BULWER'S ODDITIES.
The Fight That He Made Against All
 Signs of Old Age.

Signs of Old Age.
 BulWer's appearance was decidedly what is generally understood by 'aris- tocratic, or what the French call "dis- tingue" Tall, slim, with finely cut fea- lures, prominent among which was a long aquiline nose, with an abundant crop of curly brown hair and full beard, the first impression he produced, aided by a careful toilet, was one of ease and elegance. At a dinner table, where he liked to speak, and, if possi- ble, to speak alone, lie was certainly useful as well as ornamental, with bis large blue ribbon and star of the Order of the Bath. There was a certain mai. vete, strange as that word may sound when applied to so confirmed man o1 the world, in his vain and very appar- ent struggle against the irresistible en. croachments of age. He did not give in with that philosophical resignation which might have been expected of one so clever and ill some respects so wise. He fought against it tooth and nail. Lord Lytton's hair seemed dyed, and his face looked as if art had been called in to rejuvcnate it. A quack i'll Paris had pretended to cure his growing deaf ness, constant source of legitimate grief to him. He was radiant one au- tumn on his return to town because he thought he was cured, but not for long. The copious use of snuff was no doubt part of the attempted cure, of which the most palpable results were large

WHY SK0ET 1SYWK1

It was Edward I who, on the refusal of the "Black Dog of Warwick to join the king with vassals and supplies for war, said, "Sir Earl, you shall either go or hang" The retort was, "Sir Rex, will neither go nor hang"
 Henry W of France was good natured above most monarchs in repartee. As a rule, it is impossible to reproduce in con- ventional English dress the jests of this wise and witty king. On one occasion it was the tlarn of M. d'Aubigne to sleep in the kings antechamber Fancying the monarch was asleep, he began to talk to M. de la Force, who shared his watch, saying, "Your master is the most un- grateful of men," La Force, half asleep, asked him what he was talking about, when Henry cried out: Wake up! He is telling you am the most ungrateful of men. l."
 ''Pray go to sleep, sire," interrupted D'Aubigne. We have great deal more to say about you" Henry never showed less kindliness to his servant on account of what he had overheard
 But the cynical generosity of Freder- ick the Great is unique. A lackey who owed him grudge had determined to poison him. One morning he brought in the kings chocolate and appeared visi- bly, troubled in countenance. What ails you?'' said Frederick, looking fxedly at him. You look as if you had put poi son in my food" " The wretch fell at his feet and avowed his crime. "Get out of my sight, you scoundrel!'' said Freder- ick and took no further notice of the man s attempt to murder him.
 A delicate compliment is a work of far higher art than the most biting sar- casm. Every one knows the story of the poor creature who found himself seated between Mime. Recamier and Mme de Stael, and managed to offend them both by saying that he sat between wit and beauty, and was crushed by the rotort of Mime. de Stael that he possessed nei- ther The court of Louis XIV was the school where this art was brought to perfection. The flattery offered to the king by the men of genius was at once coarse and exquisite. Witness the inim- itable reply of Mignard, who was paint ing the kings portrait for the tenth time, when Louis asked him, Do look older?'
 II see a few more campaigns on the brow of your majesty.
 One of Louis marshals, Bassompierre, was great at repartee He had spent ten years in the Bastille, and on emerging his majesty asked him his age. Fifty, sire.

GRANDMOTHER's DOLLARS.
What Her Descendants Might Have Had
 In Interest From Them.


