His effort wa made in the era of financial ple thora, when the idea of women was iu spending money instead of saving it, and bis whole counsels were un heeded.

When, however, he is wounded. he will turn and tight desperately. Tigers, "appear to be afraid to encounter man un til they have once had an ' enoputer witt him, when all fear ceases ever alter. - But whenever a tiger has once tasted human blood, it even seeks it iu prefer ence to all others." Dr. Fr.iyer thinks IE probable that, on account oi the general disarming oi the natives after the munltya the number of tigers has increased rather than diminished ot late years. Thelrrav age3 are certainly appalling. Captain Roger3 sayi that in lower Bengal alone, during the six years ending in 1866, 13,40 human beings were killed by wild animals, while Government reports state that dur ing the same period aud in the same local ity, 4,218 of the above fell victims to ti gers, while 4,278 were slain by wolves. n the Kannpore district alone, tbe yearly loss of life Is between tllty-flve and sixty. he exploits ot individual tigers are event more remarkable. We rend of one tiger which in 1807, 1868, 1569, killed respect ively 27, 'ii, and 47, people. Once it killed lather, mother, and three ctiiiuren, wttn- n a few moments, this emnsrei-ous Drum killed 27 persons iu the week before it was shot. Another tiger destroyed during 1858, 1857, 1858, anaverage ot 80 persons annually. A third tiger-in 1809 slew 12v people, ana stopped up a puouc roaa ior several weeks till killed by an Knglish portsiuan. So trent is the awe wlii.l. this tyrant of the jungle inspires, that whole villages ate sometimes deserted, and al! cultivation stopped. A Government report Informs us that in the central -ro-lnces "a single tigress caused the deser tion of thirteen villvges, and 250 square miles ef country were thrown ont ot culti vation." The inhabitants of India, espe cially the Hindoo, believe the tiger to le the abode ef an evil spirit, ana many onld not kill him if they could, lor fear of subseduent nilschiet. So great a dread n some parts of the country is felt by the peasant of his supernatural powers and malevolent disposition, that they either avoid naming him at all or fpeak of him 'the aoktil," or "the beast." There is almost a universal belief that his flesh. especially his heart. If eaten, produce courage arid strength. His winkers, ciswa, and fangs are also religiously preserved a potent charms.
