The Scottish concert givon on Thursday evening last under thn auspices o' tlie Willing Workers of St. Andrew's Church, was a huge success, the Opoia House being crowded to the doors. The programme was a splendid 'one reflecting great credit upon those who were instiumental in its production The Willing Workers, who were very prettily dressed in whito wilh tartan shawls drooping gracefully from their shoulders and glengan ies set jauntilv upon their heads, opened the concert by singing \"The Hielupdman's Toast.\" Altneda. and Robert Armstrong, in an instrumental, caught tlie popular taste with some flue old Scottish leels and strathspeys. Miss Edna Bruce acquitted herself creditably in her rendering of \"Hame cam our Goodman r������t E'en,\" and wtCs obliged to respond to an encore. Mrs. Creelman in her singing of \"Caller Herrin,\" must have touched, some hidden-chord Jn the hearts of ''her audience for they applauded enthusiastically untii~she reappeared to sing \"Bonnie Dundee.\" Mr. Humphreys, the 'old Revelstoke favorite, kindly took the place of Mr. Gilleland who was indisposed through cold, and snug \"The1! March of the Cameion Men,\" responding to ari-encore with \"The Dear Homeland.\" After an interval of five minutes Mr. Alfonso De Feo reopened the concert hy a pianoforte solo which seemed to be much appreciated. Mr. Murray, dressed in Highland costume, danced the Highland Fling and Sword Dance to the intense\" satisfaction of those present. McKenzie's playing of the pipes called forth tremendous applaiibe and Mut tay was' not allowed to retire till he had danced himself tired. \"Jock o' \"Hazledean was splendidly sung by Mrs. McFayden. ��������� This was Mrs. Mc- Fayden's first appeal ance befoi e a Revelstoke audience and she won her way.

P. R. ring,\" he replied, \"though Mr. Greer's \"attitude seems to be more pronounced than that of Mr. Bosworth, fourth vice-president of tbe O. P. R., whose despatch, as published iri The World, was much more temperate in tone. -The chief feature of it is its fiat contradiction of what Mr. Greer said himself on Thursday last at the meeting of the shippers, when he declared that it - would be very discourteous to interfere in the freight rates until the railway commission had been heard from. The C. P. R. hus refused to reply \"to us until the commission is heard from but, according to Mr. Greer, it is quite likely to change the B. O rates entirely, to suit itself, without waiting for the commisbion at all. However, we have not by any means exhausted our resources and we may play a .card that will trump any such lead by the company.���������Vancouver WorW.

Now go.\" Mr. Georgo Canham, with ruffled dignity, seemed prepared for argument, but Mr. Marlow inserted liis hand down the back of his collar, lifted him to the door, and thrust him, not too gently, into the hall. For all Joyce's brave words before George Canham, it must not bo thought that she did not suiter. She hnd loved him with all the passion of a first affection, nnd his sudden appearance in his true colors wounded her deeply, hut\"for nil that she put on n brave face befoi'o hor father. The next few weeks were full of anxiety and worry; everything had gone in the crush and ihe house, in ISerkley Square was sold up. Thon an offer of employment came to Mr. Marlow. \"Joyce, my dear, J have hnd tin offer to go out to Australia prospecting for gold. _t is a good chance and I think I must take it. The lifo would be too rough for you, so 1 think you hud better go to your aunt's place nt Little Willoway and stav until I enn .end for you. .She writes that she will bo glnd to havo you, and T think it will lie better, if you take her name for n time.\" After further conversation, so it wns settled. John Marlow sailed for Australia nnd Joyce found herself established -with Mrs\". Hit-field, her widowed aunt, nt Little Willowny. I.Irs. Birficld, afthotigh fairly well ofi, had found time hanging heavily on hcr hands, nnd being of an energetic nature sought lo make it fly morc rapidly by opening a small general shop, to whiclv in duo course thc post-oflicc was added: and it was something of an event in the villajM! whon Joyce Marlow came to assist in its management. She did not care very much for her occupation, it is true, but it kept her from thinking. Tho Frincipul landowner round Lit- aro tho only ono in the world I enro about, except my father.\" \"Then why \" \"1 will tell you. A fow months ago wo were very rich, and then misfortuno overtook us and my father failed. I have resolved never to marry until all his liabilities are paid off and our fortune is rebuilt.'* \"But whero is your father? I have more mono;/ than T know what. to do with.

With a lniiph of joy ho took her lu his onus and sealed the compact with a lover's kiss. As the time went on Godfrey Reid and his sister made preparations for their usual stay in London during tho season, and wished Joyce to ac- compnny lhem, but this she declined to do. \"I do not wish to seo London again until my father returns, and 1 shall be much happier here looking after the house and tho servants, if you will allow me.\" To Godfrey, of course, hcr slightest wish was law, and 'ho left her at Little Willoway, reserving to himself the right to run down and sec her occasionally. So Godfrey and Muriel .throw themselves into the gaieties of the London season, and were soon sur- rounded-'by a number, of friends and acquaintances, and amongst the latter Mr. George Canham contrived lo mako himself particularly ag*reeable. And, ns tho season progressed, the outcome of Mr. Canham's attentions to Muriel was recorded by Godfrey iu tho postscript of a lotlor to Joyce:��������� \"Almost forgot to tell you that Muriel has done it, and fi....l it up to marry Mr. George Canham.\" Godfrey Reid and Cnnhnm wore in the Uycroft Club one afternoon, and Canham was rending the \"Times.': \"Heard about this new gold-mine they've found at Wnllyboiro?

I became a breeder of ; registered cattle simply because I liked them. I early realized that cattle must bo cared for well if we wore lo mako a living out of them. I well remember tho first wheat bran I ever fed. I went 15 miles after it, our nearby towns not keeping such luxuries for cows. I was not satisfied with tho results and disposed of the native cows. Over 30 years ago I got a registered Jersey bull. Ho was out of a cow giving 40 lbs. milk per day. Too many farmers chango their minds about tho proper way to grade up a herd. I remember selling a Jersey bull to a party who used liim, getting a lot of splendid daughters. He wanted to get more milk and put in a Holstein to breed his herd. When the Guernseys did so well -ho wanted tho breed and got them. As a consequence to-day he has a lot of \"ring-streaked and speckled animals no better than ho started with years ago. BUILDING UP THE HERD. I used the���������registered bull for a few years, but tho one-half, three-quarters and seven-eighths grades did not take on the color and shape of Jerseys fast enough to suit me, though thoy wero an improvement on their - dams as buttcr cows'. I wanted somo registered, cows. * I lacked the money, but finally I got a! couple heifers. I had to be satisfied with cheap ones, but it gave me'experience. I studied pedigrees and- breeding.

