Tracking a Tiger.
TT WRITER in the Indian Sport
/ \ ins Times gives some details
of the depredations of a tiger
(J in various villages during
the famine year. In the course of his
, remarks he says that for a whole year
the monster continued his depreda
tions almost without molestation.
Over forty people had been slain, and
the village herds suffered severely,
i The local forest ranger was in a state
► of terror, and had written to his su
perior in terms much as follows, show
ing the difficult situation in which he
compiled his reports: "February Ist.
Up a tree, where 1 adhere with much
pain and discomposure while big
, tiger roaring in a very awful manner
-on the lire line. This is two times he
spoiled my work, coming and shouting
like thunder and putting me up a
tree, and making me behave like an
insect. I am not able to climb with
agility owing to stomach being a little
big, owing to bad water of this Jun
gle. Jungle mans can lly up tree
quickly. Even when Ido not see this
tiger and he does not make a dreadful
noise, I see the marks of his hoofs and
his nails on the path." The writer of
this article continues:
So it came about that when my
camp was pitched in the vicinity of
the "Vellow Peril," a deputation,
beaded by ICoomhappa, presented it
self before my tent and hogged me to
" rid the neighborhood of a monster
concerning whose doings each one
had some piteous tale to tell. It was
a long trump up the valley before day
light next morning, and a stiff clinib
up the path, which wound its way
over the rocks and through the thick
bamboo jungle. Now the jungle was
so thick and extensive that to heat for
the tiger would be a useless task.
Notliiug could be seen in the dense
thickets of the cover where he lurked.
What was to be done?
Then I bethought me of a mode of
hunting of which a sportsman of
sixty years of age had told me. This
was the "shikar with hells." A na
tive, adorned only with a coating of
wood ashes, with a tray containing
burning oil wicks upon his head, and
a chime of hells in his hand, precedes
the hunter in search of game on a dark
night. Such was the plan now pro
posed. At 10 o'clock at night ICoom
happa, smeared with ashes and hear
ing the lights upon his head and the
chime in his hand, preceded me to the
♦forest. It was a weird adventure.
Nought could be seen but the dim out
line of trees in the gloomy forest My
companion's movements became more
grotesque, and, as it were. Inspired.
The lights danced before my eyes and
cast a beautiful glare for some yards
ahead. The tinkle of the bells be
came more sonorous, and filled the for
est with a wlerd noise mat exercised
an indescribable spell over the senses.
Suddenly the spectral ash-clad figure
ceased to advance, but frantically con
tinued its ceaseless antics. I peered
Into the gloom in front, and saw two
luminous orbs shining through the
darkness. Slowly they approached.
The movements of the dancer became
spasmodic as the huge form of the
tiger emerged from the shadows anil
stood erect before tis in the dim flick
ering light, with every hair set,
breathing heavily, with panting tongue
and heaving sides. As I raised my
rifle and fired between the creature's
C.ves Koombappa sank to the ground,
xliausttd by his exertions and excite
ment. The lights were extinguished
at the same moment, and all was si
lent and buried in darkness. For
some minutes I dnred not move. At
length, as my eyes became accus
tomed to the darkness, objects out
lined themselves amid the surrounding
obscurity, and tiro great form of the
tiger appeared lying on the ground a
few yards off. My bullet had pierced
his brain.—London Globe.
The Aincrtraii Spirit.
One of the most thrilling battles in
the history of American industry is
told in an article in Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly on the greatest jam
in the history of logging. Affairs were
desperate Indeed.
"That settles my 550,000 house!"
said one lumberman. "Twenty dol
lars a month is good enough for me
Dow."
jDne firm alone refused to yield.
"They were the owners of driver No. 4,
ti- j employers of John Walsh, and had
retained the generalship during the
long battle. A last stund was offered.
"Boys," said the two members of
this firm, "if she starts to go, save
yourselves the best way you can.
Never mind the driver, stay on top!"
And so tiic tug and the driver crept
slowly up the boiling water under the
Jam.
A pile was placed in the carriage,
the hammer descended. At once logs
commenced to shoot out of the water
end foremost all around them. The
pile had been driven into the foot of
the "jam, sa loosening timbers at the
bottom of the river. Luckily none of
them hit either of the boats squarely,
or the craft would have been stoved
in and rank. The fault of position
was remedied, and the work begun.
Four times the jam quivered. Four
times it paused again on the brink of
discharge.
I'One more'll hold her!" said Walsh,
■anxiously.
KT The pile was placed. Without delay ]
the heavy chains were thrown around
the winch, and the stcflim power began
to draw the clump together. On the
other side of the little channel the tug
lny trtdbred fore and aft. John Walsh
stood on the boom coolly tying the
last cumbersome knot of the system
of defense. Clark Deremo, all alert,
grasped the spokes of the wheel. In
the engine room, Norris, his hand on
tlie throttle, stood ready to throw her
wide open at the signal. A man at
either end watched the owner's up
raised hand, prepared to cut the moor
ing lines when it should descend.
