A TIGER CAGE.
" II TELL, my boy If you want
YV tiger you've come to the right
place, for this and the bit around Fort
Perovskl are almost the only spots on
the whole river where they are any left;
Indeed, I might Bay the only spots In all
Central Asia, except the great jungle of
the III, two days' Journey north of
this."
So spoke Colonel PetrofT (the Russian
commandant of the little outpost of
Tchlna, on the Upper Ryr-Darla), to
his excited junior olllcer, Lieut. Galkln,
who had made up his mind that the flist
duty of every right-minded officer was
to shoot a tiger single-handed, and that
life would be a blank to him till he had
done so.
"And what's the best way to get at
themV" asked the younger mau, with
a Hush of excitement on his handsome
face.
"Well, If you're so anxious to make
their acquaintance," said the veteran,
smiling at the lad's eagerness, " there
are several ways of doing It. First and
foremost, you can just follow the beast's
trail till you come upon him, and then
shoot him down ; but that's rather dan
gerous, and not very certain either, for
the trail's apt to get blurred in among
those big reeds."
" Well V"
" Well, secondly, you can drift along
the bank in a boat, and fire at 'em as
they come down to drink ; but that's
not always certain, because, If there's a
moon, they see you and run away, and
if there's not, you can't see them at all.
Thirdly, there's the cage."
"The cage?"
" Yes ; you shut yourself up in an
iron cage among the reeds, with a big
bit of horse-flesh beside it by way of
bait, and when the tiger scents the meat
and comes after it, you fire at him."
" Capital I" shouted Calkin, with a
loud laugh ; " that's quite a new idea.
The cage be it by all means."
" Well, I wouldn't begin with that, if
I were you, my boy," said the Colonel,
gravely, " for it's a risky business at
best. A tiger-hunt is very good fun so
long as It's you who are hunting the
tiger; but when the tiger takes to
hunting you, it alters the case a good
deal."
However, Galkln was not to be moved
and daybreak next morning found him
in his cage among the hugh reeds (tall
enough to overtop a six-foot grenadier
with his cap on), through which as they
swayed in the morning breeze, he caught
a passing glimpse, every now and 'then
of the broad, shining river, and the little
tumble-down mud hovels and clustering
trees on the opposite shore.
The most trying part of an exciting
adventure is the waiting for it to begin,
and so our hero found it ; but, luckily,
he had not long to wait. The Central
Asian tiger has a keen scent for prey of
any kind, and the warning crackle of
the reeds was speedily followed by the
gliding out of a huge gaunt yellow body
straight toward Galkln's ambush.
Despite his perilous position (for the
cage was a pretty old one, and it's rusty
bars seemed hardly to be trusted against
the rush of a full-grown tiger), Galkln
could scarcely help laughing at this
curious reversal of menagerie rules the
man in the cage, aud the wild beast
walking round it to look at him. But
he was not the man to let either the
joke or the danger unsteady his hand.
He aimed carefully at a vital spot behind
the fore-shoulder, and let fly.
The huge beast leaped high into the
air, rolled over on its back, and, after a
few convulsive kicks, lay dead before
him. Hurrah 1 Up sprung Galkin,
quite forgetting the cage in his excite
ment, and hit his head such a bump
against the bars that for a moment he
hardly knew where be was.
The shout was answered by a long
snarling cry, and out from the reeds
broke a second tiger, evidently a young
one, although quite big enough to have
finished our friend with one bite. Gal-
kin felt for his cartridge-pouch, to re
load for a second shot, when, lo I no
pouch was to be found. And now to his
dismay, be perceived that it had been off
when he jumped up, and was lying out
side the cage, where it had rolled over a
slight decent of the land quite out of
his reach.
Here, now, was a pretty piece of busi
ness. But, if the hunter was at a nonplus,
the tiger himself seemed to be no less
bo. This cross-barred machine, with a
motionless human figure inside of it (for
Galkln, finding himself defenseless, re
mained as still as a statute), was a com
plete puzzle to him. He had never seen
anything of the kind before. It might
be a trap. Who could telly On the
whole, he appeared to think that his
wisest way was to begin with the horse
flesh, which he soon disposed of a
somewhat disagreeable hint to Galkin of
what might shortly lit full him.
