Fun AMONG THE HYENAs.
There is Occasional Sport where the
Youthful Whelps Are Kept.

Since the little hyena up at Central
park has grown to be agile and sure
of its UNDERMINING. the mother hyena
has developed a playfulness that no
one would expect of that Sombre and
unlovely beast. In the morning. be-
fore there is a crowd in the lion-house.
mother and babe play together for the
better part of an hour. The game is
catch, with intervals of wrestling and
a variety of episodes not provided for
in the rules of catch-as-catch-can.
Fun begins with a sudden assault OF
the cub on the hind legs of the mother.
The latter turns to punish the babe.
and finds the youngster in the oppo-
site corner of the cage Then the moth
er PUSHES with head down at the cub,
and the cub lodges so as TO put the
pole in the middle of the cage between
himself and his mother. For a time
the fun revolves about the pole, until
perhaps the mother seizes the cub by
a leg or an ear. Then ensues scuffle,
and perhaps Fhe youngster breaks loose
and slips away between the mothers
long fore legs. The mother, occasion
ally, however, gets a strong nip on
the cubs fiabby jaw and holds him
thus till he whimpers. Sometimes.
when he is particularly stolid, she drags
him about the cage, the little spotted
carcass motionless. as If dead
The slightest squawk from the cub
makes the mother loose her hold, but
the cub himself has no such mercy for
the mother when he has taken a firm
hold on an ear or hind leg. There is
no doubling the affection of the mother
or the playful temper of the cub. There
is a mischievous challenge in his eye
when he sees his mother making ready
for the attack and q h11rnO fri
umph in his ugly little face when he
has escaped her by some especially
clever dodge or doubling.-New York

BIG SALARIES OF SINGERS
One Reason Why the Public Has t,
Pay So Much For an EVENING"
Entertainment.


Now that seven operatic organiza
tions are likely tc be in the field nex
season, combination of managers il
urged with the object of reducing ex.
travagant- rates of pay to something
like reasonable figures. No such sala>
rfes are paid at Covent garden, in Lon.
don, which. outside of the principal
Russian opera houses. probably pay.
more to it's performers than any otheI
European operatic theatre But ever
there the pay is small compared to tbs
price demanded by singers when they
come to this country, and NOT a few Of
them sing. there for nothing or a merely
nominal rate. for the purpose of ac-
curing a reputation which will en-
able them to ask a high price in this
country. Sir Augustus Harris offered
Nine. Nordica $500 a night to sing with
him last season, and as she was not in
need of a London Endorsement the pro-
position was refused. Only the i'm
portant artists receive liberal salaries,
and the effect of the difference is plain
ly noticeable in the lists of the artists
employed here at the Metropolitan and
engaged for the London season.

w in She case Of the German singers,
and striking instance of this matter
, occurred in the case of Wilhelm Gruen-
ing, the tenor, who sang with Walter
Damrosch's season. He took back with
him $4,000 as the reward of his sea
son, and of this sum one-half was paid
to Pallini, of Hamburg, of whose COM
pany the German tenor was a regular
member. As it was, the singers reward
undoubtedly exceeded anything he has
ever received in his own country, and
as he was the best singer available his
manager was compelled to accept Pol
linPs terms. Klafsky had the same
difficulty when he came to this country.
but rather than send half her earnings
! back TO Pollini she broke her contract
with him, and probably the union Of
the German anagers-ealled the Cas-
tel verein-will prevent her from sing
ing in Germany.-New York Sun.
