ODD BITS ABOUT TIGERS.
Easy and Independent Life Of the
Big Cats Near the City of
Annoy, China.

Annoy Is an island city on the China
coast, near Formosa. There are noun
tains west of Annoy and according to
correspondent there are tigers In them.
These tigers lead an easy and indepen.
dent life in the caves and dens which
abound. They come out of these every
evening just as the shadows creep over
the land and the blue mists rise from the
lower ground and hide the hills. Then
the inhabitants get within their houses
and keep the doors between them and
these savage brutes. Many poor wom-
an, coming with water from the well,
or a farmer delayed too long in the
fields, has fallen victim to them. The
nights are spent by tigers In foraging
and the foxes and Wildcats that roam
the hills and the dogs in the villages be-
come their prey.
There is nothing, however, that gives
the tiger such supreme delight as the
capture of a good-sized pig. They are
truly Chinese In their tastes in this re-
spect. One Of these animals will go at
g steady trot with dead pig thrown
over its back up the sides of steep hills,
jumping over huge powders and TAX
ing cross cuts over the most inaccessi-
BILE ground. The physical strength OF
0 tiger is something enormous, and its
capacity for devourlng large quantities
of food is scarcely less amazing"

REASON FOR WANTING RAIN
Singular Yet Sufficient Cause for
Longing Of Georgia
Mountaineer.

According to the Brooklyn Eagle Rev.
Mr.. Livingston, of Georgia, told this
story:
"A friend of mine down in one Of the
small towns of Georgia has many
proteges among the people in the noun
tain country near. Several years ago
there was long dry spell in Georgia.
At about the beginning Of 1t the wife
of one of the mountaineers died. The
disconsolate husband followed her to
the grave and was the last to leave the
burying ground. His footprints re-

said, I wouldn't ask nothin' Of nobody.

MOUNTAIN LION AND ELK.
In q Duel to the Death the Huge Cat
Triumphs Over the King
of the Forest.

The lion quickly moved to the side
OF the fleeing quarry, and taking him
on the shoulder and breast with his
forepawG, embedded his terrible teeth
in the throat of the elk, relates Forest
and Stream. The elk gave a stifed CRY
of pain and rage as he attempted to
trample the enemy down. They were
now coming uncomfortably close. The
elk had swayed in his course and stag
geped from the path. With one Nigh
ty effort he tried to dislodge the lion
by swinging his head up and down and
striking with his fore feet, but his fate
was sealed. As we'll might q rabbit
expect to escape the eagle when once
In its talons as this monster elk to de-
feat his terrible foe.
The great beast staggered laterally
and fell, his shoulders bearing down
the lions launches and hind legs.
causing 1t to relax its death grip to
pull itself from under the elk, which
made a rallying effort and regained his
feet. Once more the lion succeeded In
fastening his teeth in the flesh Of the
elk, this time on the top Of the neck,
and the elk made last feeble lurch
forward and fell within ten feet OF me.
The elk seemed to fall forward more
from pain than from weight OF the foei
whereupon the lion doubled itself up,
resting both fore and hind feet on the
elk's neck on either side of the lions
mouth, then the hind feet were pressed
against the neck, embedding the claws
deep into the elk's flesh. and. with a
mighty effort the great cat not only
broke the neck, but literally cut 1t half
in two. The large, white sinew OF the
neck was severed by the lions teeth
and pulled loose from the head.
The elk then rolled over on Its side
and the lion began to lap the blood as
it spurted from the great gap at the
top of the throat.

BELGIUM THE LAND OF BEER
Nearly Fifty Gallons a Head Con-
sumed in That Country in
the Year 1908.

The London board Of trade has is
sued a series of interesting statistics
on the thirst of the world.
From them it appears that the Unit
ed Kingdom and Germany, who were
once the largest beer drinkers of Eu-
rope, have been badly beaten by the
little Belgian nation.
Belgium in 1903 is credited with an
allowance Of AIT gallons Of bea a
head, the United Kingdom with 1877
gallons and Germany, in spite Of its
universities, with only 25.6 gallons.
AS a matter OF fact the United King
dom is not so thirsty as 1t used to be.
In 1903 it drank 1O,647,O00 gallons of
beer less than in 1902, 2,192O00 fewer
gallons of spirits and 1,409,O0O fewer
gallons Of wine.
Germany brews more beer than any
one else-1 ,576, $4,000 gallons; the
United Kingdom comes second, with
1,279, 376,OOO gallons, and the United
States is third, with 1,206,455, 900 gal
Ions.
Russia produces more spirits than
any other country and Denmark drinks
most-about three gallons year a
head. The United Kingdom is sixth
in the protection OF spirits and eighth
in the consumption Of them.
AS wine-drinking country the Unit
ed Kingdom is last in list Of 10 Euro
pean countries, and never since the
lists have been kept has the consump-
ton of wine reached half a gallon a
head.