Breakfast over, the tlgcr-kltten seem
ed to wax frolicksome. lie leaped up
against the cage, Bin! put his fore paws
on the top of it, bringing his face so
near Galkln's that the poor Lieutenant
alpost felt the hot, rank breath, Sup

But what did happen was almost as
bad. Overbalanced by the beast's
weight, the cage rolled over, and the un
lucky officer along with It ; while the
tiger, delighted with the sport, and evi
dently thinking the whole alliilr a toy
meant for his own special amusement,
patted it about with his huge paws like
a cat playing with a mouse, tumbling it
over once or twice, and bumping poor
Galkin against the bars till be was pret
ty well bruised. All at once there came
a tremendous crash, as a thick clump of
reeds gave way, and splash down into
the river went cage, Galkin and all I
Fortunately for our hero, there was a
mud-bank close to the shore, so that the
water only came up to his belt ; but,
even so, to sit waist-deep in a cold river
for an indefinite time, with a tiger
mounting guard over him, was anything
but a pleasant prospect. Moreover, the
tiger, which was standing on the bank
above, with a face of great disgust at
the loss of its toy, seemed strongly in
clined to leap down after it ; in which
case the sportsman would be rolled over
in deep water and perhaps drowned at
once.
Just at that moment came the sharp
crack of a rifle. The tiger fell headlong
into the river, while Galkin, looking up
saw a boat coming toward him, pulled
by two Tartars, behind whom appeared
the grinning face of his friend, the
Colonel.
" I hope you like your day's sp'ort, my
boy," chuckled the old soldier, as he
opened the cage and pulled out his half
drowned comrade. " I was up stream,
looking to see if I could find any game
worth firing at, when I heard the crack
of your piece, and I came along to Bee
what had happened and on the whole,
I think it's just as well I did."
ECCENTRIC MISERS.
WE once knew an old Scotch lady
who though she had a considera
ble sum of money left her, was parsimo
nious to an extraordinary extent. As
she grew old, she grew more miserly,
until she would not allow herself milk
for her tea or meat for dinner. Bent
double with rheumatism In her old age,
she would not pay any one to wash or
clean her house, but with infinite labor
accomplished these tasks for herself.
She never would send for a doctor, for
she pithily remarked, "They cost a
power o' siller, and did uo good." On
bitter winter days we often found her
shivering over a single handful of fire ;
a small piece of hard cheese and a cup
of tea with mouldy bread her only din
ner. When she died she left about eight
hundred pounds, besides various money
la silver, copper and bank-notes, which
she had stuffed into drawers and various
secret recesses. All her money went to
a couple of nephews, who never paid
her the least respect, and who even
grudged the necessary outlay for her
funeral.
An old clergyman of very mean habits
got married when far advanced in life,
to the great surprise of all his acquaint
ances, who wondered at such an act of
extravagance. Upon inquiry, however,
it was found that he had married entire
ly from motives of economy. The lady
of his choice was the widow of a respect
able school-master, who after her bus
band's decease was in the habit of lend
ing him the clothes of the' defunct ; so,
thinking that marriage would put him
in possession of the remainder of the
said garments, he proposed, and was ac
cepted. His stipend was, with glebe
and other things, about two hundred
pounds per annum, yet by dint of Bheer
niggardliness he died leaving many
thousands. He made a point of picking
up and taking home anything he could
find a piece of coal fallen from a pass
ing cart, old lucifer-match, boxes and
pieces of sticks from a neighboring
wood anything to save outlay in his
own house. He never wrote on a new
sheet of paper, always blank pages of
other people's letters, and turned all en.
velopes outside in, so as to make them
available for his own use. After his
death, a drawer full of turned envelopes
gummed together in a very ingenious
way, were found. On one occasion he
gave a dinner, which consisted of a
sheep's head minus the trotters, which
were to be kept for next day's dinner.
American Scissors In Sheffield.
