THE TIGER IN THE POOL. II V W. A. FKAF.n. Reynolds belonged to tlio Indian state railway service, but lie didn't mean nny harm liy that ; it was only n way he hud of making n living. He was engineer in charge of a district where there was good shooting, no in addition to being a "rail -en triage fid low," ho was u tiger hunter of well lillown pluWes'. The following adventure whirl. he fid him he rrhited to uvt on evening. Settling himself in his long r'.iair, lio took a few vigorous pull's at liih rigni', lis though he w, rr jamming cartridges in a mip'iizitio rill-, an 1 give me the following account of his adventure with a in aii-oatcr : "I v:t tttiilioned near Wanna, in n good tii,er country, and olio day my Ltiuter brought ine news of a pair of tigers that had boon killing rattle near n neighboring village. They were a lather virions pair, too, not. much filial I of man, mi l had been lit the busine-s for some time, for a farmer who hal gotten in their way through protecting his e ittle, hud received a swooping p it from one of their mighty paws which t'rti-,hj.l in his skull like uu eggshell. "Accompanied by tho hunter I went out to survey the ground. It wis the dry seu-,on, and after a long search we found the royal pur's di inkui-' place ; nud an iilr.il resort it was too; a deep, cool pool in a th irk jingle. The pugs showed nie that they ruino there to drink. " 'They were here in the morning, sir," exclaimed the ti inter, after he had examine.! the freshest foo: pants. "I'l'i'iiips they come in the even ing,' I answered, "How do you know it was the morning?" "Ho pointed out to m that all the other pugs were covered with n lino network of woven cobwebs, on which tho dew sparkled and glittered like rare diamonds; tho fresher pugs had none, of the.se ; tln-y hal been made early that morning, after the busy night weavers had retired to their crevico homes. "Tho pool would do better than 'a kill,' for the tigers would be sutv to como there, but as they h id plenty of meat of th cir own killing thev would probably light shy of a bah, so I de termined to build a sort of stage, nud pet a idiot at them ns they camu to drink. Hy evening I h id it built nud all rendy, taking pare to locito it on the lee side of tho pool, so tint, unless tho tigers name up directly behiu 1 u, they should not got our win I.

"Thus cq lipped, I took up my sta tion in the platform at niglitfa'l to gether with tho. hun'er. As I lay thero my head was directly over the pool, and I flattered myself thit I fdionld get a smashing good shot nt Mr.Stripes or his wife, I did uot ex post them before morning, but as tigers are rather erratic in th-ir move ments, I thought it best to put in the eight waiting for theta About mid night, I fell asleep, liuloo, who hi d had n long nap, taking tuy plnci to watch. "I was awakened by soiuo ono pinch ing my arm ; li.doo was whispering, "the tigers are here, sir," and Mire enough, down in the pool, not fifty feet from me, I could hear them lap ping aud splashing tho water. "It was btiil dark very dark, so dark that their forms failed to outline against tho deuo ma s which sur rounded the water. This was a con tingency I had not taken to uej.mut. They were there, but it was so dark I could not shoot with any certainty of not planting my bullet in the mud hiuks opposite. Just in the cuiitor of tho pool the twinkling stnis were re flected, tin 1 hi desperation I deter mined to take one as a mat k, and when it was darkened bv some object to blaze away. I soon got my chance and emptied my 'express, 'not into the star, but into some object which hail come between it and inc." "For a few moments pandemonium reigned in that bit of jungle. Oue of the tigers was hit, and hit hard, judg ing from tho fiendish row it was kick ing up. I emptied my spare ritle into the noise, that was nil 1 had to lire at, but with what success I could not tell, for tho first shot had stirred up as much row as two tigers ate capable of linking. "Presently thero was a lull in the conversation, an 1 1 conrlulel that they had ma do off. It was really too much to expert t ti i ft 1 h id lugged them both, and that tll"y were both dead. "There was nothing for it but to stick to tin; platform till daylight, w hich 1 did, putting in th ; time asleep. I was awake 10 1 by l don, at the first sign of day. Filn.r very cold aud numb, I scrambled down from my nights resting-place, mil I prove. led to reconnoitre, very e irot'uliy, I m;i-t confess, for I iliil n it ivli.h stumbling over a wounded tiger, so early in the day.

