AFTER BIG GAME.
Shooting a EOung Tigress in Pagoda
 in India.

Shooting a kOung Tigress in Pagoda
 in India.
 Colonel E. Lawford sends to the Rangoon Gazette some additional par tfcuIars of the shooting of the tigress on the Shwe Dagon Pagoda, recently reported; He was told Of the presence of the tagress about s o'clock on Mon day moEning, March ?. and went with Captaini Jennings, R. A., the possessor of the Pnly sporting rifle to b found in the Heighborhood f the pagda.
 ''On arrival at the pagod platform we fouRd the whole place blocked by large and xcited crowds of Bur- mese ana natives of India, all shouting at the Top of their voices. We were then told for the first time that the ti- gress was up the pagda itself and not on the pltform, which we had up till then been Id to believe. The tigress could just be seen with the naked eye after heS position had been carefully pinted out. She was lying down on ledge which runs around the pagoda about 100 feet up. I saw at once that it wouldl have been useless to try and shoot the tigress from the platform. The tops of her back, one hind paw, and her btail only were visible, and it would h4ve taken a very good shot to have hitt her at all. If she had been fired at then and been either missed or missed dr wounded. we should proba- bly havethad lively time of it on the pagoda platform, Captain Jennings l (which I, did not know at the tine). His weapon was Mauser repeating pis- tol, with butt attachment. I then decided to post Captain, with his ex- press rifle, up a tazaung, from which he could get a fair view of the tigress; and I sent Ctptain Beville for ten men with rifles from the Kings Liver pool regiment" About fourteen men turned up, and by Colonel Lawford's order, fired a volley to make the ti- gress show herself The bullets struck the edge of the ledge, and the tigress, on rising was at once shot through the chest and shoulder by Captain Jennings with right and left. As she was struggling and flashing her tail, and as Colonel Lawford thought she might come tuhbling down, badly wounded, on the pagoda platform, an- other vollay was fired, and Captain tigress then remained absolutely mo- tionless. Captain Jennings pluclzily mounted the bamboo lader, and on get ting up to her ledge, as he heard the tigress still grooming, he put another bullet through her heart. The body was then brought down. The tigress was young one, in splendid condition, and measured eight feet exactly. On examining the body fur express bull lets were found in it-one in the chest, one in the shoulder, which penetrated the lungs one just behind the shouI- der, and the fourth through the heart One Metford bullet was also found

ROSEMARY.

In the south of Europe the rosemary has long had magic properties ascribed to it. The Spanish ladies used to wear it as an antidote against the evil eye, and the Portuguese called it the elfin plant and dedicated it to the fairies. The idea of the antidote may have been due to 8 confusion of the name with that of the Virgin; but, as a matter of fact, and rosmarinus is frequently men, tioned by old Latin writers, including Horace and Ovid. The name came from the fondness of the plant for the sea- shore, where it often gets sprinkled with the ''ros," or dew of the sea-that is to say, sea spray. Another cause of confusion perhaps was that the leaves of the plant somewhat resemble those of juniper. which in medieval times was held sacred to the Virgin Mary All the Year Round.

INSTINCT IS THE TEACHER.

 Are Educated.

How the Young of the Feathered Tribe
 Are Educated.
 There is . school of the woods. just as much as there is a church of the woods or a society of United Charities of the woods. and no more There is nothing in the dealing of animals with their young that in the remotest way suggests human instruction and disci- pline. The young of all the wild creat- tres do instinctively what their parents do and did. They do not have to be taught; they are taught from the jump, says a writer in the Atlantic Monthly. The bird sings at the proper age and builds it's nest and takes it's appropriate food without any hint at all from it's parents. The young ducks take to the water when matched by duck and dive and stalk insects and wash themselves just as their mothers did. Young chickens and young turkeys understand the various calls and signals of their mother the first time they hear or see them. At the first alarm note they squat; at call to food they come on the first day as on the tenth. The habit Qf@cleanliness of the nestlings are estab- lished from the first hour of their lives. When 2 bird comes to build its first nest and to rear its first brood, it knows how to proceed as well as it does years later or as it's parents did before it. The fox is afraid of a trap before he has had any experience with it, and the hare thumps upon the ground at sight of anything strange and unusual, whether it's mates be within hearing or not No bird teaches it's young to fly. They fly instinctively when their wings are strong enough.
