Tiger and Dog Chums.
From the New York Sun.

from the New 1Ork sun.
There is no use waiting for the millin-
MUM 1t is here. The Bengal tiger, six
months old, and the mongrel pup, eight
months old, have lain down and got up to-
gether in one cage in perfect brotherly love
since the birth of the tiger in Cincinnati.
The cub and the pup are now housed in
a narrow packing case in Hexamer's livery
stable, Hoboken, ready for shipment to
Hagenbeck's show in Europe. The Hippo
drome people heard of the pair and are ne
gotiating with Howard Fielding, Hagen
beck's agent, for their purchase.
Usually" said Frank Krissel, Mr.. Fled
ing's representative. when experiments
like that are tried the tiger eats up the
dog as soon as the tigers teeth are good
enough. But in this case they seemed to
take to each other from the first. and now
nothing can sever them. If you touch the
dog the tiger will make slap at you. But
If you touch the tiger the dog thinks it's
good joke.
IF the tiger gets obstreperous the pup
sits down on the tigers head. Then the
tiger shuts up at once. The only time the
dog ever respects his friend is when the
tiger is eating his portion of raw meat.
Then the dog keeps out of the way

Preparing the Lawn.
From Outing.


The lawn Is one of the most important fea-
lures in all landscape and home ornamental
ton Success depends more upon the spring
treatment than that given at any other
time; with the first advent of spring wealth
the lawn changes color. new grass roots
are formed and underground branches of
the grasses start to fill In any vacant
spaces. and If properly encouraged at this
time will so occupy the ground that few or
no weeds can grow. AS early in the spring
as possible-even before the snow Is off and
the ground is settled-sow fine lawn grass
seed in liberal quantities and cover with
thin coat of fine compost With the first
rain the seed will settle down into the
ground and soon start into growth. If
perennial weeds of any kind-like the dan
delion, chickweed. speedwell, etc-have be-
come established among the brass plants,
now is the time to take them out while the
soil is soft and the plants are loosely root
ed. If the land is soft and would be cut up
by ones feet, planks or boards should be
used to work upon. After the weeds are
out sow grass seed and compost or fertil-
iZer. and when the earth is little settled
use heavy roller.

THE ENGLISH BARNARD.
Movement to Stop Engagement of Wo-
men in Liquor Concerns.

From the London Telegraph.
For some time the other day the Evan
gelical Free Churches delegates at their
meeting in Manchester discussed with ami
nation the position and prospects In life
of the barmaid. The subject was intro
duced by DR.. Rendel Harris, Quaker rep
resentative, who moved that any further
engagement of women as barmaids in IL
censed houses be made Illegal" There
were. he said. some occupations for which
women in an enlightened community were
untitled. That of the barmaid was one of
them. These victims of the liquor traffic
had to work long hours, and In an atmos-
phere vitiated morally and spiritually. Let

They would find among the barmaids some
of the best representatives of the Chris
tianty of the future.
Mr. Robert Whyte OF London declared
that girls of between fourteen and fifteen
years of age were taken into this employ
ment because they were attractive. Their
personal appearance had a great deal to do
with their being engaged. When they
erached the age of thirty-five they were
regarded as too old for the position. Their
attractions had weakened, and there was
no more work for them as barmaids. What
became of them after they left the trade?
Did they become loving wives and mothers?
What would the offspring. the homes be
which were provided by wives who had
been accustomed to the loose talk and tho
immoral atmosphere that barmaids must
breathe from morning to night? He thought
that instead of barmaids being dismissed
at thirty-fve they might possibly be en-
gagged at that age. Then much danger to
men and women might be avoided. for 1t
was not only the women, but also the men.

STOPS LOSS OF PENNIES.
Post Office Department Saves Millions
by New Stamp Rule.
From the Chicago Tribune.