"Look out, John," said the owner,
quietly, "she's getting ready."
The man addressed folded tho knot
over without reply.
Up-streara the jam creaked, groaned,
settled deliberately forward, cutting a
clump of piles like straw.
"She's coming!" warned .the owner.
"Give me every second you can," re
plied Walsh, without looking up. He
was just making the last turns.
Tho mass toppled slowly, fell into
the swift current and leaped with a
ronr. Tho man in the waist of tho tug
watched with eat-like attention.
"Jump aboard!" he cried to the man
on the boom, and his raised hand de
scended at last.
With the motipn the two axes sev
ered the mooring lines, the wheel
Whirled, the little craft shot from its
leash like a hound. And so fine had
they cut it that tho first logs smashed
the stern tail! But the opening was
closed.
A Quartet of Young Heroines,
Four girls, each under sixteen years
of age, who have received medals from
the Government for bravery in saving,
or aiding in saving, human life, de
serve something more than ordinary
attention.
Tlie first of those, according to St
Nicholas, is Edith Morgan, of Hamlin,
Michigan, who endeavored with her
father and brothers to row In a north
erly gale and heavy sea to a vessel
capsized three miles off shore. When
the boat was forced baclf Edith aided
in clearing the track through logs and
driftwood for the surf-boat, which
meanwhile had been summoned, and
also helped' to launch the boat.
On a previous occasion she had stood
in snow for six hours, helping the life
savers work the whip-line of the beach
apparatus.
When Editli Clark was nearly six
teen years old, and a pupil in a con
vent at Oakland, California, she
plunged into Lnke Cliabot to rescue a
companion who had disappeared in
sixty feet of water. Edith seized the
unconscious girl, and holding her head
above water with one nnn, iiaddled
with the other and trod water until a
boat came to her assistance.
Marie Parsons, of Fire Place, Long
Island, was only ten years of age
when she saw a man and a child
swept off a pleasure boat by the boom.
Observing that the child clung to the
man so that he could make no head
way, she sprang Into a small boat and
reached tho spot just in time to save
their lives.
When thirteen years old,.Maud King
saved three lives off Castle Pickncy,
the lighthouse depot In Charleston
Harbor.
Iu a furious squall, which added im
petus to the gale, a yawl containing
three men and a hoy was capsized. The
hoy managed to swim to the shore, but
two of tlie men succeeded in getting
only as far as tlie piles of the wharf.
There they hung, too exhausted to
climb up, while the. third man, unable
to swim, clung to the yawl.
In spite of her mother's protests
Maud prepared, unaided, to launch a
small boat iu the boisterous sea. But
she was joined liy her aunt, and to
gether they rescued tho imperiled
men,
John AValah, Hero.
Tlie spirit which we are proud to
call American finds a capital illustra
tion in the story of the great log jam
In Leslie's Monthly:
John Walsh, the moving spirit of
the gang, wore a hook in place of one
hand, hut he was a wonder fog all that.
His resourcefulness, courage and un
bending firmness had much to do with
winning the battle. He was there for
one tiling—to drive piles in the right
places—and nothing could turn him
from his purpose. If a man was not
actually working, he had no business
on the No. 4 driver, even though ho
might happen to he one of the owners.
One intruder refusing to leave quickly
enough John promptly knocked him
overboard into tho shallow water be
tween tlie driver anil tlie bank. Then
as tlie fellow did not rise John fished
for him In the most matter of fact
manner with his iron hook, threw him
o: the bank, unconscious, and went
oil driving piles!
Another time, the jam broke sud
denly, just as Johu had a pile in tho
carrier ready to hammer into place.
The driver was picked up bodily and
carried some distance. The crew
were pretty well frightened, but the
instant the craft came to a standstill
Walsh cut loose the hammer and
drove that pile. He had placed It in
the carrier for the purpose, nnd he was
going to finish the job If he were car
ried to Jericho!
Risked Llfo to Save the Ship.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg an
nounces that the cruiser Varlag, which
lins just arrived from the United
States, narrowiy escaped a disaster.
A trolley carrying s'x highly explos
ive shells broke loose and was rapidly
dashing down to the deck when Lieu
tenant Rlchter. sou of General Rlch
ter, aide-de-camp K the Czar, threw
himself before the trolley. He was
knocked down and nearly killed. His
prompt action, however, brought the
trolley to a standstill and prevented
what would have been a disastrous
explosion had the shells hit the deck.
-.HOUSEHOLD
AFFAIRS
For an Invalid.
A hop pillow makes an excellent
present for an invalid. The hops
should be put in a plain white bag
and then covered with a hemstitched
or frilled border pillow case with em
broidered design in corners or around
the edge above the hemstitching if so
desired.
For Cleaning Zinc.
For cleaning zinc under the kitchen
stove a housewife writes that she
never found anything equal to spirits
of turpentine. Spread the fluid all
over the zinc and let it remain for a
few minutes. Then take an old soft
cloth and go all over it, rubbing every
inch thoroughly. Wash up with hot
water and soap, and wipo dry.—Phila
delphia Record.