With this latter rig, we hav������ been making butter for 14 veal's. , ,v Our butter product of 325 pounds from tho poorly kept native 'cow gradually grew with experience in feeding and better bleeding. With the improvements for getting fhe cream out of the milk, our buttcr product soon -reached 300 pounds of buttcr per cow.

Ayres, Mining and Consulting Engineer ��������� Probable. Age of the Famous Deutschman Caverns. On the 26th, 27th and 28th we e_- 1 plored \"Gopher Bridge\" and the main cave, entering the latter through \"The Canyon\" and \"Entrance No. 2.\" This exploration consisted of a complete survey of all passages, not heretofore reported by me as surveyed, and of flashlight photographs of some of the attractive features of the interior. On the 29th we broke camp and returned to the Glacier House ou foot. THE TRAIL. A very easy trail for riding or walking can be made from the Glacier House to the cave by way of The Loop and Koss Peak water tank. The length of this trail would be about five and_one half miles. It would have not only an- easy grade but a location tbat brings to view in a new light some of the grandest scenery of this famous part of thc Selkirks. This feature of itself would make it a very popular trail even though there were no caves at the other end of it.. The trail should be constructed on the sloping ground above the river. It would then connect with an old trail, used during the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which passes_ through���������a_-Very__ heaviJx_tim^ bered forest lying in the ravine to the right of Cougar Mountain. At a point about one quarter of a mile before reaching Cougar Creek this old trail should be left, ahd a new trail made up the ravine of Cougar Creek to the cave on well selected ground consistent with easy grades. On arriving at the cave tbe magnificent assemblage of balsam firs with their spire-like forms, shown in photograph No. 21, welcome the visitor as stately hostesses. In the winter they deck themselves with the most dainty enowy drapery. When the visitor turns homeward from the cave the view shown in photograph No. 22 greets him. Ross Paek is in clear view at the right and tbe Great Glacier at the left, with Cougar Creek ravine in the center, down which the trail leads him with an ever changing panorama of the most beautiful of the Seikirks continually before him. When passing The Loop again, at the very spot where on his way to the cave the view Bhown in photograph No. 19 met his eyes, the view in No. 23 greets him, with Sir Donald at the right. THE EXPLORATION. Tbe \"Gopher Bridge\" was first explored. An entrance was effected by Mr. Deutschman during the summer, first, by crawling through a very narrow passage in the old bed of Cougar Creek, marked on the map herewith submitted as \"Old Channel,\" j and second by blasting away some fallen rock at a point noted on the map as \"Gopher Bridge Entrance.\" We entered by tbe latter opening. This is a very unique cave by itself. The characteristic water-carved walls of white and grey marble, such as are found in \"Entrance No. 1\", and described in my report of June 8th, 1905, are everywhere to be seen. An additional feature, however, is here to be found. In many places the change of (he limestone into marble is not com plete. The parts of the rocks not fully changed stand out as nodules, while the marble between them has been dissolved and eroded to an unusual degree, thus giving the walls a strange picturesque appearance. \" From a geological standpoint the formation under \"Gopher Bridge\" shows, in a' manuer rarely to be found in surface exposures, the various stages of transition -of tbe original limestone into the present marble by the heat process called metamorphosis. There are evidences also of cavities, comparatively small it is true, that existed in the original beds of limestone and which were subsequently filled with pure carbonate of lime. During the metamorphosis of the limestone this filling also was changed to white crystalline marble. Some chips and nuggets of quartz are to bc seen imbedded in the filling evidenc- ng that they were carried into the cavity by water during'the process of the lime accumulation. Shrinkage cracks are everywhere to be found in the ��������� grey and white marble, which were formed during its early solidification into limestone and afterward filled with pure carbonate, of li'n-.e. Tbey now show as scams of white maible inserted in the rocks at various angles to their bedding faces. Cougar Cieek now enters under \"Gopher Bridge\" at the point marked \"Present Channel\" on the map. In my former report, Juno 8th, 1905, \"no reference wns made to the \"Present Channel\" because it was entirely obscured from view by a very deep snow-slide. The \"Old Channel\" however, was partly open to view, and, because of its logical position, was mistaken, for tbe channel actually conveying the water under the bridge. The creek has a tortuous course under the bridge as is shown on the map. The first portion of it was inaccessible because of the low roof, the last portion because of the deep water in the creek. Photographs Nos. 24 and 25 were taken here by flash-light. They show something of the fantastic carving of the water channel in the marble strata, but do not convey a true idea of the real beauty of the thing itself. The openings that were explored are now easily accessible, and it appears to be quite possible to form a continuous passage under the bridge by bridging the deep and swift portion of CougarCreek\"thatis -now- impassible and which is shown in photograph No. 25. If this is done the visitor would begin his tour of the caves by entering first at the upper or west end of \"Gopher Bridge.\" Emerging at the east end he would again enter by \"Entrance No. 1.\" At the south-east corner of the \"Auditorium\" a passage can be made into \"The Canyon\" by removing the debris for about 20.feet. Then the visitor can make a continuous trip from the west end of \"Gopher Bridge\" to the large cave without retracing any steps. A correction in my former map is made, on the accompanying map, as to where the waters from \"Whistler Falls\" join Gougar Creek. In June last this junction was partly obscured by a heavy snow slide, in fact the waters from the falls were then running as shown on my former map. After the snow disappeared it was discovered that they join Cougar Creek under 'Gopher Bridge\" and disappear from the surface in a deep, nearly vertical shaft, called \"The Gopher Hole.\" The exploration of the main cave through \"Entrance No. _\" was a most laborious task. The descent into \"The Canyon\" was by means of a rope down an incline that was nearly perpendicular, about 75 per cent, and over suow ahd ice, for a distance 85 feet. The cave was then entered by \"Entrance No. 2.\" Cougar Creek at this time was very ] much less in volume as compared with its flush condition at the time of my former report, June 8,1905, and fair progress in the exploration has been made. A complete survey of all its accessible openings was made and tbo accompanying map shows them in their relative positions. Nine photographs were taken by flash-light illustrating some of the most attractive features.* j THIS MAIN CAVE ground openings thus far discovered. It naturally should because of the additional waters entering ��������� it. The average height of the main channel- way, measured on the dip of the strata, is about 100 fest, while the width, measured perpendicular to the bedding faces, rahges from 8 to 20 feet. This channelway is not, as might be supposed, of uniform width, but varies with the conditions of flow of the water at tho limo of its formation. | With all the water flowing through it on a steep grade it would bo narrow, and with only a portion of it, the other portion running around some other way, it would also be narrow. It would be widest where all the water passed through it and on a modorate grade. During its earlier history it undoubtedly appeared mucli like the pass&geway in \"Entrance No. 1,\" described in niy report of June 8, 1905. But as the chunnelway grew deeper and wider, tlirough centuries of erosion, many largo masses of rock from the lianging-wnll were loosened and fell into tho channel-way, .thus causing an obstruction, around which the water cut its way, and at tlie same time cut away some or all of the obstruction itself. As a result many enlarged places are to be seen here and there. Still others arc to be seen that have been formed as pot-holes, like rounded shafts, down which the water poured keeping the boulders at their bottoms ceaselessly grinding them deeper and deeper. From these results it was only a matter of time when, particularly at the confluence of streams, great masses of overhanging reck would be un- footed and dropped into the great channel and pot-holes. Thi3 is shown to a marvelous degree where the waters of \"Bear Falls\" formerly joined Cougar Creek. Portions of the old channel-way and of the very large potholes are here visible, the other portions being covered with fallen rocks from the roof. One of these, an enormous rock, rests in 'a nearly horizontal position and its upper surface contains about 1200 square feet cf fl oor space. This we named \"THE BALL ROOM.'