TIGERS SPONGE BATH.

\ Cosssck, ignorant OF the French
language, and equally ignorant Of fear,
was recently hired at Moscow by the
lion tanner Pezon TO clean the cages
Of his wild beasts. Their understanding
or misunderstanding, was arranged By
means Of gestures and dumb show, and
Pezon thought that the man thoroughly
understood what he had to do.
The next morning the Tartar began
his new duties by entering with bucket,
sponge and broom, not the cage Of q
tame beast, as his master had done, but
OF splendid, untamed tiger, which lay
asleep on the floor. The fierce animal
awoke and fixed his eyes upon the man,
who calmly proceeded to wet his large
sponge, and, unterrified, to rub down
the tiger as IL he had been horse or a
dog; while the tiger, apparently delight
ed by the application Of cold water,
rolled over on Its back, stretched out its
paws, aud, purring, offered every part
of its body TO the Cossack, who washed
1t as complacently as mother bathes
her infant. Then he left the cage, and
would have repeated the haz lrdous ex-
pertinent upon another savage beast
from the desert had not Pezon drawn
him off with difficulty,

Lying a. Q Disease.

"The liar is much abused person, "
said a well known local physician to a
reporter last week 1.-THE liar is not al
ways to blame, and if you have any
friends who are addicted to false repre-
sentation Of things advise them to con-
suit their doctors. There is hope for at
least one class of liars Medicine and
medical methods are applicable to those
who suddenly develop an adherence for
the truth and lie ON all occasions, even
though the truth might better suit their
purpose. This has come to be thought
of only as a species Of dementia that is
ofttimes successfully treated.
1.-The malicious liar is difficult prob.
lem, for he knows that he is telling a
lie and there is no hope for him. But
there are lots of people who just lie
naturally, without knowing what they
are saying or why they say it. The in
dividual often has nothing whatever to
accomplish by lying, but does so just as
some people stutter. But, as l said be
fore, he should not be blamed and frown-
cd upon. His mind is unhealthy and his
nervous system is out of order Rest,
tonic and good nursing often restore
these people to their normal self, and
then the love of rectitude returns, and
they are effectually cured Of very en-
barrassing habit Washington Post.

Verdi 10 I.lv. In Milan.

Verdi has decided to leave his estate,
SAINT Agata. at Busseto, Italy, to take
up his residence in Milan. He will live
at hotel where be has been accustomed
to stay for the last 30 years whenever
business called him to the old Lombard
city. There are many bonds that con
meet him with Milan. His first wife and
bis two children rest there, many Of his
works were performed there first, and
In that city he has founded q fine home
for superannuated singers. which has
Just been opened. Verdi some time ago
asked permission to have his second
wife buried In . little graveyard ri
SAINT Agata. and 10 was granted. bot
the master has changed his mind and he
wishes now to bury her In the chapel Of
the new home and to rest there himssh
when he u dead.

The BICYCLE DID IT.

VIXEN MARRIAGE IS A FAILURE


Marriage IL a failure II neither husband
nor wife has married for love, but mere
ly for money, or any other mundane
motive.
II the meals are ill-cooked and badly
served.
II two young people rush into ma,ri-
mony and take upon themselves all the
burdens OF married life when too young
10 realize the awful responsibility OF L..
IL the income. though well managed
and made the most OF, canno, cover the
expenditure.
IL the husband be faddy, fldgeiy
man, perpetually prying into household
matters, and thinks he knows more about
them than anybody else.
IL both parties are absolutely resolved
to see only the worst side Of each others
characters.
IL the husband tries TO be mistress as
well as master, or the wife master as
mistress OF the house.
IL, when dark days come, husband
and wife forget that they took each other
for better, for worse, for richer, for
poorer.
IL the wife Is a fine lady totally igno-
rant OF even the rudiments Of domestic
economy, and thinks more OF her dress
than her husbands comfort.-McCalrs
Magazine.

TO CULTIVATE GOOD TEETH.

II Is necessary to impress upon
mothers the great need for not only TAX
ing care Of their childrcn's teeth, but Of
teaching their little ones the use OF .
tooth brush from the time their perma-
nent teeth develop, which Is about six
years old.
Parents should, indeed, watch the tenn
porary teeth very carefully, especially
with delicate children. who mere often
than not have unsound teeth, but whose
permanent teeth may, II well cared for,
be yet perfectly shaped, strong and Wig
orous.
Look after the second molar teeth, too,
as they come first behind the temporary
teeth, and see that the latter are not ex-
trscted unnecessarily early.
IL mothers would spend little money
In paying six-monthly visits TO good
dentist with their children, much pain,
III health, and toothache would be saved
In after life.
He will quickly discover the first sign
OF decay, and be able to arrest further
decay by little filling.

Aaour chlLpREN,s EEEI.

Il seems almost absurd TO advise
mothers not to pinch babies feet, and
yet physicians say that much Of the fret
fulness and Irritation Of babyho0d ID
due to tight shoes and stockings.
Not tight, perhaps, from . grown-up
standpoint, bat sufficiently snug to hurt
the tender, soft flesh Of baby feet. The
shoes that are gotten for the very little
baby are often actual instruments OF
torture because Of some slight roughness
or pressure.
II the shoe fit snugly, no matter how
soft Il Is, the sole is sure to press Into
the sensitive ncsh and irritate the TEN.
per, IL not actually injure the nerves.
Baby flesh is SO soft that mothers and
nurses often do not notice how badly
the little foot Is being crowded until im-
peded circulation tells the story Of SUI
feSing.
And small stockings are as frequently
q means Of injury as are small shoes.
Always buy both shoes and stockings at
least one size larger than the so-called
''easy IT." This rule should hold good
until the foot has ceased to grow.
The result would be q generation OF
healthier, better. tempered and more
graceful men and women.-Demorests

A WoMAN'S TEMPER AS SHOWN IN
HER WALK.

You have seen the woman who jerks
her head as she walks, suppose? The
habit Is not uncommon, and on close
acquaintance you will find that a woma q
so afflicted Is given to flckleness. She
tribes little too much with love, and Is
Just the woman to miss good husband
and be sorry afterwards.
The quiet man will never be happy
with the woman who digs her heels into
the pavement, and scurries along as II
she were running race. She Is business
like, and most likely the woman TO sue
coed in trade affairs; but her manner Is
one Of those simple things that worries
the quiet man TO death.
The girl who cannot walk without
skipping Is n very cheerful girl, and en-
Joys life with much the same gusto rs
the girl with an elastic step, who tips
on to her toes at every stride. But per-
haps the girl We like most Is the girl
with the brisk, musical walk, who loves
to peep for moment into shop windows
aud then walk hriskly on, and who goes
through life with the fixed resolve OF
getting the most pleasure cut OF every
thing -McCall's Magazine.
