OPERATES on IIoNEss.
italian ocuiist Removes Cataract
from the Eye OF Benst with
Complete success.

Prof. Gustave Pisenti, OF the Univer-
eity OF Perugip, Italy, has lately had a
thrilling experience in extracting cat
aract from a powerful lioncss about
three years old. The animal was placed
in suitable cage in the middle Of the
menagerie, and the first difficulty was
the administration of an anaesthetic.
The intervals between the bars Of the
cage were filled with cotton wool and
large packet of gauze impregnated
with chloroform was placed la the cage,
the door of which was then closed with
q shutter. In about a quarter Of an
hour "A reconnaissance was cautiously
made, and the illustrious patient was
seen lying stretched out and apparent
~ in condition of deep coma She
was then dragged out of the cage and
bound and gagged.
She was then placed on n table, but
before the operation could be begun she
suddenly awoke and struggled violent
ly, rolling on the floor, where the med
zeal men, with admirable GOODNESS, but
not without intense emotion, which
might easily be seen in their counte-
nances," held her down while the ami
mails head was wrapped in towel
stepped in sulphuric ether.
The lioness, however, managed to
free herself from the gag and partly
from her bonds, and gave roar which
made the majority of the spectators
beat hasty retreat. But the ether
overcame her, and Prof. Psenti, with
great pluck, dragged her into the cage,
where the anesthetic coup de grace
was given by means Of another packet
Of gauze stepped in chloroform.
The BEASTS head was pulled out
through'the door of the cage and Sc
curely held in position. Prof Pisenti
then operated with brilliant success. A
curious feature of the scene was the eX-
element produced among the'other am
imals-zebras, bisons, leopurds, wolves,
hyenas, monkeys, etc.-in the menag-
erie, who all inhaled some portion.of the
anaesthetics with which the air was sat
urated.-N. Y. Journal.

ELEPHANTS FEAR HIM.
newfoundland Dog Makes the Ina
mense Creatures Behave Them
selves Day and Night.

Visitors to the Central park New
York; zoo during the past few weeks
have been surprised to see a New
foundland dog chained u one of the
elephant cages, living in apparent peace
and contentment.
Everyone expects to see the great
elephant kill her companion with a
single sweep of her trunk, and crowds
frequently gather about the cage, ex-
pecting battle, but the dog eats and
sleeps without being molested.
The secret of this strange companion
ship, which no one ever guesses, is that
the dog Prince is really the master of
the household, and the elephants live in
constant fear of him.
On more than one occasion Prince
has succeeded in quieting the great
beasts when the keepers were powerless
to master them. Elphants are natural

Treat Killed by LigLtai-s.

They say that on Moosehead lake, Ne.
an angler recently was fishing with a
steel rod during a thunderstorm, and
struck trout at the same instant that
. thunderbolt dallied with his rod. The
cork handle prevented the angler feel
ing anything more than slight shock,
but when he hauled II In he found the
trout stone dead. He figured IL out that
tho lightning bolt followed tho rod and
the enameled line down to where the
trout had just taken hold u tho hook,
and there killed HIN.

FAUST AGAIN.
That Grand Old ScripturaI Lesson

No play ever in our city has met
with such universal approval as
this grand master piece of Goethe,
the German Shakespeare, and no
portrayal of that weird Satanic
Mephisto so lndelibly stamped upon
the minds of the large audience
who witnessed the part taken by
Mr.. Porter ], White, and his re-
turn to the city with a show double
ats former size, of unsurpassing
magnlhcence, with the grandest
electrical and mechanical effects
ever shown with a Faust" pro-
duction in this city. This the To-
cal managementpersonally guaran-
tees. This is the only Faust Com
pany that absolutely carries full
choir for the cathedral scene, the
same being specially engaged by
Mr.. White from the Church of the
TRANSPORTATION, st. Louis, Mo.
The Detroit Free Press of recent
date says that the beautiful rendi-
tion of the Drinking Chorus in the
grand opera, Faust" by Mr..
Whites magnificent quartette, was
the most impressive of anything
ever heard of that nature in De-
troit, and alone well worth the
price of admission. Mr.. White is

This Man Takes the Cake.

There have been a great many stories
about absent-minded men, and they are
always enjoyable. This concerns man
named Rogers, who lived in small
town, and owned Jersey COW, which
he used to drive morning and evening
to and from the pasture, not far from
his home. One morning, as neighbor
was passing along the road, he met Mr..
Rogers walking in the middle of the
lane apparently engrossed in some
weighty question. The neighbor called
out: Good morning, Mr.. Rogers.
Where are you going?" why" an
swered Mr.. Rogers, in a surprised way,
II am driving the COW TO pasture"
"Where is the cow" asked his friend.
Mr.. Rogers looked around vaguely, and
then he said. humbly' II suppose for
got TO let her out OF the barn" And so
he had.

PRINCE ON GUARD.

ly nervous and easily excited, and when
once aroused are difficult to control.
The keepers have found that when ev-
erything else fails they need merely
send Prince into the cage and the fu-
rious monsters will back to their cor
ners and remain quiet.
Peter r. McNally, one OF the assist
ants at the zoo, who vouched for
Princes ability, has observed several
similar cases of this curious power in
dogs.
The keepers do not know that Prince
ever engaged in battle with one of the
elephants, though there is not the least
doubt that they are all afraid Of him.

The Open Door.

The papers in America, now, since
the war is DER
Insist that China shall be made to
have an open door;
They rave about encroachments
made by Russia and by France,
And threaten if they do not cease,
to fight them l'outrance.
The easy victory over Spain, has
made the jingoes dare
To fume, and threaten, and to try
big bluff on the Bear;
The Eagle, too, must stop its shady
onward fight,
Or else they'll be in danger OF
loug and bloody fight.
But both these nations know full
we'll, how to meet the bluff,
They'll order ison from Carfiegie,
some million dollars worth.
The papers, too, they'll fiatter, and
with dollars fill both hands,
AS the planters of these Islands
did, when they stole kanaka's
lands.
And after this, these Cody men,
who for Cuba's freedom fought,
(And now are trying all they know
to have the Cubans out)
Will pat John Bull upon the back
and beg him force the door,
They'll help him automatically,
to oust the Russian Bear.
And when its done, they'll tell the
world OF England's grabbing
style,
And call poor John robber, a
pirate, and curse to modern
time;
But they'll take advantage of his
work, and try to push him out,
Some day they'll over-reach them
selves and find they re up the
spout.
IT'S sad to see nation whose
founder could not lie!
Stand forth eminent in for
eign diplomacy;
The Stars and Stripes, once foated
as an emblem of the free.
But now in sorrow fold the flag,
it brings nought but misery.

The Advertiser admits the high
standing of Mr.. Atkinson in the
literary world and at the same time
insinuates that he must have gained
his views from Julien D. Hayne or
from Captain Palmer, the two
"enemies" OF sacred Hawaii. The
Advertiser gets highly Indignant
when Atkinson insinuates that the
people of Hawaii we're happy and
contended when the missionaries
arrived. 1t tries to prove that the
Hawajians we're simply wretched;
that they owned no lands and were
living without clothing in the thral-
dom OF the big chiefs. Now, argues
the missionary organ, they are hap
py. They own no lands, but they
have clothes, for which they must
pay and in the majority of instances
they exc out an existence in the
thraldom of the sugar barons and
the money lenders. 1t is true that
our women no longer sport the
"pau" of their ancestors and that
silks and muslins have taken the
place of the ancient "kapa," but are
they happier for the change or are
their supporters better off, 1t is

now own the lands OF the natives and
clip their coupons in their baronial
