teemed, blaols.muataobed fellow, was evt
dently an Eaglieh officer. Hie companion,
who was a good deal mailer and slighter
than himself, did not look much like either
a fighter or a hunter but the almost ouper•
etitleus reverence paid him by the Iiiedeo
eervaute showed that he must boa great
man in tome way.

There was hazily a corner c f the earth,
however remote or dangerous, into which' he
had, not thrust his little bald head and gold -
rimmed spectacles ; and people who saw
him for the first time, after having heard of
his exploits, were greatly startled to dao,
instead of the big bearded, sun -burned fel-
low whom they cxpeoted, a slender, pile
faced little man, who looked as Jibe would-
be knooked up or knocked down by the first
mishap that befell him.
In the centre ofan open tiptoe just behind
the two picnickers stood a large looking.
glass, which the Professor had, just been nw-
ingin ane of his experiments ; and at' this
the native . attendants were lookinlg and
pointing excitedly, although keeping their
distance from it all the while as carefully
as if it had been a packet of dynamite,
" Sse those fellows 1" laughed Maj tr
'Hampton, as he finished bin second plate of
cold chicken, " I'll he bound they all take
you for a magician cf the very first olaea.
Just now I overheard two of them having a
discussion about what you could be trying
to do. One would have it that you were at
work to discover a buried treasure."
" So I am, ' chuckled the Professor, cut-
ting himself a elide of bread, "'but ft's a
treasure of knowledge, not of money. How-
ever, thio e:an't be n nth fun for you, my
dear Major; and its toe bad of me to keep
you hare all day doing nothing, jest for my
convenience. Couldn't you find a wild
beast ortwo to amuse yourself with while
I'm at work ?'
" No such look," replied Hampton, shak-
ing his head. " This bit along the river
here used to be a famous cover for the big
game ; bat niece they began to cat away
the jungle you can't get a decent tiger here
for love or money."
The words were scarcely uttered when,
' as if on purpose to give the lie to them, the
native servants, who had been erj eying
their long pipes in the cool shade of the
trees that flanked the olearing, euddenly
sprang up and fled in every direction with
shrill orieerror. Mingling with their
outcries oaihe a deep, hoarse roar, which the
hardiest aportamen never hears quite un•
moved—the ory of a hungry tiger on the
track of hie prey,
" Up into that banyan -tree for your life,
Anneroyd 1" shouted Hampton, leaping to
his feet, " for that fellow means business,
and no mistake."
Up flew the Professor as nimbly as a
monkey, and the next instant Major Hamp-
ton was beside him. But even in that mo-
ment of deadly peril the veteran sportsman
had found time to snatch up his double-bar-
relled rifle an ammunition pouch.
Hitherto p Bight of the llindoos and
the fearful sound that accompanied it had
been the only signs of the terrible creature's
presence. But the Major's keen eyes soon
detected a stirring among the bushes, and
then a great flat head and fiery eye gliding
forth from them.
"Isn't he a eplendid fellow ?" whispered
Hampton, as coolly as if he were looking at
the beast through the bars of a cage in a
menagerie. " He seems to be in wait of a
lesson, though, and I'm going to give him
one."
But byy had hardly loaded one barrel of
his rifle livhen he euddonly broke into a fit
of laughter so violent as alined to shake
him off his perch, And well he might.
The tiger was indeed about to get a•lesaon,
but ouch a one as neither he nor hie two
enemies had foreseen iu the least,
The tall mirror wan still standing fn the
middle of the charms., just as the co Ales
(native.porters) had left it ; and the tiger,
coming out right in front of it, saw' (as he
thought) another tiger advancing against
him open-mouthed. His very whiakera
bristled with rage at thie defiance, and with
a -savage growl ho drew baok , for a decisive
spring. But in doing so he moved boyend
the line of refleotion, and inetantly the other
tiger disappeared as if he had never been.
This was evidently something quite new
to the "royal Bengal," He stopped short,
stared blankly around him, dropped hie
tail, and altogether looked so utterly be-
wildered and foolish that the two watchers
almost burst their sides with laughing at
him.
" Well," gasped the Major, "if this
isn't the beat fun I've seen since I came out,
my name's not Dick Hampton,"
Meanwhile the tigeroeemed to have made
up his mind that the puzzle lay in the mys-
terious looking•glass, and that it was hie
duty to examine it more closely. IIe crept
cautiously toward it, and of course the other
Alger reappeared at once. Now for it !
With one tremendous bound ho was close
upon hie en; but the shock of his leap
mirror, and the phantom
tiger vanisher
overturned
le.,), no more.
This second disappearance was quite too
much for the nerves of the " jangle king,"
With a low whine of dismay he turned
sharp round, and was about to make off,
when Maj sr Hampton, who had no notion
of loving his game ao Deadly, levelled his
rifle and fired, The sting of the bullet in
hie fienk changed tbo tiger's fear to fury,
and with a roar like thunder it darted to-
ward the tree whence the shot had coino;
but instantly the second barrel sunt its
charge home, and the rimester rolled over
int* the jungle grass, a harmless heap of
black and yellow fur,

