Everybody who has visited a menag'
erie knows that the lion is capable Of
being taught. A lion exhibited in a
Dutch menagerie would leap through
a barrel covered with blazing paper
He was so tame that his keeper tool
his food from him several times, with
no resistance save a slight clutch and
growl.
If lion is captured when young
and treated with kindness, he becomes
attached to his master, and will follow
him like a dog. Anderson, the Swe'
dish naturalist, saw, in the hut of an
African trader, one who was not only
fond of his owner, but lived on the
most affectionate terms with dogs
cats and other domestic animals.
Layard says, in his Nine0eh and Bo
billion, that the pasha of Hilah, TIT
town built on the ruins of ancient
Babylon, had tame lion, who was al
lowed to stroll, unattended, through
the bazars. He had only one bad
habit; when he was hungry, he would
take possession of a butchers stall
drive out the butcher, help himself tt
a Joint, eat it, and then depart.
If he had a fancy to breakfast OF
fish. he would go down to the bank o.
the Euphrates, wait the coming Of
fisherman boat, scare away the owner
pick out the largest fish, and break hi
fast at his leisure.
The pasha encouraged his pet to ge
his daily ratiOns by this method, as l
relieved him from paying fishermen
and butchers bills. When the Iol
had appeased his hunger, he woul
stretch himself in the sun and ALLOW
the Arab boys to play with him, as
he were a large dog.
The captain of an English frigat
kept a huge pet lion, which he ha
reared from cub, that was so tame
to be allowed the run of the ship.
"Prince," as he was called, was mol
attached to his keeper than to b
owner. One day the keeper g
drunk, and the captain ordered him
be logged. The grating on which tt
keeper, stripped to his waist. was tie
stood opposite Princes cage. Viii
preparations were being made for IL
! logging, the lion kept walking arour

= Atthe first stroke of the knotted tai
