"Tiger hunting In India is best car
ried on by Imiting with cattle, so I took
a drove of forty head with me," said
Prince Louis Ksterba.y, of Austria.
'A band of some thirty of the natives
were started three weeks in advance to
seek out the best bunting grounds and
whenever a good spot waa found one
of the shikaraes dropiied out with a
certain number of cattle to await my
corning. In this way I was enabled to
hunt in the wildest sections.
"The cattle were tied one by ona to
trees in the Jungle In the margin of a
circle sometimes as much as five miles
serosa. They were placed there at
night The tigers came forth at night
to seek their prey, .and, finding the
cattle, leaped upon, killed, and de
voured aa much as they cared to and
Went thrtrray. - -" - ..."
"Much of this conn try ig low and
wet, and tlie tigers could easily be
tracked in the soft soil, especially by
the expert native Indians. Following
the tracks each successive morning
after baiting we would come upon and
shoot them. In this way in eleven
months, with but a single gun, I my
self killed nineteen tigers. This Is tlie
best record matte in India in eighteen
years. 1 had a very big rillc, what is
known as an eight-ball gun, carrying
twelve drachms of powder. With this
an expert is able to bring down even
the largest tiger easily, and sometimes
by a single shot. But the sportsman
must lie as quick as lightning, for no
sooner floes one of these wild tigers
see you, even though he may be sur
feited with food, than he will leap for
you with all the quickness Imaginable,
and if you do not make sure work of
it you are gone.
"The first two or three times, when
undergoing these experience. It made
me Somewhat nervous, for fenr I would
not make a center shot, but in time 1
gut more confidence. I speak now
ol hunting tigers on loot, as
I was doing. This is the most danger
ous way, but it is more fascinating. I
several times went off Into the jungle
entirely alone, and hunting in this way
I had a number of very narrow eacapes
Oii one occasion I was tracking a
tiger and was raising my gun to shoot,
having come upon it suddenly, when I
was aUrth-d by the deep, growl and
rapid tread of another coming upou
me. I was so haul pressed that, after
shooting one I bad to flee for my life,
and only just ecnped by climbing a
tree. In the eleven months I many
times slept out alone in a dismal jungle,
with oiiiyiny ManfcfTto Itrrrr ofT lrie
rain. I upMse I underwent many
such an experience, so far as exMure
is concerned, as your American trapper
and miner did in earlier and more
so shooting from elephants or camels.

Captain Hockwo'.l, of the United
Slates coast and geodetic survey, hui
miido a special rejHirt on Capes
liokout and Mearea, on tho Oregon
coast, as to their relativo importance
for a light house site. Congress at its
last session made nn appropriation f r
a light hotiso at Capo Means, or some
other selected iHiint. At Capo ItHk-
out ho reports a very good harbor of
refuiro in heavy northwest weather.
This cape ia a rather remarkable pro
montory of basaltic rock jutting boldly
from the general direction of the coast
lino for ono and a half miles to west
southwest. The height of this pro
montory is 450 feet at the leeward
face, which is only four or live bun
dm yards broad. It is covered with
pruco and hemlock, and is trans
versely cut by deep and very rough de
pression. The water close under the
point ol tins cape is apparently very
deep, at there was no sign of breakers
in a large northwest swell. hen
vory violent winds were blowing from
the northwest Micro was smooth water
to tho leeward of the capo. The!
southern face of tho capo is very steep
and rocky, and is nearly a straight

Astoria to Nestuccs river make uce of
this anchorage as a refuge under stress
of weather. The captain slates that as

era, and that is pumpkins. They are
very easily raised, and hogs not only
thrive on them wonderfully, but they
can bo fed them from the 1st of Octo
ber until late in the winter, provided
there is a cellar or other suitable place
in which to stow them away.
It is generally snpmised that alfalfa
needs large quantities of water for its
successful growth. This is not so. Of
course, . heavier and more ircquent
crone can bo secured when there is
plenty of water for irrigation. But
even without that aid there is no plant
which will withstand drought and yield
heavier crops than alfalfa. On the dry
and arid plains of Kansas it can be cut
at least three times each season with
out being irrigated, and this is the gen
eral experience where irrigation is not
practiced.
Fowls in conlinement require a va
riety of food to pmsper. They require
a mixture of grven food with grain, as
much as horses or cattle do. Too
much solid food, where there is not
proper exercise, tends to fatten. When
hens take on fat they usually fall oil'
laying. Yarded fowls do not need the
same hearty food as birds at liberty.
Light, nutritious and easily digested
food is n-quin'd by fowls m contine
inent. Never allow them to make
whole corn a staple diet. Fresh meat
two or three times a week is necessary
for (owls in couhnement, and in sum
mer especially, when they are deprived
of insect food.

"I shot more and bigger tigers dur
ing the rainy months. In ten days in
July I shot live tigers and a panther.
A tiger always comes from a hill and
goes back to a hill. He will not stay
long on low ground. Uusually three
or four at least of a hunting party are
killed before the reason is over. You
will understand, therefore, what good
fortune we had In escaping loss of life."

A Rare Arizona Bird.
The "devil-hawk" of Arizona Is a
rare bird, and an interesting one. He
is described as having a remarkably
handsome plumage, but a very ugly
head. His talons are long and strong,
and his beak is almost as sharp as a
needle ami very powerful. This bird,
but for his head, when on tho wing
would pass for a pigeon. When seek
ing his prey he plays pigeon, nnd flies
in among the birds unnoticed on ac
count of his similarity, and easily cap
tures what he wants. He Is the picture
of grace and beauty and speed. It it
estimated that there are not more than
a dozen of these hawks in the Territory.
The Mexicans arc superstitious about
them, ami regard the appearance of
ono as an evil ninen. Troy Jimc.
AROUND THE NURSERY.
S.((a'le.a Which Mhoald R. Born la
Mlad by Eery Mothar.
If possible the nursery should be a
large room, and a bright, sunny one,
evenly heated and well ventilated, with
pl-rturet on the wall and flower or
plants growing In the window. The
painting and papering of the walla
should be clean and fresh; and It should
be '.he children' own room, In the sense
of having cup-board and closet and
rot m for their various toys and books;
and every child who belongs In it should
have his own separate right to tome
part of the apartment
W hen it I only a room for one, then
omeUrne it can be a bed-room like
wise, but when there are other little
one to share the play-room, then it
becomes simply the nursery, where the
little ones play In stormy weather, and
work or study parts of pleasant days.
In arranging the nursery few mothers
sufficiently appreciate' th"- valu of
surroundings in educating the young
child. A good water color painting is
of far more value here than hung on
the parlor wall. '"O, but the children
might break the glass In romping and
playing," some one exclaims. Very
true, they might, but not ordinarily any
more than break the glass of the win
dows. They could do that if they were
permitted to, almost any day. liut no
such indulgence I given them. Nn
more should they be permitted to break
a picture glass; while the picture before
their eyes is a constant means of educa
tion; and if the idea is entertained that
almost any thing will do for the nursery
wall, from a third-rate engraving to a
newspaper cutting or an advertising

equal reason I think I believe in the
