STAGE ANIMAL TRICKS.
[From the Penny Magazine.l

fTOIu the IGnuy Md6dzAhC-1
If they can roll an eye, they never
cease to roll so long as they think any
one is looking; and if they can switch
a tail they switch it. This weakness
sometimes, Just as weaknesses in gen
eral get real animals into trouble.
Hence, an elephant with fine freely
moving tail began to switch that tail
with great vigor while on its way TO
the front of the house. Just as it was
emerging from the side into view, the
woolly end of the tail in its abandoned
flights caught a gas jet and at the same
instant caught fire. The fire spread as
rapidly as dry gummy canvas and dry
withies can make it burn and the ele-
plant appeared in a blaze Fortunately
for the men inside the flames were on
the top and the first intimation they
received of the conf1agration was
feeling of something cold striking them
on the back. 1t was water and the
water increased and they were drenched
and Mortified, for they knew not whence
it came or what it meant, or what
might come next
One ef-the cleverest elephants is that
made for a celebrated performer. 1t
picks up biscuits with it's trunk and
puts them into its mouth The secret
of the prehensile power of the trunk
lies in a pair of pincers with which 1t is
fitted, and which are, of course, con-
cealed. Monsters of the deep" on the
stage are usually meant as caricatureS;

they have all been taken long enough
ago from their native element to be
already cured and offered for sale in
the market unblushingly show every
sign of life. Even the lobster, though
it has been boiled, as its color shows
for it is red-never ceases to move it's
mandibles and antennae while before
the public. A swordfish is, no doubt,
a very impressive creature on the stage,
the sword, naturally, receiving great
emphasis from the maker and special
publicity from the men inside. 1t is
thus. a common thing for that sword
to get in trouble, and for the poor fish
in a stage procession to ask a harmless
mussel oyster to take care of my
swordi" A dragon thirteen feet long,
and emitting flames, makes us think
that we must have got away from can
vas, wickerwork and paper, else the
flames are certainly not real. The
flames. however, are real enough, and a
man inside ignites and fans the spirit
saturated cotton-with his breath. Tt is
out of a canvas mouth, too. that they
come, but that mouth is fitted with as
beStOS cloth.

AN INTERPRETATIONS.

TParis Letter in the London Express
At the distribution of prizes at the
National French Society of Temperance.
DR.. Philibert, speaking of the ravages
of alcoholism in France, mentioned that
in a village of 1924 inhabitants in Brit
tany there were IL public houses. Each
inhabitant consumed monthly go pints
of spirits and 471a pints of wine, cider
or beer. OF every hundred drinks
served on given day-Sunday, Octo-
Der 81 last-21 We're eau-de-vie (brandy
distilled from cider) A brandy, Il rum
absinthe and the rest beer, wine or
cider. The result is that the birth rate
is stationary so per cent of the chill
dren die before they are 90 and barely
more than u valid conscripts are fur
nished every year. I may mention that
the village of Mailly Maillet, in the de-
partment of the Some. gives points to
the doctors in the matter of drinking
shops The village numbers 800 per-
sons, % public houses. 2 breweres and
distilleries. 1t is probably a record.
