of
THE "TIGER AND HUNT" A THRILL
Six Shot In the Dark at Human Prey
with Tinkling Bell About His Neck
8ulclde Clubs In Which Poisoned
Goblets Are Used at a Feast.
London. Playing blind man's buff
"with death Is tho latest and most ter
Tlbly fascinating form of amusement
that tho long decadent Russian aris
tocracy has como to Indulge in, ac
cording to the St. Petersburg corre
spondent of tho London Dally Mall.
In ii cortaln clrclo of tho emplro's
faHhlonnblu set men and women seem
to havo gouo to tho last ditch of des
peration In an effort to get a thrill of
pleasure. The members of this circle
tsuum to have becomo utterly jaded
with all normal forms of pleasure and
recreation and to have become bored
with the attempt to sato abnormally
developed appetites. In truth, this
Bet has come to the brink of destruc
tion and Is willingly Jumping into
the grave.
Strange clubs have been formed,
and one of these devotes Itself to a
game of life and death which Is called
"Tiger and Hunter." In this game
lots are drawn to decide which mem
ber shall play the tiger and which the
hunter. When this is settled the tiger
has a bell hung about his neck and
t'he hunter is blindfolded and given a
pistol. The room is darkened, and
from galleries above the other mem
bers of the club enjoy the sport.
The hunter is given six shots at
his human prey, and if he hits tho
terrified man with the tinkling bell
about his neck he is the winner. If
the prey manages to escape and come
out of the pit of darkness alive then
he Is proclaimed the winner.
In the galleries above the members
of the club applaud and cry out
bravos to the hunter when he brings
the tiger so close to the grave, and
wagers are laid on the outcome. Wom
en of the same sort as tho men clap
their hands with delight, and the sport
with Death continues.
From the cheers and expressions of
encouragement from his backers the
hunter knows when he is doing well,
and either jumps nearer to his human
prey for a close shot or stands still
and takes more deliberate aim, as sug
gestions warrant. Sometimes the tiger
knows that his antagonist in the sport
will get him, and stands as if petrified
in the gloom of the pit, watching tho
muzzle of the pistol aimed at him,
fearful of moving because of the tell
tale bell, and noping to jump at tho
last moment and avoid the fatal shot.
While such organizations are prac
tically suicide leagues, the very peril
of death from another hand than of
one's own raises in the heart of tho
hunter's target a hope that death will
not ensue and then, too, there is the
sport of winning out.
The game has become amplified and
still more exciting, the latest rules
formulated being that In the event of
the hunter failing to bring down the
tiger after six shots, he shall change
places with the tiger and bo shot at,
and so on, until blood has been drawn.
The next step seems to be that tho
game shall continue until one or tho
other man is killed, for tho lust of the
members in the galleries knows no
sating save in death.
But this is but one of the clubs that
are suicidal in their purpose. There
Is another at which the company sits
down to a feast of champagne.
One of twenty bottles is mixed with
morphia. The guests' glasses are
filled, they lift them high and drain
them. Over the faces of those who
have received the poisoned draught
comes the pallor of death, and som
nolence comes over them. They wilt,
droop, die as the lucky ones look on
with pleasure at the spectacle.
Some of those who have not par
taken of the poisoned goblets, and who
wanted to die in such sport, frequent
ly cry out in their disappointment.
The correspondent of the Dally Mail
aays that the frequent unexplained
auicides are being laid to these terri
ble orgies with death, and that, more
over, many persons of fashionable so
ciety are Journeying to Finland to
throw themselves in the romantic Im
tra Rapids, to be swept against the
rocks and battered to death in the
awift currents.
While these terrible practices are
prevailing in certain sets of ultrafash
ionable St. Petersburg society, the
Mail's correspondent adds, neuresthe
nla is claiming more victims every
day among all sets of the rich and
the idle and the over-indulgent luxuriates.
ARRANGEMENT OF GLASS COV
ERING. of drainage material, preferably
ctiarcoal, 1 inch deep, then a bit of
gravel, and on top of this at least 3
Inches of sluan, gritty sand, not too
fine. Another pane of glass, 12 by
14 Inches, rests on the top, as shown
In the cut.
