TIGER HUNTING TO-DAY. The msharajah, or nizam, Who is #t{il [acky enough to have tigers fn his dominions knows full well how keen any visitor is to kill one, and to this end is zealous in their protéction. It therefore follows that unless you can get an invitation to the preserve of one of these potentates you are not | Ukely to get a shot at a tiger while in | India. It so happened that in March, | 1905, my friend and myself were lucky | enough to be given a beat in Hydera- bad (Deccan). The word 'beat' | misleading, when the district | in which we were allowed to shoot was | something between 1,000 and 2,000 square miles in area. | "Being the guests of the nizam, we | found all arrangements made in that luxurious style so peculiar to the Orien- tal. Our camp was pitched some four teen miles from the railway station. Here we found a large bell tent each, a tent for messing In, numerous ser vants, cooks, waiters and coolies to clean up the camp, besides a police guard and a guard of honor provided by the local cavalry, to turn out and | present arms whenever any of us show- ed our moses. The heat Is very great, but, our camp being pitched bemeath Some tamarind trees, we were always able to find some shade, and with every imaginable kind of drink, and a datly supply of ice, we grew to enjoy rather than to dislike fit. | "In these parts the usual method em- ployed to locate tigers is to tie up Young bulls overnight in the jungle; and they are visited next morning by one of the local shikaris (bunters), | Whe, if he finds a beast killed, reports at once to headquarters. Bhould the tiger visit any one beast, it will prob- ably be In the very early hours of the | morning. Having killed it (usually by | springing on the throat), the tiger will drag away the carcass to some thicker part of the jungle, where it will par tially devour it, and, having eaten what ft wants, lle down near it and steep, as it were with one eye opem, lest any other beast should wish to snatch a meal. "At about 7 in the morning the loeal @Gragged and studies life In the jungle near, to see what he can learn. The Vultures, if the jungle is not too thi: will have seen the prospect of a and will now be sitting in the over the remains If the tiger is still fbr hey will not venture pear #il Can get undisputed possession The monkeys, too, will show signs of wun- | easiness, and keep chattering In the | trees, and the birds will also testify | to the tiger's presence by anxious twit- terings. The shikari reports his find- | Ings and the beat begins. | "To us the number of natives seem ii | | ts remuneration is, however, very small, two annas (four cents) being the daily 'wage, with, usually, double pay should a tiger be killed. They always seem ed quite contented and trudged along through the jungle with nothing on but a loin cloth, even in the heat of the day. They took no food, but nearly all of them carried hollowed-out gourds, | in which they keep a supply of water." One Fifty-Millionth of An Inch. | Th recent science nothing is more remarkable than the refinement which has been made in instrumental meas- urements. Dr. P. E. Shaw recently ex- plained to the Royal Society on elec | trical micrometer which, it is stated, | can be made to measure the two-mil | Honth of a millimeter, or the: fifty- millionth of an inch. This measure ment, the smallest ever yet made, was in cenmneéciion with the movements of a telephone diaphragm. The problem was to find what movement of the aiapl produces a sound which is only § audible. The measurement was effected by means of an electric eurrent connected with the micrometer and telephone.--London Standard.

