when interviewed, said: "Mr. Mckee, who

ARE ANIMALS MUSICALE
The Beasts in a Menagerie Always
Happy When the Band Plays.

Decidedly they are. answers Fred.
estiug paper on the question to the Ani-
muis Guardian for April.
The keeper of menagerie was once
asked whether the band had any effect on
the animals.
To be sure it does, said he they like it,
and therefore it does them good. Ii you were
to come in aud look at them in a morning,
when the band Is away perambulating the
town, YOU will see many OF them, the more
savage beasts in particular. dull and mop
ing, and either sitting or lying in their dens
We who travel with wild beasts cannot, of
course, give them the room they they ought
to have; and, being cribbed up in show
boxes, they degenerate for want of exercise,
do what we will with them. But
it would be very much worse,
reckon, if it were not for the music. When
they hear the band strike up they rouse
themselves and begin taking what exercise
they can; the beasts Of prey by walking
backward and forward, and the others by
repeating the movements natural to them
when at liberty; the birds viii begin to
chatter and plume themselves at the sound {;
and even the snakes at times will uncoil and
rear up, and convince the people who some
times seem to doubt the fact that they are
living creatures.
Dogs, as is well known, are often taught
to dance to violin, pipe or drum, and even
to grind barrel organs. In the latter case
they very properly look extremely serious
But iudicious dog finds the harmonium
even more trying:
A writer records the case of dog--a
cross between Scotch and Skye terrier
who would come close e. a harmonium and
evidently enjoy the music up TO a certain
point. But when shrill note came from
that instrument of torture, he would point
his nose in the air at an angle of about
| forty degrees. and, stitfening his body in a
straight lie from the nostrils to the tail,
! emit the same note in "A manner which indi-
| Gated his pleasure, and sustained il as long
as did the performer. That artist generally

A certain pet cat, though as a kitten in

was over Here she took post on a chair
and listened gravely during the whole per-

extreme partiality for the treble notes. and

toward the boat. AS we skirted the
meadow she kept pace with us on the bank,
testifying her delight by antics of which no
cow in her senses would have been thought
capable. She would leap skip, roll on her
back, rear on her hind legs, then hurl them
alOft in the air, like kicking horse, now
rushing into the water to look at us nearer,

After these mad gambols she always re-

HOW TIGERS KILL THEIR PREY.
Some Commonly Accepted Theories
Exploded by an Intrepid Observer.
From the Madras Mail.

Some Commonly Accepted Theories
Exploded by an Intrepid Observer.
From the Madras Mail.
An observer has been among tigers taking
notes and has given the results of his obser-
vations to the world. AS general rule, be
is inclined to doubt the truth of the COM
monty accepted theory that the tiger, after
lurking III ambush, springs on the unex-
pected victim, and. tearing savagely at his
throat, eagerly drinks its blood. This method
of attack may sometimes be adopted, but it
is far more often the exception than the
rule. In approaching his prey, the tiger
makes the best possible use of cover, but
when further concealment is impossible be
will course a deer or other swift-footed
animal with quite extraordinary turn of
speed.
According to the account published by
the Homeudrd Mail, a sudden dash Of two
hundred yards in the open is nothing un-
common, and the author mentions the case
of one tigress, with whom be says he was
at one time quite intimately acquainted
who used 10 catch hog or deer almost
daily on perfectly open and burned up
plain. Small animals are, for
tho most part, despatched with a

The Biggest of the Season,

The biggest story Of the season comes
from Lincolnton. Mr. w. T. Murray, who
is merchant of that place, says that while
he was a soldier in Virginia he came across
farmer who had just housed a crop of pop
corn, and pretty soon af er the hands had
left the crib it caught fire and every grain
of the corn popped, and very soon the whole
plantation was covered with the white
corn. A mule, about % years old, in barn
near by, saw the barn covered with white
corn, and, though the thermometer regis
tered go degrees in the shade, the mule
froze to death, thinking that it was a terri
