A TALL TIGER
The Way the Sleek Brnte Impressed
an Excited Frenchman
Tigers are impressive creatures es
pecially when one meets them In the
forest George Maxwell writes of
them There Is little doubt that al
most every one has a peculiar sensa
tion of the almost godlike beauty pow
er activity and strength of a tiger A
tiger will overawe and make conscious
of his inferiority a man who would be
unaffected by the bulk of an elephant
The feeling Is however elusive of de
scription and I can perhaps best ex
plain it in the words of a most charm
ing French gentleman who was once
manager of a great tin mining com
pany in Perak We had just finished
lunch when he entered in a state of
tremendous excitement Walking alone
and unarmed along an unfrequented
bridle path through the forest he had
walked almost on to a tiger
He gave us a most vivid narrative
of the encounter how the tiger had
been lying down concealed in some
long lalang grass beside the path how
he was within ten yards of it before
he saw it how then it rose and looked
at him how it yawned at him how it
then walked slowly across the path In
front of him and then stopped and
looked at him again yawning and how
it then deliberately walked away into
the forest whose depths finally hid it
from view
Some one asked the Frenchman
whether it was a big tiger He an
swered Well messieurs I cannot say
if he is a big tiger 0y eyes see that
he is big but I cannot say how big I
see him to be and if I say how big it
is perhaps that I tell you a lie But I
can tell you messieurs how big I feel
him to be aAd I can tell you the truth
When he is standing there in front of
me I tell you that I feel he is not less
than feet high Exchange
THE GROWTH OF TROUT
Age Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing on Size
The Salvelinus fontinalis which is
currently but inaccurately called brook
trout was supposed for many years to
be a small fish Agassiz was largely
instrumental in exploding this fallacy
It is not an uncommon thing for an
angler with ordinary luck to get a six
or seven pound trout of this variety
It is known that a trout may grow to
weigh eleven or twelve pounds There
is however great difficulty In account
ing for its variation in size
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes in which only
fingerlings have ever been found In
the immediate vicinity of such water
three and four pound trout are quite
common and seven and eight pounders
are not phenomenal In all these wa
ters Crustacea do not abound there are
no small fish of any kind except small
trout All the fish are pure fly feeders
At some places It is true frogs abound
but taken as a whole the difference in
food supply is not an adequate expla
nation for the difference in growth
There is no substantial difference in
the waters as to temperature size Ori
gin uj iu vuuioe vuuiuuu uuuuiLiuiia
are the same The small trout taken to
virgin lakes in which there are no fish
have sometimes grown to a great size
have sometimes remained small and
sometimes have not thriven The an
glers who haunt these waters have not
yet found a satisfactory explanation
of this peculiar condition of things It
is one of the mysteries which lend
fascination to the art You never can
tell what is going to happen when you
go fishing St Paul Dispatch
Country Libraries
The usefulness of urban libraries has
been proved up to the hilt but the
question arises why similar advantages
cannot be supplied in rural districts
As a matter of fact they are more
needed in the country than in the
towns The dullness of country life is
constantly bewailed and it can be
readily believed that a young agricul
tural laborer or a young woman
brought up in the country would be
very glad to have the chance of the
wide choice of books which their cous
ins in town enjoy Bristol Press
A JTeir York Jeweler
There had been a difference of opin
ion as to whether the bill had been
paid It resulted in favor of the cus
tomer and the collector from the jew
elry establishment on Fifth avenue
called to apologize Perhaps you will
be willing to pardon the mistake he
said If you knew how many accounts
we have on our books There are G0
000 of them and we are sometimes
likely therefore to make a mistake

IN THE PERSIAN DESERT
Curiou Way In Which Water la Pro
cured For Yczd
Almost in the center of Persia lies
Yezd a city of perhaps 40000 people
on the great caravan route It is a city
of the desert says the author of Five
Years In a Persian Town but how
complete that desert Is and how largo
It is hard to realize
In going from the Caspian sea to
Yezd one sees a strip of green country
thirty miles wide along the sea and
another twenty miles in diameter
round Teheran Aside from that there
Is nothing but waste
The desert in Persia however is of
many kinds There are places where
the ground Is absolutely bare except
for the thick crusts of salt that He
like snowdrifts streaking the plain in
every direction There are also places
equally salt where the proximity of a
certain amount of useless water pro
duces a larger quantity of plant life
than in the ordinary desert For the
rest there is a vast waste of sandy
patches and of gravelly soil fertile
enough when water can be brought to
it sometimes flecked with dry brown
ish shrubs sometimes quite bare
Two desert plants never touch one
another In the most favorable places
two very tiny shrubs may be found
within two yards of each other but
with a single exception one does not
see on the central Persian caravan
route a place away from the hills
with enough natural growth to modify
the color of the distance
Even In the oases no seed comes up
that is not purposely sown no plant
seems to have any association with
the rest One fixes the eye on each of
them individually as upon a single
unit not as on a part of a field or a
garden
The water for these oases is brought
by the most difficult means imagina
ble It Is found in -abundance at the
foot of the mountains perhaps 300
feet underground When a well has
been sunk and plenty of water found
a hunt Is made for the nearest place
in the desert which is lower than wa
ter level in the well Such a spot Is
Yezd thirty miles from the sources
which water it In a line with that
place other wells are sunk thirty or
forty yards apart each shallower than
the one before and then from the se
lected site a tunnel is run in to the first
pit from that to the second and so on
back to the wells even though they be
forty miles away Through this un
derground channel flows the life giving
water
Sometimes It happens that a sudden
hard rain falls In this desert country
It brings many disasters for the sun
baked mud roofs of the dwellings are
cavl in their walls are washed away
and other damage is done them But
worst of all too much water washes
out and caves in these Quanat chan
nels and until they are again dug out
no water comes to town
It has happened at Yezd that a single
rainy day the water from which had
dried away or sunk into the ground be
fore the next sunrise has by filling
the channels caused a water famine
In the city for three months
IvinsflsherM nx Weathercocks
There Is a very quaint old world
superstition in connection with the
kingfisher which I fancy still obtains
here and there in remote parts of the
countryside The superstition is this
If a stuffed or dried kingfisher be sus
pended by a thread or string from the
beam or ceiling of a room its breast
will always turn in the direction of the
prevailing wind How the notion first
arose and how in the light of common
sense and inquiry it has been so long
perpetuated it is hard to say but it
has long existed and still exists I
have a clear recollection as a young
ster of going into a humble cottage in
the shires and seeing a stuffed king
fisher thus suspended as a weather
vane Country Life
Japanese Flnprer Xapkln
The Japanese have a picturesque Im
provement on finger bowls At the
conclusion of the repast a tiny basket
woven of exquisite straw and in orna
mental design is placed before each
guest This basket contains a filmy
satiny paper napkin printed with ap
ple blossoms chrysanthemums Irises
or some other attractive design and
twisted lightly into a flower like shape
Before being placed In the basket the
napkin has been slightly dampened
with perfumed water the scent cor
responding with the design and this
napkin the guest uses Instead of dip
ping the hands in water
Charles V Liked Mechanics
Charles V of Spain like Louis XVI
of Prance was particularly fond of
timepieces and had a decided taste for
mechanics When in Germany he in
vented a carriage for his own accom
modation and after his abdication he
would amuse himself in making little
puppets soldiers performing their ex
ercises girls dancing with their tam
bourines and little wooden birds that
would fly in and out of the window
