Some Tricks of the Type. “ What is this ?” exclaimed a com- positor who was expecting to be ap- pointed to a proofreadership shortly; “ ‘ sermons in stones, books in the run- ning brooks!’ Impossible! He means, of course, ‘ Sermons in books and stones in the running brooks,’ ” ard anew reading of Shakespeare appeared next morning. A sporting compositor thought that “Cricket on the Hearth " must be a slip of the pen. He made it “ Cricket on the Heath." ~A writer on angling had the joy of ' seeing his sentence “ the young salmon are beginning to run,” printed “the young salmon are beginning to swim," another thoughtful compositor having been at work. Happier was the transformation of the sentence, “ Bring too my toga ” in- to “ Bring me my togs." Owing to an error in printing the announcement, "A sailor, going to sea, his wife desires the prayers of the con- ;grcgation," became “A sailor going to ~sce his wife, deserves the prayers of the congregation.” The statement, “ Messrsâ€"r35 pre- serves cannot be beaten,” was rather vitiated as an advertisement by the omission of “b " in the last word. Innocently gay was the newspaper report which said that the London ex- press had knocked down a cow and cut it into calves."â€" Gosta Typographica. *0 Right After All. A head adorned with shaggy and unmanageable whiskers was thrust out of the window, and a voice that fitted the beard inquired : What is it ?” “ Oh, is this Mr. Higgins ?” came a still, small voice from the shade of the doorway below. “- Yes.” “ Please come to 414 High street just as quick as you can and bring your instruments.”- “ I ain’t no doctor; I’m a carpenter. Dr. Higgins lives in the next street.” And the window came down with a slam that told of former experiences of the same kind on the part of the humble artisan. But Carpenter Higgins had not got comfortably back into bed be- l'orc the bell rang again, and, uttering some remarks. he rose once more and went. to the window. . " Well, what do you want now ?” he ejaculated. " Please, sir,” said the little voice, “ it's you we want.

" That's what the story says.” “ Well, don't read any more of it to me. I don‘t like these insane asylum stories." “ But itisn’t an insane asylum story," she protested. “ Yes it is,” he asserted. “ If the hero who keeps a cooked revolver in his desk isn’t an inmate of an asylum, the author who makes him do it ought to be. Why, he’s worse than the man who didn't know it was loaded." Q-~o Made Sure it Was Used. An old farmer and his wife, noted for their niggardliness, had a custom of allowing the servant only one match to light the fire with each morning. One morning the match failed to kindle, so the servant went to their bedroom door and asked for another one. A whisper- ed consultation was held between the two; then audibiy the wife said : ” Will ye risk her wi' aoithcr ane, John '2'" “I dnot we'll hae tae risk her, Janet," roniied John, “but be sure an seek a tidbit o' the one she got lust uicht.â€"â€" Landon .lnswers. ___. ... .. .....;-._....___ Correct Diagnosis.

The most strictly accurate and gra hic accounts of man eating tigers in India fail to convey an adequate sense of the awful terror which these terrible brutes inspire in the breasts of the un- fortunate villagers, whom they haunt like evil demons. In ordinary cases the tiger or leopard attacks the village herds more or less openly, and the herds. men, finding that the enemy will, as a rule, retreat on being shouted at with vigor, are not in bodily fear all the time, although I have known instances of the herdsman being killed by a tiger that he had presumed to interrupt while enjoying a meal from one of his cattle. They become more dangerous when they have tasted the blood of their vic- tim, and are not usually disposed to give it up without a fight. I remember the ease of a survey officer in India, who, being told of a “kill” near his work, went to inspect it unarmed. The tiger, disturbed at his meal, rushed out long flight the ofiicer, most fortunately for himself, tripped and fell into some long grass and bushes. The tiger’s at.- tention being drawn to the natives, who were climbing trees like monkeys in a hurry, he made for them, allowing the officer to crawl away in fear and tremb- ling as quietly as he could. But in the case of the man eater everything is different. Having discovered his power to kill the genus home more easilythan a big ape, he takes every possible ad- vantage of it at every turn. Neither by night nor by day are they safe, and life becomes onelong terror, for whether the natives are working in the fields or fetching firewood from the forest or water from the well, they know not at what turn they may be seiZed. Among the multitude of stories I venture to think that the following bears away the palm for gruesome hor- ror, and its truth has been confirmed from many sources. I had it from a relative, the owner of the tea estate in Assam where it occurred. S B was, not many years agoâ€"and, for all I know, still isâ€"the manager of a tea ardcn in Assam, where a man eater was‘in the habit of carrying ofi the estate coolies for his dinner, probably finding them much less trouble than a deer or a pig. At last, emboldened, no doubt, by unhindered success in obtain- ing victims, he took to carrying ofi‘ cool- ies who were sleeping on the verandas of the manager's bungalow. Many traps had been laid for him, the bodies of his victims poisoned, watchers with guns on the lookout over the killed men, but so great was his cunning that he had escaped them all. Everything having failed, things had become des- and some of his erate, and B the tiger on the veranda with native blankets disguising them, an exceeding- ] exciting business, for, be it remem- bered, no lights were allowed, and the brute cared nothing for numbers, so that his appearance might be too sud- den for unsteady nerves. One of the lanters, after they had sat a long time in breathless suspense, entered the house for something that he wanted, and, while looking for it, was startled by a sudden and terrible uproar in the ver- anda, which he had just left. Seizing his rifle, be rushed out to find all the party gone, but from the dark of the tea garden he heard the voice of Sâ€" B-â€"â€" calling out in agony: “Help! For God's sake, help! The tiger's got me! Help! Help!" Fixing his bayo- net, he ran toward the spot, and in the dim gloom made out the outline of the tiger dragging B , who was walking by its side, his hand in the bruto’s month. Withouta moment’s hesita- tion, be rushed up to the tiger, plunged the bayonet into its side, and at the same time pulled the trigger. The tiger fell, releasing Bâ€"â€"â€", and both rushed back to the house, but before they could reach the steps the tiger was upon them and again seized poor B , biting and clawing his back and shoulders in a terrible man- ner. It was mercifully an expiring cf- fort, for the brute fell dead before it could kill 13â€". It then transpired that the tiger had stolen in upon the watchers like a shadow, without the slightest warning, and had seized the nearest one. who happened to be B , by the hand, which he had raised to de- fend himself, and had commenced to drag him off. In his agony he rose to his feet, and was actually walking off with his hand in tho tiger's mouth, to be devoured. when his Irieud, by his courage and presenCo of mind, rescued him. The Other watchers, utterly pan- ic stricken, had made for the nearest door, and had it not been for the cool- would " Take "Ill dfiuil‘mr- 30"." 50°" 2 have been added to the long list of the h - ennui. .l'un'; li'celrlg. ._ . .. __.....-. _.._...
