centuries and centuries, until the
memory Of man runneth not 10 the
contrary, history and tradition tell
Us that women have made a practice
OF looking under the bed before retir-
Ing for the nights rspose. Begun in
early childhood II grew into the habit
OF maidenhood and the addition OF
mature years. The aged spinster and
the motherly matron followed it rs
strictly and religiously AZ the giddy
girl aud romantic minded maiden.
Generations grew up. performed their
functions, and went to their nice warm
graves, and were followed by countless
generations; but still always, in all
places, in every CLINE and among all
classes OF femininity, they adhered to
the practice of looking under the bed
for that which was not there. Their
religious beliefs differed as widely M
are the poles ssunder, and their ideas
of the proprieties were at variance
wild, but they had one bond Of union
an unwritten creed, but Of all women
understood and by ell followed more
scrupulously than any taught by the
churohes-they all looked under tn.
bed. The feminine devotees Of thi,
fashion Of course did not do this with
out some good reason, they expected
to find "a man there. What matterec
it to them If this expectation was
never realized. II for myrisds OF year,
they had looked and never found any
thing? Beyond, persdventure, they
could have given reason for the faith
that was in them and had full conf,
dence that some day their constancy
would be vindicated. In small towI
in Arkansas, the land of the traveller
and good democrats, the wires brine
the information that a man has been
found under bed. The ladies' faith
has triumphed. What their grand
mothers through countless generations
looked for has come to pass and un.
swerving democracy will hencefortb
cease TO be the distinction of Arkansas
and the latter portion of the nine
teenth century will henceforth stand
out pre-eminent in history as an ers
in which the constancy and faith O

it. then he got another wolf ana a
young bear, trained them also, put
them into an OK cart an6 with this
primitive sort of menagerie started off
to give exhibitions at country fairs.
One day at Bordeaux he heard of a
sea captain, whose ship had Just come
into port, who had lion that he
wanted To sell, so Pezon bought the
fellow. That was his first lion, now
he has at least thirty of all ages and
sizes. He owns a country house near
Montreuil and is rich enough to retire
from business. Bidel is another fa-
nous local lion tanner who has made a
fortune with equal rapidity. He is the
owner Of villa at Asnieres, where the
only things suggestive Of his calling
are pictures of lions painted by Rosa
Bonheur. His daughter is pretty,

care TO do so.
Much nonsense has been written
about the secrets of lion tmers. such
as that they drug their animals before
going into the cages, or thai they tame
the beasts with the aid of Nd hot iron
bars. There is no truth in sl,h stories,
and in spite of the fact that lion tanners
are now and then attacked aud some
times killed, most of the amin ais they
exhibit are quite harmless. The prin-
cipal secret of lion tanning is conf
dence; il is this which secures the man
control over his animals. Pezcn and
Bidel begin by studying the animal
carefully, and when the lion has be-
come used to seeing them they enter
the cage. The training is accom-
plished by taking whip and forcing
the lion TO do what is wanted. II is a
curious fact that lions which have
been caught wild are easier TO train
than those born in captivity, even
though the latter animals may be
tame enough to be trusted outside
their cages. This is something, how
ever, that no lion tanner who knows
his business will ever think of risking
with an adult animal, for they are a
treacherous lot, and Just as likely as
not il is the moment when he is appar-
emily the least dangerous that the king
of the forest will select for making his
attack.-Paris Cor. New Orleans Plea

Renrehensihle PRACTICES.

Gross and brutal as some Of the Gus
toms have been in American colleges,
they are fast ameliorating, while the
bitter rivalry of classes and of societies
has passed into a reasonable good will
and courtesy. But recent reports from
German universities show that the
ludicrous but vicious antagonism of
corps is still about as strong as ever.
There are at Heidelberg five Of these
corps that include each about 100
members. These are distinguished by
the color Of caps wsrn. The members
never recognize each other nor hold
any sort of communication. But they
fight duels with ferocity that shames
any stage of civilization. II must not
be understood that these are sham
duels, for Germans do not believe in
shams of any sort. They are genuine
and bloody. The combatants always
carry off wounds that give them life
scars, not seldom a slash manning a
fighter by depriving him of an ear, a
piece Of his nose or an eye. The duel
with beer is more disgusting, but less
brutal, for no brute would drink more
than he needed; but these young fell
lows gauge their manhood by the
bumpers swallowed.-St. Louis Globe
