The Lion Tanners Secret

The boldest individuals, says London
paper, who put their heads two or three
times day into the lions mouth, have
told me that the best way to withdraw it
from the gulf is, first of all, not to open
the acquaintanceship with this expert
ment, and, secondly, to perform 1t with
great nerve. Nerve, that is the great
secret of the lion tamer-the sole cause of
his authority over his beasts. When he
has studied subject for some time, en-
d9avoring to master its charaeter-and
among the higher animals the character is
very individual, very accentuated-one
morning the man walks quietly into the
cage. He must astonish the beast and
overawe him at once. As to the training,
it consists-and here | quote the words
of an expert in such matters-in COM
handing the lion to perform the exercises
which please him-that is to say, make
him execute from fear OF the whip those
leaps which he would naturally take in
his wild state.
There is one fact which no one would
suspect that it is easier to train an adult
lion taken in a snare than an animal born
in a menagerie. The lion of the booth
is in the same position as sporting dogs
which play much with children; they are
soon spoiled for their work. Pezon pos
sesses five or six lions which he has
brought up by hand As rule they live
with the staff of the menagerie on terms
of perfect familiarity, but this frequently
leads to tragic accidents. Lions, even
lions in fair, will devour man in fine
style. Can say that the fear of such an
accident is ever sufficiently strong to
make me pause on the Threshold of a
managerial No. / cherish, and like
me, you also cherish the hope that some
day perhaps we may see lion tanner
eaten. This contingency sometimes oc-
ours, in fact more often than is usually
supposed. For instance, without leaving
the Pezon menagerie, it is not year
since the proprietor narrowly escaped be-
ing devoured by his bear Groom, at
Chalons-sur-M Marine. He would have per-
ished if his son, Adrian Pezon, had not
thrown himself, saber in hand, between
the two combatants and killed the bear
on the spot.

DEATH IN QUICKSAND.
The Terrible Fate Of n Man In a Well on
Long Island.

James S.Parsells, who was night dispatcher
in the New York Postoffice, met terrible
death in Woodside J.. l. Parsells recently
built house at Woodside for himself aud
family, aud had driven well IN the yard,
from which the water supply for the house
was obtained. In order to secure a greater
force Of water, Parsells decided to add sec
ton Of pipe to that through which the water
was drawn from the ground. About o'clock
he began to dig hole two feet IN diameter
around the wei pipe. lie had dug down about
fifteen feet and was near the end Of the pipe
when he felt himself sinking and al once
shouted TO bis son, who WIS above, to throw
ropeto him. He had struck quicksand, and,
before a rope could be thrown to him, he was
down 10 his waist in the sand. His son
quickly summoned help, and in a few minutes
half Of the population Of the village was ON
the spot. A rope was finally thrown down to
the sinking man, who placed 1t around his
body, but all the efforts Of those above TO pull
him out were unavaiing, and he gradually
sunk until his head only could be seen. DR..
Wood obtained long rubber tube, one end Of
which he managed o. insert in Parselis mouth
through which air was pumped 70 keep him
alive, while dozen men we're digging around
him, but, after nearly five hours u suffering,
the unfortunate man died from exhaustion.
Some of the men who were digging came near
sinking into the quicksand and meeting a
similar fate.

A Curious Oil.

A well of mineral Oil was recently dis
covered near Bowling Green, KY, by
Ebenezer Cathcart, owner of a truck gar
den, while boring for water. 1t is so
clear as to be nearly transparent, of
beautiful pale pink color, and, while en-
tirely odorless when cold, if heated
highly emits most delicious odor, re-
sembling somewhat altar of roses, though
more delicate and subtle An experiment
was tried with a small quantity to test
its burning properties, when it was
found to burn slowly and steadily, giving
a soft, clear, lambent flame, shedding a
faint rose-colored light and filling the
air with penetrating fragrance.
When the oil was consumed, at the
bottom of the vessel was sound deposit
of number of hard, minute particles,
looking like grains of fine stone-colored
sand, which exploded on being placed in
water, with incredible violence when the
size OF the particles is taking into consid-
Grafton. The oil and its precipitate are
now being carefully analysed and expert
mented with by the chemists here, whose
opinion as to their properties is being
anxiously waited for, for the beauty of
the light the oil gives, its delicious per-
fume and the highly explosive quality of
the precipitate left all seem to point to a
discovery of immense value to the scien-
tiic if not to the commercial world

The strangeness of the scene, together
with the strong tea, seemed to Danish
sleep from me, and | must have been
there an hour with my eyes closed, but
quite awake, when presently heard
something stirring. and, opening my
ayes, saw the shepherd sitting up in the
doorway with his head resting in his
hands. After time he arose and went
out into the night air. He seemed I'M
easy, and began restlessly to pace up and
down in front of the hut. The dog re-
NAMED still, but | felt that he was
awake and watching his master, as he
walked neryously backward and forward
in the moonlight. Presently the shep-
herd stopped in front of the hut, and
came, with a hesitating and irresoluta
step, towards the door. He entered
slowly, and, STOPPING down upon his
hands and knees, crawled stealthly to the
chair on which my coat was handing; he
put his hand in the breast pocket and
drew forth the flask of liquor. And now
he seemed bes ildered, as if some strange
emotion had seized upon him, and then
fell upon his knees as if in prayer Sud
denly he seemed to rouse himself, and,
instead of drinking the liquor placed
the flask untouched back in the pocket
of the coat; then stretching himself on
the floor, with an apparent air of com
fort and satisfaction, went off to sleep.
The whole proceeding so haunted me that
it was broad daylight before l closed
my eyes. When l awoke, the sun was
high in the heavens 1t must have been
midday. My host had prepared break
fast-some bread freshly baked, tea, and
salt beef. He seemed quite calm, and
had lost the nervous, wearied look that
was noticeable the evening before. AT
ter our meal, he spoke freely of the
nights proceedings to me. told him

thought perhaps it might be So said he.
'tThe old craving came upon me again,
so strong too, but if ever | prayed for
strength it was then. Well, at that mo-
ment there was hand laid on my head;
a calmness came over me that had not
felt for years; and when | returned the
flask to your pocket knew then, as
know now, that another drop of liquor
will never pass my lips; and, as God is
my judge, l believe it was the angel hand
of my dead wife that rested on my fever
ish head. It's all over now, thank
heaven, and l can leave this lonely place
and return to the world again with safe

started to ride for the home station;
the shepherd walked some distance by
the side of my horse, and at last we
shook hands and parted. looked back
after time, and in the distance saw his
tall figure against the sky, waving his old
straw hat to me, while the faithful dog
by his side was looking up into his face
and wagging that expressive tail.
