On the onq| band stands the man-eating tiger; on the other the A rms act warns them 1 to beware of acquiring lethal weapons. Thoy have nothing for It, therefore, but to trust everything to official pro¬ tection, and this, it appears, some- 1 times proves anything but a safe- guard. Only the other day the mis¬ erable inhabitants of Anami, a ham¬ let in Bengal, implored the Lieuten¬ ant Governor to take action before they were gobbled up. A particularly hungry tiger had es¬ tablished itself close to the village, and almost every day witnessed a fresh outrage, At one time, the beast showed a preference for cattle, and the milky mothers of the herd had tlielr ranks thinned. But this kind of fare required to have its mo¬ notony relieved at intervals by the substitution of “long pork,” with the result of some inhabitant becoming acquainted with the digestive tigrine apparatus. The villagers were quite willing to make war upon their striped foe; at least they professed to be. But they possessed no arms, that being for-) bidden by law, while the state pro-i did not attempt to afford them any teetion beyond the general offer of rewards for tiger killing. Similar cases are by no means un-. common; they often come to light in J the native papers, by which they are adduced as arguments for the abro-l gation of the Arms Act. That rem¬ edy would be far worse than the dis- ase; If all the people in Indian were llowed to carry deadly weapons would be no end to battle, mur- ; der and sudden death. Efficient Btate protection is the proper reme< dy for an evil which would scarcely exist at all but for the interference of the state with the liberty of the sub- lect. $100 Reward. $100. learn The that readers there of is this at paper least one will dreaded he pleased' disease to that 6cieuce has been a bio to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh.

The year 1900 will not be liundreth a leap year simply because, being a year, although it is divisible by 4, it is not divisnble by 400 without a remainder. This is not the real reason, but a result of it; the real reason being the estab¬ lishment of the Gregorian rule, made in 1582. end The nineteenth century will not till midnight of Monday, December 81, 1900, although the old quarrel will prob¬ ably again bo renewed as to what con¬ stitutes a century and when it winds up, and thousands will insist on midnight a premature of burial of the old century at December 81, 1899. But, as a century means 100 years, and as the lirst century could not end till a full 100 years bad passed, nor the seoond till 200 years had passed, nineteenth etc., it is not logically clear why the cen- tury should bo curtailed aud broken oil before we have bad the full 1900 years. The 1st of April and the 1st of July in any year, and in leap year the 1st of Januury, fall on the same day of the week. of . The 1st of September und the 1st December in any year fall on the same week day. January aud the 1st of The 1st of October in auy year fall on the same week day, except it be a of leap year. and of The 1st of February, March November of auy year fall on the same day of the week, unless it be a leap year, when January 1, April 1 and July 1 fall on the same week day. The 1st of May, 1st o£ June, and 1st of August in any year never fall on the game week day, nor does auy one of the three ever fall on the same week day on which any other month in the same year begins, except in leap year, when the 1st of February and the 1st of August fall on the same week day. day the week To find out on what of any day of this century remainder fell, divide Add the year by 4 and let the go. the quotient and the year together, then add 8 more. Divide the result by 7, aud if the remainder is 0, March 1 of that year was Sunday; if 1, Monday; if 2, Tuesday, and so on. For the last century do the same thing, hut add 4 instead of 3. For the next century, add 2 instead. It is needless to go beyond the next century, because its survivors will prob¬ ably have some shorter method, and find out by simply touching a knob or letting a knob touch them. Christmas of any year always falls on of the same day of the week as the 2d January of that year unless it be a leap year, when it is the same week day as the 3d day of January of that year. Easter is always the first Sunday after the full moon that happens on or next after March 21 It is not easy to see how it can occur earlier than March 22 or later than April 20 in auy will year. New Year (January 1) happen on Sunday but once more during the cen¬ tury; that will be in 1899. In the next century it will occur fourteen times only, as follows: 19113, 1911, 1922, 1928, 1933, 1939, 1950, 1950, 1901, 1907,1978, 1984, 1989 and 1995. The intervals are regu¬ lar—G-5-0-11, 6-5-0.11—except the in¬ terval which includes the hundredth year that is not a century, when there is a break—as 1893, 1899, 1905, 1911— when three intervals of six years come together; after old that intervals plain sailing will till 2001, when the occur in regular order.—[Boston Home Jour¬ nal. Firemen ou Bicycles. After the soldiers, the firemen are making use of the all-conquering happening cycle. in This, at least, is what is Belgium. The Burgomaster of Brussels has ordered the formation of a cyclist fire corps in connection with the local brigade, for the purpose of carrying the first aid to the persons in danger through an outbreak. The men are already being drilled every day, the machines selected being tricycles, upon which they carry a coil of rope, a hatchet and other articles useful in cases of emergency. It is thought that by tins means help will not only lie earlier forthcoming, hot that the health of the men will be improved, as at present, at the first alarm of fire, some of them are told off to run to the spot, where they arrive hot and perspiring, so that often they catch a bad cold through standing about afterwards in tbe cold and wet.—[London News. Washington as a Juniper. George Washington was a noted jumper in his day, and when he was a young man, taking a walk up the Poto¬ mac, he stopped at a plantation where there was a jumping match. As the story goes, the prize lor the best jumper was to be the beautiful daughter of the planter. Washington entered the match and much to the disgust of the young lady he distanced her lover by full ten inches. Noting the black looks ou the girl’s face and the disappointed appear- anee of everyone as to the result, he withdrew his claim and the real lover, who up to that time had never had his equal as a jumper in this part of the country, got back his sweetheart.— [Frank G.

Their flip gers are nearly always loaded with rings, aud about their bodies hantf chains as thick as ropes, from which are suspended bunches of trinkets. The Portuguese dandy is fond of anything that draws attention to his much-esteemed person. Above his showy vest he wears a cravat of ricb colors, and in his buttonhole a full j blown rose. I know 1 am safe in say' ing that most of the promenadera whom I have seen on Sundays in the chief thoroughfares with riding whips in their hands and handsome spurs on their heels have never set foot in a stirrup The spur is to them a sort of sign of nobility which they arrogate to themselves, a relia of the privileges of the old chivalry. Where is the Portuguese, be he muleteer or calker, whose ancestors did not wear golden spurs at the battle of Ourique or of Aljubarrota? I have noticed that a good many otlii rials work in spurs as if about to gd to battle, and when these knights of the quill peacefully render up their fine, bureaucratic souls to God, I have no doubt that their spurs will be laid on their tombs.
