WALKED WITH A TIGER
THE BEAST HAD DECIDEDLY THE
BEST OF IT.
EXPERIENCE IN A JUNGLE.
A Frightful Tale of One Who Had
Been Deserted Between Sta
tions—A Blood-Freezing Walk
in Pitch Bareness With aMan
eater.
The headquarters of the Blank-shire
regiment was at Kampoonah, a delight
ful station in the Himalayas. We had a
couple of detachments down in the
plains, ana pitied the poor fellows
whose fate it was to be in the midst of
that awful heat. Another thing
cholera was pretty bad that year down
in that sun-baked land, but showed no
signs of creeping up to our cantonment,
says the New York Recorder.
Harris and 1 were chums. One day
we were sitting out on the veranda of
the bungalow we shared, smoking and
looking past the deodars out at the great ;
range of snow-capped mountains that
towered up into a cloudless sky. A
sound of footsteps on the path made us
both turn, and we saw an orderly march
ing quickly toward us.
"What the deuce does the fellow
want?" questioned Harris. We soon
knew. The colonel wished to see us
in the orderly room. We wondered
what the dickens the chief did want
with us. but we buckled on our swords
and were soon following the orderly.
"1 am sorry, gentlemen," said the
colonel, as we "retired from the orderly
room, "but you must both pack up your
traps as quickly as possible. The two
subalterns at Foornool— oue of the sta
tions—have been invalided up here, and
you two will have to, relieve them. I
shall want you to start tonight."
It was a terrible blow to our hopes
and plans, and as we went back to our
bungalow there was language used that
does not bear repeating. But there was
nothing to be done but to obey, and our
servants were soon busy packing our
small belongings. Our "tats." or
ponies, were sent on in charge of the
grooms during the afternoon, and after
mess we bade good-bye to our brother
officers, and, getting into our palan
quins, soon left the merry scene behind
us, and by morning reached Khamsi,
a station a"t the foot of the hills, where
we were made welcome by the few offi
cers in the garrison. They were a sal
low, washed-out-looking lot of fellows,
but seemed utterly indifferent to the
cholera, which was working sad havoc
all around them. We waited here until
sundown before continuing our jour
ney.
A mile or so out of town found us

traveling along a road with a dense ]
jungle on either side. The torches 1
threw i^ weird, uncertain light on the i
liigh grass and bushes that bordered the .
road. The carriers" spoke in under- i
tones, and I soon fell asleep. It was <
near midnight when I awoke, owing to i
the sudden stopping of the men. 1 was ]
out of the palanquin in. a moment, aud ;
then learned that something was the i
matter with Harris. I went to his
palanquin and found that the poor lei- i
low was evidently down with cholera. •
The rascally carriers had learned that, 1
too, and in a body the whole lot had de- 1
serted us, as is the. habit of these crea- <
tures. 1 had provided myself with some
chlorydine. and gave Harris a corking 1
dose of it. It must either kill or cure, ;
Then 1 wondered what was best to be <
lone, and determined to get to Rhauisi 1
and summon aid to get Harris back to I
hospital. i
1 told him my resolve. We shook <
hands without saying a word, aud I ]
closed the door of his palanquin. I
stepped out briskly along the road. 1
sometimes breaking" into a dog-trot and 1
trying to break the solitude by whist- I
ling. As I trudged alone I heard' now <
and again a crash in the jungle close by, :
denoting some animal that had been dis
turbed, probably at his meal. I
Alter a time a feeling came over me
that there was something walking 1
abreast of me in the forest. If 1 stopped i
the noise ceased at once. ,1 tried to think I
it was only my imagination, but the con- :
vlction grew* stronger and stronger.
There was something keeping me com
pany. The moon bad risen, and shone
on the road, throwing dark shadows of
the trees across the path and lighting
up open patches in the jungle, only to
make the remainder look darker by
comparison. It was when passing one
of these open spaces that 1 saw my com
panion. My heart stood still. Mot fifteen
paces from me stood a tiger, a very giant
it looked, watching me cruelly and '
switching its tail from side to side.
What was Ito do? With my thoughts
full of my sick chum. I hail not for a '
moment thought of arming myself as 1 i
started off on my midnight walk. All 1
had was a light stick. Tliere was no
good in going 'back. The only chance
to succor was in front, so 1 pushed on.
