Living Canoes and Ras.Reliefs.

This facinating entertainment can
be prepared by children, at short
notice, with very little trosble or eX-
pense. The articles required are two
sheets of large cardboard, two sheets
of pink tissue-paper, and two sheets
of white cotton wadding, one ball OF
white and one of pink velvet chalk, a
leadpencil, a pair Of scissors, six yards
of black cambric, q few tacks, and a
little paste.
One sheet of cardboard is fastened
on the side wall of darkened room,
so that the shadow of the face OF a
person with large and regular features
will fall upon the center of it when a
lighted candle is held in front OF the
side of the face at a distance OF three
feet. A cup should be placed between
the face and the cardboard and kept
in position by the pressure of the head,
in order, so far as possible, to prevent
any movement on the part OF the sit
ter. The candle must beso placed that
the shadow of the profile is in the cen
ter of the cardboard; the outlines are
then to bo traced with pencil. The
card-boWd can then be taken dowr
and thu profile carefully cut out; the

Col. EllswOrth's ZOuayes.

The Chicago zouaves, commanded
by Col. Ellsworth (who was killed at
the beginning of the civil war;, came
to Washington in August, 1860, after
having been Hospitality entertained ut
New York, Philadelphia, and Balti-
more. This corps, which numbered
seven officers and forty-two muskcts,
revoutionizcd the drill of the volun-
tcer military organizations of the
country. Their uniform was loose
scarlet trousers, gaitcr boots, and buff
leather lcggins, II blue jacket trimmed
with orangc-cOlorcd braid, and red
cap with orange trimmings; their scar
let blankets were rolled on the top of
their knapsacks. They drilled us light
infantry, and moved like electric
clocks. The entire drill lasted nearly
three hours, including stoppagcs for
rest, few moments each time, and,
although performed under scorching
sun, on the hot sand, and comprising
Il series of vigorous exercises, the men
stood it well, and attended strictly to
their business Two or three accident
ally lost their caps during the double
quick, and took not the slightest
notice of ii, either at the time or
subsequently, when the company came
to halt, comradc placed the caps
awry upon the owners heads. Most
men would have adjusted their head
coverings to fit comfortably, but they
did not make the slightest effort to
touch them until the order came TO
rest. The step of the zouave was in
itself peculiarly, and strongly sug-
gcstive of frequent pedestrian and
gymnaStic preparations. The diminu-
tive stature of the men, and their pre-
cision in accomplishing the allotted
length of step. gave to ii something
of n steady Looping movement, but yet
so firm and Springy that its effect was
most animated. Another feature in
the general excellence of the zOuavcs
was noted in their method of handling
their arms, which, instead of the in

which was thrillingly suggestive of Il

The Russians in Berlin.

A Russian residing in Berlin sends
the newspapers an account of the en-
pulsion Just dccrccd against his com
patriots by the police authorities. He
SAYS that several thousands have al
ready been victims of the measure,
and that every day from ten to thirty
more are added to the list. 1t includes,
without distinction, men, women, and
children, rich and poor, Christians and
Jews, students and laborcrS, people
wholly unconcerned with politics, men
who have married Germans and rcsid
ed for generation in Berlin. The or
der for expulsion gives no reason for
its issue. The writer gives the follow
ing list of cases which have come un-
der his immediate notice:
Two medical students, Christians,
who received notice to quit while alb
sent from Berlin for the vacation. Their
passports must have been in order,
otherwise they could not have been ad-
mittcd to the higher educational cs-
adjustments. Case No, . is Jewish
merchant, Il perfectly harmless in
dividual living quietly with his
brother, and enjoying IN excellent rep
utation. Next comes two sons of n COM
mcrcial traveller, aged respectively 10
and u. Then comes medical student,
who has been six years in Berlin, form
crly suspected and watched as u
nihilist, but since authorized to re-
main in the town. One of the worst
cases is that of 4 man married to a
Berlin lady, and whose wife and chill
dren are included in the order of eX-
pulsion. The lady intends addressing
direct appeal to the emperor. Her
husband has been for twelve years
respectable resident in Berlin. Among
those who are allowed to remain an
other six months are three students,
two of them Christians and the third n
Jew. All three are known to be quite
Indifferent to politics. Another young
man, whose passport is in order, and
who was apprcnticed to a locksmith,
is turned out without rhyme or reason.
His master regards him as highly re-
spectacle, and deplores his loss. The
same fate has befallen cigar mer-
chant, established for the last two
years in one of the large thoroughfares
of Berlin. He, too, is expelled, with
his wife and family, The list further
includes girl employed in a cigarette
manufactory, and a man who had just
arrived with his passport properly
made out, and who was served with
an order of expulsion without repo-lr
ing himself. Finally twenty Russians