-' About 150 feet south from \"Tlie Ball Room\" is \"The Pit.\" This is the \"Deep Cavern,\" at \"Entrance No.-3,\" mentioned in my report of June 8, 1905, that was estimated to be 25G feet deep. This estimate was made from the number of seconds required for a stone to reach the. bottom. It took four seconds, but several deflections were made by the stone in its descent. The nearly vertical portion, \"The Pit,\" measures 120 feet,. and the steep channel-way leading from its bottom and down which the stone undoubtedly went, measures 125 feet more, mak- 2_5 feet by actual measurement.. The rocks in \"The Pit\" are of a very dark blue-grey color and have bands of white marble inserted in thcm* which have been crumpled by pressure, giving the bands a zig-zag appearance. The fallen masses of rock wherever found throughout thc cave, particularly tbose about'\"The Ball Room\" and \"The Pit,\" were carefully examined to determine their present stability. The roof was also examined carefully to the same end,' The singular firmness of every fallen piece, even the very small ones, led the writer to the discovery that the water had undoubtedly shifted all tbe fallen pieces, great or small, into positions that are firm and reliable. No evidence whatever was discovered of any present movement in the roof, neither were any points discovered where the present water erosion has made a fall of rock imminent. To make travel easy in the cave plank walls should be built across these rough places. '' No blasting of any kind whatever should be allowed in any part of the cave in forming passage-ways or in making improvements. The present quiet condition of the rocks is thereby insured, and the breaking of tbe fragile carbonate of lime coating, which forms the decoration of the cave, by the concussion .of-bl������sting,_is_algo_pr_eyented._ A blast might work ruin to this attractive feature. At a point on the main passageway nearly opposite \"The Pit,\" and marked A on the map. an opening was found through which we descended to the present bed of Cougar Creek at the bottom of the cave. Thia passage led us north directly under \"The Ball Room,\" where an examination wag made of the bottoms of the gigantic pot-holes, now in ruin, and of the old water grooves. We naturally named this spot \"THE OLD MILL.\" It certainly did grind for many centuries before it fell into ruin and disuse. Passing still further along this passage in a northerly direction we came down upon Cougar Creek. Following up the creek to the point marked B we discovered that it here makes a sudden turn to the northwest. Photograph No 26 shows this turn to the left with Mr. Deutschman standing on the edge of Cougar Creek. Continuing up the creek we came to a place where the low roof and accumulated gravel prevented further progress. This point is only about 200 feet from where Cougar Creek disappears near \"Entrance No. 2.\" Returning to the point B we continued on in a northerly direction and found a different kind of gravel and boulders in the bed of the channel. In Cougar Creek above the point B it consists of marble and. schist with very little quartzite; which is chiefly white or the inlet from \"Upper Goat Falls.\" Continuing to tho northward we came to a sudden turn to the right, beyond which the most ragged walls are to be seen that have been ' found anywhere in the cave. The jagged points ami grotesque shapes nt once inspire caution. It was named \"the tekijou.\" Its peculiar roughness is duo to the partial, metamorphosis of the rock and is similar to the condition of change found in thc rocks under \"Gopher Bridgo.\" In this case the condition is accentuated by the existence of thin knife-like blades of thc unchanged limestone instead of nodules, all of which extond from one half inch to two inches beyond the general surface'of the marble holding them. The extiemo south ond of this inner passage risos suddenly for aliout 15 feet and a ladder is needed to explore it beyond this point. This is the present water com so. The extreme north ei:d opens out into u large chamber that is practically 1111. cl with sand and gravel. Scleral bianch passages are to'. be been extending north and south from this chamber but they:are nearly lillid with giavel. They all enter it near the roof, From this chamber to the point A this entire passago has been funned along a fault, which inclines upward at an angle of about 65������ to the west. Along its line on the surface the ravine of \"beak falls\" has been formed, also the depression through which its waters now flow to \"Entrance No. 3.\" From this entrance down into the cave these waters have cut their way along this same fault, joining Cougar Cieek below, and in their passage have formed \"The Pit.\" This portion of the cave just described from A northward and downward along Cougar Creek to the limits mentioned, and the passage from li to \"The Terror,\" hart never before been explored until Mr. Deutfchinan and | the writer entered it on Oct. 27, 19u5. It is one of the most interesting and instructive portions ot the entiic cave. It tells a long story in history from the first grinding of \"The Old Mill\" to the present day erosion, probably MOKE THAN -10,000 YEARS. * Returning again to the point A and continuing along the pissagewny, which from here runs in a soutl.- easterly direction along the strike of the strata, many interesting features are met with! - , * From the map it will bo observed that those sections of the highest* old waterways' thus far thoroughly explored and surveyed, from \"Kntianco No. 2\" to the-*present southeasterly limit of the cave, are all on a line and that this'line is''coincidcnt with,the strike of the strata\". The omitted, sections of it that,lie on either side of \"The Pit\" have- been explored sufficiently tp determine that.they are-on the same linear -Obey., are so nearly tilled witb debris as \"to be unattractive. ��������� Tbe^factthat-this old watei way was originally straight and continuous along the strike of the strata, and passed close to \"The Pit,\" forms a base from which to study the subsequent changes. ', At a point about -190 feet forwaid from A a passage to the left exists th'at leads to the brink of A PRECIPITOUS ROCK at the foot of which Cougar Creek can be seen dimly. Photograph No. 27 was taken there. The dark spaces ai c abandoned channels cut by the water. Cougar Creek shows faintly at the bottom of the picture���������a littlo to the left of the middle. This pluce had already been named \"the turbine\" by a previous visitor. . There is a roar and swish of falling water to be beard here. Undoubtedly .he roar mentioned in my former report as heard in \"The Deep Cavern\" came from this falls, whose roar, when Cougar Creek is highest, is thrilling beyond description. A search was here.made for a way to\"ger~down\"uporrthe~bed~ of- Cougar Creek both above and below the falls. Above thn falls the-passageways shown on the map were found and the creek explored and surveyed for the distance shown. Below the falls a crevice in the rock was found through which we descended to the present creek bed. The.course of Cougar Creek here is diagonally to the : right across the strata, and its level is about 00 feet below the passageway by which we advanced. In tbe old channelway on this lower level are to be seen two very .**^.---'-c,y-.~'._. .'..-.\"-....<_ SXasetfMOA. .>?j_. ijw. .*./V\\-*VV'yvWVW^***A*-AA^ s Pianos Fl'K������3..L B-REQTGBS, EKBALRIERS Jml'.nl _'������������������_' .-.������ ���������ra_--'__ro.~TO_. .__ _..__i,._.m..i,-u.-.-,-J.__-^.

