TIGERS AND GHOSTS.

Indian, folk lore cherishes many
strange traditions about the tiger.
Some of these are collected in
a paper read lately before the
Bombay National History Society.
Natives believe. among other things.
that the ghost Of a man killed
by a tiger rides on the beasts
head to warn him of danger and to
point the way to fresh victims. Eat
ing tigers flesh gives one courage. but
unless the whiskers are first singed off
the tigers spirit will haunt you and.
what is worse. you run the risk Of be-
ing turned into a tiger in the next
world. o allows a tiger rupee a
day for his food, SO, that If a tiger
kills a bullock worth 1--WE rupees he will
not kill again for Ave days. To this
may be added a true tale Of a tiger.
An unfortunate villager was killed by
one. The police held an inquiry into
the matter and submitted the following
artless report: "Pandu died of the
tiger eating him; there was no other
cause Of death. Nothing was left of
save some fingers, which prob
ably belong either to the right or left
hand. "-Boston Globe.

MONTCLAIR COUNCIL AS
A REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE.

The. Montclair Council figured as a
real estate exchange last night and
sold a lot in Madison venue. having a
47-foot frontage, to the Madison Realty
Company for Herbert D. Quigley, OF
New York. The lot really belonged to
the town, which acquired it by a sale
for unpaid taxes. but MI. Quigley en-
deavored to redeem it a couple of days
after the realty company had made ap-
plication to the town to purchase IT,
This concern is composed of a num-
Der of men living in the southern sec
ton of town, in which the plot in ques-
ton is situated, who spent about $4,000
IN acquiring the vacant land to keep II
from being bought up by spectators
who might build two-family houses or
it and change the character OF the
neighborhood. The action of the realty
company raised the price Of property
in that section, inc this plot was tbs
only one that 1t had not acquired.
Last night Councilman Charles Il
Hartshorne. chairman Of the law COM
mittee, reported that that body would
recommend thai the Council convey the
property to Mr.. Quigley on condition
that he agree to resell it to h Madison
Realty Company at a price which
would be placed upon 1t by the Council.
The Council fixed the price at $40.
This, 1t was said. would reimburse Mr..
Quigley and pay, the towns claim for
taxes and interest.

MISTAKES MADE BY
GREATEST WRITERS

A work of the Imagination 10 to be
Judged by its success in it's own field
and not by its failure in some other field
into which it's creator has inadvertently
strayed or consciously intruded. Were
a writer to set out to furnish a scienti-
fc description of the valley of the
Susquehanna, he would justly draw
upon himself contempt and derision
were, he to represent the faamingo as
disporting In Its waters or palms adorn-
ing its hillsides. Yet these were con-
tributions made to the flora and fauna
of the region by Campbell in his Ger
trude of Wyoming" Whatever value we
attach to the poem as poetry Is not
affected in the slightest by his action.
AS regards this same truth Of fact 1t
would also have been better had Kings
ley in his WESTWARD Ho" refrained
from supplying Virginia with the palm.
1t would furthermore have been bet
ter If Thackeray had not allowed
George Warrington, in narrating his
escape from Fort Duquesne in the
autumn of the year, to observe that he
had fallen in with hunters who were
making sugar from the sap of the
maple.
Lapses of this sort may impart a
momentary amusement to him who is
aware, of the actual truth; but If he has
an atom of sense they will not detract
from either his enjoyment or apprecia-
ton of the work wherein they are
found. 1t is exactly the same with the
linguistic errors into which he falls who
with insufficient equipment sets out to
tell tho story of the past in the language
of the past. The mistakes he is sure to
make will not impair perceptibly the
worth of what he has accomplished.
They will indeed eve be suspected
by the vast majority of readers. 1t is
only indeed by some wretched peda-
gogue like myself that they will ever
be recognized at all. Even to such the
main regret they cause is that writers
should take up or rather waste time in
efforts to secure for their works a sort
of rnament which, if genuine, would
be Of slightest value, and which q be
trusted to turn out almost universally
to be spurious.-Thomas R.. Lounsbury,

RUNAWAY STOPPED
In THE NICK OF TIME

A horse hitched to a buggy belonging
to G. Welton Edmonston, inspector Of
collection of garbage and ashes IN
Montclair, made a spectacular run
yesterday, and was caught just in time
to avoid a serious accident. The horse
had been left standing IN Walnut
street, near the Greenwood Lake rail-
road depot, and became frightened at
some object. 1t bolted up Walnut
street to Valley road, thence to Bloom
field avenue, where it turned east.
The exempt f1remen had just left the
firehouse at the corner Of Bloomfield
avenue and Valley road. led by a fife
and drum corps. on their way to New
ark to attend the parade as the animal
turned the corner. Just as it reached
within about twenty feet of the mer
in the parade. the horse slipped and
fell. Instantly, almost. itIwas on its
feet again, and just as 1t started tt
dash into the crowd. Edward Lennon
assistant driver of Hose Company No
/, ran out from the firehouse, seized II
and managed to bring 1t to a halt,
after being dragged about twenty feet.
Lennon undoubtedly saved some of the
exempts from serious injury.