A correspondent of the Portland (Me.)
Advertiser relates as follows his experi
ence In looking for a proper souvenir of
Sheffield, England, famous for its
cutlery :
" Every other shop in the place seem.
ed to be a cutler's shop and into one of
the best of thebe I ventured, requesting
to look at his scissors. It Is a hobby of
the English shopkeepers, to shop his
cheapest goods first, no matter who his
customers may be. Enter a shop in
lu pursuit of something really good, for
which you are willing to pay, and it
generally takes three or four strong ef.
forts to obtain It-he will persist in
showing you all the cheapest grades
first. So tray after tray of common
cheap scissors was displayed on the
counter.
"Have you nothing better than these'r"
I asked at Inst. " I am buying these
scissors for Shefileld'g sake, and I want
a good pair."
Out came another case, still In no way
fine goods. I had already looked five or
six grades.
" If these are your best," I said, "I
will look a little further on."
" Oh," said the shopman, " we have
one more kind very fine goods, Indeed,
the best in the shop, but they are quite
expensive," and he took out a tray of
really good scissors. I took up a pair to
examine them, and read stamped on the
blade, " Newark, New Jersey 1" As I
could not reconcile myself to take a pair
of New Jersey scissors as a souvenir of
Sheffield I was obliged to leave the dis
gusted shopman to lock up his precious
scissors again, probably more than ever
grounded in his belief that the high
price of his goods was my reason for not
purchasing."
A Midnight Wedding.
Justice Streng,of Hoboken, was awak
ened about midnight on Tuesday, and
on going to the window saw a man and
woman standing at the door. The man
requested the Justice to come down
stairs, as he had some urgent business
on hand requiring immediate attention.
On being admitted to the house the man
introduced himself as William McManus
and his companion as Miss Salome Deal,
who, up to a few days ago, lived with
her father, Stewart Deal, a wealthy resi
dent of Seneca street, Buffalo.
The justice quickly learned that the
couple had eloped and desired to get
married. McManus was not at all re
tlclent, but gave the justice a graphic
history of the many thorns and obstacles
which had beset tbelr path. Miss Deal
was petite, handsome, and evidently a
young woman of culture and refine
ment. Her father's wealth and position
enabled her to move in the best circles
in Buffalo. McManus is the captain of
a canal boat which navigates the Erie
canal, between Buffalo and other points.
He Is a handsome, manly-looking fellow,
bronzed by constant exposure to the
sun.
He and Miss Deal met by chance. It
was a case of love at first sight. They
met frequently until the young lady's
father discovered their intimacy and
became very angry. He warned his
daughter never to see or speak to Mc
Manus again, and threatened to shoot
McManus if he persisted in her atten
tions to ber. The lovers managed to
communicate with each other, and ar
ranged a plan of elopement. McManus
came to New York, and she followed
him on the canal boat of a friend.
She arrived in New York Tuesday
night last, and was immediately joined
by McManus. Fearing that the New
York police had been notified to look
for the young lady, they decided to pro
ceed at once to Hoboken and get mar
ried. Justice Streng performed the
ceremony, and the happy couple took
their departure for McManus' boat, on
which they intend to live.
Had a New idea.
- Chicago has a wealthy citizen of very
liberal disposition. Although belonging
to no particular religious sect, he has
always hitherto been found ready to
contribute to the carrying out of spirit
ual schemes requiring money. Not
long ago he happened to have a business
transaction with one of the deacons of
of a certain church, and the deacon got
the best of him. A few days afterward
the pastor of this same church called on
the merchant for a subscription toward
his schools, but to his surprise the usual
ly amiable capitalist pushed the subscrip
tion book aside, with the abrupt remark,
" Played out."
" Dear me," said the surprised parson,
" I really counted on you, Mr. K
you've always been so liberal that I was
in hopes you would bead the subscrip
tion list."
"Iam done." said the merchant.
" I have changed my mind. I don't
think half the people go to hell that
ought to."
