 You see, it was this way once a week il is the custom to feed all the animals that are Negetarians mess cf ground white turnips. cause it opens up the pores, and makes the animals feel good. like a politician who goes to French Lick springs. and las the whisky boiled out of him. Aft CT the animals have eaten the turnip hush. they become agreeable. and will rub against the keepers, and eat cut of your hand.
 1 had been with pa a dozen times to find place where we could get few barrels of turnips ground up fine, and so yesterday. when the boss ani maj keeper was sick and turned his job over to pa pa told me to go out in town, at Lynehburg, Va. and get I couple of washtubs full of ground turnips and have the stuff sent in to the menagerie tent in time for the afternoon performance. 1 got a boy to % with me. We hunted all the groceries, and couldn't find turnlps enough to make a first payment, but

had just begun to come in fell back h terror.
 There was quite a crowd around the Camels watching hem peacefully chew their euds, as they do al evening cn the desert. and the Arabs who had charge of the camels were standing around. posing as though they were the whole thing, when the old black. doubie-hump camel got his quart of horse eradish down into one of his stom- aehs. as he was kneeling down on all fours. He yelled: 70. mamma and got up on all his feet, and kicked an Arab off prayer rug and beloved and groaned. Then the rest of the herd of camels seemed 10 have swal- lowed their dose, and they made Rome howl. This scared the people over to where the sacred cattle were trying to set pious example to the rest of the animals by their meek and lowly con- duet.
 The sacred COW got her horseradish first. and l could see she was trying to hold il without giving the snap away. till her husband, the bull, got his We'll it was pitiful. and 1 made up my mind 1 would never play a joke on the sacred cattle again. cause it seems like sacrilege.

 Well, We took a spud and put about quart of horseradish in each pan, and put the pans in front of each animal, and you ought to have seen them rush for the supposed turnips, like drove ef eatt after salt
 The boy and l got up on the plat form with the freaks, to be in a safe place. and watch the animals. and see how they digested their food The first animal to open up the chorus was the hippopotamus, cause we gave him about four quarts of horse radish, on account of the size of his mouth. and he swallowed it at one mouthful. First he looked as though he felt hurt, and stopped chewing. and seemed to be thinking. like a horse that wakes up i'll the night with collie. and raises the whole family to sit up with him all night and pour things down his neck out of a long-neck bottle. The hippo held his breath for about a minute, and then he opened his mouth so you could drive a wagon in. and gave the grand hailing sign of distress, and said: Wow, WOW. WOW" as plain as man could. Then he rolled over into his tank and yelled murder" and wal lowed around, and stood on his head, till one of the keepers went in the cage to try to soothe him. He chased the keeper out, and the crowd that

 The boy and I played all the fore noon, and when the man started with the ground horseradish for the tent, we went along. and introduced the man to pa, and pa o. K d the bill, and sent him to the treasurer after the money. l was going to get on a back seat and watch the animals eat, but pa said: Here, you boys, get out those pans and portion out the tur- nips and pass em around just as the crowd comes in, cause after the ami mals have had a mess of cut feed they are better natured, and show off better.
 was pretty leary about feeding the animals horse radish, and would have preferred to have some one else do it, who did not care to live any longer but I said: Yes, sir,n just like that, and touched my hat to pa. and he said to the boss canvasman "There's a boy you can swear by"

He swelled up, and then beloved until the COW looked as though she would sink through the ground, saying: "EX- euse me, dear, but l am not to blame, because I, too have hot box" The bull acted just as human as could be. cause he looked mad at her and was going to gore her to death, when pa and some of the hands came up and at him, and he quit fighting his wife, just like a man Pa wanted to know what in thunder was the matter with the animals, and wanted to know if 1 had fed them the turnips, and told him they had all been fed, and just then the giraffe, whose neck was so long the horseradish did not reach vital spot as quick as it did with the hippo, began to yell for the po- lice and dance around. Finally he stood on his head and neck, with his heels against a cage, and coughed like he had caught pneumonia. Pa saiG to the boss canvasman: Well, what do you think of that2"

