“Singapore is a British posgeslfioo,”
said Consul Adolph G. Studer, who is
home on leave, to a Washington Past re
porter, '“and it hes grown wonderfully
during, .recent years. It will,’ in fact,
soon riyal Calcutta, which is the largest
port oh' the Asiatic coast. It has fine
streets, well graded and well drained.
The public buildings are large and hand
some. built of durable stone, and there
are many fine private residences. From
’its position on an island at the most
southern point of Asia, itis'the stopping
place for all vessels going to and from
the East, and. its traffic is consequently
enormous. Over 2,000 steamers call at
the port every year The island on which
Singapore is situated was a comparatively
short time ago a mass of jungle. Now
there are 150,000 inhabitants in the city.
It is a cosmopolitan place, and you can
find on its streets representatives from
every country in Europe and Asia, the
Esquimaux of Siberia possibly excepted.
The Brahmin of India jostles
with the übiquitous pigtail
from China, the swarthy
Arao with the fair Circassian, aud the
fire worshipers of Persia‘With the betel
chewing Malay. The universal language
in which all business is transacted is
Malay.”
‘ ‘Are the tigers and other wild animals
as destructive and dangerous as they
used to be?”
“Perhaps not quite so much, but it is
almost an every-day occurrence for some
one of the natives to be carried of by
one of the ferocious beasts. Numbers
are killed whose deaths are never re
ported to the police. Sometimes bodies
are found lying out in the jungle with
the neck broken and half eaten. The
tiger grows to tn immense size there. A
full-grown tiger’s paw will leave a mark
in soft sand which could scarcely be
covered by a large saucer. In killing a
man or beast the tiger always approaches
from behind, and, springing on the buck
of the victim, breaks the latter’s neck
with a Stroke of its powerful paw. Then
the tiger sucks the jugular vein and
sometimes the calf of the leg of the vic
tim, according to the state of his tiger
ship's appetite. He then either eats the
choice and fleshy parts of the dead car
cass or leaves it until he is hungry, when
•he returns and finishes it. They have
(terrible teeth and can crush a horse’s or
bullock’s bone with as much ease as a
dog could a chicken’s. The tigers
are so bold when hungry that they will
carry off a woman or a child from a
house in broad daylight, carrying them
with as much ease as a cat does a
mouse.”
“Are there no measures taken to ex
terminate them?”
“There is a reward of $25 for every
tiger killed. It used to be *SO, but
they became so plentiful that the price
for their death had to be reduced. One
jiLttkO most famous tiger hunters Singa
ever boasted was a man named 1
Uarroll, an overseer of a sugar planta
tion Ha was a South Carolinian, and
used an old Kentucky rifle. He
was a dead shot, and sometimes killed
two man-eaters a day. When a carcass
wit* found in the woods he would go out!
tod, and either dig a hole in the ground
isr whichWcowaT himself, or climb a*
tree, from he could get a good |
••hot at the tiger when He came to finish L
the remains of his victim. From this
coigne of vantage he used to fetch them I
every time. Ho was never once hurt by '
the boasts, and nt last died of jungle 1
lever.” ’

