HAD TO KILL THE LIONEss.

HAD TO KILL THE LlONESS.
Eve, the liouess with Sig. Ssutelle's
circus, which escaped and made mat
tels lively In the lower part of Bridge
port, COnp., for few hours Wednef-
day morning until she was captured, is
dead. The excitement OF EVa's fsw
hours OF liberty 10 that city and the in
tense heat were too much for her and
her mind weakened and she became
deranged. % the way to Ausonis she
attacked Miss Olga Reed, an eques.
trienne, to whom she bad always been
friendly. Killing the lioness was the
only way OF curing her, so the death
took place.
Eva was restless after her escapade
in Bridgeport. She had never known
liberty before, having been born In cap
tiVity and always kept in 1t. The brief
spell OF freedom turned her mind. She
paced up and down her cage occssionly
growing and snarling through the bars.
Her keeper could not persuade her to
be still. IL wss not until the show was
we'll on the road to Ansonia that she
became quiet. Miss Reed, who is q
granddaughter OF Dan Rice, the fam
Gus old circusman, was q favorite OF
Eve.
The young woman is not profes
sional lion tanner, uut she knows the
art of handling the wild animals. II
was her daily custom TO pet the big cat,
as she called Eva, and when the circus
procession stopped on the road to rest
she decided to pay visit to the lioDess
and coax her back into good humor.
Eva, at first, seemed pleased TO see the
young woman. Fearing no danger,
Miss Reed put her hand between the
had done so many times before, but
Thursday Miss Reeds hand had just
touched the animal when 1t gave
snarl and snap and Its jaws held the
young woman's wrist ia a vise.like
clutch.
Miss Reed, thoroughly frightened,
gave o scream and whole bevy OF the
circus people rushed to the lioness's
cage. Eva was firm 10 her grip, but
she was careful not to tear the young
woman's arm.
The trainer observed this and feared
to beat of Eva, lest she would do Miss
Reed considerable injury. IL was only
after a good deal of coaxlng and by
drawiog the lioness's attention to raw
meat, that she was induced to relax her
hold.
Meanwhile Miss Reed was greatly
frighted. The pain OF the squeezing
was terrible and the thought of the
lioness tearing of her hand almost
prostrated her. Signor Sautelle, the
trainer, and other animal men with the
circus saw from the blOodshot condition
Of Evs's eyes and her resllessness that
she was victim OF the heat. A dose
of chloroform was given her to quiet
her and then enough was administered
to terminate her life. 1t is rare that
lioness is in that condition, but when
one is, killing is the only cure. Sig
Sautelle will have Eva's skin stuffed
and mounted.

ON THE CARE OF THE EYES.
Never Read When Sleepy or in the
Cars

Never Read When Sleepy or in the
| Cars.
| On the treatment of the eyes, as on
most topics, doctors often disagree
An oculist said yesterday to patient:
Wear these glasses when reading for
about a month, but no longer. If you
find your eyes still troubling you, come
! back to me, but the chances are that
| they will be all right. People often in
jure their eyes by wearing spectacles
| long after they have performed their
task. In such cases as yours, the only
| difficulty Is slight straining Of the
muscles by overwork and rest such as
| is afforded by the glasses, for a month
generally, is sufficient to restore them
| to their normal condition.
People who have no defect Of vision
seem to think that they never can have,
and give their eyes all kinds of abuse.
When reading, sewing or doing any
thing that requires continuous use of
the eyes, one should close them at in
tervals, for moment or two, then look
off at distance. This rests the mus
cles.
1.-THE work or book should be held no
nearer than Is necessary for clear vi
sion and one should never attempt to
read or work by twilight or dim light of
any kind.
"The common practice Of reading In
cars is responsible for many visual
troubles, as there is a constant strain
on the directing muscles. The same is
true of reading when lying down. 1t is
mistake also to read when sleepy, as
the muscles Of accommodation and con-
vergence are relaxed and the effort to
work causes congestion of the blood
vessels Of the eyeball.
1.-THE cheap editions of popular books
are extremely hurtful to the sight. as
rule. One should not read a type too
small to be seen readily at eighteen
inches distance"
1t is said that blue eyes are structu-
rally the weakest and brown the
strongest and the students of lunacy
state that in insane asylums there are
more black and brown eyes than any
other colors.
Mental and temperamental traits also
are said to be indicated by certain
characteristics of the eyes. Clear blue
color accompanies cheerful DISPOSE
tion and blue gray denotes good deal
of self-control, while green-gray eyes
generally are indicative of a hasty tenn
per. Small eyes are thought to be sig
nificant of cunning and deceit, and
large eyes to indicate frankness and
honesty. Large eyes that open widely
signify tendency to rashness, but
when the upper lid covers half or more
of the pupil, cool elaboration may be
expected.
Eyes too close together are likely to
mean deceit and poor judgment The
proper distance between them is the
length of one eye. When the white +of
the eye shows beneath the pupil nobil-
ity OF character may be assumed, and
a tendency to insanity is probable
when the whole of the iris is VISIBLE

and not the manufacturing of things.
There was never a time when the peo-
pie were working in this country so
hard as they are now. There is a great
pressure on our modern life and civil
cation.
The new ideas of Sunday have swept
the horizon. 1t has become a day of lib
erty.
Eighty-ive per cent. of the leaders
are said to have been born in the coun-
try, or in villages. Sunday means more
for the people than all the other six
days. The law for rest is in nature
God having made the law for rest, He
made it mental law and the spiritual
law. Daniel Webster understood the
relation between the church and civili-
cation.
There was a time when the making
of a sermon was easy. The sermon was
the college, the newspaper and the re-
view, for the people. The original way
does not prevail now. None of you
want sermons three hours long. The
people now have books. They want
the statement presented from new an
gle They want sermons presented con-
cisely and freshly. This is an enormous
task now. The creation of litera ture
has given great problem to the
preacher.
There is now multiplicity of socie-
ties in the church. 1t takes the vital
forces very largely to run the societies.
The mere physical work of instruction
is large one. The widow is now the
most striking personality in the congre-
cation The preacher writes more than
the editors talks more than the lawyers
and calls more than the physicians. l
believe the problem of multiplicity of
services is a problem that has got to be
settled.
There is the problem of criticism The
higher criticism has made the Old Tes-
lament new book Jesus has come in
to dwell in the hearts of men. 1t has
come to be the book of hope and for
giveness of sin. 1t points forward to
golden age. This Old Testament has
become a new book and the New Tesla
ment has become the book of Jesus
Christ Memory and conscience wont
change God IS still in the heavens.
Surprising you do have new theory
regarding the four gospels. 1t will not
affect Christianity. Christianity will
not be changed in one principle. 1t all
rests on Jesus Christ. Who cares about
the changes in the geography. The
mountain ranges remain. Song does
abide, though the singer passes on.
Christ and the soul abide forever. AT
the end of time the church will have
grown more and more. There was
never a time when the young minister
had so much hope as to-day. The
world is coming into ripeness religious
ly The people have come back to
Christianity The people want some
thing firm to stand upon Men are re-
turning with one accord back to the
church. The church at home and abroad
is coming back to victory and the earth
is to be lifted UP to it's Father.
