STONlNG A TIGER.
The Punishment of Man Eater That
Killed a Tibetan.

Killed a IIbetan.
Fifty years ago tigers were very COM
mon even in the high hills of western
Tibet, writes G. A. Sherring IN his &C
count Of that country, At the present
time, however, owing to the increase
of population and the general spread of
cultivation, they have become rare,
and the appearance Of a man eater
who carried off a poor old woman on
the slope of Chipla created consterna-
ton
On the following day there were
gathered together hundred grim men,
armed only with axes and stones, for
they had not gun among them.
Fortune favored the brave, for the
tiger was found asleep under a rock,
At once each man dropped silently into
the cover of the brushwood and piled
q heap of stones near to his hand,
while one of the most trusted OF the
party was commissioned to stalk to
the top of the rock and drop a huge
stone on the sleeping brute.
So we'll was the work done that the
stone fell true on the tigers back, and
Immediately, with roar, the wounded
beast sprang up and, seeing his enc
mics, who leaped from their cover,
charged the line.
But a hundred men, desperate as to
consequences, throwing stones with
might and main, are not to be awed or
turned from their purpose lightly. The
stones broke the tigers teeth and went
into his mouth, and his body soon be
came a mass of wounds.
Turning he tried to escape and took
his pursuers up hill for mile, but
wherever he paused and whatever he
did he could not escape the pitiless
rain of missiles. The blow on his back,
first given, effectively checked his
speed, and finally, worn out, he came
to bay under a great cliff
The rest was easy. He was immedi-
ately hemmed in, and the stones were
showered on him thicker than ever and
hurled with redoubled energy. AS he
sank down the villagers rushed In and
dispatched him with their axes. -

ANIMAL EPICUREs.
The Grab Eating Raccoon and Pecul-
lar Crustacean Taste.

Inc CraO EaIIn9 ndCCOOu au0 ESSui-
lar Crustacean Taste.
What made the crab eating raccoon
first take to his queer diet? The
question is suggested by specimen OF
this strange animal which has arrived
at the menagerie and will be happy to
oblige any generous visitor with an
illustration of the quickest way to kill,
unshell and swallow crustacean with
out artificial assistance OF any kind.
Doubtless the popularity originated In
the shore frequenting habits of the
species, and, being a delicate feeder,
the succulence Of the crab, once crack
ed. was an obvious inducement to re-
new his acquaintance on every posi-
BILE occasion. Originally probably a
fruit eater, the raccoon Is inquiSitive
and dainty, both strong incentives to
experiments in diet. When an indi-
vidual sees a small object he does not
understand, his actions fall under
three headings He first puts the
article to close scrutiny, both with his
eyes and that superciliOus upturned
nose of his: then he takes 1t away and
washes tia very characteristic action
Of this water loving animal-and final
ly puts it to the grand test of eatable-
ness or otherwise. If it appears I'M
palatab he gives it to his wife. In
this way 1t is easy to imagine how the
creek loving coon, wearying of too
much fruit, made his first crab supper
and, though he has never been able to
add a squeeze of lemon or brown
bread and butter to the repast, has be-
come a confirmed lover of crustacea
ever since. All creatures make expert
ments of the sort and occasionally car
ry them on until they become fixed
habit, and their whole structure is
modified in accordance. Nature, for
instance, never intended the osprey TO
live on fish. 1t was the temptation of
an old world trout in difficulties in
the shadows that first led the great
hawk astray. Some small Brazilian
monkeys, again, live almost exclusive
ly on birds eggs, an Australian parrot
has given up a proper vegetarian diet
for an exclusive regimen of mutton,
and many other instances of the same
unOrthodox appetites might be cited.

WANDERING WORKERS.
Many Skilled Mechanics Like to Travel
Over the Globe.


In New York may be found skilled
mechanics who have been wandering
over the globe for half lifetime.
There are few trades in which skill
ed man with the mastery of several
tongues cannot earn living In almost
any considerable city of the world.
Most of the mechanics who move
thus freely about the world are CONT
mental Europeans. Woodcarvers, stone
cutters, electrical workers of various
kinds and garment cutters are among
the mechanics that move about most
freely.
The great temptation to such wan
derer is the trip around the world. The
thing is not really difficult. He can
cross this continent profitably in few
months, with a stop at Chicago and
perhaps another between Chicago and
San Francisco. 4 stop Of few weeks
or months at San Francisco will put
him in funds for the voyage to Aus
tralia.
There are four or five Australian
cities in which skilled man is sure of
profitable employment. After Austria
liza there are the great Anglo-Indian
cities.
The journey to Europe can be made
with a stop at Cairo if one chooses to
make a little detour, and then Paris
awaits one only a few hours beyond
the end Of the Mediterranean. Here
are cheap living and good wages. In
a few months one is more than equip
ped for the voyage to New York.
One has only to keep sober and know
how to save money in order to make
such a journey around the world with
entire success. 1t does not mean un-
comfortable living. In fact the jour
neyman must be well dressed and
must present a good appearance to get
on. At the height of the season hardly
any city has enough skilled garment
cutters, for example, and the wander
erS are always welcome when they
reach a new toWn.-Washingt Post

MADE BY FOOD
THAT YOU EAT
Diet Will Make One Strong
on Wall Street, or Afraid
in the Dark.

y W. w AAsNo y ~ ~
That's what the food sharps|
of the agricultural depart
ment said when they read the
conclusions of Professor Ed
ward Fisher of Yale; that the
vegetarian is the strongest
type physically. According
to a table of receipts outlined
today, food not only decides
a mans muscular character,
but his mental caliber and
particular place in business
as we'll. Here are some of
them.
To make money in the stock
market--eat meat fresh from
the slaughter house, just as
the eagle, the shrewdest of
all types, kills a lamb and
eats it on the spot.
To become a prize fighter
or a great warrior-eat all
raw meats.
To be mediocre-eat beef.
To cultivate brain storm
eat midnight lobster.
To be a molly coddler-eat
nuts and breakfast foods.
Success in everything de-
ponds upon the regularity of
your diet.
The department authori-
ties say that man reflects
animal spirit. Pursuing this
argument they point to the
fact that just as the carniver-
Gus animals, as the tiger and
the lion, are predatory and
ferOciOus, so can a human be-
ing become by devouring raw
meat. And by the same pro-
cess the graniyerous animals
like the COW and horse, are
tractable and strong just as
the man is who lives on vege-
tables. Thus by the regular
diet of beans three. times a
day, from generation to gen
GRAFTON, the subject finally
becomes a strong, but easily
persuaded individual. On
the other hand if the subject
eats raw meat sandwiches he
becomes belligerent, crafty,
treacherous and selfish.

in an exhaustive research in
to the effect upon the human
intellect of various kinds of
foods and will soon issue a
formal statement on the sub
ject.
Investigation by noted
scientific men throughout the

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

A bill to establish postal savings
banks for depositing savings at interest
has been introduced in the senate by
Senator Carter of Montana. The
proposed system is to be under the
supervision of the postmaster general
and secretary of the treasury, and
the former is authorized to designate
money order offices where savings
may be deposited. The sum of 81
will constitute the lowest amount that
may start an account and no individual
will be allowed to deposit more than
5000 in one calendar month.
Interest at the rate of 2 per cent
per annum will be computed once
each year and added to the principal,
provided such deposit does not ex-
coed $1,000. Moneys are to be KEEP
in United States depositaries, and the
secretary of the treasury is authorized
to invest certain amount of the de-
posts in United States bonds.