1 expected every moment to see the
striped brute making a spring from out ]
of the grass. It was, no doubt, enjoy
ing my torture, and was just playing
with me. Suddenly the brute seemed •
to have left me, and I hurried along the
road, wondering doubtfully if such was
my fortune. All hope was soon dashed
to the ground, for, as 1 turned the cor
ner, I came to a sudden halt.
There iv the middle of the road
crouching on his haunches, growling
slightly, with tail switching from side
to side, was the tiger. We looked at
one another ami 1 thought I would try
and frighten him. I rushed forward.
waving my arms like windmills and
yelling my loudest, It did frighten
him, and he dashed into the jungle,
while I ran forward, hoping to find
some refuge. There was not a tree
around that would have given me
shelter, and, furthermore, had there
been one, I don't think 1 had the
strength to climb it. 1 did not believe
1 bad effectually scared the tiger, and
soon 1 was sure of it, for I caught the
sound of it as it pushed aside the thick
undergrowth, and then, when 1 came
to a straight, level stretch of the road,
1 saw the brute spring into the middle,
just where the straight ended, and
crouch down again.
J tried the frightening tricK again, but
it only brought me nearer him, and
made him growl more loudly and
fiercely. 1 stood still; great beads ot
perspiration broke out all over me; I
felt as if my veins were about to burst.
With an awful choking sensation of the
throat I saw the brute look over his'
shoulder, Then all was lost in oblivion.
I had fainted dead away.
When I regained consciousness white
men were'dashlng water over my face
and chest, and as I looked around some
one poured strong brandy and water
down my throat.
Had 1 been dreaming? Was I still
dreaming? were my first thoughts-., but
it all came back to me gradually.
It was the fainting that had saved
me, for those around me were some of
the officers from Rhamsi, who,' hearing
that the bearers had returned to town
and deserted us. knew that we must be
in some fix in the jungle. They had
immediately made up a rescue party
When they came up to me they saw
standing over me, the tiger, which,*
seeing the strength of the new arrivals,
skulked off into the jungle with a bullet
or two whistling near to hurry him on
his way. Harris recovered rapidly, but
it was "a long time before 1 got over the
mental strain of that awful midnight
waik with a tiger.
AN EXTINCT PIS 51.
It Seems to Have Been Externai
ated by Sudden Cold in 1882.
Forest and Stream.
The national museum has issued an
extract from its report for 1888-89 re
lating to animals recently extinct or
threatened with extermination, and rep
resented in the collections of the
United States national museum. F.
A. Lucas is the author of that very in
teresting illustrated paper. He
treats of the West Indian seal, the Cali
fornia sea elephant, the walruses, the
European bison, the Arctic sea cow, the
mamo or Pacific sickle bill, the Cali
fornia vulture, the dodo and the soli
taire, the Labrador duck, the great auk.
Pallas's cormorant, the Galapagos and
Mascarene tortoises and the tile-fish.
Nearly all of these animals are figured,
the last in colors.
The tile-fish was discovered in 1879
by the late Captain William H. Kirby,
Gloucester, Mass., while fishing for
cod about eighty miles south by east of
Norman's Land.- Late iv the same year
the lish was described by His. Uoode
and Bean. The tile-fish, on account of
its large size, great beauty, abundance,
edible dualities and activity in taking
the hook, soon came to the notice of
people in Boston, New York and other
Eastern cities. The newspapers wrote
it up. Forest and Stream illustrated it;
epicures passed favorable judgment
upon its flesh; it was supposed that a
new and highly important lish had been
permanently added to our store.
The fish "commission steamer Fish
Hawk on one occasion took seventy
three tile-fish, weighing 541 pounds,
and presenting masses of lemon yellow,
brown, black and white, such as may be
seldom equaled on a vessel's deck.
The tile-fish is one of the most re
markable among fishes in having a large
soft (or adipose) flu on the top of its
head behind the eyes. Mr. Lucas tells
the story of its sudden and total dis
appearance early in 1882, as detailed in
the "History of the Tile-Fish" by Capt.
J. W. Collins. Vessels arriving at
Philadelphia, New York and Boston in
the month of March and April reported
having passed large numbers of dead
fish covering a water area of many
square miles.
