A BabOon,s Dinner.

One day good preacher, Bishop Co
lenso, was walking along the Donga riv-
er, in South Africa, when he saw a num-
ber of balloons summing themselves in
little hollow of the ground. The
balloons lay upon their backs and their
eyes were half closed, just like lazy Un-
Gle Georges are when he is taking
snooze on the lounge. Two or three of
the young balloons were at some dis
tance from the old ones, playing and
romping, for baboon children dearly love
to romp. By-and-by one of the
young ones, turning up stone,
lit upon particularly fine and
fat scorpion, which, with scared glance
round at his elders, he seized and popped
into his mouth, having first pinched off
the sting. He at once proceeded to turn
the stone over again with great pains, as
though in further unsuccessful search for
scorpions. He had not escaped notice,
however, for down the gully in sluggish
roll came great baboon, who seized the
young one by the scruf of his neck,
shaking him vigorously until the plump
morsel dropped from his pouch. Having
gobbled this up the elder baboon at once
regained his lounge, and all went on as
before in the sleepy hollow.--Phila-
delphia Times. 90 ss}@

A City of GOurmetS.

Russian cookery has its temptations to
the palate, and in st. Petersburg great
attention is paid to the cuisine. There
are number Of national dishes and
soups cabbage soup eaten with sour
cream, cucumber soup, and a cold sour
soup which they swear by, but which is
not very agreeable to a foreign palate.
The root vegetables, .turnips, beets, ETC.,
are remarkably good; so are watermel-
ons and cucumbers, while game, snipe,
woodcock, partridges, white partridges,
hazel grouse, black cock, cogs du bois,
and hare, are all abundant in their season
and good. In the way of fish, the salmon
is excellent, and they have trout, pot
fish, potch, grayling sequis, somewhat
like astriped bass, and the famous sterlet,
which we do not think deserves its repu-
tation. A rather annoying feature of
Russian restaurant is an immense me-
chanical organ, which grinds out lively
airs during dinner One can hardly
talk. The correct thing to do is to take
before dinner ''zakouska," +" which, being
interpreted, means a preliminary lunch,
a small glass Of hqueur, generally
"wodki," with salt fish or caviare, or n
little cheese This is supposed to whet
dulled appetites. The Russians are ex-

The Education Of Wild Beasts.

The veteran animal tanner, Alfred Still,
says that too much whipping makes a
wild animal sulky and vicious, but a GER
tain amount of whipping is necessary.
To train wild beast, he said recently,
you must 'tfirst make its acquaintance
from the outside of the cage, and get the
animal acquainted with your face; but,
above all, with your voice. They become
accustomed to voices sooner than faces,
and are governed more by sound than by
sight. Having got accustomed to your
beasts, and they accustomed to you, your
next step is to train them to their tricks
Though these tricks are simple, they re-
quire great deal of time and patience,
and a good deal of whipping to accom-
plish them. The lions are the smartest
of the wild beasts. You can train lion
to do the ordinary tricks of the trade:
Jump through hoops and over gates,
standing ON his hind legs, and SO on-in
about five weeks constant work. It will
require about week longer to teach a
honess, and a leopard, which comes next
to lion in intelligence, about six weeks
to learn the same feats 1t takes about
seven or eight weeks to teach tiger, and
tigress from eight to nine weeks, while
you can keep on beating and teaching q
hyena for four months. before you can do
much with him. The mostdificult thing
to do is to teach wild beast to let you
iedown on him without his trying to make
you lie in him by eating you up. Kindness
that is, anything but ordinary civility-
is absolutely thrown away upon a wild
beast. With tiger or tigress especially
all affection is literally wasted. A tigress
is likely to eat you up after an intimate
acquaintance Of six years as one of six
weeks. As rule, the whip il, the most
efficacious instrument for training 1t
can be used quickly and it hurts. If I
we're to drop my whip the beasts would
fancy I had lost my power over them
and would pounce first ON the whip and
then go. for me- The forr. tigresses
trained in that cage are estimated to be
worth $32, 600; but good tiger, un-
broken, is not worth more than 81, 5O0
Lions are worth about So, 900 to So, 500

