ART IN DOSING SICK TIGER.
Much Ingenuity Displayed by Keeper
in Sending Medicine to
Proper Spot.

In this particular zoo is very beau
tiful tiger, said TO be the largest one in
captivity. But If he would only move
about as IL he felt at home, and not be
so dignifled, we should be better pleased
with him, says writer in St Nicholas:
yet the poor creature is eXcusable, be-
cause he has dyspepsia, and his suffer
ings make him cross. One day the keep
err decided TO administer dose of medi-
cine, so with the bottle and a whip he
climbed to the top of the cage. Was that
tiger cross? You would have thought so
if YOU had seen him throw back his great
head and snap at the whip The keeper.
after engaging him, poured little medi-
cine down the lash. which he gradually
withdrew, until in its place there was a
tiny medicinal stream. at which the
tiger kept biting sud swapping, too much
surprised it seemed, to distinguish be-
tween whip and liquid When he turned
away his head the medicine was poured
over his paws, and when he had licked
them clean that days treatment was
completed

MOSAlCS GIVE CORN BEAUTY
Kansans in Constructing Pavilion
Have Taught New Art of
Ornamentation.

Kansans have taught a new art in
the construction of their pavilion in
the palace of agriculture at the Lou
isiana Purchase exposition. 1t is the
art of using products of the field as
minerals are employed in mosaics, of
inlaying with cereals just as germs are
used in ornamentatiOn.
The visitor learns that nature has
tinted kernels of corn all the colors of
the rainbow; that the husks can be
woven and plated like dainty fabrics;
that stalks, when polished take on
more luster than does the bamboo
cane when similarly treated. and that
poppy weeds can glisten like agates
The central piece of the Kansas pa
vilion consists OF a platform 80 feet
from the ground, supported on four
square columns. and bearing a steer
six feet tall and IL feet long, made of
corn, so true to life as to give the i'm
preston that the natural hide, hoofs
and horns have been preserved by the
taxidermist's art.
