It is probable that the 'dhole' is the principal check on the multiplication of the tiger; and, although incapable individually, or perhaps in small numbers, to effect the destruction of so large and ferocious an animal, may, from their custom of hunting in packs, easily overcome any smaller beast found in the wilds of India.

There are trustworthy statistics furnished by Sir Richard Temple and others, which show that the individual Indian's whole annual product, both for export and home use, is worth in gold only $7.50; or, $37.50 for the family-aggregate. Ciphered out on a like ratio of multiplication, the Australasian family's aggregate production would be nearly $1,600.

Some of 'em haven't one ain't so rich as you!" "Or you, brother Tony?" The farmer made a grasp at his will-o'-the-wisp. "Oh! me!" Anthony sniggered. "I'm a scraper of odds and ends.

Jones was observed to go through the multiplication table mentally, but he could detect no error. "Nine times nine is eighty-one," repeated Robinson with confidence, "and we'll put that fact up over the first-floor windows." And so they did.
