Bengal Tigers.

The man-eater is usually an older
tiger. whose strength is failing and
whose teeth have partly lost their
sharpness. Such a beast finds it easier
to Turk in the vicinity of settlements
and to pick up an occasional man.
woman or child than to run down wild
cattle.
The largest. fiercest and most bright
ly colored tigers are found in the
province of Bengal, near the mouths
of the Ganges river, not far from Cal
cutta. A full-grown Bengal tiger
sometimes measures ten feet from nose
to tip of tail. Such monster makes
no more account of springing upon
man than a cat does of seizing a
mouse He surpasses the lion In
strength and ferocity and has no rival
among beasts of prey except the griz-
ely bear and the recently discovered
giant bear Of Alaska.-St.. Nicholas.

Dog DAYS are Here.

The dog days are here and will last
six weeks. This season is regarded by
many persons as more unhealthy than
that which Immediately precedes or
succeeds it, and as being time when
mankind are more liable to attacks from
disease through exposure or impru-
dence in their general habits than in
any other. If there is no foundation
in fact for the belief it is superstition
of long standing. There are even those
now who would not for a single mo-
ment be regarded as at all superstitious
who look upon the dog days as exer-
cising bad influences upon everything.
The heat while the dog days last is
usually more sultry and oppressive
than any other in the summer. Then,
too, meats and vegetables are supposed
to be in more danger of spelling from
the effects of the weather than at any
other time. Be this as it may, we will
enter upon the dog days, and it would
be well for us to be careful in our diet
and manner of living.

Result of CareIeSSness

Eighty thousand letters were
placed in the post office of the United
States last year without being address,
ed. Fifteen thousand letters were
placed in the post office containing
money, ranging in sums from a dime
to twenty dollar bills, without sign
of address. One hundred and fifty-six
thousand persons last year forgot to
place stamps on their envelopes. 1t
would seem almost impossible that
persons should be so careless especially
when mailing letters containing mon
ey, and yet this is the record of the
Dead Letter office last year Most of
these letters found their owners event
ually, but many of them did not. The
U. S. postal service is almost perfect in
its handling of the mails but it cannot
always provide against the carelessness
of the individual. When you mail a
letter always give it a final glance be-
fore dropping it in the box. In this
way you may often avoid the result of
your own carelessness.-EX

minister's SwindIed by a Woman.

A clever swindling game was sue
cessfully prepetrated in Bradford dur
ing the past few days by an unknown
woman, who called on the ministers
and other charitable inclined people
and solicited money from them by tell
ing a smooth hardluck story. TO each
she gave q different name, but her
story, in the main, was the same. She
claimed to be a stranger in the city and
named various town as her former
place of residence. She said that she
had FIVE small children and husband;
that their home had been destroyed by
fire and that she had moved to that city
greatly in need of furniture. She asked
for 81 with which to buy stove and
promised that she would return the
money as soon as her husband drew
his first months wages.
