MARTIN, rue LION rAMER.
Recognized by the Beasts After Five
Years Absence.

When the celebrated animal tanner,
who died lately, had retired to private
life. one day lie took a notion that he
would visit his former large menagerie,
which he had not seen for five years. lt
was in Brussels, and he started for That
city from his country seat near Rotter-
dam. At o'clock, the time for feeding,
be entered the menage:ie. Being winter
time, Martin was wrapped in CLOAK.
He mingled with the crowd and waited
until the animals would receive their
food, for which they were waiting with
wild impatencc. While they were ea'-
ing he began 10 cough. Suddenly tie
animals paused in their treat and lis
tened. then broke into wild howls Of JOY
and tore at the ron bars so ihat many OF
flo timid .iors fed from the menag-
erie. The Parrots, kangarcos, pellcans,,
and monkeys began to screech and
scream, the nyena and the wolves
howled-in short, it was perfect bed
lam.
Thcn Martin stepped forward With
q movement of his hand and with ms
powerful voice he con. ..d..ded silence,
and suddenly everything vas quiet. lie
swung himself over the lar which sep
arated thevisitors from the animals, and
put his hand in cages TO fondle the AMI
mails. A mighty tigress showed more
10Y than any of the others. When Mar
tins hand elided over her magnificent
fur her limbs trembled nervously, she
uttered weak tender grunts, and through
the iron bars. with her rough tongue.
she licked the face of her former mas
ter. When he went away she lay down
without eating any more food.
There was a lion named Nero who had
once bitten Martin in the hip and had
been severely punished by him for it.
The lion had an unreconcilable hatred
for the animal tanner. Nero made no
other motion at Martins approach than
lift his head and eye him intently. lie
remained in his place, lying still in the
back of his cage, when Martin came
near. Martin spoke to him. He did not
answer, but viewed Martin with ap-
parent indifference. But when Martin
was going away the lion, with a mighty
spring. entirely unexpected, threw him.
self against the grating, pushed his
paws through the iron bars, and with his
claws tore off part of Martins cloak.
3v a quick movement Martin escaped
another injury from this animal.

4 FIy Catching Mouse.

The firm of William II. Post & Co.,
of Hartford, Conn, have in their store
a helpful little mouse that is almost as
handy thing to have about as brownie.
No sooner is the big store closed at night
than the little chap comes out OF his
hole, hops into the big Illuminated show
window, and sets himself to work at
catching flies. He is very slillful at the
sport, darting hither and thither among
the flies that buzz up and down the pane,
while scoresof people gather in the street
and watch his performance. The little
mouse is far better than fly trap or
sticky paper, because he runs his own fly
trap without any help and does not have
to be set. What game he gets he slows
awav forever in his own game bag, and
there are no dead or dying insects lying
about in his wake. After getting meal
of flies he darts behind pile of rugs.
He is rapidly clearing the store OF IN
