THE STANDARD YARD.
That In Use In Great Britain and the
United States.

United States.
The yard is the British and American
standard of length. Down to 1924 the
original standard Of Britain, from
which ours was copied, was a rod,
which had been deposited in the court
of exchequer, London, in the time Of
Queen Elizabeth. In those days all
measures intended for general use
were taken to the court of excheQuer
to be examined by the proper officer.
That official took the proposed meas
ure and placed 1t parallel with the
standard and If found correct placed
certain marks of Identification upon It..
By an act of parliament in 1924 the
old EliZabethan standard was super
seeded by another, which had been con-
structed under the directions of the
Royal society sixty-four years preVi-
Gus. This act provided that the
straight line of distance between the
centers of two points in the gold studs
In the brass rod now in the custody or
the clerk of the house of commons
shall be the genuine standard of the
ward measure in Great Britain" The
act further provided that the measure
ments of the rod must be made when
the temperature of the brass was at 62
degrees f.
The standard was destroyed by fire
in 1884. and the commission appointed
to replace it made the yard measure
now in use. The new standard was de-

A Tigers Choice

Copyright. 1896 BY r. G. Parcells.l
Four Of the officers OF the native
Eixth infantry, stationed in the province
Of bengal, had gone to the jungles on a
tiger hunt The accident that befell
three OF them on the second day was
a curious one. The four were making
their way up the dry bed OF nullah,
or rayine, when a tree growing on a
high bank suddenly caved into the ra-
vine catching and breaking bones for
three Of them The officers were at
tended by nifty servants and beaters,
and litters were soon constructed and
they we're borne back to camp.
On the third day after the accident
word was brought in that large tiger
had visited village four miles away
the night previously and carried away
IA woman The fourth officer 81 the
party, who was d lieutenant. had ID
course, given his services to his com
rades, but when news of tie tiger
came they insisted that he make al
attempt 70 Kill the boast 1t was BEL
heyed that the feline would pay the
village a second visit, and the ofYicer
would have to pass the night iii a hut
to be ready for him. He protested. but
was overruled, aud an hour before dark
set Off with his guns and guides. The
injured officers by 10 o'clock were all
asleep, and IN hour later the attendant
also elumhsred.
The major had slept for thee hours
when his thirst awole him. His ham
mock vas swung very close to the
ground and his head and shoulders so
elevated that he could see all around
him he eaw that the servant was
asleep and hesitated to call to him for
fear Of awakening bis brother oaIcers.
He hsd been awake about ten minutes
when 4 great tiger suddenly appeared
close beside the sleeping native. The
beast rust have made its way over tile
clear and open ground from the jungle,

horses had not scented him. Tie was
a male tiger III his prime. and that lie
had come for victim could net be
doubted Tie must have been surprised
that no better watch was kept. HAD
the seryant been awskc he would have
instantly been seized ard carried of,
but his being asleep puzzled the tiger.
The beast shifted and snuEed for mo.
ment and then turned to the ham
moeks He visited the captains before
be came TO the major. He purred like
cat as he stood with his nose within
six inches of their faces. and IT is a
thing hard to believe. but nevertheless
true. that his purring awoke each In
turn. Neither Of the men moved SO
much as an eyelash while under the
