A FINE OUTING.
Tenting on the Kentucky State Fair
Grounds.

Grounds.
Arrangements have been made for
those who want to take a weeks out
ing to have their own tent upon the
State Fair grounds Persons desiring
a tent should write to Secretary New
man of Louisville, KY, and notify him,
and tents can be secured and fur
nished to visitors at actual cost. Many
persons have an idea that they can
take in the entire Fair in one day,
when in fact six days can be very
proftably spent in studying the vari-
GUS exhibits that will be upon the
grounds. Many for the first time Wis
iting the State Fair for one day, leave
with the. determination to come again
the next year and spend several days
and make their arrangements accord
ingly.

A F~renchman on Our Energy.

NJ. bjrmin Roe, in the Revue des Deux
Mondes
The Puritans of Yorkshire disembarked
on a land that offered them nothing. but
promised everything. 1t invited to labor.
and the pioneer had only to advance in
order to conquer. Property spread out be-
fore him, unbounded, free, and offered To
his simple effort. And the development of
industry, the progress of steam and cleo
tricity, and the discovery of mines re-
suited In a tenfold expansion of energy.
initiative, and daring. An unexpected
world awaited the hand and mind of man;
and man responded to this appeal.
There was no burdensome legacy from
the past 20 hamper the free hands of the
workers; their effort turned spontaneous
Iy toward the future. Action was concen-
trated toward a single end-the production
of wealth. This was a primordial condi-
ton of life before it became an ambition
Whereas other peoples nave expended
their energies in safeguarding their from
tiers from enemies or rivals and in real
izing their dreams of military glory. the
colonists of New England and the citizens
of the young republic devoted themselves
to economic development and to the most
intense labor. The latter characteristic
continues to the present time. 1t stamps
each individual with its imprint, and thus
reduces to uniformity the continually in
creasing diversity of races and peoples
thrown by immigration on the shores of
the western hemisphere.
Physical energy of effort dominates the
entire psychology OF the American.
Pioneers, trappers OF the North. cow
boys of western ~solitudes, seekers for
gold, soldiers of f~ortune-all subsist by
this force OF energy. This initial necessity
has never changed. One finds 1t even
among the kings OF industry of railroads
and OF finance.

A big circus in its winter quarters
getting ready for the roa is q creature
Of ~incessant activities. To the per-
former and circus hands ii means hard
work and plenty of it. To the animals

One realizes this more fully when he

Gus winters"
The preliminary work begins with
the first hint of spring. First of all,
when the Johnny jump-ups begin to
peep out from the dead twigS on the
southern slopes, the animals that have
beer largely left to themselves in their
big barn during the cold months be-
come the objects of more careful at
tention. Their daily ration is increased
and occasionally they are let out, n
at a time, and made to perform their
old time stunts before their trainers.
AT first this Is done only now and then
TO keep them In practice. But, begin
ming a few weeks before the close OF
the winter vacation, they are made to
work OUT twice each day.
Dog Soap for Lions.
lions, tigers, hyenas, ~leopards and
wolves are given occasional baths, dog
soap being used IN them. Then, to the
crack Of the keepers whip, they are
thoroughly dried off. And 1t does not
look exactly like a Sunday school pic
mic when one of these savage brutes Is
being given a dog soap bath.
Snarling and roaring the beast is
lariated and pulled close to the bar
Of his cage. While two or more men
hold his head against the iron sides
another man steps inside with a bucket
of hot water, a bar of dog soap and
a brush. For five or ten minutes the
beast makes the air hideous with his
noise, but he is scrubbed much like the
youngster in the old time soap adj
vertisement that bore the legend, You
Dirty Boy" beneath it. Then, half
frightened he Is driven from the cage
and made to scamper before the whips,
around and around the big barn until
he is no longer wet. Not until then is
he allowed to enter the cage Dam

NEW IDEA
Helped WIS. Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely to-
old notions of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap
piness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The hus-
band writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking. were sleepless, nervous,
sallow, weak, and irritable. My wife
and I both loved coffee and thought 1t
was a bracer' (deIusion).
FINALLY, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness OF
coffee, and believing hat to grow we
should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made 1t right we liked 1t
and were relieved of Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, sturdier nerves, better
temper. etc.
These changes were not sudden, but
relief increased as we continued to
drink aud enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
Many Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled

ence to stable rules. The ship of the
desert is a clearly animal. He requires
little care and Toes not object to a

Elephants Like Water.
Uncle Pachyderm,'' the big elephant,
likes water. Inside or out, an elephant
seems always possessed of a thirst.
And the story of how he is prepared
for the road Is an interesting one.
Standing near the large heater in
the center of the animals winter quar-
ters, the elephants trumpet expectantly
as attendants come running with lad
der, buckets, sponges, pumice stone
and Meats foot oil. The elephant who
has been there before" knows what Is
In store for him and he is pleased.
During the winter his thick skin has
grown rough and dusty n he knows
the bath will put an END to that con-
dition OF affairs.
A hose is turned on him: brushes,
their stiff fbers sounding Hike a street
sweeper as they move along his sides
and back, are welded with no gentle
hand. Then, when the worst Is off, the
pumice stone Is brought into use. His
back is scrubbed with the stone the
same as a floor Is scrubbed with sand
soap.
This operation often lasts several
hours. When Ii is finished the elephant
is as smooth as a piece OF sculpture.

Aside from the trick animals there are
many horses used as mounts by men

around while the riders stand up, turn

feats. This Is how they get the name
"resin-back."

horses. With this highly adhesive
substance rubbed into the coat of a
horse II is almost impossible for a
rider to slip from his or her position.
For bareback riding white horses are
generally chosen because the resin
cannot be detected on account of the
color.
1t is not generally known that horses
are fond of raw eggs, except among
circus men. For several weeks before
the opening of a season the horses that
are to carry the gaily caparisoned
knights and ladies in the big street
parades are fed from six to fifteen
eggs at ZACH meal. This is done to
give a glossy coat, and is a much more
satisfactory treatment than constant
currying and rubbing. Sometimes the
animals eat the eggs and refuse oats
and corn, so fond are they of h odd
diet.