Tender plants such as geraniums,
coleus, begonias and others, root off
quickly. Woody cuttings require
'more care. For instance, welgela.
forsythla, honeysuckle, etc., should
have cuttings taken from well ripen
ed wood in July or August.. Cut to
a length containing two pairs of
leaves. Remove the lower pair and
with a sharp blade make a clean cut
right at the Joint. Many woody
plants will not form a callus except
hen cut at this point. Leave the
stem projecting a little above the
upper pair of leaves, so it may not
dry back too far and injure the buds.
Then the two leaves left should have
the outer half of tho blades re
moved. With roses, or other shrubs where
the leaves are not In pairs, the same
principle holds. Choose the wood
which has bloomed and cut to in
clude four or five Joints, always
making the lower cut at a Joint. Re
move the lowest two leaves and cut
back the others. They should be
pressed firmly In thj sa.nd, kept
moist and given plenty of sunlight.
SAFE FULL OF OLD DOUBLOON8.
Found In Old Adobe House In Mexico
Finder In Jail,
Morella, Mexico. Vlcento Castillo,
while tearing down an old adobo
house on the hacienda of Ignaclo
Flores, unearthed an ancient iron safe
full of Spanish doubloons and did not
top to say gooi'by to bis employer.
Florea sent otlcers after him and
Castillo Is now In jail, but says he
only found 130 In the safe. Floros is
hunting for the rest of the money.
A MINIATURE GREENHOUSE
Home-Made Box in Which Cuttings
May Bo Propagated.
For propagating cuttings, take a
box 12 inches square and 5 Inches
deep, inside measure'. A couple of
drainage holes should be made in the
bottom. Around the sides of the box
place four 10 by 12-inch panes of
glass, and fill In, first with a layer
Great Is Cultnlpn.
Arboriculture, an Indiana publica
tion devoted to forestry, gives forty
reasons why catalpa should be plant
ed. A tew of these reasons are as
follows:
1. By 1925 American forests will
bi exterminated.
2. The only valuable tree which
will mature in time.
3. Is antiseptic; requiring no
chemical treatment.
4. It grows in almost any soil.
6. Is easily propagated and man
aged. 6. Demands no professional
manipulation.
7. Most durable wood known.
8. Valuable for cross ties; have
endured half a century.
9. Nothing better for telegraph
poles.
10. Miles of living trees used for
telegraph lines.
11. Makes magnificent veneers.
12. Superior to oak for furniture.
13. Lighter than pine.
14. Stronger than oak.
15. Tougher than hickory.
16. Freedom from "warping.
17. Neither shrinks nor swells.
18. Makes best wood pulp and
bookpaper.
Thrashing Out of Shock.
If thrashing can be done before
the grain is damaged by rains all
well and good. Even with some
nice thrashing weather, under the
common practice now of thrashing
in circuits not many can get their
work done during the most favorable
time. Some must wait until the last
of the thrashing season, and during
this time the grain in shocks is sure
to deteriorate. In some localities
farmers are going back to tho prac
tice of putting all grain in stack and
giving It time to go through the
sweat before it is thrashed. This in
sures nice, bright grain, which may
then be stdred without any danger
of heating, and the straw Is much
nicer for feeding. But If grain must
be left in shock until a machine gets
around to you, then by all means
rut up good shocks and cap them
with two big sheaves. Walk around
the grain field every day and replace
any caps which the wind may have
blown off. If any shocks are dam
aged better throw these out as you
haul in to the thrashing machine.
A few musty or smutted shocks will
lower the grade of your whole crop,
when you come to market It. L. C.

Voluo of Alfalfa.
Alfalfa is the dairyman's friend,
surely, If the figures of D. H. Otis
are correct. He figures that a ton
of alfalfa contains 220 pounds of di
gestible protein, which at six cents
a pound would be worth 13.20, and,
if we got four tons to the acre, we
could hare a value of $52.80. Of
course, for a dairyman to realize
this much from an acre of alfalfa,
he must feed Judiciously and in prop
er combination with other feeds;
but If he realises only one-half of
this amount, he Is getting excellent
returns from his land. Wheat bran,
long the standard feed for dairy
cows, contalta only 12.2 pounds of
digestible protein In every 100
nound.
