81 do not believe the animals know one
trainer from another, unless one has been
with them for a very long time, Tor when
some of my trainers have been taken sick,
been discharged, or for other causes have
left my service, the trained animal part OF
my show has not been interrupted, but has
gone on lust the same, a new man having
been substituted; and it is safe to say that
the animals never knew the difference be-
tween the men. I have changed the men
as often as five times in a season, and one
man has put the beasts through their tricks
quite as well as another. Any person VINO
will enter the arena fearlessly and conf
IDENTIFY can take the trainers whip and
make the animals perform as well as a
person who has handled them for months,
provided always he knows what tricks the
beasts are required to do and can supply
the cues.
IT am aware that this statement may APP
pear to most people extraordinary, because
it is at variance with their preconceived
notions concerning the brutal nature of all
wild beasts, but l am firm in my belief and
have no hesitation in making 1T public.

The Prayer of Islam.

l.
Armenia may be. after all. only a mere
puppet for sthe European powers, a. buga-
boo to stir up Turkish seares with and a
iack-in-the-box for dipionnats--the august
MIR. Gladstone among them. As this view
of the case is simply a matter of personal
opinion, argument would be futile in regard
to il. But there is one fact certain, apart
from all the pother about the reverend
ing Eastern question. The following is an
exact translation from the Arabic of the
official prayer of Islam, which Is used
throughout Turkey and daily repeated in
the Cairo "Azhar' University by ten thou
sand Mohammedan students from all lands:
II seek refuge with Allah from Satan,
the rejeem Cthe accursed.) In the name of
Allah the Compassionate, the Merclful, O
Lord of all Crea tures. Allah! Destroy
the inhdels and polytheists, thine enemies,
the enemies OF the religion. O Allah. Make
their children orphans, and deiile their
abodes. and cause their feet TO slip; and
give them, and their families, and their
households. aud their women, and their
children. and their relatives by marriage,
and their brothers, and their friends, and
their possessions. and their race, and their
wealth. and their lands. as booty TO the
moslems, @ Lord OF all Creatures!'
In all the other religions OF even the
semi-csvilized nations of the globe there
can be no prayer found to parallel this
cruel appeal of Islam to the spirit of in
humanity. Bulgaria. Damascus. Lebanon
and Armenia may or may not be mere hot
beds OF a~nti-lnrkish intrigue: with such a
national I~ayer Turkey stands sclf-con-
demned before the world.

1T is only at the imperial and royal courts
of Europe that the pretty page with the
dimpled chin 50 sweetly sung by the poet,
and who constituted one of the most pict-
uresque and romantic features of medieval
times, still survives. Royal and imperial
pages range in age from twelve to sixteen
years. They are appointed by the sovereign,
enjoy pay, prerogatives and perquisiteS,
much the same as do the grown-up attend
ants on royalty, and are ascribed certain
definite duties.
Gentle birth is the first qualification for
the post of royal page. AT the courts of
Vienna and Munich an ancestry of no less
than sixteen generations free from any
plebeian strain on either fathers or mothers
side is required. In Britain and Russia so
long a. nobility Is not demanded. The pages
of honor in the court OF Queen Victoria are
generally the sons of distinguished officers
Of the army, or of high dignitaries of the
royal household.
These boys receive 900 Il year each, and
when they have served n period OF five
years each is presented with "a COMMITS

wear gorgeous uniforms of blue and silver.
Besides serving on such occasions they have
to devote IA certain number of weeks every
