a HAPPY FAMILY.
a Sight to Be Seen in London That
Is Unprecedented.

1t was the late p. T. Barnum who
originated the novelty in animal shows
known as the Happy Family, but like
many others which have since been ex-
hibted. Barnum's Happy Family was
not very startling mixture of animals,
consisting, as it did, only of cats, dogs,
monkeys, rabbits, and goat.
At the Crystal Palace in London, how
ever, there is at present on exhibition q
happy family of animals which has at-
tracted great attention among natural
lists and the gcacral public. There are
lions, tigers. cleetahs, lcopards, bears
and boarhoundS, which most persons
will acknowledge make surprising
combination. The man who has accom-
plished the hitherto considered impossi-
BILE feat of training carnivora to live,
play, and sleep together in perfect har
mony is Herr Carl Hagenbeck, the
largest dealer in wild animals in the
world, and whose place of business in
Hamburg is one of the sights of the city.
All the animals in his happy family
are young, the oldest in the group being
the Thibet bear, which is little over
years old, and they were all trained by
kindness, clubs or red-hot irons not
being used in their education.
Under the direction of the trainer and
his assistants, the animals perform
variety of striking feats. Lions and
tigers walk on revolving globes and ride
tricyles, while q couple of lions play at
see-saw, the Thibet bear acting as a
plank balancer. This bear is practically
the clown of the company. Then lion,
covered with a crimson cloak, is seen
rcposing in chariot drawn by harnessed
tigers, while two boarhOunds act as foot
men.
When the entertainment proper is over
the real fun commences. The wild
beasts left to themselves are literally as
playful as kittens, and gambol one with
the other in the most quaint and anus
ing way. The animals have been in
close training since September last, and
have never previously been shown to the
public A few losses have occurred
among the young ones through teethinG
and other complaints, but no difficulty
whatever has been found in maintain
ing the most perfect peace. The trainer,
who has been devoted in his attention
to the animals, has been bitten three
times, but not by wild beast, one dog
being the Offender on every occasion.
Indeed, the boarhounds are said to have
been more difficult to keep in order than
all the other members of this remarkable
company.-TNew York Sun.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

a covetous man cannot own any
thing.
Birds with bright feathers are not
always fat.
Your most deadly sin is the one you
love the most.
Love never has to go to school to-
learn how to speak.
He that speaks doth SOW; he tia
holds his peace doth reap.
The road TO home happiness lies over
small stepping-stones.
Slight circumstances are the STUN
bling blocks in families.
When we destroy an old prejudice we
have need of new virtue.
Life is a su ccession of lessons which
must be lived to be understood.
If our eyes were better the stars
would give us more light.
Every day a man hears dozen things
he ought to do that he can't do.
In life there are as many pillows ofil-
lusion as flakes in snow-storm.
There are too many people who are
only pious when things go right.
A man may have great deal of edu-
cation and not be very wise after all.
When people are hired to be good
they quit work as soon as the pay stops.

Tolls OF Authorship.

The craft Of authorship is by no
means so easy Of practice as is gen.
orally imagined by the thousands who
aspire to it. Almost all our works,
whether of knowledge or of fancy,
have been the products of much exer-
tiOn and study.
Pope published nothing until il had
been year or two before him, and
even then his printers proofs were
very full of alterations; and on one
occasion DOdsley (his publisheO
thought it better to have the whole
matter recOmposed than make the
corrections.
Goldsmith considered four lines a
day very good, and it took him seven
years TO beat out the pure gold Of
''Thc Deserted Village" Hume wrote
his History Of England" on a sofa,
and he went on quietly correcting
every edition until his death.
Robertson used to write out his
sentences on small slips of paper,
and after rounding and polishing
them to his satisfaction he entered
them in book; which, in its turn,
underwent considerable revision.
Burke. the eloquent statesman and
aathor, had all his principal works
printed two or three times at a pri-
yate press before submitting them to
his publisher. Akenside anG GRAY
were interchangeable correctors, labor
ing over every line; but how fine Is
the "Elegy" Of Gray. The imagina-
tive poet Thomson was of the same
category, and upon comparing the
first and latest editions of the Sea
sons" there will be found scarcely a
page which does not bear evidence o.
his taste and industry.
Johnson used to think that the
poems lost much of their raciness un.

Gibbon sent the first and only Ms. Of

Too Many OF Them Married.

y curious and somewhat pathetic
story comes from Edinburgh, Scot
land. The Cameron Highleuders,.
who until recently formed the gar
rison of that city, received orders for
Malta. The regiment had been sta
toned in the city during a longer
period than is usual, and it was dis.
covered on their departure that no
less than 25O soldiers had married, in
defiance Of the army regulations
The wives, on the departure of their
husbands, had to be left behind. Not
more than per cent. of a regiment is
allowed the privilege Of taking wives
with them on their travels, and these
must have had permission t. marry.
Much sympathy is felt in the city for
the wives left behind. Seeing that d
private soldier can send home only a
small sum of money weekly, even
under the most favorable conditions,
the lot of the unfortunate wives is
most pitable one y public fund j.
Neing raised for their assistance.
