Worked the Tigers.

Near Perak, in the Malay peninsula,
is 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 is an album
dance of tigers. There were not
enough men to tap" the trees, but the
Scotch proprietor hit on a brilliant
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 APP
proved herringbone fashion, after
which all that the coolies had to do
was to walk around once day and

Bird. Have F.vor,te Pla.t..


7 Like man, birds have their favorite
plants. 1t has been discovered that the
goldfinch Is passionately fond Of apple
blossom. This may be because Its IA
vorite building site is In the lichen
covered forks Of apple trees, but apart
from such attachment the bright little
finch frequently spends hours tearing
the petals into tiny fragments. Though
the nightingale never builds in tho
thorn boughs, it loves to sing on may
laden branches, often in the very midst
of the fragrant blossoms. It is some
what peculiar that most birds avoid
the COW parsnip, owing, no doubt, to the
unpleasant greenish smell emitted by
this umbelliferous plant. Small birds
very often build in less secure places,
but the parsnip, gigantic and strong as
1t is, is left severely alone.-London

The Kingnsher.

Many and curious are the legends Of
the kingfisher. One of these is to the
effect that the bird was originally a
plain gray in color, but upon being lei
loose from the ark flew toward the
setting sun and had it's back stained
blue by the sky and its lower plumage
scorched by the sun to gorgeous hues.
The dried body of the kingfsher was
once used as charm against thunder
bolts and moths, and it was hung up
so that it might point with it's bill to
the winds quarter.

a Glimpse Of Carlyle.

One day Carlyle suddenly stopped at
a street crossing and, STOPPING, picked
up something out Of the mud, even at
the risk of being knocked down and
run over by passing vehicles. With his
bare hands he gently rubbed the mud
from it. He then took it to the pave.

on the curbstone. That" said the old

waste anything-above all, bread, more
precious than gold. I am sure that the
little sparrows or hungry dog will
get nourishment from this bit of
bread.'

Like a Dog watch.

Mamma had not noticed the clock
striking during all of the afternoon
and, thinking perhaps it had stopped,
she asked little Rita to 60 into the hall
and see If it was running. After a
hasty survey Of the long pendulum
swinging back and forth, Rita ran back
and announced: "Why, no, mamma, it
isn't running. It's standing still and
wagging it's tail"-Harper's Weekly.