ted, She did not wait to light a lamp, but

Four Noble Dogs.
Four excellent dog stories come to us
by way of our exchanges. One of them
tells of a Georgia dog which was lying in
the yard when a negro girl rushed out of
the house with her areas burnirg. The
dog sprang at the girl and tore away part
of the burning clothing. She broke
away, bot the dog again caught her and
continued bis efforts until all her clothing
was born off. That the girl, though much
burned, still lives is due to thia dog,
whose mouth and foreteeth were badly
burned in his efforts to save her.
Another story le of a good dog owned
in the wicked city of Chicago. His name
!a Blamark. A few nights ago he found
a very young baby that had baen aban-
doued, and stood guard over it, apparent-
ly dividing his attention between efforts
to stop the little one's pitiful wailing and
to attract the attention of persons in a
house near by. He showed great satin•
faction when relieved fro az all responsibil
ity concerning the waif.
The third dog lives in Cincinnati, and
his name is Jumbo. He was sitting on
the sidewalk by his master, a negro, when
a child fell on the track dire:holy in front
of an approaching street car. Before the
car could reach it Jumbo rushed, out and
grabbing the little one's dress palled ie
out of danger, Within six inches of the
wheels.
The fourth story relates to a bird dog
owned by William Goodall, an ex -pugilist
of Youngstown, O. One night last week
Mee. Goodall was sleeping with her two
children, when she was awakened by the
dog barking and pulling' at the bedclothes.
She at once becarne aware that the room
was full of smoke, and rushed out to give
the alarm. While she was gone the dog
'seized the night dress of a little girl of
three, and carried her out of the room.
The other child was rescued without
trouble. Tho bnuse was burned.
Ways •of Stjending Honey.
A young man anxious to be admitted to
a fashionable cligae in one of our large
cities is reported to have precured intro-
duction to twenty young married, women
within the circle, and then to have invit-
ed them to a dinner, which was the most
lavish and costly ever given in this coun-
try
The dainties for each guest, exclusive of
wines, cost over one hundred dollars ; the
room was formed into a bower of the rare
est roses ; the menu for each, lady was
featened to an exquislte fan, worth fifty
dollars. The host allowed these details
of cost to become public.
The day after the dinner, the young
women who had accepted it met, turned
their host into sport, and resolved to
brevet him in future with cool canbempb.
His money was spent, and what had he
gained for it? Nothing bub well deserv-
ed
esert/ed ridicule. The doors which ho had hop-
ed to open with a golden key were still
locked in his face.
A'few rods from the hotel in which
this feast was laid, another young man,
about a century ago, gathered a few of
his comrades, and laying down ten dol -
lava, eakped by hard manual labor, urged
each of them to do the aanie, and they
"might buy some books to supply the
education which had been lacking in their
lives." They purchased a few volnmea
which were kep in an attic room in an
alloy. In time other books were added
and the library grew.
" This was tho mother," days Bigelow,
°'of all the subscription librarian in North
America. It wive soon imitated in other
towns and other provinces The Ameri-
can people became thus acquainted with
books, and in a few years were better 1
etruoted and ,nore intelligent then people;
of the same rank in other countries."
The young man whose outlay of a few
dollars helped and etrengthenocl him
throughout all his work in life, was Ben-
j Milne Franklin, and the work which lb
enabled hien to do was the founding of a
great nation.
E soh of theme lads spread his table, and
invited hit guests, but how different was
the feast, and its resalta,—:,1m, Ea;,

WOMAN SU,F4iAQ .
BY A. R, OAiRHAN, Z. A.
Our humanity ie strong en surface; indi.

