TIGER’S STRIPES. \Vell, a great many years ago, away fo in a'country called " India," there lived a great yellow tiger. Now. in those days tigers were a beautiful yel- low color all over, and very proud Lhey were of their lovely skins,,too. The tiger lived in a deep. dark for- wtmvhich was full of all sorts of oth- er wild animals, such as leopards, and monkeys and elephants, and his name was “Old Yellow Eye." because he had such beautiful great yellow eyes. But 0 deatr me he had a most shocking temper. and used to fly into such rages, and rush about roaring so hor- ribly that all the other beasts were frightened almost out of their wits. Now, Im sorry to say that Old Yel- low Eye had another very bad habit. He used to eat little monkeys when he felt hungry between meals, just as - you eat a cracker sometimes when you are so very hungry you simply can‘t wait till dinner time. Now. this was a very wicked habit of Old Yel- low Eye. worse than the other one, because, allthough it is very naughty 'to fly into a passion of temper, it is‘ much worse to do something that will hurt our neighbours. But Old Yellow Eye had never been told that it was cruel and wrong to eat little monkeys, so you see he was not quite so much to blame. Well, one day he woke up from a long nap in a thicket, feeling very hungry indeed, and, of course, it was nowhere near dinner time, for the sun was still sending his bright, hot spears down through the thick trees of the ‘jungle, and it would not be time for dinner until the sun’s sister. the round moon, was turning all the open forest glades to silver. Old Yellow Eye got up and stretched himself and gave a low growl, and showed all his beau- tiful white teeth, which in tiger lan- . guage meant: “ Oh, how hungry lam! I could eat a whole elephant I” Then he pushed his way out of the thicket and walked slowly along the path, looking for something to eat. It was a long time before he found anything, because all the beasts had moved out of the neighbourhood, he was so dis- agreeable. So he walked and walked, and the longer he walked, the hang: tier he got. until he was almost ready to fly into one of his passions. All of a sudden he heard a great noise and chattering going in a little noise and chattering going on in a lit- tle glade nearby, and then he stuck out his long red tongue and licked his lips, saying to himself: ‘ ‘Aâ€"a-a-h ! I think I hear my luncheon not far off at last I" Then he crouched down and' began toca‘eep through the long grass and bushes toward the monkeys‘ play- ground, and when he was near enough he gave a spring and. landed among the monkeys, scattering them right and left. After he had his lunch he felt very much better and also very sleepy again, so he hurried off to bed for an- other nap till dinner time. That night, if you had been there and had used your sharp eyes well you might have seen the light-footed little figures, flying along in the sha- dows of the bushes, or swinging by long slender tails from tree to tree. These were the monkeys all going to a big meeting, which was to be held that night in a glade, far away from Old Yellow Eye’s house. The whole monkey tribe was there, and they all sat around in a big circle, while the ones who were to make speeches sat on a mound in the center of the ring. First the Chief Monkey, an old gray- hearded fellow, arose and said: " Friends and brothers, We are here to-Inightt to decide what shall be done to our enemy. Old Yellow Eye, to pun- ish him for killing and eating our re-- latives. For years he has worried and chased us from place to place, our chil~ dren are never safe from him, and our pleasures are spoiled. Something must be done I" After the Chief Monkey had ended (here were many other speeches. and L3 the first light of day began to creep Into the jungle the punishment was decided upon, and 10 brave monkeys were chosen to administer it. The next day, as Old Yellow Eye was lying sound asleep in his thicket, there came dropping silently down from the trees over his head 10 soft- ly moving monkeys. carrying loaves of the palm tree, full of sticky black stuff. which smelled horribly. Then while the tiger still slept, they paint- ed him with the sticky paste, in long black stripes across his beautifulinary disinfection with yellow skin until from the tips of his nose to the tipof his long tail he was striped with black. Only his breast and stomach remained soft and white, , CEYLON GREEN TEA Clam flavor as Japan, only more delicious. film ‘because he. was lying on them, and the monkeys could not reach them. It wau all done in a, minute and the lit- tle workers were gone. Pretty soon the dreadful smell and sticky feeling of the paste, Woke up Old Yellow Eye and then there was ,a pretty howdedo I lie was