A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.

From Death With a Ben.
gal Tiger.

During the past winter, Mr.. 2. G.
Campbell, general manager OF the
Campbell Bros. great shows, made a
our of the foreign countries in quest OF
some wild animals to enlarge their
menagerie. During the stop at Singa-
pore. India, he purchased a large col
lection of jungle animals. Among the
lot was a pair of Bengal tigers. These
tigers, by nature, are very ~feroclous,
and the utmost precaution must be
used in handling them. Each animal
was put in separate crates and all were
placed in the hold of the ship.
On the morning of the fourth day out,
Mr.. Campbell started into the hold of
the ship as usual to look after the well
fare of the animals; when to his horror,
he beheld the large male Bengal tiger
glaring at him from the top of a crate.
Before he could retreat the tiger made
a spring toward him. Expecting this,
though he had but a seconds time, he
jumped aside, the tigers claws tearing
his coat from his back. After some
foxy ma%neuvering, he managed to get
back to safety. OF course the passen-
gers and crew of the ship were in a
state of great fear and CONSERVATION
when they learned the facts. Mr..
secured long ropes and with
the help of the crew, one after another
Of the ropes were cast over the tigers
body until he became enmeshed in them,
when he was replaced in a stronger
crate. This same tiger is now to be
seen daily in the menagerie of Camp

Easter Morn In Rome,

Surely no sun upon an Easter day is
half so fine a sight in any part of the
world as in Rome. The relief is so
intense after the realistic scenes of
Passion week. First we have the cere-
mony of lighting the fire in the vesti-
bule of st. Peters. from which the fire
is taken to light the lamps before all
the affairs; then the washing of the
high altar in holy oil by one of the car
dinals; then at a given signal, former
ly the blast of the trumpet from the
loggia of st. Peters, the bells of 400
churches peal out the good news
Ring out the darkness of the land!
Ring in the Christ that is to be!
The curtains are drawn from the
paintings, and the organ bursts forth
with the glorious "jubilate." My heart
still swells to bursting as l recall the
scene and my intense Thank Cod

ton.

A Novelty For Easter Brides.

One of the new features of Easter
weddings is the Introduction of the
prayer book with shower flower mark
ers in lieu of the brides bouquet.
Through the leaves of a pure white
prayer book there are laid three rib
bon markers, the ends falling down to
within a short distance of the bottom
Of the gown. At intervals each of the
six ends is tied with lilies of the val
ley with double bowknots, making a
shower effect exactly the same as with
the shower bouquets. The ribbon is
white, of course, and about a third of
inch in width.

Holy Saturday In Florence.

At Florence on Holy Saturday a
chariot is drawn into the square be-
fore the cathedral. Within the chariot
are bundles of powder connected one
with another by means of Il fuse, and
from the chariot to the high altar of
the cathedral runs a wire. When the
crowd has gathered at a safe distance
around the powder laden car and just
as the bells strike noon the archbishop
releases 4 toy dove, which travels down
the wire with 4 bit of flame in its beak.
AS the messenger of fire flies into the
chariot its gaudy decorations are hurl-
ed into the air, with a roar and a cloud
of smoke. If the dove flies steadily to
its goal the year will be a propitious
one, but if the bird hesitates there is
evil ahead.-New York Tribune.

FOUR QUAINT EASTER EGGS.

forms her cap. y large potato may be
cut to answer for a shoulder block,

fits. This potato foundation must also
be covered with white lawn. The
features are drawn in, first very care

No. 3 is the head Of a jolly chappie,

made of plated tissue paper. The collar
is cut from ordinary white note paper,
and a bit of black Or gay ribbon forms
the necktie. This style of Easter egg
may be made most laughable by paint
ing the nose at the end very red, the
lips a bright pink, the cheeks Il trihe
paler than the lips, the eyes a twin
king black and the hair a color usually
known as sandy.
No. 4 gives an Easter egg in the
form of Il very fat baby'S face looking
from the full ruftles of a hood. The
egg is turned small end up. so as to
give all the rOundness to the double
chin and fat cheeks. Paint with wa

blue, the cheeks and chin delicate pink
and the hair faXen. Pick out long
lashes about the wide open eyes with a

A FALLIBLE CALENDAR.
How a GourdfuI of Stones Postponed
Priests Easter.

How a GourdtuI of Stones Postponed
Priests Easter.
In the Greek church every priest is
called Il pope. This title comes from
the old Greek "papaS'' GathcrJ, Il term
which in the Latin church came to be
applied only to bishops and finally TO
the bishop of Rome alone. The peas
ants of Bulgaria are mainly of the
Greek faith, and the village pope is To
them what VI. L. Cure is to the dcvOut
peasants of France. Consequently he
figures in many of the Bulgarian folk
lore stories and is sometimes even made
the object of a good natured joke. The
story of how Il pope lost his Easter is
repeated every Lent.
There was 4 pope Once upon Il time
who was unable to read and therefore
did not know when Easter was to be.
Knowing that his people expected him
to know it, he was greatly disturbed
by the fact and confidcd his trouble to
Il friend. 1T is easy enough" said that
man to the pope. Get YOU Il dry

there are fast days in Lent, and when
people begin to fast YOU begin throw

When the last II is gone the next day
would be Easter sure. And, Judging
from the cIdmor the pebbles make
when you shake the gourd, you can also
tell the people whether Easter day is
far or near" added his adviser.
The pope thought the idea excellent
and adopted it Immediately. He got
him Il fine gOurd, counted fifty-five peb-
bles in it, and rs the people began to
fast he commenced to throw out Il pcb-
bic every morning as he washed his
face. Whatever he did. wherever lie
went, he carried the gourd along with
him. But II evil day the pope fell
asleep. and some miSchievous man who
nd discovered the secret of the gOurd

cauld possibly contain. The pope, nev-
{ S%uspecting anything amisS, went on
With his pebble throwing business as
before. Finally the great day came,
as some one had read in Il book, and
the people and all the children, dressed
i'll their new clothes, started merrily to
go to church, when, to everybody's
amaZement, they met their own pastor
driving Il pIow and u yoke of oxen
afield.
Father Pope" exclaimed they, do
you mean to pillow on Easter day."