SEES EHS DOOM
"ark Star" Rushing from Distant
Spaoe Wilt Crash Into Sun,
Professor 8ays.
Boston, Mass. Professor Perclval
Lowell in a lecture at Harvard on
"Cosmic Physics" gave a graphic de
scription of the end of tho world bo
cause of the collision of some dark
star and the sun. The lecture at
Huntington Hall is the first in a series
of six. Professor Lowell stated that
unseen bodies in the universe must be
more numerous than the visible
bodies. He described the approach of
some dark star to the earth's sun.
"It would of necessity be a dark
one," he said, "for nose of the
bright stars could do this In
aeons of ages. But a dark star might
well be within striking distance. We
could be cognizant of it only through
Its borrowed light as it approached the
sun and by the perturbations of the
outer planets. Suoh a body might be
coming to meet the sun at about the
speed with which the sun Is moving
through space, tho relative approach
being then about twenty-two miles a
second.
"If the stranger were caught at tho
eleventh magnitude, which Is about
the practical limit, it then would be
twenty-seven years from the time it en
tered the renge of vision before it
rose to visibility with the naked eye.
It then would be not quite double the
the distance of Neptune.
"With accelerated speed It would be
coming on, increasing in three years
to first magnitude and In two years
and three months more it would have
reached the distance of Jupiter and by
far the brightest star in the sky. By
that time the earth would be feeling
the effects of the attraction of tho
stranger. The seasons would have
changed and the year would havo
changed and the year would have
grown longer.
"In 145 days It would have tra
versed the distance to the orbit of the
earth. Coming as It would directly to
the sun it would not hit any of the
planets, but would have approached so
near to the earth that the earth would
have turned from the sun to follow It.
"For nineteen days the chaos conse
quent on the disturbance of usual re
lations would continue, as, like some
comet glorified a thousandfold, the
tramp dropped silently upon the sun.
Toward the close of the ninetenth day
the catastrophe would occur; we
should know no more." He added that
such an occurrence is sure to come
eventually.
'QUAKE VICTIMS WHITE SLAVES.
Awful Fate Befell Hundreds of Girl
Survivors.
Borlin, Germany. Hundreds of Ital
ian girls from the 'qualie region of
Sicily and Calabra have been sold Into
"white slavery" In Buenos Ayros and
other South American cities, accord
ing to a statement made by Dr. Green,
who was in charge of the relief expe
dition that Nathan Straus, the Ameri
can philanthropist, sent to Sicily.
Green sailed from Bremen on the
Kaiser Wilhelm II., for New York.
"Tho most horrible tragedy of the
earthquake," he declared, "was the
fate that befell hundreds of girl sur
vivors, whose 'parents were killed. Un
scrupulous dealers searched out these
girls amid the ruins and enticed them
away with promises that they were
taking them to members of their fam
ilies, who, the girls were told, had mira
culously escaped and were now search
lug for them.
"In their terrible anguish these poor
girls readily believed these stories and
followed these human vultures to any
place designated. The excitement
throughout the whole of Italy was so
great at the time that it was a com
paratively easy matter to imprison
these girls and ship them to South
America, where agents sold them to
houses of vice."
PARIS SUPREME IN DRE88.
America May Get Goods and Workers,
but not the Cachet, Says Worth.
Paris, France. Worth the dress
maker when questioned concerning
the storleB cabled from New York that
women were rebelling against the
Parisian dictatorship in fashions
smiled a smile of placid content and
said he had not the slightest fear of
losing American trade. He added;
"We can make dresses better than
anybody in the world and we do not
fear rivalry. It is impossible to pro
duce the creations that have made
Paris famous without Paris artists
and Paris workwomen. The Ameri
cans might Import these, but in six
months after they left France they
would lose the ohic which makes
Paris gowns unique.
"The experiment has ben tried in
London, and although the models, ma
terials and workers were all Parisian
the experiment failed. It is the artis
tic atmosphere of Paris which gives
a dress made here lis cachet. Tho
Americans have not got it and cannot
get it."
