SHIPPING WILD ANIMALS.
How They Are Confined and Cared
for In Transit Across
the Ocean.

Mr.. W. B, Robertson tells US in Cas-
sells Magazine that, compared with
CRATES and elephants, lions, panthers
and tigers are small; they are always
20 aggressively ferocious, however,
that care must be exercised in pack
ing them up for shipment. To SEQ
such goods in process of transit is

taken for a packing case full of sew

Look at the label, however. and you
will read in large letters; "Wild ami.

supplemented by q drawing Of a lion
or tiger or snake. or whatever the
animal inside may be. on the box.
This 10 in case Of its having to be

obtained by lifting a sliding door at

the other end Of the box Is knocked

WOULDN'T WEAR A DIAMOND.
President Lincoln BEGAN the Owner

shape Of q diamond pin which wa al

jewelry Of the kind that President Lin.

stitueion. The pin is OF the old.faSh'
toned style OF cluster brooches, WITH
a clasp at the back for the purpose Of
securing IL to the frilled shirt front,
worn by the gentlemen 50 years ago,
The center diamond is 8, large, particu.
lsrly white one, and Il is surrounded
by. a number Of small brillisnts.
The pin has a strange history. Some
years before the war and prior 10 the
time that Abraham Lincoln was be.
ginning to loom up as a presidential
possibility, while practicing law IN
Illinois, he mel a young dandy from
New York state whose sporting pro.
clivities had caused him to run short
OF funds. The young fellow went to
Lincoln for assistance and left with
him as security for a loan a handsome
diamond pin. For some q he never
returned TO redeem the pledge and from
that day Lincoln did not again see
him.
Lincoln was naturally q man of quiet
taste in matters Of dress, and seldom
wore jewelry Of any kind. However,
his accidental possession OF a fine or
nament proved a temporary temptation
to adorn himself. One day James Moy.
ers, a stock dealer of Kentucky, and a
close personal friend OF Mr.. Lincoln,
who had known him intimately from
childhood, went to Springfield on a
visit. As soon as he saw Lincoln the
pin attracted his attention.
well, who'd "a thought that Abe
Lincoln would be strutting around tn,
street with a diamond pin in his shirt
'front.'" exclaimed Meyers in mock sur.
prise. Lincoln looked vaguely abashed
and tried to explain. The explanation
ended by his taking the pin from bis
shirt and pinning it on Meyers, in.
sisting as he did so that he did not want
1t, and was only too anxious to get rid
Of It, Meyers kept the ornament fol
some time, and finally gave it to Z
friend, James Drummond. Drummont

federals and died at Fort Monroe. Ii

B. c. Among the latter was the Dir

Some years ago Col. Cave was offere,

with it.

These hosts of God have had a long
march. and fearful battles and defeats
have again and again mingled with
the victories. but to-day we come in
sight Of the great city, the capital Of
the universe, the residences Of the
King and the home of those who are
TO reign with Him for ever and ever.
Look at the towers and hear them
ring with eternal jubilee. Look at the
house Of many mansionA where many
OF our loved ones are. Behold the
streets Of Furnished gold and hear
the rumble Of the sAArlots Of those
who r more than conquerors. So
far from being driven back, all the II
gates are wide open for our entrance.
We are marching on and marching on.
and our every step brings us nearer
to the city.
At what hour we shall enter we
have nc power TO forstell. but once
enlisted amid the blood-washed host
our entrance is contain. II may be
in the bright MONDAY or the dark
midnight, II may be when the air
is laden with springtime fragrance or
chilled with falling SHOWS. But enter
we must, and enter we will through
the grace offered Us as the chief Of
sinners. Higher hills than any i have
spoken OF will guard that city. More
radiant waters than l saw In the Rus
sian valley win pour through that
great metropolis. No raging conha-
grafton shall drive us forth, for the
only fires kindled in that city will be
the fires Of splendor that shall ever
hoist and never die. Reaching that
shining gate. there win be q parting,
but no tears at the parting. There
will be an eternal farewell, but no
sadness in the ~utterance. Then and
there we will part with one of the
best friends we ever had. No place
for her in Heaven, for she needs no
Heaven. While love and joy and other
graees enter Heaven. she will stay
out. Patience, beautiful Patience,
long suffering Patience, will OF that
gate say: 'Good-byl I helped you
in the battle Of life, but now that you
have gained the triumph you need me
no more. / bound up your wounds
but now they are all healed. I soothed
your bereavements, but you pass now
into the reunions Of Heaven. I can
do no more for you, and there Is moth.
ing for me to do in . city where there
are no burdens to carry. Good-byi i
go back into the world from which
you came up. TO resume my tour
among hospitals, and ~sickrooms. and
bereft households, and almshouses.
The cry Of the worlds sorrow reaches
my ears, and | must descend. Up and
down that poor suffering world | will
go to assuage and comfort and sus'
tain. until the world itself expires. and
on all Its mountains, and In all lie
valleys, and on all its plains, there ID
not one soul left that has need Of pa
tience."
