Tiger Btte Tint Painea

Personal experience of tiger bites are are more difficult to obtain, partly be- cause few now attempt tiger-shooting on foot. Out of eight instances given by Mir. Hirst, pain is mentioned in only one. In this case a tiger seized Mr. J Hansard. now forest officer in Cey- lon, by slipping behind him, putting its paws on his shoulders and taking the back of his neck in it's jaws. The beast bit his neck twice as it dragged him down ravine, and he felt intense pain as the teeth crunched through at tie base of the skull. The tiger was shot and it's victim did not feel pain after ward
 Bites of leopards, which are not heavy are often very painful. But this is not invariable. Mr. w. A. Willock, of the Indian civil service, felt neither terror nor pain as he was mauled by big leopard; and MT. Baker, of Gunyong, North Cachar, while having his arm broken by leopard's bite felt pang like toothache, but only for an in, stant.
 Lieut.. Gen. Brownlow, R. F., bitten through hand and thigh. was una- ware that the tiger had done more than give him tremendous shaking and is quite positive that to be killed by tiger must be painless extinction for a deer or other animal. Y World

In one Of the local papers up there an
account of an incident which seemed
TO go a good way toward confirming
the truth of a startling belief that has
prevailed from time out of mind
among the natives of the mountains in
Lancaster, York and adjacent coun-
ties of Pennsylvania, where the cop
perhead snake dwells in unpleasant
abundance, that this venomous snake
will not bite children. There are
many wonderful stories told over
there, especially in the famous Welsh
mountain country, about this strange
lenity of the copperhead toward chill
dren. 1 never heard of this belief be-
ing INDUCED anywhere else than in
that part of Pennsylvania; but this
New Jersey incident rather inclines
me TO think that, unaccountable as IL
may seem, there must be more than
fancy or superstition In It.

tion Of a little parafiin rubbed on to
them with a piece of flannel. After
ward polish with alcohol.
Toremoye stains from linen rub them
on either side with yellow soap, and
then apply starch made into a paste
with cold water. Rub this paste well
into the stains and then put the cloth
to hang out in the open air-if possible
in the sun-for some hours. After IL
has been washed in the ordinary way
the stains will have disappeared.
To clean enameled saucepans: Dis
solve half a teaspoonful Of chloride OF
lime in a saucepan of water and boil
till all the stain is removed.
To prevent the saucepan burning
when boiling milk: Rinse well with
cold water before putting the milk in,
and heat over a slow fire.
The oil left from sardines Is an ex-

or pilots, as they are called In New
Jersey-are uncomfortably common.
The farm is the Loan farm. At the
time refer TO one of Loans children
a little girl Of three, was playing in the
front yard, and her mother noticed
her sitting in the grass near the gate.
Every now and then the child was
heard to laugh gleefully, and Mrs.
Loan at last walked out TO see what
il was that amused the child so much.
When the child saw her mother COM
ING. she shouted:
"Tlurry, mamma, and see the live
carpet rags!'
AT the same time she held up to her
mothers gaze a snake she had grasped
in her hand which twisted and
squirmed I'm the air. Mrs. Loan saw at
once that the snake was a copperhead.
Although she almost swooned with
terror. she acted with rare presence
Of mind. 1t occurred TO her that il
she showed her alarm by crying out
suddenly to her, the child would un-
doubtedly become frightened, and the
change that would naturally follow in
her handling of the deadly reptile
might anger the snake and cause 1t TO
sink its venomous fangs into her hand
or face. With a great effort, Mrs.
Loan controlled herself sufficiently to
say. coaXingly:
".Fetch il 10 mamma, dear. Don't
hurt it,
"But there's two Of 'em, mamma
replied the little girl. I'll fetch 'em
both
"she reached down and picked up
another copperhead that lay in tie
grass which Mrs. Loan had not seen,
and came toddling along the path
toward her mother with q wriggling
snake in each hand. Mrs. Loan, al
though almost paralyzed with terror
over the plight her little one was in,
for one stroke of copperhead's fang
would have been her swift and sure
death. retained her composure, and
when the child was within a couple OF
yards of her spoke to her, and said;
"'Put them on the ground, darling,
and let me see them walk
This seemed 10 please the child, and
she placed the copperheads in the
path. They then saw Mrs. Loan for
the first time, and their manner
changed instantly. The copperhead,
unlike the rattlesnake, is aggressive,
and these two, showing all the fierce
ness of their nature, at once moved
toward the child's mother, plainly
with hostile intent. The child clapped
her hands and started TO catch the
snakes again. Her mother rushed
around the snakes. and snatching the
child up in her arms, few TO the house,
closed the door behind her, and fell
fainting 70 the floor. The copper
heads were killed later, and the little
girl mourned for her deadly playthings
for days"