C7The small boy of Baltimore is
notoriously inventive. One particular
specimen is famous for several squares
around his home. Not to mention such
ordinary recreations as tying a bunch of
tin cans to a dog's tail, he recently tied
two cats together and hung them over
a door bell knob of a wealthy citizen's
residence.

SUNDAY UEALIN3.
Afraid to Swear Alone.
The wicked practice of swearing,
which Is so common as to offend the ear
in every hotel and on almost every street
is often mere bravado. Boys think it
seems manly to be profane, and men
think it gives force and character to
their sayings. Unlike most vices, It is
done openly, and is intended by the
swearer for other people's ears. It is
a publio sin against God and a public
Insult to all good men. The boldest
blasphemers are often the greatest cow.
ards.
" I will give you $10," said a man to
a profane swearer, " if you will go into
the village graveyard at 12 o'clock, to
night and swear the same oaths you
have uttered, when you are alone with
God."
" Agreed," said the man, " an easy
way to make $10."
" Well come to-morrow and say you
have done it and you shall have your
money."
Midnight came. It was a night of
great darkness. As he entered the cem
etery not a sound was heard ; all was
still as death. Then came the gentle
man's words to his mind. " Alone
with God i" rang in his ears. He did
not dare to utter an oath, but fled from
the place crying ; " God be merciful to
me a Binner."
Rest for the Weary.
What a strange thought! All this
restless world is seeking rest. Those
who drag their weary bodies home night
after night, and fail down upon their
restless beds worried with the anxieties
and cares of business, are yet seeking
rest. It Is not found in poverty; per
haps it lurks under the rich man all the
while that he lies groaning on his couch
or stands with wrinkled brow perplexed
with care. What is rest '( It is the di
vine principle of peace within that
comes from God. As well seek roses
upon the pallid cheek of death as rest
out of God. The needle rests not until
it turns to the pole. If a little child is
frightened at play it comes running Into
the house for its mother. She takes it
to her bosom, presses kisses upon its
brow and while she sings some lullaby
of love , all fear fades from the face and
he sleeps in peace. God wants to fill a
mother's place to all the world. If it be
misfortune, or poverty or gloomy fore
boding that makes one unhappy, God
can give him rest and breathe a lullaby
of love about his tempest tossed soul
that will still its raging. Best, peace,
Is a principle that lies within us and
not without. Some possessing it have
found a crowned head uneasy. O, that
every anxious, longing heart would look
away to Him who walketh among the
golden lamps of heaven 1 " Take my
yoke upon you, and ye shall find rest to
your soul."
Fretful People.
Some people are always fretting. It
Is a habit. They fret with equal facility
about something and about nothing. A
real cause or imaginary cause serves
them equally well.
Such people make not only themselves
but every one uncomfortable. Kain or
shine, sunlight or darkness, health or
sickness it Is all the same to them.
Nothing was ever, nothing ever will be,
exactly right.
Now this habit of constant fretting
must be guarded against. It Is extreme
ly disagreeable. One fretful person is
enough to put a whole house out of sorts.
And the habit is contagious. The influ
ence of one fretful person is apt soon to
be shown throughout a whole family.
It Is a habit early acquired, but very
difficult to guard against.
Fretful people indulge in the habit
without being conscious of it them
selves. If they could hear themselves
as others bear them they would be sur
prised. They little dream of the dis
comfort they produce. One unhappy
disposition is enough to blight the exist
ence of all who dwell under the same
roof.
Bad Habits.
It is easier to keep out of bad habits
than it is to get out of them when you
are once in. The first lime you yield to
temptation you become bound by a hair.
After a while you are bound by a green
withe and at last by a cable which no
man can break. In Fielding's " Life of
Jonathan Wild" we are told that on
one occasion the great thief waa playing
cards with a celebrated Count who was
a professional gambler. Such was the
power of long continued habit that Wild
could not keep his hands out of the
pockets of the Count, although he knew
they were empty; neither could the
Count abstain from every once in a
while palming a card, and so winning
the game, thou Kb. he was perfectly aware
that Wild had no money with which to
pay his bets.
3P If we are at peace with God aud
our own conscience, what enemy among
men ueed we frar t
