Hot Iron for Animals.

"When all other methods Of control
ling wild beasts fail, the keeper has
only to employ an iron rod which has
been made red hot at one end" said an
old circus man to Washington Star
reporter. "Lions and tigers will cringe
before the heated poker and no matter
how restless and fretful they may have
been the sight of the glowing iron i'm
mediately brings them to their best Of
animal senses. 1t has an almost hyp-
motto influence over the beasts. / have
seldom heard Of an animal being burn
ed in this manner, however, so there Is
nothing cruel in the treatment. 1t would
not do for the keeper to burn the
charges under his care, for the scars
would mar the animal for exhibition
purposes. The hot iron is terror just
the same and under its persuasion the
kings Of the jungle are docile and ready
to do what is wanted Of them.

This is true Of the younger specimens,
who do not like the idea of being so
closely housed, so much hauled about
and often cut off from the light Of the

sary to give their cage thorough and
sanitary cleansing one attendant holds
the beast in a corner by means of the
red-hot iron, while another thoroughly
cleanses the remaining portion Of the
cage-the work being accomplished by
brooms and mOps from the outside. In

Empress Jose phine Gut a Costly Piece
and Napoleon Slapped Her.
For $1,000 has been sold In Paris a
piece Of lace which was the cause Of
quarrel between Napoleon and Jo-
sephine, in which the cheeks Of the En-
press were slapped. 1t had been the
property Of Mile. Perusset, daughter Of
favorite maid of the Eighty Empress
Napoleon had brought the lace from
Italy. He often brought her beautiful
things on his return from a successful
campaign, and Josephine never asked
him how he had got them, for she
thought that perhaps he would not care
to tell.
1t was large square of the finest old
point de Venise, and Josephine, as soon
as she had it in her possession. sent for
M. Duplan, her man-milliner, and asked
him to make with it certain fichu and
a peplum.
impossible, your majesty" answered
Duplan, 1.-The piece is too large, and we
could not arrange it gracefully"
"Well, cut it, then"
"Cut a treasure such as that! Oh,
madam, l could not do such thingw
NONSENSE cried Josephine. The
lace was draped on her shoulders; she
knew how she wanted it; so she calmly
took pair Of scissors, and in a second
had it set right while long, narrow
pieces of the priceless stuff fell round
her.
At this moment the Emperor entered
the room. "Cannibalew hS cried. And
he gave her a sounding slap on her
violently rouged cheeks, which were
soon covered with tears. Duplan dis
creetly withdrew, and the lace was
thrown into chest of drawers. Jo-
sephine could not bear the sight Of
after that, and gave it to Nine. Perus-
set, her favorite maid. The odd bits Of
1t have now been sold for $1,000. An
other bundle fetched $1,000.
The passion Of Josephine for lace
caused frequently scenes between her
and Napoleon. She would have lace,
and she seldom let anything stand in
the way of acquiring 1t. 1t Is even
said that this frivolous fancy helped
to bring about her downfall, for Ma
poleon, who at first would not hear Of
forsaking her, one day said to the
Prince De Wagram: "The cup Is full
now, Prince. What do you think Jo-
sephine did lately? 'Nobbled' one Of
my young generals, and made him pass
lace for her in his top boots through
my own frontier! Her soul Is made

suesIsT BY EATING DIRT.
Strange and Repuisive Habit Of Native
Of the West Indies.

