which is given to baking, while il

involves. There can be little doubt
that by this exchange OF method not
a few persons are dictctic sufferers.

TRAINING A LION.
A Daring Performance That Hsa .
Very staple Explanation.

A DARING Performance That Hsa
Very staple Explanation.
Not long ago a lion tanner who was
exhibiting In a German circus In Hol-
land attracted immense crowds at ey-
cry performance by doing what seemed
to be the most daring Of acts in the
lions cage. He would climb into the
cage with great pieces Of meat and
throw 1t to the roaring beasts. The
moment they had leaped upon 1t he
would spring among them and put his
foot on 1t. The animals would growl
furiously, and then, just as the specta-
tors were all waiting breathlessly. ex-
pecting that the beasts would tear him
TO pieces, they would shrink back,
cowed. After he had repeated this ex
citing act for many days an English
man made wager with him for big
sum of money that he would not dare
to do II after the lions had been starved
for three days. The trainer considered
for moment and then accepted the
wager, making only the condition that
he be allowed TO have three weeks of
preparation.
At the end OF three weeks the trainer
announced that he was ready. and the
process of starving the lions began
The Englishman kept guards posted
around the cage day and night TO make
certain that not morsel of food should
be given to the animals. At the expira-
ton of the three days all Amsterdam
rushed to the circus. The lions were
maddened with hunger, as any one
could see and hear, for they roared
continually, and their attempts TO
break through the bars showed how
angry they had become. In the height
of the uproar the trainer entered the
cage with an immense piece of beef In
his arms. He tossed it on the floor of
the cage, raised his whip and. 10. not
one lion dared to approach 1t. The
mighty brutes lay crouehed. roaring
and growing so hard that their great
frames shook. and each kept his ter
rife yellow eyes fixed hungrlly on the
meat But not one OF them stirred.
The trainer stopped. lifted the beef
and tossed 1t to them again. and In y
moment the lions were In great
tawny ball. rending and snarling and
tearing, with blood from the mangled
beef squirting all over the cage. The
Englishman paid his bet and then tried
to find out how the lion tanner had ac-
quired such wonderful control over his
beasts. At first the man would not
tell, but at last he consented to ex.
plain 1t. During the three weeks pc
Rod OF preparation he had always
starved the lions from the very begin.
ming. Then. on the fourth day. be
would enter the cage with a piece Of
beef which had been soaked In kero-
sene oil. The lions would no sooner
pounce upon it than they would shrink
away, sickened by the stencil. Then
he would throw them q fresh and good
piece of beef, which they would devour
In a moment The lions soon became
30 accustomed to expecting that the frs
piece of beef that was thrown TO then
was not good that at the end of three
days they would not even move from
their corners when the trainer threw II
on the door Of the cage. They would
not try to eat anything except the sec
