[CopyriKht, 1804, by Charles 11. Lewis.] Wo had our camp on the outskirts of a town called Jajur, in the province | of Bengal, India, and had beaten up the country until game had become scarce. Wo had decided to move to a spot about 20 miles away, hut were waiting for letters from Bnrwa, when Captain Holt suggested a trip to an old ruin five miles off. 1 seemed to be the only one who cared to go, and at 10 o'clock in the forenoon we set off on horseback with a native guide running in advance. We ; had been in camp for 12 days and during that time had killed a man eating tiger, the only one, so the native declared, which had been heard of in the locality for several months. We went well armed, however, because there were wolves and hyenas about, and because of the roving bands of robbers, but wo had no idea of meeting a tiger. When we came to the ruins, the horses were left in charge of the guide, and for an hour or more the captain and I kept together as we prowled about. It was not the ruins of a temple, but the acres and acres of blocks of stone proved that a good sized town once flourished there. By and by wo came to a grassy open spot, which was also well shaded, and after a smoke the captain got up to stroll about. 1 had given my ankle a twist and decided to remain there until he had inspected some standing walls which could bo seen over the tops of the bushes. You may think it queer that one should fall asleep insucha place, where danger menaced on every hand, but that’s just what I did. 1 was tired and warm, and the day was hot and the

toss in the air. While he was thus engaged 1 got several good peeps at him. He was not a man eater, but a full grown tiger afid so sleek and slick that when a ray of sunshine played over him he shone like silk. His fangs were long, snowy white and sharp as needles, anti I took notice of his clean feet and beautiful claws. Ho played with the shako for at least 10 minutes and then sat up and yawned and returned to me. My arms were lying at full length on each side, and there was a rag tied around the little finger of the right hand. It had been bitten by a poisonous insect the day before, and one of the natives had crushed some leaves and bound it up. The rag attracted the tiger’s attention, and he lay down and liegan to lick at it. His rough tongue accomplished the work of a man’s fingers. In ill) seconds he had the rag off, and when his tongue struck the bare flesh, which was yet sore, it hurt as much as if a file had been drawn across. It was all I could do to bold myself, and fortunately for mo the beast did not fancy the taste of the poultice and so turned his attention
elsewhere.
I had on a long silk necktie, with flowing ends, and he now seized the end nearest him and bit and pulled at it and finally tore away several inches. His breath came full in my face, and 1 may tell you that you need have no curiosity about n tiger’s breath. Ho doesn't use anything to sweeten it, and a soup factory and slaughter house combined would smell sweet compared toit. His fangs were within a few inches of my exposed throat as ho worked away, and it was worse than hearing the pain
of a gunshot wound.
By and by the spur on my boot heel j attracted his attention. It was of brass 1 and quite new and reflected the rays of the sun filtering down through the branches above us. He licked at the metal and hurt his tongue on the rowel. Ho drew back with a low groAvl and for a minute or two seemed to be cogitating. Then he began licking at and biting the strap, which was also new and full of oil, and in a minute he had the : spur off my boot. He lay down and chewed tit the strap, as if he liked the taste, but after a time flung it aside ; and rolled over on his back, with his | paws in the air, and worked his body
about on the grass as
fleas.
The tigef was rolling and purring when one of the horses neighed. 1 was watching through half closed lids, and the move he made astounded me. Ho turned like a flash :uid bounded six feet into the air to come down on his feet, head to the horses, and for two minutes
hand fell down it rested on the butt Of the weapon. 1 might have killed the beast, or a sudden shot might have frightened him off, but it was hardly a chance in a hundred. Perhaps lie held me n p to m e If there was life !■ mo “m* was hoping I would make a move.

Two hours later we had formed a cordon around tho thicket and sent in the beaters.

came near being assassinated last night at the Union depot by C. C. Collins, who attempted to rescue the prisoner. No shots were fired, but Collins made an effort to get at his gun. The prisoner
was taken west.

