Tanning the Tiger,

A Cossack was recently hired at
Moscow by the French lion-tamer
Pezon to clean the cages of his wild
beasts. Being Ignorant ofthe French
language, understandings were ar
ranged by means Of gestures. The
next morning the Tartar began his
new duties by entering, not the cage,
Of a tame beast, as his master had
done, but hat of an untamed tiger
which lay asleep on the floor. The
fierce animal awoke and fixed its eyes
upon the man, who calmly proceeded
to wet his large sponge and, unterri-
fed, to rub down the tiger. The an
imal, apparently delighted with the
cold water, showed no resistance, but
rolled on its back, and offered every
part Of its body to be washed.
