Tigers and Their Prey.
A correspondent who has seen e
great deal of forest life in India writes
on the subject of how tigers secure Dis¬
their prey, says the Pittsburg
patch. As a general rule he is in¬
clined to doubt the truth of the com¬
monly accepted theory that the tiger,
after larking in ambush, springs on to
the unsuspecting viotim, and, tearing
savagely at his throat, eagerly drinks
his blood. This method of attack may
sometimes be adopted, but it is far
more often the exception than the
rule.
In approaching his prey the tiger
makes the best possible concealment use of cover, is im¬
but when further
possible he will course a deer or other
swift-footed animal with dash extragrdin- oi 200
ary speed, A sudden
yards in the open is nothing uncom¬
mon, and the writer mentions the case
of one tigress, with whom he says he
was at one time intimately acquaint¬
ed, who used to catch hog or deer al¬
most daily on a perfeotly open and
burned up plain. for ths most

bulky, the experienced tiger, leaping
on the back of his viotim, grips the
neck in front of the withers with his
jaws, one forepaw clasping the
shoulder of the animal and the other
folly extended under the throat.
Should he be unable to ornsh the spine
with his jaws, he will then jerk the
head back violently and thereby break
the neck.
“I have examined,” says this corre¬
spondent, “hundreds of animals killed
by tigers, and have never yet detected
injury to the bi°od vessels of the
throat, but invariably marks attribu¬
table to the above mentioned method.”
In removing his prey the tiger, fre¬
quently displays almost phenomenal
strength and activity. In one case
cited, a young tigress leaped up a high, per¬

The pnenouiena of attractive light and oolot

His Sure Rale of Action.
A well known lawyer on a cirouit in
north England, curious to know how'a
oertain juryman arrived at his verdict,
meeting him one day, ventured to ask:
“Well," replied he. *Tm a plain
mau, and I like to be fair to every
one. I don’t go by what the
say, and I don’t go by what the lawyers
say, and I don’t go by what the indge, the
says; but I look at the man in
dock, and I says, “He most have done
something or he wouldn’t be there," w
I bring ’email in guilty.”— Argonaut.
