Brother Landers left for Texas Monday morning, whore Iu* will do some evangelistic work. Dancers Fared hy Sportsmen Wha Hunt Them. Men who have shot the “big cats of the Indian jungle" all emphasize the dlffeheuce lietweru an "ordinary tiger" and a "man eater." One varies from the other as much as a domestic pussy' from a wildcat. The man eater when It catches sight of a hunter is at once ull aflame with the passion to devour him. It has tasted human flesh and knows Its sweetness. When the Britisher in India goes ti ger hunting, therefore, he looks first of all to Ills own safety. Having learned that a tiger rarely looks upward, he seeks a position at some distance from tlie ground, as, for Instance, the how- dali of an elephant or u inacliau or leaf covered box pepched In n tree. The tiger usually keeps its eyes on ! tlie ground because It linds its prey there and Its enemies also. The natu ral lulialiitauts of the trees, tlie birds and tlie monkeys, It bolds In contempt. But on the ground, besides the sweet fleshed man. lives the water buffalo, Its most formidable foe. In combat tlie buffalo most times kills the tiger. The peculiar sagacity of the elephant Is of great usslstauce to the limn who hunts tigers from tlie howdah. Al tlie approach of the big cat the pachyderm trumpets an alarm, uud if properly trained It will snutch its master with its trunk, should lie lie on tin* ground, and lift him Into tlie howdah on Its hack. It then seeks the shadow of some tree and stunds perfectly still, as If knowing that in litis way it will steady the hunter’s aim. When one shoots tigers from tlie niiiclinn, or tree ambush, lie usually [ticks a place where the beast Is wont to retreat when alarmed. Witli a com panion lie hides himself Iu Ills nest. In ills limit] lie holds a inagn/Jue rifle loaded and cocked, while ill ills belt lie carries a half dozen pistols for Instant use should tlie gtm fail him. Then in* sends out a score or more of natives ns heaters to drive (lie lienst toward him. Encircling tlie region, tlie heaters begin lo nip on tlie trees and to shout, and these noises because of tlinlr strangeness, frighten tlie animal. Yet when neither the howdah nor tlie inachiiii is available the tiger hunter wlll seek the shelter of only a steep, high rock. A captain of tlie Iialiau army recently killed u huge man eater with only a rock for refuge. "The very evening that I slew Hie beast," lie said, in telling of Ids ad venture, “the creature had devoured n woman returning lo tlie village with a bundle of wood she had cut in the Jungle. Only mi anklet and same locks of hair wore left to tell of her fearful fate. The villagers culled me foolish for trying to kill the brute, for they said lie would prove too cunning. Man eaters, they said, were far more cun ning than tigers that had never tast ed human flesh. After they had sacri ficed to their god. however, they be en me more hopeful. Tlie beaters went out to drive him toward me. It seem ed most likely he was lying under a great Dunyan tree not very far away. Meantime I perched myself on a rock high over a stream. Boon 1 heard fleree screams and knew that tlie heat ers had found the tiger at home and were driving him toward me, A mo ment later he crashed through the un derbrush a hundred feet away. There he stopped, his great tongue lolling from his cavernous mouth. Hearing the noise coming nearer, he slunk to ward the stream. . My first bullet caught him In the flank. It only an- gered him, and, lifting Ids head, lie glared at me with blazing eyes. It was tlie tlrst time he had si-en me. The sight of a limn seemed to drive hint mad. With a tierce roar lie leaped upon me, hut Just as he rose in that spring which meant the death of either one of us my second bullet pierced his heart, and he fell in a heap at the bot tom of the rock." * Prof. H. L. Banks will open the summer term of school at Farmers High School at Sargent next Mon day.

They approach much nearer to the conventional ldeu of n flower individually. Instead of being a mere aggregation of anthers or pollen cells on simple scales those of the onk are possessed of distinct stnrlike, hairy calyxes, each marked off into six or seven lobes and containing ten slender stamens, with two celled anthers. Then the female flowers, which aro usually two or three, near each other, hut not connected, consist each of nil ovary, with three short curved styles, and Invested hy a calyx that adheres closely to it and becomes the husk, or shell, of the acorn. Tlie whole, except the styles, is held in a cup formed of many small overlapping scales, which afterward lose tlieir individuality and shrink Into mere roughness on the out side of tlie cup ttint holds tlie acorn, for only one of tlie six ovules contain ed in the ovary develops into an acorn (seed or corn of the no, or oak).

Repeatedly, at wide intervals of time, tlie British ishind^linvc beet, tlie scene of great and long continued volcnno outbursts. In almost every part are traces of volcanic energy of one form or another. Snowden, Cnder-ldris, Seawfell.
