New Circus business is always a
difficult subject to deal with, but when
the novelty announced takes the shape
of lions, the task must perforce be
difficult.
The show presented by Mr.. Dar.
ling in Paris is absolutely new both in
conception and detail. Hitherto all
performances of the kind had been ell
acted under cover of cage, but Oar
ling allows his monster cats to disport
themselves and roam at large over the
spacious arena of the circus.
The authorities of Paris were at the
outset unwilling TO grant permission,
but after witnessing the rehearsals
were bound to admit that every neces-
sary precaution had beel taken by tn,
management to protect the audience
from any possible fit of fury on the
part of their feline entertainers.
Darling makes his lions, four in
number, walk in procession, lie down
at command, ride tr cycles, and pose
in positions the most trying. Mean
while his big Bavarian boar hound
jumps backwards and forwards over
the artistic arrangements composed by
the skilful tanner, who completes his
triumph by harnessing three of these
''Kings of Beasts" to a Roman chariot,
and making them rush him round the
arena at gallop several times and
finally carry him off in right regal
fashion.

Musicians Of Royal Blood.

A correspondent furnishes the fol.

of royal blood: In England, Queen
Victoria and the Princess Louise play
the pianoforte and organ, the Prince
of Wales the banjo and the princess
the pianoforte; the Duke of Con,
nsught is counted fine flute player,
and the Duke of Edinburgh an ac-
complished violinist. The favorite in
strument of the car is a silver cornet.
The queen of Italy is well-known as
clever pianist. The empress of Aus
tria charms by her playing of the flute.
The empress of Japan plays the
national japanese i" "strument-the kotc
"a either of large dimen ions.
The queen of RoImania is mistress
OF the harp and the pianoforte. Tie
king of Greece plays with an astonisn-
ing virtuosity all possible melodies
with castanets and on wine glasses;
with similar cleverness he plays the
Hungarian cimbalums, which art Is

princess Sophia of Greece, under the
instruction of two Hungarian vir.

The Bishops Wit Saved Him.

A story showing the shrewdness and
ready wit of the Scotchman is told of
4 well known Scotch bishop who was
content to pass his life in single bless
edness. While he held certain see
be was, of course, an object of consid-
srable interest to the unmarried ladies
Of the neighborhood. One day he re-
ceived a visit from one of them, who
had reached the age of desperation.
Her manner was solemn, though some.
what embarrassed. The good bishop
spoke with his usual kindness, and en-
couraged her to be communicative. By
and by he drew from her that she had
had very strange dream, or rather,
ss she thought, revelation from
heaven.
On further questioning she confessed
that il had been intimated to her that
she was to be united in marriage to
the bishop. One may imagine what
start that gave TO the quiet scholar,
who hal long before married his books
and never thought of any other bride
He recovered, however, and, address
ing her very gently, said that doubt
less these intimations were not to be
despised. As yet, however, the de-
signs of heaven were but imperfectlv
explained, as they had been revealed
to only one of he parties. He would
wait to see if any similar communica-
ton should be made to himself, and
when it happened he would be sure to
let her know.

A BilIiardist's Habits,

| called upon George r. Slos=on,
who is the champion of the billiard
world, if there be such thing as
champion of that fascinating pastme,
and asked him what were the conditions
necessary to be observed to become
great expert. He stated in reply TO
my questions as follows
There ia a prevalent belief that
great tenors and famous sopranos are
the most sensitive souls in the world
and require the largest amount of care,
There is another profession, my own,
which requires as much care of the
body, if not more than that of vocal
music. Billiards, since it has passed
from a mere psstime to science, de-
mands the finest condition of the body,
and especially the nervous system, if
player ever propo es TO become an ex-
pert or q champion. 1t is very hard to
define what l mean by condition.
Every good player recognizes and ap-
preciates and alludes to it as being in
good or bad form. as the case may be.
The gene al public, and especially those
who have never played the game, can
not realize the extent to which good
play depends upon the physical organi-
zation.
GA few illustrations may give an
idea of this dependence. In making
a run every expert calculates exactly
whe the balls will be after a shot Il
made. No man is an expert unless he
can predict it to within an inch. Cham
pion players can come within a sixty
fourth of an inch upon a simple car
rom. TThis seems wonderful, but it
falls short of feat that has been fire.