I tended to, but got lost in tho thickets j and was two hours finding his way back I to tho horses. He might have been gone j from me 15 minutes when I fell asleep. , Oho only naps under such circmstanees, | and I may not have slept over 10 or 15 minutes when I was aroused by what seemed to bo tho purring of a cat, only j tho sound was much louder. I had never heard tho pur of a tiger or panther, but I realized in an instant that one or ; tho other had come creeping upon me as I slept. 1 was lying partly on my left ^ side, facing the west, and the beast had
crept up behind me.
j The first thing one learns in tho junI glos of India, the forests of Africa or on tho plains of the west is to “wake up carefully"—that is, to open your eyes, ! realize that you are awake and lio there ( , c 1 for two or three minutes and wonder if Sec Lceutiped or serpent is sharing your blanket or some wild Iw-ast watching for - your first movement to spring. I opened my eyes, but did not move a finger. The beast put his nose on my shoulder and snuffed at my face, and the long [ whiskers on his muzzle tickled my cheek, hut 1 did not move. Had I raised hand or foot the beast w'onld have seized me by the nock at once. He had found | me dead, as he believed, and he was in-
clined to investigate.
Unless the tiger or panther or lion is ! routed out of his lair in the daytime he is sleepy and good natured. He has had a hearty feed, his thirst does not come I on till evening, and if alarmed by any unusual sound he is more curious titan j resentful. This beast, as we afterward asci rtained, had his lair in a thicket and not 50 feet from where I was lying. fit 1 had heard our voices, got the scent of our cigars and in due time had crept out to investigate. Had the captain continued with me, smoking and talking, the visitor would have probably remain-
ed concealed.
After half a minute a paw was placed on my shoulder, and I was turned on the broad of my back. Through my eye winkers I got sight of the paw and saw that I war, in the clutches of a tiger. | For the moment I was rejoiced. A pan- I flier hasn’t tho good nature of a tiger I and is also more treacherous. A tiger will starve before he will feed on any thing which ho has not killed with his own paw, while a hungry panther will grab at anything which comes in his j way. Between tho two the choice was j with the tiger, and I really felt quite elate,1 over my “luck. ” When I had been turned on my back, the tiger sat dovyn like a dog and purred like tho great cat he was. I had on a hunting jacket with silver buttons. They seemed to be objects of curiosity to him, for he touched the six of them in succession and slightly pulled at each one with his paw. Aided by the power of his spring, 1 that paw would knock down a bullock, but it passed over me so softly that I xvas tempted to believe it tho hand of a
robber.
My shako was lying on tho stone above my head. The tiger pulled it down and began to play with it, as you have seen a puppy play with a glove or rag. Ho Ktrnek it with his right paw, then with his left, then jumped after it and seized it in his teeth and gave it a
captain or groom come up just then he would have surely been attacked. As the sound was not repeated, the tiger finally wheeled around to me, being not over five feet away, and lay down with his head on his paws and kept his eyes
on my face.
Even when one sleeps soundly ho must draw a long breath nowand then, if wounded or in peril, the desire to expel all the air from the lungs and take in a fresh supply becomes stronger than 1 can describe. Under ordinary circumstances it is simply the natural workings of the lungs, but when tho emotions are aroused a long drawn breath seems to relieve the strain on the mental and physical system. I dared not clinch my lingers nor shut my teeth
which would have acted
self for the “rising generation,” and Sunday sees her pale and wan from lassitude and headaches, glad to find rest in religious solace, if she be not obliged indeed to spend the holy day or a great part of it in calming the passions and striving to arrange the ceaseless quarrels and jealousies of that most restless and tantalizing of all societies—a coun-
try choir.
Honor to the district school, but honor more to the patient schoolmistress—to the sacrificing, gentle, yet firm and respecting maidens who take up the teacher’s role, and in the midst of trials unnumbered, of privations without end, of discouragements of all kinds, stick to their posts and make our youth of to- | day fit subjects for tho cares and responsibilities of the future.

With the glaring eyes of tlint tiger on me, the slightest move of a finger or the heave of my chest would have resulted in a spring and a stroke from his paw. It was no credit to me that I kept cool and held myself together. Life was tit stake, and I figured that after a bit the big eat would satisfy his curiosity and return to his lair. It may have been 10 minutes that he \ kept his eyes on me. Ho had ceased to ! pur when the horse neighed. I was glad enough when the sound recommenced, ; even though it brought the tiger over for another inspection. This time be put a paw on my breast and turned me on my face with a pull and a twist. 1 knew what was coming and did not resist in the slightest When I was over, the beast sniffed at the back of my head and then ran his nose down to my ankle. One leg of my trousers had pulled up, leaving my ankle bare, and ho gave the flesh a couple of licks with his tongue which made the tears start. Tho taste didn’t tickle his palate, fortunately forme, and ho began playing with me again. Once, as ho pawed at my breast, a claw caught in my jacket and out tho

Hutchins, an old circus and menagerie hand, who lias deserted the arena and ring for mercantile pursuits. ”1 remember once se veral years ago an effort being made to persuade a very docile lion to lio down with a lamb. The idea was certainly a good one, but it took several lambs and also several weeks before the lion, which was willing to jump through a burning hoop, sham death on being shot, etc., could be perBuudcd to allow a lamb to enter his den with impunity. Twico he killed a lamb in the presence of his trainer, and the second time ho nearly killed th« trainer, who recklessly tried to ge t aw at the carcass. Finally tho lion would tolerate a lamb in its den just as long as the keeper stood over it with an iron bar.

Fertilizer* For Grain Crop*. Experiments conducted under the auspices of the Ohio station and in various sections and covering several years justify at the present date these conclusions: The use of superphosphate and potash, separately or in combination, hut without nitrogen, has frequently caused a loss of ruin in crops of corn and wheat on soils deficient in vegetable matter. The yield of straw or stalks has almost invariably been increased by the use of superphosphate. The use of superphosphate has frequently and that of potash has occasionally been followed by a considerable increase of crop, both of grain and straw or stalks, on sod ground or land containing an abundance of decomposing vegetable matter. An increase of grain in the crop has gi nerally followed tho use of nitrate of soda, and this has happened in almost every case when tho nitrate has been used in combination with superphosphate or potash. When a complete fertilizer has been used, containing both phosphoric acid and potash, in combination with nitrogen, the phosphoric acid being carried in less active forms than bone black snperphosphate, an increase of crop has resulted in practically every case, hut at present prices of fertilizers and grain respectively this increase has invariably cost more than its value in the market
