His Broom t,ysrared the Lions.

An incident happened at Barrum q
Bailey's show after it took up its winter
quarters at Bridgeport, Conn.,, which
shows to what danger an ignorant man
will expose himself and how he may es-
cape all injury. "Tody". Hamilton, the
we'll known and popular press agent OF
the firm, was asked for work by hulk
ing big German named Hans, and as
somebody was wanted to clean the cages
of the animals he was engaged. He was
told to clean the cages containing the
lions, tigers, etc., thoroughly, both in
side and outside. The man set to work
and Mr.. Hamilton went about his busi-
ness. He came back sometime afterward
and was wondering what had become of
the new hand, for he was nowhere to be
seen. On making closer search, Mr..
Hamilton was horriied to see the man
inside the cage with the five lions. He
was going about his work in most me-
thodical way, sweeping the floor vigor-
ously with his broom which he occasion
ally ssshooed'' into the faces of the as
tonished lions whenever any of them
came anywhere near him. The animals
were evidently SO surprised at the mans
utter indifference to them that they kept
huddled up in one corner until Hans
wanted to clean out that particular part
of the cage. They were unceremoniously
evicted with the help Of the broom and
they scampered around utterly forgetful
of their proper dignity. Mr.. Hamilton
never expected to see the man come out
alive, as he felt sure the animals would
attack him as soon as he started to leave
the den. He hastily got some of the
older hands together and then he or
dered the German to come out of the
cage. The fellow wanted to finish his
job and laughed at the idea of the ami
mails hurting him, but he finally obeyed
orders, and got out of the cage without
a scratch.
What prevented the animals from tear
ing him to pieces is mystery, for no.
body dares enter the cage in which these
particular lions are, as they are saw
age, unruly lot. The GOODNESS of the deed
must have utterly astonished the lions
and his steady use of the broom, which
was poked in their faces every now and
then, must have convinced them that
they had to do with some new species of
animal, and that under the circumstances
discretion was the better part of valor.
It was some time before the man could
be convinced of the great danger he had
been in ana persuaded to use the rakes
that are always used for cleaning out
the insides of the cages. These are pro-
vided with long handles and the man
using them can stand safely out Of all
danger while dong his work. New
York Tribune.

Novel way Of Colleciing a Debt.

A story told recently was of big
burly fellow who used to drive team
from the Kennebec Valley into Pisca-
taquis County, selling crackers for a
bakery. On one Of the outlying farms
on his road lived small man who had
won almost State reputation for beat
ing his creditors. He met the peddler,
who did not know him, and bought q
barrel of crackers to be paid for when he
came back along on his return trip. By
that time the peddler was posted on the
pecullarities of his customer. He wa.
told at the house he was out in the field
and went to seek him. When he asked
for his pay the little fellow cooked his
head on one side and looked up at him
with leer. .'Who are you2" he lisped.
~ don't know you. I never bought any
crackers of you." The peddler grabbed
him by the collar and began to swish tho
air with him. Don't know me, do
you2 Amt acquainted with me, hey2
Don't know who / aln2 Never bought
any crackers of me, hey?" "Yes, yes,
yes" the victim began to yell, ~ know
you now. I remember you. I'll pay;
III pay" The peddler dropped him,
accepted the proffercd money, and drove
on as if nothing unusual had happened
during his call.--Lewiston Journal.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

There is new tie rope for horses,

Il Is said that bicyclists who ride to

The use of the old saw cutoff ma.
chimes for metal is becoming as common
as that for wood. It is used not only
in the form where the saw is revolving
disk, but also in the form of a band
saw, and it is expected that in this shape
it will be possible to do work in iron Of
the same character as that done in wood
by the scroll saw.
As rule, the land stretching toward
the South forms peninsulas or narrows
off into points. That extending toward
the North spreads itself out bodily, as
may be observed byIooking at South and
North America, Africa and Asia, India
and Greenland. India, South America
and Australia have their southern parts
tipped with islands, as CeyIon, Terra del
Fuego and Tasmania.
Whether at the poles or the equator,
the worlds people are really travelling
around the sun, with the earth itself, at
the rate of about IS, 900 miles an hour.
The earth's motion is one of compar-
atively slow rotation, yet of swift pro-
gression on its orbit. This motion is
not perceptible, any more than passcn-
room below, knows how fast heis going.
DR.. s. P. Chan 1ler, of Cambridge,
discovered, last winter, that, instead Of
being stationary, the earth's pole moves
through circle with radius of forty
five feet during period Of 427 days.
This circle is not an exact one, however,
but is subject to perturbation of about
five feet. He has lately discover.l that
the pole has another motion during a
years time through circle with a di-
ameter of ten feet.
A French scientific agriculturist has
made series of remarkable experiments
with potatoes, in one of which he OBJ
tanned yield of no less than forty-two
tons Of tubers per acre. He selected the
best and soundest seed potatoes, plowed
the land very deeply and manured it
heavily. He also stepped the potatoes
twenty four hours IN solution made by
dissolving six pounds of saltpetre and
six pounds of sulphate Of ammonia in
twenty five gallons OF water; then he al
lowed them to drain and stand for
twenty -four hours for their buds to swell
before planting them.

