Trapping The Tiger. r
Strangely enough, the simplest animal '
to catch alive is that fierce and ferocious v
creature, the tiger, the strongest, bravest P
and quickest of all wild beasts. In fact, '
says Prince Sarath Ghosh, the author of 1
"Wonders of the Jungle," the tiger is of- lJ
ten caught with birdlime 1
The sap of the assad tree makes a paste c
more sticky than glue, and the natives tap j*
several trees and collect a large quantity
of the sap. Also, there are many tropical
trees that have tough and coarse 1
leaves about the size of a man's hand ;
and the natives gather plenty of those '
leaves. Then they select a tali tree in
the jungle, the lowest bough of which is s<
about fifteen teet from the ground. On 1
the bough they tie a tempting bait, gener- c'
ally a sheep or goat, freshly killed, so r
that the blood may still be dripping. Sl
Then they strew the leaves thickly over 11
the ground for several yards round the u
tree and pour the assad sap over the ir
leaves.
The tiger, prowling round for his dinner,
scents the blood and draws near. a
He sees the bait on the bough, and jumps P
for it. But the bait is out of his reach, w
He steps back a few yards, takes a run, ^
and jumps again. But still he cannot
reach the bait. The next time he goes ^
back several yards, takes a longer run, ^
and leaps with all his strength.
A tiger can at a run clear the bough of 1
a tree eleven or twelve feet high, but w
cannot reach out with his paws or jaws ei
more than fifteen feet from the ground. 0
So now he just manages to touch the '
bough, but cannot get a good grip on the
bait. C
Now he begins to notice that something
is the matter with his paws; they
are covered all over with leaves, which
interfere with his attempts to seize the t?
bait. Then he tries to get rid of the leaves tc
by wiping his paws on the ground. But r(
that only serves to catch up more leaves. c:
So he tries to wipe his paws on his body ; ^
that merely transfers the leaves to his a
body, and as soon as he puts his paw tc
down on the ground again he picks up
more leaves. In this way the leaves be- ir
come stuck all over his body. n
Now an intelligent animal like the elephant
would think it all out and come to
the conclusion that something was wrong b
with his method. Not so the tiger. The 11
tiger never changes his habits. Because
he is accustomed to wipe his paw on the h
ground or on his own body, he cannot a
think of anything else to do. Also, it 11
never occurs to him to walk away from
the tree before wiping his paws.
At last, gemg quue impaneni, ne oe- ~
gins to wipe his paw on his cheeks?as Sl
every cat creature does. Then real
trouble begins. The leaves accumulate
on his cheeks and the sap gets into his ^
eyes. That causes intense pain and
temporary blindness. A\addenecf with
the pain, the stupid tiger lies down and
rolls over and over on the ground, as
* cats always do. That is the last piece of d
folly. Covered from head to foot with w
leaves and glue, the tiger leaps about v
?- frantically, and soon dashes his head c
|i against the tree. Then the wily natives b
' rush from their hiding place, throw a net b
over the helpless tiger and carry him off. d
They put him into a cage, the floor of
which is covered thick with sand, and let c
him wipe himself clean by rolling in the p
sand. Later they throw buckets of water
over him and scrub him with brushes b
attached to long poles. Then he is clean tl
enough to come to Bronx Park. ii
[ An old man, over 70, recently walked
ten mtles from his home to Norwich, c
Conn. When he reached his destination h
he was greeted with some astonishment
by an acquaintance. q
"You walked all the way !" exclaimed F
the latter. "Mow did you get along ?"
"Fine," said the old gentleman ; "that
r is, until I came to that sign out there,
i- 'Slow down to 15 miles an hour'?that js
kept me back some." tl

The Birds' Time-Table.
When we consider the great distances
ome birds travel and the dangers they
encounter by the way, it is remarkable
hat they usually arrive on time.
That the daily trips to and from the
oost should be made regularly is not
urprising. The birds have only a short
t ay to go, and they leave soon after dayireak
and return just before dark. But
vhen, year after year, the bobolink, the
Jaltimore oriole, the midget hummingird,
many warblers, and other birds arive
from journeys thousands of miles in
jngth on exactly or nearly the same day,
ask how they can possibly be so
rompt.
In order to answer this question we
tust know something about the birds'
me-table. Any one who has studied
le birds about his home for many years
an make a time-table giving the dates of
rrival and departure of all the migratory
irds which visit him.
In this time table we shall notice that
ie early birds?those which come in
\arch?are much less prompt than the
iter ones?those which come in May.
his is because the weather of March is
rv mii/?Vi mnra imr'arf^m thin (hit of MllV
i some years, near New York city, snow
overs the ground and the ponds are
ozen almost until April. In others, the
now melts and the ice disappears before
le middle of March. But by May 1, the
eather is more settled. The first week
i May of one year is much like the first
reek in May of another year.
So it follows that the exact time of the
rrival of the birds is more or less deendent
on the weather. It is not the
eather which induces them to come,
/hat can the Baltimore oriole in Central
merica know about the weather near
lew York City? Not a thing. He leaves
entral America without regard to the
eather there or any other place. But
is journey may be delayed bv bad
eather or hastened by favorable weathr.
If, therefore, he finds the weather of
ne year much like that of another year,
e is apt to reach the same place at about
le same time year after year.?Frank

