Only the Brute's Head Showed Above the Wetter, and the Well Placed Bul- let, •Fired From an Elephant, Entered the Nostril and Broke lels Nock. An interesting' account of a tiger hunt is given by one who had a wide experience in hunting this tnost clan. Walls of beasts. Mounted upon ele- phants, the writer and bis companions' had been beating the jungle without making a find uetil, as they Were about to give up the search, a sudden disturbance among the elephants ap- peared to betoken a tiger near at hand. Giving directions to the others as to the order a marching their ele- phants, the writer ordered his ant - %out to turn into the thick feathered foliage to the left in search of a pool of water which he remembered to be there. There was a slight descent to a long but narrow hollow about fifty or sixty yards wide. This was filled with clear water for an unknown length. I was just about to .make a remark when, instead of speaking. I gently grasped the mahout by the head as I leaned over the howdah and by this signal stopped the elephant. ' There, was a remarkable sight., About 120 yards distant on my right tbe head and neck of a large tiger. clean and beautiful, reposed above the surface of the water, while the body was cooling, concealed from view. Here was our friend enjoying his quiet batb., while we had been pound- ing away up and down the jungles which he had left. "Fire at him." whispered the ma- hout. "or you will lose him: He wUl tee us and be off." "Hold your.' tongue!" I answered. "He can't see us, for the sun is at our back and is shining in his eyes. See how green they' are." At thin moment the tiger quietly Tose from his bath and sat up on end like a dog. I never saw such a sight. His head was beautiful. and the eyes shone like two green electric lights as' the sun's rays reflected from them, but his huge body was dripping with • muddy water, as he had been reclin- ing upon the alluvial bottom. For .quite a minute the tiger sat up In, the same position. At last, as if satisfied that he was in safety and se elusion, he once more lay down with only the head and neck exposed above the surfate. -Back the elephant. gently. but do not turn around," I whispered. Im- mediately the elephant backed through the feathery tamarisk . without the slightest sound, and we. found our- selves outsidethe jungle. We could breathe freely. -"Go on, now, quite gently till I press your head, then turn to the right, de- scending through the tamarisk till I again touch your turban.", I counted the elephant's paces as she moved softly parallel with the jungle until I felt sure of my distance. A slight pressure upon the mahout's head. and' the elephaut tented to the. right. The waving plumes of the dark. green tamarisk divided as we gently moved forward, and in another mo- ment we stepped. There was. the tiger In. the same position, exactly facing . me, but now about seventy-five paces distant. "Xeep .the elephant quite 'steady," I whispered, and, sitting down upon the .howdah seat, I took a rest with the rine upon the front bar of the gun rack. A piece of tamarisk kept wav- ing in the wind just In front of the rifle beyond lriliy reach. The mahout . leaned forward and gently bent it down. Now all was clear. The tiger's ,eyes were like green. glass. .The ele- phant for a moment stood like stone. I touehed thelrigger. There was no response to the loud re- port of six drams of powder from the "five -seven -Seven" rifle, no splash in • the unbroken surface of the water. The tiger's head was still there. but in a different attitude, oneehalf below the. surface and only one cheek and One large eye still glittering like an emerald above. Upon examination it proved that there was no hole whatever in that tiger, the bullet having Mitered the nostril, broken tbe nee': and run along the body. The animal consequently had never moved. . This tiger when *laid out straight, but without being pulled to increase its length, trieesured exactly nine feet and eight Inches from nose to Mit—, Youth's Companion. His Last Request. Charles Dickens used to relate an anecdote of the last moments of Faun- tleroy0 the great banker, hanged for forgery in 1824. His elegant dinners had always been followed by some re- markable and matchless curacao, the source of which he kept a deep secret. Three of his boon companions bad an interview with him In the condemned cell the day before his execution. They were about to retire when tbe most Impressive of the three stepped back and said: "Fauntleroy, you stand on the verge of the' grave.

It is possible that the butcher bird's "curious and cruel habit" of impaling carious creatures upon hedge thorn Is his way of supporting his wife 'during her period of seclusion. Of many see-. des the female is fed by the male on the nest, but tbe butcher bird's prey consists' often of creatures which are too large to be eaten at a mouthful. Even if the male could always drag these carcasses to the nest it is obvi- ous that the female could not eat them there. ea the "larder" may have been hit upon as a happy device to get over the difficulty, the female flitting thith- er to help herself whenever she is hun- gry.—Country Life.

Chevalier, the well itaeWn artist who aecompanied the late Duke of Edinburgh on many of his travels, was once goNg from Dunedin to Lyt- telton, New Zealand, by steamer. Aux. bus to catch the earliest frIliMPee of the coast. he Wept OD deck at (WWII and was alarmed to see that the vele eel was heeding dr:light on to the land. Calling the officer's attention to the feet, be waslold that it waa only a fog bank. The artist malutaineci Ole point, but the frecond officer looked and confirmed bis mate. The artist the said. "Well; gentle- men, I will back my artist's eye against your sailor's eye. and 1 say. that what you mistake for a fog bank is a low range of hills, and there is a range of Mountainappearing above them." • But he wag only laughed at until the captain. coming on (leek, found in the growing light that the artist was right and the seatnen wrong. The reeled was out of its course, and there was only just time to avert disaster. The heinisman was dismissed in dis- grace and the coarse given to a new steersman, but the vessel's bead still pointed landward—the compass was all wrong. The cause was discovered later. A commercial traveler had brought a hos of magnets on board and deposited them ID a stern Cabin. causing what ;night have been a fatal deflection of the compass. TO return to the question of inter- pretation. the artist was dealing with the appearances which bis eye was trained to see and bis mind to inter- pret. A speck OD the horizon might have retnained a mere speck to him long after the sailors had interpreted the speck IWO a vessel of definite rig. There can be little doubt that the trained eye is accompanied by a sort of mental seeing—an instinct outrun- ning optics. . , Poor Consolation....... -- Mrs. Benham—You -have torn my train!
