In recent English autobiography,
"reminiscences of q Literary and
Clerical Life, 3" the author mentions one
of his exploits as a schOol-boy A

lance from the claws and beaks OF the
wild inmates. | managed to smuggle
myself under this rope undetected by
the keepers.
A magnificent old lion lay stretched
at full length with one paw outside his
den. A sudden thought struck me
that it would be fine thing to shake
hands with that lion. 1t was by no
means the sort of thing to be done
every day. It would place me in q
proud position among the boys Of the
town.
In moment [ laid my hand on the
top of the outstretched paw. 1t was
smooth and somewhat velvety, and the
lion lay perfectly still, appearing not
to mind me in the least
1t is not unlikely that l might have
gone on to complete the operation OF
handshaking. but all at once | felt the
cut of whip across my face. [ started
back with the pain and looked around.
At that instant the keeper came up and
spoke to me very civilly. He was
sorry to have hurt me, he said, but in
all probability the lion would have torn
my hand off. and this his way of max
ing me start back I did not feel so
grateful to the man at that moment as
I have done ever since.

Three Hundred Wives in One
House

The household of the Khedive Of
Egypt is happy one, for the Khe-
dive himself is a sensible, kind
hearted man, very popular with his
people, and very fond of his wife.
She was the granddaughter of an
ex-Sultan of Turkey, and. it is wills
pered, holds the matrimonial reins
rather tightly, and keeps so sharp an
eye upon her husband that he has
never taken a second wife, although
the law provides that he, or any
other man, may have four lawful
wives and as many unlawful ones as
he pleases.
Taking advantage of this privi-
lege, old Ismail, father of the present
Khedive, had in his different pal
aces three hundred at time; but so
wretched was his life, with so many
women to please and stand between,
that he offered fifty pounds and a
gold watch to any man who would
take one Of them off his hands. But
as no one was found courageous
enough to do it, he emigrated with
the entire three hundred to Siam
boul, where, | was told, they are all
living under one roof, and eating at
one table Mary ] Holmes, in La

The New York hypnotist who
cures rheumatism by dislocating the
patients arms and legs, Infringing
his vertebre and breaking his neck,
is a clever bonesetter, but he doesn't
head the procession. The Hindoo
practitioner, for instance, sends his
patient shining up a creased pole IN
the open air where he yanishes from
mortal view. Presently there is a
shower of fingers, toes, eyes, ears,
legs, livers and the like, and as soon
as enough remains come to hand to
warrant an autopsy they are thrown
into basket, the coroner sits on
them and finds the man very dead.
They are then busted off and put to-
gether, and the man, greatly rested

To Stop Dehornino.

The idea prevails that there viii soon
be an attack all along the line, from an
organized opposition, to the practice of
dehorning cattle. One deborner has been
arrested. It is understood by those in
in favor of dehcrning that that the sec
ond section Of the law passed last winter
by the Kansas legislation is aimed at the
owner of the cattle who permits the de-
herniDg. The National Humane society
proposes to make objections. Those who
believe in dehOrning assert that it causes
net increase In the value of each head
of $500. Awriter in the Lite Stock In
dfcafor says that societies are already
formed to stop the practice.-RanSas City
Gazette.
So far as we have heard our
farmers are a unit upon the question
of dehorning cattle, and ali who have
tried it are satisfied with the results.
The only argument that can be
urged against the practice is the
pain attendant upon the operation.
Farmers assure US that the pain is
not nearly so severe as might nat
urally be expected. That cattle
after being dehorned apparently
suffer but little pain, and as evidence
of that fact state that they will i'm
mediately after being dehorned re-
sumo grazing as though nothing
had occurred. Strong evidence, we
think.
Again there is another side to this
question of cruelty, and there are
certain benefits which might be
urged in favor Of dehorning, which
will more than offset the momen-
tary pain inflicted by the operation.
II keeps vicious cattle from injuring
others. Any one who has ever OBJ
served bunch of cattle in a corral
will appreciate the force of this
statement. More cattle can be
kept in a close place and more cattle
can be shipped in car so that as a
matter of economy dehorning is en-
titled to a careful consideration by
our stock raisers.

to see the figures climb up to 100000
cents, which is $500. As S. and 500
cents are equivalent, the result is puz-
zling. 1t cannot be urged that decimal
marks should be used. A cent, as such,
is as distinct unit as a dollar, and as

decimal cannot be pleaded in extenuation

What Shall the Harvest Be 4?

With the first of the year 1890
most people should drop from their
daily practice some of their sayings,
doings and actions that are not be-
coming to them and which do not
elevate them in public esteem. The
common GROWER should seek a
broader and nobler plane of action,
try to find some good in somebody
or something; erase from his nature
the soured part, put on a smile, look
at his own craven disposition and
thus elevate himself in his own
mind and in the regard of his fellow
men.
AL this milestone is good place
for the tattler, the back-biter, the
common scold, the man who talks
about his neighbor, the crank and
the disagreeable person generally to
drop their burden, gather it up no
more, let it remain there for rust
and decay. Let the ravages of time
bury these elements so deeply that
to dig them up will be impossible.
tits good time to make resolves,
and during the remainder of the
year good time to practice them.
How often do people have imag-
mary wrongs. Go bury them. How
often do we misjudge! Go, look
higher. How often do we say
things we would give our possess
ions to have the power to recall!
Go, bride the tongue. After we
are left to our own meditations we
invariably regret these occurrences.
1t is generally conceded that on the
first of the year people stop for
time, review their life for the past
year, and place some thought on
what their acts, deeds and thoughts
shall be for the coming twelve
Live life of character. Do not
build yourself up by pulling down
some one else. Be honest. Be
true. Be just. Let us resolutely
set our faces forward and advance
with a determination that the mis-
takes of the past shall not be repeat
ed, and that the victories of the |
future shall be such that our friends
Will look with charity on our errors
of the past.
