Tiger shooing is, | believe, generally
regarded as serious work, and not a
picnic to be lightly entered on; but
from the moment p came round to my
compound to say that four OF the
brutes had been located in the Yikma
jungle, some four miles from the set
Element, to the morning of the last
disastrous beat the gods appeared to
do their best to make fun of the whole
expedition, and to rob us of that feel
ing of dignity due to those engaged in
big-game shooting.
Perhaps | should not include P. in
this. P. was different. He spoke
knowingly of shikars, machans, and all
paraphernalia of big shoot; he unused
pensively in the heat of the day, when
he should have been asleep, over Bad
minton on Big-Game Shooting and
guidebooks with blood-curdiing pictures
that made me nervous. Between
whites in a desultory manner he ran
the camp mess, or sat in state receiv-

Making railroad rates is like playing
a game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers.
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the~pieces used. Every posi-
BILE move is studied for its effect on the
general result by skilled traffic mana
gers. A false movs in the making of
freight rates may mean the ruin of a
city, of a great manufacturing interest,
of an agricultural community. Rail
roads strive to build up all these SO
that each may have an equal chance In
the sharp competition of business. So
sensitive to this rivalry are the rail
roads that in order 70 build up business
along their lines they frequently allow
the shipper to practically dictate rates.
Rate making has been matter of de-
velopment; of mutual concessions for.
mutual benefit. That Is why the rail
roads Of the United States have volun-
tariIy made freight rates so much lower
in this country than they are on the
goyernment-owned and operated rail
ways OF Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transportation
fates In the world.

A story that comes from Ireland re-
lates to the custom among farmers
there of depositing money in the bank
in the joint names Of husband and
wife. SO that when one dies the surviv-
or can draw out the money without
any legal formalities.
TO a farmer who recently made ap-
plication for money deposited for HIM
self and his wife, the manager asked:
"Why. Pat, how can this be? 1t is not
much mere than a year since you
came with similar application on
the death of your wife"

They're building over yonr
Twas suddenly created there
Between the night and dawn.
They built 1t BIZ the gllnting light

And they built 1t on the desert
Where the desolations meet.
And mountain rocks and lesser rocks
Berib the rugged scene,
And some are hard aud golden rich
And some are hard and lean.
There's not enough of water there
To bicker down a rill.
But stronger drink. OF vicious red,
Flows ever up the hill.
The homes, of mud or canvas-llke
The dice of fortunes throw
Are scattered on the ups and downs
OF rush and fever row.
And fifty hundred men are there,
And twenty hundred mules,
And twenty dozen gambling halls,
And twenty hundred fools.

A difference of opinion seems to
have arisen over the effect of firing a
candle at a board. For long time
the ancient tradition has held its own
that the soft tallow hurled at the
mark by musket would put a hole
through an ordinary plank. Yet here
comes a grln-bearer who declares that
he has tried the experiment and finds
the material of the candle wildly scat
tered upon the target. Of course,
with present-day rifles and breech-
leaders it may not be possible to dis
charge candle effectively from a
military arm or from the latest style
Of sporting guns. But it would GER
tainly be pity to leave the question
unsolved.

by themselves a ribbon three yards

they reached the chrysalis stage, ac-
cording to he Indianapolis News, in
stead of weaving round cocoons on
the twigs prepared for them they pre-
ferred to travel up and down the

nine feet long and three inches wide.
Back and forth they went, spinning

A Story of Joe MnnIey.

Chief Justice Fuller of the United States supreme court was on a visit to Maine some years ago and while there was entertained by Joe Manley. MT. Manley was held in great reverence by his fellow citizens all over Maine and especially In Augusta, his home. He took, Mir. Fuller for a drive about the place, but was forced by pressing business engagement to leave his guest before the drive was finished When Mr. Manley had disappeared the driver turned to the judge, whom he did not know, and, drawing out a cigar, said; "I suppose you don't mind if l smoke. When We are driving Mr. Manley we never light up, because he's rather a distinguished citizen" Fuller repress- ed a laugh and told the driver to go ahead. which he did. Later the chief justice retailed the joke to Alr. Man " who at the first opportunity told the driver a few things, winding up, You miserable three ply idiot, that was the chief justice of the United States"

Bears That Fish For Salmon.

Alaska's brown bears near the Boring sea live largely on salmon and are eX- traordinary fishers. Before beginning to fish they always place themselves on the downward side of the river, 'aThey seem to smell the salmon by some extrgordinary means" says a hunter, "and then begin flashing in and out of the river at some shallow place, rarely failing to catch a fish. They bring 1t out on the bank and devour it, if possible selecting some thick patches of bushes and grass in which to make their meal, which does not take them long"

The precious stone workers of Ger
 many are among the most interesting persons I have ever seen when engaged in cutting their jewels" said a well known traveller. "The principal indus try Is at Freiburg, on the edge of the Black forest, in which the precious stones are found. The principal jew els are amethyst, Iapis lazuli and mala- chitc. The process of cutting them is the interesting part of the work. All
 of them are cut under water. The jewel cutters lie flat upon their stom. achs while at work. with their hands under water. holding the stone which is being prepared, and the motion Of the wheel does the cutting. The action of the water makes the process more rapid and at the same time leaves a better surface than if cut in the air"
