TRAINING A LION.
A Daring Performance That Had n
Very Simple Explanation.

A Daring Performance That Had q
Very simple Explanation.
Not long ago a lion tanner who was
exhibiting in German circus in Hol-
land attracted immense crowds at ev-
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 o. meat and
throw 1t to the roaring beasts. The
moment they had leaped upon it he
would spring among them and put his
foot on it. The animals would growl
furiously, and then, just as the specta-
tors We're all waiting breathlessly, ex-
pecting that the beasts would tear him
to pieces, they would shrink back,
cowed. after be 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 it 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 fosd should
be given to the animals. At the eXpira-
ton of the three days all Amsterdam
rushed to the &Ecus. The lions were
maddened with hunger, as any one
could see and hear, for they roared
continually, and their attempts to
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 1t on the floor of
the cage, raised his whip and, 10, not
one lion dared to approach it. The
mighty brutes lay crouched, 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.

and tossed it to them again, and In a
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 it. During the three weeks pc
riod of preparation he had always
starved the lions from the very begin
ming. Then, on the fourth day, he
would enter the cage with 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 fresh and good
piece of beef, which they would devour
in moment The lions soon became
so accustomed to expecting that the first
piece of beef that was thrown to them
was not good that at the end of 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 anything except the sec
ond piece. So the daring trick had
very simple expla Washington

THE PERFECT LIVER MEDICINE.

Mrs. NJ. A. Jolley, Noble, O. T.,
writes: II have used Herbine for num-
her of years, and can cheerfully recon-

Malaria cannot find lodgment in the

The Sailors, Psalm.

How, many people-landsmen, at all
events-are aware that one Of the
Psalms is often called the sailors
psalm? 1t is of course Psalm evil,
wherein occur the beautiful and famll-
lar words, "They that go down to the
sea in ships, that do business in great
waters-these see the works of the
Lord and his wonders in the deep"
The psalm is usually read as part of
the simple services which take place
on Sundays on ships at sea. For that
reason it is known as the sailors
psalm.-London Chronicle.
