Art DRAINING ANIMALS

Principles That Are Applied to the In
stincts of the Various subj 4cts in Hand.
Animal training is an art based on
definite rules, which vary but little in
their application to the instic,s of the
different pupils, and the demands made
upon the teacher are sometimes even
more exacting than those whereby the
college professor leads his charges. The
teacher is not a creator of systems to
start from, but the philosophy is purely
experimental, and after observing the
regularity with which the animals fol-
low the same habits, he bases his method
of training them on these lines. What
ever the animal he wishes to train, the
teacher begins by watching it closely,
endeavoring to discover not only the use
full habits of the race, but the personal
disposition of the individual in question.
One specimen raises itself naturally up
on its hind legs, another is born with the
talent of Jumping And so on does the
application apply to each case. Observe
the application of these principles by the
trainers with the Great Wallace Shows.

this case the cure was effected so thor

duty that other sufferers should know

lignant attacks of rheumatism. None OF
the many remedies I used did me any
good until 1 began using Munyon's

IT would be interesting to know what
Mr.. Cleveland proposes to do when the
truce which he bought from the gold
syndicate expires. The compact which
they have kept in good faith SO far ex-
pires October 1. There can be but little
doubt that the treasury raids will begin
promptly after that date. 1t is noticeable
that the gold reserve is not permitted to
pass the &1OO00O,OOO mark, so that the
effect of the syndicats's operations will
be felt at once when it is ready to begin
Withdrawals. From October till Decem-
Der when congress meets will afford
ample time to forcs another bond issue.
The president may conclude to call an
extra session and throw the responsible
ity of meeting the situation on congress,
but such a course is hardly probable on
the part Of Mr. Cleveland.

WILL WHITES Emporia paper. Sos
sip is verv dull in Emporia just now.
What Emporia needs is few brides; To
peka is full of brides just now, and you
can hear most anything there. There is
nothing 50 interesting to talk about as a
bride. Up in Topeka they say that there
is a bride who married for money, whose
husband makes her do her own work !;
and they say that there is a young man
who Tilted one girl because she wouldn't
go to the Epworth league, who has just
found out that his new wife can swear
like street car driver when she is mad.
This is of course idle gossip, but it keeps
talk alive on the front porches in Topeka.

The Topeka JOURNAL is one of the
best exchanges that comes to this office.
We roast it occasionally because it is try
ing to break down Governor MorrilPs ad-
ministration and weaken the Republican
party in Kansas where it will not bear
much neutrality-suspicious. Rep ublican.
The JOURNAL is glad to know the
cause of those 'roasts" But the Jour
NAL is not trying to break down Gov.
MorrilPs administration. 1t is Gov. Nor
rill himself that is breaking down his
administration aud weakening his party
No one Injuries Gov. Morrill, SO much as
he Injuries himself If he were less the
instrument of small cliques and small
men, he might give his party cause to be
proud of him.

Our minister to Brazil writes the de-
partment at Washington that the people
of that country would prefer to buy our
goods, but the channels of trade are not
open. The British are in control of the
market and are selling them goods made
from raw material purchased in the
United States, They then purchase
Brazilian products and bring them to our
ports for sale, thus making two profits
off of the shrewd Yankee The worst
feature of this condition of affairs is that
the government of the United States has
been doing all it could to maintain and
perpetuate it.

IF every man would do his duty and
report every violation of the new fish
law, the nets would be kept out of Kan

man with hook and line would be able
to get bite. Clean out the nets and
give the fish a chance to propagate and
fill the streams.-Wichita COmmoner.
1t is no use; local public sentiment is
against the fish law in certain localities
and the law can't be enforced People

SINCE the reduction of the tariff on
fireworks the Chinese should soon save
en- ough money to pay that indemnity.
The amount which they have formerly
been called upon to pay in the way of
tariff tax on such wares must have
amounted to large sum annually. This
idea, of course, is based on the assump-
ton that the foreigner pays the revenue
duty. 1t will be difficult, however, to
make the youth of the country believe
that they haven't been paying it. Not
being Mckinleys they don't understand
these tariff matters.

BRUINS BUTTEL, June 20-At a quarter
of four this morning the Imperial yacht
Hohenzollern, with Emperor William and
the princes on board, entered the west
sea canal in order to formally open
it. The gate was magnitcently
decorated and the Hohenzol-
lern passed through amid ringing
cheers, the military associations, stu
dents, delegations and masses of the
populace. the bands playing the national
anthem and accompanying the music
were the voices of the crowds assem- bled,
who joined heartily in the chorus. His
majesty stood on the deck of his yacht
and bowed his thanks with visible emo
ton on all sides
At O'Clock the Hohenzollern severed
the threads stretched across the canal
aud commenced the passage of the new
waterway.
Being the first vessel to formally pass
through the canal she was greeted with
vociferous cheers from the mass of
spectators. The appearance of the
Hohenzollern was the signal for stimuli
taneous canonading from the vast fleet
of war ships in the bay, as they fred
salutes in honor of his majesty.
The Hohenzollern then replied with
her guns to the salutes of the foreign
warShIpa and the opening of the Baltic
and North sea canal was an accomplished
fact.
This being the fifty eighth anniversary
of the accession of Queen Victoria to the
throne of Great Britain, by special COM
mand of Emperor William, royal salute
was fred at noon from all the German
warships which at the same time hoisted
the British flag to the strains Of the
national anthem of Great Britain.
