BLooD-cuRDL1NG SPECTACLE.

A horrible tragedy took place recent
ly in a menagerie situated on the
Cours du Midi at Lyons. A young clerk
named Leon Eissert employed at the
Perrache railway station, had the en-
tree to the managerie as he knew the
proprietor and was on friendly terms
with the staff of the show.
Unwisely he made up his mind to be
photographed in the central lions cage,
and about o'clock in the morning he
went to the menagerie without the
knowledge of the proprietor in order to
carry out his intention.
He entered the cage, which was, of
course, empty, and while the photo
grapher was getting ready his camera
he approached the neighboring cage,
in which an enormous lion named
Romulus lay sleeping.
He did all ne could to excite the ami
NAL through the bars and, while press
ing against the partition inadvertently
opened the trap door which separated
the two cages.
The lion bounded through the OPEN
ing and springing upon the unfortunate
clerk, seized his head in his mouth,
crushing it terribly. The young fellow
must have been killed almost instan-
taneously.
The lion then dragged the body to
corner of the cage, where it crouched
upon the corpse. One of the boys en-
ployed in the menagerfe, awakened by
the cries of the photographer, tried to
make the lion release its victim, but he
only succeeded in infuriating the ami
NAL still further.
The tanner was at once fetched and,
after great difficulty. he managed to
make the lion return to its own cage
1t was found that the clerks head had
been completely crushed and the body

the Christian inquirer Of sixteen or
seventeen hundred years ago whether
the mortal lineaments of Jesus were
beautiful or ill-favored, it is supremely
unlikely that lit should have preserved
any other particulars. In point Of fact
the apocryphal gospels do not repre-
sent tradition at all. They are for
the most part poor, valuelesS, ill-guid-
ed. and to a great extent heretical fig
ments.
Happily their authors. some Of whom
wrote as late as the seventh and
eighth centuries, had not the audacity
to pretend that they could reproduce
any of Christ's essential teaching
They occupied themselves exclusively
with the invention of imaginary de-
tails about His infancy, or about His
cross, His passion and His visit to
the unseen world.
1t may then be asked. What can we
possibly gain from reading these je-
june and often even Objectionable fic-
tionS?"
Value of the ApocryphaI Accounts.
Several answers may be given apart
from the fact that it is always inter-
esting to watch the tendency of human
speculationS about sacred things. First
of all they furnish a melancholy proof
of the sort of way in which many
Chritians had begun, as time went on,
to form most distorted and erroneous
opinions about the person and charac-
ter of Christ Secondly they furnish
us with striking gauge of the unap-
proachable and immeaSureable superb
GRITTY of the Canonical gospels. Third
ly, they show us that such was the
unique divinity Of Christ that he stood
infinitely above all the capabilities of

The mems meeting of the Young Mems
Christian Association on next Sunday
afternoon will be held in the gymnasium,
the parlors being too small to accommo-
date the large gathering of young men
that is expected. Mr.. Chadbourne, who
sang for the association couple of weeks
ago, has promised to sing again at this
meeting.
Noticeable improvements have been
made IN the parlor during the past week,
The walls have been neatly papered and
the ceiling frescoed by mem bers of the
association. The paint and paper-in
TACT, all the materials for the work-were
furnished by the Ladies' Auxiliary,
which demonstrates conclusiveIy that It's
members have nobler purposes than
simply TO agltate for woman suffrage and
wear high hats at the theater. The
papering of the walls was done under
the direction of Harry Rible, who gener-
ously offered his services free of charge
Being the lowest bidder, he secured the
contract. The furniture at the rooms is
being renovated and vanished by Frank
