A Man’s Narrow Escape From Furnishing
3 Square Meal.
the tigcr’s onslaught; he recovered
consciousness, however, in a few min-s
utes, when he found himself lying on
the tiger’s back and in full sail toward
the heart of the jungle.
Fortunately, he was not seriously hurt,
as the tiger had gripped him by the arm
just above the elbow. There he lay quite
helpless; what was he to do? Any'
movement on his part might have made
his condition far worse; so he lay per-
fectly quiet, and shut his eyes as if he
were dead. ,Soon the tiger arrived at
his den, which was no more than a hol-
low scooped in the sand at the foot of
a large tree. There the tiger deposited
him and covered him over loosely with
some sand. Luckily for him his face
wise he would have had no other alter-
native between death by suffocation.
and death from the tiger if he had
dared to move. As it was, he could
manage to breathe gently, and even to
have an occasional glimpse under his
eyelids.
After this operation of partial burial
the tiger ran ahead a few yards, but re-
turned instantly, as if he had some
misgivings in his mind. Seeing, how-
ever, all safe, he bounded forth, but
again returned to make assurance dou-
bly sure. He kept up this method of
self persuasion for a few times, till,
feeling quite certain about the matter,
he finally went away on his mission.
After waiting a few minutes to see
that the tiger had really gone, our shi-
kari sprang up and climbed the tree
just over the den, and hid h-imself'well
among the} leaves. He had not long to
wait for the denouemcnt, for the tiger
soon returned, accompanied by a ti-
gress and a couple of cubs. (like a gen-
erous and exemplary husband and
father, the tiger evidently scorning to
eat on the sly). -'
They came along with many a joy-
ful catlike gambol in anticipation of
the great feast, and found the den—
' emptyl- Such a lamentation over the
.;lost dinner then arose as was never
heard before in the whole animal king-
dom; in fact, the tigers persisted so
long in their piteous cries, that our
shikari began to have some doubts as
to the righteousness of defrauding the
poor creatures of their hard-earned
wages; but he was prevented from of-
fering himself to them in a moment of
mnguided magnanimity by the thought
of his own wife and children, whose
claim upon him was obviously higher.

PROFESSOR CAM ERON’S HAT.
Mischievious Students Convert It Into
Buttonhole Bouquets.
lessor of the Greek language and lit-
erature at Princeton University for a
great many years, and like many of his
vocation, is a. man of marked peculiar-
ities. One of his eccentricities.is .to
wear an old plaid shawl over his shoul-
ders, summer and winter, and a hat of
unique pattern. It has always been a
mystery where Prof. Cameron gets his
hats. No dealer in the latitude and
longitude of Princeton keeps them in
stock, and there is a tradition among
the students that the pmfessor pur-
chased a quantity many years ago and
alwayshas a supply to draw from when
he needs one.
As long as any one can remember it
has been the practice of each class dur-
ing the second term of the sophomore
year to steal Prof. Cameron’s hat and
cut it up into little square pieces, which
are distributed among the students and
worn by them in the buttonholes of the
lapels of their coats like badges
or bouquets. The professor ex-
pects it and takes it good—naturedly.
He makes no particular effort to pro-
tect his property, but one day in each
year—and it is often the coldest of the
winter—he is compelled to go home
from recitation bareheaded or wrap his‘
old gray shawl around his old gray
head. The next morning, if the pro-
fessor takes the trouble to glance
around the class room, he can identify
the fragments of his hat pinned to the
coats of his pupils, but the trick is so
old and the professor is so accustomed
to it that he treats it with indifference.
The Power of His Eye.
It has been told of Van Amburgh,
the great lion tamer, that on one occa-
sion when in a barcroom he was asked
how he gained his wonderful power
over animals. He said:
“It is by showing them that I am
not in the least afraid of them, and by
keeping my eye steadily on theirs. I’ll
give you an example of the power of
my eye. You see that fellow? He’s a.
regular clown. I’ll make him come
across the room to me, and I won’t say
one word to him.”
Sitting down, he fixed his keen,
steady eye on the man. Presently the
fellow straightened himself up, rose
from his seat and came slowly across
to the lion tamer. When he was close
enough he drew back his arm and
struck Van Amburgh a tremendous
blow cser the chin, knocking him clean
over the chair, with the remark:
“You’ll stare at me like that again,
won’t you!”——Golden Days.
How He Knew.
é “Begorra, an" it’s har-rd to colllct
noney these days.” “Is you bin tryin’
to c’lect some, Mr. Murphy?” “Divil a
:int; but there’s a plinty tryin’ to col-
iict from me.”—Truth.
“Now, Thomas,” oald a. certain Bish-
op, after taking his servant to task
one morning, “who is it that sees all
we do, and hears all we say, and knows
all we think, and who regards eve-n me
in my Bishop’s robes as but _a vile
worm of the dust?" And . 1 '

