Private Home for Savage Pets.

AT Stelligen. pretty suburb of the
port Of Hamburg, has recently been
completed one of the finest geological
gardens existing in Europe. if not in
the world. SO writes j. 3. Van BruSsel
in the Technical World Magazine
The geological park occupies thirty
six acres of ground and arrangements
have been made SO as to throw another
tWenty-six acres into the park if desir-
able But it is the bold and even dar-
ing manner in which it is being laid out
that calls for special attention Here
you can gaze at lions, tigers, and other
wild beasts appearing to the naked eye
to re entirely i'll the open, no iron bars
or netting interfering with your views.
A description of the lions quarters
Will give an idea of how this is being
accom- lished. At the back of the lion
house. which is artistically covered all
over with imitation rockWork, there is
4 space of sixty feet wide by forty-iive
feet deep. On three sides there arc
ROCKS which rise to such height that
no animal could possibly jump over
them. while they are to steep to be
climbed. The other side is absolutely
open, but the animals are securely con-
fined to their Enclosure by means of
broad ditch, fifteen feet deep and half
full of water. Immediately in front of
this ditch is a narrow strip of garden
full OF tropical ferns. plants, and other
shrubs, and then comes the public foot
path. From the latter the public gaze
at both lions and tigers, nothing
separating them but the ditch. From
the animals side of the ditch to the
footpath there is distance of thirty
feet No animal could leap this, for the
Enclosure is so designed that it is inn
possible for the animals to take rum
ming jump in that direction.
Eight lions and three Bengal tigers
now occupy this Enclosure.

The AIdrich Bill.

Congressman Burleigh's newspaper.
the Kennebec Journal, is loyal sup
porter of Senator Aldrich in financial
matters. The Journal approved the
Aldrich bill before it was written. liked
it still better when it was submitted
to the Senate and now that it has been
amended SO that it's own author can
hardly recognize it, considers it per-
feet. If it ever becomes law there
will be nothing left of the original bill
excepting the enacting clause, but the
Journal will still approve it, for it is
more than likely that that is the only
portion OF the bill which our congress-
man has thoroughly digested. Water
vile Sentinel.
The Sentiners statement that the
Journal approved the Aldrich bill be
fore it was written is simply Il SAM
pie of the Sentinel's peculiar method
of juggling the truth. 1t regards such
play as an expression of humor-a
field of wit in which it stands alone.
The Journal supports the Aldrich bill
because it gives 4 generous measure OF
DI StN-siA ACIlCA uSoAiiol eAiS
of currency stringency that occurred
last fall during the crop moving per-
iod, and because we believe it is the
only measure of practical relief that
stands any chance Of passing the pres
ent Congress with it's wide divergence
Of opinion on financial affairs. 1t is
interesting to note that Mr. Bryan,
the "peerless" Democratic leader IS
urging members of his party in Con-
gress to support the measure on the
same ground. The Bailey bill which
was supported ty the Democratic
members of the finance committee is
practically the same as the Aldrich
bill in its essential features.
So Ear as the cheap abuse in the
last line Of the above quotation from
the Sentinel is concerned it is enough
of thing constantly on tap for Repub-
iican officials and prospective Repub-
campaign of mud and mirth SneerS
and epithets thus employed for the
purposes of political disparagenient are
small. End mean. and petty and alto
gether cheap. Intelligent readers Of
all parties recognize their cOntempti-
BILE character. and. as a result they
carry no weight.

The Portland Advertiser pays State
Road Commissioner Paul d. Sargent a
merited compliment for the excellent
work he is doing for the improvement
of Names highways
While Mr.. Sargent isn't one of the

nicipal officers indicate how thorough

preaching the gospel of good roads in
a common sense way which appeals to
all municipalities and is giving the
State excellent service He is young,
enthusiastic. aggressive-the sort of

This is strong praise and rightly be-
slowed Mr.. Sargent has been an indie
fatigable worker and the State is be-
ginning to appreciate more and more
the practical results Of his labors.

Once in a Lifetime.

1t was a pitiful mistake,
An error sad and grim.
I waited for the railway train;
The light was low and dim.
1t came at last, and from the car
There stepped dainty dame,
And, looking up and down the place,
She straight unto me came.
ooh. Jack"' she cried. "oh. dear old
jack
And kissed me as she Spake;
Then looked again. and frightened. cried,
"Oh, what a bad mistake"'
said, Forgive me. maiden fair
For I am not your Jack;
And as regards the kiss you gave,
I'll straightway give it back"
And since that night I've often stood
Upon that platform dim.
But only once in mans whole life
DO such things come to him.