almost wild with rage and fright. Around and 'those awful stripes. He rolled on the ground, he jumped into the air, but wait to no pu,rpo=e. the stripes were there for good. And all the time the monkeys sat up in the trees and Were glad to see their enemy in such a fix. I But after a while Old Yellow Eye grew so tired that he had to crawl into his thicket and go to sleep. And never after that day could the [Old tiger catch a monkey, because wherever he went the smell of the paste went with him, so that the mon- 1 keys always knew when he was com- ing and could get out of his way. And ever since that day tigers have worn stripes l â€"â€"+â€" UUARANTINE PREUAUTIUNS TO PREVENT THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PLAGUE INTO CANADA. The Season Is Too Far Advanced for line Dlseuse lo I!» Much llnrln In Tllls Eu. lllutleâ€"Qunrnnllne omel‘als Instructed to Re \"lgllnnl. The danger of the possible introduc- tion of the Bubonic plague into Can- ada, eith'Ell‘ from London or by way of the Pacific coast, from the Far East. is receiving the attention of the quarantine officials as Well as of the medical profession throughout the Do- minion. There does not seem to be any great anxiety upon the subject. The season here is so far advanced that the cold weather would soon put its strong hand upon the Asiatic disease. and the general rplnion is thit even if the disease did get an entry here it would prove no more than sporadic. So far the’quarantine authorities have received no official intimation of any deaths from Bubonic plague in England, nor do they anticipate any serious danger 'of the infection being brought into Canada from England. All the quarantine officials on both coasts have been instructed to be parâ€" ticularly vigilant in their search for cases of this dread disease; and vol- uminous instructions have been is- sued them in the matter. These in- structions cover every conceivable point of danger. and are most ex- plicitly drawn. The following synopsis of the in- structions peculiarly adapted for the prevention of the importation of the Bubo‘nic plague. is taken from THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENT: 1. Pilots bringing in vessels from plague infected ports shall hold them in stream for inspection, not coming to any pier until sanctioned by the inspecting officer. Pilots who have gone onboard infected vessels will be detained in quarantine asufficient time to cover the period of incubation. If the pilots have been exposed to in- spection their dunnage must be-disin- fected. 2. In inspecting infected vessels from these ports the personnel of the vessel shall be inspected after the re- moval of such clothing as will inter- fere with the thorough examination of all glandular regions. including axillary. inginical and cervical. 3. Inspected vessels must be plac- ed “here it impossible for rats to swim to the nearest land or other ves- Sel, and in case of the vessel being attached to a pier or lighted by a hawser the hawser'must be either en- closed in iron or tarred to prevent rats.passing along it. 4. patients must be moved to hospital and carefully isolated, and the well disinfected and supplied with sterile ‘clothing. 5. All steel”. passengers and crew and their effects must be disinfected l'before being admitted to the deten- tion buildings. , 6. After the removal of the per- . sonnel the vessel must have a prelimiâ€" oulphur, a guard being placed round her to des- troy all escaping rats. 7. No one must be allowed around the vessel with bare feet, and gloves alround he flew. trying to get rid of‘ must be use-d in removing cargo. or EVENTS nAy Cong AND 00’ but. the high “was”: of quality um always remain in DELLA l l I I 1If the plague is on board. the‘ dead vermin.

After the vessel is thoroughly emptied she mtmt undergo 2.1 hours‘ disinfection by sulphur dioxide. the re- mains of all rats and vermin gather- ed and burned, and the place where gathered disinfected with mercuric bichloride solution. The vessel must be kept under obâ€" servation sufficiently long to satisfy the quarantine officers that all rats are destroyed, and a new crew or a crew that has passed the period of observation should it possible be pro- vided. The usual quarantine regulations ap- ply to the disinfection and detention of the personnel of any vessel coming from an infected or suspected place. Such ina- Directly the plague is known to have appeared at any particular point or any place is declared infected, a circular note is forwarded to every quarantine officer informing him of the fact and requesting him to be specially alert in regard to vessels suiting from or touching at such a place. This will be done in regard to England should official intimation be received. + MISQUOTATIONS.
