secret Of valid Animal Training.

From Les1ie's Weekly.
Suppose" sad Mr.. Bostock, "that L
am about to train a lion to perform
certain tricks. If I went at once into
lis cage and attempted to drive him,
would probably be killed But I don't do
that. Before try to teach bin anything
I let the lion get used to me. 1 hang
sbout his cage day sfter day, talking to
him and keeping in his sight. He would
see me late at night and early In the
mt rning. l would give him his food and
alter. Occasionally would pat MS
head, and gradually the lien comes to
have a friendly feeling toward me. l be-
come, as 1t were, an acquaintance of his
end from becoming accustomed to me
the lion grows TO like me; and begin to
like the lion, too, just as you would like
any big ret, a horse or a big dog. Then
/ go into the lions cage without being
obtrusive or brusque. The big dangerous
beast having gotten used to seeing me
outside, scarcely notices the difference
when l am in his private domain. 1 grad
ually approach him and drive him about
the cage, cracking my whip so that he
will know that mean business. The lion
probably believes that there is much
greater power In that whip than there
really Is. If 1 hit him with 1t 1 do not
hurt him. There is a knack In cracking
a whip SO that it will not give much
pain. l could swing a whip on you and
strike you with a 'crackr but you would
scarcely feel It.
THE general principal Of animal train
ing is to proceed easily and gradually,
being gently persistent but not agrees
siye. overcoming opposition by persuasion
rather than by direct opposition and
force 1t is the same course as that
which applies to men. You first become
acquainted with the man from whom you
wish to obtain a favor. Then, as a feel
ing of friendship grows between you, he
is at last glad to do as you wish"

FIlrtatlons In seminarIes.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The Missouri legislature has killed the

are located, although 1t was asked for
by the president of the female college at
Lexington and Endorsed by letters from
nearly every female college in the state.
1t is said that the conditions at Licking

conduct on the part of the boys and some

Duty.
By Won Humboldt.

BY Won Humboldt.
The things of the world are ever rising
and falling and in perpetual change, and
this change must be according to the
will of God. as he has bestowed upon
man neither the wisdom nor the power
to enable him to check it. The great les
son in these things is that man must
strengthen himself doubly at such times
to fulfill his duty and do what is right
and must seek his happiness and inward
peace from objects which can not be
taken away from him.

Stop and Think.

Warren (Mass.) Herald.
People are apt to jog along in weary round
of thought and action, crushing opportunities
under their feet, it may be. They need to be
aroused.
Why not stop and think a minute why we
are so foolish as to pay two cents or more tor
railway fare, when Carroll D. Wright, says Is
cents for 100 miles would be all it would cost,
if the governn ent owned the railroads, as it
should? BY the government, we mean, of
course, in America, the people, collectively.
Why do we 60 allowing coal-mine operators
to command our health and lives, even when at
any time we can say to congress, by our votes,
"Pubic Ownership shall exist from this time
forward?" Why do we continue the taxing of
the American nation by Rockefeller's Standard
Oil comp any, when from to 10 cents could be
taken off the price of oil by public ownership?
The nation has learned to dread Rockefeller's
gifts, for oil is sure to 60 up one or two cents

Why not do away with all this well-founded
suspicion by the establishment of cooper ative
commonwealth? There is no need for con-
tinuation Of the present distress.

As to Big Families.

Peoples Voice, Wellington.
The man or woman who deliberately avoids
marriage IS, in effect, criminal against the
race, and shohld be an object Of contemptuous
adherence by all healthy eople.-President
Roosevelt.
The President has uttered great truth, but
there is another one which should be placed
beside it. Under our present system, which he
is doing his utmost to intensity, the young man
starting without capital, and with only ordinary
ability, has absolutely no future before him but
that of clerk or employee, with more or less
uncertainty of employment, and with no hope
of anything but clerks pay. The thoughtful
Young man or woman hesitates, as well they
may, on the threshold OF matrimony, with its
attendant expense of family increasing in
members, as it should, as the years go by, and
with no hope of increase in income above
meager salary now secured by the ordinary man
that makes up the mass of mankind.
Let President Roosevelt and others who have
no need to fear want eXpend their energies and
hur their denunciations at the thieves who
control this government who, by law breaking
and by purchase of Legislators and legislation,
are so rapidly absorbing the wealth that this
average man produces, and closing the door of
opportunity in his face. This is the saddest
part of the effects of this damnable system un-
der which we are to-day living, and which
President Roosevelt is helping to ma Ike worse.
