An amusing little scene, in which
the '.helpful only gentleman figured,

The old gentleman stood it as lorg
as he could consciert iously, then, look

''Stop that racAet-you children y

Of the mothers, in loud, angry
tone.
But if she did the old gentleman

TRAINING OF ANIMALS.

Only Accomplished, 1t Is Said, by the
Use of the Whip.
The popular theory that animals can
be taught tricks by frmness and kind
ness is a grim error, according to vet
eran circus man who has sent forth
trained to do anything unnatural ex-
cept by punishment. If it knows hun
ger or pain will follow disobedience, it
will obey.
1t takes the whip to break the colt to
harness or saddle, but the end justifies
the means, and the animals intelli-
gence when once it has learned it's les
son does away with further use of the
whip. But if a horse is taught tricks,
such as one sees in a circus, the con-
stant use Of the whip is necessary,
and the little pat on the neck the train
er gives the animal in public is not be-
slowed in private. There is never any
let up in their training.
Trained dogs always appeal to wom-
en- and children, for the little animals
appear to thoroughly enjoy their work.
But the barking and frisking are only
the natural joy of the poor beasts at
being let out of the cramped quarters
where they stay when they are not In
the ring. Moreover, they know the
trainer does not whip them in public.
There is scarcely trick trained dog
does that he likes or that he will do at
order unless punished. Willis Cobb
was the first dog trainer to make q
reputation, and when he was middle
aged he abandoned his profession be-
cause, he said he had not the heart to
go on making a living by whipping

Severe Punishment.

Sterling is derived from the name by
which the dwellers in eastern Germany
were known in the twelfth and thir-
teenth centuries. They were called
Easterlings. The purity not only of
their money was very famous, but that
of their silver specially so, and coiners
and silversmiths were fetched from
those parts to improve the quality of
our own manufactures.
So far back as 1897 two counterfeit
ers, who sold spurious silver articles
bearing simulated royal lion and the
goldsmiths' marks, were sentenced to
stand in a pillory at Westminster, with
their ears nailed thereto and with pa
pers above their heads setting forth
the nature of the offense for which
they were so disgraced. After this
degradation they were publicly march
ed to Cheapside, put in the pillory
there, and had each one ear cut off,
finally being conducted back to the
Fleet prison and having to pay a fine
of 10 marks each.
1t seems that in recent times the rec
ord price for Elizabethan silver was
f70 los. per ounce. For old articles ir
this metal the sum usually obtainable
ranges from f5 to Ell per ounce, ac
cording to the artistic workmanship
displayed on them.-London Telegraph

No Two Thum bs Alike.

1t is not alone on questions Of hand
writing that handwriting experts are
called upon to testify. Thumb impress
sions, around which Mark Twain in
"Puddin'head Wilson" built his ingen-
ious story, have sometimes formed
the basis Of very convincing testimony.
Conan Doyle said that Carvalho's de-
ductions in the case of the robbery of
$4,000 from a package of the Ameri-
can Express company, for nicely of
reasoning and extraordinary coinci-
dence, echpsed anything any one ever
dared put into fiction.
In 1894 Asa Guy Gurney was tried
on the charge Of stealing large sum
Of money from the express company.
1t was proved that Gurney had opened
the safe where the package had been
placed, taken it out and deposited it in
another safe. 1t was found that q
large sum was missing.
The evidence was purely circumstan-
tial. The envelope containing the mon
ey bore upon 1t, however, a thumb i'm
preston. Mr.. -Carvalho testified that
the impression on the envelope and
several impressions Of Gurneys
thumb corresponded exactly and con-
tended that there were no two thumbs
in the world alike. But such evidence
was too subtle for the rural jury which
tried the case, and the prisoner was
acquitted.
1t Is to be recorded as a tribute to
the accuracy of Carvalho's testimony
that Gurney soon after confessed
