Forrest and the Lion Tanner.

Mr. Forrest had the reputation Of be-
ing u tyrant on the stage, and was ex-
trcmely apt to bully all in the thea
tire, from the manager down. But once
he met his match. It was when hc was
playing at the old Broadway Theatre in
New York. His pieces were followed by
an exhibition of lions by their tanner, u
certain Herr Driesbacll. Forrest was
one day saying that lie Ind never been
afrail in all his life.-.could not Imagine
the emotion. Driesbach made no re-
mark at the time, hut in the evening,
when the curtain Ind fallen, invited
Forrest home with him. Forrest as-
scnted, and the two, entering u house,
walked long distance through many
devious passages---all dark---until flnal.
ly Driesbach, opening door, said,
dThis way, Mr.. Forrest"
Forrest entered, and Immediately
heard the door slammed, and looked
behind him. He had not time to ex-
press any surprise at this, for ut the
same moment he felt something soft
rubbing against his leg, and putting ont
his hand, touched what felt like cats
back. A rasping growl salute1 the mo-
tion, and he saw two fiery, glaring eye
balls looking up at him. "Aro you
afraid, Mr.. ForrestP" asked DricsbHch,
from out in the darkness. "Nota bit. "
Driesbach said something; the grOwl
deepened aud became lloarser, tho hack
began to arch, and the eyes to shine
more fiercely.
Forrest held ont twoortllree minutes;
but the symptoms became so terrying
that he owned up in 80 many words that
hc was afraid. "Now, let me out, you
internal scoundrel, F" he said to tho lion
tanner, "and I'll break every bone in
your body |" He was imprudent there,
for Driesbach kept him, not dAring to
move finger, with the lion rubbing
against his leg all the time, until For.
rest promised not only immunity, but a
champagne supper into the bargain,

Chinese Gambling.

Little by little We arc arriving at mn
understanding Of the Mongolian's habits
of life. The introduction OF the race
into Pennsylvania has given us n new
insight into their "ways that are dark, "
and tile Pittsburgh Post, which has
never ceased to wonder at them since
their pioneers reached Beaver Falls,
thus describes one Of their peculiar
amusemcnts,: W. n.
"Among the many little diversions
employed by the Mongoliaus at Beaver
Falls, none are more popular than the
game called 'Chamie. 1t is played by
the pigtails with tseen, a copper coin
of the value of one-tentll Of cent.
Tie gamester is driven into reckless
proaigacy by the necessity of throwing
awhole penny into the pool ut ono time.
The game causes the utmost excitement
and tho most intent artlor among the
players. On the table is kind of dais
with holes all around 1t. Into this each
player puts as many tseen or pennies as
he wishes, the number being restricted
within u certain limit, and then spring
makes all the pennies put IN tumble
into heap. Each player then glIcsses
the number of pennies in the pool, and
the one who guesses the nearest obtains
tho pool. At first sight the game looks
exceedingly simple, and one would i'm
agine that each player would put in the
smallest number Of pennies possible.
But this is not so; for ench one tries to
circumyent the others by his cunning.
A player will put in sometimes d great
many more pennies himself than tho
other, and then guess i'll proportion.
Tho main amusement Of the game to
