Almost Victim Of TIGER.

A thrilling experience with a tiger
occurred to a man named Campbell,
son of the superintendent of police of
Hazaribagh, India, a few days ago.
Campbell was cycling from Hazari
bagh to Hazariabagh Station, a dis
tance of forty-two miles, when at the
twentieth mile, he noticed road roll
er on the side of the road, and as he
approached this object a huge tiger
which had been sleeping suddenly
sprang up and barred further prog
ress. Campbell, who has only one
arm, did not have any other weapon
than an ordinary small pistol. Being
an experienced hunter, seeing the
man-eater about to spring. he dis
mounted his cycle and placing the
machine in front Of him, scared the
tiger away. The animal made it's way
into the jungle, which is very thick
at that part of the road, and young
Campbell, mounting his bicycle made
off. There has been a large increase
in man-eaters in the Hazaribagh dis
tl'ict Of late, owing to the decrease in
the rewards for their capture.

NEW IDEA OF MoTHER.lN-LAW
Possibly This ls One Of the Arrange
ments That Would Do Away With
Old Problem.

John Blank has just been telling
me of his trouble at home" said the
lean man, as he settled back in the
car seat beside an acquaintance. 81
guess he tells pretty near everybody,
so I'm not letting the cat out of the
bag by speaking of It,"
"Oh, yes" murmured the friend,
his mother and his wife don't get
along together, and Blank is between
the devil and the deep sea. Say
when do you think this weather will
let up?"
Dunno" replied the lean man.
But say don't see why there's got
to be so much mother-in-law trouble.
Now you take my family. Mother is
dependent on me and she lives with
US. According to most people, that
would spell sure trouble. But in our
case it hasn't worked out that way"
your mother and your wife are
both fine women" commented the
friend
81 guess that's It," agreed the lean
man. You see, I didn't marry till
middle age, and mother and | lived
together alone up to that time.
"Then / met Florence. She was a
successful business woman. 1t takes
lot of good hard sense to be that,
and she had it. Well, we married,
and she came right into my home,
with mother welcoming her as a
daughter.
Now, what did my mother do?
Did she sit back and sulk. or did she
get up and assert her supremacy
She did not. She held business
session with my wife, made a state
ment of assets and liabilities, as you
might say. turned the business over
to my wife, declared she was willing
to be a consulting partner If neces-
sary, but that 1t was her intention
and earnest desire to be relieved OF
| responsibilities and take a rest
IT'S working out beautifully. My
wife is the manager of the household
believe that she and mother have
sort of directors meeting once in
awhile, but mother has refrained from
giving any advice that wasn't asked
and has never insisted upon the car
rying out of the advice she has given
She is a pleasant and honored mem
Der of our family. In times of need
she has thrown herself into the work
without saving herself. and we owe
at least one of our children's lives tc
her care. Edna K. Wooley in the

Dobbs recognized his wife's voice at

No he said. "I won't forget it,.

"No-n-no-no-but I've been crying

Lives That Help.

Certainly, in our own little sphere
it is not the most active people to
whom we owe the most. Among the
common people whom we know, 1t is
not necessarily those who are busiest,
not those who, meteorlike, are ever
on the rush after some visible change
and work-it is the lives, like the
stars, which simply pour down on US
the calm light of their bright and faith
full being, up to which we look and out
of which we gather the deepest calm
and courage. 1t seems to me that
there is reinsurance here for many OF
us who seem to have no chance for ac-
tive usefulness. We can do nothing
for our fellow men. But still 1t is
good to know that we can be some
thing for them; to know (and this we
may know surely, that no man or
woman of the humblest sort can really
be strong, gentle; pure and good,
without somebody being helped and
comforted by the very existence Of
that goodness.-Exchange.

Great vioIinist's Kind Act.


An impressive example of kindness
given by Paganini, the great musi-
ian. One cold Christmas day he was
2ing along the streets of London
hen he saw poor blind man playing
violin trying 10 earn mite with
'hich TO buy food to satisfy his hun
er. But his tunes lacked power to
1ve the hearts of people and he re-
lved no response. The poor blind
ian stood hungry in the cold. AS
aganini approached him, he kindly
atted him on the back and said,
Won't the people give you any
noney? No. was the reply; they
won't open their window; it is too
cold Well lend me your violin"
said the great musician, "and | will
see if they will open them for me-"
Paganini played as never before. The
windows opened as if by magic. The
people listened, and money was
thrown plentifully to the beggar. The
sweet violinist picked it up, gave it to
the blind man, and told him to go
home out of the cold.

