BATHING A TIGER.
1t Worked without Difficulty. But 1T
Was a Risky Experiment.

When Pezon, the lion tanner, was at Mos
COW with his menagerie, he had occasion to
employ a moujik, a fine specimen of a Cos
sack, to cleSaA out the cages of the wild
beasts. The Cossack did not understand a
word of French, and the terms of the con-
tract were settled in dumb show. By way
of i~nstructing him il his new duties. Pezon
went through a sort of pantomine with the
broom, sponge and water bucket. The
moulik watched him closely, and appeared
to fully understand the details of the lessons
given. Next morning, armed with a
broom, a bucket and a sponge, he opened the
first cage he came to and quietly stepped in,
as he had seen his master step on the previ-
Gus day into two cages of harmless brutes;
but this one happened to be tenanted by a
splendid but untamed tiger that lay
stretched on the floor fast asleep.
At the noise made by opening and closing
the door the creature raised it's head and
turned its green eyes full on the man, who,
all unconscious of his danger, stood in a
corner dipping his big o into the
bucket. At that moment Pezon came out of
his caravan and was struck dumb by the
terrible sight that met his gaze. What could
he do to warn the man of his danger? A
sound, a movement on his part, might en-
rage the great beast and hasten its attack on
the defencelesS Cossack. So Pezon stood.
awaiting developments; ready to rush to
the scene when the crisis came. The mou-
jik, sponge in hand, coolly approached the
tiger and made ready to rub him down with
the stolidity of a military bootblack polish
ing his captains boots.
The sudden application of cold water to
its hide evidently produced a very agreeable
effect on the tiger, for it began to purr,
stretched out its paws, rolled over on its
back, and complacently offered every part of
its body to the vigorous treatment of the
moujik, who e on scrubbing with might
and main. All the while Pezon stood there
with his eyes wide open, and as if nailed to
the spot. When he had finished his job the
Cossaek left the cage as quietly as he had
entered it, and it required the most ener-
getic and expressive gestures ON the part of
the hon-tamer to prevent his repeating the
experiment on a second wild beast.-Phila-
delphia Telegraph.

NAPoLEoN's MS.
The Emperor's Conviction That His
Fatal hetter Was WI.


Fatal letter Was WI.
Napoleon /. was a ~fatalist, and among his
superstitions was a frmly-rooted notion that
places and persons whose names began with
the letter M possessed immense power over
his fortunes for good OF for evil. An in
genious Frenchman, evidently inclined to
believe that there was some good ground for
Napoleon's faith, makes up the following
strange list Of Ms: Six marshals-Massena,
Mortier, Marfnont, Macdonald, Murat and
Moncey-without counting twenty-six divi-
sion generals. Moreau betrayed him. Mar
settles was the place where he encountered
the greatest difficulties at the commence
ment of his career. Marboeuf was the first
to suspect his genius and to shove him ahead.
His most brilliant battles were Montenette,
Mantua, Millesimo, Mondovi, Marengo,
Malta, Mont Thaber, Montmirvil, Mormans,
Montereau, Merry, Montmartre ASSAULT,
Mont7Saint-Jean, the last at Waterloo. At
the siege of Toulon his first point of attack
was Fort Malbousquet. There he singled
out Muiron, who covered him with his body
on the bridge of Arcole. Milan was the
capital Of his new kingdom. Moscow was
the last town that he took. Menon made
him lose Egypt. Miellis was selected to cap
ture Plus VII. Malet conspired against him.
M~stternich beat him automatically. Maret
was his secretary and confidant. Montalivet
was his minister, and Montesquieu his first
chamberlain. In 1895 he married Josephine,
and in March, 1910, he married Marie Louise.
In March, 1911, the King of Rome was born.

allure Appreciated,

NAutCu
Mr.. Howells' recent article, "The Liter
airy Man as a Man of Business contains
passages of the most generous appreciation
OF the magazines and the heartiest acknowl-
edgnlent of their value. His criticism is the
criticism of a believer in them and their
office, and a friend. 1t is almost unjust to
call it a criticism at all. But in this point /
believe their attitude is better than he sup
poses it. He feels keenly, one seems to read
between the lines, the absence of
any great and strong forcs tending
toward a worthy creative literature
as it is perhaps not too much to say that we
an feel it. The causes lie, / cannot but
think outside his present inquiry-perhaps
IN as large and intricate a phenomenon as
the recurring cycles of different forms Of
intellectual activity, with the different
problems to which they correspond; perhaps
in a much simpler and less imposing ex-
PLANTATION. II he said that the magazines
must, for the present, do without the high
est form of pure literature except in very
moderate quantities, he would say what Is
true OF them as of the whole time; but when
ne says they do not want it, l think he be-
heves them less at one with him thar they
are.-Sc1ibne1's for December.

LIvELINEss OF ooNsTANTINopLE

The most striking pecnliarity of Constan-
tinople is the immense vitality which has
carried it through SO many deaths. It is
common to speak of Turkey as the s.sick
man" and to associate ideas of ruiz and
decay with one of the most intensely living
cities in the world. But no one who has
spent even t~wenty-four hours on either
side OF the Golden Horn could ever conceive
OF anything even Instantly approaching to
stagnation in the streets of STEAMBOAT. or on
Galata Bridge, or in the busy quarters of
Galata itself, or of Pera above. Coming
from Europe, whether from Italy or Aus
tria, one is forcibly struck by the universal
life, liveliness and activity of the capital.
There is no city in the world where so many
different types of humanity meet and iostle
each other and the stranger at every turn.
Every nation in Europe is represented, and
every nation of Asia as welI.-F. Marion
