needless suffering and foolish expense that

LIONS BRED IN CAPTIVITY.
They Develop FerOCity and Are as
Healthy as Wild Ones.

Healthy as Wild One9.
There was a current tradition that
wild animals born in captivity do not
attain the savageness Of those bred
in their native jungle, and hat the
teeth of such animals do not develop
as they do in the wild state. Mr.. AL
exander Day, assistant superintendent
at the Zoo, whose experience with wild
animals has been almost lifelong, says
that he has not found these assertions
to be true.
However innocent and apparently
tame the cubs may appear, he says
there Is a time when they-attain saw
ageness, apparently from instinct,
and show all the Characteristic of the
animals whose home has always been
the forest or the grown lions which
were born and reared in captivitya and
may be seen any day cracking bones of
meat with which they are fed with
every evidence of possessing the most
sound teeth possible.
The only way in which wild ami
mails in captivity usually suffer with
their teeth is that when they are fed
they may grab. at the meat which is
pushed through the bars with a big
iron fork and break a tooth on the
fork, or they may, in jumping against
the bars, injure a tooth and suffer aft
erWard from its loss. The little lions,
when baby cubs, are shy at first; then
become as playful as kittens. Forthe
first year Of their life, usually, they
may be treated as domestic animals.
Atthe age of about IL weeks the cubs
are taken from their mother, but in
the meantime she has taught them
to eat meat. At first the.cubs suck a
bone or a scrap of raw meat which the
mother tears off fortbem. Often they
may be seen gnawing upon a bone
which the mother lion holds in her
jaws and paws.
When first taken from their moth
er the cubs are given finely chopped
meat, the pieces being gradually made
larger until they are given bones,
upon which they sharpen and develop
their teeth. In time the lions can
crush the bones with ease. From IL
to Ia months of age the young lions
are, it is said, so cross as to be almost
manageable. At the age of 18
months or two years the cubs are taken
in hand BY the trainer and then, hay-
ing reached their growth, they are
ready to be perfected in their tricks
and to be exhibited.
It is said by those familiar with
lion tanning and training that lions
which have been brought up as pets
are the hardest to train for perform
ances. They do not seem to take the
training seriously, and are not so
easily mastered as those which have
grown to maturity without petting-

MR.. MOODY's LITTLE ok.
The Famous Evangelist Was a Good
Deal of a Wag.

Comparatively few people knew the
humorous side Of the late Dwight l..
Moody; yet among the neighbors and
friends of his boyhood he was known
as a good deal of a wag, and a hearty
laugh was a benediction to him.
One of his old friends, Mr. George
G. lockwood, of New York, then his
summer neighbor, standing with
him one day in front Of his home at
Mortified, dwelt with great enthu.
siasm upon the beautiful view of the
Connecticut river and the rolling up
lands presented from the spot.
It is one Of the finest stretches of
landscape in the entire state, and all
who have seen it have admired it
greatly.
