"But they were not at all vulgar"
Lady Caroline ventured to remon-

If not interfered with the tiger will
generally run from, rather than attack,
man. A writer from India tells a
story Of how, having sent his guns and
luncheon on before him, his attention
was arrested by rustic in the Jungle
and looking that way, he saw tiger
crouched low, coming rapidly toward
him. He says: "My first feeling was
one of horror, for it seemed all up with
me, the tiger being very close and in
a rush. Of course, it was not me, but
the pony, that he wanted, but had he
knocked out the latter his own fears
at finding a man under him would
have made him maui me. too. There
was but one thing to be done, namely,
to put bold front on it and try to
frighten him, and 1, therefore, instant
ly wheeled the ponys head toward
him, shouting at the same moment.
The tiger stopped short and stared at
me, but he did not offer to retreat. I
then moved the pony toward him,
shouting loudly as I did so, and the
tiger then turned his tail to me. and,
having retired about thirty yards, he
sat bolt upright on his launches and
stared at me. was naturally desircus
Of withdrawing from an interview so
unpleasant to me in my unarmed con-

the tiger, waving my arm and sternly
ordering him off, and before I reached
him he decided to move himself, this

contrast to his previous orderly, not to
say dignified, retreat, and. having at
last routed him, lost no time in can

Dangers of Libertinism.

So there has Seen a great deal of
fascination thrown around libertinism.
Society is very severe upon the impur-
lly that turks around the alleys and
low haunts of the town The law pur-
sues it, smites it, incarcerates it, tries
to destroy it. You know as well as l
that society becomes lenient in proper
| ton as impurity becomes aff1uent or is
in elevated circles, and finally society
is silent or disposed to palliate. Where
is the judge, the jury, the police officer
that dare arraign the wealthy liber-
tine? He walks tie streets, he rides
the parks, he flaunts his iniquity in
the eyes of the pure. The bag of I'M
! cleanness looks out of the tapestried
window. Where is the law that dares
take the brazen wretches and put their
faces in an iron frame of state pris-
on window?

keep me in pin money. l spend $4,000

the plain young man. ooh, stocks, en-
terprises-all that sort of thing, you
know" The plain young man has
hardly enough money to pay his board
and has to wear clothes after they are
out of fashion and deny himself all
luxuries. After awhile he gets tired of
his plodding and he goes to the man
who has achieved suddenly large es-
tate, and he says. Just show me how
it is done" And he is shown. He
soon learns how, and, although he is
almost all the time idle now and has
resigned his position in the bank or
the factory or the store, he has more
money than he ever had, trades off his
old silver watch for gold one with a
flashing chain, sets his hat little far

Now, if he can escape the penitentiary

When the war ended he returned to
Rhode Island, and became one of her

The outbreak of the revolutionary
war found the patriots without a
navy. Congress had to create one.
Four merchantmen were first pur-
chased, hastily equipped with guns
and sent to sea as cruisers: but their
defects as war vessels soon became so
apparent that congress determined at
once to set about the building Of a
navy. October 13. 1775, congress
ordered two cruisers built; and on
December 10, the order was increased
to five 32-gun ships, five 2S-gun shirs
and three-24 gun ships. They were to
be ready for the sea by the following
April. The names given to the
thirteen vessels were: Boston, Con-
gress, bingham, Delaware, Hancock.
Montgomery, Providence, Raleigh,
Trumbull, Virginia, Warren. Washing
ton and Randolph. These were the
first war vessels constructed in the
United States.
