TOLD BY THE CIRCUS MAN.


'ho circumstance Attending tho
Loss of n Large Anaconda,
I'VE lost a big anaconda once" said
the old circus man, sin the most sin
gular manner o ever heard OF: YOU
couldn't guess how If you should guess
:or forty years.
This was at the time when we had
the great eighteen-foot giraffe that
I've told o about, and, by a very
singular coincidence, this anaconda
was just the same length Just
eighteen feet long. 1t got out Of its
cage one day, how, nobody ever knew,
and strolled over to where the giraffe
was lying, outside the big tent, asleep
on the ground. What under the cano-
py could have possessed the anaconda
to collar the giraffe 1 don't know, I'M
less it was because it was the first liy-
Ing thing it came across; but it began
:oliing itself around the CRATES head;
It had taken about two turns, I guess,
when the giraffe woke up.
frightened? Well, now! The show
was going on-just started for the aft
srnoon performance. The clown was
walking around the ring cracking his
whip when in rushed the giraffe, sway
ns his long neck and cracking his
whip, the lash made of fifteen feet of
anaconda, which the giraffe slashed
sround in the air and Slated up
against the canvas roof and slammed
down on the ground, jumping around
itself mad. I'd been in the show bust
CESS some time, but I'd never seen any,
ching like that.
The people didn't know what to
make of it first; they kind O. thought
It was part of the show. though they
acted as though they thought it was a
pretty skeery part; but in about five
seconds they realized what it was, and
hen they thought they'd had their
moneys worth, and chey wanted to go;
and they did go, dropping down from
he Jack of the seats, and down
through the seats, and getting out
my way they could; and leaving the
big giraffe there 'rastling with the an
aconda and thrashing it around and
stating 1t down, and making every eff
;ort to shake it off, but without any
effect.
"Then's where the old man come in.
as he always did in any real emergen-
~. He was walking around the ring.
1ow back of the giraffe and alongside
IT him, and keeping as close to him as
ac could and waiting for a chance.
Presently the giraffe, sloshing the
great snake around in the air in all
directions, doubled it around the CEN
.er pole. 1t just happened so, but that
vas the old mans chance. When the
inaconda's tail swung around he seiz-
ID it, and fourteen other men tailed
IN in less h a that number of sec
,nds. A canvasman came out with an
IKE.
Chop! says the old man, and one
blow on the bend OF the big serpent
where he went around the center pole
vas enough. AND that's the way we
ost the big anaconda; but as compar-
ID with g%iraffes anacondas were cheap:
Ind we were glad to get out of it as
we'll as we did"

Dentistry mt Sen.

When a sailor on a deep-water ship
las a toothache he is likely to go to
he Captain. The Captain gives him
something out of the medicine chest
o put in his tooth, and if that does
cot cure it perhaps he pulls it. It is
l thing for sailors to pull
heir own teeth. Their method Is to
put a string around a tooth and pull 1t;
out dental forceps are carried on deep
natter ships, on some vessels a fair out
1T of them. A ship Captain OF long
experience said that in the course Of
ais life at sea he had pulled 200
:eeth.
The ships medicine chest on large
Fessels is like a closet or cupboard
With a glass door, built in the ship. In
his chest the medicine bottles, gilt-la-
oelled, are arranged on shelves that
Use one above another In receding
'iers; it is practically a well-appointed
little drug store. There is supplied
With the medicine chest a book ex-
planning the uses Of the medicines.
The Captain is likely to have some
other hook on medical subjects which
ae has read and studied. and he is
likely to have had a good deal of ex-
%oer!ence before attaining the rank of
master of a ship.
The sailors are generally healthy
men, but when occasion requires. the
Captain prescribes; he Is the physi-
clan. Limbs broken at sea are OF
course set there, and there might be
circumstances In which the Captain
would not hesitate to perform a sur
gical operation.

THE HOUSEWIFE.
Care of BABY No. I.

With the best intentions in the
world. most young mothers are quite
as ignorant as baby No. l itself re
garding the care required to keep its
small person in order. To such, a
word from an experienced nurse may
settle doubts and make
doubly sure"
As soon as the teeth come, clean daily
with a soft rag or soft tooth brush,
and inspect carefully once a week for
evidence of decay or spots. If the lat
ter appear, rub with a little pumice
stone. Cut a match like a chisel, dip
in pumice and rub he teeth. In cut
ting the tiny nails, do not round them
too much at the corners. especially the
toe nails, as 1t is apt to give rise to
iHgroWlnS nails. In regard to the
hair, a brush and coarse comb are all
that should be used, as the fine comb Is
a relic OF barbarism. II the skin on
the head is inclined to become "scur-
fy,' rub with vaseiine to soften, then
wash off with warm water and CASTLE
soap, taking care nc to press heavily
on the fontanelles or soft spot. If the
hair tends to fall out, use bay rum and
quinine in proportion of twenty grains
of the latter to a half pint OF bay
rum.
An ante-wedding cake is the latest
thing. When the friends of the pros
pcctive bride are cheering her path to
the matrimonial goal with merry-mak-
ing and she is returning the enter
talnment in kind, the ante-wedding
cake is baked.
1t contains, in addition to the usu-
al ingredients. pennies, thimbles, rings
and all sorts Of tokens full Of mystic
meaning. To receive a slice contain
ing a penny foretells riches; one with
a ring, approaching marriage; one with
a thimhle, old ~maidenhood. This an
te-wedding cake has become a great
fad in the West.
The silence cloth Of the fashionable
dinner table takes on several guises, a
new sort being knitted of cotton.
This both washes and e. well. The
doub!e-faccd canton flannel holds
stains with most untidy effect, though
1t may be fresh from me laundry.
Mats OF asbestos can be had large
enough to cover a table, and the pro-
lection of these Is absolute, making
their choice frequent to owners OF
handsome tables.
A new sweeping cap has a deep cape
attached which buttons under the chin