They play at bullfighting b 'cause it is tie ambition of every M :can boy to be a btilifighter. in mimic play they use their shawls as baudei as, n,o sticks us pikes and a flat pii ce of wood as a sword. One boy nets us the bull, mil the others net the part of the p ci lores, hatider lilejos and mat i lores. When they grow oM -r they partici pate iu real bullfights, but of an ama teur kind. hulls it I u-ed, but of the common breed, and as an additional piic lution, their horns are sawed off. The boys, die sed iu all the fun ry of a professional uiatadore, enter the riii;r, tease the bull and carry out the regular programme iu nil .'live the killing of tin bud. Ol c inr.se, the bull sometlims kills u boy, but hb pirruts regard him as having died like a hero on the Held of bailie, and the wounded Iny parade their bruises nud scars as proud mementoes of the fray. These amateur lights are considered great events iu country towns, fully equal to the coining of the circus to au American village.

When the bull is brought into the ring the tun oegius. i .-uaii.y lie chases every one over the toiiee and cavoi ts around iu high auger. Soon the lighters, with their scarlet, green and yellow mantle1-, ro-eutcr the ring and llauiit them in the face of the bud. He is teased thus until the master of the feiit blows the cornet. Then (he picadors ride in, dressed iu W costumes, and the bull is teased into trying to unseat them and kill the horses. If the picndoics are skil ful, they keep oil' the animal ; if not there is a dead horse and often an in j ired rider. Then the b:ndci lllos, or little i spears, made in imitation ol sombre ros, ntid other fantastic designs oi varied colored paper or silk, are handed to the voting man, who at tempts to plunge them iuto the thoul- J ders of tho bull. If he succeeds, ho is wildly cheered. This ends the fust ! light. The viupleios como in nud j hoso the bull, takeout the bauderillos j and chase him out of the ring. The young fighters arc then called l before the queens and decorated with ribbon sa-h 's, which are placed ovei their right shoulders, and they strut about the ring until the cornet calls forth aiiotler bull, and the crowd joins iu yelling, ' 0:ro, toro, otro, torn !"

The Process of .Sampling Used at. thfi Mints. To the uninitiated but observant stranger who wanders un and down in tho labyrinth of shafts and tunnels, diggings and dumps of a genuine mining camp, perhaps there is no sub ject more full of interest than the pro cess by which a lump of brown ore which, to his inexperienced eye, looks uot in the least attractive, is made to yield its share of silver and gold; or the means and methods by which the mining man nt his side so confidently assures him thai a ton of that ore will go 8'J.y.") ounces in silver and .l 7. o5 iu gold. Fven the lvistern milling expert, or graduate from some mining school, will wonder how, iu the log cabin or pine shanty, destitute of ad the elaborate paraphernalia to which he has been accustomed, these results are so readily and accurately ob tained. As a general rule the majority of the ores, except those containing the precious metals, for purposes of pur chase nud sale, are valued according to the cost of mining nud shipping, so that, except for metallurgical pur poses, it is unnecessary to seek to de termine with much accuracy tho con tents aud value of such ore'. In the case of ores rich in the pre cious metal, however, it is entirely different, as in their purchase and sale, both parties, the buyer as well as the seller, want to ascertain i.ccurately ana to a certainty the value ol the en tire lot. The methods by w hich this knowledge is obtained are so simple as to bo easily understood and pine tised by many a man who does not know the technical symbols of the metals he is determining, or could not give a scientific exposition of the process; but, nevertheless, in his line, ho is au accurate and successful as sayer. When it quantity of mo is to be sampled for assaying it i lirst broken up by nil ordinary rock crusher into pice'es the size of an Kuulish walnut, after which it is shoveled back into the car, but in such a in inner that every li It ti shovelful is thrown aside by it self, the leiiiniuiug foir-lilths being dually taken uway.