The Navarina sailed "for no less than
150 miles through water dotted as far as
the eye could reach with dying fishes,"
and most of these victims were tile-fish.
The explanation of this wholesale
destruction of life.as furnished by Prof.
Verrill, is connected with sudden lower
ing of the temperature of the belt, ot
water inhabited by the fish by encroach
ment upon it of the Arctic current on
the one hand and the cold sea depths on
the other. Since the fatality noted
the tile-fish has not once been taken in
its former haunts, although systematic
and diligent search was made for it;
neither lias the fish appeared elsewhere
as far as we know.
The information contained in the
article of Mr. Lucas cannot fail to prove
interesting to all lovers of nature.

taught her to drop letters down' the
mail chute in the office, and he and
Lucy are very proud of the achieve
ment. It nearly brought them to grief
one day. The office boy iv one of the
upper offices is deeply enamored of a
pretty type writer on the floor beneath,
and occasionally, so rumor says, .in
dites tender missives to her.
The other day, when he was wrltting,
he called Lucy to him before the letter
was ready to mail. Lucy sat there ;on
his writtfng table for some time, and'
the boy seemed iv no haste to finish his
esplstle.
FinallyJLuey could stand it no longer,
and snatched the open page in her beak
.flew through the transom to the mail
chute in the hall. The open letter was
too big to go iii. Lucy knew her duty; ■
that letter must go down, so she flew to
the elevator shaft and dropped it gently
down, then flew away with a trium
phant "caw."
The office boy was in despair. He
tore madly downstairs only to find that
the engineer, who had been oiling the
top machinery of the elevator, had
caught the letter and was reading It
aloud to an interested audience, among
which was the office boy's hated rival,
the elevator boy.
Lucy tights very shy of the office boy
now. 'Dolptius says Lucy can under
stand every word he says, so it may be
that she understood when the office boy
announced that if he caught her he'd
wring her neck. '

ASSAILED BY WOLVES.
How Three Brothers Came. Near
• Being ..men Alive.
London Graphic.
Not many years ago the center of the
lumber region every winter saw large
camps 'established. Among the em
ployes at one station were three brotn
ers, as fine specimens of humanity as
could be seen in a day's march. Soon
after the snows fell they had a griev
ance, some difference of opinion with
the boss, or head man, so they resolved
to leave and make their way to the near
est settlement, a distance of about three
days' journey. The snow was not yet
in good order for traveling, being ex
ceedingly loose and powdery, the result
of the lowness ot the thermometer, no
thaw having occurred since it fell.
However, our adventurers were lusty of
body and stout of heart; so sunrise one
brilliant morning saw them start, carry
ing but a light "pack" and only armed
with their axes.
As they slowly progressed through
the pathless forest they became aware
that it was becoming sensibly
colder, but this was not a matter
of great import to them, for
there were sheltered nooks to be
found and fuel in abundance existed on
every side. The pine forests at this
season of the year are very silent, tor
nearly all the birds have emigrated to
warmer climates; even the wild quad
rupeds seem to be affected by this
silence, and, with the exception of the
bay lynx and timber wolf, all have lost
-their voices. On the third day. as the
woodmen were passing along the mar
gin of a cedar swamp, they became
conscious of the vicinity of wolves by
hearing an occasional yelp.
The animals are so little dreaded by
mature human beings iv this country
that the travelers scarcely paid atten
tion to the circumstance, but when they
had gained a well timbered ridge a cry
was heard in the distance, as if a mack
of fox hounds was in lull chase of game.
The lumbermen at once concluded that
the pursuit was after a moose or cari
bou, and, with natural curiosity, halted
with the hope of witnessing part of the
hunt. This they did sooner than ex
pected, and in a more disagreeable way
than anticipated, for, coming up the
slope which they had already traversed,
were distinctly to be seen several large
wolves.followed by a numerous retinue,
and, without a doubt, they were running
upon the men's trail.
No time was to be lost, immediate
action had at once to be taken, so the
three brothers placed their backs to a
giant tree, and, with their trusty axes,
resolved to sell their lives as dearly as
possible. The first onset was led by
lour most powerful beasts. Two of the
lumbermen, with adroit skill, disp osed
their respective foes; not so with the
third man. His leading assailant fell,
but before he could raise his ax he was
pulled down by tne other brute, and but
for his prompt presence of mind ha
must have been se*-jprely torn, if not
killed. Finding that his ax could not
further be used, the brave fellow
dropped it, threw himself on his knees
and buried his sheath knife in the ribs
of his assailant, .. This thrust was so im
mediately successful in its results that
in a moment after he had recovered his
former weapon and his position against
the tree.
