The new pink is reproduced in kid;

STRUGGLE WITH A LION.
Terrible Experience OF an Athlets
with n Feroeious Beast
in Paris.

Paris.-An athlete named Rey, con
neeted with an animal show. had 4 mar
row escape from death the other day.
He was engaged in putting the wrest-
ling lion. Brutus. through his daily
practice. when the brute UNEXPECTEDLY
fastened its teeth in his jacket The
trainer stopped wrestling and tried 10

the jacket and leaving il IN the lions

But he was unable 10 do this. and
Brutus without becoming actually saw
age. warmed TO the encounter. and be-
gan to tear the trainer about the shout
ders and sides Although bleeding
freely from so wounds. Rey, who is
powerful. athletic young fellow. kept his
head, and. realizing that he was al the
mercy OF the brute if he fell. kept him
on as best he could BY this time the
proprietor and his assistants had gath
cred around the cage trying 20 rescue
the trainer. aud watched with appre-
hensiou the realistic combat between
the man and the lion. The wrestling
bout. which had commenced in the usu-
al playful manner now developed into
grim contest, in which one OF the COM
batanas was fighting for his life. and
for fully two minutes his fate seemed 10
be sealed. Rey kept up the unequal
contest. but further difficulty in the
way OF his rescue was the fact that in a
cage communicating with that OF Brutus
a companion lion was making a desper-
ate effort 10 force an entry through

at the right on %.
After cutting the rabbet the entire
length in this way. smooth out the chips
with wider chisel. and finish, as shown
on the right end of c. and also in the
greatly enlarged rail b. Now trim down
the lemons on the inside edge to 39s
inches. and the frame is ready TO be
glueo together.
Glue.
Hot glue is the best for all purposes
for which glue is used. because il dries
more quickly. and also makes a stronger
joint For our present purpose any good
cold glue, such as La Pages. will answer
but the frame must remain in the
clamps much longer-at least ~ hours
while hot glue would set and dry in
three TO four hours.
Clamps.
For those who have not provided
themselves with two or more carpenter
clamps. such as shown at a in Fig 81
wooden wedge clamps must be made.
and two will be needed for gluing up this
frame. The wedge clamp consists of a
bar of wood 80 inches or more in length.
4 inches wide and seven-eighths inch to
Ia inches in hickness-depending on
its length. On one end of this bar a
block six inches long and OF the same
width and thickness as the bar, is glued

no rabbet should be cut in the frame
for the glass. instead the rabbet is
formed on the back OF the frame by four
strips of wood These strips should be
one and one-fourth inches wide and
about three-eighths OF an inch in thick
