OAGING WILD BEASTS.

How the Animals Are Handled at jam

A writer in Little Folks, who paid 6
visit to Jamrach's wild-beast establish.
ment, in London, has this to say:
Now, there are at the moment I am
writing two beautiful Bengal tiger cubs in
one of the cages. The cubs are old enough
to be dangerous, so if 1 tell you the way
saw them put into the cage they now in
habit you will know a little of how wild
animals are transferred from one place of
confinement to another.
The boxes that tigers and lions come in
are not very big-iust big enough to allow
the inmates to lie comfortably. This, be-
sides saving freight, prevents the animal
from using his full strength, and perhaps,
In case OF fright or frenzy, from bursting
the box.
Well, the box with the tiger cubs was
placed in front of, and partly in, the open
cage. A sliding door in the box was then
lifted, and the cubs darted forward at the
meat that was lying in the far corner of
the cage to tempt them. Meanwhile the
box was quickly withdrawn, and the
barred gate of the cage as quickly shut.
1t is easy, however, to transfer an animal
from confined box to large cage. He
is going then from captivity to compare
tive liberty. 1t is not SO easy-indeed it is
extremely dlfhcult - to get him to go
through the reverse process, to walk from
large cage into box. If there be time,
he can always be made to do it quietly
enough.
Give him no food in the large cage, but
put it iQ the box. He may even hold out
for days; hunger, however, will prove in
the end stronger than his fears, and he
will, with growl, make dash for the
joints, when the trap will be closed against
him.
1t isn't always possible to wait for
hunger to make him submit. Perhaps the
animal is wanted tomorrow, and the
dealer has got the order only to-day and
must catch the train with him at O'clock
in the afternoon. What is to be done now =?
Here mans superior intelligence shows
itself. 1t is fear that prevents the animal
from entering the box, and this fear must
be overcome by greater fear This is an
easy matter to the animal dealer with his
knowledge of animals.
He simply sets light to little bundle of
dry straw in the cage; this is enough-the
animals fear of fire makes him fly at any
outlet of escape.

REFORM VERSUS ORTHODOXY
RABBI VOORSANGER EULOGIZES
THE MOVEMENT IN
JUDAISM.
" CABALIsTs" BY DIR. NIETo-RABB1
LEVY ON KNOWLEDGE Is
POWER"

DR.. Voorsanger preached the last of his
series OF lectures on 1.-THE Jew as a Citizen
of the World last evening.
In the course of his remarks he said that
the nineteenth century brought more
changes to the Jew than to the Christian.
Civilization for the Christian began with
the reformation; for the Jew it commenced
with the French revolution, and it was a
matter of very slow growth with him. The
Ghetto life treated of in the last lecture
had no intellectual environments as we
understand them. The Ghetto pressed
upon the Jews life and upon his surround
rngs.
"The nineteenth century," continued
the rabbi, sis century of emancipation
1t is the expression of the better knowledge,
and the awakened sense of Christian ma
tons; it is at once the contamination of
eighteen centuries of struggling, of con-
Fiction, of contention"
Dr. Voorsanger then traced the rise of
the reform movement among the Hebrews,
saying that reform Judaism was the only
one which satisfied the requirements OF
science and religion.
Tomorrow morning a special sermon
will be delivered by Rabbi Voorsanger,
relative to the work of the Elnanu-E Ell sister
hood, and next Friday evening 1.-THE
New Woman; What She Is, and Where
She Is, will come in for treatment.
AT the Sheriff. Israel Synagogue DR..
Jacob Nieto delivered an interesting lecture
last evening on ''The Cabalists" The
reverend gentleman traced the origin of
this peculiar faction of the Hebrew nation,
which he considered to have been due to
the contest between the Talmudists and
the Rationalists. They deemed them
selves inspired, and imagined that in every
verse or even letter of the law there ex-
listed hidden meaning.

several selections of music in an admirable
manner; among others Blessing, Glory

performed a literary feat unparal-

In these three years, from 1927 to
1880, he wrote and published ahoat
80 different volumes, making more
than ten a year. Besides this he was
editing an edition of his novels, to
which he added copious notes, and
such was the demand for these works

The Story Of the Young Painter.
A certain rich man was very fond
of exhibiting his pictures in an os-
tentatious and patronizing manner
to artists of his acquaintance. One
day a young painter lunched with
him and was escorted round his gal
lery, and the youth, wishing to cur
ry favor with a possible patron, ex-
claimed after every picture, And
a very fine specimen of that mas
teri" The picture owner, however,
though he was rich, had a sense OF
humor, and noticing his audience
sitting a yawn he said, Now, here
is a remarkably fine Sa%lvolatile. "

master!" exclaimed the artist enthu-
siastically. London Gentlewoman.

1hat Empty Barrel.

five barrels, one of which we noticed was

nothing but excelsior and soft paper we

From the Scotchman we do not ex-
