As everyone knows, says a Home writer, China is full of Scotsmen, and. I suppose the poor exiles must do something in their spare time. All the same, the news that a curling club has been started there seems rather bard luck on the nativos, who have such a difficult language of their own to learn.

Her husband was guarding the entrance to a strip of jungle from which the tiger had been beaton out and twice drove it back to Thor (both his shots missed). The tiger thoroupon climbed up the tree-a large, straight, smooth- barkod species and tried to get into the machun after "Mrs. Smythies. Sho very courageously ranimed hor rifle down its throat and pressed the trigger, but the cartridge missed fire. As there was no time to reload, Mrs. Smythies attempted to get out of the machan and in doing so was thrown out and fell to the ground.
Her husband had fired as the C. E. Warren & Co., Ltd. beast was climbing the tree, but though it was moving slowly and wae hit-again and again the beast got right up. Mr. Smythies last shot was a desperate attempt in deed, as at the time both the tiger and his wife wore in the machan and it was this last shot that brought the tiger down and finish- bd it.

The tigor was a good specimen, mousuring nine foot three inches.