' This portion of the cave aboie and below tho falls, or \"The Turbine,\" is also a section thit hnd never been entered before Mr. Deutschman and the writer entered it on October 28, 1005. In fact thc first e_plorntion of the bottom of this cave at any point, and the locution of Cougur Cieek running through it, is here recorded. Passing on in u southeasterly ilu- ection fiom tho point A for a distance of 250 feet an old water course is entered that we named \"THE Alt- GALLER.\" because of thc beautiful deposits of carbonate of lime. This lime accumulation is white or creamy white with an occasional tint of pink. It resembles heads of cauliflowers set closo together without intervening space, and in mass is \\ery beautiful. \" From \"The Art Gallery\" forward for 200 feet several more spots with lime accumulations arc to be seen. Immediately after p&ssiug the >' southeast end of \"The Ait Gul Tory\" a waterway on the right was observed, but it was inaccessible except for a short distanco owing to its almoSt vcitical ascent and to its narrowness. \" This may bc the inlet from \"Entrance No. ���������_\" which is \"Loner Goat Falls.\" This is not positive, however, as a passage vvas observed branching off from the loop of Cougar Criek*at~\"The Turbine.\" The wiiter thinks the latter the most probable iulet from' \"Lower Goat Falls.\" This inlet at \"The^ Tut bine\" was hot explored as a ladder was needed.\" - .,_- ' / ,,. .

This opening is mentioned in my foimer report as blocked with ice, and was then designated as \"Entrance No. 2\" believing that it , connected with thc cave below. In this report \"Entrance No. 2\" means the,entrance on the bed of Cougar Creek, at the bottom of \"The Canjon\" 100 feet porpendicul.nly lelow this opening. This \"Ire Cave\" consists of a nairow passage about 80 feet long, then a chnmbpi 20\\4() feet with two branch pn.sagca lending fiom it, each about 100 feet long. An opening in tho ravine 1700 foot in a southeasterly (liie. lion from tho most southerly poii t of (he Mul. wn. recently discoveied by .'Mr. Deutschman and wc npxt proceeded to it. We were able to enter it for about 75 feot only when the passage branched and became so small that wo could go no farther. This opening, whilo it may prove to be local and in no way connected with the main cave, causes the writer to believe that there are [ GREAT POSSIBILITIES etill existing as to the extent of the main cave. - A few stalactites wero found here and thore in tho old parts o. the main cave, puro white iu color, the largest boing 18 inches long. J-XTENT OF CAVE. Tho prediction made in my -former report that \"The area between Entrances Nos. 2, 3, and 4 aud \"Upper Goat\" and'\"Douglas Falls\" is most probably a labyrinth of underground waterways,\" has been almost fully veiilied, the only portion not yet enteied being the triangular space between \"Upper Gout Falls,\" \"Douglas Falls\" and \"Entrance No. 4.\" From the conditions now known it is only logical to beliovo that extensivo openings exist in this area. The picdic- tion also that \"The ono half milo between \"Lower Goat Falls' and the supposed outlet should bo tho largest pait of the cuvo by reason of accumulated waters,\" has beeu veiified iu greater part. That A VERY EXTENSIVE CAVERN EXISTS in this aiea, beyond that already explored and bhown on the map, is a foregone conclusion. The total length of the passageways surveyed and measured by tho writer thus lar amounted to about 4000 feet, or four fifths of a mile. To see the caves at this timo, before any improvements are made, tho visitor must roti ace his steps in every passageway, thus doubling the distance named. He muBt travel 8000 feet or one and three fifths miles on the main passageways, This does not include the distance between the entrance nor the little side trips that will be made here and theie in the cave to get closer to the various points of interest: The distance into the cave is now so great that it will reqniio the visitor to be a person well used to climbing in order to view the entire cave in one day. PROBABLE AGE OF CAVE. The mnible rocks in which the cave is formed belong moat probably to the Devonian'ugo. No fossils were found however to positively verify ������his conclusion. The limestone rocks have uot been completely changed into marble at all points as was observed under \"Gopher Bridge\",and in \"The Terror.\" Notw ithstanding the fact that the rocks belong to a comparatively old seiics,yet tho beginning of the cave undoubtedly dates from a very recent geological time. 'Assuming the rate of erosion to be one thirty-second of an inch in a year, then to eut down one .hundred-feet of rock, which is nbout fthe average amount eroded iu the main cave, . . - _ WOULD REQUIRE 38,400 YEARS. . \"Any actual rate greater or less than .lliis-. assumption ..would increase., oi \"arminisli-the .rige \"''of - thevcave.- . -In several \"places along Cougar, Creek in the*bottom.'-of -���������\"tlie cave,an excellent opportunity\" is aflorded\"to ^determine actually .the. \"piesent \"annual raie'cf. erosion.\" A','micrometer measuring apparntus%8hould be used and the area orcross-sectioi-of the'rock eroded per yard.thusjaccuratly,computed.\" ^Also the'ratio between the area of tfiecross- section of theaveiuge stream and \"the aieii of the rock eroded should be determined. And finally the quantity of water passing the given* section in one-year, and its .velocity, should 'bp accurately measured. Iif _ contemplating the foregoing suggestion as to the .probable -age of I the cave it should-be' borne in mind that wliere\"gravel iind~_and lodge, in the bed of the stream the rate \"of erosion is many times less than where the bed in continually swept clean *by a more rapid current. - r* The above report is respectfully sub mitted ���������*- -, , ** - '*- -J .** V ; '- (Sgd.)

