PIIHoNUA FOREST LINE.
GIVING MEDICINE TO A SICK
TIGER

In this particular zoo is very beauti-
full tiger, said to be the largest one in
captivity. But if he would only move
about as if he felt at home, and not
be so dignified, we should be better
pleased with him; yet the poor creature
is excusable. because he has dyspepsia,
and his sufferings make him cross.
One day the keeper decided to adj
minister a dose of medicine, so with
the bottle and a whip he climbed to the
top of the cage. Was that tiger cross?
You would have thought so if you had
seen him throw back his great head
and snap at the whip. The keeper,
after engaging him, poured a little
medicine down the lash, which he grad
ually withdrew, until in its place there
was a tiny medicinal stream, at which
the tiger kept biting and swapping, too
much surprised, it seemed, to distin-
guish between whip and liquid When
he turned away his head the medicine
was poured over his paws. and when
he had licked them clean that days
treatment was completed.-St. Nicholas