Workmen to Get 91,000 Each.
New York City. One of the most
remarkable bequests on record in
Westchester County came to light
when it was made known that by the
terms of the will of Mrs. Eva Smith
Coohran, who left an estate valued at
$8,000,000, many employees of the
Smith Carpet Company at Yonkers,
N. Y have ben left a legaoy of
000 eaoh. The bequests are made to
those who have been In the employ
of the company twenty years or more.
The eosspaay employs a larg working
force sad It is said tfaat mora than
250 are eligible to resits IsfMlss un
der the yrOTlstona of the tsatsjnsnt.

512,000,000 FOR A HORSE
Agreed to Pay Deans on Basis of
Geometrical Progression, and It
Will Take 5,000,000 Bushels.
Kalamazoo, Mich. Twelve million
dollars for a horse! That's going
some and makes all the fancy prices
paid for Dan Patch, Arlon, Salvator,
and other equine stars look like thirty
cents. Yet just such a deal has been
closed in Kalamazoo, which for many
days promises to be a record transac
tion and in every sense of word is
bonaflde.
It is between Frank Kress, superin
tendent of the Riverside Coating Mills
and Louis Ehrmann, Rose street ho
tel man. All came about through a
dispute over the weight of a truck
horse in question. Mr. Kress In
sisted it weighed more than 1,160
pounds, while Mr. Khrmann was
equally certain that It did not. There
upon Mr. Kress snld ho would bo will
ing to sell the horse to Mr. Ehrmann,
taking beans in pay, one bean for
first pound in excess of 1,160, two
beans for the second, four tho third
and so on.
This bargain was snappod up in a
hurry. The horse wolithed was found
to weigh exactly 1,200 pounds, just
forty excess of weight claimed by own
er. Local mathematicians got busy
and figured up on the transaction.
Kress finds by allowing 5,400 boans
to a quart, Mr. Ehrmann will have to
pay him 5,000,000, bushels of beans for
the animal.
Beans now sell at $2.40 to $2.50 a
bushel, which makes the price $12,
000,000 to $12,500,000, and half a mil
lion is really a small matter In such a
transaction. Kress delivered the
horse and intends to hold Ehrmann to
his contract.
EARTH SWALLOWS A TREE.
Jersey Maple Drops Into a Hole 100
Feet Deep.
Dover, N. J. Forty feet from the
gate of the yard of James Arthur and
a step or two off from the main road
at Richard's Mine, a section of tho
earth's surface slipped through a fis
sure in the roof of an abandoned bead
ing. Mr. Arthur, superintendent of tho
Chambers Iron Company, was leaving
his yard when he noticed that a ma
ple tree which stood across from hla
place was missing. He crossed and
found where the tree had stood a hole
thirty feet across and a 'hundred feet
deep. The tree rested on the bottom
of the hole.
This is the third happening of th
kind in that vicinity in the last few
years. The whole mountainside is
honeycombed with abandoned workings.
POETRY PARTS A COUPLE.
Wife Writes It Husband Prints It
Public Ignores It.
Des Moines, Iowa. "She insists on
writing poetry, which somehow tho
genral reading public doesn't appreci
ate, but it takes lots of my money to
have the stuff printed and put out la
book form."
This is the charge made against
Elizabeth Morris by her husband,
George Morris, in a cross bill filed to
her petition for divorce.
Since their marriage, he asserts,
she has led him away on "wild goose
ohases" over the United States, at
which time she sought to be close to
nature, occupying all her leisure mo
ments In writing pages of poetry.
These effusions, Morris says, he was
forced to put out in book form for her.
And he says it was an awful drain on
tils patience and his pocketbook.
The Successful Cow.
if the cow appropriates all the
nourishment taken from her food to
build up tat cells and does not di
vert It to the udder to be drawn
o in the form of milk, she Is a fail
ure as a milker and belongs no
where else than with tho beef cat
tle. On the other hand, if a cow
has the milk-producing qualities, Is
small of stature and appropriates
practically all ot her food to tho
cause of increasing the milk supply,
she Is pretty apt to be a success as
a dairy cow and a safe Investment
for speculation in that particular
class of specializing. j