FOLLOWED THE FASHIONS.
Tiny Miss Kept Herself Informed on
What Was in Style
and Out.

The little daughter Of fashionable
mother is accustomed to hear great
deal about the things that have come
in" or gone out" of style, relates the
New York Times. After visit to Sun
day school she attempted to repeat to
her younger brother some of the mir
acles performed by our Lord, He was
a most attentive listener, and when she
had finished said:
do you believe that, sister,"
why, of course l believe 1t, Jacky.
1t is true"
81 didn't know things could really
happen like that"
"Oh. they don't now" she replied in
A superior tone. "All that sort of thing
was years ago and has gone entirely out
of style"
Upon one occasion she had visited
several stores with her mother during
The autumn millinery openings. AS
hey were returning home they passed
a market, with its wares displayed in
the window.
"Oh, mammal" she cried, Look,
guick! Turkeys are coming in style
again. The windows are full of them. "

Reindeer Express.

The capacity of the rheindeer for team
work is remarkable. His hoofs are very
broad and do not penetrate the snow
crusts. He will swiftly draw a sled car
rying 600 pounds, and with this load can
cover 80, 80 and even 80 miles day.
The reindeer teams now carry the mails
from Kotzebue to Point Barrow, dis
lance of $50 miles-the most northern
ly post route in the world. No food is
carried for the deer. At the end OF the
tourney, or at any stopping places, he is
turned loose and at once breaks through
the snow to the white moss, which serves
as food. 1t costs nothing to feed him.
AS the white settlements increase in the
mineral bearing parts of Alaska, and in
many places remote from railway and
steamboat transportation, the reindeer
express will be one Of the most imper-
Lant factors In territorial life,-eouth-
erp Workman,

PANAMA CANAL PROBLEM.
Magnitude Of the Work Of Digging
Presents Remote Promise
Of Completion.

When completed the cut will be
three-ffths Of mile wide at the top,
narrowing to width Of $50 feet at
the bottom, and the depth from the
sky line to the water level will be
400 feet. DR.. Stephens, states the Chi
cago Tribune, estimates the quantity
of earth and rock still to be removed
at 446, 100000 cubic yards and cal
culates that with 10000 men at work
and crediting our improved methods
with 40 per cent. greater results than
the French achieved during 1881
their most successful year-we shall
finish the canal in exactly 81 years.
His figures in this connection, how.
ever. are, of course, pessimistic,
though he stoutly maintains that they
are exceedingly conservative. 1t Is
evident that he does not take into &C.
count the superior appliances and the
greater precision and dispatch which
Chief Engineer Wallace will bring to
bear upon the problem,

Fntnre of Manchuria.

Writing of the probable Developments
in Manchuria when the present war in
the east shall have closed, critic says:
First Of all, Manchuria, with its vast
capacity, is but sparsely peopled. There
fore, the immigration Of Chinese into
Manchuria, too long discouraged by Pc
king, will be utilized to create mighty
barrier against future aggression from
the Amur, in the shape of multitudes Of
stalwart yellow men. Had this been
done long ago, Russia, in place Of des-
erts. empty steppes and great, lonely riv-
ers, would have been met by teeming
population, which would have made 1t
impossible for It to push southwark to
Port Arthur"

STRIKE IN THE HENNERY.
Arbitration Committee Worsted in
Argument on Merits Of
the Case

Once upon q time livery recently q
hen went upon a strike and refused to
lay. other hens followed her example,
and the scarcity of hen fruit which
resulted caused eggs to retail for some
thing like so cents per dozen, says the
Boston Post In other words, strictly
fresh eggs laid by scab hens were
worth about FIVE cents each In the
shell. Even cold storage eggs which
were deadly explosive and had to be
handled with care brought 30 cents.
The people got together and remon.
strated with the hens but It did nc
good. Finally an arbitration commit
tee waited on the hens and tried to
persuade them to go back to work.
The arbitration committee pointed out
that only the rich could afford to eat
eggs, but the hens refused to return
to work. The arbitration committed
then told the hens that II they per-
sisted in the strike they would bring
race suicide on themselves
Then a wise old hen arose and spoke
as follows:
"In the spring when us hens wish
to sit the people give as porcelain
doorknobs to sit on. II the porcelain
doorknobs are as good as eggs to sit
on, they ought to be as good to eat
as eggs. Tell the people to eat porce-
lain doorknobs."
The arbitration committee could not
answer this argument, and departed
In tears.
