An AGectiOnate Lion.

The superintendent of the animal de.
partment out in Wo0dWard's Gardens
tells pathetic and pretty story about
a lion they had out there. says the
San Francisco Chronicle. Al first he
was so dangerous that they did not
care to venture too close to him; but
by persistent gentIeness and kindness
the superintendent gradually made the
beast so fond of him that it liked to
have him 90 into the cage. and if he'd
lie down beside it the lion would raise
its head so as to give him soft place
to lay his. One day a drunken sailor
came into the gardens and began teas
ing the lion. The superintendent came
up and told the sailor not to tease the
beast. The sailor replied with an oath
and struck at him twice. The lion be-
came perfectly frantic with rage, and
roared and bent the bars Of his cage.
so much so that the sailor got fright
ened. If the lion had got out of his
cage there would not have been enough
left Of the sailor for 4 decent funeral.
At length the lion got some kind OF
tumor and was in great pain. One or
two slight operations had to be per-
formed, and nobody could get near
the beast except this man. The lion
let him cut and looked at him CRATE
fully all the time, licking his hand
when it was over. The tumor grew 50
bad that big operation had to be per-
formed, and it was with fear and trem-
bling that the superintendent under
took it, for the lion was in terrible
pain. The doctors could not 90 near
but they drew diagram of the lion.
held it up before him as he went on,
and made marks on it where he was to
cut. He followed their directions, and
all the while the lion lay rs still as if
he were undisturbed. Thc~last oper
ton did no good. The beast was in
such fearful pain that they had to kill
him. The superintendent took his re-
volver, and, after petting the animal
fired one shot through lis head, putting
the muzzle close to it. The lion gave
him q pathetic look, in which there
seemed to be mixture Of surprise and
reproach, but no anger. 1t took three
shots to Kill him, and all the time the
beast never took his eyes off the man
who was killing him. The superin-
tendent SAYS ne was never so curious
ly and deeply affected in his life, and
he could not help crying; even now he
feels the tears come when he recalls,
and he cannot forget it, the lions pitt
full look at him rs his head fell back
for the last time.

A QUEES's AMBITION DlsAppo1ErED

A QUEENS AMBITION DlsAPPoINTED.- -
1t is now twenty years since the cur.
tain was ruDg down on the bloody drama
which the imperalist party played on
Mexican soil, and what is the impartial
verdict of the men and women who knew
the inside history of Maximilian's reign?
l haved talked with several of, the lead
ing personages who played part in the
sad business, and they were among those
near To the emperor during his whole
stay in Mexico. They agree on one
point, and that is that Maximilian was
inadequate to the situation; that he was
vascillatiBg where Cari0tta was firm; that
he was swayed bither and thither, and
accepted the advice of the last man who
canght his ear, while Carlotta used men
and events with masculine strength and
was, behind all, the guiding and animat,
ing spirit.
Sheswas the daughter of the king of the
Belgians, had the heart of soldier and
the head of statesman. 1t was her
dream to wear an imperial crown, and it
was the loss of her crown, and not the
death of her husband, that unsettled her
reason. Disappointed ambition, and
not a shock to her affections, made
mad woman Of her. Her ihtimates here
say that there was no love lost between
her imperial husband and herself.
Theirs was a marriage of state and die
tated by no sentiment beyond and above
that OF governmental policy. She was
ardent, ambitious, a woman Of large
pxojects; he was better fitted for the
elegant life of scholarly prince, and was
unsuited to the tempest of war and the
clash of arms.-Nexico Cor Boston

The Manufacture of Paper.