It is to be remarked that in the first
census, and in that of 1911, no account
was taken of the ages of the population,
and in 1921 the statement Of ages was
left optional. In 1881 the number of
males of 20 years and upward was re-
quired in 1841 this inquiry became
closer, and then there was a revolt in
the female heart, and, for aught we
know, in many male heart also. An
other cause of anxiety was suspicion
that the ages of men were required in
order that those within certain limits
might be "drawn for the militia" and
it is probable that many omissions were
made on this account by some members
of the family contriving not to be at
home on the night to which the census
return was applicable. But, though on
the last census night, that of Palm Sun
day, 1871, the 81, ,6O6 enumerators were
ready to make up above {, ZOO, 600 sched-
ules from that number of families and
dodgers living in 4, 259, ,032 houses in ev-
cry shire in England and Wales, it may
be concluded that the 2,7O4, 108 souls
included in the returns represented pret-
ty well the entire population. Certainly
there were people who, objecting to the
personal scrutiny of the enumera-
tors "a rather "fshy" kind of
officers, necessarily selected from host
of candidates willing to earn about IS.
day by rather harassing work), sent
their schedules privately to the Registrar
General with his permission. There
was the wealthy spinster of advanced
age, who barred up the doors and win
dows of her house in the country, defied
the inquisitor, declared her determine
ton to be fined EGO rather than reply
to his impertinent inquiries, and finally
was soothed by a letter, and sent par
ticulars to the Registrar. There was
the gentleman Of property, who was
willing to undergo any penalty "rather
than commit the crime for which David
suffered" and whose religious scruples
were respected, especially as the en-
umerator obtained all the information he
required, probably at the nearest ale
house. There were the people who
showed fight and elected the obnoxious
inquirer and were fined. There was the
gentleman who neither knew his own
age nor that of his child, and declined
to commit perjury by making guess Mt
either; and there was the hum orous
gentleman described rs IN "author,"
who quoted the "opinion of his wife "
in the last column of his schedule, and
put himself down as "both idiot and
lunatic." But, on the whole, the re-
turns were, doubtless, truthful repre-
sentation of the age, condition and num-
ber of the people. Society. '..

A French View Of America.

The Kosmos of most Frenchmen lies
between Belgium and the Pyrenees, the
Mediterranean and the English Channel
When they attempted to describe any
thing beyond their own confines they
are very apt to blunder eonsummately.
They seldom get anything right off the
own soil. Of this country they nearly al
ways chronicle marvellous things indeed,
however serious they, may be, they very
rarely fail to be comical in dealing with
America. The elatestunconscious humcr-
ist is Jules Saussa, who has published a
romance-in a double sense-entitled
the ''Societe des Mouchards," the action
being laid in France, Italy, Zululand and
the United States. He pays a delicate
compliment to this city by calling it the
rendezvous of all the scoundrels in El-
rope. One of lis most striking persor-
ages is Mrs. Pitt, aged eighty, remark
able for two fangs, like boar's, and an
Unsuitable appetite for what he calls le
todd, composed of much whisky, little
water, lemon and sugar. She keeps a
fashionable boarding school in Louisiana,
and drinks so freely every evening that
she is carried to her room by muscular
servant, especially employed for the pur
pose. She is very fond of certain Ma
jor Dick, also devotee of te todd, who
addressed her Sin true American fash
ion" as 'Old Mule" and ".Ancient Ro-
mantle Brain" He constantly uses the
favorite oath of the country, "God me
DAMN" and when he is particularly af-
fectionate to Mrs. Dick sits down by her,
and puts his feet in her lap. A woman
here is always addressed, if married, as
Mistress" and, if single, as 'tMiss,
while a man is addressed as Master
and "My Gentleman" A lady should,
in writing to one of the other sex. call
him Honorable Sir" or Respected
Gentleman" and sign herself ''Your de-
voted Suitor" or Your truly respectful
est" Saussa introduces us to two very
pretty Ohio girls, Jinifer and Betsey,
one of whom habitually rides wild horses
through her native town bare-headed,
and the other, donning trousers and
high boots, goes forth to hunt rattle
snakes. Most Americans carry, we are
informed, bowie-knife in their boots,
and the rich Southerners are always ac-
companied by two negroes to fan them
Notwithstanding the custom of going
armed, the average American is not ne
cessarily very fierce, and there are ma
tives who, SO far as known, have never
killed single man. Different habits
characterize different States. In Mime
sofa, for example, young ladies of posi-
tion enter corntields during the season to
gather red corn, and after a wedding
ceremony has been performed, all the
invited guests set to peeling apples, the
object being to see who can peel the
most in given time. In several of the
States west of the Mississippi, which is
10, 600 miles long, and empties into Gulf
Mexico, ladies of the best society spend
weeks at time il. the Rocky Mountains,
hunting grizzly bears. and wear necklaces
of their claws as trophies of their PROV
ess. Every American will recognize this
faithful delineation of national scenes and
manners, and will wonder how French
man could have been SO very accurate

Prehistoric TOrnhs.
ProsdOcismi, c

Prof. Prosdocismi, of the Este
France) Museum, who discovered a
prehistoric cemetery on the slope of the
hills overlooking that town, has un-
earthed in the same vicinity eighty-two
tombs, forty-four of them violated, ap-'
parently during the Roman period. the
rest untouched, with all their pottery
and bronzes. The urns are Of three
periods, some colored black, with linear
ornamentations;s others. adorned with
circles and wavy lines; others with al
ternate bands Of red and black. The
bronze ornaments are also very interest
ing, and a bronze chest bears three de-
signs, comprising in all seventeen warri-
ors and priest; several animals (horses,
oxen, stags, birds, and dog), several
plants, and kind Of chariot with man
seated in it. The professor considers
these the finest prehistoric remains in
italy. .4' .-4--F -
