EASY TO BE A LION rAMER,


 Not long ago a lion tanner who was exhibiting in German circus in Hol- land attracted immense crowds at eve ry performance by doing what seemed to be the most daring of acts in the li- on's cage. He would climb into the cage with great pieces of meat and throw it to the roaring beasts. The mo- ment they had leaped upon 1t he would spring among them and put his foot on it. The animals would growl furiously and then. just as the spectators were all waiting breathlessly, expecting that the beasts would tear him to pieces, they would shrink back cowed. After he had repeated this exciting act for many days, an Englishman made wa ger with him for big sum of money that he would not dare to do 1t after the lions had been starved for three days. The trainer considered for mo- making only the condition that he be allowed to have three weeks of prepa- ration. ...
 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 expi- ration 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 con- tinually and their attempts to break through the bars showed how angry they had become, Tn 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 crouched, roaring and growl- ing so hard that their great frames shook, and each kept his terrific yellow eyes fixed hungrily on the meat. But not one of them stirred.
 The trainer stopped, lifted the beef and tossed it to them again, and in a. moment the lions were in a great taw- ny ball, rending and snarling and tear- ing, with blood from the mangled beef squirting all over the cage. The Eng lshman paid his bet and then tried to find out how the, lion-tamer had ac- quired such wonderful control over his beasts. At first the man would not tell, but at last he consented to explain it.. During the three weeks period of prep aration he had always starved the lions from the very beginning. Then. on the fourth day, he would enter the cage with a piece of beef which had been soaked in kerosene oil. The lions would no sooner bounce upon it than they would shrink away, sickened by the stench. Then he would throw them a fresh and good piece of beef which they would devour in moment. The lions soon became so accustomed to ex- pecting that the first piece of beef that was thrown to them was not good that at the end of the three days they would not even move from their corners when the trainer threw it on the floor of the cage They would not try to eat any, thing except the second piece. So the daring trick had a very simple explana- tion.-Washington Post.

FOUND CHERRY STONE NEAR
 THE APPENDIX.
Curious Result of an Operation Upon
 Lewis J. Wheeler

Curious Result of an Operation Upon
 Lewis J. Wheeler.
 Some time ago Lewis J. Wheeler was operated on by Dr. Adams, of New Haven, assisted by Dr. Roberts, of Shelton, it having become evident that this was the only means of saving Mir Wheeler's life, as he was suffering from a very severe attack of appen- dicitis.
 It was the intention of the operating physicians, of course, to remove the vermiform appendix, but such was it's condition when the operation was per- formed, that 1t was impossible to re- move it, and after thoroughly flushing out the cavity, the wound was left open and suitable drainage maintained.
 While MT. Wheeler rallied we'll from the operation the wound did not re- spond to the treatment as we'll as the physicians could desire, there being a continual suppuration up to few days ago, when as the wound was being dressed by the nurse, small hard ob- ject fell from it and the nurse picking this up, found that 1t was cherry pit or stone.
 From the time this object issued from the wound everything has gone on favorably, and MT. Wheeler seems on the high road to permanent recov- cry.
 This cherry stone was undoubtedly imbedded in the appendix, or else in the cavity beneath, where it's round shape allowed it to roll about, and not be flushed out, remaining as a foreign substance, and causing the continued suppuration. While substances as large as this have been found in the appendix heretofore, they are compar- atively rare, usually being limited to the size of seeds.-Ansonia Sentinel.

He urged loyalty l to the rector, and if anyone was in clined to grumble at her rector, he ad- vised her to pray for him instead. ] The idea of service should be thrill ing thought, and here he emphasized

 ing. Character gives direction to our service, we must set ourselves against all unworthy methods of service and of unworthy ways of raising money for church purposes.
 We should strive for simplicity, char ] itN purity, earnestness and devotion.
