their dignity and they respond TO en-
treaties and threats with snarls and
growls, showing their ugly white fangs
and red gums. They do not deign to
notice the masked woman except when
she approaches them, and then they
assert their royal right to be let alone.
Countess Pallavieni, for that is
the lady's name, has not had an easy
task in training her lions. She appears
on the stage with bare arms and low
corsage, and the somewhat generous
display she makes Ct her charms shows
numerous scars and scratches which
she has received from her pets. Her
arms and breast are covered with these
mute evidences of the fact that the
lions are genuinely wild and that they
are not thoroughly cowed.
While in the cage the countess makes
no display of weapons. She sometimes
has a wooden shield which she raps
against the floor of the cage to startle
the beasts, and occasionally she -four
ishes whip. Then she frequently car
ries a short, polished steel bar in her
hands. She never uses these weapons
on the lions, but apparently trusts to
her pleading voice to secure obedience,
The lionesses seem to yield to the gentle
tones, and when their noses are tickled
with the thong at the end of the whip
they respond to her urging.
The countess comes of high family,
and it is said that she performs with
the lions from pure caprice. Parisians
are wondering how soon the animals
will eat her, and be prepared to give
the same excuse when brought to task
for it.

COUNTESS TRAINS LIONS.

The desire for novel sensations has
led countess in Paris to engage in
the training of lions. After a few
months spent in contending with the
fierce beasts she has begun giving pub
lie performances. In order to prevent
recognition she wears a mask when
giving exhibitions and for a time the
town was wild as TO her identity.
The cage of lions contains some par
ticularly vicious beasts and the hand
some trainer does not seem to have
them under the best of control. The
lionesses do their parts with bad grace,
but when sufficiently urged they will
mount pedestals and jump through
hoops and over bars. The lions seem
to feel that such trifing is beneath

Wv transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many formsof
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists. :,
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
nay be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but Il in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-intormed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely

AN INDIGNANT FISH.

Ono Burgall Deprived OF Its Prey by tho
Reckless Interference OF Another.
While the burgall, known also rs the
Gunner, is not altogether a bottom feed
Ing fish, still it feeds mostly on the bot
tom, taking whatever it can find there,
nipping the head off q clam when it
gets chance. and not neglecting the
worms Of many kinds which find O
home there.
There were two burgalls in tank ct
the aquarium. One day a nereis showed
its head above the sand and gravel on
the bottom of the tank alongside little
pebble. The nereis is o marine worm
that lives at the bottom. This particu-
lar nereis might have been three inches
in length by an eighth Of an inch In di-
ameter. One Of the burgalls saw it Us

food. Gradually it raised its head until
it was half an inch above the sand. The
burgall, which had started foot or
more away, was then within six inches
Of it. Then the other burgall saw the
nereis, and this burgall made q rush for
it. There was nothing for the first one
to do now but to make rush for it too.
The two buTgalls met head ON with
their noses right over the pebble along
side which the nereis had raised its
head, but the nereis had disappeared
The force Of the collision threw the
first burgall of his balance. For mo-

The sabbath school Conven.
l1O1.

The County Sabbath School Con
vention held in the Methodist church
last week, was well attended. The
Sabbath School Is q valuable adjunct
of the Church. 1t holds the young
people to church mooriDg; gets them
into line once every weak, and the
day on which that is done is on
preaching day. Bat in a measure it
has taken away the autocracy Of tie
preacher. Before the institution of
the Sabbath School the preachers
rule was almost supreme He
taught the children the creed He
was the class master for chatecheti-
cal instruction, and his word was law.
OLD things have passed away and all
things are new. Now the average
Sabbath School can question, rebel
and kick as suddenly and unexp Ct
edly as the average church choir, and
if the preacher don't like it he can
take the less of it. The Christian
Eudeayor is q newer church adjunct
than the Sabbath School. Between
the Sabbath School and the Christ
ian Endsavor, the mind of the young
people who attend them is almost
wholly taken up OH the Sabbath,
which of itself is q commendable
thing to do for the Young people.
The earnest advocates of the Sab
bath School and Christian Eudeavor
movements are emphatic in tneii ex-
preston of belief, that the new
methods thus employed for the up
building Of the church, are as super
ior over tie cid methods, as are the
new methods Of travel by steam and
electricity, superior to the original
method of travel afoot.

Dcuinrahln izaorance.

General John Mcneil, who was a
brother in-law of President Pierce and
major general Of the New Hampshire
militia at orc time, is said to have been
considerably inoeused when he met any
one who appeared to be ignorant Of the
wounds ard honors he had won on the
field>of battle.
During the war with Great Britain he
was shot while mounted on his faithful
horse, receiving q severe wound in the
knee, which caused him to walk stifily
for the rest of his life.
"How did you hurt your knee, gen.
eral?" asked young man whom the old
officer characterized as ''whipper
snapper" one day from certain lack Of
respectfulncss in his air and manner.
"Did you have fall:'
Yes, sir,' snorted the general indig-
nantly. Il fell off a horse! You never
read the history Of your country, did
you, sir?'-Youth's Companion.
