CIRCUS RIDERS.
They Earn Good Salaries, but Their
Careers Are Short.


A man horseback rider receives from
$75 to 1925 week, and his career us a
principal rider lasts about ten years. It
is short not SO much because these men
get stiff and lose their agility as be-
cause they lose their nerve. Nearly all
circus folk marry young. and with their
added responsibilities comes lively
sense Of danger which they ignored in
younger days. A man rider who can
not turn a somersault on q horse can
not command more than $50 week. A
woman rider who can perform this
feat gets from $50 to $500 week IL
Sue is Il finished rider.
This isn't much when all the disad-
vantages Of the calling are taken into
consideration, but it should be remem-
bered that all the expenses are paid,
including the care, feeding and Of
course the transportation OF their
horses. All they have to provide is
their own clothing. For the men riders
clothes do not constitute much Of q
iactor, and the women nearly always
make their own, except those provided
by the management.

Eagles and hyenas. II they are

"Oh, OF course"
ITS the truth. Pliny mentions It
in his natural history, and I have

eagle three days, and he began to
tear chunks out Of his thigh and eat
them The thing was so sickening to
me that only permitted 1t to go on

It for my last book, then I restored
the eagles rations again. The poor
fellow had made hole in his thigh
as big as your fist. and to this day

"And the hyena: The hyena was
worse still. At first he was obstinate
and refused to touch himself; but one
night heard angry growls from his
cage and, going down with lantern,

had made great progress. He had

Strained the Jar.

A little old woman with sharp nose
and sharper tongue was in the country
grocery store buying supplies. Among
other things she brought In from her
cart was battle SCARED jug, which
she ordered to be filed with treacle.
At last, when her purchases were
completed, she began looking over the
account, item by item, before paying
What's this:' she exclaimed. you
have charged me for two gallons and
. half Of treacle."
Yes, ma'am"
But that jug holds only two gal
Ions"
You must be mistaken. I measured
the treacle carefully, and 1t took two
gallons and half to fill it,
"Weil," said the old woman with a
sigh, Il don't so much mind having to
pay for the treacle, but do object to
having the old jug strained by your
putting in half gallon more than 1t

Plane Sailing.

All plain sailing. This term Is so
spelled even in nautical works Of some
age, but plane sailing is the correct
form. Before Mercator invented the
sea chart which goes by his name all
charts were on plane projection. In
using these the ships course was treat
ed as an angle and the distance, DIFF
ference of latitude and departure as
the sides Of right angled triangle.
There were very large errors in plane
charts, yet all the world was charted
on them and all the great voyages Of
discovery made before AIercator's pro-
lection came into use. Plane sailing
was the simplest of all sailings, ana
thus came the present meaning Of the
term.
