If Maine can't afford to spend
money enough TO rebuild the Blaine

enough to build a highway from

ALL BOW TO MY LORD TIGER
Natives OF the East Most Willingly
Accord Him Royal Ranks
Sacred From Attack.

OF all the animals deified in the East
none is regarded with more awe than
my lord tiger. Especially throughout
Siam and lndo-China, the tiger is king.
Shrines are built and sacrifices made
TO him; he is as sacred from the at
tack of the natives as is the white ele-
plant of Siam.
If there are fewer tigers in this part
of the East today, it is due largely to
the efforts of western sportsmen who
occasionally can persuade, bride, or
threaten a few natives TO aid them In
a hunt. ANY such lack of respect on
the part of the natives is, however.
looked upon frowningly by their neigh
bors who seem to fear that the tiger
will forget the exact individual who
attacked him and remember only the
community.
Native reverence goes so far as to
allow a tiger to prowl undisturbed
about a village night after night, at
lacking and sometimes killing those
so unfortunate as to cross his path. In
the day the sacred beast retires TO his
mountain domain, where he stays en-
tirely hidden until nightfall.
1t is obvious hat the royal tiger
rules entirely by fear. Awe-inspiring
he is himself. and his supremacy is
helped along by the attitude of the
natives. To the tiger are attributed
all manner of supernatural powers. 1t
is held that he always knows and
tracks down those who offend him he
can even turn himself into a human
being, the better to seek out his enc
mics.

Iiberian Hippos.

The Liberian hippos do not live In
dense forests; they do not frequent
the rivers, A small forest stream sat
lsfies them, but they do not enter ii, at
least by day. They burrow into its
banks, wherever there has been a
washout. and in these burrows they
sleep during the daylight hours. So
1t is very difficult TO trace them. The
first specimen that was seen could not
be caught, because all the native car
riers were sick, and the whole country
was. so flooded by rains that Schom-
burgk, famous hunter, could not camp
therein. After trying various ways to
capture the shiny httle beasts, Schom-
burgk succeeded by digging pits
whereby they were entrapped on their
nightly strolls through the Forest

Origin Of the "Foolseap."

The fact that the British govern
ment, on economy bent, has discon-
tinued the use of foolscap paper for
official correspondence, has called
forth a mild discussion as to the
origin of the name. Most authorities
are agreed that it is due to the water
mark, fools cap, with which this size
of paper was adorned, but when Il
comes TO the question of who first In
troduced 1t authorities differ. Some
say it comes from Germany, and point
to the fact that German paper, bear
ing a foolscap watermark, and dating
from 1870, was exhibited in 1877.
Others credit the claims of Sir John
Spielman, who had paper mills M
hartford toward the close of the six
tenth century. And yet others lay 1t
all to an order made by the rump
parliament which enjoined that the
royal arms in the watermark be re-
moved from the official paper Of the
house, and "a FOOLS cap and bells be
substituted"

FIRST OF MODERN PUGILISTS
Jack B%roughton, EngIishman, Nearly
Two Hundred Years Ago, Formu-
lated Rules to Govern Sport.

Jack Broughton, the father of pu-
gilism. fought his fSt fight on July o,
1725. He was engaged in many rough
and-tumble fights with other lads, but
at that time he knew nothing of box
ing, which was just being introduced
by James Figg. While attending a
fair Broughton was attracted by a box
ing booth kept by Fgg and was much
incensed by the foul tactics used by
a big man in boxing a much smaller
one. He demonstrated with the big
bruiSer and an alteration ensued
which had reached the stage of fisti-
cuffs when Figg interfered and invited
the two men to the stage to settle their
differences. Young Broughton, after
ten desperate rounds, completely tri-
umphed over his older, bigger and
more experienced opponent. That was
B~roughton's Introduction to the ring.
After Figg's death he became cham
pion and by formulating a cod OF
rules to govern the game he became
entitled to rank as the founder OF

curiously enough, from Martha. For

to have destroyed by the sheer pow

they were on pilgrimage Although
she is popularity supposed to have
been the sister of Mary Magdalen.
