AN EXTINCT ANIMAL
The Saber Toothed Tiger Wai a For
midable Creature.
The most remarkable of nil the ex
tinct feline animals are those known
to nnturnllsts ns the saber toothed
cats or tigers, a group comprising the
greater pnrt of all the fossil forms.
They date back to the dfirllest times of
which we know anything about the
family In North America and reach
down to the time of man himself. A
lnrge nnd powerful species described
from the Indian Territory by Cope
lived contemporaneously with the
bnlry mammoth, as evidenced by the
commingling of their skeletons. There
can l>e little or no question but that
the bnlry mammoth was contempora
neous with man In North America
ns well ns In Europe. Its geologienl
range Is from the closo of the eocene
to the latter pnrt of the pleistocene.
The chief peculiarity of the animal
Is the extraordinary elongated canine
teeth. The tall Is of unusual length
nnd the legs nro short. The animal
measures about seven feet In length
aside from the tall. The lower jaws
hnvo a downward projection In front,
duo to a llnngellke widening of the
Jnwbones, which doubtless served as a
protection to the teeth, preventing their
Injury or loss. In some of tho-lnrger
forms from South America this flange
wns not present, while the canine
teeth were even more elongated than
Is the case with this species, attaining
a length of over six Inches nnd pro
truding far below the Jaws when
closed.

India’s Tree Bordered Highway
Miles In Length.
The road I have In my mind Is In
India nnd stretches 1,200 miles from
Lahore to Calcutta. It Is the famous
Grand Trunk road. Let me explain its
nature, though one cannot do so by
comparison, for there Is no road of five
miles In England that liwmythlng like
It. It Is level. Indeed^Lliere Is not
nbovo a mile* the whole distance where
even a lady need dismount to walk.
The mnterinl with which it Is made is
called kunker, nml if you care to turn
that word Into concrete you have an
Idea of what it Is like. It Is exceeding
ly hard and ns smooth ns a prepared
pavement There -Is no dust. When I
first got on this road nnd enjoyed the
luxury of easy traveling I said, “This
Is magnificent, but In n little time 1
suppose It will become gritty nnd un
even.” I went 50, 100 miles, 200 miles,
500, GOO, 700 miles, nnd It wns always
the same, with not even- a small stone
to give n Jog. Nearly the whole of the
way is lined with a double row of ma
jestic trees.
With two friends I rode across India
during the hottest time of the year, In
April nnd May, and was never serious
ly Inconvenienced by the heat, for at n
pace of fifteen miles an hour one could
create u draft.-—Chumbers' Journul.
The Danger of Soap.
When a man goes to some thermal
springs to “boll out” all the old Satan
that Is In him he quickly learns one of
the more Important lessons of life and
civilization—that Is, he acquires a su
preme contempt for soap. When he
takes bis first tub, at 09 to 102 degrees,
twenty minutes in the wnter to soak,
the attendant gives him n terrible
scrubbing, using a sharp soap and a
loofn. After that first bath no more
sonp Is used. Ttye man continues to
soak dally in wnflpr of the same tem
perature for twenty minutes and Is
rubbed with the loofn, but no sonp.
“Sonp,” the expert attendant .will tell
you, “clogs up the pores of the skin.
Our object* Is to keep ’em open. We
cure nil diseases by giving the pores
a chance to breathe and excrete.”
Yonr hands chap? Wherefore? Be
cause when you last washed them you
neglected to rinse them thoroughly.
You left the pores clogged with sonp.
Your complexion Is muddy. Where
fore? You forgot to wnsh the soap
off your cheeks. Hereafter rinse,
rinse, rinse. Keep on rinsing. Con
tinually rinse. — St. Louts I’ost-Dls-

Grotesque Spanish Honor.
There is a story nbout the Duke of
Wellington that Illustrates the fantas
tic Idea of honor held by muny Span
iards, contrasted with the practical
common sense of Englishmen. When
the duke was eo-operatlng with the
Spanish army In the peninsula against
Nnpoleon he wns desirous on one oc
casion during a general engagement
that the general commanding the
Spnnlsh contingent should execute a
certain movemeut on tho field. lie
communicated the wish to the Span
iard personalis nnd wns somewhat
taken aback lie>told that tho honor
of the king bf tynln and Ills army
would compel ’Iihfi to refuse the re
quest unless Wellington, as a foreign
otlleer graciously permitted to exist
and fight on Spanish Boil, should pro
sent tho petition on his knees. The old
duke often used to tell the story after
ward, and ho would say., “Now, I wns
extremely nnxlous to have the move
ment executed, nnd I didn’t enre a
twopenny damn’ nbout getting on my
knees, so down-1 jumped!”

