SYMBOL OF BRUTE FER0CITY
IN All Ages the Tiger Has Been
Famed for Its Strength, Daring
and Deep Cunning.

1t is said that the tiger has never
been made the basis of a royal emblem
except by Tippoo, the famous sultan Of
Mysore. TippoO himself was as fero-
clous as wild animal and kept near
him mechanical toy representing a
nfe-sized tiger worrying the body of
British soldier. When the TOW was
wound up the tiger growled and the
soldier groaned and Tippoo smiled.
1t may be that the tiger, though the
ideal of brute symmetry and power,
has never attained unto the dignity of
royal emblem for the reason that in
every language the word for this ami
NAL is synonym for steaIthy, cruel.

things of the past in Scotland The

called 'Ieckerstone" and "LiGuorich."
One stone is still at Fathland, built

The Mansfield Collection.

Mrs. Richard Mansfield has given to
the National museum at Washington,
and 1t has been arranged in eight
cases for exhibition, the costumes, ar
NOR, Jewels, and other articles Of dress
that her husband wore upon the stage
In his many parts. Mansfield was ex-
acting about the historical accuracy Of
his costumes, where 1t was possible, as
well as about the quality of the stuffs
and the fashions In which they were
made. Hence the collection has a GER
tain value apart from associations
with him and with the American the
alter. 1t includes. for example, all his
dresses for Brutus in "Jullus Caesar"
