IL MASKED HE TIaER

When Pezon, the lion-tamer. was at
Moscow with his menagerle, he had Qc-
casion to employ mouiik, fine Speci-
men of a Cossack, to clean out the
cages of the wild beasts. The Cossack
did not understand word of French,
and the terms of the contract were set
tied in DUMB show. By way of instruct
ing him in his new duties, Pezon went
through sort of pantomime With the
broom, sponge and water bucket.
The mouiik watched him closely, and
appeared to understand the details of
the lessons given. Next morning,
armed with a broom, bucket and a
sponge, he opened the frst cage he
came to, and quietly stepped in. az he
had seen his master step, on the pre-
vious day, into two cages of harmless
brutes; but this one happened TO be
tenanted by splendid but untamed
tiger, that lay stretched on the floor
fast asleep.
At the noise made by opening and
closing the door the creature raised its
head, and turned its green eyes full on
the man, who, all unconscious of his
danger. stood in a corner dipping his
big sponge into the bucket.
At that moment Pezm came out OF
bis caravan. and was struck dumb oy
the terrible sight that met his gaze.
What could he do to warn the man vi
his danger? A sound, movement on
his part might enrage the great beast,
and hasten its attack on the defenseless
Cossack. So Pezon stood, awaiting
developments. ready to rush to the
scene when the crisis came.
The moujik. sponge in hand, cody
approached the tiger, and made ready
to rum him down with the stolidity of a

G a r. ENcAMPMENT.

A new publication under the name Of
"Official Bulletin, National Encamp-
ment Grand Army of the Republic
comes to our table as col. quarto
and weighted with news about the grand
Rational Encampment to be held in
Milwaukee this summer, open in Aug.
"a. In speaking Of the naval battle to
take place, the Bulletin says
This will be the first National Eh-
campment at which an attempt has
been made to present anything in the
way of a Naval battle. Indeed. the
Encampment was never before named
for a city where it was convenient to
indulge in such u. demonstration. The
opportunity for such demonstration
in Milwaukee is most ample. We have
the finest harbor on the Western lakes.
There is room for half million peo-
pie in perfect comfort to witness the
battle and the greatest fireworks dis
play ever seen in this country, in honor
of the victory the evening following
The Milwaukee Flambeau Club, orga-
nized five months ago, and which next
August will be the best of its kind in the
Union. will take prominent part in
the display on the government pier,
nearly a mile in length, the night after
the naval engagement. Their display
and the fireworks from fifty or more
vessels, steamers and other crafts in
harbor, will present scene which will
excite great interest.
la connection with this Naval Battle,
it is not out OF place to say that only o
small proportion of the land forces ever
saw naval engagement. The battle
in Milwaukee harbor will possess I'M
usual interest to nearly all of the old
soldiers and all Of the civilians who
come here next August 1t is needless
to say that the comrades of the navy
will be interested in it. Let us say TO
all that Milwaukee proposes to present
Naval Battle as closely resembling a
regular engagement as it is possible to
make it. The men on that committee
are determined that it shall be one Of
the chief features of the encampment.
The Naval Battle will be worth trav-
cling across the continent to see.

Valuable discoveries have been made,

tho veriest accidents. An alchemist,

Mezzotinto owed It's invention to the
simple accident of the gun barrel of a
sentry becoming rusted with dew. The
swaying to and fro of a chandeie in 4

lithographing was perfected through
suggestions made by accident. 4 poor

Not having pen. ink and paper conyen

days later, when about to clean the

Now that election is out of the way
bow about our electric plant and water
worH So Would it not be good plan
for tie new government TO inaugurate
a move in these directions? If the city
will use electricity after the plant is in
alere will be no trouble to organize a
company. 1t would be painful for pri-
waite capital TO put in plant and then
find the city unwilling to use it for
street lighting. In small city like
this everything must be utilized to make
a good investment. The same thing
can be said in favor of waterworks. If
the city will agree to pay SO much
yearly for ydrant use and protection a
long step win be taken towards success.