The Chinese are supposed to have
been the inventors of paper. They
used rice, straw or rags of cotton or
linen for making their paper stock.
Modern nations followed their example,
but made few improvements on the
ancient process until within forty years.
Since then every decade has witnessed
great advances in this industry, SAYS
the Baltimore J0arHaI OF Commerce.
New methods, processes, and machin-
cry have been devised, new materials
brought into use. and new multifar-
lous forms of the manufactured product
now enter into the economies of modern
life. Rags are gathered in all parts of
the world and brought by ship-loads
to the United States. but they are no
longer the chief raw material. Paper
tibcrs are obtained from Old rope, jute
butts, straw Of the various grains,
from many grasses and reeds, and
from the wood of cypress, pine, poplar,
spruce, hemloek, Eastwood, sycamore.
and other trees. Now great mills pre-
pare the fiber stock for paper manu-
facturers, who buy it by the ton. in
bulk, and then work it into whatever
shapes their business requires. As it
costs far less to carry chemicals to the
forests than it would to transport the
logs, wood-pulr establishments are
generally located near sources of sup
ply. The chief chemicals are lime,
potash, Soda-ash, and caustic-soda.
These alkalies. dissolved III water to
make the cooking liquids, have been
employed in huge wooden tanks, in
which, because the temperature could
not be carried above boiling heat. it
was necessary to continue the cooking
. from two to three days The process
of invention has recently made it pos
sible to greatly reduce the time reguir-
ed for this purpose. The demand for
paper in all forms for old and new uses
is unlimited, and IS daily increasing.
In no part of the globeiS there 4 great
cr variety Of vegetable fibers than in
the south, whose canc-brakeS, swamps,

On the banks of the Licking River,
Just south of the outskirts of Newport,
in a little red shantv boat. live Robert
Fry and his wife. For more than two
years they have dwelt in this river
home in the most squalid poverty
Their only companion is Il little black
pup with four white feet. They man
age to sGbsist upon table scraps
gathered during the day by Mrs. Fry.
The latter is a horrible looking crea-
ture, with short, shaggy, black hair,
which hangs in masses around her
neck and shoulders. Little black eyes,
set far back in her head, and sharp,
protruding chin and toothles smouth,
give her the appearance of one of the
witches in Shakspeare's Macbeth"
Nine months out of twelve she runs
barefooted. and is never without pipe
in her mouth. In personal appearance
the man is much more attractive than
his wife. His hair is white as snow
and stands in disheyeled mass all
over his head, ears. and neck 1t is
kept back from his ears by Il red ban.
dana kerchief. Under his chin and
around his neck is heavy mutfier of
coarse white hair.
And this man is none other than the
slayer of Gen. John 4. Morgan, the
great Confederate cayalryman. At
Greenyille, Tenn, the 4th day of Sep
tember, 1861, he fired the shot that end
ed the career of the famous Rebel
guerrilla-the man who, on his North
ern raid, terrorized the residents of
Southern Ohio and Indiana. The story
of MOrgan's death is best told in old
man Fry's own words:
Il was worth almost S75. 200 when
the war broke out, he said" "Born

kleglc's company of sharp-shooters.
We were camped fifteen miles from
Greenyille when one night, shortly
after II O'Clock, n Young lady mount

hiding place of Gen. John A Morgan.
She said that he was at the mansion of
Mrs. Williams, where he was being
entertained in royal style. The ycun"

started back to our camp for she knew
she never would be received at the
Williams house again. We surrounded

PRINTING IN CHINA.
THE METHOD THAT HAS BEEN IN USE FOR
SIX HUNDRED YEARS.

