There is seemingly no end 10 the
practical uses Of electricity. Perzon,
the celebrated lion tanner of France,
owed his success in his dangerous call
ing to the use OF this great invisible
force. When he had a wild Hon or tiger
to tame he would have series of live
wires placed between him and the
beast. He would turn his back upon
the animal. which, seizlng the opportu-
nifty, would spring towards him. Strik-
ing the wires in Its spring it would re-
ceive a powerful and paralyzing shock,
and the terror OF the moment would re-
main with 1t forever. Here is a valu-
able suggestion to the henpecked hus-
band.

One of the gentlemen said: "You can
say that we ave going to take all sub
scriptions from twenty-five cents up,
and we will be thankful for all that
is given, no matter what the amount
is. And another thing is that we
won't set the minimum amount at 500,
for there may be few who do not feel
like giving that much"