mink a shaft loeklog for tons of the bleak
diamond. An idler disoarne a obit of gold -
Oast eparkiing in a, shallow stream, and we
turn the whole mountainside into a siuios*
way starching for the preoloue metal.
So with all popular movements, It re quires
the keen mind of a Napoleon to sift away the
'parlous fron the reel and found .aa empire
on the tumult of a revolution; and even a
Napoleon overestimated' the dieoontent of
Russia and wrecked his fortunes by trusting
them to untried forces. This fault is more
partfoularly marked in agitations strictly of
the people than in those that are controlled
by astute and harmonious leaders, The
maltase,
far too buoy
for careful and
abstru
ere
study, um readily to nenolu
el os from,
times, nue moot trivial of surface Indica-
tions." The striking Knights of Leber,
ignoring the counsel of their leaders, fancied
that the !introduction of force would be to
their advantage, but they Sailed to calculate
upon the calling out of the militia.
So our great hearted tainperanoe reform -
ere, ever anxlouely pressing ouward, are apt
to follow with incautious eager nest, sparkling
will -o' the -wisps that seam to promlee a
ehort.cut to eu000ss, but too often lead to
the quick sande of failure. At one time
Massaohusetts rejoiced in a practical prohibi-
tion, but it was iffioult to enforce, The
ory wan reread : Let us exolude beer and
light wines from the operations of our law,all
drinken will be content with them and h will
be then ns trouble to stop the oonsumption
of strong spirits. The Prohibitionists eager-
ly caught at this seeming panacea for the
weaknesses of their Aot, but found when too
late that beer drinking vas but an alluring
mask for the most beatlal of drunkenness.
Similarly delusive, I cannot but think,
will our friends find the present movement•,
for woman suffrage. They claim, with an ap-
parent show of reason, that by enfranohia-
ingthe women, a etreng Prohibitory Aot
could be carried with a sweeping majority
throughout the country. This is a mere
supposition, based upon the faot that a
majority of the women who have spoken
out upon this question have favored Pro-
hibition. The natural shrinking that ten-
der woman would have from braving public
opinion as to what she ought to do, and
flaunting before the world her alliance with
whlekey and drunkenness, must not be lost
eight of. Her's would be a eilent vote.
And those of us who have to do with actual
temperance work know that in too many
instances the avaricious woman exercises a
silent but potent influence against reform
and right. But grant,for rake of argument,
that the woman -vote would be oast solidly
for temperance and moral reform—some
thing the most ardent advocate of woman
franchise would never olaim—why should
this be so ? Because woman is a stronger-
minded advocate of right than man ? No.
Became her moral convictions are of tougher
fiber than her husband's. No, they are
more easily swayed. Simplybtoauee her's
is an unselfish vote, unmoved by party as-
sociations and not vitiated by a thirst for
off:oo,
Bat have we any guarantee that when
the woman vote is once fairly in the
political field, that it will not be bought
and bribed and corrupted until it surpass
even the suffrages of men in debasing infln-
enoe. Is woman more proof against temp-
tation than man, that she should stand un-
shaken whore he has fallen ? We have been
aoouetomed to speak of them as the " weak-
er vessels," and surely we will not expect
them to stand a strain with which the
sterner six have been utterly unable to
cope. "But," says one, " she will not be
such a diligent officer -seeker or keep out
so restless au eye for the loaves and Sallee
Another supposition, my friend, and a
very wild one. If woman has a right to
vote, she has a right to be voted for, i. e,, to
hold (ffiee and draw a stipend. And has
it struck you that she is without ambition,,
content to be a hewer of wood and
a drawer of water for the lends of
creation ? I trow not, See has shown
a determination to take every inch
offered her and is ever struggling for posi-
tions higher and mere responsible. At the
risk of being deemed ungallant, I would
venture to say that her vote would
be less reliable than man's because mare
easily prejudiced. Women boast that upon
short notice they are more acour:te than
men, because they move by instinct, while
stupid man trusts to hasty, and hence un-
reliable, reasoning; and their boast is not
far astray, So upon any great question,
looming up gradually .above the horizon
of thought, women rest upon that mixture
of prejudice and impulse that mho delights
to term "her inetinot," while man safely
and surely reasons from known premises to
legitimate conclusions. That the nisjir
premise is very often "self ' dorm rot destroy
this fact,
But the roost destructive effect of granting
the french/8e to women would, be seen in our
hon;ee, The home is the cradle of moral
reform, the fountain whence the pure waters
of'oleansing flew; and any movement that
,tire that fountain to muddy impurity blasts
the future of the race. A homeleee France
is infidel, licentious and abandoned ; while
the safety of Britain rests in the sanctity of
her hc:mss. This is not a question for duly
collated statistics or cold logic. Everyone
must go to hie own home and, standing by
her moot sacred shrine, lat'his heart and his
truer ;manhood What a hale of love
and tender respect mete about the names of
"mother," tt paster " and "wife!" In the
saaotnary ofycur home they seem to embody
all that is pare and gentle and nnoiflsh in
thle world of oroas-ourrents and greedy,
grasping avarice, O.rtside, it. is fret an
drag' in a sordid at n x ri d
r ogle for eiatenoe, dol -
tars and oeute, bargain and dioker, all day
long ; inside, it le rest and oslm, a higher
world that at times eeonrs nigh onto the
greet rest of eternity.
Will you tear down the bulwarks and let
the clattering world rush in ?
Man to -day reeeivee We greatest impulses
toward' right at his own firovide whenpbuel-
nese and money making have warped hid
nature and dried up his life, the uet is
dieaolved amici the associations of home and
he is sent forth with generous readiness, to
dare and to do for ooneofenoe and truth.
The home makes the man ; without it he
hecomee aekllful, calculating machine, good
to makechange and
grasp
at honors,
.
And this woman franchise movement will
sorely destroy the sheltered haven of the
home, and dry up the very souroe of all
moral reform. It is not merely the deposit•
lag of a ballot paper, but it thrower back the
broad doors of political life and invites all
women to enter. Then with the wivee upon
the hustings and the mothers at the coauoil
beanie, all sweating with the vituperation
sad brute struggle for politital , flue; what
becomes of the calm, soothing infiaence of
our fireside 1 This is no fanciful picture,
woman has never yet refused a fancied ad•
vance, and she never will. Would to Gad
she could wee that with one hand on the
oradle and the other on the heart of her hus-
band, she ie the mightiest factor in the
world to -day 1
But enough for the selfish nide of this
question. In another letter will be consider-
ed the utterances of the Btbleand the Bible's
great Anther, 1 have nothing but the
highest praise for theChrietianAssolatione,
Temperance Unions, Missionary Saoletiea
and kindred organizations founded and
onntrolled by women. They are there doing
their proper work, and laboring grandly
in their God-given sphere. But it behooves
all temperance workers, men and women, to
be very careful how they trust all to even
such dazzling " surface -indications."
THAT SNAKE STORY.
Further Particulars about the Young
Alan who Cara fed a Snake Around
with him,
A Grand Falls, Me., despatch gives the
following additional particulars of the case
of D avid Ferguson, who had a snake Inside
of him :
Yesterday afternoon he began coughing
violently. He had grown purple in the face,
when a snake's head suddenly darted out of
hie month. Ferguson saw the snake but a
moment, and then fell fainting to the floor.
His sister Rebecca came in, and when he
recovered he told her what had happened.
She asked him to cough again, and said if
the snake showed his head she would seize
it and pull the reptile out. Ferguson there-
upon coughed two or throe minutes. Re-
becca stood up in froat of him with her
hands upheld. Suddenly the snake's head
appeared with such a hiss that Rebecca
jumped away. David told her not to be
afraid, but to grab sure next time. Rebec-
ca wrapped a towel around her right hand
and steed ready. Ons more coughing spell,
and the snake's head darted out. Rebecca
made a lunge at it and naught its head in the
towel. Then she quickly wound it round
her hand and gave a jerk, Out came three
feet of a snake, and around its toile pieoe
of flash from j eat below the throat, into
which the snake had grown. A blood ves-
sel was ruptured and Ferguson bled to death
in a short time. Lical doctors think tee
snake must have been swallowed by Fergu-
son while drinking water in the dark dur-
ing some of his deer -stalking expeditions.