He was onu of the pilot- who take peoplo up nntl down tho inland sea. Ho'd lived most of his life in Japan, and had known old Hoskins for some fifteen years. \"lie found tho old mnn on tho bridgo watching the boat awnings being fixed. \" \"Mornin', Cap'n Hoskins,' ho eaid. \"The skipper roturned his salute. 'Morning, Minchin,' ho replied. \" 'It's a fino morning,\" said tho pilot. \" 'Vou didn't como on board to tell mc that?' says the old man. \" T did not,' said the pilot. 'I came on a little matter of business.' \"Old Hoskins motioned him to- a deck-chair wliich stood bosido tho chart-house, and took another him- nc!f. \"'It's about n.y wife,' said tho pilot. \" 'About who?' \" 'My wife. You didn't know I wns married, then?' \" T never remember you bragging about it. When did the unfortunate affair take place?' \" 'My wifo is a Japaneso,' says Minchin. ignoring tho insinuation. 'She ain't been well latoly, and the doctor advises sea air and a bit of a chango. Sho's got an uncle, a merchant in Saigon, and I thought that, as you're going thoro, you might givo her a lift. I'd tako it as a favor.\" \" 'Hut I've no accommodation,' said tbe old mnn. ��������� 'Besides, I don't care about having women on this ship. It's apt to unsettle my third officer's mind a bit.' \" 'To oblige me,' says Minchin. \" '.-'oil, well, Peter,' says the old * man, *if you put it that way; I suppose I can't; refuse you. You can bring her aboard this evening.' \"Minchin brought his wife on board in tlic evening. She was a pretty, slight littlo thing, with dark eyes, and dark hair coiled up wondrous on tho top of her head. She was vcry quiet, and seemed very fond of hcr husband. Ho introduced her* to Hoskins, and she: went down on lier hands and knees nnd tapped her fort head on the deck as a mark of respect. Hoskins was as pleased as though he'd deserved it. \" '..ow. then, skipper,' says Minchin, 'I'm trusting to you, onc that's dearer to mo than life. There ain't another man as I'd allow her to be in charge of. Here's a lettor to her uncle. Ichida Nugoya, gener- ~al merchant, in the Rue Lafitto. When you get to Saigon, all you'vo got tt- do is to take hor there, and I'll lie eternally grateful to you. \" 'That's all right, Peter,' said the old man. \"W'e got up anchor an hour later, and Peter gave his wife a farewell 'kiss.'and- went down the side. The .': Japanese don't kiss, ns a rule, but I expect she'd picked it up fromher husband in live years of .married life ���������-just about the time it takes a. European to forgot.it. \"Slie stood Hooking after him as we steamed down the harbor, and then turned. to Hoskins, with a pitiful little smile. \" Tt is sad,' she said, 'to leave en; whom one loves vory dearly, is it hot?\" \" Tt is,! says old Hoskins. 'Many's the time, I've had to do it \"myself.' \"There isn't a prettier place in the world than Nagasaki .Harbor..'. Wc steamed down the long channel between winding hills, with the water stretched out between them as smooth as glass. Tho girl kept looking back, standing as motionless as a block of carved wood. At last a whiff from the open sea took us. The steamer pitched up her bows a little to it, and .took a slight \"1 ran up to thc bridgo. Hoskins met mo, his faco the color of chalk. \" 'Whore's that girl?' ho yelled. 'George Where's that girl?\" \" Tn hor cabin, I suppose, sir,' I said. \" 'Sho's^ not!\" ho roared. 'Sho camo on \"clock. I saw her standing for'nrd of tho bridgo on the starboard sido. Thoy tiling a lino, and I lost sight of hor. Goorgc, if sho's gone overboard, I'll nover forgivo myself!' \" 'I'll go and look for her, sir,' I replied. And I turned nnd loft tho bridgo \"1 searched high and low. Sho wasn't in her cabin, and sho wasn't, anywhere elso that I could seo. I went np to report. \" 'Wo'll talk of it. in the morning.' said tho old man, puzzled.

II. - plunge:���������It- seemed_to���������wake-Her-lip\".\" and she turned to Hoskins, with tears in hor eyes. ���������'Twill go my cabin,' she said. 'I have seen enough.' \"She took one more look at the shore, repeated her bow to tho old man and me. and turned in. ���������lilVc had a lovely voyage nlmost as far as Hong Kong. Every niorning as tlio little woman came up on the bridge she would give tho old mnn one of her low bows, and then he would put creases into his waistcoat trying to imitate hcr. He used to fix her up in hi.s deck-chair and wrap rugs around her and sit and talk to her by the hour. \"Tlie night before we mado Hong Kong was pitch dark., There was a bit of a fog on the water, and not a star showing. It was the middle watch, and I was in my bunk taking forty winks. ������������������Suddenly I hoard a crash and a succession of grinding bumps, as if wc were knocking up against something solid. Then the telephonc-bclf rang wildly in the cabin, and there was a rush , of feet overhead. I jumped up and ran on deck. The ship had a heavy list to starboard, aud as I looked up at tho masts tho first tiling- that caught my'eyes was the tops'l of a big sailing-ship jammed up against thc foremnst- * light. \"Her yards swuii������' round slowly, and she drifted past us.

As she did so we righted <;'.. .\" '.S. \"He pulled tho check-string of our whistle. Tho roar of tho syren rang hoarsely through tho night. I wont aft and fired a rocket. Thoro was no answer. \"When I went on the bridgo again Hoskins was very palo. \" Tt looks . bad,' he said. 'I'm afraid we've sunk her. But I'll stnnd by until morning.' \"Wo hunted up, and down in tha fog. Now a__d again wo thought we'd got a glimpse of her, and now and again wo lost hor. \"At last we gavo up searching, and slowed down, waiting for morning. When it broke, tho sea was quito clear. Hoskins put tho ship into Hong Kong to report, and then we* continued our voyage to Saigon. \"Tho old man was more cut up than I thought it possible for him to bc. 'I'd give a year's pay, George,' ho .said,* 'if this hadn't happened! There's that girl's uncle to faco whori wo get to Saigon. How I'm to look poor old Peter in tho faco after this, I don't know.' \"When wo arrived ho wrote off a letter to tho pilot, explaining how tho sad occurrence had' happened. It was a beautiful letter, too, -all about the chances of. a sailor's life, and being in tho midst of death, and all that sort of thing. Tho old man was so pleased with it that ho read it over to mc before ho. closed tho envelope. \".'I'll go ashoro and post it, George,' he said; 'then I'll go up and see tho poor girl's uncle.

