For the benefit of the prospective
big game hunters a correspondent
finally disposes of the theory that a
tiger is unable TO jump to any height
from all tours. He records that he
took refuge in a tree from particular
tiger. The beast, however, jumped up
to him, like an india rubber ball. a
good seven feet" and it was only 'by
letting go with my right and ramming
both barrels down his mouth that |
did not have a very bad time Of It,"
The moral evidently is that when
avoiding a tiger it is necessary to find
a tree with its lowest branch at least
sixteen feet from the ground.-Indla

His Reply to a Petition For a Dishon-

His Reply to Petition For a Dishon-
est Boys Pardon.
The Hon. Alexander III. Rice once
paid q visit to President Lincoln on
behalf of Boston boy who had been
imprisoned for robbing his employers
letters. After reading the petition,
signed by many citizens of Boston,
the president stretched himself in his
chair and asked Mr.. Rice if he had
met man going downstairs.
Eyes, Mr.. President" replied Mr..
Rice"
His GRAND" said the president,
the penitentiary, and now you have
come to get a boy out of Jail" Then.
with characteristic humor, Mr.. Lincoln
continued: "I'll tell you what 1t is,
we must abolish these courts or they
will be the death Of us. | thought it
bad enough that they put so many
men in the penitentiary for me to get
out, but If they have now begun on
the boys and the jails and have roped
you into the delivery let's after them!
"They deserve the worst fate" he
went on, because. according to the
evidence that comes to me, they pick
out the very best men and send them
to the penitentiary. and this present
petition shows they are playing the
same game on the boys and sending
them all to jail. The man that you
met on the stairs affirmed that his
friend In the penitentiary is a most
exemplary citizen, and Massachusetts,
must be happy state If her boys out
Of Jail are as virtuous as this one APP

The French SchooIboy's Hard Day.

French children are often on their
way to school little after o'clock
In the morning. If they have conclud-
ed their lessons by 8 o'clock in the
evening it is only by dint of great APP
plication. Young men studying for
the higher professions have appoint
ments with their tutors at 5 o'clock in
the morning in summer time; other
wise they cannot accomplish the noun
tain Of work that lies before them. In
all branches of art the labor Of the
tyro Is immense. At the conservatory
the strenuous life is carried to point
which provokes the establishment even
of laborious German students.-Pall
