Dancing for Children.

1t is never a good idea to send a
child to the dancing class so distract

mind on the instructions of her teach

pique dress she might wear, is best.

the most satisfactory, says the PhiIa-

the high shoes, with, however, very
low heels, are the best.

THE TANNING OF A TIGER.
How Clever Snowman Got the Best OF
Ferocious Man-Eater.

How Clever Snowman Got the Best of
Ferocious Man-Eater.
1.-The trainers of wild beasts" said
John Lover of the Zoo, sometimes
show a good deal of originality in de-
vising means to subdue intractab1e
animals. For instance, there was a
Snowman I used to know named Mel
chior. He once bought for a song
a magnificent Bengal tiger, getting
it SO cheap because it had already
killed two men. This tiger had a fe-
rocious nature. Melchior at nrst would
put his foot or his hand into the cage,
but from the way it would leap at
him he knew that to put himself en-
tirely in its power would be suicide
Nothing he could do would establish
a friendly relation between himself
and the tiger Some originality was
needed, and Melchior showed it by
taking some old clothes, stufing them
with rags and throwing them in the
cage. The tiger in a jiffy tore the
old clothes to pieces, thinking them
a human being. Next day, and the
next day, and the next, Melchior con-
tinued to throw in to the tiger stuffed
figures, and the tiger continued to
destroy them; only, as time passed,
the animal ceased to put heat into
its work, and in the end, to make a
long story short, it gave up altogether
these attacks on the scarecrows-it
would just play with them or else not
notice them at all. Now was Melchior's
time. He opend the cage door one
morning, walked in boldly and
slapped the tiger Familiarity on the
back. 1t gave him a friendly look
and purred. 1t took him, you see, for
another mannikin. 1t lived seven years
with Melchior and finally died of heart
trouble, and through all those seven
years it was as gentle as a kitten. A
child could have handled it."-Phi1a-

Fred, 1 'spose-'t'as the South Africa

ing letter to the rosy checked maid
en- waiting for him at the gate in the
break of the hedge.
Blushing, Mary took it and fastened
to the rosebower in the corner of the
garden where she had spent the last
blissful hour with Fred before his de-
parture for the front. To her it
seemed a fit place to read his letters.
She read and re-read this particular
letter. Then with bounding step and
happy heart she ran into the cottage
and threw it into her mothers lap

While her mother was reading the
letter, some of Mary's girl friends
came in.

Only too anxious, Mary took the let
ter from her mother.
I'm only going to read the news
to you, girls she said, excitedly;
but that's enough. Freds a real
hero. He's saved a whole battalion.
Here's what he says:
Il expect you have read about it
in the papers by this time. But there.
you don't know yet. Our battalion
was ordered to take a strong position
held by the Beers, from which they
have been sneaking out and doing a
lot of mischief lately, blowing up
trains and cutting off transports. We
started out bright and early without
transportation, and with only three

march, and marched all night, in or
der to surprise the enemy at dawn
We had to cross river to get to
them. That river came near being
the slaughter-house for the whole bat
talion-it was for quite number. The
road to the ford ran through a deep
gorge which opened into a narrow val
ley, walled in by steep hills, and
through which flowed the river. We
cleared the gorge and our vanguard
was already halfway across the riv-
er, when the enemy opened fire on us
from the hills on the opposite side.
Somehow they had heard of our in
tended attack. We were completely
surprised and at their mercy We
were in the open and unprotected.

all was confusion. Our colonel.

But it was no use. There was moth

And so it came about that one of
the foremost weekly papers of London
published an account of the heroism
of Fred NARROW.
Col. ST. Quentin sat in the corfu
gated iron shanty which served for
his headquarters. He had just been
receiving reports from the block

He was wishing something would turn

alton and dispe1 the ennui that had

copy of the Weekly News, indicating
with his finger the part he desired the

In fact, the entire West has largely
borrowed, and is still rapidly appro-
priating the brains and culture of the
East and leaving it barren. Out of the
entire number of eminent living men
west of the Mississippi, and including
Illinois, in number 1884, only 1,511
were born in that territory. The re-
mainder counting out a few foreign
born names, amounting to lab, came
from the East. Reasoned from either
direction, the result is nearly the
same, therefore, and it means that
brains are migrating to the West.
How long will it be before Massa-
chusetts, seeking a really first-class
college for the sons of her effete
sires, will be sending them to Idaho;
before the educated foreigner, having
tarried duly in New York, will only
strike the next seat of culture on the
plains of Kansas?-New York World.
