A TIGREss WITH a eRUDGE
She Gets Furious at sight of n Keep
er Who once Beat Her.

There IS a lean tigress in the Central
park menagcrie 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 of the keepers
Ordinarily the animal is quiet enough.
1t is only when this keeper passes
that she ceases to be purring cat and
becomes a fend incarnate. The other
morning the tigress was in an extreme
~ bad temper. When her fancied en-
envy stuck a mop III through the bars
to clean her cage. she sprang at him,
growing in thunderous bass. Nearly
everybody in the crowd stepped back
inyoluntarily. The keeper placed an
iron bar in the cage at the great eats
feet ana went on with his work. while
the animal snarled in impotcnt rage
and drew back her upper lip over two
cleaning white fangs.
"She doesn't seem to be fond of YOU"
ventured a bystander.
NO. there isn't much love lost be-
tween us replied the keeper. Her
grudges just like people. That tigress
came here eight years ago. A day or
two after she arrived had to punish
her. and she has never got over it.
She watches me all day out of the cor
ner of her eye, and every time l 80
by the cage she makes a jump. l sup
pose She thinks she'll get me some
time. If she does, l might as well say
goodby.'
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 to
view Then she resumed her nervous
tramp tramp.-New York Mail and

THE DEADLY COBRA.
How venomous Creature Is Handled
by Hindoo snake Chnrmers.

The creatures were on the defensive,
but not one of them attempted to
strike at the master who sat serenely
In front of them, so long as he did
nothing to annoy them. kullan talked
to them as if they were his dearest
friends. After a time one or the other
of them would lower its head collapse
its hood and begin to try to wriggle
away. Whereupon Kullan would give
it a smart little rap on the tail with
his stick ana bring it instantly TO at
tention again. Whether this man pos
sessed any special magic over these CO.
bras or whether the description given
below of how he could handle and play
with them was simply due TO his meth
cd | cannot say. He himself repudia-
ted the idea of magic and asserted pos
itively that any one who had the nee
essary nerve and dexterity could do
exactly the same.
He used no reed instrument or mu-
sic of any kind to propitiate the rep
tiles. He would simply squat on his
launches in front of them. and. after
they had been kissing and swaying
their uplifted heads backward and for
ward for a few minutes he raised his
hands above their heads and slowly
made them descend till they rested on
the snakes heads. lie then stroked
them gently. speaking all the time In
the most endearing IIindoostanee
terms The serpents appeared spell
bound. They made 10 effort to resent
the liberty, but remained quite still.
with heads uplitted. aud seemed rather
to enjoy it. Presently his hands would
descend down the uecbs about three
inches below the heads, his fingers
would close loosely around the neeks.
and he would lift them off the ground
and place them on his shoulders. The
looseness of the grip appeared to be
the main secret. The snakes, being in
no way hurt, would then slowly crawl
through his fingers and wind them
selves round his neck, his shoulders
and his arms. They appeared to real
ize that no harm was TO be done them.
and they made no effort TO resent
the handling. He would pick them
gently off one arm and place them on
the other and. in fact, stroke them and
pet them az if they had been pair
of harmless vorms.-Cornhill.

Profit. In Fraction. of Cents.

1t is most astonishing that trade
In these days is making its enormous
profits in the fractions or a cent. In
one of the cities Of the country there
was a bank president who gave his
millions for philanthropic purposes.
During his life, even on the days when
he was almost too intirm to walk. he
would trudge sadly and brokenly to
his home. one day a man met him on
the street and said:
why don't you take the street carr
He instantly replied. My dear
friend. DO Won appreciate the fact that
a hundred dollars would have TO work
half week to pay that fare:"
And yet he gave two millions to a
library and another million to a hos
pital That is the spirit Of modern
money making. ON the one hand il
gets the millions through tile fractions
of cents. anu with the other it spends
the millions without regard rs dec.-

The Tobacco Taste.

Even the best judges of tobacco
can't always be depended on" remark
ed a dealer to a reporter recently.
Sometimes their taste goes back on
them, so 10 speak, and remains blunt
ed for a week at a stretch. One of my
customers, for instance, is a well to do
merchant, who is very particular about
his cigars and one of the few real con-
noisseurs in town. When he is in
good form, he can tell more about to-
bacco on a superficial examination
than anybody l know, with the single
exception of a dealer who has a big
reputation as an expert About a
month ago this gentleman began to
complain about a favorite brand of
very high class cigars. l knew the
goods were all right and advised him
to buy something else for awhile. He
inally began smoking pipe and used
a -cheap cut plug that lie declared was
the best smoke he ever tried. One
day, all Of a sudden, his taste return
ed. and he went back to the cigars.
At present the bare smell of cut plug
will make him sick. Strange. isn't ii?
They tell me that the professional sam
piers of tobacco take a week off every
few months and never look at the
weed until they return to duty. In
that way they keep in condition.
