A Hunting Incident In the Jungles of India. Now and then a soldier has been found kneeling on, the battlefield as If about to take aim at theenemy, but stone dead. A bullet In the brain had converted him Into a statue of him self. Captain Forsyth in his "High lands of Central India" tells of a sim ilar effect produced by an explosive shell on a tiger. The captain while in the howdah of his trained elephant hunting a tiger saw the beast crouching under a bush on the bank of a ravine. He took aim and fired a three ounce shell at the tiger's broad forehead. To his sur prise, for the distance was but thirty yards, there was no result. Not a mo tion of the tiger acknowledged the shot. He rode round a quarter of ,a circle, but still the tiger remained mo tionless, but looking Intently In the same direction. Growing more and more amazed, the captain rode up near r with his rifle at full cock, but the tiger did not move. Then he caused the elephant to kick the beast The tiger fell over. He was stone dead. The shell had struck him full In the center of the forehead, burst in his brain and killed him Instantly. Ex change. t ' Power of the VfrlT. " . ' "I've Just been reading about the power of the will.

"A bullseye Is a bullseye" is an ex pression frequently used in connection with rifle shooting, but those unfa miliar with military rifle practice as at present conducted have little con ception of what Is meant by a bullseye on the regulation targets. The ranges at which shooting now takes place are 200, 300, 500, 600, 800, 900 and 1,000 yards. For these ranges three targets are employed. The first is target A, which is used at 200 and 300 yards. It is six feet tall and four feet in width, with a bullseye in the center eight inches in diameter. This is surrounded by a circle twenty-sis inches in diameter. Another circle Is forty-six inches in diameter. The bullseye counts 5, a shot in the inner circle 4, in the outer circle 3 and on the remainder of the target 2. The B target, which is used at 500 and 600" yards, Is six feet square. It has a twenty inch bullseye, and the first circle is thirty-seven Inches and the second circle fifty-three inches in diameter. The value of the Bpota Is the same as on the A target. The C target is used at 800, 900 and 1,000 yards. This Is rectangular in shape, being six feet high and twelve feet long. It is divided into three sec tions by vertical lines three feet from each end. In the center is a thirty-six Inch bullseye surrounded by a fifty- four inch circle. A shot in the bulls' eye counts 5, between the bullseye and the rim of the circle 4, anywhere out side of the circle, but within the six foot square, 3, and at either end of the target, but outside of the square, the shot counts 2 points.

The first horses of the western plnlns were probably brought there by the Spaniards. In 1545, almost fifty years before Jamestown was settled, Coro nndo, the Spanish captain was roam lug about the plains of New Mexico, and he tells of the dogs used by the Indians to haul their plunder on lodge poles, Indicating that they had no horses at that date. . In 1710 the Spanish again worked tholr way eastward across the plains, and their letters tell of the astonish ment of the Indians nt seeing the horses they had with them. The ex pedition was constantly losing horses, and there is little doubt that the first droves of western horses originated from these strays. In the early days upon the plains they were n great pest to travelers. Woe be unto the luckless camper who allowed" a band of wild horses to get close enough to his gentle horses, turned out for the nightj to sweep them off. It was almost useless to follow, for the call of the wild comes to the gentlest of horses when he is thrown with a band of his kind that have been born and raised free of all restraint. It is a well known fact that the lmrrlest one to "cut out." the lead er of them, all in a mad race across the prairie, Is the old, gentle, well hroken saddle or work horse once he gets a taste of such freedom.

"Ona of the most Interesting things that came under my observation wus the odd manner in which the people wore their hair," said a physician, de scribing a visit to New Guinea and the leading traits and characteristics of the Inhabitants, known as Tapuans. "One type wore the hair standing up from the head at a length of seven Inches or more. It was trimmed with wonderful reeularitv and with mathematical ac curacy. The hair was greased with cocoanut oil and painted red. At a distance it looked like a rising sun." Another type of the inhabitants who wear their hair in an unusual fashion was described. "Starting from the forehead," he said, "the hair is brushed back over the scalp and bangs down to the waist.. It is a perfeot mass, an intricate Jungle. I am sure it was never comoea, ana u was imoosslble to run the fingers throueh it. At a distance it looks like a cap with the visor turned downward. "One other odd type of nalrdressmg coiffure, if you will was observed on this visit. The hair was gathered at the front and back, then Drougut to gether above the head, where It was inclosed in a basket-like cylinder,. The end spread out about two Inches,. Ap parently these caps are never removea from the bead." Baltimore Sun.' Playing Greenhorn. "Why did you tell the manager "of that eniDlovment agency that you had Just come over?" said one servant girl to another. "You didn't, you know. You have bad three situations In New York." "I know that," said the girl. "I pre: tended to be green so she would try harder tfc eet me a good plact. At most of these agencies the managers have green girls on their conscience. The sharks in the business, of course, will fleece them, but the average man. aeer is sympathetic and gets them easy places to start with. I'll have a snap where I am going. The woman thinks I have Just arrived and that she will have to break me in. Breaking in means that she will do half the work, while I will Just stand around and look on. It pays sometimes to be a greenhorn." Philadelphia Ledger. China's Floating Homes and Their Low Caste Population. Stand beside the imperial custom house at Canton and let the eye range down the river toward Hongkong. As far as the sight can reach lie boats, boats, and again boats. These are no ordinary craft, mere vessels of trans port plying hither and thither, but the countless homes of myriad Chinese, in which millions have been born, lived and died. They are the dwellings of the very poor, who live in them practi cally free from rent, taxes and other burdens of the ordinary citizen. The Tankla (which means boat dwell ers), as the denizens of these floating houses are called, form a sort of caste apart from the rest of the Cantonese. The shore dwellers regard them as be longing to a lower social order, and In deed they have many customs peculiar to themselves which mark them as a separate community. How the swarm ing masses of them contrive to support existence Is a mystery, but their chief mode of employment Is in carrying merchandise and passengers from place to place. London Lady's Itcalui.