 Awoman recently died in aneighbor- ing town, and besides a granddaughter and her cynical husband she left few relatives and $8O in gold, with other things. The woman Was over 95 when she died, and the $50 included her we'd ding presents. Like many persons ill those days, she held fast to the shining eagles and had had them for nearly H years. When she died, of course 4the birds were distributed among the heirs. The cynical husband, who was married to the old lady s favorite granddaughter, unused upon the $50 in gold and strip ped his thoughts of all sentiment as he speculated in his mind what might have been. He is not quite through figuring yet, and his constant query is, if grand mother had only put that $8O in the bank when she first got it, what clutch of golden eagles we would have now! He unused on this as he got ready on cold mornings to go to work, and his favorite topic of thought was suggested as he jingled a nickel and bunch of keys looking for his car fare. Then he began to figure that money at 6 per cent double in about Il years, and he lost sleep as he thought how many times II years went into 77 years When the cynical husband finally referred the question of his losses to a bank man, ho learned that in 50 years the $50 ill gold would have amounted to $1, 473. 60. Without figuring any further on the problem, the bank man said he would easily consider that $1O, 900 was lost by saving the $8O
 It is not an unusual thing in some of the old banks to have an account doubled many times over and over again One day last week i'll the Worcester county institution for savings an account was reckoned at $214O3 which originally was but $1O.G Nothing has ever been added to or taken from the bank account, and it was left to accumulate. It took about 50 years for the original sum to gather all that moss. There was anoth- CT instance in the same bank where thirty-one times the original sum was paid to a depositor. No one won ders that somebody discovered and said that money makes money. Worcester (Mass. Gazette.

and tell it in German to got away, and it did so. The man repeated his expert ence every day and was never harmed. I now make this positive statement that ill both the handling and training of these animals there is no more dan ger than attends the training of 8 do- nestle animal The snarling and grow l. ing of the beasts are no more indicative of a desire to claw and devour than is expressed in the bark or snarl of ca nine house pet or the hiss of sleek tabby when it's tail is stepped upon. The big brutes may growl and crouch about their cages, look dangerous and act ferociously and all that, but con- tend, and experience has taught me that my belief is correct, that it is only through a desire to escape from the man rather than to attack him.
 ''It takes time and patience, more than any one not in the business can imagine, to perfect the training of these animals, aud every trainer has meth cd of his own. I would further explain that trained animals will not perform the tricks taught them until the cue is given them. Even trained horses, which are supposed to have great intelligence, will only go through their performances when the ringmaster supplies the cue, whatever it may be. Sometimes it is a motion of the whip, at others a step backward or forward, when instantly the animal will respond. Now, all that is necessary for any one to put through his performances any kind of trained animal or number of them is for him to know when to give the proper cue.
 II do not believe the animals know one trainer from another unless one has been with them for long time, for 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 just the same, a new man having been substitut- ed, and it is safe to say that the ami malls never knew the difference between the men. 1 have changed the men as of ten as five times in a season, and one man has put the beasts through their tricks quite as we'll as another. Any person who will enter the arena fear lessly and confidently can take the trainers whip and make the animals perform as we'll as a person who has handled them for months, provided al ways he knows what tricks the beasts are required to do and can supply the cues
 ''I am aware that this statement may appear to most people extraordinary, be- cause it is at variance with their precon- ceived notions concerning the brutal nature of all wild beasts, but I am firm in my belief and have no hesitation in making it public. ''-New York Sun.

SPECIMENS OF WIT.
SOME HISTORIC FLASHES OF SPON-
 FAMOUS HUMOR.

