During the exhibition of some wild
beasts, few weeks ago, at the theatre
of a small town in Thuringia, Germany,
a frightful scene occurred. A leopard
was not nearly so submissive to the
tanner as usual, and dashed wildly about
the cage. Suddenly two of the bars
gave away, and the animal sprung with
tremendous bound among the specta-
tors in the pit. The terrified people
rushed pell-mell to the door, but the
beast attacked the hindermost of them
with teeth and claws, and In four
minutes had killed a woman and child.
and fearfully lacerated four other per
sons about the face and neck. The
moment the leopard escaped from his
cage, the beast tanner and his assistants
hurried after it, armed with spears, but
were unable to overcome it until it
dropped dead from its wounds. On
examining the broken bars of the cage
it was discovered that they had been
fled. An attendant, lately dismissed
for drunkenness, has been arrested on
usspicion of being the author of this
atrocious deed.

IN racing, the efficiency of the jockey
fuctuates just IS much ss that of the
animal he bestrldes, He may be all
keenness and vigOT when he comes to do
his work, or be may be more or less dull
of brain or lumpy in body, and therefore
more or less of a drag on the beast than
what he should be, Often the case is
worse. Bill Scott, one of the best riders

winners of five Derbys, was 80 drunk the

remarkable cotton plant, received by
MessTs. Gilkeson & Sloss from Rednor &
Etton of Laddnis, Fannin county, Texas.
this plant bore two hundred and twenty
three bolls, some of them open and over,
flowing with the feeoy product, and
altogether it was an interesting object.
That this number of bolls is unusual is
demonstrated by reliable statement

An interviewer hajiing from the Jer-
sey City Jo1CYY2Gl, of inquiring mind,
paid flying visit to the top floor of
Nen ODonnells cooperage, and was
shown some of the mysteries connected
with the manufacture of sugar barrels.
In the first stage, the Irishman's recipe
for making a cannon viii do for q sugar
barrel, slightly altered: First, make a
hole and put your slaves around it. The
operative does this by holding a stout
wooden hoop in one hand, and placing
the slaves in position with the other
very quickly, too, as the work is done
BY the piece. The embryo barrel is
next caught IN the blight of stout rope,
made fast on one end to cleat, and the
other running over an iron pulley and
attached to a treadle. By pressing the
treadle with the weight of the opera
tive, the line is drawn taut, and the
strong purchase thus effected congresses
the slaves to the requisite degree of
tightness. The barrel is now placed in
huge fireplace which resembles a
blast furnace, and is baked for a few
minutes, when it is removed, the tops
and bottoms are planed, the inside
edges beveIed for the "heads," which
are quickly "put on" few finishing
touches given to the hoops and the bar
rel is made. A good workman can
make forty barrels day, and in brisk
seasons about 5000 receptacles for that
seccharine substance composed of bone
dust, sand and sugar are turned out.
The slaves are shipped to the cooper
age from Michigan, where they are
made into the required shape from elm
logs by machine.-JerSey City Jour-

THE present cattle belt of the United
States is about 1000 miles in length, and
$50 in width. 1t stretches from the Rio

southern and northern portion it is
neither highly elevated nor particularly
dry, but for the greater portion it lies
along the surface of high table lands. 1t

KISS AND WED.

o, kiss and wed is often said,
Not often wed and kiss
It should not try the dullest head
To find what's here amiss
If kiss and wed is all that's said,
If love no further goesl
If when its happy summers fed
The bloom is off its rose
IL seems to me 'twould better be
To choose a thriftier flower
And there's the steadfast apple tree,
In spring a rosy bOwerl
Yet, o, its hours of lovely flowers
Are but the prelude sweet;
Its summers but the trysting- time
When love and beauty meet.
And what moro worthy close could be
To its consistent rhyme,
Than when the fruit hangs ripening
In golden autnmn-tiTuel
Then let love be like this good tree;
The best keep for the last;
Say, Wed and kiss and you'll not miss
The key that holds him fast.