FROM the CDlcago tribune.
Uncle Sam is busy rounding up the odd
pennies. His post office representatives
have just discovered a leak through which,
i'll the course of the last fifty years, great
many hundred thousand dollars have run
away. The loss might figure up into the
millions since the invention of stamped en-
velopes by the fractional profits which the
stamp clerks in $1,000 post offices have re-
tanned for theiI own use.
Third Assistant Postmaster General Nal
den, who invented the stamp book. stirred
the department from Maine to California
by his recent order instructing stamp clerks
to hereafter account for the fractional
amounts received when stamped envelopes
and wrappers are sold in uneven quantities.
Before the order came out the clerk &C :
counted only fo- the face value of the
stamped paper In his possession and the
odd pennies which he picked up from I'M
even sales he retained for his own use.
When you buy single l cent wrapper or
a single cent stamped envelope the clerk
charges you or cents, the case may
be. The wrapper costs him possibly 17-1OO
Of a cent and the envelope about 12-1OO of
O cent, so that his profit in the first case is
03-10O of cent and In second $500 of a
cent OF course the profits are not proper
tionate in larger sales, and all the clerk
gains on each sale is the difference between
the fractional amount.
Some one with turn for calculations fig
ureS that In Chicago alone the profit from
fractional sales is about 5000 month, and
that on this basis the government ought to
get about $4,000 q year additional income
from the whole country, or enough money
to pay the salary of the President.
While the OF der bears heavily on the regu-
lar stamp clerks who lose their time-honor-
ed perquisiteS they have to submit because
the stamped paper Is not theirs and be-
longs to the government from the time 1t is
received until the time 1t Is sold. But the

Rantle Gingell Fired Pistol In the

Out of work on account of the strike of

member, and with the intent to commit
suicide, according to his own statement to
the police, Rantle GingeIl, thirty-two years

and Gingell was arrested
Gingell was on the station at the Dis

volver out OF his pocket, and aiming at a
post across the street, fired. The shot
grazed the face of one of the women. burn
ing 1t with the powder. The group of
women were all thoroughly frightened and
the police were notified of the occurrence
Sergt. Harry and officer Bloom of the
seventh precinct station started at once for
the scene of the shooting. They stopped

refused to give her name or say ANYTHING
about II. The officers found Gingell in the
station at the District line and arrested
him When he was captured he remarked:
It's good thing you got me when YOU
did. as you couldn't have got me a few
minutes later"
This remark started the suicide theory of
the police. and this was further confirmed
by the finding of the following note in the
mans pocket:

possible. Shooting, you know. To whom ii
may concern. Friends: This shooting took

GO AFIELD.
A Mortal Offense to Sit in the House
and Stagnate.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Buried in the dry details of the British
budget read in the house of commons the
other day was the encouraging comment
of the chancellor of the exchequer that the
excise taxes had fallen off because Britons
are giving greater attention to outings and
are forsaking the seductive inns. Here is
a forcible argument for the pursuit Of in
nocent sport afield which the temperance
reformers will duly ponder and inwardly
digest. We cannot all enter into the ex-
citing pastime of wolf chasing, like Pres
ident Roosevelt, who requires something
out of the common to stir his blood, but
we can pursue something worth while In
the open-the wild flower or the elusive
fish-or take It out In plain, everyday aim
less walking. regarded by many sedate, old
fashioned folk the most fascinating of
all out-of-door sport.
If one can walk it is a mortal offense to
stagnate and garner rheumatism when ma
ture invites one abroad so cordially. Some
thing is to be said for the trolley car the
automobile, the bicycle, but all of the ac-
credited essayists find inspiration in none
of these mechanical contrivances. The
horse has not quite lost his place. A
breezy gallop is not to be despised, but it
is out of the question for the mass of city
jewellers. We live In the day of mechanical
locomotion, and If we are to postpone the
legless age we must walk.
Whether one should saunter afield alone
or with companion is debatable question
among the writer's. 1t will be remembered
that Oliver Wendell Holmes makes de-
Iightful allusion to the companion who
agreed to travel with him ION the long
path The delicate question o. courtship
aside one can secure the highest pleasure
by taking a walking trip alone, If the ad-
vice of the best writer on the theme is to
be accepted. Hazlitt says he has no OBJ

to be seen at a famous metropolitan store
some marvellous mechanical devices in snuff
boxes. Aside from high priced novelties.
all varieties of snuff containers are being
