HOW ANIMALS SLEEP IN zoo

cuddled up in the arms of it's mother, it's little eyes peering out at the midnight visitors
 In the smaller animal house, given up to civit cats, opossums and the like, every animal had curled itself up into the small est possible space. burying the nose under the stomach with all the paws drawn up close to the body.
 The bears were in various positions, some lying at full length, others curled up The two palar bears were huddled in heap, with their noses buried deep in their white fur and forepaws crossed over the eyes. The llamas, zebus and Amer ican buffalo were resting as cows rest, with their forelegs drawn under them and their hind ones drawn In. The porcupine was lying on it's stomach, its head bent to the left, with the quills standing out | in every direction. The emu was resting with the first joints of It's legs on the ground, the body a short distance above and it's head buried in the p1umes.
 Most of the birds were resting on their perohes their legs bent under them and their heads tucked under a wing-in every case the right one. The parrots had only drawn their necks in, while the pelicans slept squatting on the ground their heads drawn well back and their pom derous bills resting on their breasts.

An Up-to-Date Chicago Church.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Religion and art have joined hands in St. Pauls Evangelical church at Beverly Hills W. M. R. French, director of the Art Institute who Is one of the pillars of the new house of worship, has dem- onstrated that aestheticism and religion are not inseparable. The church will house members of twelve denominations.
 When one enters, a vista of beauty greets him. Instead of the usual sombre vestibule, depressing and cold there Is a handsome foyer, fanked on either side with reception rooms, richly decorated and furnished with luxurious lounging chairs. There are no tortuous windings, no bleak, gray walls. In the church proper and the studious cloisters adjoin- ing soft effects everywhere meet the eye. The walls are of mill construction .'' and drop beams in the ceiling break the long expanse.
 Electric lights in wrought iron lanterns give forth no blinding glare. MT. French and the colony of artists who surround him have discarded plain white glass for shades. In it's place Is glass of soft yellow tint, framed in iron of special de- sign.
 Perhaps the most strlkingly original thing in the church is the arrangement of the pews. The seats are low, with reclining backs. They are richly cush- toned in mahogany red. One of the chief notices of the congregation is; Tn Es- sentials, Unity; In Nonessentials. Lib- erty; In All Things, Charity"

From the New York World.
 A writer in Forest and Stream who re- lceived permission to visit the Central }park zoo late at night to note the dif- Terent positions in which animals and birds rest, observed some curious things
 In the llon-house the lioness was lying bn her left side at full length, while the lion, couchant rested his head on his crossed forepaws, his hind legs being half drawn under him and the tail curled in toward the body.
 The pumas, tigers and leopards were in nearly every case lying on the right side. The hyenas rested with their hind legs drawn under them, the forelegs stretched out, with heads slightly bent to the right Near by the two-horned rhinoceros was lying at full length on his left side, gently sndfing. The hippopotami showed only their heads and backs above the water.
 No longer looking for peanuts, the elephants lay stretched out on the floor. their huge legs lying out at full length and the trunk curved under the body. They were all resting on the right side. In the deer-house the deer had all crouched low, with forelegs bent under them and the hind ones drawn up while the head was turned to the right and rested on the body.
 The oryx, with it's long horns, was rest ing with It's head away from the body, the horns making an arch over the shoul- ders. The alpaca looked like large ball of black wool. The camels lay on their stomachs with their legs bent under them, their heads stretched straight out. The monkeys were squatting about their heads bowed over their chests their arms rest ing on the thighs. A baby monkey was