The Crrrier•Pigeoc.
The carrier, the acknowledged king of
pigeons, has In ate name the source of a
great annoyance to its sensitive fancier.
He admits fer it an anoeetry dating back
to the mees:tge=bearers of Persian kings and
Tnrkiah sultana, and that the peculiarities
of structure -the prominent wing -butte, the
great muscular development which gives
the full -rounded breast, the wing best
adapted to speedy and long continued
flight, and the protruding eyeball peculiar
to the traveling bird, all points he values
for their part in the perfect symmetry—that
these wore all fixed is its day of naefnlness
as the courier of royalty. Bat he is oare-
ful to explain that he has counted out all
useful qualities and premiere' values in the
bird of to -day ; that the points he valnea
highest are those of development of growth
to perfect which his bird is oarefully se-
cluded from the deteriorating itflaences of
tun and outdoor air ; that the name is only
applicable to it for its elegant carriage, one
ref its most valued end to be remarked
proportiee ; that it is only the ignorant who
could confound the grand high class bird
with that little shapeless measage-bearer,
the homing pigeon.
The carrier has always been held in the
highest esteem in Ragland, Moore, writ-
ing in 1735 tells of a fancier in Bishopsgate
street who kept a silver hatchet and block
with which, to chop off the heads of those
condemmed to death, "that being of the
blood royal they ought not to die after the
manner of the common herd."

