shaped frames of cedar wood are gener-

child's knees are effected by boiling
and bending the wood into shape. The
characteristics of these cradles are the
headboards, like a little gravestone,

symbol of the owner. Streaks of red
paint skirt the margin. and the bed
consists of a mass of finely shredded
cedar bark.

Surgical Operation Upon u Liouess. =

Yesterday morning Keeper Havens.
of the Gress Zoo, performed a very
delicate operation.
The silver ~lioness, "Mollie," chewed
up a piece of raw beef which tIe
butcher had chopped up with a cleavef.
leaving some fragments of bone in the
flesh. 1t is not the custom of the
keeper to give the animals flesh that
contains amy bone ut all. In this in
stance a sharp silver of bone pierced
the lioness' gum on the outside of the
jaw, next to the cheek, just below the
left eye.
The place swelled up and festersi.
md the animal suffered q great deal
OF pain. Her head was swollen and
she was unable to eat.
Yesterday morning Keeper Havens
Went to the cage, and by coaxing the
iioness lie got her to lie down, and then
he slipped ropes over her fore feet,
stretching them to either side of the
cage and tying them securely.
"Mollie" kicked and struggled until
the keeper fondled her awhile. After
she was secured he entered tile cage
all alone, and. taking her head between
his knees, he cut a small incision in
the cheek, took his lance aud drew out
the silver, an inch in length.
He did the work all alone, and no
else was present during the per-
formance Of the operation.
Yesterday afternoon, after she had
been released several hours, he visited
the cage, and she met him with q gratis

bars of the cage as if she was glad that
he had performed the operation that
relieved her, and she appeared as

around its body, hugging it with all
his might and main. simultaneously
the startled fish dashed the water with
its tail and fins, and vainly used all of
its enormous power to shake off its as

maintained his hold and was dragged
along upward with the scaly monster.
