Prof. Hubert Herkomer, generally
known as an Englishman, is in fact
a Bavarian. A visitor to his home
in Bushey, England, found his house
surrounded by others occupied by
his free pupils. The intervals be-

Herkomer himself is fond of doing
carpenters work and improving his

Otojiro, the Henry Irving OF ia
pan, who is now playing with much
success in London, was originally a
diplomatist attached to the Japanese
embassy in Paris. On returning to
his native country, having meantime
become fascinated with the French
theater, he began applying the les
sons he had learned in Europe, and
now has completely revolutionized
the stage in Japan. He has made
many excellent adaptations of Euro
pean plays.
Austin Dobson, the English poet,
who has retired with pension from
his position as principal of de-

him to choose the civil service. He
entered the London board of trade
in 1856 as a clerk, and the poems and
biographical works which have made
him one of the leading English writ
ers of the day began to appear soon
thereafter in English periodicals.

A DARING OPERATION.
How n PIucIsy Man Removed nm ABB
sccss from the Left Side of
Reptiles Jaw. 2

One of the most dangerous opera
tions ever performed (for the person
performing it) was done successful Dy
in Bronx park, when Curator Ditmar
removed an abscess from the left side
of the king cobras jaw. Nearly 20 min
utes were occupied in performing the
operation, and every instant OF the
time Curator Ditmar's arms and hand
were within striking distance of the
fangs of snake whose venom is the
most deadly of any poisonous reptile
known to naturalists.
The Bronx king cobra is the largest
snake of his species in captivity. near
ly 16 feet long. He was brought from
Singapore nearly a year ago. Several
weeks ago slight swelling was no.
ticed on the right of the cobra's jaw.
Ditmar was convinced that the cobra
had boil or an abscess, and, consid-
ering the value of the reptile, he began
planning to remove it.
This was the cobra's feeding time.
A six-foot coach whip snake, which had
been starving itself lately, was killed
and studded with half-dozen fat
frogs. The stuffed snake was taken
to the door of the cage and thrown in.
In twinkling the cobra had him by
the neck. He dashed around the cage
with the dead snake for five minutes,
and then slowly began to-swallow it.
In doing so he lay in such position
that the abscess on his jaw was easily
visible, and within reach from his
door.
Ditmar procured long pair Of
tweezers and glass syringe, and he
and Keeper Snyder opened wide the
door Of the cobra's cage. At that the
snake edged away into a corner with
his prey and dashed his tail up and
down the glass partitions. Snyder
took hold of the dead snakes tail and
pulled it toward him The hungry
cobra frightened his hold. Snyder used
both hands and pulled until the head
of the cobra was within four feet of
the cage door. Ditmar filed the
syringe from the snakes water pan,
and reaching in his arm squirted the
water all over the cobra's jaw and
around the abscess to moisten It. The
cobra did not like it, but hung on to
the dead snake. Finally, Ditmar took
the tweezers and leaned in. With his
free hand he grasped the body Of the
coach-whip snake within few inches
of the cobra's head, and twisted until
the shining white jaws Of the cobra
turned over, and then, with deft turn
of the tweezers, extracted the abscess
and jumped away. The operation was
performed, and the relief to the snake
was obvious, for he gulped down the
six-foot dainty in half minute, shot
over into his corner, curled himself up,
and went to sleep.--New York Letter
to Chicago Inter Ocean.

for the lowest limbs were as high as
n grown person could reach. He did
his climbing quickly, and as often as
the squirrels went after the apples,
Grant went after the squirrels.
Everybody and everything on the
place were friends of Grant; in his
big heart there was love for the COW,
the cats and the chickens. Still, his
most intimate friend and campanion
in games was ben Roe" the two-year
old colt. Grant invented games and
taught them to Ben Roe, who, in his
turn, was quick to learn and of reten-
tive memory. Grant would take bar
rel-hoop or club>in his mouth, and
present Ben the opposite end; then
they would start off at gentle trot,
Grant all the time saying, "Grew-ow,
grew-ow." Now, when they played
what Grant called grew" they never
exceeded a gentle trot; but when they
raced, they ran side by side at fear
full rate, each painting and determined
to win. The game was always brought
to close as soon as one Of the family
found that racing was the order Of the
day. We liked to see them play "grcw,"
as we considered it an intellectual
game, worthy of encouragement.

