When a Lioness Goes Bad.

When the Tiger Princess was going
TO give up one of her old performers
because he was getting sulky and peeV-
ish. Sterrett looked over the troupe ana
said:
"That one Is all right, but the one
over In the corner will bear Watch-
ing"
"Why, the ma7 talks like fool" said
the Princess. That's Zulka. Shes
the best actor I've got.
Sterrct laughed. Train an under
study" he advised. "Pll give Zulka
three weeks to retire from the stage.
She's going bad"
Zulka was very beautiful young
lioness: one of the best trick beasts
I've ever known and one Of the few
that seemed to have genuine affection
for the trainer AS a rule the fellnes
don't exhibit the softer emotions. They
feel for men either Indifference or dis
taste. But this lioness used to snow
signs of pleasure when her mistress en-
tered the cage. and I've seen her put
her muzZle up against the bars to faWn
on the queen. Two weeks after Ster-
rett's advice, to which we paid little
heed (that was when I knew less about
him than l subsequently learned), l
saw the lioness caressing the woman
at the close of the performance. AS the
Tiger Princess entered the cage the
next day there was a snarl and a
scream and she was down. Zulka had
her. Fortunately some Of US were near.
We beat the animals off-of course,
some of the other beasts had to pitch
in. seeing their tyrant down-and got
the woman out with no worse injury
than a broken arm and a badly clawed
back-McClure's Magazine.

COTTON ROOT BARK.
II Is SaIable II Properly Prepared in
Good Condition.

II Is salable II Properly Prepared in
Good Condition.
To the Editor of the News and
Courier: The large manufacturing
drug houses are again in the market
for cotton root bark.
At present prices Of farm labor and
the known value of such labor in
planting. fall sown crops, no cotton
grower can afford to gitther cotton
root bark for less than ten cents per
pound, delivered at the nearest rail-
road station. II growers will stand
firm and refuse to gather or sell for
less than ten cents, they can secure
that price.
The method of preparing cotton
root bark for market is as follows:
1. Only the bark Of the root below
ground is wanted. This may be COL
lected at any time after the lint is
gathered until early spring or until
such time as the bark when peeled
shows black streaks on inner side.
9. Cotton root bark must be strip
ped from the woody core while fresh.
The fresh bark peels very easily and
should be removed as whole as possi-
BILE. Before peeling wash the roots
free from sand and clay. Dry the
peeled bark under a shed or other
water-tight cover. Turn the bark ev-
cry day until as dry as hay. Drying
takes about a week.
8. The dry bark may be packed In
clean sacks, barrels or boxes. Drug
gists will not buy less than one hun
dred pounds. Most Of the larger
manufacturing druggists will buy
good bark in lots of one ton or more.
4. To secure sale for good root
bark growers should first collect a
small lot of three or four pounds or
so and dry it carefully. Then mail
samples Of about four ounces to each
of the houses named below, stating
how much bark can be supplied.
5. We advise that the bark be sold
{. O. b. at nearest depot, and that no
offer of less than 10 cents per pound
be accepted. If no satisfactory offer
Is received from samples sent. do not
collect more bark.

warded to you with care and speed"
Mildred tore open the letter, and ca
gerly perused its contents. They con-
sisted of few lines hastily penned by
Butler, at early dawn, as he was about
mounting his horse for the prosecution
Of his journey. Their purpose was to
apprise her of the discovery Robinson
had made Of the true character Of Cur
ry, and also to express his fears that
this latter person might disclose to
Tyrrel the fact of his, Buffers visit
He cautioned her to observe the con-
duct Of Tyrrel, and to communicate
with him at Gates's headquarters
where he expected to be delayed few
days on his journey; her letter, he
said, might be forwarded by some Of the
parties who at that time were contin-
ually passing southwark; Henry might
look to this; and he concluded by as
suring her that he would write as often
as he might find means Of conveying a
packet to the care Of good Mistress
terest of the lovers to keep faithfully
any secret which they might confide
to her.
This letter served to explain the
cause Of Tyrrel's sudden departure, and
to confirm Mildred in the opinion,
which she had before expressed, that
this guest Of her father was not ignor-
ant of the interest Butler had in her
regard. Her determination therefore
was to watch his motions narrowly and
70 make her lover acquainted with
whatever she might discover.
1T Is even So" she said musing:
"Tyrrel eithers fears or hates Arthur.
shudder to think that that man
should have any motive supplied him
to contrive against the peace or safety
Of one 80 dear to me. Wretch" she ex-
claimed, that he should be insolent
enough to hope for my regard! Oh!
my father, my father, what a snare
has been spread for you by this man!
Thank you, brother" she continued,
addressing Henry. you have we'll ex-
ecuted your mission. Be discreet and
ready: 1 shall have much need Of your
head and hand both; your heart is
mine already, good brother"
II will ride for you, sister," said
Menry Il will run for you, speak for
you pray for you-if my prayers be
worth anything-and strike for you, If
need be- II am but turned Of sixteen,
I am a man, 1 trow: and that's more
than you are. Good bye! a soldier
ought to look after his horse, you
k-ow."
God bless you, dear brother, for an
xcel!ent boy" said Mildred smiling,
IMAM I mean-aye and brave one"
Henry now walked away, and Mil
dred betook herself to other cares.