Harmonious Neutrality.
A correspondent sends us this story,
iken from a Swiss humorous paper: A
!w soldiers who belonged to a Swiss
?giment in garrison at Basel went to a
afe for refreshments. One of them sat
ow n alone at a table. Later a civilian,
German, joined him, and the two began
) talk.
"Would you fire on the Germans if they
ivaded Switzerland ?" asked the Gerlan.
"Oh,no,never !"exclaimed thcsoldier.
"Waiter, something to drink and a
eetsteak with potatoes for this brave
lan," ordered the civilian.
"And your comrades at the next table,"
e went on,?"would they also not shoot
I the Germans if they tried to invade
lis country ?"
"Certainly not!" was the reply.
"Is that the view generally held in the
wiss army ? Are all the Swiss soldiers
o Germanophile ?"
"I don't know," replied the soldier.
"But why would you not fire at the
iermans ?"
"Because we belong to the band."
? ?
Too Canny For The Thief.
A Scottish farmer was selling wool one
ay to a carrier, and after weighing it he
/ent into the house to make out an inoice.
When he came back he missed a
heese that had been standing on a shelf
ehind the outer door. Glancing at the
ag of wool, he observed that it hadsudenly
increased in size.
"Man," he said to the carrier, "I hae
lean forgot the weight o' that bag. Let's
it it on the scales ance mair."
The carrier could not well refuse. The
ag was of course found to be heavier by
ie weight of the cheese inside. A new
ivoice was made out, and the crestfallen
arrier went his way.
The farmer's wife at once missed the
heese, and, rushing to the yard, told her
usband that some thief Had stolen it.
"Na, na, Meg," replied the farmer
uietly. "I hae just elt the cheese for
AO shillin's the pund."
One Result Of The War.
A delightful old lady of a little town in
.'ebraska was discovered one morning in
ie act of killing a chicken.
"Why, Mrs. Brown, I thought that you
/ere afraid to kill a chicken," said a
eighbor in surprise.
"Yes, deary, I did useter be, but since
tie war broke out I've done it right smart."
"I don't just understand you; what
oes the war have to do with it?"
"Well, you see, it's this way : I useter
tiink that bloodshed was an awful thing,
iut since I've been read in'about all them
ien-killin's in Europe I just get a rooster
iy the feet, lay his head on the block and
ay to myself, 'Now, Sarah, 'tain't near
o bad as killin' a man. Where's ycur
erve ?' And then I just shut my eyes
nd whack."

ROYAL BAKING
New ^
Irish Ingenuity.
Several years ago, w riles a Companion
subscriber, a friend of mine spent the *
summer in a lonely part of northern Ire- re
land. She had most of her supplies sent "
from London, for there were no good
shops in the neighborhood. J<
On one occasion my friend ordered a w
small box of groceries?only a tew dol- 01
lars' worth?from London. It was very
long in coming, and after the lady had 'a
made several fruitless visits to the station
she traced the parcel to another little sta- sl
tion not far away, to which it had been hl
missent.
So she hired a young Irishman, Johnny s'
Alger by name, to take her over in his a
cart. When she arrived at the station she
discovered that she had left her bill of 1
lading at home, but supposed that she hl
would have no trouble, since she and the
station master had corresponded about
the parcel. But the agent, an old man f<
with a great sense of his authority, shook p
his head. oi
"And I can't be after letting yez have L)
it without the bill ot ladin'," he said. ^
"But," my friend protested, "we have y
corresponded about this box. You know b
it is mine." _ c'
"1 know notlmi' but that without the
bill of ladin' yez can't have the box." j>
"I forgot my bill of lading; I left it g
home," explained the lady, whose patience
was ebbing. p
"It's against the rules to deliver a pack- p
age without it. Yez can't have it "
"But I have already paid Johnny Alger sl
twice what the groceries are worth to
bring me over after them. I can't come
again. Won't you please give the box to
me ? I must have it."
"Ah, and I'll read the rules again, but _
yez can't have it, that I know," said the
agent as he stepped back into his tiny office.
Presently he reappeared with a
radiant face.
"Would it hurt the box now to open it
and take out the things?" he asked.
"No, of course not."
"Well, the rules say yez can't take the
box without the bill of ladin', but they
don't say nothin' about the things in it."
So the box was opened, and ten minutes
later my friend was driving home
with its contents, and the station master
was congratulating himself on the ease
with which he had satisfied both the lady
caller and his own conscience. What b
subsequently became of the box my friend
never learned.