la the Indian word for forest In the
wngls you see tall forest tree# growing
to the height of 100 or 150 feet before
they send out a branch. Then in the forks
of the branches grow ferns and beautiful
orchids. Underneath these tall trees are
shorter ones of larger volume, which
spread out and form a perfect shade
from the-rays of ;the tropic sun. Be
neath these again are small bushes, un
der whose branches grow immense ferns
and all kinds of grasses, from the tiniest
to those as tall as a house. Decaying
vegetation in the forks of the trees forms
a sort of mould, in which seeds of vines
and creepers are deposited by birds.
These grow downward until they reach
the ground, where they take root, and
since they receive more sustenance at
the lower end than they do from the up
per root, they grow six or eight inches
thick at the bottom and send forth
branches which encircle the neighboring
trees, and in turn send their shoots to
the earth, thus forming a barrier im
penetrable except to the jungle knife.
“What is the betelnut of which the
Malays are said to be so fond?”
“It is a white nut which looks almost
like ivory. Every Malay family without
an exception has a box, divided into lit
tle compartments, and with a drawer at
the bottom containing a pair of shears.
In one of the compartments of the box is
some betelnut cut fine with the shears:
in another several sirih leaves; in the
next some slaked lime made from coral
shells, and in thedast some fire tobacco.
At midday, which is the dinner hour,
the family assembles and squats in a
circle on mats, which do duty for chairs.
In the center is a bowl of rice and
another of curry. Each one takes a
handful of rice in turn, dips it in the
curry and conveys it to his mouth with
out spilling a crumb. To do this grace
fully is the height of Malay table eti
quette. After all have finished the betel
box makes its appearance aud is handed
round. Ea-ch person takes one of the
sirih which are five inches long
and arrow shaped, and lays it out flat in
the palm of the left hand. Then he
takes a little betelnut, puts some of the
lime upon it, adds a small quantity of
tobacco, and then rolls the whole up to
gether. Then he places it in his mouth,
holding it by his front teeth, never
chewing It by his side teeth as Ameri
cans do tobacco. Then you may want
to hire him, or to transact some business
with him ever so badly, but he won’t
stir. He will simply say ‘I have no time,
master, I am chewing the sirih.’”
Blacksmiths’ Hammer Signals.
There are few persons, either in the
city or country, who have not at times
watched a blacksmith at work in his
shop with his assistant, or striker. They
have roticed that the smith keeps up
a cons.ant succession of motions ana taps
with a small hand hammer, while with
his left hand he turns and moves the hot
iron which the assistant is striking with
a sledge. Tha taps are not purposeless,
but given entirely for the direction of
the striker. According to a writer in
the Hardware Reporter, the signals, as
given bv the blacksmith and wheelwright,
are as follows i
When the blacksmith gives the anvil
qpiick; light blows, it is a signal to the
helper to use the sledge or to strike
quicker.
The force of the blows’jrivan by the
blacksmith’s hammerlndicfttes the force
Os blow it is required to give the sledge.
i ( The blacksmith’s helper is supposed
to strike the work in the middle of the
i width of the anvil, aud when this ro
: quires to be varied the blacksmith indi
-1 cates where the sledge blows are to fall
by touching the required spot with his
i hand hammer.
j If the sledge is required to have a la- I
teral motion while descending,the black- 1
I smith indicates the same to the helper
by delivering hand hammer blows in I
which the hand hammer moves in the ;
direction required for the sledge to !
i move. IfeS ■
If the blacksmith delivers a heavy blow
i »ork and an intermediate light ;
tai’aftvjl, it denotes that heavy i
I >ledg'* blo’s J »ie required.
i It two or more helpers, the ■
I blacksmith strikes a blow between each
helper's sledge hammer blow, the object
being merely to denote where the sledge '
blows arc t<» fall.
1 When the blacksmith desires the
•Ivflge blows to cease, he lets the hand
hammer head fall upon the anvil and •
t continue its rebound upon the same until i
i it ceases.
i Thus the movements of the hand ham
s mer constitute signals to the helper, aud i
i wlwu appear desultory blow’s to the com- ’I
• mon oOserver constitute the method of
communication between the blacksmith
and his helper.
The Value of a Wig.
The hair of which wigs are made is col
lected by special drummers in Germany
aha France. England hod Belgium are i
bur poor markets for hair, not because I
of iu acarcity, for both English and
Belgian women have the finest heads of i
hair in the world, but because they will
not sell it. When collected it is pot ;
through a cleansing process severe
enough to fetch the dirt out of aa ele
phant's hide, and then dyed several
Mmes nVor. The best hair-dressers 1
never buy hair from the head or from
private hands. To this rule, however, I
' there are two exceptions. Perfectly
white hair is so rare that it is grabbed
eagerly from any source, and a liberal
(srtce given for it. Natural curling hair ,
’is also of coesiderable value. A good |
wig of white hair costs about S4O. and 1
I (this is a secret of the trade and can I
only be told in whispers) the material of
which these wigs are made is clipped
’ from the festive goat, and never from
‘ the Jhmaan bead. A peculiarly soft,
: silky kind of snow-white hair originates
on the augora rabbit. A perfectly j
white and abundant wig of white human
hair would cest fl.OUOat least, a price i
which few would be willing to pay.
Dead hair, I. e., hair cut from the head
after death, is never used by any ton- I
! sorial artist worthy of the name. Indeed,
it cannot be used to any advantage, as it
, will neither curl, twist nor manipulate. ;
Hair cut from a living head is not dead. «
f a fact which can easily be proved by !
' taking a hair aud stretching it out to it* t
I utmost capacity It will then CMdraat i
i quickly back to its former position. It I
will live for a couple of years or more
after having been cut, and when it dios i
, the wig, front or switch becomes limp,
rough, disheveled and useless.— San