The anaconda stretched itself at full

to swallow the ape whole. By the time
had prevailed on the men across the
river to come back and help to bury
their dead companions. and this office
was performed, the entire carcass OF the
orang-outang had disappeared except
for the head, which protruded from the
gaping mouth of the anaconda, which
lay stretched at bis ease, much gorged,

Stonewall Jackson's Horse.

Among the stores captured ut Har-
per's Ferry, writes Mrs. jackson in her
ssLife of Stonewall Jackson" not the
least valuable was train of cars on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, bound for
Washington, and loaded with horses for
the Government. This was lawful
prize, and was at once turned over to
the Confederate army, with the excep-
ton of two horses which General jack
son purchased. Thinking that HOSTILE
ties would soon be over, he selected the
smaller of the two, pretty sorrel, as q
present for his wife.
General Jackson had several other
horses, but preferred the little sorrel to
them all, finding his gait, as he expressed
it, .sas easy as the rocking Of a cradle. y
He rode this horse in nearly every battle
in which he was engaged.
''Fancy," as the sorrel was named,
seemed almost indefatigable. One reason
perhaps was that he always lay down
when the command halted for a rest.
His master made pet of him, and often
fed him with apples from his own hand.
After being lost for time upon the
fall of General jackson at Chancellors-
vile, the horse was found by Confed-
crate soldier, and kindly sent to the
Jackson family in North Carolina. He
lived many years in Lincoln County on
the farm of Doctor Morrison, father-in-
law of the General.
One OF the Morrisons used to say that
Old Fancy, as he was always called on
the farm, chad more sense than any
horse he ever saw"
He could make as good use of his
mouth in lifting latches and letting
down bars as man could with his
hands. One of his habits was to let
himaelf out of his stable. and then 90
deliberately to the doors of all the
other horses and mules. liberate each
| in turn, and then march of to the grain
| fields with them all behind him-like q
| soldier leading his command.
| But be was such pet that his misde-
meanors passed for cleverness. He waa
often taken to county fairs, where he
| was an object of as much. interest as one
Of the old heroee Of the war.
| He was more than thirty years Of age
l,when he died, in 1886, in the SOLDIER
| Home in Richmond. A stuffed efigy ol
| this old war horse may still be seen in q
glass case in the library Of the Home. --

LOVES DECISION.

n should say 'syes' to the banker,
y With his mansion on the hill,
He would dress me in silks and satins.
And servants would do my will.
But my heart would be aching for Jamie,
For Jamie so good and true.
And my heart would be breaking for
Jamie,
For Jamie my long life through.
If should say ''yes" to the banker
could ride in carriage fine,
And the great folk of all the county
( Would come to my houss to dine
But should be signing for jamie,
For Jamie so brave and true,
& Yes, / should be dying for Jamie,
3 For Jamie my long life through.
Ehe banker would decx me in jewels,
That queen might wish to wear,
And my hands would be soft and shapely,
And white as lily fair.
But o. I'd be lonely for jamie,
For Jamie so kind and true,
And should think only of Jamie.
OF Jamie my long life through.
They say was born for lady,
And would shine as bankers bride,
But truth is more fair than tinsel,
And love is worth more than pride.
And oh, should weary for Jamie,
= For Jamie so blythe and true.
And mourn for my dearie, my jamie
For Jamie my long life through.
Then fie for silken bodice
When it hides an aching heart;
And fie for the pride that's tempting
My life vita its love to part!
