A Boys EXPERIENCE AT CAT TANNING
respectable working woman was return
ing home one afternoon, says a French
journal, when q very little child. apparently
a prey to the widest terror, clutched her
gown; crying, Take me away, take me
away" Looking at the little fellow more
closely she perceived that he was covered
with deep scratches. How did you get
these?" she inquired. "From the cats." he
exclaimed; '-the foui CATS" 1t then ap-
peared that the child was being trained TO
act the part OF a dwarf in miniature circas,
In which he was to initiate Bidel, the lion
tanner, on q very small scale, by exercising
his sway over a number Of cats, stained to re-
semble tigers. To this end the unhappy little
fellow was daily shut into a cage supplied by
four cats, whom he was directed TO whip
into submission. but who. after the manner
OF their kind when unable TO escape, nearly
tore him TO pieces between them.-LoRdon
