Animals That Earn Their Living.

The number and variety of four
footed creatures on the stage or lin
the circus and earning good salaries
for their trainers is astonishing.
Lions, tigers, elephants, bears, horses,
clown mules, Shetland ponies who
dance the lanciers in sets, acrobatic
dogs, horses that do fractions, and
monkeys that accomplish some feats
that require almost human intelli-
gence and ability are legion. Good
animal actors are always in demand.
and the salaries they command are
powerful incentives for trainers to
rack their brains to hit upon some
new and amusing act. 1t is not the
cleverest act that wins approval so
much as the most original and anus
ing
There are two universal rules
among animal trainers. The first is
to become familiar with the animals
and to known his temperament and
to make friends with him. The next
thing Is to make the animal under
stand thoroughly what it is that you
want him to do and to make him
do it. The animal must be made
to feel that the man is his superior;
then unremitting labor and infinite
patience are required if successful
result is to be btained.-Harrict
Quimbey, in Leslie's Weekly.

Just Said About the Bible.

The first book that was given me
was Bible, and in those far off gypsy
days, as a little nomad, little stran-
ger, when could not tell A from B.
used to open the book under hedge
OF tree, or in the corner of field
and very often it was the wrong way
up. But that did not matter; T. was
all there, and l used to kneel down
beside 1t and pray this prayer: "Oh.
God, l cannot read Thy book. but
would You fill my heart with its
spirit" And the Lord heard that
prayer long before l could read a
letter; and l should not have been
where I am to-day If had not kept
up that sort Of attitude, and l have
tried to cultivate the art OF living in
an atmosphere of talking to God.
And, men and women, you will have
to get there If you are going to be Of
any service to God and humanity

Wife Dumb, Has To Listen.

Arriving at the conclusion that his
wife could and did talk enough for
both of them, Isaac Hollar, after a
quarrel with her, fifteen years ago,
vowed never to speak to her again,
so for that length of time kept silent.
He was moved to change his mind
a few days ago only after distress
ing accident had happened to his
wife. While she was in an excited
frame of mind and was engaged in
reminding him of his shortcomings,
her tongue suddenly became paralyz-
ed, so that in a second she became
speechless.
Mr.. Hollar at first could not be-
lieve it was true; it seemed too good.
Then, when he saw that there was
no chance of a comeback he address.

rose to heights of oratory and in an
impassionate manner he made up for
all the golden opportunities he had
neglected. All his wife could dc
was to make motions.-N. Y. World

Georcia's Great Peach Crop.

Down in my State" said Mr.. M.
r. Campbell, of Valdosta, Ga, the
owners of peach orchards are happy.
The prospects of good yield of
peaches are fine, and one of our rail-
roads expects to employ over 1000
refrigerator cars this season, as
against $50 last year. When | was
d youngster nobody in Georgia ever
thought of selling peaches. The
farmer who had them gave them
away to every passing traveller.
To-day Georgia has 100000
peach trees planted, and the average
wort. of the crop to the State is
about $S,000.000 annually. Our
famous Elberta variety is eagerly
bought in every big city of the ma
ton, and the supply is never equal

Without a pulse beating in either
arm, p. j. Donovan, who is in charge
of the construction of the new post
Office in this city, lays claim to being
the only man alive with such a con-
dition. When Mr.. Donovan Is Ill

to be substituted.
The popularity of Mr.. DoRovan's
condition came about some time ago,
and was the result of heavy work in
lifting and similar labors in connec-
ton with his business as contractor
There were two operations at the
hands of DR.. McDill, of Ogdensburg.
The arteries below the breast were
cut and tied, and hence no pulse

Pearl Farm Is The Latest.

e. r. jefferson, of Duluth, has
devised a scheme for treating clans
SO each may prove pearl bearer.
He made a study of the pearl ques-
ton as applied to bivalves and ascer-
tanned the scientific theory of the
origin of the pearl in shellfish. Then
he figured the cultivation of the gems
was possibly a practical venture.
Mr.. Jefferson actually has grown
some pearls, although they are small.
1t remains to be seen, with lapse of
time, if large ones cannot be Guilt
waited.
Several years ago Jefferson secured
a number of clans. and, after in
closing a space on lake shore, plant
ed them in the water. Before doing
SO he bored a tiny hole in the shell
and lodged a grain of sand in each.
AS result he succeeded in getting
a number of small pearls.

Fishes That Grunt.

An interesting, but not surprising,
detail of the Italian biologists claim
to have discovered that fishes con-
verse by means of buzzes, is his point
that the red gurnet is the most talk
alive. The gurnet or gurnard de-
rives it's name from kind of grunt
which it utters when taken out of
the water (French "grogner, TO
grunD. Nearly 1000 years ago
Aristotle recorded that, though fishes,
having no lungs, have therefore no
voice, several of them can emit
granting sounds. But this kind OF
protest, which might possibly be con
sidered purely automatic, Is a good
deal short of the conversational pow
ers which the Italian attributes to the
proverbially dumb tribe.

A NODa'S Feat.

For fourteen years Bava Luchman
Dass received from the priests of the
Black Caves of central India the
necessary education in order to be-
come yoga, as yoga must be
capable of taking the forty-eight pos
lures of the Hindoo idols.
Perhaps his greatest trick consists
in balancing himself on the ends of
his fingers while the whole of his
body is in the air. Bava stated that
in order to obtain the rank of yoga
in the Black Caves of India he had
to continue in this position on the
ends of his fingers under the eyes of
the Judges, without seconds inter-
val. for seven days and nights.

Sounding by Sight.


An ingenious device by which the

fall in Ontario was ascertained is de.

was too dangerous to make soundings
from boat, SO Mr.. Hixon planted a

ried a strong wire, with heavy lead
weight at the end, to the opposite
shore. The wire was drawn taut.
and the weight was gradually pulled
across on the bottom of the river.

Robert Sewell, of Stidham, a