The Gems Vary Greatly In Size, Shape and Quality, When the pearls are taken from the dead flsh they are llrst sortvd accord ing to size. This is done by passing them through a set of ten small brass 6leves, called baskets, with meshes of varying eizes. Tearla of the first class that are perfect both In sphericity and in luster are called nr.!. Those of the second elas, that to the average ob server seem equally without Haw, are nnltarl, ami most of the pearls we see in the west and on general sale come under this head.

Kural Is the double or twinned pearl, which, when of good luster and sufficiently freakish shape, is sometimes enormously valuable. In this class the most wonderful speci men on record !s the great Southern Cross pearl, which Is in reality nine pearls naturally grown together and forming a perfect cross an inch and a half long. It was found off the coast of Western Australia in 1874. Many seed pearls and rejections, called va divu, are generally ground into chu nnm and used as an ingredient In a favorite sweetmeat. From China also comes a heavy demand for seed pearls, and In India bushels of them literally are used in the decoration of idols and sacred images and of weapons ns well. Everybody's. A STRIKE IN OLD EGYPT, There Was Trouble In the Building Trade In Pharaoh's Day. Egyptian history discloses the details of n labor difficulty at Thebes In the year 1400 B. C. The strike was in the building trades, and the strikers were masons. They were paid in rations, and they claimed that these were in sufficient to sustain them and their families until the following pay day. On the 10th of the month they laid down their tools and gathered behind a chapel. "We are hungry," they said, "and there are eighteen days before the next pay day.". They charged the paymasters with dishonesty, saying that they gave false measure. The paymasters charged the men with want f foresight In feasting too well while the rations lasted. '.After long discussion the men decid ed to return to work on condition that Pharaoh himself Investigate the mat ter. Two days later Pharaoh came tm the temple and decided that the ma sons should have their wages raised at once. For a little while all went well, but evidently the paymasters did not live up to their agreement, for on the 5th of the next month the strike was again In full force, and for three whole days not a tool was lifted. The strikers decided to go out to the public with their troubles, but they found themselves locked in the temple. Then they broke out and rushed into the streets, frightening pedestrians as they paraded the thoroughfares. Sheer-Luck Blake. The modern Sexton Blake climbed through the kitchen window, followed by his faithful ally, Bunny or was it Watson? "Ah," exclaimed Blake, surveying the surroundings, "I find that his wife is away!" "And how long has she been away?" asked his ally. "Exactly thirty days.' "And how on earth are yon able to tell that?" "My dear fellow) by the unwashed dishes and cups and saucers. There are ninety of each in alL which shows that he has used three a day for thirty days and left them for her to wash when she comes home same as we all do. Simplest thing in the world, my dear fellow; simplest thing in the world!" Early Method of Curing Skins. The original process of curing skins was probably the simple one of clean ing and drying them. Removal of the hair by maceration In water seems to have been common among the very early tribes, and one writer has sug gested that the Idea was obtained rrom the natural process of depllatlon. They must certainly have been familiar with It in the case of drowned animals, where maceration can be plainly ob served. Following this smoke, sour milk, oil and the brains of the animals themselves were found efficacious. Many of these primitive methods are employed In remote phices at the pres ent time.

' A Breslau paper publishes this "child's composition" as an extract from Robert Goupp's "Psychology of the Child:" "Charles the Great was a good, brave man. He had a horseshoe which he broke. Whenever he met a Turk he drew his sword and cut the Turk in two, so that the halves flew, to all ends of the world. He wore the clothes only which his daughter sewed for him. He was very pious. When he could not sleep he prayed. Once upon a time he was kneeling at the foot of the altar. The pope saw him there and anointed him, and so he be came German emperor. . Then he gave the people German names. He found ed schools and churches. These learn ed to read and to write. When he died he sat down in a golden chair and was put in a vault He Is sitting there still." The Human Heart. The heart of man is a book nay, it is an encyclopedia of everything that has ever come within the range of its personal experience. It preserves an eternal record of all the stories in which it has played a part It is strange what sad things may be hid den in its depth without giving any token of their existence. The heart may be gay and may send the smile mantling to the face, but all the while you see only the topmost stratum. If the graves beneath were to give up their dead the smiles would seem strangely out of place. It Is Just like this great earth of ours that renews it self year after year and has not on its surface any token to tell what is the simple truth that it has given graves to 200 generations of human beings. Farrell. Glacial Wonders. The grandeur of nature's forces may be understood when one of the gla ciers of Disco bay, Greenland, is stud ied. Helland estimated that it had a thickness of 920 feet, with a breadth of 18,400 feet, and was found to be moving at the rate of forty-seven feet per diem. And this Disco bay glacier was only one of the many. Itink esti mates that on the west coast of Green land there are 120,000 square miles of territory, all contributing their supply of icebergs.
