committee has raised about $3.50 in the last
two months by contributions solicited, and
still has $3.50 to raise by the end of the

enough to bring in at least one new
member.
The Board adjourned at 10 o clock, after
very profitable session.

Lion Tanning.

The advent of Colonel Boone and
his five liberated lions before the
American public is the latest circus
sensation. These lions are all set free
in the circus ring and are made to do
every act that dogs and horses have
been trained TO perform. Isaac A.
Van Amburgh and Herr Driesbach
were the most famous lion trainers
ever seen in this country until Colonel
Boone ar ivcd. The first two named
died years ago and arc only rcmem-
bcred By those who have passed the
half century milestone. A performer
of more recent time was Andrew
Pierce, who ranked next to Van Am
burgh in lion tanning. Frank Lawson
was at one time the champion in this
line. Colonel Thomas Davis, who
was nearly cut TO death in a den of
lions in C..cago was also famous for
his achievements in lion training. a
famous lion, known to older circus
men by the name of 'Old Parker"
and who died at Central Park several
years ago, enjoyed the reputation of
having killed four men.
Colonel Boone's method Of tanning
and training lions is entirely different
from the old-time customs. He never
cuts their claws, burns their mouths,
uses heated irons, or any of the old
fashioned methods lie cducates the
bruies by patience and kindness, and
by so doing is enabled to take them
from their cages and perform them in
the circus ring or anywhere elsc.-

A Railroad in the Arctic Circle.

In ono respect, at least, the Swedish
and Norwegian railroad between
Lulca on the Gulf of Bothnia and
Lutiodon on the shores Of the North
Sea is the most remarkable engineer
ing achievement of the present cen
tury. 1t has the unique distinction Of
being the only railroad in the world
situated wholly or partially within the
Arctic Circle, it being some 1900 miles
further north than any railroad III
Canada. An interesting meteorologi
cal fact stated is in relation to this
boreal railway, viz. ; That snow falls
much less frequently along The line and
in far less quantities than at points OH
other roads 1000 to 200O miles further
south, the darkness Of the long winter
nights being partly compensated by
the light of the aurora. The object in
view in conducting this "North Pole
through line" is to tap the enormous
deposits of iron orc in the Gcllivara
Mountains, the exhaustion of the ORC
in the Bilboa field making it absolutely
necessary that the iron-workers find a
new locality if the magnetic pole itself
has TO be undermined to get at tho

In trial in the United States court
where young man had been indicted
for passing counterfeit $40 bill, the
counsel of the latter, c. \. Baldwin
objected to General Strickland's course
in endeavoriug to prove by business
men the fact that the bill in question
was counterfeit, but to no purpose.
Finally, improving a favorable chance,
Mr.. Baldwin substituted good bill
for the Counterfeit, which genuine
money General Strickland then proved
by three business men to be the rank
est kind of counterfeit. Thercupon
Mr.. Baldwin vchemcnuy demanded
that attention be given TO his obicc-
tons and Judge Duudy insisted that
the District-Attorncy send out for
bank cashier and an expert With
great confidence General Strickland
handed TO the expert the bill-aftcr
establishing his bu.lnoss and his cx-
pcrcnco in handling monoy-and
said
estate to the jury whether, in your
opinion, that bill is good or bad?n
"This is a good bill, sir" returned
the witness.
"What" shouted the attorney, edo
you mean TO say that bill is not
countcrfcit?"
ayes, sir; if YOU will bring ii down
to the Omaha National Bank we will
give you the gold for l."
Then there was 4 sccnc, in the
midst of which Mr.. Baldwin managed
to explain to the Court that lie had
changed bills without the knowledge
of the Distriet-Attorncy, and that in
view of the fact that three good busi-
ness men had testified that the gcnu-
inc bill was counterfeit, he thought
considerable allowance should be mado
for his client-an ignorant country
boy-in mistaking a counterfeit for
good bill The jury were evidently
impressed with the idea, for they re-
turned verdict of acquittal. ~ TOma.

The Human Figure,

The proportions of the human fig
urc are six times the length of the
right foot. Whether the form is
slender or plump. the rule holds good
on an average. Any deviation from
the rule is departure from the beauty
of proportion. 1t is claimed that the
Greeks made all their statues according
to this rule. The face, from the high
est point of the forehead, whore the
hair begins TO the end Of the chin, is
one-tenth of the whole stature; the
hand, from the wrist to the middle
finger, is also one-tenth of the total
height. From the crown to the nape
of the neck is onc-twelfth of the

What First TO Do.

It's no use to grumhe and sigh,
It's no use TO worry and fret,
II is useless to groan OF to cry,
or fling yourself down in pet.
You'll never be wise or be great
lfyou bluster like bees when they swarm
'Tis folly your woes to bcratc,
And pitch like a ship in n storm.
Don't get in a tantrum and shout
When obstacles rise in your path,
AID don't-lct me beg of you-pout,
by way Of displaying your wrath;
Don't butt out your brains just to SPITE
Some fancicd injustice Of fate
For time will SET everything right
Ifyou'll only have patience to wait.
The clustering wind can not chill
The lake, though he ruilles is face,
But the frost, with its presence so still,
Locks it fast in silent embrace.
SO you may win fame beyond prcc,
And conquer tie world with its pelf,
Ifyou viii only heed this advice,
And first cufn TO conquer yourself
