strange Animal Friendship.

Pathetic instances are told of strange
friendships between animals in cap
tivity. A curious incident occurred in
New Orleans some years ago, when q
bear was lowered into the cage of an
old African lion. The keepers sup
posed it would be torn to pieces, and
many people assembled to see the bar
barous exhibition. The bear at once
assumed the offensive and rushed at
the lion, but. to the amaZement of the
onlookerS, the lion. hitherto regarded
as extremely savage and dangerous,
placed his paw upon the bears head as
if to express his pity and tried to make
friends with him.
Taking the bear under his protection,
the lion suffered no one to approach
the cage and did not sleep until he was
exhausted. so closely did he watch over
his new friend. He even allowed him
to share his food.
The two animals would lie down side
by side. the lion usually with pro-
tective paw over the bear. His delight
in companionship was manifested I'M
mistakaby, and his captors were hui
name enough to let the two share the
same cage.-kansas City Independent.

BETTER THAN PILLS.
The Gymnasium Has Cured Many a
Case of Dyspepsia.

The Gymnasium Has Cured Many a
Case of Dyspepsia.
William H. Evarts used to boast that
he had never even looked into gym
nasium, which was his way of saying
that in his opinion gymnastics We're all
nonsense. People say to me, Mr..
Evarts, you're hale and hearty when
you ought to be thinking of your
grave and they wonder how do it,
OF course the secret of the haleness
moderation, says the New York News.
No man who goes to bed on supper
of mince pie and Welsh rabbit and
wakes up for a breakfast of sausage
and buckwheat cakes and then spends
most of the day twisting from one side
of desk to the other can long avoid
the prescription of hot water thrice a
day before meals. Temperance" is
one of the words that are ridiculed I'M
til they impress themselves upon giddy
humanity with the effect of branding
iron.
Some happy mortals like Mr.. Evarts
have no use for Il gymnasium, for they
find gymnastic apparatus everywhere.
The street is their half mile track; the
two flights of steps-or maybe ten
tlights-are the lung developers; the
free and vigorous swing of the arms
and the throwing out of the chest are
as good as parallel bars.
There are men somewhat intemper-
ate in their temperance, displaying too
much of the good thing. They crack
your knuckles when they take you by
the hand; they pound you on the back,
as if tiShbOne We're stuck in your
throat, and say, Brace up, old man;
you'll be round shouldered if you don't
take care
But there is this to be said in favor
of the gymnasium-it has cured many
a case of dyspepsia and to that extent
has made the world sweeter.

po,yaerinr the Hair,

In 1895 the mayor Of Yarmouth,
England. issued the following procla-
nation: lowing to the present enor-
nous price of corn and the alarming
apprehension of scarcity in that most
necessary article, many towns through
out the kingdom have set the laudable
example of leaving off for time the
custom of wearing powder in their
hair. by which means great quantity
of wheat must infallibly be saved to
the nation, and if the price be not re-
duced it may at least be prevented
from increasing. We, therefore, the
mayor, justices and principal inhab-
itants of Great Yarmouth, do recon-
mend the example as worthy imitation,
and we fatter ourselves the military
will not hesitate to adopt 1t, being
fully convinced that appearances are
at all times to be sacrificed to the pub
lie veal. and that in doing this they
will really do good"