Terror Inspired by Lions.

The terror inspired by man-eating
lions is well illustrated in the action
Of the Belgian Katanga company.
This corporation, which is developing
the rubber and other resources of q
large district in the upper Congo
basin, has abandoned the station of
Kululu, which it had established on
Lake Moero. Though a great deal of
labor had been expended in making
this station large and desirable
post, the region around it became in
tested with man-eating lions. 1t was
therefore decided to seek another To-
cation. Quite number Of natives in
the service of the state were killed
by these lions within a few weeks.
The victims were dragged into the
Jungle and eaten. Many men saved
their lives only by climbing trees,
thus getting out of reach Of the
bowling beasts beneath them. Every
where along the paths and brooks
the lions lay in wait for their prey,
and no man knew when he might be
struck to earth by the terrible foe
lurking in the jungle all ready for the
fatal spring.

HOME LIFE OF AN EMPRESS,
There Is Much of Real Domestic Hap
piness In the Imperial Family
of Russia.

The birth and christening Of the
fourth princess in the Russian royal
family has called renewed attention
to the ideal domestic life Of the i'm
peral couple. The empress is one of
the most popular among European
royalties, it is said, and was one of
the favorite grandchildren of Queen
Victoria, says the New York Trib-
une. Her mother, Princess Alice,
grand duchess of Hesse, wrote to the
queen when the little princess was
year old: "She is such sweet,
merry little persos, always laughing
and with deep dimple in one cheek,
just like Ernie" Her pet name was
sunny" and the quality indicated
by that still is a striking character
istic, say her friends.
The marriage of Princess Alix to
the czar was the climax of a pretty
love, story. Her eldest sister, Grand
Duchess Serge, was aunt by mar
riage to the czar, who, when caro-
witch, often met the princess at the
house of her sister. They fell in
love in the ordinary human way, but
both families opposed their mar
riage, for various reasons. One
Of the strongest was the difference
in religion, the czarowitch belonging
to the Greek church and the princess
to the Lutheran. The czarowitch was
sent on tour around the world, in
the hope that he might be diverted
from his love affair, but returned in
year, as much in love as ever
Finally Queen Victoria and the other
members of the family were won
over by the young man, but the
princess herself was reluctant to
abandon her creed. She confided her
religious scruples to her brother, the
grand duke of Hesse, who asked:
Then do you not love him?" She
answered just as any "mere girl
might: "Oh, yes! indeed ] dol"
Finally she was invited to England
by her aunt, Princess Louis of Bat
| tenberg, and the czarowitch, too, re-
ceived an invitation. He used his OPP
portunity to such good purpose that
the betrothal was announced at the
wedding, the next year, Of the grand
duke of Hesse and Princess Victoria
Malta of Coburg.
Soon came the illness and death of
| A1o.ro-Ia,. TIT fhn y-axytt oh
became emperor. His mother urged
a speedy marriage, and the young
princess was received into the Greek
church on November 20, 1894, and
the wedding took place almost i'm
mediately.
The empress is greatly interested
in philaRthropic work, and is at the
head of the association for relief OF
the poor. She is said to have read
all the best works on the English
laws relating to the poor. Every
thing in her home life is on the
simplest scale possible, and she en-
joys herself as any less exalted per-
son might, in riding, rowing, swim
ming, tennis playing and sketching,
Her skill with the brush is said to
be considerable, and she often amuses
herself with caricatures in pencil of
the members of her household, in a
way that no other artist would dare
to attempt.
She has her children about her al
most as constantly as any mother
among her people, giving personal
supervision to their training In mind,
manners and morals.