experts and one French expert. The
three balls are placed in the form of a

five times and stopping in the circle in
Its original position. The cue ball

A Liberal German Prince,

The Prince then proceeded to utter a
protest against an article of a semi-Cfi
cial paper, giving out as the watch
word for the coming elections the sup
preston of social democrats and their
partisans. He declarei that he would
vote against the bill. Although he
was a most determined opponent of
social democracy, the government
must leave the people certain free
choice of means for arriving at COM
mon end. There was in social democ-
racy good deal of idealism, bat that
quality had gradually become rare in
Germany, having giving way to place
hunting
This closing remark of the Prince
evoked burst of cheers from some
section of the House. The speaker re-
ceived the warm congratulations of the
left and centre, while the members of
his own party vehemently reproached
him, and comnelled him to declare that
he had not spoken in the name Of his
party,

Mr.. Daniel J, Rankin is young and
sturdy Englishman who has just re-
turned from more than six years. resi-
Sence and journeys in the Zambesi
region of Africa, which is now attract
ing so much attention,
In the course of a recent interview
he says:
Slavery is rife not only on the upper
waters of the Zambesi, but even in the
immediate vicinity of Quillimane there
are praZos that are even now worked
by slave-labor. Every year large cara
vans of slaves, mostly owned by Swa-
nils, are brought from the Nyassa re-
yion, and absorbed into these districts.
| myself have SEN q large slave cara

"What sort of slave-labour is it?"-
The unfortunates are set to work in
gangs of ten or twenty men, women,
and children. Each of these Is pre-
sided over by negro who, armed with
a lash, ts only too eager to demonstrate
his authority. At Conceicao l saw a
middle-aged woman who had a heavy
child on her back, and after working
at road-maoing for which she would
receive no wages, from early dawn to
sunset, finally fell down on her knees
utterly worn-out and burst into tears.
But this did not save her from a severe
lsshing from the b utal fellow who
had, under an umbre la, been goading
her on during the broiling mid-day
heat, Such cases are not exceptional; /;
they are, on the other hand, of every
day occurrence"
Mr.. Rankin then went on TO describe
the lawless doings of the so-called
soldiers, mostly West-coast negroes,

tricts on the Lower Zambe-i and Shire.

Has a Temperance Beer Been Found.

Is II found! W hat! Why, the
much-prayed-for beverage which tee
totallers can drink without spelling
their digestion or running their morals.
The lack of a decent tempera nee
drink is the greatest drawback to the
temperance reformation. Tea, no
doubt, is an invaluable substitute for
beer, and many of US cannot under
stand how our ancestors lived before it
was "invented." But tea cannot be
brewed at q moments notice. and a
thirsty man in the middle of the day
is driven to ordinary drinking water,
gin@er-beer, or lemonade.
The ideal temperance drink must be
bright, sparkling, tasty, and with some
body and substance i'll it. The mana =
ing director came down to our office
the other day carrying with him Two
bottles of beverage which seemed to
comply with all these indispensable
conditions. Riley's Temperance Hop
Ale is the somewhat forbidding title
Of the new dr. nix, and our visitor
w6Xed eloquent as he descanted upon
its virtues. On the principle, however,
that the proof of the pudding is in the
tasting of it, nothing he could say was
ha,f as eloqu Mt as the beer itself. If
you drank it without being told what
it was you might very easily mistake
il for the genuine beer. You would
only find out your mistake when, after
drinking a considerable number of
glasses you found you were ''no for
rsrderI" and no nearer the point of
intoxication than when YOU began.
Our representative heard very in
teresting account of the way in which
the invention came into his hands. The
credit of the discovery really belongs
to an ex-private in the Guards, who
after he left the service had for some
time charge of temperance coffee
house. Seeing how much a temper
ance drink was required, he gave his
whole attention TO manufacturing one,
and after three years studying dis
covered the secret If manufacturing
beer without alcohol, thus producing
the beverage he now sells.
Although 1t is but of yesterday the
demand fo.' the new beverage is spread
ing, and it is said to have been greatly
in vogue at the stores (where they are
not allowed to sell genuine ale), where
"Old Riley" as it will be designated,
is found to be an invaluable substitute.
