Tigers are cannibals; they will make
their mesis off each oiber They are
supposed to kill once five or six
days, and no doubt the tiger after a
heavy feed does not care to hunt
much for a few days; but a tiger kills
whenever he can. They have been
known to kill on fourteen consecutive
nights.
Mr. Inverarity believes that animals
killed by tigers saffer little beyond the
panic of a few seconds, The shock
produces a stupor and dreaminess in
which there is po sense of pain or
feeling of terror. The powerful stroke
of the fore paw of the tiger is a fic
tion: he clutches with his claws as one
might with the fingers, but does not
strike a blow,

other records of ancient customs, bea:
testimony that baths and clean linen,
perfumes and sweet odors were regarded
quite as much of a luxury then as now.
Few are, perhaps, aware that the origin
of the use of manufactured perfumes
had a sacred character, yet they were
an invention of the priests who officiat-
ed at the sacrificial altars in the olden
temples, and, doubtless, great necessity
must have been the mother of inven.
tion, for from the slaughtered beasts
must have arisen most nexious emana-
tions which all the water in the land
would not have washed clean without