Not a Few European SOvereigns Have
 Been Fond of and Given to Repartee.
 Clever and Brutal Jests Passed Among
 Englishmen of Long Ago.
 Generally speaking, the strong have refused to put up with testing from the weak. The Czar Nicholas, who had some fine qualities, was hardened against meditated act of clemency by the un- daunted spirit of a prisoner. Relief, a man of letters, had been implicated in the conspiracy of 1895 and sentenced to be hanged. He was launched from the fatal ladder, when the rope broke and he was thrown to the ground, severely bruised, but conscious. He picked him. self up and said quietly, 'They can do nothing in Russia, not even twine cord properly. It was customary in Russia to pardon the condemned after similar fiasco, but on Relief words being re- ported to the czar and his pleasure de- manded he replied, Prove him the con- trary."
 Henry VIII, with all his violence and tyranny, could bear with a retort as we'll as give one, for he loved wit. When it was told him that the pope had sent the cardinals S hat to Fisher, bishop of Rooh- ester, he said, "He may have the hat, but he shall have no head to wear it with, and the bishop was brought to the block. On one occasion the turbu- lent Earl of Kildare was brought before the king, charged with setting fire to the cathedral of Cashel. "I own it, |" said the earl, "but never would have done it had not believed the archbish- op was in it." Henry laughed and par doned the culprit. His bitterest enemy was the bishop of Meath, who accused him to Henry of divers misdeeds and closed his arraignment with, Thus, my liege, you see that all Ireland cannot govern the earl. ''
 Then" said the perverse monarch, ''the earl shall rule all Ireland," and instantly made him lord deputy because his good humor equaled his valor
 Elizabeth resembled her father in her willingness to put up with retorts from sauoy subjects and to pay them back in kind, not always with the greatest re- fnement The little scene with the ill fated Earl of Essex, when she boxed his ears for insolence and he laid his hand on his sword, saying that he would not take such treatment even from her fa- ther, is familiar to every one.
 Going back to still earlier dates, we constantly find the imperious Plantag- enet kings giving and receiving retorts that bear witness of great independence among some of their powerful subjects

SMASHINGTRADITION
WILD ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY ARE NOT
 DANGEROUS.

James A. Bailey Says Any One Can Safely
 Enter and Leave B Cage Full of Lions and
 Tigers, and Any Man Who Knows the
 Cues Can Put Them Through Their Acts
 Said MT. James A. Bailey recently: "It is the general belief all over the world that man who goes into den of wild carnivorous beasts takes his life in his hands, and that each time he does so and escapes unharmed he has won by lucky chance. Some persons believe that if the trainer who handles the animals in their acts were to turn his back upon them for a single instant they would leap upon and devour him. Others again believe that the lions and tigers only wait an opportunity for concerted action to destroy their keep CT, while there are still others who de- clare that it is only through the power of the human eye that the beasts are held in subjection. To all of these opinions and beliefs and as a final an swer to all questions on the subject l wish to state here and now that there is no danger whatever to any person en- tering cage of wild beasts. Such statement, however, will scarce be be- lieved without some further explana- tion and proof.
 ''It is a fact that many men have been maimed and some killed by lions and tigers in menageries and geological gardens throughout the world, but in every case, venture to say, the causes leading to such accidents and deaths were of their own making. Unmerited or too severe punishment is the most frequent cause. Nearly all animals, no matter how small and insignificant, will turn and fight when cornered and in fear of their lives. A cat will make desperate and determined fight if so placed that it cannot escape from what it believes is a dangerous enemy. Just so with larger cat animals. And nearly all of the accidents that have occurred have been brought about by the brutal ity of trainers who, having lost temper, have pursued to extremes an animal that did not understand what was want ed of it. Trainers of the present day, however, have come to realize this, and accidents are of rare occurrence. And 1 maintain that any man or woman, an entire stranger to the animals, can go in with them and in perfect safety.
 "A case in point comes to my mind. A few years ago employed an innocent sort of German to work in the menag- erie, and one of the first tasks assigned to him was cleaning the lions den. h. stead of taking an iron scraper and working through the bars as custom ary, he took broom. opened the iron door, went in the cage and began to sweep the floor. When lion got in his way. be would nnnch it with the broom

of rare old trees, passing through the ancient gateway, fit subject for poets theme, into the open road, where we are greeted by procession of oaks as sym motrical as those we left behind. Miles of moss fringed trees, their somber cur tains swaying far above, and again dropping so as almost to touch the earth about their feet, continue even to the cleared strip of land immediately in front of the bridge. Opposite lies the city, her cluster turrets and slender spires outlined against the evening sky.
 Asked how we like the oaks, we say that they are "beautiful," but all the while we are conscious that they have a charm of their own not to be interpreted in words. New York Post.

 "Can you tell me whether apples will keep better in dry atmosphere than in damp one, or vice versa ?"

 "All things are relative in this world. Whether you could keep the apples bet ter in dry air or a damp air would de- pend very much on the number of small boys there were in the house."
