TIGERS FOND OF HUMAN FLESH
Many Natives Of India Yearly Made
Prey Of Jungle Monarch.

About 1000 men we're eaten by
tigers in India between 1900 and 1904.
A large proportion Of these unfor-
Inmates persisted during periods OF
famine, when the beasts are made
bold by hunger and are driven to the
plains in search OF water The deaths
caused by tigers in India constitute
81 per cent. OF the whole number due
TO wild beasts. All tigers are not man
eaters, but when a tiger has once
tasted mans flesh he will not be con
tent until he has had more OF It.
Where flocks and herds abound, how
ever, man is rarely victim OF the
tiger. An old man-eater is usually very
clever and tricky and can avoid the
most skillful hunters. II is affirmed
that a single tiger in southern India
has killed 200 men, and that one IN the
Himalayas has killed more 300

Order Of Fools was instituted by
Adolphus, count Of Cloves

OF their healthful existence at stated
intervals. the chief day Of which was
