Gated into something vastly different
from the wild bird of the desert
Once consignment of twenty-six os-
triches that had been caught for Mr.
Hagenbeck in northern Africa, during
, one of his long expeditions in that
continent for the purpose Of collecting
large numbers of wild beasts for his
huge Hamburg menagerie, escaped in
Suez, just before being loaded on
! board of steamer that was to convey
! them to Trieste. The whole herd of
huge birds escaped direct into the Nu-
bian desert and it looked as if they
were dead loss. The big collection
of wild beasts of which these twenty
six ostriches had formed part had been
slowly gathered and then driven by
native servants a distance of GOO
miles. During that time these AMI.
mails had become acquainted with
each other and made friends to some
extent. There were camels and ante
lopes and lions, elephants and
Abyssinian goats i'll the collection, and
Mr.. Hagenbeck relied on the friend.
ship and on the gregariousness OF
those escaped ostriches in his little
scheme to recapture them. And he
had correctly sized them up. He had
o band of Nubian servants drive the
goats and antelopes some distance into
the desert, all in heap, and sure
enough, one by one, the feet ostriches
returned to the fold, every one of
them.
Panthers and leopards are the most
treacherous and the most difficult to
handle, they and the hyenas. Their
hostility and natural antipathy to the
dogs are never overcome, and they will
seize every opportunity to attack dogs,
even when sure to get the worst of il
in fight and knowing full well that
they will be whipped by the trainer
besides. They are always treacherous
and much more dangerous to handle
than their larger and more powerful
relations, the lions, Bengal tigers OF
jaguars. They are cowsrdly and greatly
dread the whip, but that does not pre-
vent them from scratching or biting
the hand that will lay the scourge on
them the next instant.

But to get them first to live together
and to perform side by side in the
same arena, to dwell peaceably in the
same cage, is a great difficulty. But
since it is an indispensable prerequisite
for everything that is to follow the
animals must be taught harmony and
neighborly relations. OF course it is
only possible to teach young animals
to forego their inherited hatreds-
adults are past redemption. Young
beasts-the younger the better--are
chained and placed in the same cage
(of course out of harms way one from
the other) with other young animals of
different kinds. Thus they sccustom
themselves to the sight, the odor and
the peculiarities OF each other and
begin TO spprehend the fact that they
belong together and must, therefore,
get along with each other somehow.

auctioneer, who lately broke the record
by selling 345 horses in one day from
one auction-block, receives S7500 a
year for two days work in each week
at East Buffalo, This is $3.50 week,
or S75 day. The same man receives
$4,000 year for two days work each
week in Philadelphia, and because he
can not stand any more travel, he has
refused $4,000 d year to add to his

his own in Richmond, Va. He seems

Chicago The Fair and the Fire

One of the most remarkable facts
noticeable among the great influx of WIS.,

the great city, her past history and pres
ent wonderful growth, and the marvel
Gus rebuilding that has taken place since
Chicago was swept eway by the flames
of the fire of 1871 This is nowhere more
manifest than DIT the Cyclorama OF the
Chicago Fire, Michigan Avenue and
Madison street, where the beautiful eff
fects that the artists have secured in
painting the great confiigration are like

through the air by the hurricane that
was blowing on that memorable October
day, the topping walls, portions OF
which are shown in mid air, blown there
| by an explosion of giant powder, clouds
of rudy hue, tinted by the flames, the
shadows of which are dancing on the
doomed buildings-all so realistic as to
be startling in their effect, and one can
almost imagine the work of destruction
to be at the moment going on.
The visitor to Chicago will find this
one of the most interesting exhibitions
in the city.
