it?
I'VE had an American peeress aboard

York a stewardess came to me and
said:
"'Oh. Mr.. Meet. I just seen Lady
Blanks cabin trunk. and she's taken
two of our finest silver inkwells.'
Here was quandary. Ell? The cap

matter in the unsatisfactory way such
things are usually settled.

CarIyle's Curious Study.

Thomas Carlyle, the noted English
philosopher and historian, had curl
GUS study. It comprised the entire
third floor of his narrow brick house
at Chelsea, q London suburb. The
walls Of the study were Of double
thickness, to prevent street noises
from annoying the master while at
his work. and skylight afforded the
light. Just how fresh air was fur
nished the room was not apparent to
the visitor. There is nothing about
the room to suggest comfort, only a
close, thick-walled, skylighted long
apartment where the great dyspeptfc
worked and worked ceaselessly, and
from where he hurried to the kitchen.
in the basement Of the house, as soon
a. his days labor was done. In the
kitchen he received his most intimate
friends, and there they smoked their
pipes together.

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-
tunates 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 1t.
Where focks and herds abound, how
ever, man is rarely q victim of the
tiger. An old man-eater is usually very
clever and tricky and can avoid the
most skillful hunters. 1t is affirmed
that a single tiger In southern India
has killed 200 men, and that one in the
Himalayas has killed more 800.