In the meantime his brothers had
been busy; their coolness and dexterity
had done fearful execution, well attest
ed by the dead and maimed brutes that
surrounded them. The lesson that had
been taught the leaders began to tell
upon their tollowers, lor they now hesi
tated to charge home, but retained a re
spectful distance, which was soon fol
lowed by all retiring into the forest re
treats, doubtlessly conscious that lum
bermen could not be molested with im
punity. The truth of this story cannot
be doubted, for next spring the heads of
the slain were presented to the proper
authorities, to enable the brothers to
claim the royalty upon wolves' skulls.

HUMOR OP THE COMMONS.
The Honorable Members Have «
Quiet Fun Over Droll Blunders.
Manchester Times.
Sir John Lubbock, M. P., in a recent
address, described some amusing in
cidents of the house of commons. A
member from the other side of the
Tweed, alluding to the vote of £2,000.000
in support of the Afghan war, described
it as "flea -bit in the ocean." Another,
while advocating an increase in the
European troops employed in India,
remarked: "You may depend upon it,
sir, the pale face of the British soldier
is the backbone of the Indian army."
Mr. Sullivan once delivered a speech
on. the relative merits', of Irish and
Scotch whisky. He was complaining
that Scotch whisky was introduced into
Ireland and passed off as "genuine
Irish." "Tho stuff," he said, "is so
hot that it goes down the throat like a
torchlight procession."
In 1879 a yound Irishman got up very
late to speak on a particular subject.
He (Sir John) was sitting about six feet
from him. and to his surprise, was un
able to hear a word he said. He per
severed gallantly, with profuse gestic
ulation, and he was on his legs about a
quater of an hour, during the whole of
which time no one heard a single word.
He believed that the gentleman in ques
tion was very nervous, was simply
speaking to himself, and thought he
was talking loud.

Professional Wreckers Made Most-
Desperate Attacks on the Stock ' ■
List During the Week With \
Little Success— Great Improve
ment in Confluence.
; Chicago, July 15.— Wheat was wean-*' .
er today in spite of the heavy exports',
the bad crop outlook and the steady to
firm cables. The weakening factor
was the list of bank suspensions and
business failures. This was more than .
sufficient to offset the more favorable;
news in the way of exports and poor! ;
crop prospects, and after a moderate
display of firmness there was a gradual
decline of nearly half a cent, with a
subsequent slow and uncertain rally. . j
In some parts the conditions were un
usually favorably; the exports, from
both coasts for tne week were 4,125,000
bushels in wheat and flour, the largest,
it is said, with four exceptions, ever
made in one week in the history of our
•export trade, and shows the foreign de
mand to be on a gigantic scale, but with
little fuss or noise, as though buyers
were quietly picking up all they could
get. Fluctuations were confined within
> ! «c range, and the closing was about
%c lower for July.
In corn trade was light and fluctua
tions limited to He range. The close
showed little change from yesterday.
Local operators were inclined to sell at
the start owing to the financial troubles
in the Southwest, but the offerings
were readily taken by commission con
cerns. Though showers were reported
over the West, more rain is said to be
needed, especially through Kansas and
the central portions of this state. The
crop is said to be the most promising,
but the. past few days, owing to the ex
cessive heat, it was feared might
change the prospect in some localities,
Receipts, while liberal, were not nearly
as large as predicted.
Offerings of oats were light. Prices
advanced ,'.,e for July from yesterday's
close. September advanced 4 c and
closed steady, Receipts were leas than
expected.
A feature of the provision market is
the fact that the new speculative pro
ducts are not being traded in. which
is quite unusual at .this season of the
year.
"Charley" Wright was an open seller
of ribs. His sales for the last lew days,
it was reported, would probably ag
gregate 4,000,000 pounds. Lard re
ceived the lion's share of attention. It
was sold by the packers and after be
ing bid up 20c by Cudahy's broker, de
clined '27}.v>c from top prices. At the
close, compared with last night, lard
showed a decline of 5c for September
and 27Kc for October. Ribs are 25@
27K2coff. Fork closed at an advance
ot 15c, but with scarcely auy business
done in it.
