Notes on Lions.
From The Westminster Budget

The tongue of lion is so rough that
a close look at it will almost take the
skin off the locker. 1t is not safe to
allow a lion to lick your hand, for if
he licked the skin off and got a taste
of the underlying blood, supposing it
to be there, he would want the hand
aud everything adjoining thereto
Nothing more perfect in modern ma
chinery exists than the mechanism by
which lion works his claws. He has
five toes on each of his fore-feet and
four on each of his hind-feet. Each toe
has claw, Nothing about lion is
without reason, and the reason he has
more toes and claws on his fore than
on his hind feet is that he has more
use for them. If this were not SO, the
majority would be the other way. The
lion is nocturnal by choice. He has no
particular objection to daylight, but
likes to spend it in the bosom of his
family, or at least adjacent to it. 1t
should not be supposed that because he
roams about at night he neglects his
family. He roams in order to fill the
family larder. He kills to eat, not for
amusement. He never bothers small
game SO long as there is big game with
in reach. When feeling fit, he can take
an OK in his mouth and jump fences
and bitches like professional steeple-
chaser.