scheme into praotioe hue recently passed
both Houses, of the. I,egialetare.
The bill says that • the;company le formed
for the purpose of constructing, maintaining.
and animating, in oonneetioq with the Niag-
ara River, a hydraulic+ tunnel, er subte'rran-
cap sewer, for the pubiio <use ef, sewerage
and ,drainage and foe furniahing hydraulic
power for manufaoeuring purposes in the
town of Niagara. The capital Moak is to ba
$200 000 at firat, with the right of Increase
to $3,000,0l0.
The plan
Ba f
r a m le one. P A great at t e
or shaft is to be out through the re k o ose
by and parallel with the Niagara River, 160
feet deep and running half a mile or more
bank from the falls, The open end of this
little shaft or tunnel is to empty out of the
rook at the fella a faot or two above the
level of the water below the caeoade.
Whenever a company wants water power
it may sink a vertical shaft from the outface
a'mowt down to Cale horizontal abaft. In the
bottom of this vertical shaft a turbine wheel
is to be placed, and below this a smaller
shaft, fora tail race, will carry the water
from the wheel to the great horizontal shaft,
which will then work as a waste pipe to
carry off the water In order to get the
needed water to drive the wheel It will only
be neoeaeary to build cut a short pier on
the river shore to catch the edge of the
swiftly flowing current and divert a little
of it, by means of a ditch or p'ps, Into the
vertical shaft, and eo past the wheel and
through the great.eubterranean shaft and
back into the river again below the falls.
These vertical shafts are to be, big enough
to admit one or two of the workmen, who
moat place the turbine in position and after-
ward attend to It. It is said that a wheel as
big as a man's hat will supply 200, horse
power, though this was said, carelasely by
the 'reporter 'a informant, who acknowledged
uncertainty as to the precise amount.
The plan is to sell to mannfacturiog nor_
poratione the right to Bink shafts as oloae
together as practicable along the line of the
great a ante shaft. A glorione suoeeso is
prophesied for the oompany. It is meld that
cheap,` steady, reliable power le so great an
item iia manufactures that a committee of
Conneoticut mill owners declared that it
would pay them to remove their mills and
factories to the town of Niagara. Freabeta,
droughts, and lee play misunief with those
interests that depend on . water . power
throughout New Eogland, but no such an-
noyatce, it is said, attends the use of Niag-
ara water power. The Niagara never freezes,
never overflows, and never runs dry.

A blind man eat beside his hand organ.
He raised his sightless eyes and appeared to
be waiting the s,rrlval of some one, as his
remaining acnees told him that a storm was
brewing.
A small bootblack came round the corner.
His trousers, being too song, were rolled up
at the bottom. His coat was Mao made for
a boy of larger frame, he etuok his thumbs
ander his dilapidated anependere andrelieve-
ed himaolf of n mouthful of tobacco, Catch-
ing sight of the blind man, whose evident
anxiety was piotured on his fac 3, he ceased
his swaggering gait and brought, bimeelf to
a atandatill.
"Io that you Willie?" queried the blind
man.
" My name ain't Willie," replied the
street Arab.
"Can't yon take me home? I'm 'fraid
it's going to rain and Willie is late," contin-
ued the organ grinder, getting ready to
move at once.

Hain't you made nothing to -day 1" continu-
ed the boy as he saw the man take two

and desposit them in hie pocket. " Only
made them two? Well, just wait a holy
minit, till I call the kid."

The latter explained, and in a jiffy the two
boys were out with caps in hand begging for

ferent sides of the street and stopped every
pedeotrian, man and woman, and asked for
a nickel to help the blind man.

to their blind charge, and having escorted
him to a neighboring store for shelter, turn-

inquiring the cause of his dietrese, was told
that, having come a long distanoe, he had
lost the rent on the way, but if agreeable
to them he would go back and look for it.
A few days after he appeared with the lost
money. The duchess asked him where he
found it. and was answered in the following
rather singular manner :
•" Well, you see, on my way I stopped at
the Benrigh stables to speak to a friend. I
took out my pocketbook to gie him a letter
and must have dropped the money, for this
is hoo I found it. Supposing his grace was
the stables and your grace the manure an' I
was the re..t Weel, you roe—"
" Yes, yes," interrupted her graoe, quick-
ly ; " that will do. I perfectly understand
the whole affair."