BUILD NESTS OF MUD
SOUTH AMERICAN BIRDS CON.
sTRUcT STRONG STRUCTURES.
As Small as the Robin, the "caseras"
Demand a Luxurious Home and
Have the Ability to Put II
Together.

Visitors to Argentina or Uruguay
are surprised to see big wads of sun
baked mud perched upon trees, rocks,
The cross arms of telegraph poles, or
fence posts and still more amazed
TO learn that these curious masses
are the nests or birds not unlike our
robins. The people call the little ar
chitects caseras thousekeepers), or
horneros (oven brds). for their build
ings resemble the dome shaped ovens
of clay that stand in every farmers
dooryard, says the Youths Compan-
ion.
When the autumn rains soften the
parched earth, pairs of these fore
handed birds gather beakfuls of the
sticky adobe soil, and mold it into a
roughly globular form. They mix in
very cleverly. a little horsehair, or
some fine grass and rootlets. which
prevent the walls from cracking as
they bake into sundried brick. When
they have finished the outside, they
build partition of mud inside, near
the rounded entrance. The inner
chamber thus formed is accessible on
| ly by small aperture at the top and
i'll it they prepare a comfortable bed
of grass, or sometimes of feathers
The finished affair is as big as peck
measure, and may weigh eight or nine
pounds. 1t does not crumble away for
two or three years. but the birds build
new home each season. The mother
bird lays five white eggs in the early
spring.
The country people like to have the
oven birds about their houses, and the
birds usually turn the doorway Of
their nest toward a neighboring house
or road One observer says that a
pair lived on the end of the protruding
roof beam of ranchhouse, where all
the family enjoyed their lively ways
and shrill song. One day one of the
birds was caught in a rattrap, and
when released it flew with crushed
and dangling legs into the inner room
OF its house where it soon died. It's
mate stayed about, calling incessantlv
Tor two or three days, and then dis
appeared. Soon it returned with a
new partner. Together they plastered
Cp the entrance of the old nest with
fresh mud, and built new home upon
it's roof
The advantages of the oven like
nest, especially when it has two
rooms are many. 1t completely con
ceals the brooding mother and young
it shades both parents from the hot
Hun and the heavy showers, and the
outer chamber furnishes a sheltered
lodging at midday or during the nigh
for the father Of the family. 1t car
be easily defended, too.
The caseras suffer however, from
one bold and persistent enemy-tht
martins. These big swallows refuse
o breed anywhere except in an over
birds nest. If they cannot find an un
ienanted one they will GUST the frs
pair of caseras they find from theil
mug quarters. Strangely enough the
poor owners seem unable to proven
he outrage, although they angril!
drive away all other birds that COM
near their castle.

was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t a local

treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci

constitutional treatment. HalPs Catarrh

Banknotes made in prison forms the
recent astounding discovery made at
the prison in Peterhead, Aberdeen
shire, the largest convict establish
nent in Scotland. For some time
tradesmen in the district have been
defrauded by counterfeit Bank OF Eng
land notes, and the police were
puzzled and baffied. Two Scotland
yard detectives were despatched to
Peterhead, and their investigations
show that the counterfeit notes eman-
ated from the prison, where they were
made by convicts. The convicts, af-
ter making the notes, passed them to
workmen, who were building a break
water in the vicinity, and received in
exchange tobacco and other articles.
The spurious notes were cleverly made
on paper that had been used In wrap.
ping butter supplies for the prison So
far, the police have failed to discover
the men who actually circulated the
notes: The prison contains 400 con.
victs at present, including about a
score of well known forgers.

Women that, in obedience to fash

coiffure or bonnet, and thus are a
nuisance in public places where spec

the stage, are merely initiating their
English sisters of the eighteenth GEN.

of 1895: "At all elegant assemblies
there is room set apart for the
ladies to don their feathers. as it is
impossible to wear them in any car

removed on this account, and the
doors are carried up to the ceiling.

but the woman cab driver, the femme

streets of Paris. Six years ago there
were at least 100; now there are only
six or seven, and of these all but one
will soon disappear. The survivor
says that at first men rushed for
cabs driven by women, and gave gen.

woman cab driver was celebrated
in song and in the revue. Then came

half century ago Mrs. Cuyler OF

between any two points and handed
the exact fare. And now there is a
woman in London who is accused OF
this hobby: She takes taxicabs and
compels the drivers to sue her fol