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT
Why Its Houses Were Built Upon the
River Bank.

Wellington once declared that the
most exciting moment Of his life was
not in any Of his great battles, but that
in which he had to avoid William ~.
to attend a public banquet In the city
during a time Of great national excite
ment. OF the millions Of people who
every year see the English houses Of
parliament, how many imagine that
their position was determined by stra-
tegic consideration? No one nowadays
can think Of the palace Of Westminster
In any other position than that which
1t occupies. But when the old houses
were burned down and the task Of re-
building faced there was a proposition
to establish them on or near the site Of
st. James palace. wellington resolute-
ly put down his foot on the proposal.
The site suggested, its advocates
pointed out, would be better as regards
centrality and convenience than any
other. But to the argument Of the
duke there could then be no answer.
with a vast and growing population,
such as yours in London" he said,
you must never make 1t possible that
you can be surrounded. You must
build your houses of parliament upon
the river, so that the means Of ingress
and egress are safe and that the popu-
lace cannot exact their demands by
sitting down around you" Sir William
Fraser, in whose memories the story is
recalled, mentioned It to Napoleon III.
just before the death of the latter.
What wisdom!" he said. What wis
dom!" And 1t set him musing upon the
different turn which the history Of
France might have taken II In other
ways as great precautions had been
observed in his own case.-St. James

By JOHN p. KENNEDY.

fondness for the retirement he had
already cultivated, that he had aban-
doned 1t almost as soon as it occurred
to him. His next alternative was to
favor-though he did so with no great
zeal-the proposal made by Tyrrel. He
little knew the character OF the woman
he had to deal with. Never was more
devotion enshrined in a woman's heart
than in Mildred's. Never was more
fixed and steady purpose to encounter
all hazards and hold cheap all dangers
more deeply rooted In mans or wo-
mans resolution, than was Mildred's
to cherish the love and follow the for
tunes of Arthur Butler.
This conflict between love and filial
duty sadly perplexed the daughters
peace: and not less disturbing was the
strife between parental affection and
the supposed mandate Of fate, in the
breast Of the father.
Henry protested his sorrow for his
recent indiscretion and promised more
caution for the future, and then re-
curing to what more Immediately
concerned his sisters interest. he said,
"I do much wonder what Tyrreps man
had to say this morning; it took our
good gentleman away so suddenly /
can't help thinking 1t has something
to do with Butler and Horse Shoe.
They must have been seen by Curry at
HnnwQ
the major very WELL and has told his
name. Besides do you know, sister, 1
think Curry is spy. Else why should
he be left at Mrs. Dimock's always?
There was room enough here for both
Of Mr.. Tyrrers servants. I have a
thought that 1 will reconnoitre; I will
ride over to the Blue Bail, and see
what I can learn"
do, my good brother" replied Mil
dred, "and in the meantime 1 must go
to my father, who has something dis
agreeable to tell me-so I fear-con-
cerning that busy plotter who has just
left us. My spirits grow heavy at the
thought Of it. All, Henry, If I could
but speak out, and unpack my heart
what a load I would throw off! How
does 1t grieve me to have a secret that
dare not tell my dear father! Thank
heaven. brother. your heart and mine
have not yet had a secret that they
could not whisper to each other!"
"Give care the whip, sister" said
Henry, like young gallant, ut belongs
to the bat family and should not fly in
daytime Farewell for the next two
hours!" and saying these words the
sprightly youth kissed his hand, and.
with an alert step, left the room.
Mildred now retired to prepare for
the interview with her father.
