THE DRIVING OF LIONS.
Prof Darling's Experience with His Big
Pets at HagenbeckR.

Pets at Hagenbech's.
One of the most difficult things in
animal training is the teaching them
to be driven. This is especially diff
cult in the case of lions. The king of
the forest, in the first place, objects
strenuously to having anything put
about his neck; and, secondly, to be
made to draw vehicle of any kind is
a thing to him degrading. Nero is al
legged to have had wild animals which
drew his chariots through the streets
of Rome. But Prot. Peck, of Colum bia
college, upsets this good old story by
declaring that, so far as he has been
| able to discover, neither Nero nor any
| other Roman emperor ever drove an
animal more dangerous than camel
1t was left to Prof. Daring. of Hagen
beck's trained animal show, to do some
thing often attempted, but never until
by him accomplished. He has tanned
| the monster beasts until they have
learned to obey his whips and voice
like horses Mr.. Darling has a whole
some respect for his big pets. He says
that lion believes in fair play, and
that, if he wants to fight, he will give
you warning, but, once he begins, he
will fight as long as he can stand.
'In my performance at Hagenbeck's
arena, l drive three lions around a
ring" says the professor. Years ago
could drive them around three or
| four times. They would do it grace
fully and we'll. Of late years l have
driven them around twice, and am
free to confess that the twice / drive
them around is more the result of their
good nature than because of any
power of mine. They are getting old.
Within year or two l must bid good
by to my pets, and either put them in
a menagerie, or send them adrift once
more in the wilds of Nubia. Man can
subjugate brute nature to a certain ex-
tent, but when he goes beyond that.
he becomes simple doll in the hands
of these gigantic brutes. IN. Y.

PRACTICAL RESULTS.
The First Year in Poultry Raising Causes
Many Surprises.

Ibe FIRST 1ear In Poultry Raising Causes
Many Surprises.
The best informed persons, those
who may have taken advan tage of the
experience of others, and who NAV
have resorted to all the literature TO
be obtained, will also find, when they
have passed through the first year, that
there were a thousand and one facts
that could not be detailed or explained.
In fact, many things occur with one
which may not happen with others,
and which may not occur again, but
every transaction is a contribution to
the knowledge of the poultry man.
1t is better to expect nothing the
first year. Something will be gained,
however, and that is experience. In
the management of large numbers
there are many matters which will
happen and which cannot be discovered
except by daily observation. Every
poultryman, whether beginner or
not, is capable of originating some
thing, and he is as liable to make a dis
covery that will revolutionize all pre-
vious theories and methods as is the
veteran. The beginner who has read
poultry literature has, however, a
great advantage over him who has de-
pended on experience alone, for litera-
ture is really the published experience
of others. There is no pursuit, how
ever, that does not require the practice
OF the theories to make them more ia
miliar and better understood. In the
poultry business one has to understand
not flock only, but the Individual
mem bers of the flock.
Practical results always point to sue.
cess The first year may be an entire
failure, with loss of time. capital and
labor, but the cause of the failure NAV
be discovered, and knowledge of the
cause may be of more value than the
pecuniary loss. One must not estimate
the results by the operations of
single year. Hundreds of farmers have
failed with crops one year and been
successful the next, owing to more ia.
vorable conditions the second year; and
the poultryman who has failed, yet
discovered the cause and learned
more about how to manage. may, in
the end, be benefited by his losses,
as he will be more careful and be better
informed in regard to future opera
ticns. Farm and Fireside.

Many Of b Fines Kinds In Exlstencs
Plentiful. but Almost Unknown.
Many of the finest woods In existence
are Jet unknown or only slightly
known TO the manufacturers Of wood
In the civilized world. The woods Of
Central and South America are perhaps
the most remarkable - well as the best
known. In the yet untouched forests Of
this continent are many woods far finer
than any of those now In use. These
woods range from pure white 70 Jet
black in color, and many Of them are
most beautifully marked and yeined.
Some of them are 80 hard that they
turn the edges Of axes, chisels and other
tools, while the band saw cuts them
only slowly.
In the Columbian exposition there
were many displays OF little known
woods, and the finest Of them were those
from Argentine Republic, Brazil and
other South American countries. Some
Of these southern woods yielded to the
teeth OF the band saw not the ordinary
sawdust, but fine powder, fine as the

Some of them burned but slowly. 9th
