He believes he felt a little pain when the fangs went through his hand, but is certain that he felt none while the Li- ger was munching his arm. The author of “Among Men and Horses,” from whose book the foregoing facts have been gathered, relates an ex- perience of his own bearing upon the same point. He was walking unarmed through an Indian jungle, when a tiger sprang up almost at his feet. “For probably. two seconds, which seemed like as many years," says Mr. Hayes, "he raced round me, while I stood stock still, wondering why I could not put out my hand and catch him by the tail. This was the only thought that occupied my mind during those event- ful moments, until, with a bound and a growl, the tiger disappeared into the thick underwood." ware. 0-. Where Life is Long. It has often been asserted that abnor- mal longevity is more common among the Russians than any other European nation. From an ofiicial report collated from local registers, it now appears the government of ‘Kiefl‘ takes the first place in this respect. During last year it is officially stated that there were fourteen ccntenatian deaths registered in that government. In the City of Kicfi' one man died aged 110 years, while within the suburban circle two women died aged respectively 102 and 104 years. In Breditchcfi two men reached the ages of 101 and 114 years respectively. In Vassilkofi’ an- other patriarch died in his 115th year. In the same district there died a Jew- ees aged 105; in Svenigorodka, a man of 110 years; in Tarastscha another of 115; in Unam two men aged respect- ively 106 and 102 years; in Radomyt- zel, a Jew aged 107 and a Christian aged 103; and, lastly, a man of 105 years died at 'l'cherkassy. ‘ Here are fourteen persons, dying in the same year and within the limits of one district, whose united ages amount to 1489 years. According to the Sara- tofl‘ journals, there is still living in the government an ancient veteran of the First Napoleon’s army, formerly Lien- tenant Savin, and since 1812 known as Nicolai Alcxandrovitch Saviu, who has celebrated 126 birthdays. .- The Nobility of the Donkey. The donkey, who, rather undeserved- ly, has come to be considered one of the “naturals” of the animal world, was dedicated by the ancients tc Bacchus, while the ass of Silcnus was raised to a place among the stars. Apparently he was a more intellectual personage in early days than he is supposed to be at present. Ammoninus, the grammarian, possessed one who invariably attended his master's lectures on poetry, and would even leave the choicest luncheon of thistlcs to do so. “ Wicked as a red ass " ran an old proverb, which the Copts believed in so firtnly that every year they sacrificed an unhappy animal of thc dctostcd color by hurling it head- long from a wall. li‘urniture.

Some time since, in south-west Georâ€" gin, a murder case was being tried beâ€" fore a certain Judge. The State's at- torneys had seen the shooting. and they had an old negro on the witness stand. The negro became intensely interested in the story he was telling. His big eyes were fixed upon the lawyer who was questioning him, and he seemed to think there was no other person in the. room. He was trembling with excito- mcnt, so much so that he stammcrcd, and he told his story as if he were hath ing a strictly private and confidential conversation with the State's attorney. “Au’ den, boss,” he said in solemn and awe-struck tones, “jj-jess’ oz I war a-comin’ rouu’ dc cornnh, sah, I see him ’long 0‘ dc lamp pos’. Iâ€"” “What time was that ? ” asked the Judge. The witness paused just for a second, as if something had disturbed him; but then, without eventurning his head, he went on : “J-j-jes’ oz I war a-comin' roun’ dc cornnli, boss, I seen him ’long 0' dc lamp pos'. I ” The Judge rapped the desk beforo him smartly with his gavel. “ Stop!" he said. “ The Court is asking you a question. At what time did you come around the corner? ” Again the witness stopped, and made a motion with his hand as if he were brushing away a fly from his car, but he never turned around, and again started to tell his story : , , Estimates promptlygiven on allkinds of Berley ........