 The policemen who have been detailed at the circus are completely carried away with it, and are talking circus talk like Wheeler. Cole, Robinson and other ex- perts. When the trained hogs came out yesterday afternoon Policeman Fossee said
 "They are the smartest things in all the world those hogs. They nose it all" saying which Fossee borrowed a peanut from one of the sideshow men,
 The mechanism for the circus is su- pervised by Fred Fisher who regulates the time of the different acts and tele- phones the bandmaster when to change the music by blowing on a street car whistle. Each act. says Mir. Fisher, con sumes from five to eight minutes.
 The Boss of the Clowns.
 The clowns are in charge of Horace Webb who is the most serious man in the world when outside of the canvas Two English dancers imported for the show are the Bartlett Sisters. who were with Klralfy and Barnum.
 The youngest performer in the circus is little Lillie Kingston, who is Just four years old. She makes a living at a time when other girls of her age are prepar- ing for their debut in the school room. She Is a skilled acrobat.
 Probably the best all-around athlete with the show is Jimmie Dutton, whose principal feat Ia to ride eight horses, but he can do anything required of men In the three rings, and as a rope bounder holds the worlds record. His mother, Mrs. Dutton, Is an old-time circus rider, who has toured the world and is the principal woman rider with the show She shares honors with Rose Holland, wife of George Holland, also one of the riders Another rider, William Demot, made hit in Paris when with the Bar nun show.

From the Louisville Herald.
 From the ballet in the circus at si0 a week to bareback rider at s75 a week is the way that Winnie Van. one of the youngest riders in. the show. has walked up the ladder of promotion with Robin sons circus. Miss Van is a wee mite of humanity. but the biggest. the most un- trained and the most uncomfortable horse in the show does not scare her. She is said to be the only woman in the world who can turn somersaults on horseback.
 In no other place is talent so quickly recognized and rewarded as in circus. Many girls start in the ballet and grad uate in the ring. Geneva Morgan, the nineteen-year-old Illinois girl, who start ed in the ballet and became $50 a week performer, is another example of rapid promotion.
 About fifty women and girls are used in the ballet spectaeles. Most or them are from Ohio, and in years they range from fourteen up. Two of the littlest girls are Irene and Gertrude Schroeder. who come from Dayton.
 Performers From Ohio.
 Almost every town in Ohio is repre- sented as a birthplace of the ballet per- formers. and the arena reeks as much with talk of the Buckeye state as does Washington. where a majority of the office holders are from the state of Mark Hanna. Not all of the ballet girls are good looking, but some have a monopoly on dainty mouths, fascinating eyes and beautiful hair. As for rosy checks every girl in the ballet possesses them, because the work is healthy, the out-of-door life brings health, and the late suppers and cold bottles and hot birds of theatrical chorus girls are missing.
 T worked in factory In Cincinnati," said Fannie Burehill, one of the prettiest ballet girls, and I deserted that life for the circus, which grows more fascinating every day. It is hard work, but every minute of the life Is enjoyable. After the show closed last year 1 went back to the factory during the winter, and l could see the difference. It is an old saying that circus girls leave each fall saying they Will never return, but at the first sniff Of the sawdust, the dawn of the summer, the desire to return implants their breasts, and the canvas Is no sooner raised than they are back with the aggre- gation.

Animals stomachs' Rest Day.

The elephants had great feast yester- day, while the lions and tigers, partners, and leopards remained unfed.
 Members of the cat family are not fed on Sunday" said Rafferty, head keeper in the menagerie. They always know when Sunday comes around, because that Is the day when they get no meat We figure that their stomachs should rest on that day"
 Rafferty has been with circuses since 1882. He began life as a waiter in the cook camp, and has been with all the big shows, including Barnum & Bailey and Ringing Brothers. Twenty-six men help him keep the menagerle up to the proper standard

Ballet Girls Must Not Fllrt.


 The standard of morality among circus girls is very high. MT. Robinson will al- low no flirting, and we are prohibited While with the show from making ac- quaintances with men in the different towns we travel through The No fiirt- ing slogan is closely observed because a violation means dismissal.'
 That is true" said Bessie Hamilton Marguerite Elrick and Jessie Lang. who were present. We have no use for the Johnnies. The circus girls are good grls.' This is Miss Bricks first year with the circus. Her home is in Hamilton, o. Fif- teen of the ballet girls are trained buglers, and take part in the opening parade.
 The girls of the circus think of nothing but their work" said Punch" Wheeler looking at a crowd of the ballet maidens with paternal glance. "In the morning they are in the parade, in the afternoon and night in the ballet, at 10 o'clock they are in bed''
