This Tigress Has a Crudge.

There is a lean tigress in the Gen.
trail Park menagerie who spends a
part of the day beating her head
against the iron bars Of her cage In
a vain attempt to spring upon one or
the keepers. Ordinarily the animal Is
quiet enough. 1t is only when this
keeper passes that she ceases to be a
purring cat and becomes fiend In
carnate. The other morning the tigress
was in an extremely bad temper. When
her fancied enemy stuck mop IN
through the bars to clean her cage,
she sprang at him, growing IN thun'
derous bass. Nearly everybody In the
crowd stepped back involuntarily. The
keeper placed an iron bar in the cage
at the great cats feet and went on
with his work. while the animal snarl-
ed in impotent rage and drew back her
upper lip over two cleaning white
fangs.
"She doesn't seem to be fond OF
you," ventured bystander.
mo, there isn't much love lost be-
tween u.s." replied the keeper. Her
tantrums show that animals treasure
grudges just like people. That tigress
came here eight years ago. A day or
two after she arrived 1 had to punish
her and she's never gotten over it. She
watches me all day out of the corner
of her eye and every time l go by the
cage she makes jump. l suppose she
thinks she'll get me some time. II
she does I might as we'll say good by. u
While the man talked the tigress
looked at him with hate plainly stamp
ed on her face When he went away
she watched him until he was lost tc
view. Then she resumed her nervous
tramp-tramp.-New York Mail and Ex'
press.

A Championship Snake Story.

Henry Karnes, a we'll known team
ster Of Oil City. Pa. killed 95 snakes
in less than 10 minutes near Horse
creek one forenoon, and it is believed
that this is the county's record for
snake-killing exploits, although when
the facts are known the feat does not
seem so remarkable, but that is one OF
the features Of snake stories. Mr..
Karnes was loading stone on o. Il.
Strong's farm in the Horse creek dis
trict, and took his wife and several
other ladies with him from here to
pick berries. Hearing scream from
his wife, he hurried to her. She de-
clared that she had come across a rat
tlesnake. Mr.. Karnes made a search
and found a garter snake was the
cause Of the alarm, but it was mon
ster, four feet one inch in length and
big around. He killed the reptile and
discovered that inside Of it were 81
young ones, ranging from three to
eight inches in length. What few were
alive after he killed the mother snake
Mr.. Karnes put an end to. The
mother snake was measured with a
foot rule and the measurements and
count Of the slain are properly authen-
ticated.-Oil City Derrick.

Poles Frozen in Position.

: The telegraph line now in course OF
construction from point on Norton
sound, Alaska, through the gold mine
camps on the Upper Yukon river to
connect with the Canadian landline
system in Alberta province presents
some curious difficulties to engineers.
There being no wood in the country,
steel poles are employed similar to
those used for the trolley wires in
Brooklyn and winter is selected as the
season for work, because these poles
can be most easily sledded over the
ground and ice Of the frozen rivers
and lakes at that time. Even in sum-
mer the ground for depth of twelve
inches down is frozen solid, and in
setting a pole the operation consists
simply in blasting a hole in the froz-
en- soil, sticking in 3 pole and pouring
in water. This freezes, and, unless
the climate of Alaska changes, will re-
main frozen Indefinitely, holding the
pole firmly and solidly. 1t is expect
ed that this line will be in operation
through to Cape Nome early next
summer.-New York Sun.

ENCLkND'S PEASANTRY.
Their Present Condition Contrasted With
That Of Century Ago.

Hdt VI Sehtuty Ago.
The agricultural laborers Of to-day
are certainly better clad, more luxuri
ously fed, have far more leisure, are
! better educated. and are rapidly be-
coming better housed than their fore.
fathers a century ago. And If these
are the main constituents Of happi-
ness, then they are happier.
On the other hand, their grandfath'
ers and great -grandfathers were much
more gay and light hearted than the
modern; they enjoyed their lives much
more than their descendants do; they
had incomparably more laughter, more
amusement, more real delight IN the
labor of their hands; there was more
love among them and less hate. The
AGRICULTURAL laborer had a bad drunk.
en- time between twenty or thirty
years ago, and he has been growing
out of that. A village sot is now
very rare bird, as rare as he was
hundred years ago. Then the laboref
could not afford a drunken debauch-
he had not the wherewithal. His mas
ter. the farmer, did drink, and some,
times deeply in the days when he was
prospeTing. And for few years after
the rise Of the laborer's wages, some
twenty-five years ago, the laborer was
the publican's friend. But hard drink.
ing has been steadily declining, and
the habitual drunkard is looked upon
as a coarse brute to be avoided. Az
to other vices, things are pretty much
as they were; l am afraid rather
worse than better.
Perhaps the saddest characteristic
OF the men of the present, as compared
with the men Of the past, is tina: the
men OF the past were certainty more
self-dependent-I do not mean inae-
pendent, in the sense in which tnat
word is used now-more reSourcefuI:
more kindly, courteous, and contented
with their lot than their descendants
are.
think I know something about the
English peasantry of century or two
gone by. l think know just little
about the agricultural laborer nova
days. bear him a genuine love, and
feel with him a cordial sympathy. anil
there is no knowing any men or any
class of men whom we do not love aEd
sympathize with. But as to the agri.
cultural laborer of the future, | am
sometimes inclined to doubt seriously
whether before another century has
ended there will be any such thing as
an agricultural laborer to know