A Patriotic PeOple,

An alarm which has often perturbed
the Teutonic soul has oEce more seized
upon the German nation. After the
war with France, determination was
made to purify the German language
ruthlessly at the expense of foreign in
terlopers, however convenient they
might be. To use one of the common
eighteenth century Gallicisms became
an unpardona Die slip in correct Berlin
society, and to have your letters di-
rccted poste reStante was to insure their
being delayed or mislaid by the patri-
otic zeal OF an official. In this spirit
the Germans certainly succeeded in ex-
pelling some odious words of foreign
parentage, and also in enriching their
vocabulary with some of the clumsiest
circumlocutions that missapplied inge-
nuity has ever produced. But for the
last two or three years public atten-
ton has been related, and the insidi'
ous invaders have again crept in in
consequence of a deplorable backslid-
ing. An official journal has been de-
tected using "titeln and "nationaf' in
the first three hundred words of a
leading article; but against this the
lovers Of echt-Deutsch may set the fact
that in state documents 'urschrift'
has dispossessed "original," " and "pen
sion" still later has had to make room

Tame Lions.

1t is often supposed that lions are
drUggcd or Surfeitcd with food prior
to gong through their performances,
though both suggestions are wide of
the mark. Drugs are unknown, and
food, from ten to fourteen pounds, is
given once day, In mcnagerics they
are fed in the evening, because then
visitors come in greater numbers, and
an extra charge of siXpcnce is made
for admission during feeding time.
The aquarium lions are fed pctwcen Q
aud 10 in the morning, so that they
have plenty Of time to digest their food
before the afternoon and evening per-
formanceS. Among other erroneous
ideas concerning the details of lion
tanning is that rcd-hOt irons are kept
in readiness in case OF accident to the
tanner The origin of the story was
that when MandCrs had his mcnagcrie
parailinc lamps Of the old form were
used to light the entrance. The round
burners used to get red hot sometimes,
and one night some spectator, think
ng that the rcd-heatcd burner was the
end of IN iron support, asked whether
it was not the hot iron for the lions.
Mandcrs, showmanlikc, was equal to
the occasion, and with the object of
investing the performance with addl-
tional excitement, explained that irons
were kept to assist the tanner in case of
need. Contrary TO the general belief,
however Il tanner does not care about
beginning with lions too young. As
cubs they are, Of course, easier to
handle, but as they grow up their tenn
per may grow worse, and may event
ually be spoiled by training. The
fraternity say that lion seldom alters
for the worse after he is , or 3ycars
old, and that when he reaches that age
competent trainer can pretty well
tell whether il will be safe to perform
with him or not at would be sui
eide said celebrated tanner the
other day, "tO 90 in to some lions; and
| think i can tell in very few minutes
whether Il strange lion is or is not
safe" Moreover, lions vary in their
temperament rs much as man. Some
lions are quiet enough so long as they
are not struck or pulled about; they
will jump, sit up, and do other fcats,
but must not be beaten. Others, again,
will never make good performers, but
will stand q good deal of flogging
without turning on the performer.
Livingstone, Selous, and Anderson
have left it on record that in theil
opinion lions are afraid of man, and
will not attack him unless molested.
This is doubtless well known to lion.
tanners, and is a trait of which they
take as much advantage as possible in
their care not to upset a stranger by
any violent treatment. Lion-tamers
as a rule, prefer lions to lionesses, ant
dislike troop of both sexes mixed
In such cases the danger of entering
Il den is quadrupled, and mischief il
pretty sure to result sooner or later
