Too Much For the r,rer.

A keeper AZ the Philadelphia zoo told
the following interesting story Of an
encounter he once had with a tiger in
India
"With several companions l was on
my way to visit some native friends
in neighboring village. and as the
jungle paths were the shortest route
we made the trip in chairs slung on
carriers shoulders. l was about half
asleep from the swinging motion when
was pitched out by the native drop
ping the poles and scampering off,
That's how | met my tiger With a
bound he was on me and had taken a
mouthful of my coat, intending, no
doubt, to carry me into the dense IN
dergrowth.
Fortunately for me l had big bot
tie Of ammonia in my coat pocket, car
ried it for snake bites, you know, and
when the brute took the mouthful he
broke the bottle. The Whit he got
made his whiskers curl, and one was
enough. He rolled over couple of
times, gasping and waving his paws,
and then made off as quickly as he
appeared. Hurt? No, only a few
bruises from the fall, but the close
shave took my nerves for some
months"

Making Carfcature..

The way in which some artists can
distort features without making them
unacceptable is certainly very re
markable. Thomas Mast possessed
this faculty to an extraordinary degree
and he had very peculiar way of
adding new faces to his mental pho
tograph gallery. When a fresh sub
ject would arise in politics, for In
stance, he would invent some pretext
to call upon him at his office or house
and hold him in conversation as long
as possible, studying his features.
When he took his departure he would
purposely leave his cane. Once outside
Mast would make a hasty pencil sketch
on a card and would usually find that
his memory was deficient as to some
detail He would then return, ostensi-
bly, for the cane. and another look at
the victim would enable him to per-
feet his sketch. After that he had the
man forever.
When Joe Keppler was alive he used
TO make frequent trips to Washington
for the purpose of seeing statesmen
whom he wanted to draw. He was
very clever at catching likenesses and
scarcely ever referred to photograph.

E6ect OF renr ON wounds.

The fear Of poison in a lacerated
wound under certain circumstances is
in itself quite sufficient to give a
wounded man tetanus, or lockjaw,
than which 10 more horrible corlplica-
ton exists. Thus for long time it
was thought that the natives of the
Solomon and other neighboring is
lands lately added to the empis g used
poisoned arrows and many white men
shot by them died in tetanic convul-
sions. including one very horrible case
of commander in the navy who had
made special study of tetanus.
At length the French governor of
New Caledonia, noticing that the symp-
toms exhibited We're not consistent
with the use of any known poison, ap-
pointed medical commission to in
quire into the affair, when it was dis
covered that the arrows of the natives
We're not poisoned at all although con-
structed in such a way that small
piece of the bone point almost always
remained in the wound The irritation
produced by this prevented the wound
from healing quickly, and the mental
disturbance produced by fear and per-
haps change of climate did the rest.
1t was discovered at the same time
that the natives of other islands who
firmly believed in the poison theory
seldom suffered much Inconvenience
from the arrow wounds, because they
believed that the spells given them by
their own sorcerers prevented the poi
son from taking effect.-Pall Mall Ga

Irazcible Won Balow.

During Hans Won Bulow's leader
ship OF the orchestra at Hanover q
tenor of fame was engaged to play a
star role in "Lohengrin," according to
Das Ncue Blatt, and while the singer
was rehearsing his part Bulow was
forced to go over the same bars num-
Der of times without the new actor
beginning to sing. Tired of his wasted
efforts, the leader stopped the orchestra
and angrily turned to the singer.
81 know that a tenor is proverbially
stupid" he said, "but you seem to
make an extensive use of this unwrit-
ten law"
At another time, while one Of his
grand intermezzos was being played
with great feeling by his musicians, a
peculiar noise, hardly perceptible by
unframed ears, annoyed the leader for
some little time At first he thought
it resembled the futter Of wings, but
soon he discovered an elegant lady
tanning herself In one of the boxes
close by. Bulow kept on with his ges,
lures, fixing his eyes on the offender
in manner which meant reproof. The
lady, not needing this, was suddenly
surprised by the leader dropping his
stick and turning toward her.
MADAM" he cried, 'if fan you must
please at least keep time with your in
fernal nuisance"

The roads in Normandy are splendid
for cycling. the only disadvantage be-
ing that the straightness of many main
routes hides the beauty of the country,
for which reason it is often a good
plan, when time is not an object, to
pick out the byways on the map. This
is the easier because not only are the
byways exccllently kept, but the name
of French village is plainly written
up. and one does not have ridiculous
difficulty, as sometimes in England, in
finding out where one is. Signposts
and milestones are abundant, and the
decimal system renders them perfectly
simple and exact. Highways and

MUSCLES the NOUN.

An elastic play of the muscles of the
mouth is necessary, not only for dis
tinct utterance, but for expression of
the face as well. Next to the eyes, the
mouth has the greatest significance in
the play of the features. When all
the muscles of the mouth are in nor
NAL tension, the line of the mouth is
waving and beautiful. In singing and
speaking. as well as in repose, all un.
due tension of the muscles must be
guarded against. else the mouth may
assume forced and strained express
