Cry of His Horse Attracts His Friends.
“Tell you the most-exciting. adventure-of
my lif ” said Lieut. Charles F. Stewart,
formerly of her mamty’s army in the In-
dia service, but now a resident ~fo Birming-
ham, Ala. “Well, I met with quitea num-
ber of more or less thrilling adventures
hunting lions and tigers in the jungles,
but only once did I lose all hope. I slml‘l
never forget that hunt; in fact 'I shudder
every time I think of it. Two other of-
ficers, English visitors in India, and my-
self went into the interior-for a tiger hunt.
We camped near a large jungle, where
tigers were reported by the natives to be
plentiful. We had three servants with us, _
and 1111 addition employed a dozen natives,
several of whom had much experience in
tiger hunting.
”The first day in the jungle we killed a
young tiger, and then we hunted four days
We
would spend the day beating through the
jungle and return to our camp at night.
There was plenty of smaller game, but we
were out for tiger or nothing. The sixth
day out we went into a portion of the jun-
gle where it was not so dense, and we
could make our way on horseback very
well. We kept pretty well together until
noon, but found no game. At noon we
stopped to eat a cold lunch, and, as it was
extremely hot, the othersrof the party‘de—
cided to rest for We hours beforenthey pro-
ceeded.
IN A BAD PBEDICAMENT.
“While the others were restingI mounted '
my horse and rodealone toward a-small
stream a short distance to the right of our
camp. Along the bank the jungle was so
dense that my horseoould not get through.
I turned to go back to camp, but had ad-
vanced only a few steps when my horse
stopped with a loud snort of terror. I
looked ahead, and there, notmore-than 100
feet away, were three of the largest tigers
I ever saw. They were standing still, and
seemed undecided whether 1503th 11s or
to run away. My horse was trembling
with fright and I could not move him for-
ward or backward. I raised my gun to
shoot, then lowered it again, for I realized
that if I killed or crippledone of the beasts
the others wouldbe upon me before I could
fire again.
“The tigers seemed still undecided what
to do, andI shouted at them as hard as I
could, thinking possibly I might frighten
them away. At the sound of my voice the
beasts lashed their tails and began to play
about like huge cats, but all the time they
were advancing toward me. For a few
seconds I was thinking very fast. trying to
decide on some plan of action. I thought
of uiging my horse forward and riding
right. past them as rapidly as posaible. I
buried my spurs in my horse’s sides, but
he would not move. Every moment the
frightful looking beasts werencoming near—
er and nearer.
“Now they were creeping and gliding
through the tall grms, just as a cat creeps
upon a bird. I thought of another plan,
and lost no time in putting it into effect.
Bending forward I removed my feet from
the stirrups, raised myself out of the"
saddle and slipped along the back of the
horse until I dropped to the ground. The
horse was now between me and the tigers,
and if he would only stand still until they
sprang upon him I might beable to escape
unnoticed during the struggle I knew
would follow. My horse seemed paralyzed
with fear, and I began slowly backing
away.
CHASED BY THE BEASTS.
“I had not gone tenfeet when I savrthree
great tawny bodies rise in the air and-come
down on the back and neck of my poor
horse. When the horsefelt the sharp teeth
and claws tearing into his flesh he gave
one long, piteous, .almcst human cry and
then began to struggle for his life. Taking
advantage of this struggle I was getting
away as fast as possible. I saw my horse
go down with the tigers tearing at his
throat and sides, and I knew the struggle
would soon be over. For a moment I felt
I was safe, and turning I started on a run
toward camp. After running a. few steps
I looked back, and, to my horror, saw one
of the tigers coming bounding after me.
His hideous jaws were covered with blood
and his eyes gleaned like balls of fire.
“I turned and raisedimy rifle, but before I
could pull the trigger I saw the other two
tigers leave the deal horse and come
bounding toward me. Then I lost' hope.
Great drops of penspiration rolled down my
face, and my knees were so weak I could
scarcely stand. I determined to risk ashot
at the first tiger anyway, and reduce the
fearful odds I had to contend~ against. I
fired, but my nerves were too weak, and I
missed. At the~sound of the shot all three
of the beasts stopped for a. moment, then
they began creeping forward for aspring.
“I said a prayer of some kind and gave
myself up for lost. It seemed to me I
stood there an age watching those angry
beasts creeping nearer and nearer. My
nerves were about to give way entirely un-
der the terrible strain when I heard a
. noise behind me. A moment later a deaf-
ening volley of rifle shots, and then I sank
to the ground in afa'mt. The cry of my
horse had been heard at the camp, and
half a dozen of the native hunters were
sent out to see if I was in trouble. They
came up just in time, and the well aimed
shots from their heavy rifles killed all
three of the beasts.”—Ehnira Telegram.
About Business Letters.
A business lewer is a. curious specimen
of literary art. Brevity' is its salient feat“
ure—im weakness and its strength at the
same time. One always feels that the man '
who wrote it was terribly pressed for time,
and was overranxiousato economize on paper
and ink. Thesentences are short and snap
py. Fantastic and unauthorized abbrevia-
tions fill it. Personal pronouns are elim-
inated on every occam’on—in fact, sense
and form are inundated on :-the altar-of
brevity—and the result is a. letter which is
as free from padding as a linen handker-
chief.
The portentous “Gents” with which it
is often begun, and trite “Yours truly”
with which it is always concluded are
characteristic of the contents. --, Buffalo
Express.

Treatment of Home.
A London paper prints the following
contributioa calling attention to the seri-
ous consequences 0f ill treating horas:
“Three horsesdied in smooth in a dis-
ble. and the verdict of the veterinary
surgeon in each case was that they died
from inflammation of the bowels. The
fact” that the three were all under the
chameofonegroom ledtoinquiry, and it
w found that the manwas in theinhit
of kickhxgtlnminthe bellyonthem
est pretext. Achange was madeand no
further 1 resulted.