GOING TO REST.
In solemn silence down the West,
The glorious sun hath sunk once more,
And to the honest toiling poor
Come with the gloaming peace and rest.
The butterfly hath ceased to roam,
The busy bee hath left the flower,
And high above the old chuch tower
The sable rooks go cawing home.
And age so grave, and youth so spry,
Turn from the task which brings the
bread,
To where the evening meal is spread,
And all their household treasures lie.
The young wife greets her constant swain.
Fresh from the field, with gleeful eyes.
The lonesome widow softly sighs,
And calls to mind her youth again—
That time when one as fair and hale,
For love of her, with ready hand
Scattered the seed-corn o’er the land
Or swung the scythe or plied the flail.
To where he dwells, supremely blest,
The gentle breezes waft a prayer
That soon her hour of toil and care
May yield to an eternal rest.
—John, G. Watts, in the Quiver.

Iceberg Echoes
It is asserted in i>cionee that experi
ments indicate the possibility of obtain
ing an echo from au iceberg when in
dangerous proximity to a ship. It is be
lieved that even an object offering so
small a surface as a floating wreck may iu
this way be detected during a fog in
tine to prevent a collision. Experi
ments recently made have demonstrated
the feasibility of producing well-marked
echoes from sailing vessels and. from
steamboats considerable distances away.
Ths apparatus employed consists of a
musket, to the muzzle of which a speak
ing trumpet had been attached. This
gun was aimed at passing vessels, while
blank-cartridges were fired. After a
longer or shorter time, according to the
distance of the vessel, an echo was re
turned.

Thoroughly Done.
The Hon. Josiah Quincy was at one
time conversing with Daniel Webster
upon the importance of doing even the
smallest thing thoroughly and well, when
the great man related an incident con
cerning a petty insurance case which was
brought to him while a young lawyer in
Portsmouth. The fee promised was only
S2O. Yet, to do his client full justice,
Webster found he must journey to Bos
ton and consult the law library. This
involved an expense of above the amount
of his fee, but after hesitating a little,
he decided to go to Boston and consult
the authorities, let the cost be what it
might. He gained the case.
Years after this Webster was passing
through the city of New Y r ork. An im
portant insurance case was to be tried
that day, and one of the counsel had
been suddenly prostrated by illness.
Money was no object, and Webster was
a-ked to name his terms and conduct
the case.
“It is preposterous,” said he, “to ex
pect inc to p;epare a legal argument at a
few hours' notice.”
But when they insisted that he should
look at the papers, he c msented. It
was his old twenty dollar case over
again, and having a remarkable memory,
he had all the authorities in his mina,
aud won the suit. The court knew he
haa no time for preparation, and were
astonished at the skill with which he
handled the case.
“So you see,” suiid Webster, as ne
concluded. “I was handsomely paid,
both in fame and money, for that jour
ney to Boston;” and the moral is that
good work is rewarded in the end.

Skeletons.
Every physician must have a skeleton
us part of his outfit, and therefore this
preparation is an important feature in
the profession, says a New Y'ork cor
respondent. The students of the medi
cal college have neither the time nor the
facilities for such work, and hence it
naturally falls into the hands of the jan
itor. Skeletons are with him an article
of merchandise, the quotations being SSO
for a very fine sjiccimen, while an ordi
nary article i« offered for S3O. The im
portant but difficult task is to clean the
bones without marring them or leaving
the mark of the kuifa. It is not neces
sary to tell how this is done, but the
process is very simple. Each janitor
may get, up twenty-five skeletons in a
season, sometimes more. This forms a
very imjiortant perquisite, and, indeed,
if rightly improved, h:s berth can be
made very profitable. There is a con
stant importation of skeletons from
Paris, which is carried on by the dealers
in surgical instruments. The French
have the art of whitening the bones in a j
way never attained in this country, and
the price is generally from S6O to SIOO.
The Parisian establishment excel in turn
ing the best skeletons of children, and
even of infants, aud some of the latter
look like dear little doll skeletons that
one might want to dandle on his knee or
rock in the cradle. They are very cun- |
ning-lcxiking things, these dear little
baby skeletons.