She knelt on the floor bosido him, and put hcr head on his whito pillow. \"Isn't 'this nice soft littlo bod, and pretty nine comfort, and plump whito pillows nicer than sticks and straws and leaves and paper, woven logethor as tho robin in tho lilac bush mnkes its littlo houso?\" \"Not quite, mothur,\" said Bobby Boy. \"I want to sleep just ono night in a nost.\" Bobby Boy's mother laughed and kissed him good-night again and cuddled tho bluo comfort about him and smoothed tho white pillows and patted tho yellow curls and. told him to (jo to sleep. He lay thinking nbout how nico it was for littloIbirds who didn't go to kindergarten, and had nothing lo do but build nests in lilac bushes. When ho did go to sleep at last, ho drcamod nbout nests with littlo blue comforts in them, and littlo brass knobs all round the edgo of thom and funny pillows mado of moss. Noxt day Bobby Boy was very busy. His mothor found him building a bird's nest in tho closet. It was bigger than tho nost in tho lilac bush, for Bobby Boy was fivo years old. It was mado of pine branches he had brought in from tho woods, and tho feathers he had picked from an old duster, and bits of moss and paper and string. Night came again, and Bobby Boy's mother tucked in tho bluo comfort and patted the whito pillow and smoothed Uio yellow hair and kissed Bobby Boy good-night after she had sung a iittlo !go-to-sleep' song to him. Bobby Boy ditl not go to 'sloop. Ho lay very wide awako, watching: a big whito moon shining through tho applo tree. Bobby Boy was waiting till the houso grew still, thon ho meant to go out and build a'nest iu t.he applo treo. When the house grow still, Bobby Boy crawled out of bod. Ho put on his littlo trousers and stockings, then ho pulled thc bluo comfort off tlio little*? bed and tied it into a bundle. There were sticks in the bundle, and moss and paper aiid the feathers from the. 'feather duster. Bobby Hoy opened tho .window and crept out on a little piazza. \"Cheep, weep, cheop weep,' went a frightened littlo bird - in the tree; then it flew away nnd screamed, for 11 had nover beforo seen a little boy looking down into its tree whon tho moon was shining. The apple tree threw ono big branch up on the piazza. , There was tho nicest place where fivo big limbs branched out. It was just big enough to hold a little boy's nest, and Bobby Boy had beon thinking about tit for a long, long time. He climbed up on the branch and put hi.s legs around it. exactly as he did when he'���������%lid; down on tho banisters. Ho held the ropo that was tied to his bundle, then he slid down the big branch into thc heart of the apple tree: Once or twice the little twigs whipped him in the faco, thc tree creaked and groaned. and the blue ''bundle stuck among the branches. At last he was down in the little nest, and he stood there for a minute, breathing very hard. He pulled the bundle after, him, and it came*, with a whack that almost knocked ;him down. It was a good thing there were nice. Arm branches like a wall all around him, or Bobby Boy would have tumbled to the ground. He waited for a minute to get his; breath back, then he began to build his nest. It was hot as easy to build a nest as in tho closet.because thing., tumbled to tho ground. All the .licks fell, and a puff of wind carried the paper and feathers away. The moss wouldn't stay put. and nothing seemed to want to bo made into a nest but the blue-comfort-���������Bobby-Bwy-_>fain-bir-- gan to feel cold, so ho spread it round him and crouched down in his nest. It was very Ifrnely and quiet. The little bird came back und flow into the top of the tree and snid, \"Cheep weep, cheep weep,\" as if it wore sleepy and llreii The moon grew bigger nnd whiter and brighter, and Blared boldly at Bobby Hoy through the branches. Bobby Hoy didn't feel comfortable in his nost; a. scraggy old branch \"Bobby Boy!\" cried his father. \"Bobby Boy, where aro vou?\" \"Here, in my nest,\" callod Bobby Boy. Then father and mother climbed out on tho uiiizza. - His mother was crying, antr_iis father wns bending down into tho npplo tree, but ho could not reach Bobby Boy. Then everybody in tho houso waked up, and n long ladder went up to tho very hoart of tho oltl applo treo, and Bobby Boy crept into his father's arms. Ho wont to sleep in his own littlo bed, with a hot water bottlo at his foot and a hot, woolly blanket wrapped about him and soft whilo pillows under his head; and the lust thing ho remembered was tho big moon looking nt him through tho applo trco and saying: \"Bobby Boy, you'ro a goose. isn't that' lovely bod bettor than n nest in the npplo tree?\" \"I boliovo it is, sir,\" said Bobby Boy sleepily. DRESS CUTTING HINTS HOME DRESSMAKING TOR. THRIFTY WOMEWT. Some Valuable Pointers for the Ambitious Amateur Dressmakers. Numbors of girls can \"tnako their own unlinnd slips and blouses, and find such an accomplishment ot the very greatest use to tlieir purses and thoir appearance. Not so many, but, still, a largo proportion of them aro able to inako their own dresses \"after : a fashion,\" as thoy themselves; term it, and a vory useful fashion it is. But tho ambitious amateur dressmaker nover rests un- tilTier efforts display nothing of the home-made look that labels thom her own productions, but strives to accomplish work that bears the air of a skilled modiste's aptitude. To this end a good paper pattern is the-first essential, or the old lining of another..'bodice that is a por- fect iit. But a pattern is not everything. What is wanted next is skill in cutting tho material which i.s to bo usod, then'the tacking and fitting process must ba intelligently followed, and, next, the stitching and finishing of the garment, whatever it may be. IIOW TO USE YOUU PATTERN. No amateur who wants to mako a great success of her gown should choose a plaided or striped material for hoi' initial venture in dressmaking. A self-colored, 'plojn- siirfnced material is hci*_ wisest choice. Plnids, stripes and even spots, baffle, the most accomplished dressmaker, and often result in failure, though when they are\" skilfully managed they are decidedly beautifying to tho figure. -Choose a plain' ileal tabic ' that you may scratch as much as you liko for the cutting-out process; it must have no cloth on'it, and you must not be obliged to pack your work away when tho tea-tray comes. No good workwoman ever hns had what is called a tidy tablo, for she understands tho importance of not fingering her work or folding it and putting it away more than is absolutely necessary. ���������' ' The pattern you will have bought ���������and do get u good one���������of courso, represents one-half of tho bodice, and a.s both sides of the average person are alike���������though somo dilTer slightly and must be allowed for in tho fitting���������so the pattern must be exactly repeated on two separate pieces- of lining and material. Take the lining, double it carefully, and stretch it on the table, and as the selvedges of many * materials and linings are slightly puckered, it will be well to snip thom all the wray down at intervals of about two inches. This will:; stretch out the drawn part, and will: prevent tho dressmaking process starting with a slight pucker in the' pieco of work. STEPS IN BODICE MAKING. Now take the pattern and pin it carefully on the doublo lining, and do not he sparing of the pins. If the straight of the; material is marked' on the pattern,- arrange for it accordingly, otherwise lay the through tho tracing marks any placo which will bo usoful to soo afterwards, on tho right sido of tho bodice, a groat deal of troublo will bo saved, The principal places to bo marked thus aro tho waist-lino, as this will help you whon tho fixing process begins; tho contro-tront, so that you may tell whoro tho fastenings havo to bo arranged for; tho collar-lino, nnd the armhole. Tack on tho tablo���������that is to shy, lot tljo bodico itsolf rest upon tho tablo in front of you, with tho lining underneath and material on top, nnd tako particular pains to tacit tho back pieces togother vory carefully, ao thnt no puckering may ensue. When tho moment comes for fitting, brnco yourself up to accomplish this Important part of your task bravely and.with decision, bolter still, got someone who understands the matter to do it for you. Almost tho most important port in the fitting of a drcss-hodlco appertains '' to the chost.lne.c which must not bo in nny way contracted, or the wholo set of tho corsago; is interfered with and spoilt; and horo it mny bo added that anyone who is being fitted should not only stand upright,, but with hor head woll hold up. Tt is, porhaps, natural to look downwards to sco how the fitter is proceeding; but .this must not ho done, or tho bodico will certainly run the risk of being finished with a contracted front.

