A Hard lob

There is an old Irishman in Baltimore
who for many years was prosperous
as grocer. Not long ago, however, the
old fellow lost his all in "a. side line
and was compelled to look for a job.
Through the influence of friend he
was offered the position of crossing ten
der at a small railroad station in Mary
land.
The Celt looked dubious as the duties
of the office were explained to him and
the meaning of the various flagc was
stated
I'm case of danger, you wave the red
flag" explained the man told, off to in
struct Mike.
.'Wait a bit. wait a bit,'' interrupted
Mike, with doubtful shake of the head.

me. l could never trus mesilf to remim-

STRUGGLE WITH A TIGER.
The Strange Story of a Homeric Con.
test from India.

The Strange Story OF a Homerlc Con-
test from India.
Two brothers, Khuda Bakhs and
Shaikh Abdul CHAM of Moradabad,
were dispatched recently to Rampur on
an errand, and while entering a grove
at Khadpura a tiger sprang upon Khu-
da Kakhs, who, being an athlete, ward
ed off the blow aimed at him with his
right hand and caught one of the paws
with the other and maintained his hold,
though the tiger was mauling the other
hand.
Abdul CHAM now rushed up with a
stout stick, which he forced down the
tigers throat, making it release his
brothers hand, when Khuda Gakhs
seller another paw with his wounded
hand, forcing both the paws. back. He
wrestled with the tiger, keeping it down
by sheer force, while Abdul CHAM be-
labored it with his lathi and killed it..
The tiger was carried by the broth
ers to his highness the Nawab of Ram
pur who kept the skin as a. momento
and sent Khuda Bakhs to the state dis
pensary for treatment" Indian Daily

Burn Dead Animals.

In the attempt to stamp out hog
cholera and other contagious diseases
among live stock the matter of burn
ing all dead animals is one of consid-
cradle Importance. Outbreaks OF dis
ease have frequently been traced to the
careless disposal of the carcass OF an
infected animal Burning is much more
effective than burying, as the germs OF
some diseases, as anthrax, for example,
retain their virility for a considerable
length of time Then in burying car
cases, unless they are placed very deep
in the ground, there is always more or
less danger of their being rooted or dug
out. Dogs will dig open such graves
and hogs will root them out.
Those who have attempted to bury
hog or horse will readily appreciate the
statement that it is easier to burn than
bury them. A little kerosene and a
brush heap will soon dispose of a car
cass, with the certainty that all germs
are destroyed. Some recommend the
construction of specially arranged
furnace for this work, but on the ordl-
nary farm this would doubtless be an
added expense. 1t will not be a diff
cult matter ON any farm to gather
enough trash, such as brush, old rails,
etc, to burn a dead animal and the eX-
pense is inconsiderable. Anyway, it is
the only safe way to insure against in
lection.

Grnss for Meadows.

An excellent combination of grass
seeds for a meadow is two bushels Of
orchard grass, two of meadow fescuc,
half bushel Kentucky blue grass, half
bushel meadow foxtail, adding half
bushel of redtop if the soil is moist.
The above is for one acre. The seed
is costly, but it will pay, as such com
bination will afford succession of food
during the entire summer. Do not
grow any other crop on the land but
the grass.

More Horse Meat.

In 1906 $4,000 horses were slaugh-
tered for food in Paris, furnishing
about 10000 tons of meat. Formerly
horse meat was eaten by only the poor
est classes, but now it is no longer
regarded as refuse meat, and it's con-
sumption by the working classes is rap
idly increasing throughout Europe.

RARE COLORS IN MOLES.
Particular Varieties Confined to Certain
FieIds-PiebaId and White.


Molecatching first became a regular
occupation about a century ago when
English molecatchers were introduced on
the lands of the then Duke of Buccleuch.
The handsomest varieties belong to
the silver gray" class. If these could
be obtained in any quantity their skins
would bring high price in the fur mar
ket.
Mr.. Service of Dumfries, lately lee
turing before the Edinburgh Field Nat
ualists association, stated that he had
never seen a really white mole, and he
believed it to be a great rarity. Nor
had he ever seen a piebald variety. He
had little doubt that variation Of color
in moles ran in certain families.
The regularity with which a particu-
lar variety occurred repeatedly in the
same field or on the same farm was well
known to every molecatcher, while no
abnormal colOration would perhaps Oc-
cur in any other part of the parish
