A cheerful place is Soraponjee, In In
dia. The rainfall there often is as
great In one afternoon In the rainy
season as it is in New York state in a
whole year. and tigers and leopards
are as plentiful as dogs are on New
York's east side. On account of the
tremendous dampness the cattle have
to be driven to the top of the hills, so
that they shall not get their feet too
wet and the tigers and leopards climb
to these high attitudes Also because
they are imbued with the kindly desire
to save those cattle from pneumonia
and other ills by eating them carefully
and with due enjoyment.
As there are no forests on the hills
the tigers prowl about all night in the
open, lying concealed during the day
In the limestone caves, the coal pits
and between the creyices Of the rocks.
The residents come upon them in all
manner of odd hooks and corners so
Unexpectedly that the beasts are as
much alarmed as themselves and usu-
ally scamper off In one direction, their
disturbers flying in the opposite one.
No one stirs out at nighttime without a
powerful lantern or torch, for, as a
rule, wild beasts will not come near a
light, though this rule does not hold
good in all cases.-New York Herald.

asked to give the facts in her own case.
She had lump in her breast. which
she did not think was cancer until ii
became as large as ones fist. Finally
one came in her other breast also, then
she knew it was cancer, but feared it
was then too late for cure. She had
heard so much, however, OF certain
wonderful cures made by DR.. and Mrs.

Embraces and kisses are rehearsed

chooses. The director will place their

"And the kiss? Shall 1t be delivered
by the wooer on the lips of the won
