mean. and will give you 8
francs"
"Why, don't you know, ma'amT said
he, evidently astounded at her igno-
rance. at means, Keep your two
eyes on her ten fingers"
The mystery was solved. The shop
men of the Trois Quarters had taken
the richest and the most generous wo-
man in Great Britain for a shoplifter.