A correspondent of the North China
Daily NcloS. of Shanghai describes a
I printing establishment which he found
/ In a village III the interior, about 150
| miles from Shanghai. The printing was
! being temporarily carried on in the vii
/ lage temple, and movable type only was
used. In the large central hall Of the
/ temple were placed about twenty ordin-
ary square tables, on which the cases of
type were spread out, very much after
the English method, only taking mp
much more room. At the time of the
visit one man was engaged in setting
type, another was printing. The former
stood before table, on which was what
may be called the Chinese cease" It
was solid block of hard wood, about
| twenty-five inches long by fifteen inches
broad, and perhaps three inches deep.
The inside was followed out to depth
of about a quarter of an inch, this de-
preston being still further followed ont
by grooves, about three quarters of an
inch deep. The block had twenty nine of
these grooves. each filed to the depth of
a quarter of on inch with ordinary stiff
clay. With his copy before him, armed
with a small pair of iron pincers the
compositor began his work; character
after character was transferred from the
case and firmly pressed into the clay.
When the ''form" was completed a fat
board was placed on the top and the
characters pressed perfectly even and
level with the surface of the wooden
block, the edge of which was cut to
form the border generally found round
every Chinese page. The printer now
received the form and carefully brushed
his ink over the type. Taking a sheet Of
paper, he pressed it down all over the
form SO that it might be brought in con.
tract with every character. He then re.
moved the sheet, and examined each
character, carefully adjusting those
which we're not quite straight with the
pincers, and apparently never touching
the type with his fingers. After suffici,
ent copies had been struck off the type
was distributed, each character being re-
turned to its particular box. The type
in the form was of three sizes, each char
acter being kept in place entirely by the
clay in which it stood. They were cut
ont of some hard wood and were per-
factly square. the writer was told that
the art of printing in this way had been
handed down in the same family since
the Sung dynasty, more than six hund-
red years ago. No strangers were ever
taught, apprentices being always taken
from the same clean. They were open
to take any work at the rate of about
twenty five cents day, which included
the two men, type and ink, but not pa
per. They were then printing family
registers. The custom in that part Of
the country is to hire the printers, who
bring their type and set up their print
ing establishment on the spot. In this
way the same business had been carried
on in one family for six centuries, and
during all this time movable type only
had been used in the manner here des-
cribed.

ing to become expert ard admiring only
the skill that may be attained in the ex-
ercise. We have no suoh thing as nat

your baseball, or polo, or the English
cricket. Sport WITH us means, as a rule,
horse racing, and undoubtedly our Jock
eys, of whom we think highly, would
compare f1vorably with the best that
this country knows. The exercise that
really occupies our attention as national
institution Is fencing, and that probably
arises from the military character of the
national life. Much of the energy that
the American youth puts into play and
physical contests is absorbed by the gov.
ernment in recruiting the army. Here

essential to really successful sport.

The DEMAND FOR RUBBERs. There
has been a wonderful increase of late
years in the demand for rubbers, and
they have almost supplanted the heavy
overshoe so popular a few seasons ago.
Lately the sales Of rubbers have almost
doubled, and the demand has Mt times
been almost equal to the supply. The
light rubber serves tho purpose OF
warmth and keeps the water out, and is.
therefore, of double advantage and safer
than the heavy oyershoe, as one is less
liable to colds If by some mischance be
should forget to put them on. There is
a popularity about the styles worn. Ell.
derly people wish a heavy full rubber,
and want them large, SO that they can
easily be put on and taken oft. The
middle aged person wants full rubber,
but as light as possible and perfect fit.
The young man or miss wants a tip that
is half rubber, just covering the heel
and part of the toe, exposing most OF
the shoe. They must fit like n glove,
too. To one who has experience i'll this
line of business it is easy to ''size up" q
customer, and one who understands the
trade rarely loses much time in selling q
pair of rubbers.-Dealeri in Globe Demo.

The Force of Habit.

A young man, who until recently
had lived ut the house of his father,
married a few weeks ago and went to
live in other apartments. Soon after.
at the end of his days work, he left the
office, bought an evening paper and
climbed the hill to his fathers house.
Entering the familiar precincts he
went 10 the wash-room, made his toilet
aud presented himself at the table.
The family, who had been watching
him curiously. eyed him with amuse-
ment, and "a last his mother softly
inquired: Robert. have YOU already
procured a divorce?" A flush suffused
the youa@ mans face, which rapidly
changed to crimson. Leaving the table
amid a roar of laughter he hurried out
and walked rapidly to his own abode,
where his young wife was impatiently
and anXiously awaiting him. He had
forgotten that he was married.