Alc_._ BATTLES COMPARED. The Huge Masses Employed in the Late War. Tho great feature of tlio war ,has been tho hugei masses engaged, says the Saturday Koviow. Leipzig itself in this respect compares poorly with Mukden. The hosts of 3 812 wero not so numerous as those, that invaded Manchuria, and Borodino _nay outrival .Liaoyang\" in horrors, but not in numbers\" of. guns\" or men'that fought. .Yot it is surely remarkable that after an unbroken record of defeat on such a huge scale the ���������l*-us- sinns still can show an army fully equipped and organized in position. Liaoyang and Mukden were truly enough to break the spirit and dis-**, solve . tho ranks of - the stoutest ' troops in tho world. Tn spite of the list of killed and wounded, of the. prisoners, of the guns and trophies the war could still have been carried .on. Yet Marengo, a more skirmish in comparison to these battles of giants, decided tho fate of a nation. .Jena laid a kingdom in tho dust. Even. Friedland compelled n Cznr to come to terms. What is it that mado Mukden indecisive and could allow tho Czar to dream of victory when for a year and a half not a gleam of success had shono for a momont on his bayonets? The terr_.no in which the battles were fought had, of course, iniirli to tlo with it, but tho very vns.noss of the armies had 'moro. An army of several hpndrcds of thousands cannot be.''moved .iko oho of a third the size. The telegraph may do much, but it cannot annihilate space whero movements ���������of men aro concerned, and to pursue a beaten foe. requires ..prompt action and energy, __\\ihirh_-_nre only possible whoro events tako .place under tho eye and wil bin the direction of a stiprenie leader.

On tho transference of his native regiment to Knst Africa ho decided to essuy his skill at Simba, a loiioly station on tho Uganda Hailway, and long famous for the vicinity .pf lions. j Some two hundred yards from tho station a water tank marks tho spot whero tho lions drink very, frequently, by night, nntl on this tank Captain Stigand took up his post a few minutes after dusk, in thn brilliant light of an African moon. SHOT THHOUCH THE HEART. A long wait ensued, and it was not till many hours had elapsed that a lioness made her appearance.' Creeping stealthily in roar, of tho tank, tho bruto mado its way to a pool closo by, and at this moment Captain Stigand ilred his .'lirst*.shot. The effort proved a successful one, for with a bound and a groan the boast dashed forward ami fell shot through lho heart, stretched at full length across the railway line. A short interval only had elapsed whon a couplo.of lions emerged from tho grass, evidently intent on their ovening drink; but their progress was checked by. seeing tho lioness \"a few*, yards from them, and thoy at onco proceeded to examine thVbody. One of thcm, evidently tho niato, commenced scratching at tho carcase, hoping thu lioness was only asleep, and, meeting with no response, set up a dismal howl, which was quickly followed hy a roar from the othor. For two hours Simba Station rang with tho moaning and bellowing of theso two fierce beasts, and during that timo Cnptnin Stigand lay ready at tho \"present.\" At length thoy quitted tho dead lioness and camo slowly toward the tank. The leading lion had approached within, fifteen yards when a well-directed shot caused him to bound in the midnight nir. This was at once followed by a second ball, and spinning round in his agony ho reached the-long grass, where he lay a huddled brown mass. Tha\" othor Tion'watched ^ thc scone without movement. In a \\trico tho .25(5 -Mannlicher was\" directed- against him, and ho was sent moaning into tho. cover, to, bo found lifeloss in the early morning. , ' ^ A DEATHLY STItUGGl-E. - Seeing tho boasts apparently dead, Captain Stigand descended from the' tank and walked towards tho huddled brown mass. Ho was only a fow feet off when the worst happened. * Tho beast roso'from tho grass and spuing. With a mighty roar he leapt into tho air and the whole surroundings seemed , hidden J>y his massivo frame.. The sight was truly a terrific one. Every hair in its body stood out, and every vein swelled with fierco anger. A shot was quickly (irod, but this only increased tho ferocity of tho attack, and then, camo a scene,- the* like - of whicli has rarely been enacted. Tho lion seized tho loft arm of tho hunter, and man and beust rolled over together. With his right arm froo tho gallant soldier caught his ussnilant by tho throat and, fighting for' his life, ho struck tho brute several times. Once again they rolled ovor, tho lion,- for the ' moment, on lop, anil then tho man, and thc fierce fight went on. At lti3t there was an unexpected lull, for the lion. . sick and wounded unto death, savagely shook his victim, and then, to Captain Stigand's amazement, slunk oil'. This encounter was not the first of Captain Stigand's with wild beasts. Only \"a foiv months previously, while stationed^ in I>rlU'sli_Contral__Afica,_ Ii'o was fiercely attacked by a rhinoceros, which tossed him several feet into tbo air, having pierced-his chest somo inches. Leaving him for dead the \"rhino\" made oil, fully satisfied with tho-domago he luid dono. This attack, curiously enough, was mado without provocation. Captain Stigand lies in tho Nairobi Hospital, where he is receiving unround where it i orio Unit was showing in tho town, antl driven Ihrough tho principal sl roots, preceded by a band playing wedding marches. This pleasantry would seem to bo a fnvorlto diversion of tho good folk of Pittsburg, as tho son of a millionaire, who hntl himsolf a ponchant for .practical joking, experienced on his mnrringo threo years ago, when ho and his brido woro suizotl on tho way to the station, put into a largo*wire cage, and drawn through the town on. a waggon, to the''intense dolight of several thousand': peoplo who had been collected by tho aniiouncome.it of a circus parado, whoroof tho principal attraction wos \"a caged mad btldnl couplo.\" GYVES FOR NEW-WED JATI.ER. Tho marriage at Paris a few years ago of a man who held tho position of Jailer at one of tho prisons was mndo the occasion of a ludicrous db- luoii.slration on tho ~ part of his friends, who, on his leaving tho church with his bride*; seized ; tho couple handcuffed them, and escorted thom to their houso, followed-by a'''douse.' crowd, .who woro doubtless under the impression that tho pair weroiiosporato criminals. Of an even moro unpleasant jest was n veteran of over eighty, who wus married at Birmingham in tho early sixties to a girl of twenty, tho victim. On leaving tho church thero was found waiting not tho carriage they expected, but a closed hoarse, into which the old bridegroom was bundled, whilo his wifo was hoisted on to tho scat besido the driver. Tho vehicle wa.s ��������� then driven off at a walking pace, escorted by--a number of tho wife's friends, who had been greutly opposed to the match, disguised as mutes. CONFRONTED BY A COFFTN.