Roadside Wit.
Ho who matched wits with the au
thor of “The Ancient Mariner” had In
deed a lively task before him, for Cole
ridge was never caught nupplng. Tho
poet was so awkward a horseman that
his riding often attracted comment of
anything but a complimentary nature.
One day he was riding along the turn
pike road In the county of Durhuju
when a wag who met him fastened
upon him as an excellent subject for
sport. Consequently he drew rein nnd
said in an Impertinent drawl:
My graceful friend, did you happen
to meet a tailor on tho road?”
I'm inclined to think I did,” said
Coleridge meditatively. "I was not
sure at the moment, but lie said some
thing about my meeting a goose far
ther along the road.”
The wag put spurs to his horse, aud
the poet jogged calmly on his way.
PnsfcSalariec of Actor3.
A number of autograph letters of
Edmund Kean supply some-Interesting
Information about the salaries of actors
early in the nineteenth century. One
relates to ap offer by Mr. Ellison offer
lug Kean £3 a week as acting man
ager of "the new theater In Wycb
street." Later this rose to £25 a month
In 1S2G Kean was offered ?12,000 a
year to go to America. In tho prime
of his popularity ho received £200 for
a week In Edinburgh and apparently
reached the highest point when Mr
Bunn wrote from the Theater Royal
Dublin, on Feb. 8, 1829, and ofTcred
him £50 n night to play in Dublin and
Cork.—Liverpool Mercury.
Home Influences.
Each one of us Is bound to make the

Famquc Lilac Tree,
Chief nmong the many objects of In
terest in Jhe gardens of Easton Lodg«
Dunmow, the reajdence of the Earl and
Countess of Wiftwick, Is the magnifi
cent lilac tree which occupies a con
spicuous position on tho terrace. This
tree Is the finest specimen of its kind
In tho United Kingdom. It has a cir
cumference of 120 feet nnd a height of
sixteen feet, nnd It has so dense a
growth and blooms so profusely that
when In flower it forms a huge bou
quet of lllnc blossoms.
The lllnc Is that commonly known as
the Persian nnd described by tho bot
anists ns tho Chinese, but It Is not a
native of either Persln or Chinn, but
wns raised In tho Rouen botnnlc gar

true Persian lllnc And the common li
lac of British gnrdens.

A Dog and His Name.
“There was n dog case which ex
cited much uttcntlon In Berlin sumo
years ago," suld a former resident of
that city. “A citizen complained to
the authorities against a neighbor
who, he said, to annoy him, gave his
name to a mongrel cur. ‘He calls my
name,’ ho said, ‘nnd when I turn
around ho laughs nnd Buys 'he was
calling his dog.’
‘What’s your name?’ asked the
magistrate.
“ ‘My name Is Schulz.’
“ ‘And do you call tho .dog Schultz?’
he asked the other man.
“ ‘Yes, your honor, but I spell it with
a T—Schultz.’
‘Call him without the T,’ com
manded the magistrate, trying to i4 ,ok
serious. The man did so, the dog came
to him and nn order to change the

The Water Bottlo’s Shape.
Three useful purposes—nnd probably
many more than throe—are served by
making the familiar wnter bottle of
such a distinctive pattern. In the first
place the narrowness of the neck pre
vents tho entry of much dust thut
would Inevitably settle on the water
were the entire surface exposed; In the
uext place the same narrowness pre
vents excessive and rapid evaporation
of the water, and In the third place the
shnite of the neck makes it a capital
handle, thus doing away with the ne
cessity for a separate handle fastened
to the body of the bottle, a course that
would render It much less convenient
and more liable to bo broken.—Pear-
Bon’s.

Finding a Grave With an Egg.
The Mlau-tsze, a little known tribe In
Asia, are very superstitious about
death nnd will not bury a man until
they have first tested the ground with
an egg. This operation Is very curious.
While the body is being prepared for
burial a number of Mlau-tsze, Includ
ing the male relatives of the deceased,
go out to the appointed spot bearing a
largo basket of eggs. Stooping down,
one of the natives lets an egg drop
softly on the ground. If It breaks It Is
considered an ill omen, and another
spot Is selected. In this way the party
often wander about for hours, break
ing eggs over the ground until they
finally strike a plneo where the shell
does not crack.