Pretty Summer Cushion.
A pretty summer cushion done on a
white material lias the green leaf and
stem design outlined with the carna
tion cord so much used this season.
The filled-in work is in a more delicate
mesh that beautifully brings out the
pattern. This pillow is edged with a
frill of green, and Is particularly ef
fective thrown in an arm-chair or
piazza bench finished in gay red.
Cool-looking white linen covers are
■worked over with a simple straying
design of green and finished with a
heavy green cord looped at the cor
ners.
A Useful Gluo l'ot.
There are a great many times when
a gluo pot In the house is a well-spring
of pleasure, and is an economical in-
I vestment, especially when of the kind
j here described: Buy at a tin shop one
small tin cau, costing five cents, and
a large one costing about ten cents, in
which the smaller can he set; five or
six cents' worth of glue will mend a
great many brokpn articles or will fas
ten things that have become unglued.
Put the glue In the small cup with a
little water; put boiling water in the
larger and set the glue cup in it; in a
few minutes the gluo will melt and
be ready for use.
Artistic Sitting Room.
A picturesque feature in a house is
to have a sitting room on a different
level from the halL In a beautiful
country house on the Sound the draw
ing room is two feet lower than the
long, low raftered hall, making the
coiling just so much higher. As one
stands on the threshold at the open
folding doors before descending the
couple of broad steps that lead Into
the room the effect is charming, espe
cially as the room Is treated In away
to enhance the Impression of sudden
brightness and freshness. The pre
vailing color in the hall Is Indian red,
with dark carved furniture and a med
ley of curios in the way of rare pot
tery, brasses and coppers, choice spec
imens of armor, etc., everything In
rleli, dark tones. But at the drawing
room door the scene Is transformed;
the walls are hung with beautifully
painted tapestries representing the
heart of the woods, flocked with
checkered shade and sunshine, most
realistically rendered. The floor Is
stained a suuny brown and covered
with mossy green rugs, while the
French windows directly opposite
open out on a terraced garden simply
ablaze with colored flowers, framed
in by the pale green silk curtains.—
New York Tribune.
Rice Cakes—One cup of soft boiled
rice; add one-half eup milk, the yolks
of three eggs, two tablcspoonfuls flour,
a pinch of salt, then heat the whites
to a stiff froth and salt with the rest.
Fry on a buttered griddle as soon as
jiosslhle after adding the whites of
the eggs.
Baked Spanish Onions—Select throe
large-sized onions; peel and cut them
up and down into slices about one
quarter of an inch thick; sprinkle each
slice on both sides with a dash of salt
and pepper. Melt one ounce of butter
in a baking dish, and place In this the
seasoned slices of onions. Bake half
an hour.
French Omelet —Melt one tablespoon
ful of butter in a cup of boiling milk,
pour this on one cup of broad crumbs,
add salt, pepper and the yolks of six
eggs, well beaten. Mix thoroughly,
then add the whites, beaten stiff.
Mix lightly and fry with hot butter.
This will make two omelets. When
nearly done turn together In the shape
of a half-moon.
Salpleon of Currants and Pineapple
—Cut off the top of a pineapple and
pare away the bottom so that It will
stand upright and firm on a plate;
scoop out the pulp, discarding the core;
mix the pulp with a pint of red cur
rants and half a cupful of sugar. Re
turn the mixture to the shell and chill
thoroughly. Garnish the dish with
the leaves from the crown.
Potato Soup—Boil five or six potatoes
with a small piece of pork and a little
celery. Pass through a colander and
add milk or cream (if milk put iu a
piece of butteri to give it the consist
ency of thick cream. Chop a little
parsley very fine and throw, iu. 801 l
five minutes. Cut dry bread into small
dice and fry brown iu hot lard. Place
these in the bottom of the tnreea and
pour the soup over them. If onion
flavor is liked two onions may he
chopped and put in with the parsley.

Balloon Over an Ocoan of Fire.
A Paris correspondent writes that
the aeronaut. M. Surcons, his wife, M.
Ohardon (General Secretary of the
last Paris Exhibition) and M. Biuot
(architect of the Porte Momimentole)
had an exciting balloon trip between
Itiieil and Beauvais. Passing through
the clouds they were caught In a vio
lent stonn, and when they finally
emerged into clear air it was at a
height of 12,000 feet, and they were
traveling over a veritable ocean of
lire, formed by vivid lightning Hash
es. The aerial voyage lauded near
Beauvais after being up nearly 4%
hours, and the ballt >n, which was cov
ered with snow, caused the greatest
wonder among the astouiylied inhabi
tants.
Our Highest Mountain Poak.
Mount McKlnloy, with an altitude

itna and Kuskokwiin rivers in Alaska.
Mount McKinley was known to the
Russians who settled about the head
of Cook Inlet nearly 100 years ago and
was called by them Rulskaia—that is,
Big. The flryt American to see and
publish an account of it was a pros
pector named W. A. Dickey, who gave
the mountain its present name.
