Handling Wild Animals,

When you see an animal trainer per
forming with ferociouS beasts you
may be quite right if you imagine the
man as Il fearless master Of them,
but if you think for an instant that
there Is no danger, you are wholly
wrong. A trainer never confronts the
beasts and compels them to do his
bidding but he literally takes his life
in his hands.
He is so used to the danger that be
does not think of it each time. and he
holds his mastery Of them by a sort of
power that becomes habt-second ma
ture, as it were-just as he eats his
meals or performs other common EN-
Payments,
OF all animals, keepers say. the tiger
is the worst and most treacherous. 1t
is necessary to keep the eye fixed
pretty constantly upon it. or it may re-
volt at any moment. There is only
one secret. If such it can be called. of
handling wild beasts. and that is to
be brave and make them fear you. II
they have the slightest cause to think
you timid they will take advantage of
1t instantly, and they are shrewd and
knowing in their way and constantly
watching for some moment of a tenn
porary forgetfulness or timidity.-St.

HANGED BY THE NECK.


One Who Underwent the Operation

In The Wide World Magazine Rich

narrow escape from being hanged on
the stage Of the Queens theater, Dub

particularly villainous character, who
after a long career of crime Is, to the
general satisfaction of the audience,
captured by two British soldiers and
promptly hanged.
Zone night while struggling with
my captors, the rope slipped from my
shoulders and knotted itself around my

His Hair Turned Black,

There have been several instances Of
asman's hair turning from white to
black. One of the most notab perhaps
was that of an engineer in the fire de-
partment of Louisville. His age was
IS, and he was on duty during a ire
mendous fire for Is consecutive hours
The spray was constantly flying from
the hose. and he became, in consequence
of the lowness of temperature of the
atmosphere, covered from head to foot
with ice He wore skullcap and "a
helmet on the top of that, SO that his
head was the warmest part of his body
and not at all exposed, though his eye
brows and whiskers became wet and
were frozen stiff. The afternoon after
the exposure his hair, which had be-
come gray eight years before and had
for three years been white, turned per
fectly black. louisville Post.

CONJURED A TREATY.
How HOudin, the Magician, Awed the
Arabs Into Submission.


During the French conquest of Al
geria 1880 1889 negotiations for peace
were entered upon with the sheiks Of
certain Arab tribes, and meeting for
the settlement of terms was arranged to
take place at the French headquarters.
The French officers received their guests
with great hospitality, and after the
banquet given in their honor, at which
the utmost splendor was employed, in
order to dazzle their eyes and captivate
their simple minds, an adjournment
was made to a large hall, where M
Houdin, the celebrated conjurer, who
had accompanied the French forces,
gave an exhibition of his skill.
They stared in open mouthed wonder
at all the tricks that were performed,
and feeling of awe crept over them as
they witnessed the mysterious appear
ance and disappearance of various OBJ
jects But what appeared to them most
marvellous was the apparent manufac-
ture of cannon balls M. Houdin passed
round among them high hat, which
they examined very carefully, but with
out suspecting anything unusual in Ell
Their its make or its appearance. When
the hat was returned to him the con-
jurer placed it on the floor in the mid
die of the stage in full view of his au
dience He then proceeded to take from
the hat cannon balls apparently with
out number, and rolled them across the
floor into the wings. With this the per-
Torrance terminated.
The chiefs then consulted among
themselves and came to the conclusion
that it was useless to offer any opposi-
ton to an army that could turn out its
ammunition in SO easy a manner. They
therefore signed the required treaty and
departed to tell their friends in the
desert of the wonderful power of the
invaders. -Cincinuati ENQUIRER

A Whimsical Wager.

had the reputation Of being a brilliant
talker, made a wager with club friend
that during the first year of his mar.
riage with the daughter of certain
count he would preserve rigid silence
when in her presence, and, in fact,
would not speak single word to her
This resolution he faithfully kept; but,
owing to the fact that the wager was
not made public, some very curious con-
sequences ensued.
His wife, believing him to be insane,
privately sent brain specialist to ex-
anime the taciturn gentleman. He was
on the point of being conveyed to a
sanatarium when he disclosed the rea-
son of his behavior. When the year was
up he claimed his wager. which was