Freights were slow, with light offer
ings of vessel room. Agents asked l^e .
for wheat and corn to Buffalo, but'
shippers only bid lc.

]\evv York.
New York, July 15. — It may. be
safely said that a very critical week, as
well as one of great significance, closes
today in the financial markets. Espe
cially in London it . had been expected
tnat 'the regular fortnightly settlement
of stock exchange accounts would de
velop serious trouble. Within a fort
night had occurred the violent break in
prices consequent on the India council's
move, and the feeling in London had
been very weak. This week was bound
to bring the -situation to a test. Al
though the monetary situation in New
York had grown a trifle easier,
it was feared that a further fall
in market prices would precipi
tate trouble. These double expecta
tions were reflected this week in a bold
and extensive movement oh both se
curity markets by speculative operators
for the decline. The movement was
conducted by the use ot every expe
dient known to professional wreckers
of values, including the reckless circu
lation of false rumors and sales ot
enormous quantities of "short" stocks;
but it failed almost completely. Neither
in London nor in New Yoik did the
anticipated disasters come to light. In
London there were perhaps a dozen
broker failures, only one of which,
however, was of any consequence, while
nearly ail were those of small business
men not members of the stock ex
change and described on the
London market somewhat con
temptuously as "jobbers." The
end of the week's experiences
has, therefore, been a distinct improve
ment in confidence, and confidence at
the moment is the one thing needful.
The incidents of the week have shown
-with unusual force how closely in these
days the world's financial markets are
bound together, in Cape] court and in
.Wall street the week's experiences have
been identical both as time and charac
ter. A difference has existed in the
fact that while New York has gathered
encouragement from the increasing
signs of the movement of foreign gold
in this direction, London -has regarded
with some apprehension the drain upon
its reserves. It is, however, hardly pos
sible that a steady improvement in the
American niavKets should not far more
than offset \v- London the incident of a
heavy specie export. In point of fact,
the Bank of England's gold balance has
for a fortnight been larger in amount
than at any period in the last fifteen
years.
In today's market higher prices were
recorded "at the opening of business at
the stock exchange, an advance of ,'„ to
% per cent Having been established in
face of the lower cables. The rise was
stimulated by reports that a new bull
combination has been formed with a
certain operator heretofore conspicuous
in industrial deals as manager. People
in a position to know thought the
rumors grew out of the fact that the
operator, who has been in a quiescent
mood of late, had purchased a line of
stocks on the break early in the week
for a turn. The Kansas bank trouble
and attachment of the mine property
caused a change in sentiment, and the
early gain was not only lost, but a net
decline of % to % per cent was recorded
for the day. The bank statement, with
its gain" in reserve, the first increase
reported since May 27 last, checked
the decline for a time, but at
the close the tendency was downward.
Chicago Gas was heavily sold by a
leading broker, and under his offering
the price fell to 61%. No special reason
was assigned for the selling. General
Electric also lacked support and fell
from 6534 to 67%, closing at 62%. Among
the grangers Northwest was notably
weak on the Schlesinger embarrass
ment. The common, after a fractional
advance to 101} 4 . fell Ito 98%, and let
off at 100. In the stock loan depart
ment New York Central lent flat. Bal
timore & Ohio and Burlington Qiiincy
at 2@3, Louisville & Nashville at 3,
Lake Shore at 4, Western Union, Rock
Island and Northwestern at 5, St. Paul
and Chicago Gas at 6 per cent for car
rying. The market closed weak. The
sales of stocks were 76,883 shares.
The Post says : One thing was pretty
evident from" today's bank statement
that institution money withdrawn a
fortnight since from bank deposits has
not yet been returned. The extraordi
nary contradiction in the statements
publicly given out by officers of savings
banks make this a somewhat delicate
matter for discussion, but enough of
these gentlemen have discussed the
situation frankly to give fair continua
lion to the belief that such withdrawals
had been very large. There is no sign
of their redeposit in the statement of
today. What this statement reflects is
material shrinkage in both loan and
j deposit accounts, the aggregate of
''. which, after deducting from the loan
: account the clearing house certificate
"cancellations are pretty much the same.