Strange and Repuisive Habit OF Natives
Of the West Indies.
You can't convince the coolie OF the
Grenadine Islands, West Indies, that
there is any harm in eating dirt. His
own diseases ought to convince him,
but they don't. The rest Of their diet Is
simple and meager. For the most part
they are vegetarians. They eat rice.
peas, curry and ghee, q specially pre-
pared butter in great use. Most pro-
Tossing vegetarians do not EXCLUDE
from their diet milk and eggs. but these
coolies will not touch either except
when they are in hospital and forced
to do so. To hard workers In the cane
fields under a scorching tropical sun
such a frugal diet cannot be supposed
to be productive of health or robust
ness. And when to this sort Of food Is
added the luxury of officiating It is no
wonder that these coolies are blOodless
and stiff jOinted. These Ills are char
acteristic of the race.
Coolie patients in the English hospi-
tdlS Va SdllldCOu, OAC Va thO SASA
Islands, frequently are found to have
gravel hidden in their clothing, and
they cry and beg for it like the NOR
phine eater for his dope. This stuff
which they eat is soft, slate-colored
or grayish stone. Sometimes the pull
verified dirt is made into cakes. If
there isn't much of this to be had the
coolies eat rags, paper and coke.
A coolie who Is well along In the art
of officiating Is swollen all over the
body and the muscles Of his legs are
tense. His face is puffy and has dis
tressing look Of WEAKNESS and prema-
ture age. He Is short Of breath and Is
unable to speak, so that he has to make
signs to indicate his condition. His
tongue Is swollen and fabby and lies
in the floor Of his mouth, from which
he cannot raise 1t, from pure weakness.
1t is marked strongly with impressions
Of the teeth. He has severe headaches,
dimness Of sight and pains in the abdo-
men. His skin is thin, flabby and lack
ing Of firmness, and even in the case
Of children feels like the skin Of an
aged person. The complexion is pasty.
But to have the diseases incident to
officiating it is not necessary to eat dirt
Intentionally. Laborers in the fields,
who rarely wash their hands, have been
known to take enough dirt into their
stomachs by handling their food with
their unwashed hands to acquire all the
ills which affiict those who eat dirt be-
cause they like it.

ClOseness PersOnifled.

There's a good story told on a young
fellow here noted for his closeness. He
went to spend the night with friend.
During the entire night he betrayed
much restlessness. which kept the host
wide awake, and finally the slumberer
betrayed signs of violent emotion
"He's going to have nightmare" said
the friend, "but he always grumbles so
when you wake him up that hate to
disturb him." He waited a while
longer, sitting up in bed staring on the
miserable sleeper, and finally, becom-
ing alarmed, he reused him. He sprang
up in bed, glared wildly around and
said: where am 1? l don't see the
Storm"
"Why, here in my ROOM" said the
host, soothingly: "you remember you
stayed all night with me? beg your
pardon for waking you up, but you
carried on so had to-"
BEG my pardon" gasped the guest.
81 shall never be grateful enough to
you. I dreamed I was out with Miss
Rud and terrible storm came up, and
my shoes were new, and I was just or
dering coupe for two when you reused
me. Old boy, you have saved me a
dollar"
And the host says he was actually
afraid to 60 to sleep again that night,
for fear the coupe would come.-Louis-

The Wisconsin Man Buys a Woman's
Fried Oysters in a Restaurant.
While the national convention of the
w. G. T. U. was in session in Wash
ington one of the California delegates,
an elderly lady, went into a restaurant
OH G street, looked the bill Of fare over
carefully, and ordered fried oysters.
How many" asked the waiter.
"Oh," she said, remembering the d.
minutive oyster Of California, II guess
dozen and half will do"
The waiter lifted his eyebrows, but
took the order back to the kitchen. In
due time he appeared with an enormous
platter full of fried oysters, each half
as large as mans hand.
The California lady nearly tainted.
"Take them away" she gasped. 81
never, never ordered that great mass Of
food"
That's dozen and half fried oys.
tiers, ma'am," the waiter replied.
There was some hysterical but vain
argument on the part of the delegate
from California.
She was told she would have to pay
for the oysters, but she needn't eat
them unless she chose to do So
Just then Senator Spooner came in
and sat down at the next table. The
w. c. 7. U. delegate, almost in tears,
leaned over and asked imploringly:: "Oh,
sir, do you like fried oystersY'
Senator Spooner stared. 81 have
eaten them. madam" he replied, with
dignity.
"Then please buy these; please,
please do"
But" said the Senator, laughing,
II never eat them now, for find they
promote Indigestion"
The lady exhibited her white ribbon
badge and implored again: "Oh, you
haven't eaten anything yet; please buy
these"
well, I'll buy them. but I assure
you madam, I do not contract to eat
| them"
And he paid the check, while the
delegate from California almost ran
out Of the restaurant.