A lovely waist of pale blue taffeta, is
made to be worn over a gulmp of white
liberty silk. The edges of the corsage
are outlined with fine white insertion,
which also forms tho cuffs on the plain
sleeves. The collar is soft liberty silk
over collar band of blue silk, tying in a
jaunty bow beneath the chin. _‘
The hat that accompanies this gown
is a lovely affair of yellow satin straw,
slightly tilted over the face and turned
up at the back. A bow of black velvet
is placed directly in the front while
masses of black and white violets
adorn the back. ’
Shoes that were Meant to Hurt.
The young :man entered the boot-
maker’s establishment hastily, after
having glanced cautiously round to see
that no one was about. He hurried
past the assistant to the farther end
of the shOp, where he produced a
small brown paper parcel from under
his coat.
, “See these slippers?" he asked.

“I
“But—er, h’ml—these are very' old ,
slippers, very much worn,” objected
the'man. ‘ “They will hardly stand
heellng." '
“I only want them for one occa-
sion,” replied the young man. “Only
for a minute or two. But I want a
good solid pair of heels, hard leather.”
"They ‘will hardly be a creditable
pair," continued the assistant, "even
if you only wear them for a few min--
utes. . Certainly a cheap new pair
would be—” .
' “I’m not going to spend money on a
new pair for that," said the owner,
doggedly. "I want some good, thick,
big, hard heels on these—you can make
them of iron, or stone, or anything you
like, so long as they are hard.” ,
The man stared at him, in doubt
whether his customer was in full pos-
session of his senses.
“You'don’t catch on,” said the cus-
tomer, looking round the shop and .
speaking in a. low voice. “I’ll tell you
what I want ’em for. I was courting
a .pretty girl, and Black cut me out.
They are to be married to-morrow,
and I’m going to throw a pair of old
slippers at him—for luck, you know-—
and if I don’t give him something to
remember his wedding day by, you can
set me down as a heathen Chlnee."
when He Fell In Love. .
"Joseph,” said Mrs. Hunkerly, "I
want you to tell me truly when you
first began to love me.”
“It was at the ball the Upperton’s
gave,” hereplied.
“Ah, yes,” she sighed. “I remem‘
her it well. What a fine time we had
there! How lovely the music seemed
as we floated round, and how delightful
everything in the world seemed to'be. A
Do you know that I flrstbegan to real-
ly and truly love you that same night.”
"I thought you did, darling,” he an-
swered.
“Yes,” she went on, "I couldn't help
thinking how much handsomer you were
than any of the the other men, and
how noble you seemed. Tell me, dear-
est, what you remember best about
me as I appeared that night. Was it
the dress I wore that made you fall
in love with me, or did'you happen
to discover then that I was beautiful?"
“I don’t remember what kind of a
dress you had on,” he answered, “and
I had discovered long before that you
were beautiful. But you were so
hoarse that night that you couldn’t
talk."
Jules Verne’s Life."
The great romancer, Jules Verne, is
nearly seventyyears of age, but enjoys
robust health and spirits, living on a.
diet of eggsand herbs in Amiens,
He has written six books
more than he is years old. His habit
is to rise early and write till eleven
o’clock. After luncheon, he goes to a.
library, where he reads all the news-
papers. He declares that the hardest
work he ever does is the‘ reading up
of travels in order to write his won-
derful stories, for, strange to say, he
has himself traveled but little.
