Instances Where the King of the For.
est Was Made to Draw Chariot.
The tanning of lions has been prac-
ticed for centuries, says a London pa
per. Hanno, a Carthaginian. is said
to have been the first lion-tamer. and
he had Hon which followed him about
like dog. His skin was not appre.
ciated, however, for he was banished
by the republic because it was deemed
that a man who could subdue so much
ferocity must needs he dangerous &c
the state. Ptolemy philadclphus, KIM
OF Egypt, 3. c. 2Sj. had twelve chariots
drawn by lions. Mark Antony rode
about Rome in chariot ORA wn by
pair of lions. Domitian had lion that
accompanied him out hunting. Ber
nice, Queen OF Egypt. had a tame lion,
which sat at the table with her and
licked her cheeks. These stories must
Of course, be taken for what they are
worth, but at least they show that lion
tanning was not unknown in those by.
gone days. In our own country the art
has been practiced with considerable
success. Early in this century. Du

moned to Windsor Castle to exhibit his
animals. The keeper used to lie down
in his cage with the lion on one side of
him and the tigress on the other, while
the cubs played and gamboled ut his
feet.
One Of the most celebrated lion
tanners Of the century was Van Am
burg, Dutchman, who came to this
country just before the Queen began
her reign. He has been immortalized
by Sir Edwin Landseer, who painted
picture of him in the midst of his lions.
Van Amburg once told the Duke of
Wellington, who had asked him if he
was never afraid of his lions. that he
had never felt any fear of them. but if
he ever suspected that they had ceased
to fear him he would at once give up
the business. Besides fearlessness. the
trainer requires infinite patience. He
usually begins by feeding the beasts
from outside the bars, and then, at
length, ventures into the cage. Lions,
it is said, like to be stroked, and may
be tickled into submission.

BRUINS MEAT.

if the Bear Was Tame.
Wild bear meat is exceedingly rare
nowadays. says Texas butcher. Once
bear whose owner finds him to be more
trouble and expense to keep than he
cares to incur, and sells him to the
butcher. These pet bears are always
fat and tender, but they haven't that
fine. gamey flavor so highly priced in
the wild black bear. In fact the taste
of tame bear meat is very similar to
that Of an old fat hog. 1t takes con-
noisseur to detect the difference.
once knew butcher who bought pet
bear ard put the meat on sale for
Christmas. The carcass was exhibited
in the skin to show that it was a genu-
inc bruin, and it sold like hot cakes for
SO cents a pound. 1t went so fast that
it was all gone before the butcher knew
1t, and he had numerous calls for more.
A bright idea struck him, and he gave
It out that he would have another bear
on sale the next day. He bought up
three or four big. fat, aged hogs. When
one was killed he was skinned the head
and hoofs removed, and the carcass
wrapped up in bruins hide. Like the
genuine article. it went off rapidly at
so cents pound. This game was kept
up until all the bearhungry people OF
the town were satisfied and none were
any the wiser. They smacked their
lips over fat old swine, which, having
outlived their usefulness in another
capacity. were fattened, butchered and
sold as ''tine. fat bear"

THE WORLD OF SWEETS,

The sugar cane was introduced into
America soon after the discovery, and
its cultivation rapidly spread over all
those parts Of the New World adapted
to its growth.
Medical authorities declare that the
glucose employed in the manufacture
Of cheap candies Is unhealthful. as a
large consumption of 1t tends to pro-
duce diabetes.
The Introduction of fancy boxes for
candies was due to the demand on the
part of customers for holiday, birthday
and festival presents, in neat and at
tractive packages.
Candy makers calculate that the
price of their products should be put
ut double the cost of the material,
which will allow them fair return for
rent, labor and interest.
Glucose may be manufactured by
the acids being afterwards removed
by the action Of powdered chalk or
some other form Of lime.
The fall in the price of sugar, ca 1sed
by improved processes Of manufacture,
and the enormous increase in the
amount Of beet sugar are, no doubt, re-
spOnsible for this increase.
The brandy, or liqueur drops, are
manufactured by mixing the liquor to
be used with the syrup. When the
drop dries the outside hardens and the
brandy IS retained in the interior.
The female matinee fiend Of Phila-
delphia still favors the ground nut
candy that her mother chewed over
thirty years ago. that form having re-
manned fashionable for half a century.
The candy-makers say that the most
profitable part Of their trade is in fan
cy candies, put up in ornamental box
es, the box frequently cutting more
figure in the purchase than the goods.
