The Man-Eating Tiger.

AS Is generally known, man-eating
tiger Is usually an old Least which has
got past his time for catching game,
and so seeks an easier prey in human
beings. But tigers born of q man-eat-
ing tigress are always man-eaters, for
they get their first lessons in hunting
from their mother. A tigress teaches
her whelps to hunt as cat does her
kittens, by bringing them live prey to
practice upon. Ten years ago, in one
of the hill districts of India, tigress
was killed, whose taking off caused
much rejoicing among the natives. and
was told at length in many of the In
dian and English newspapers. She
was known all over India as the man
eater who once had given her whelps
n live man to play with. sac carried
off the man from an open hut in the
forest where some woodcutters were
sleeping. His companions took refuge
I'm trees. and from their place OF safety
saw her take the man alive to where
the whelps were waiting close by, ana
lay him down before them. AS the
man attempted to crawl away the
whelps would cling to his legs with
teeth and claws. the tigress looking on
and purring with pleasure. Whenever
the man got too far away from the
tigress. she would bound after him and
bring him back. When the whelps
had had enough of their sport, the
tigress sprang upon the man, and,
holding him down with her forepaws,
began her meal from his living body.

about his team, admiring one horse in
particular. All said the coachman,

This scourge is Mankind's Most Dan
werOus Enemy.


This scourge In Mankind's Most Dana
gerous Enemy.
DR.. George II. Keene, Of Howard, r..
l., read paper on Municipal Respon-
sibility in the Spread of Tuberculosis"
before the twenty-sixth national con-
ference on charities and correction at
Cincinnati. Lively interest was taken
in the paper and the discussion which
followed 1t.
Every new case Of tuberculosis"
DIR. Keene said, must be derived from
another case of direct or indirect infec-
ton. The disease can only be trans
mitted to the tubercule bacilli.
'"rhis Is disease which has claimed
more victims than all the wars and
all the plaques and scourges of the
human race. Even since the few
short years since Koch's discovery
over 2,O00,000 persons on this CONT
nent have succumbed to its fatal infec-
ton. The annual tribute Of the United
States to this scourge is over 100000
of its inhabitants.
Each year the World yields up l.
005,OO0; each day, 5000; each minute,
2, of its people as a sacrifice Of this
plague. OF the 7O,0OO,OO0 individuals
now peopling these United States TO-
600, 900 must inevitably die of this dis
AIa If the present ratio Is kept up.
1.-The underlying principle in any
warfare against tuberculosis must be
the universal knowledge and recogni-
ton of the fact that we are to deal
with a disease that is communicated
from one individual to another, and
where there are no germs of the dis
ease there it can never originate de
novo. A house, n neighbOrhoOd, coun.
try, in fact, can become infected with
this disease, and this fact has been re-
peatedly established by historical
data.
"'rhat meat from the tuberculosis
animals is capable of producing tuber-
culoss has been demonstrated by
scientific experiments. We cook our
meat, but the lovers of rare roast beef
and rare steak, or even Bologna sau-
sage, will probably orten take into
their stomachs many tubercle bacilli
whose vitality has been unimpaired.
But what are we to say of the thou
sands of infants that die annually
from tubercular LESSONS as n result of
taking milk from tuberculous cows?
Whose is the responsibility for feeding
them upon n diet whose results are as
surely fatal as slow poison If they be-
long to the large majority of the sus-
ceptible? Milk is one of the chief in
fected foods which we obtain from the
lower animals, and it is the only ami
NAL food which we consume uncooked.
The milk supply of n municipality
should be as carefully watched as its
water supply.
1.-The people must know just what
this disease is and just how it is con-
tracted. They must be taught that
the chief agent of contamination In
the human family is the sputum. How
important, then, are those newer ordi-
nances which many cities are now
making, prohibiting splitting in public
places, public buildings and public
conveyances?
Consumption is an indoor disease.
Where sunlight and pure air are boun-
tifully enjoyed there tuberculosis can
find but little Judgment"

An Au,tri.n,. Rash wager.

A young Austrian nobleman, who
had the reputation of being brilliant
talker, made n wager with a club
friend that during the first year Of
his marriage with the daughter Of a
certain Count he would preserve a
rigid silence when in her presence;
and, in fact, would not speak single
word to her. This resolution he faith
fully kept, but, owing to the fact that
the wager was not made public, some
very curious consequences ensued.
His wife, believing him to he insane.
privately sent a brain specialist to ex-
anime the taciturn gentleman. He
was on the point Of being conveyed
to sanatorium when he disclosed the
reason of his behavior. When the
year was up he claimed his wager.
which was duly paid.

Natives, Huts in samoa.

The natives of Samoa live in rude
huts usually surrounded by an in
closed yard, which is paved with small
pieces Of lava. The floors Of the dwell
ings are of the same material, over
which woven mats are spread, cover
ing the sharp points of the stones
which form the floor. The houses rest
on central and outer posts. and the
space between these is shut off by
means of palm leaf mats so as to keep
out wind and rain and to provide pro-
lection ut night The framework Of
the roofs is covered with leaves of the
sugar cane which are very skillfully
put together. The harbor at Apia Is
surrounded by coral reefs which are
the cause Of many shipwrecks. The
Samoans, who spend a great deal of
their time on the water. know these
reefs thoroughly, and their services
are invaluable to navigators. The ma
tives are seldom seen In their original
costume, and the men as well as the
women of those regions which are
most visited by foreigners wear
skirt-like garment and light jacket

Approves the Suppression of An In

WASHINGTON, Sept. l.-Secretary,
Root has approved the action of General
Ludlow in suppressing the Reconcentrado,
a paper formerly published at Havana.
After the paper had been suppressed, the
public press in Washington appealed to
Secretary Root and said that the action
of General Ludlow was an infringement on
the rights of citizenship. The secretary
referred the whole matter to General
Brooke for report, who, in turn, referred it
to General ludlow. The report of General
Ludlow, endorsed by General Brooke, has
been received at the war department and
Secretary Root disposes of it in the follow
ing engrossment:
''War Department, Washington, Sept. IA,

been an indecent publication. Its suppress