Tho coffin was brought forward. -.Tnto- it, despite his struggles, was the old man thrust, while his wifo, having first been stripped '' of her bridal finery, wns thrust inlo the cradle.' CoiFin and cradlo woro then placed upon a cart, which, . amid much laughter, was' drawn by tho throng to the respective homes of the bride and bridegroom, whore it was disburdened of its contents. ' r MADE FUN OF FAT FOLK. A laughable demonstration awaited tho exit* from a Boston, Mass., church of a 20 stono man who had just espoused a women of equal- weight.t The couple .wore with no littlo difiiculty forcibly placod on a railway trolley, whiehf drawn\"* by a team of fat oxen, proceeded on its way through tho streets, escorted by a number of mock mourners, each of whom carried tho advertisement of some woll known specific against . stoutness.- Thc.rear of the procession was brought up by a gigantic banner, on which wore depicted on a greatly cxaggcrulo'd scale the amplitudinous bride nnd bridegroom. , Tho fact of Jiis having married for monov a woman 20 years his senior afforded-tho-good-peoplo-of���������Dresden��������� an opportunity .of subjecting ono of the citizens to their humorsome * indignation.

HENS ON HIRE. . - A smart Californian farmer has made a remarkable' success in a branch of poultry-farming which is not only novel,\" but which he claims is doing a good deal to increase and improvo thc poultry-keeping of the country. As a branch of his poultry- farming ho announced some time ago thnt ho was willing to hire out good ���������laying hens to any, would-be poultry- keepers, and so great was the demand that very shortly ho decided to dovoto himself entirely to this business, nobogan In earnest last year, and this season ho had 10,000 young hens for lennding, nnd he hopes next year to have 50,000 lions. His method of business is to chnrgo throe cents (ljd.) for each dozen eggs laid by \"the hens lent out. When a hen ia non-productive. So far as the business has gone lt has been found that each hen on tho average lajs 150 oggs a year, tho money return for tho hire being just Is. 6-Jd. All the hens are white Leghorns. a Battle Royal at King's Palaco.

No Inhabitant was to bo seen in any direction. \"Some execution.\" we whispered. Just then we camo upon tho body of a woman which looked ns if it had heen trampled to tleatli on tho pavement. On we went. No citizen wa.s in sight, mid the houses everywhere wen: closed. Tho next thing wo saw was lhc figure of a -youth, lying dead upon the road. On tho I top of a neighboring house I spied ono of tho king's troopers,- intently looking up the rond. What is the matter?\" I called. Tho man-eater is loose. Wallah! ho has turned. Look out for your safety, sahibs. Ho is, wild to-day.\" I had heard of tho fierce animal owned by tlic troopci-s. \"Ho is coming! Tako caro!\" shouted the man. Far ahead wo could see tho brute, a large bay horso, coming toward us. Ho caught sight of tho vehicle, and rushed forward to attack. Wo turned rapidly round, and our horso, almost unmanagablc from terror, flew over the road. Away wc went in a mad gallop toward an enclosure with iron gates. As we sped wo could hoar tho furious clatter of hoofs growing nearer and nearer. We gained tho gates; my companion leaped from tho buggy ancl closed them. Tho monster rushed up and stood looking savagely, his nostrils distended, his glaring eyeballs as ferocious as any wild beast's. Ho saw that he was foiled, turned, kicked the iron bars, and mado for an archway, where a party of troopers was awaiting him. They skilfully noosed tho brute, muzzled him, and ied him away. That evening I mentioned tho incident ,to the king. , \"I have often heard of the man- eater. He must be a furious beast.\" \"Moro savage than a tiger, your majesty.\" \"A tiger! Good! He shall fight a tiger. Wc will see. 'what impression Burrhea will make on him.\" - Btiirhea was a favorite tiger, and had nover been allowed tb enter a contest in'which-he could not conquer The noxt, day iye,all assembled in a courtyard to see the fight. The man-eater was standing in - a groat enclosure made by bamboo rails. Burrhea's cage was brought, and tho beautiful creature was lot looso. ' - ** . The man-eater fixed his eyes on the tiger, lowered his head, and waited. The tiger bounded \"with rapidity and landed on the horse's haunches. Up went the iron, heels, and Burrhea lay sprawling. \" After this the tiger was'more cautious. Round and round the enclosure he went with catlike tread. For fully ten minutes he. kept up tho march, then, quick as lightning, sprang��������� 'The man-eater was ready, and ducked his head low. Burrhea leaped to his back, and in an instant those terrible iron heels were lashing up. and down. Tho tiger was thrown hofplessly to tho ground, and lay with broken Jaw, crying out with pain. The king gave a signal,_ the door of the cage was, opened, and the poor, defeated Burrhea rushed in and buried himself in tho farthest corner. The man- eater stood erect and triumphant. *>_- TO TELL A HORSE'S AGE. SHE WAS IN BED FOR THREE YEARS PAIN-RACKED WOMAN CURED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PIIXS. Strong Statement by Mrs. Jas.