in the form Of dressed meat or


in the form Of dressed meat or
canned"
In one week recently 5000 goats
were received at the Union stock
yards in Chicago. They were slaugh-
tered and sold. and yet no butcher
bought anything but sheep and no
housewife served anything at dinner
but lamb or mutton.
The agricultural department wrote
to many goat raisers and asked them
if they had any difficulty at all in
selling goats for food. No Joke for
which Billy was ever the butt had
more genuine humor than had this ex-
tract from a letter written in answer
to the question by Thomas H. Mastin
Of Kansas City:
"you ask ii have any difficulty in
disposing of goats for meat. None at
all. The packers buy goats as we'll
as sheep. They make a difference of
about half cent a pound in favor OF
sheep when buying, and as they never
sell goats they save that difference in
selling"
The governments goat expert de-
clares that goat meat is much better
food than mutton. and that nothing
except the prejudice against the goat
born Of the paragrarhers' Jokes pre-
vents there being a demand for goats
flesh as food and a willingness to pay
a higher price for it than for mutton.
If this publication of Uncle Sam.
which really should be called I'm
Praise of the Goat" is widely read and
believed in there doubtless will soon
be an extraordinary demand for goat
flesh and no one need yearn in vain
at any time Of the year for bit Of
venison. It is the opinion Of half
dozen goat authorities quoted that
Billy's flesh. when Billy is properly
fed, cannot be distinguished from ven
ison. In fact. some of the enthusiasts
say that goat Is gamier and better
than deer, provided the animal gets
it's entire subsistence by browsing.
One correspondent of the agricul-
tural department living in New Mexico
tells of a certain st. Louis community
which ate Angora "venison" and
never knew that it was killed by the
knife of butcher instead Of by rifle
ball of the hunter.
Another correspondent tells Of a
woman who kept clearinghouse in
the country for summer sojourners
from New York. and who fed them
regularly twice week on goat meat
and was ccmplimented by her board
ers on the prime quality of her mu:-
ton.
One Texas enthusiast says: ANY
body who has ever tasted roasted
or barbecued piece of Angora mutton
will find it better than any meat he
ever before ate"
Still another goat advocate says
that the flesh is so percent better than
mutton, and yet it sells to the butchers
for less money. So much for preju-
dice.
In view of these encomiums it is not
so hard to forgive ones butcher for
delivering an occasional bit of Billy in
lieu Of ram.

A MODERN MOTHERS DIARY.

Tomorrow Clifford will be years, 8
months, 13 days, 6 hours. % minutes
and 10 second old, the age at which,
according to the best German authori-
ties, boy, taxed with being good for
nothing, is most likely to reply:
81 have thought Of this, mamma! l
am resolved to do differently. Here
after l shall invariably charge ten
cents for being good!"
But I shrank from putting my boy

Queen Vfctoria's Tartan.

Early in her reign Queen Victoria
adopted tartan, or, to be exact, she
resumed one, for by way of James ].
of England she is entitled to use one.
Accordingly, the royal household dis
ports itself in the dress plaid Of the
Stuarts when it holds forth at Bal
moral, and it has now become so thor
oughly identified with the present
English sovereign that it Is called the
Victoria tartan. This is the we'll
known blue, green, white and yellow
plaid mounted on a white ground, in
stead of the vivid red that is usually
seen.
To complicate the matter of tartans
further, each clan was likely to have
hunting plaid, a dress plaid. a
mourning plaid, and the plaid that
was worn exclusively by the chief and
his immediate family. Then, too, If
you happen to be Cameron, for ex-
ample. and think it an easy matter to
betake yourself to shop and demand
the Cameron plaid, you had better be
certain whether you are Cameron Of
Lochiel or a Cameron Of Erracht.
Similarly, you may be Macdonald of
Clanranald, of Sleat, or Of Staffa, 1t
will make an immense difference in
the kind of tartan you get, and it Is
not to be expected that Campbell of
Argyll would be seen in the tartan of
the Campbells Of Cawdor, or in that
Of the Campbells of Loudoun. There
is, by the way, at least one of the large
shops in New York that always has
the correct tartans imported from
Scotland in stock. AS the demand for
them increases it is probable that it
will be easy to obtain the genuine ar
ticle here will all the accuracy that
distinguishes the Edinburgh shops.

A Feat Beyond Him.

A Scottish prison chaplain, recently
appointed, entered one of the cells on
his first round of inspection, and with
much pomposity thus addressed the
prisoner who occupied it: well, my
man, do you know who l am?' mo
nor I dinna care!" was the noncha-
liant reply. well, I'm your new chap
lain" "Oh, ye are? Then 1 hae heard
O. We befo1e!" And what did you
hear?" returned the chaplain, his GU
riosity getting the better OF his dig
nifty. "Well, l heard that the last twa
kinks ye were in ye preached them
bath empty; but We wilma find it such
an easy matter to do the same wi this
one."-The King.
