CHEETAH AND CHILD.

1t would create longing in the
breast of old Anglo-Indians to be
back in India if they knew of the
havoc tigers and leopards are play
ing in some parts of Bengal and the
United Provinces.
Near the Terai jungles the tigers
seem to have grown very bold. and
recently there were reports of three
or four men having been killed by
single man-eater. In the Nadia dis
trict in Bengal the conditions, ac-
cording to a correspondent, are worse.
The village of Guptipara is infested
with tigers, and the villagers are
forced to remain indoors after dusk.
This state of affairs is possibly due
to the fact that there are very few
Anglo-Indian sportsmen, nowadays,
who go out after big game. Besides
the risks, it is an expensive hobby
and takes up too much time. The
natives are also inclined to exagger-
ate in these things, and it is possible
that the passing of tiger through
a village has been magnified, in some
cases, into raid.
A curious story comes from Cey-
Ion. for instance, where a "cheetah"
had carried away child, and the
mother found it safe in the den. The
missing child was, of course, taken
home, but the "cheetah" apparently
had become attached to the child and
visited the house at night. 1t is
stated-and the respondentvouches
for the truth of the story-that the
"cheetah" reused the whole neigh
borhood by his attempts to enter the
house.
A true incident is, however, re-
ported from Ajodhyr, where a Hindu
priest was made prisoner, with his
family, in a temple by a leopard.
The animal entered the priests
house, but the latter took refuge IL
the temple. The leopard climbed Tn
a tamarind tree near the temple and
kept watch 1t was shot by gov
ernment official-Pall Mall Gazette.

TIGER HARD TO SNARE.

The intelligent Japanese is taking
an interest at present in geological as
in other matters. The writer over
heard a couple of these gentlemen,
newly come from official posts in Ko-
reap discussing, while standing out
side the bars of the tigers dens a
couple of days ago, the means, other
wise than by powder and bullet,
whereby the terror of the jungles
could be kept within due pounds.
1t appears that since the Japanese
occupation of Korea natives have
been forbidden to carry firearms, and
as consequence tigers have multi
piled to an extraordinary extent. 1t
is not safe to go out shopping after
dusk in some of the inland villages,
and as many as thirty or forty luck
less natives have been devoured in
certain districts within a week. The
authorities will not raise the embargo
upon firearms, how then is the num-
Der of these dreaded beasts to be re-
duced?
The tiger is possessed at times of
an almost supernatural cunning, a
wonderful sense of smell, and a fine
instinct with regard to traps and the
like, which make him as difficult an
animal to take alive as any existing.
Sometimes he can be shared, but not
often. On one occasion the writer's
Indian servant ran in a great state of
excitement to say a tiger was trapped
in the jungle half mile away, and
the entire camp of course at once
fiocked over to see the prisoner.
The trap was exactly on the princi-
pie of humble mousetrap with a
falling door, and bull of strong tim
bers laced together with rattans. The
imprisoned tiger was a full grown
male, and it would be difficult to i'm
agine anything wilder than his rage
as he roared and stormed and hurled
himself in futile fury on each part of
the structure in turn. There he was
to stay until hunger had rendered
him manageable, the incident sh0S-
ing that the tiger can be trapped, al
though not often. 1t is to be feared
the Koreans will have to recover their
muskets or put up with the sight of
hungry tigers wandering about their
village streets.-London Globe.

SeaWecd.

The much despised seaweed of our
fathers has come to have quite a
commercial value in these enlightened
days, especially along our Pacific
coast. Just at present the principal
exports are to China, where it is es-
teemed a table delicacy. Last year
the trade with China reached the
100000 mark. We of the Atlantic
coast sell little in that line, but
the trade is by no means so extensive.
Seaweed, however, produces bromine,
iodides of sodium, potassium, calci-
UNI, iodine, hydriodic acid, mercury
and magnesium. 1t is also employed
after drying in the place of grasses
as protection for breakable articles
packed for transportation, as a
sound deadener," for upholstery and
other similar uses.-Kennebec Jour-

From the clay of a railway cutting
near Spokane, Washington, has been
taken a tiny bit of vegetable fibre
the leaf of gingko tree which must
have fiourished something like one
hundred thousand years ago. There
are fossils of even greater age, of
course, but this leaf is still a leaf, not
a mere imprint in stone; and it is
beyond question the oldest known bit
of vegetable matter in the world. The
particular species to which it be-
longed became extinct long ago; its
only surviving relative is the gingko
tree of Japan. Its appearance at the
point where it was found proves to
geologists that it grew and fell when
the Cascade and Coast Range Noun
tains had not yet been formed. and
the Rockies themselves were young,

WHEN WINTER COMES.