We won how many deaths proceed
each year from kindred causes. When we
see horses that have signs. of breeding
aboutthemrelegated to carts and going
about their work with sprained tendons,
thefeetslippingaroundateachstcp—when‘
we see-cart homes' 1n like predicament—we
are led to ask how many of these and the
like ailments are caused bythe injudicious
use of the whip.
"A spirited horse, driven' 1n eithertrap or
cart by an ignorant groom, is rising a hill.
Without a word of warning the whip de-
scends, a savage lash, and the , poor horse
suddenly Springs forward. If we ask com-
mon sense how often this can occur with-
out inflicting material injury the answer
cannot be far to seek We all know that
there are some horses so sensitive that if
the driver or rider, in a careless moment,
allows simply the weight of the lash to fall
upon them it is followed by a spring and a
wrench, and these cannot continue without
injury, apecially when there is a load be—
hind.
“Coupled with the above, the foolish idea
of inherent vice in a horse, and that it isto
be beaten out in the breaking, we feel that,
taken over-the kingdom, fully one-half of
the utility of our horses‘is destroyed. With
sensible treatment horses might retain use
and vigorous work to nearly double the age
they do now. What, then, must be the
natural loss? Would it not be well for
owners of horses to use more eflort than is
done at present to inculcate among those
having charge of their animals a more
sensible view of their duties A large pro-
portion of accidents with horses are the di~
rect outcdme of brutal treatment.”
The Pulse.
The blood is in a state of constant circa;
lation through the system, propelled by
the heart through the arteries, and re-
turned to the same organ through the
veins. The arterial current conveys ma-
terial for nutriment, heat and force to all
the tissues; the venous current receives the
dead waste of the tissues and conveys it to
the different eliminating organs.
The propulsive action of the heart is due
to its successive contractions. These con-
tractions occur about seventy times a min-
ute in a healthy male adult, more frequent
in women, and much more frequently in
infants and children, being at birth from
one hundred and thirty to one‘ hundred
and forty, gradually sinking to about one
hundred at the sixth year, and to ninety
or eighty-five at the tenth.
The arteries are unlike the veins in that
they share in the beating of the heart; but
the beating of the heart is readily per-
ceived only where an artery passes over a
bone near the surface, or when some in-
flammation of a part causes an enlarge-
ment of an artery and an unusual sensi-
tiveness of the accompanying nerves. In
its normal condition the pulse is most con?
veniently felt at the wrist.
The blood is the natural stimulus of the
heart, and ‘when the poison of disease
changes the character of the blood the ac-
tion of the heart is correspondingly affect-
ed. It is also afiected by organic disorders
of the heart and arteries, by general weak~
ness, by nervous excitements, by the state
of the stomach and by stimulants or de-
pressants of various kinds. Hence, as the
heart beats and the arterial beats accord,
the character of the pulse is of great serv-
ice in determining the patient’s physicial
condition.
It will be seen that in feeling the pulse
age and sex are always to betakeu into ac-
count. Further, one’s pulse when lying
dowu is about five beats slower, and when
sitting about ten beats slower than when
standing—Youth’s Companion.
Troublesome Cracked Silver Coins.
The stamping machines at the govern:
ment mints, embodying as they do all the
best inventions obtainable, yet do not .do
their work with absolute perfection in
every instance. Occasionally a silver dol-
lar' 1s turned out with a trifling defect, and
then the coin generally causes more trou-
ble. many times over, than it is worth.
This imperfection is a slight crack in the
edge of the coin, which is likely to escape
the notice of any ordinary scrutiny, but
like the rift in the lute of which the poet
sings, it makes the dollar’s music mute.
The commonest way to test a silver coin
to find out whether it is a counterfeit or
not is to drOp it on a table or counter. If
it has a clear ring it is supposed to bcgood.
.As a matter of fact, some counterfeit coins
new current, which are made of antimony
and tin, have a sound almostident‘hzl with
that of a real silver dollar. What makes
this test still more uncertain is the fact
that a real silver dollar with the little rift.
soundsasif it were lead when dropped.
The opening destroys its jingle just as a
melodiousness-of a bell. -
Thrce Good Tosh.
There are a great manyeasesintwhich
people dose themselves with medicine
when they should instead “stir arOund,”
to use a homely Yankee phrase. Altogether
too many people live in foul, vitiated sur-
roundings, breathing in with every inspi-
ration the germs of disease. In certain
cases these external conditionscmnot be
changed; in others they might be and
ought to be. But however that may be, a
compound elixir of wonderful eflimcyis
within the reach of almost every person,
without money and without price. Pure
air, sunlight, exercise-those are the in-
gredients, and they are to be had every-
where. Use them, and use them genes
ously. -—-Good Housekeeping.
Why Hair-Turns Gray.
The coloring matterof the hair is con-
tained 1n little pigments atthero'ots of each
spear, which depend upon the general
strength of the system to keep them sup-
plied. Ifonebecomes weak and debilitated
the coloring matter cannot be deposited
fast enough, and the hair gradually loses
its color. Sometimes when health and
strength are returned to the system the
color returns to the hair, for the pigments _
begin the work more rapidly or secreting
the coloring material. If ? they are-killed,
however, nothing can induce them to re--
new their work, and the hair becomes per-
manently gray. —-Ya11kee Blade.
Mind Reading an Actuallty.
It is too late in the day to dispute the
existence of that wonderful faculty of the
human brain .commonly called mind read-
ing. There have been too many exhibi-
tions of it, both public and private, under
conditions which precluded the possibility
of falsehood or deceit to leave its actuafity
an open question.——Hall’s Journal.