While Mrs. Henry Wood was not skilful fn character drawing, she is said to have had in mind a former owner of Abberton Hall when she drew Ma Carlyle. This gentleman re- sesses many points of great histories interest. It is belleved to have been a chapelry as early as the twelfth cen- tury and is dedicated to St. Edburga, the saintly daughter of the Saxon King, Edward the Elder. From early childhood Edburga manifested deep re- ligious feelirigs, and these culminated in her assuming the veil of a nun in later years. It is told of her that when one day her kingly father offered her glittering jewels and gold In one hand and a book of the Gospels and a cha- Nee In the other, she chose the latter It was inevitable that such a pious woman should have miracles associat ed with her name, and many are re- ported to have been wrought in re mote times around her shring at Per shore. The present church building 1s not the one in which Edburga worshipped There have been two restorations, but some portions of the windows of the old church still remain, and there is a Norman font which is well preserved. although credibly reported to be 860 years old. There are many magnificent tombs | of the Sheldon family, both at Abber- ton Church and at Beoly Those at | Abberton date from 1669 and are under the western tower of the church. The | register of the church is also full of curious antiquarian interest, for it goes back to 1661 and has been carefully | kept by a succession of rectors. The manor hall of Abberton is situa- ted within easy distance of Birming ham, and. the grounds march on the south side with the estate of the Duke of Orleans. It stands on an eminence surrounded by fine forest trees and commanding views of the Malvern Hills, the Lench Woods, the fertile and charming Vale of Evesham, and the Cotswold HHls. The hall is a com- modious building, and the most inter- esting relic of its early days is a stone Biisal with the date 1619 carved on it Flevel Manor, which Is also situated in the parish, was once the property Guy de Beauchamp, Earl of War ck, who, however, lost it in one of e social and political upheavals of s time.

GRETNA GREEN. Boom Hits the Border Village and Ro- mance Has Come Vigorously to Life Again. Gretna Green, the little Scotch vil lage just across the border from Cum- berland, is witnessing a revival of the weddings which made it famous in the romantic days of yore One Peter Dixon, a carpenter, is playing the role of the blacksmith of tradition, and so well does it pay him that he has aban- domed his trade to devote himself ex- clusively to the tying of nuptial knots for couples who are in a hurry to get "spliced." Dixon is a good type of the canny Scot, of middle age, with shrewd eyes, iron gray hair, and a mouth screened by a full beard that can well keep it owner's own counsel. He was not at all adverse to drinking at a stranger's expense, but not even Scotch whiskey, that most potent emcourager of loqua- city, could induce him to be communi- cative about his singular occupation. anything published about my business," he said "But publicity would increase your-- your business."

When the names of great lords and ladies began to be mixed up with such romances, weddings at Gret- ma Green began to be almost as fash- fomable as are now those at St George's, Hanover Square. Fifty such marriages In the course of a month were by no means unusual at one time. The little Dumfries village to which these infatuated folk made a dash, some of them with indignant parents and guardians at their beels, is a dull little place at the head of the Solway Firth, about tem miles northwest of Carlisle. In its palmy days of romance panting young couples sped furiously along the road through the fir planta tions and over the dreary "debatable land" of bog and peat. The beginning of the end of the journey was the bridge over the broad English Esk then came two level the debatable land and finaly the actual Scotch and Engitsh boundary, the little stone bridge over the Sark, beyond which lay hereafter. had anything to do with it is the ex- istence of the tradition itself. Reflected Glory. A gentleman sojourning in Edinburgh many years ago, having heard mueh of the eloquence of the members of the General Assembly, paid an early visit to it. Next to him sat an elderly, hard-featured, solemn-faced man, who was leaning with both hands on a heavy stick, which he eyed with great concentration. Soon the stranger's at- tention was riveted upon the speaker who had opened the day's discourse. The wonderful command of language he possessed, combined with his elo- quence, excited the listener's curiosity. "Can you tell me who {is speaking now 7" he asked eagerly, turning to the sober-faced old man beside him. "Who's speaking now?' echoed the old man, lifiing his eyes from the contemplation of the stick to fix them in contempt- uous amazement upon his interlocuter. "That, sir, is the great Docther Chaw- mers, and I'm holdin' his stick." An Old Roman Altar. A perfectly preserved Roman altar, four feet in height and of square for- mation, has been discovered at the site of an ancient Roman camp at Newstead, near Melrose, England. An inscription upon it in accurately chis- eled Roman letters reads, "To the great and mighty Jupiter, Carolus, centurion of the twentieth legion, the valiant and victorious, cheerfully, willingly and de- servedly paid his vow."