When winter comes it brings the plays,
And who's as glad as we?
When sister takes me Saturdays,
What lovely things we see!
Though snow is flying through the air,
And afternoons are gray,
1t seems like sunshine everywhere
When riding to the play.
When I am settled IL my seat,
As coZy as can be,
The music plays so stit and sweet,
1t says Come dance to me-"
Though dancing down the slanting aisle
I'd dearly like to go,
I know it's best to wait awhile
And watch the leaders bow.
Until the curtain slides above,
And then the plays begun
With things to please. and things to love,
And always lots of fun.
If sad times come to make me sigh,
/ know 5hey1l soon be past;
Before we bid the play goodbye
1t all comes right at last.
l hate to leave the pleasant place,
But sister says to me,
Lets hurry home now, little Grace;
Therell be iced cake for tea"
At home, tell dear mamma all
About my happy day.
And. tucked in bed beside my doll,
| dream about the play.

Considering the industries of the
American aborigines, J. l.. Cowan
finds that basketry is the chief and
oldest, and was we'll advanced when
Friar Marcos de Mia visited Arizona
and New Mexico in 1889. The de-
signs, instead of being accidental or
representing personal tastes, have
traditional significance. The cobweb
pattern is associated with the spider
deity, the deer hunt with gods of the
chase, and even a break in the design
is intended to give exit to evil spirits
that it is not desirable to keep con-
fined. Colors also have their mean
ings, red-most important and sacred

olution of pottery from basketry can
be traced, the basket being covered
with clay as a protection against fire.
but the old artistic decoration and
perfection of form and workmanship
in pottery are to be found only among
the Hopi and Zuni communities.
Blanket weaving is the latest of the
Indian manufactures. Pleating and
weaving were known before the Eu-
ropeans came, but only after the in
PRODUCTION of sheep and goats was
the skill developed that has enabled

keta produced in the world.

VOWED double crossing OIL the ROCKY
Mountains. with a change of base at
Salt Lake City. The United States
Government brought about better
condition of travel by constructing a
trail through the Gallatin Valley,
along the course of the GunpoWder
River, reaching around the base Of
the mountains in curvilinear form,
which avoided the heights of the
Rockies.
ITO protect this route from ma
rauding Indians three forts were
built-Reno, Phil Kearny and c. F.
Smith. These were garrisoned by
United States troops. In 1858 the
murderous Sioux from the Yellow
stone Valley pursued a sanguinary
course up through the Gallatin Val
ley and into Montana. 1t was marked
by rapine and plunder
s'They beseiged Fort Reno and
killed many of the garrison. They
environed Fort Phil Kearny, and
wiped from the face of the earth ev-
cry human being whose walls it failed
to protect Then they surrounded
Fort G. F. Smith, whose 200 Union
soldiers found themselves encircled
by more than 1000 death seeking In
dians. Escape seemed impossible. A
courier got word of this condition of
affairs to General Hancock, who was
then stationed at St. Paul, and he
sent message to the Governor of
Montana, at Bozeman, calling upon
him to relieve the beseiged garrison.
The Governor of that Territory then
was Green Clay Smith. He was per-
picked as to what to do, as Fort Smith
was ESQ miles away and the country
between Bozeman and the fort filled
with Sioux Indians. He sent for Col.
HOWE. At that time Col. Neil Howie
was United States Marshal for Mon
tana and a typical frontiersman. To
him Governor Smith handed General
Hancock's dispatch, doubling if there
were any use in trying to relieve the
garrison.
"Col. Howie thought differently

WILD SQUIRRELS.

I will tell you about some wild
squirrels that live in the trees by
our house. They began coming in
the back yard and we would throw
nuts out to them. At first they were
a little afraid to take the nuts, but
now they will. There is a tree near
the back window, and from that we
put a board to the window. We fixed
a box on the window ledge, in which
we keep nuts for them. At first they
would only come half way along the
board, but now they will come and
take the nuts out of the box, and one
of them is brave enough to take the
nuts out of our fingers. They are
getting tame very fast.-MaX Irwin

mining development in the west, or are
they prohibitive to the opening of new
fields and new mines and do they thus
play into the hands of those owning
the remainder of the western coal
lands?
The present scheme of classification
and valuation by the government is
based on selling coal land at coal
prices and fixing the price per acre on
an estimate of tonnage content. and
quality of coal. An acre-foot of coal
comprises approximately 1.750 tons:
thus an acre underlain with 1a-foot
coal bed contains al.000 tons. The

and determination of the tonnage is
one of purely geologic scope; the val
