THE FIRST PRINTING.

some of the Earliest Examples of the
Art Preventative.
The following are the earliest known
examples of printtng-two indulgences,
printed usually on one side only of a
single piece Of vellum and two magnif-
icent Bibles. OF these one is known to
be the first complete book that ever
was printed by the wonderful new In
vention, which, as the early printers 80
often proudly state in their colophons,
produced 'letters without the aid Of
any sort of pen, whether of quill, Of
reed or of metal"
The first piece of printing which Is
actually dated is the famous indul-
gence of Nicholas V. to such as should
contribute money to aid the king Of
Cyprus against the Turks. This indul-
gence has the printed year date 1854,
and copy in The Hague museum has
the date NOV 15'' filed in with a pen.
Mr.. Dun tells US that ''in the years
1454 and 1855 there. was a large de-
mand for these indulgences, and seven
editions were issued. These may be
divided into two sets, the one contain
ing thirty-one lines, the other thirty
lines, the first dated example belong
ing to the former"
This thirty line edition is shown to
have been printed by Peter Schoeffer
de Gernsheim by the fact that some Of
the initial letters which occur in it ap-
pear in another later indulgence of
1889, which is known to have come
from his press.-Saturday Review.

ANIMAL ANTIPATHIES.
The Fear Horses Have of Camels ana
| Cattle of Dogs.

The Fear Horses Have of CameIs and
Cattle of Dogs.
I'm some towns they won't let us
show" said the circus animal trainer,
unless we have no camels with us.
Camels are a serious drawback to
shows. Horses are SO much afraid of
them that lots of towns won't let a
camel enter their gates.
"a horse won't go near a piece Of
ground a camel has stood on. The
very smell of a camel in the air will
make horse tremble and sweat, and
this fear isn't only found occasionally
In horse here and there 1t is found
In every horse all over the world
Queer, isn't it? 1 often wonder why it
is. Cattle hate dogs in the same way,
and cats hate dogs SO too. Here,
though, we can account for the hatred.
Dogs in primitive times fed on cattle,
no doubt, and even today here and
there they kill and feed on kittens.
Horses love dogs. I'm sure 1 don't
know why. Dogs fear no animals but
pumas and leopards. You can take a
dog up to lions or tigers cage and
he will show no fear, but take him up
to the cage Of puma or leopard and
he will tremble and moan and stink
away out of sight

called the pole star the Home STAR

TWO GREAT LEADERS.
DtsraeM and Gladstone and Their
Enmity Toward Each other.

DfsraeH and Gladstone and Their
Enmity Toward Each other.
Disraeli wit was too much for Glad
stone. The great Liberal had but one
adjective for his Tory opponent, and
that was "devilish." Never during the
years of their opposing leadership had
the two any social relations. Each
made light of the others literary eff
forts. Some one asked Lord Beacons-
field to define the difference between
a misfortune and a calamity, and I'M
hesitatingly it came. "If Mr.. Gladstone
should fall into the Thames, 1t would
be a misfortune. If any one should
pull him out, it would be calamity"
The best Of all the Gladstone Disraeli
stories tells how once at a London din
ner party the ladies at the table were
asked which they would marry if they
had to marry one or the other, the
great Liberal or the great Tory. All
declared promptly In favor Of Beacons-
field save one, who FASTENED to explain
that she had rather wed Gladstone that
she might elope with Disraeli and so
break her husbands heart. This hap
pening was of course retold to Disraeli.
and so pleased was he over 1t that he
suspended a cabinet debate on the
chances Of continental war in order
to relate it.-Warwick James Price in
Criterion.

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Pet Alligator.


1t seems that if you only begin early
enough it is possible to tame even the
fercest Of animals. A baby alligator
caught in swamp was taken to the
home of its captor In New York, and in
course Of time it would follow him
about like dog. What was even more
curious was that it and the cat became
great chums. When pussy slept before
the fire the alligator used to lay its
head on the cat and go to sleep too
The only creature that excited the ALI
gator was a fox chained in yard. 1t
did not try to bite the fox, but dashed
IT with its tail. Once had the chain not
broken poor Reynard would have been
beaten to death. The alligator was fed
on raw flesh and milk, of which it was
very fond When the weather was cold
it was kept in a box with wool in 1t.
One frosty night the wool had been
forgotten, and next morning the alli-
gator was dead.
