The Awakening Tiger.

Befwoen tho drowsy sleep of tho nocturnal animals and the hypersensitive sleep of those which spend their lives in constant fear of their enemies a place must be found for the form of slumber enjoyed by tlio large carnivora and that of domestic animals. The former have no enemies to fear except man, and the latter, protected by man, enjoy to the full tho blessing of natural rest.

Tigers are frequently found fast asleep in tho daytime. Native hunters have been known to track them after a "kill" to tho place in which they were lying fast asleep and gorged with food and to shoot them as they lie. When taking his midday repose in districts where it is little disturbed, the tiger does not always retire to a place of security, like the bear, or even the leopard, which usually sleeps on the branch of a tree. It just lies down in some convenient spot, either shady or warm, according to the weather, and there sleeps almost regardless of danger. They have been found lying in dry nullahs, under trees and even in the grass of tho hillsides unobserved until their disturber came within a few yards of them.

General Douglas Hamilton, when shooting in tho Dandilly forest, came upon a tigress and two cubs lying fast asleep on their backs, with their paws sticking up in tho air, under a clump of bamboos. When he was within a few yards of tho group, one raised its head and without moving its body quietly looked at him along tho line of its body between its paws. Tigers kept in captivity awakon gradually, stretching and yawning liko a dog.—London Spectator.

Utica's Unique Tollgate.

Utica enjoys the doubtful distinction of being probably the only city in the United States which has a tollgate within its boundaries or anywhere near it, for that matter. The old days of toll roads and tollgatos have passed away, and it is well that they have. The company which maintains the Deerfield gate has a legal status that cannot be done away with without the consent of those who own the property. The last legislature passed an enabling act which makes it possible for the parties interested to do away with the tollgate, and it is something to which the attention of the authorities may properly be directed.—

HIS AMBITION.

Just after the memorable three days of July, 18—, the floating population of Paris was modestly increased by the arrival in that city lrom his native province of Symphorien Baliveau.

The owner of this curious and not entirely euphonious patronymic was a young man of about 25 years, neither liaudsome nor ugly, fat nor lean—the tpye, in fact, that 0110 daily elbows on the boulevards and novw looks at twice.

I need not add, of course, that such was I not his own opinion. On the contrary, he was deeply impressed with the consciousness of his own charms and equally determined to profit by them for the attainment of tlia object of his ambition —notoriety. "Every thimr is in niv favor, said I10, "good locks, money and a determination to succeed. All I want is a short cut to celebrity. A duel will givo me that."

The next evening while ho was treating himself to a bavaroiso at Tortoni's a short, muscular individual, dressed in the latest mode, with a bristling mustache and a self satisfied air, took his seat at an adjoining table.

The provincial after a critical inspection of the newcomer rose from his chair, and saluting him courteously requested him to favor him with the address of his tailor.

Tho stranger glanced askance at his questioner. "Why?" inquired he curtly. "Because I am struck, monsieur," said Symphorien, "with the good taste of your costume. That green coat with silver buttons becomes you so admirably." ""Sou think so? Well, your wish can be easily gratified, for I chance to have a card of my tailor in my pocket. Behold it!" "Thanks, monsieur. May I ask if you have also tho address of your shoemaker in your pocket?" "Tho same thing is in my pocket, monsieur," the little man answered, with great suavity, and tearing out a leaf from his notebook he wrote 011 it the required address and handed it to Baliveau. "Is thero any more you desire to know, monsieur?" "Only this—your hatter's name, if I may bo so bold?" "That, I regret to say, sir, I cannot afford you tonight. I havo it at home, and tomorrow morning two of my friends will bring it to you if you will kindly oblige me with your address. "With pleasure, monsieur," replied Symphorien. "Here is my card." "And here, monsieur, is mine. "Nothing could bo better," thought Baliveau as, exchanging a polite bow with the stranger and paying for his bavaroise, I10 strolled leisurely out and down the boulevard.

Ho drew the card from his pocket, approached a lighted window, and on the little square of pasteboard, in clear, sharp etching, read, "Martial Roque." "Roque!" said ho, starting back and

paling visibly. "Tlio great duelist, who never misses his man, bur either spits him with a thrust impossible to parry or brings him down with a bullet sent evenly between the eyes. Bon Dieu! What a mistako I've made, all for the sake of a little celebrity. I'll be celebrated tomorrow, that is certain. But what good will it do me if I'm not thero to see it?"

A secluded spot on tfie Bois de Boulogne—less frequented in those days than now—agreed upon at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, proposed and accepted. M. Roque's friends announced that their principal, having the choice of weapons, selected pistols, and this formality over left Symphorien to his meditations, none of the cheerfulest, as you can see.

While ruefully reflecting on whom he could apply to in his dilemma, ho chanced to pull from his pocket the two addresses given him by Roque.

And without a second's delay he dispatched a message to MM. Staub and Sakosky, the fashionable tailor and bootmaker of that epoch, requesting their immediate attendance at the hotel where he was stopping.

Thirty minutes later they were there, and as a wise measure of conciliation— Symphorien was no fool, after all—he gave them an order considerably larger than they were wont to receive, even from their most extravagant customers. Then, the necessary selections and measurements made, he amazed them still more by demanding the amount of the bill, as he desired to settle it beforehand.

