A Few Deductions.
BY ELLIS o. JONES.

"Ah, Mrs. Brown" said Mrs. Sher-
lock Holmes, II observe that you
love formality, that you own this
house, although l am not certain
about the mortgage, that you are not
very we'll connected, that you do not
care for books, that you are trying
to make a grand stab at being rech-
erchee, while only succeeding in a
poor four-fush.
Perfectly wonderful, Mrs. Holmes.

Holmes, as she deftly unshined her
nose with a pocket powder rag,

pains to ask me to remove my gloves
and be informal, which showed that
you have formality on the brain and
that your remark was intended as
an apology for anything which was
not just so. If you were really in
formal, you would have said nothing
about it.
"You are not accustomed to good
things or you would not have served
that horrible cake with the tea.
Then, when you called the maid to

though awkward, proved conclusively
that you owned your home, but prov

Then you will recall your account
of how your husband complained of
having nothing to read and how you
chided him by the reply that there
were three large bookcases down
stairs and two upstairs, all we'll filled.
This proves that you look on books
as household furniture of the junk
type. Your whole demeanor proves
that you are a very poor climber
Perfectly marvellous, Mrs.
Holmes.

HANDLING A TIGER.

"1n cage near the room in which
I lived while in Khiva," says Mr..
Langdon Warner in the Century Mag
azine, was a tiger from the Oxus
swamps. He had taken a dislike to
me, and every time passed his cage
he got up and paced angrily toward
he, snarling.
Into the cage of this beast, at the
command of the prince, a Turcoman
stepped, armed with a short stick as
big round as his wrist. With this
stick he struck the tigers nose as he
made for him, and then, with the
palms out and eyes fixed. he walked
slowly up to the shrinking beast and
stocked his face and flank.
"The tiger snarled and took the
mans hand in his omen mouth.
held my breath and looked for the
bleeding stump to fall away. But
keeping that hand perfectly still, with
the other he tickled the tigers jowl
and scratched his ear. till with a yawn
and pleased snarl the big cat rolled
over on MS back to have his belly
scratched
"The man then sank to his knees,
always keeping his hands in motion
over the glossy fur, and with his foot
drew toward him a collar attached
to chain. This he snapped round
the beasts neck and. rising to his
feet, laid hold of the chain and
dragged the tiger out.
This was only the second time
that the cage he'd been entered. As
soon as the tiger was outside he es-
pied the watching party and started
for them, but came up short on the
collar. If he had chosen to use his
weight and strength no four of them
could have held his tether. but as it
was. the Turcoman found little diff

Canine Etiquette.

In their relations with one another,
dogs have keen sense of etiquette.
A well-known traveller makes this un-
expected remark about a tribe of
naked black men, living on one of the
South Sea Islands: "In their every
day intercourse there is much that is
stiff, formal and precise" Almost
the same remark might be made
about dogs. Unless they are on very
intimate terms, they take great pains
never to brush against or even to
touch one another. For one dog to
step over another Is a dangerous
breach of etiquette unless they are
special friends. 1t is no uncommon
thing for Two dogs to belong to the
same person, and live in the same
house, and yet never take the slight
est notice of each other. We have q
spaniel so dignified that he will never
permit another member of the dog
family to pillow his head upon him;
but, with the egotism of true aris-
tocrat, he does not hesitate to make
use of the other dogs for that pur-
pose.-Henry G. Merwin, in the At
lantic.

PUGNACIoUs EAGLE OWL.

On his way home one evening last
October from HARDENING railway sta
tion, in central Sweden, young man
when passing through a small wood
was vigorously attacked by an eagle
owl. Alighting on his shoulder, the
bird inflicted some severe wounds with
its powerful beak and claws, and
when beaten off it carried off his cap
in token of victory.
Some years ago several similar at
tacks by eagle owls occurred during
the summer months in the province
of Vester Gotland, in one of which an
unfortunate old man lost an eye.
A correspondent of the Swedish pc
riodical Fran Skog ora Sio states that
in the part of Vermeland to which he
belongs there was an eagle owl which
became we'll known for its repeated
attacks on human beings who CHANGED
to come near its abode. While cut
ting timber one day man was as
sailed by the bird, which drove its
claws into the upon part of his body.
He managed to get rid of it, but it
at once came on again, when blow
from his axe put an end to its further
attentions. A peasant in the parish
of Stammar, Nerike, had similar
experience in April last. He was
fetching water from lake close by
his house when an eagle owl suddenly
flew at him. A kick made 1t retire a
few yards, when it came in contact
with the fence. This seemed to irri-
tate 1t, for 1t returned to the attack,
but the man seized it by the neck,
tucked 1t under his arm and carried
it off home.
On the way the owls mate kept fly
ing around in unpleasantly close prox-
unity. Ultimately the captor had to
despatch his prisoner, his wife and
children being much scared at its for
midable aspect.-From the Field.

HIS "BOYS.'

There are times when the so-called
"red tape" of the army gives way
under the stress of circumstances. At
the Battle of Chickamauga, General
Willich, who was commanding bri-
gade, incurred the displeasure of Gen.
eral Rosecrans, the commanding gen.
eral, by some very slight omission.
General Willich was sent for, and
informed by the general commanding
that he must consider himself under
arrest for the present.
General" said Rosecrans, sternly,
consider yourself under arrest, and
leave your sword here until your case
is tried"
"Yes, general, will consider my
self under arrest" was the reply,
land shust so zoon as dis fights over
I'll come and fix him up"
But, sir" said the astounded
Rosecrans, II want you to consider
yourself under arrest now."
"Of course do" responded Willich
promptly, "and SO zoon as l get off
ulo hShly L II NC UP anu oSbbiV
But, sir" expostulated the COM
manding general, Il can't let you go
into this fight. You are under ar
rest. l will assign an officer to your
brigade"
you send an officer to fight my
boys!" cried Willich, Indignantly.
"He can't do 1t; they don't know him.
Me they know; teach them. l fight
them, and none of the boys would
know how to fight or what to do,
only when go with them. My boys
belong to me; yes, me, General Will
Itch. l command the brigade, and /
must fight the brigade!"
General Rosecrans gave 1t up.
General Willich was requested to re-
turn and flight his boys" which he
did most successfully. And that was
the end of the matter.

closely at the beautiful troubled face

a moment she hesitated, then slowly
nodded. He took both her hands in
his, and trying to speak in fatherly
way asked her to confide in him. He
could not eliminate from his voice the
intense feeling within him, and the
girl, suddenly comprehending what
this meant, grew more courageous.
"You know him WE'LL" she whis-
pered.
"Who is he, darling?" the name
escaped him quite naturally Then,
as the golden head inclined toward
him, almost roughly he placed his
hand under her chin and lifted the
dropping face. The rioting bushes
told him the truth, but before clasp
ing her in his arms he made his last
stand. Sweetheart, l am so old"
and then capitulated as two soft arms
crept about his neck.
Half an hour afterward there was
a timid rap at the door and Esther
started in dismay.

But Wallace, he never had any
