The recent death of the Duke of Devonshire drawa attention to his niegoificent collection of pictures and drawings. The finest examples have /been frequently exhibited, and more than one attribution has been ques- tioned, the meet importapt.beini the "Consecretion of Thomas a Rec et,' ascribed to Jau Van Eyek, which is said to have been given to Henry V. (it should be Henry VI.) by his uncle. John, Duke of Bedford, Regent of rrance. This story is incorreet, for the Duke of Bedford died in 1430, end there is distinct proof that the pic- ture in its present state was not paint, el leder° that date.

Marks also declares that there is no reason to suppose that the Chatsworth painting represents the enthronement of Thomas a Heckel. The picture is now generally supposed to be from the bilisit et Uri Gossart, who was born about 1470.

The collection likewise contains a mag- nificent portrait of "Richard Boyle, first- Earl of Burlington," by Vandyck, and the two hundred drawings in bis- tre touched with white of the "Liber Veritatie;" made by Claude as a re- cord, perhaps , incomrilete, of his pie - tures and their destinetion. • This valuable volume was bequeathed by the great attist to an adopted daugh- ter, "Mia Zitelle,". for life, it alter - wards to remain in his family as an heirloom. Cardinal d'Estrees tried to induce the painter's grandsons to part with it, but they would not sell it at any price, Their -successors, however, less scrupulous. sold it for 200 crowns to a jeweler, who disposed of it in Holland, and since about 1770 this precious book has teen the property of the Dukes of Devonshire. It was the published plates of this work on which Turner founded his "Liber Studiorurn." In 1806 Mr. W. F. Wells suggested to the artist that he should Produce such a volume. After long and continued persuasion. says Miss Wells, Turner. at list geve way, and one daft, when he was stay- ing with the family in Kent, he said: "Well, Gaffer, I see there will be na peaee till I comply, se give me a piece of paper.

THE MAHRATTA METRO. Queer, Devices by Which Some Debts Are Collected In India. Many queer stories are told of the persistence and clever devices of the collectors of bad debts, but even a Professional humorist would find it bard to invent anything more absurd than the method actually in use among the Mahrattaa-at least if trav- • elers' tales are to be trusted. • . In that country, so they say, when a creditor cannot get his Money and ,begins to regard the debt as desperate .heproceeds to sit "dhurna" upon his 'debtor -that is, he squats &mu at -the door of his victim's tent and there- by in some mysterious way becomes master of the situation.

MON AT itikitri Fight to the Death Between A Olsen and a Pair of Theme On a hunting trip in India C. de Orespigny witnessed a remarkable fight to the „death between a mighty bison and a pair •of bengal tigers, of which he tells' in Outing.

A. fortnight passed before the fresh ap- pearance of the tracks int./heated that they were not far from the huge ant. mat, when one of the trackers deseover- ed they were not the only hunters on this quest. The traelcs of a couple of tigers followed those of the bison. There was the more inkwell* in the search as. the huge animal was not alone, . everywhere the tracks had made evident that be was accompan- ied by his mate and her two calves. It was well towarda,the close of the day when from the vantage ground of a slight rise the human huntent at ylaasrtdssaowil.their prey about a hundred Before I could make up my mind whether I should interfere or not, the fight had begun. -and• -1 gated, spell -bound. One, the tigress, • as .1 subsequently found out, had .stealth- ilY wormed her way round behind the bull, while the tiger remained facing lun. Suddenly a yellow streak flashed through the air from behind, and the tigress landed fair and 'square on the bull's neck, and her clews tear- ing cruet slashes alone his sides. As the bull, taken entirely by surprise, involuntarily threw back his head, the tigekjaciiig him sprang for his threat, and seemed to get home despite the quickly lowered horns, for his fore paws were round the bull's neck, his fangs apparently in his throat, Whilst his hind claws were tearing hischest to ribbons. The attack, ably ooneeiv- ed and skillfully carried out, appear- ed to lee entirely successful. In vain the poor brute rushed through the undergrowth ' shaking himself, and toiled here and there trying to dis- lodge the monstrous clinging eats; all his efforts seemed unavailing, and the blood was soon pouring down hie lacerated chest and sides. My rifle was again at ray shoulder, for I. could not let rnr old friend be butchered in this cold-blooded way, and the end seemed imminent. The indignant snorts had turned to labored breaths and than to moans, twice he was down on his knees, and twice he struggled again to Ins feet: Round and round he blundered, pushing up. against the trees and doing all he knew, but the tigers' deadly grip nev- er relaxed.. • - Suddenly the huge brute was down on his knees for the third time. Sure- ly it was all over now and this VMS the end No! it was his last card and he played it well.

The bull ran in, 'butting and tossing the inani- mate forth, mini at length satisfied he stood vietoeloes; but it was a sore - wounded and exhausted victor with lolling tongue and heavy, blood-stain- ed sides. Slowly and timidly the cow and calves joined him the calve e press- ing up close against their mother's flanks as if they had been glued there; and it was a touching sight to see he' • licking his wounds.