No doubt the breaking down of mar
gin's in Tuesday's and Wednesday's
markets explains some of the loan con
tractions; at any rate it must be evident
that the changes are chiefly local. The
i gain in specie has been au obvious ex
planation; the loss in legal tenders is
less plainly to be accounted for. Con
servative "estimates had reckoned at
least $1,000,000 net received on ship
ment from interior points ; it is not easy,
therefore, to explain the net currency
loss ot $878,600. Fortunately, the reserve
itself sho -vs a material gain, of which
the moral effect on the money market
may be considerable.

bakers': $1.10(51.45 for low grades iv
bags, including red dog.
Bran and Shorts— The market for
these commodities is somewhat excited
because of unusual inquiries from
abroad. It is well known that Europe
is short as to its fodder crop, and late
reports are truly alarming. It was re
ported today that the local mills had
contracted for months ahead for their
entire output of bran and shorts to go
abroad. Prices are hardly quotable,
but 75c to $1 per ton advance over quo
tations has undoubtedly been made
and perhaps more. Quoted at $7.75®

Condition oi" the .Money market
of the Continent.
London, July 16.— Discount during
the past week was quoted at lp for
three months and % for short. Money
was abundant. On the stock exchange
there was a dull tendency in every de
partment. Realizing that the failures
of the settlement just closed have
thrown on the market an amount of
stocks which, while the general weak
ness lasts, it cannot absorb,
dealeis will not increase their
commitments, preferring to seize
every chance to unload. The most ex- ,
perienced members of the stock ex
change believe that the financial
troubles are not yet over, and that the
next settlement will see firms ham
mered that got over the last settlement
by the skin of their teeth. English
railway securities closed with falls
ranging from %to -'- ; Brighton "A's"

A. Farmer Utilizes His Children
to Keep the Crows From Pull
ing Up His Corn.
Port Jervls (N. V.) Special to New York Sou.
A wrecking gang on the Delaware
division of the Erie railway was clear
ing up a wreck at Nobody's Block, not
far from Coshocton, last week, when its
attention was called to a curious, shrill
cooing sound which cauio at short and
regular intervals from a corn hold
directly across the Delaware river, in
Wayne county. Pennsylvania. They
made an investigation, and found that
the sound emanated from the children
of a German farmer, who had been sta
tioned around his cornfield to scare
away the *:rows from pulling up the
young and tender shoots of corn. The
farmer had been unusually well blessed
with progeny, his wife Having borne
him no less than twelve children, in
cluding four pairs of twins.
He had been yearly bothered with
crows in corn-planting time, and he had
adopted all the scarecrow devices in
common usage anion:: farmers, such as
placing stuffed straw men in the fields,
stringing twine over poles with bits of
white rags fluttering in the wind, etc.,
but the crows had become used .o these
things, and, crow-like, would post their
sentinels on lofty treetops to give warn
ing of danger while their companions
were at work uncovering the hills.
A happy thought struck the farmer
by which" he could protect his corn and
utilize his several offspring. Arming
two ot them with old tin pans each day.
he placed them in tin- field at at 4
o'clock in the morning and told them to
call out "Coo! coo!" and pound their
pans whenever they saw any crows
flying near. When the children became
tired the father replaced them with two
others, and thus by successive relays
the crows were kept away. This process
was repeated each day until the corn
was of a size sufficient to protect itself.
It was this strange noise, kept up all
day lone, from early morn till eve, that
made the Erie wreckers marvel. It is
said that this is the secoud year in which
the Wayne county farmer has protected
his cornfields with living scarecrows.

Will They Learn tho Harp?
The very strongly marked tendency
of our elegantes to revert to the fashions
of IS3O with regard to dress and coiffure,
says Vogue, has led to a revival of the
popular taste for the ham, the most
difficult and at the same time tuneful
of all instruments of music.
I doubt if the fad will become general.
For, in the first place, the . harp is even
more expensive than a grand piano,
and secondly, it "necessitates" very
perfectly shaped arms .on the part of
the performer.
Now, such arms and hands are rel
atively rare here, and there are but
few women who could care to take a
l seat at the harp uuless they felt con
vinced that their arms were beyond re
proach or criticism. were beyond re