With one accord they protested against the need of so speedy a settlement. They had every confidence in monsieur's solvency and were not in the slightest hurry 1 "That maybe," replied he, "but 1 am. I have a duel this afternoon with Martia Roque, and, though I am no novice in such matters and have caught a swallow on the wing many and many a time, one cannot be sure with so dangerous an antagonist what may happen.

Stanb and Sakosky stared at each other aghast. Such an offhand proceeding took the breath out of them.

They reflected on the chance—most unlikely of course, but still possible—of his proving himself the better shot of the two. Roque owed them a regular pot of money, and if he should chance to fall by Symphorien's bullot, who would pay their bills?

Staub looked at Sakosky, Sakosky looked at Staub. It was enough. They understood each other. "Monsieur," said the letter, "in a

case liko yours the choice of seconds is a matter of great importance. May I take the liberty of inquiring tho names of those who act in your behalf?" "I havo none as yet," replied the young provincial. I shall probably take the first two soldiers I meet. Any one, in short. I have 110 acquaintances in Paris to whom I can apply. "Then, monsieur," said Staub, "I may venture to make you a proposition. Whenever I havo a leisure moment, I am generally to bo found in some shooting gallery where our skillful marksmen congregate. Therefore, as you arc unprovided with seconds, if you will condescend to accept my services and those of M. Sakoky"— "Willingly, monsicurs," interrupted Symphorien, who desired nothing better. "You anticipate my wish and save me an infinity of trouble."

Three hours later the two principals and their seconds, punctual to the minute, arrived at tho spot fixed upon for tho encounter. "What," exclaimed Roque, "ho has chosen you?'' "Ho could not do otherwise. You gave him our names and addresses, and as he knows no one else in Paris ho was only too glad to avail himself ot our services.''

Roque's sense of humor, small as it was, was so irresistibly tickled by the absurdity of tiie situation that ho laughed outright. Encouraged by his unusual geniality, Ins two creditors began eloquently to implore him to bo merciful. "Consider, monsieur," urged Sakosky, "if

customer, the loss it will be to both of us. A perfect treasure, who pays without bargaining and before the goods are delivered! These are hard times, M. Roque!" "And we have so many debts on our books, M. Roque," Staub added insinuatingly.

Thero was a parley. Roque was clearly perplexed. He stood a moment in thought, evidently wavering between passion and mirth. Finally he walked over to the outwardly calm Baliveau. "Monsieur," said I10, with a courtoous bow, "you are sharper witted than I took you to bo.'' V"Eh? In what way, monsieur?" Symphorien demanded. "You know how to save your skin without compromising yourself. But, see you, tell mo what made you so bent on a duel last night?" "Ambition," frankly confessed tho provincial. "I wanted to be celebrated and saw no other way. "Ah, you have the mania, too, then: So had I once—till I outlived the folly Well, no matter. You've courage, and your wish shall be gratified more easily and safely than mine was. Get into my cabriolet. When the}7 see us returning together, peoplo will say of you, 'Behold, tho only man who ever went out with Roque ami c:.i:ie back safe and sound!' Jump in before I change my mind, which would be all tho worse for you."

Then, agreeably conscious that b.o was tho object of universal attention, Baliveau proceeded to thoCafo de Paris —the restaurant most in voguo at that time—where I10 lengthily dined, knowing that every eye, from the waiter to the dame de comptoir, was fixed upon him with an interest and curiosity that satisfied, even bevond his anticipations, his thirst for notoriety.

Alas for the unstabloness of human felicity! Next morning there was a panif on the bourse. When I10 entered Tortoni's for breakfast, no one noticed him. I They were too much absorbed in tho profits and the losses.

It was the coup de grace to Baliveau's brief celebrity, and weary and dispirited ho returned to his province home.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. .,

(5®s "Great on tlio Spread." Not loug ago a youug Verruouter, who is said to be regarded as a geuius iu his native village, applied to the managing editor of a city newspaper of wide circulation for a position as reporter. "Havo you had any experience?" inquired the editor, with suspicious blandness. "Well,

reckon

have," answered

the young man. "And I can tell you one thing, sir, if you want a fellow that's great on the spread I'm the man for you. 1 guess any of the folks in Creektown would agree to that." "Indeed," said the editor in apparent surprise. "Yes, sir," said the young man. "Why, last winter, when the Widow Flanders' henhouse was burned to the ground, I reported it for the Creektown Spider. I had five columns of description, two columns and a half of notes and remarks and two woodcuts, showing the tracks made in the snow by tbe hens and chickens that escaped, besides two woodcuts taken from kodak views of the Widow Flanders as she appeared before and after the fire." As he finished this extraordinay statement the young man's face assumed a calmly expectant look, which it was the editor's painful duty to dispel.—Youth's Companion.

Hacked by Scripture.

From the Saunterer's London friend comes this little anecdote of a Glasgow minister. The reverend gentleman, having observed that one of his congregation was in the habit of gazing about the church during prayers, told him one day that he considered it would be more becoming in a worshiper to keep his eyes decently closed.

The man scowled. "Doesna the Scripture bid as watch as well aspray?" he replied. "And liou can a body watch wi' their een steekit? Na, na. I'll ust stan and glower aboot as I hae aye dune!"—Boston Budget.

Untied by Heat.

Tie a knot iu the middle of a hair, place it on your hand and close the hand so that the hair is completely covered by the Augers. A few minutes wiil suffice for the heat to loosen tho knot in the hair, and frequently it disappears altogether.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
