TIGERS Tap Rubber Trees.

Near Perak in the Malay peninsula
is a prosperous rubber factory run by
a long headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made it is necessary to puncture
the bark of the trees. Laborers are
scarce in that district, but there are
an abundance of tigers. There were
not enough men to tap" the trees, but
the Scotch proprietor hit on bril-
liant idea. He knew that tigers are
fond of valerian, so he gave orders
that all the trees should be rubbed
with this stuff The tigers came up
and caressingly scratched the bark in
the most approved herringbone fash
ion, after which all that the coolies
had to do was to walk around once a
day and collect the rubber.

Chamois Skin of Commerce.

Charles G. Druedling, of Philadel-
phia, has written an article for the
American Journal of Pharmacy on the
subject of chamois skins. What is
known in the market as chamois skins,
he says, is really an obtained sheep
or lamb skin lining. The supply OF
skins from the chamois animal is very
limited-enough could not be obtained
in a year to supply the United States
for more than a single day. He made
special inquiry on recent visit TO
Switzerland about the annual crop OF
the chamois skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be
fair average yearly crop This skin is
heavier than the skin of the sheep or
lamb also much coarser. For strength
and durability the chamois skin is pre-
ferable but for ordinary use and APP
pearance the obtained sheep skin
lining would, in most instances, be
preferred.

La Roche had returned home only
the day before, for brief visit, and to
assure himself that all was well with
his household, consisting now of his
sister, Lazalie, and Rose de Cazeneau.
Even at this, the last hour of his
stay, some of the items of news he
rad brought from the city were being
discussed and enlarged upon.
"A curious change of affairs" re-
marked Madame Riefet, that Gen.
Jackson should now be trusting so
much to the Baratarians. who only
last September were denounced by
him, as well as by every one else"
The general laughed.

CHAPTER xxvlI-Continued.

He had missed the picture from its
place over his hearth at Barataria
but, knowing there were others like it.
he had no thought that he was looking
upon what had been his own.
Presently, with sign indicating re-
lief, Jackson handed the last paper
to Claiborne, and leaning forward,
with his elbows upon the arms of his
chair, said, his voice showing more of
contempt than anger, Most edifying
assortment of reading, to be sure,
Capt. LATTE. Are these all-these
four papers, two of them addressed to
you, Capt. Percy's instructions to his
subordinates, and the proclamation
to the people of this state?"
These are all, general; and they
contain all the information within my
power to give you now" LATTE re-
Piled
Claiborne began to refold the pa
pers, while the general turned to La
ftte.
1T is fine offer you have received
all you can possibly desire
II wish-will take, nothing that
England can ever have to offer me"
Lafitte added, with sudden ferceness.
Il hate the nation, and its ways!
Nothing could induce me to accept,
row or ever, any terms from the Eng
lish."
The first unguarded evidence of any
thing like cordial liking now manifest
ed itself in Jackson's face. Yet there
was nothing of this in his voice as he
said, May | ask, then, Capt. Lafitte,
il possibly some motive of personal re-
venge brought you here tonight with
Ii renewal of your offer?"
Lafitte's face. flushed through it's
swartness; then it paled, and grew
stern.

diers-most of all, artillerymen; that
you also needed arms-cannon and
muskets. | came to offer all | have

use, and that of Louisiana. | ask no

you will If, not, then I will try to take
care of that, and they are yours with
out pay. The one thing | demand is
what | have stated already-a full par
don for my men and myself-a pardon
for all offenses or alleged offenses
against the laws of this state or of the
United States"
Assuming" said Claiborne, that
everything is as you say, and that
your proposition is accepted, what Sc
curity have /, as governor of this
state, and responsible, not only to its
people, but to the President, that you
will fulfil your agreements"
Jackson, with an impatient glance at
Claiborne, started to speak; but he
checked himself as LATTE answered
coldly, "My personal manhood and
honor. Ask any merchant of New
Orleans with whom | have had deal
ings if ever l failed to fulfil my con-
tracts. Ask any bank in New Orleans
if my paper has ever been dishonored.
No man, woman or child white or
tlack, who knows my name, but will
tell you that l always keep my prom
ises."
well answered." And Jackson,
every vestige Of reserve now swept
away, arose from his chair, and COM
ing around the table, extended both
hands, which LATTE grasped cordially.
Claiborne's manner underwent a
marked change, although it was still
somewhat formal as he said Capt
I.aftte, | cannot do otherwise than be-
leve you to be sincere, and to admire
the motives which have led you to
take this most honorable course.
I'm pleased to be able to recognize in