 The educated hog got double dose. and he squealed and couldn't pick out the right card, and then the llamas got busy on their portion of horse radish, and they cried in Spanish, and stood on their hind legs and shed tears. Pa got so rattled he looked ten years older than he did when the afternoon performance opened. Tho manager of the big show came in to know why the elephants had not been sent into the dressing room, to be got ready for the grand entree. Just then the elephants began to eat their horse radishs and when they were driven into the big tent they were complain ing about something being wrong in- side of them, and as they came by the lemonade stand they seemed to be yelling Fire" Then they all stopped at the stand and began to drink the lemonade out of the barrels, which seemed to put out the fire.
 The animals quieted down little, and pa went into the big tent to consult the manager, and I thought it was shame that the lions and hyenas and tigers couldn't have any fun, so l went to the table where the meat was laid out ready to feed them and cut a hole in each piece of meat and put in q double handful of horseradish, and just then the feeder came along and began to throw the meat in the cages. Gee, but those earnivorous ami mals are bad enough. even if you give them nice boiled sirloin steak. and they fight enough over it, at any time. but when they began to chew and tear the meat and get horseradish hot from the grddle, they didn't do thing. The audience thought the animals would kill everybody. The big lion got his meat down, but it didn't set well, and he turned a somersault, and snarled and pulled the bars of the cage, while the grizzly bear rolled up
 
 till the men had to hold on to the wheels to keep the shebang from go- ing over. The hyenas, who are al ways mad, went on tear that could be heard in all the tents.
 Pa and the managers came back into the menagerie tent with the animal keeper. who had been sent for, and they began to try to find out what ailed the animals and the animal keeper asked what pa had been feed ing them. and pa said he had given them their ground turnips.
 .'Turnips, indeed" said the keeper. as he took up some of the turnlp and tasted of it, and he handed hand4 ful to pa Pa tasted of it. and pa had hot box and the managers tasted of 1t, and they said No wonder. Then they asked pa where he got it, and pa said he sent me to order it. and then they all said: That set ties il.
 thought I would go way and jump in the river, but pa said: "Hennery, come here, my angel" and he spit on his hands and picked up barrel .stave. l went right up to pa. as innocent as could be, just as any dutiful son should, and right there before the ani- mals and freaks pa-well, that's the reason I am not sitting down very much these days So long.

LOST ARTS AND DEVICES.
Many Have Been Abandoned Because New Knowledge Supplants
 Them.

Not as much as we used to, but oc. easionally. even yet, one hears of some wonder accomplished by the ancients which cannot be done now, says the Scientific American.
 Not so many years ago it was quite commonly asserted that modern work men could not quarry or, having quar- riei. could not handle stones as large as the monoliths of Egypt, and tina writer has heard a public speaker or note assert that it would be impossi- ble to handle with modern implements such large stones as were used in the pyramids, or to join them as perfectly as they are joined there. yet, when oc- easion arose, larger stones than any or these were quarred in Maine, and some of the larger monoliths them selves were transported, not only to the sea. but across it, and erected in England, France and America, and there are individuals to-day who might if they chose, cause the erection in this country of the largest pyramids, or build new ones ten times larger and more durable. Pyramids are not being generally built nowadays, be cause they are not In line with the trend of modern ambition, that's all
 It is very doubtful if "Damascus blade" would stand half as severe usage as a modern band saw blade, or even as much as the spring of 40- cent clock; while the ornamentation of those wonderful blades, so far as the mechanical execution is concerned, can be excelled by apprentices and anna teurs of to-day.
 Of the Host art" of hardening coz. Ter little is heard of late years though one occasionally hears wiseling from the wiids wish that he knew how to do it as well as the an clents, and, while it is perhaps re- grettable that he doesn't. his ignor- anee is his own fault.
 Many arts and devices have been abandoned because new knowledge has made them useless. and tims spent in rediscovering them would be worse than wasted. The modern youth had much better spend his time studying the art of his contemporaries than that which is lost"
