Shockino a Lion.

\ circus and menageric containing
Eve lions, among other savage beasts,
was recently on exhibition in Balu-
more, and the largest lion was taken
sick with some unknown ailment. 1t
was determined to try the electric cure.
so after the matinee the keeper led
him out into the ring. and strong
collar with a long chain was fastened
around his neck. while his legs were
secured with stout ropes. The galvanic
battery was Of unusual strength, hay
Ing three cells. Contact was made with
the lions skin. and the needles were
slowly drawn out. gradually increasing
the force of the current. The sensa-
ton was new to the lion. At first he
remained quiet. as II trying to under
stand what queer thing had taken hold
Of him, but az the current grew strong
er he became weary and rolled from
side to side. and when the full force
Of the battery was put on he gave a
mighty ronr and sprang to his feet,
shaking off his tormentors. The roar
started the four other lions to roar
ing. and for a few minutes the sounds
were terrifying. Then the battery was
removed and nux vomica injected be-
hind the shoulder. The lion IS now
fully recovered.

Glass Cutting.

Glass in any form is one OF the most
stubborn of all substances with which
the layman has to deal in making
change of form in household neceS-
sity. With glass cutter and even
sheet glass to work upon, he knows
from experience that cutting glass
ism t always easy along straight lines.
1t is commonly known that a small
bottle may be cut by tying a string
around it, soaking the string in kero-
senc setting fire to it. and as it burns
out dashing cold water on the bottle.
This works only with the smaller
glass vessels.
Often one has need for a piece of
glass in circular form. Using a pair
of shears, immerse glass and shears in
a tub of water and holding them as
deeply as possible, the glass may be
cut away to the desired form. The
only thing to observe is that the
bite of the shears be not too deep,
as the glass cut away crumbles into
small particles.

The First Bricks.

TIE first bricks made in the Ter
ritory of Washington were in 1886, by
W. II. Guess, of Steilacoom. Peter
Judson of the same place, made the
second attempt, but did not find the
business remunerative, with the old
time appliances. Steilacoom had.
however, the first brick building. 4
small one-stOry store, the brick hav-
ing been imported from San Fran
cisco, as were those used i'll a brick
building at Whatcom (now Belling-
ham). Seattle imported from that
city, many years afterward, all the
brick used in the first brick build
ings, except OF one, which came from
Japan. Soon afterwards, William
Billings made an excellent quality of
brick from a yard he established on
Fourth and EaStside streets, and
aside from the first brick dwelling
house on Washington and Ninth
streets was about all he had to show
for his enterprise. His employees
were the county, and at times the
Territorial prisoners, but this ad-
vantage did not offset the difficulties
incident from use of crude appliances.

For rtheChildren
Frying an Egg on
a Cake of les.

Would you believe that eggs can be
fried on ice? Is it possible TO take an
ordinary frying pan. hold it over II
cake OF ice break an egg into 1t and
fry the egg to a turn without fire,
simply holding the pan in the hand:
1t can be done. This and other spec
tacular tricks Of similar nature were
performed at n recent electrical show
IN Chicago. Many skeptics lost their
money betting against 1t. They felt
the cold pan. broke the egg into il,
held the pan over the ice themselves
and then burned their fingers while the
egg was frying to find out il the pan
was really hot.
1t was all done by wireless. Under
the table was powerful electromaG-
net. When the operator turned on the
electric current, which was the Ordi-
nary alternating current from the city
mains, n powerful alternating mag
netic field permeated everything i'll the
vicinity. In any metal part near by 1t
set up induced electric currents, which
caused the egg to cook.

How to Wear Earriros,

Earrings are being worn more than
ever. but they do not necessitate the
display of the whole ear. nor does the
fashion mean that the lobes should be
pierced This should never be done.
Boring the ears means that rings must
be placed In them, and this means that
the ear lobes will he pulled down and
elongated until the ears lose their sea
shell semblance Boring in these days
Is unnecessary, as earrings are held in
place by invisible wires and tiny
screws.
Many Of the new earrings are re-
vivals. The old designs worn by the
gypsies are being adapted to modern
requirements and handsomely jeweled.
Diamonds and pearls are most often
blinded Emeralds. sapphires. tur-
Quoises-indeed. almost every kind Of
gem plays its part In the new ear
rings. The pendants to earrings .row
longer. Black and pure white pearls
are made up together. united by a
chain of almost invisible fneness.
These sort Of earrings should lie kept
for full dress.

A Doll Catastrophe.

The doll hospital in st. Louis was
burned few nights ago. and all the
sick and crippled dolls were burned
too There were 125 dolls In the hos
pital. they say In st. Louis. and those
of them that could talk probably
shrieked at the tops of their voices for
help, but no one heard them. Most OF
the dolls could not save themselves
because they had broken arms or legs
or necks or all the sawdust had come
out Of them. They had to stay and
be burned. and all the little girls that
had sent their dolls to the hospital got
up funeral ceremonies as soon as they
heard the dreadful news

Creased Clothes.

Clothes that have been packed away
in trunks or drawers are often creased
when they are taken out. The best
way to remove the creases is to hang
the clothes on a line in the bathroom,
shut the windows and door, and turn
on the hot-water tap, first of all max
ing sure that the water is really hot.
The steam will take out all the
creases and make the clothes look
quite fresh again. If possible, it is
best to hang them outdoors after
ward to air thoroughly.

Where Puget Sound its placid waters

Whose modest graces did enchant me

In golden dreams and raptured moods OF

And cen ween of stockin. thou hadst

Around thy shoulders gracefully was

And exc apetticoat that once was clean,
Thy slender waist and swelling limbs did

As though dried salmon thou hadst been

And thus it was for in thy savage home,
Where Indian wigwams look DER waters

The custom is to spear the spcck led fish
And smoke them when there's nothing

For huckleberries are Il wItery food.
And clans and oysters are not always

Though nameless animals thy hair infest
Still do love thee of all maidens the best
Then give to me blanket and mat;
Dried clans and fish my only food shall

Opinions in regard to motherhood
have been flying fast and furious. We
have heard from an eminent ex-prcsi-
dent of the United States and an
eminent cX-president OF Harvard. as
we'll rs from many less exalted per
sonages. Probably no family is more
widely known than the Gou,ds. and
when Mrs. George Gould. who has
successfully reared seven children of
her own. consents 10 speak of her sys
tenn and gives her opinions Of n moth
er's dutythey are worthy of serious con-
sideration-a great deal more serious
consideration than the opinion of any
mere man, since she is not only
woman Of exceptional intelligence. but
is enabled to speak from practical ex-
perience. Mrs. Gould's family consists
of Kingdom. jay, Marjorie. now Mrs.
Anthony J. DreXcl. Jr.: Nivien, now
Lady Decies: George j., Jr. Edith
twentythree years of age, and the
baby of the family is Gloria, who was
born four years ago.
Briefly put. Mrs. Gould said:
Motherhood is the most beautiful
thing In woman's life.
\ woman secures greater pleasure
from her children than from anything
else
Large families are good when par
ents are able to care for them. other

She believes that children should be
possible, and they should have fresh
air in copious quantities at all times.
Childron should not lie sent tn school
until they have grown 70 IN age OF un-
derstandng.
The early training of children by
tutors is when possible the very best.
When tutors are not To be had mother
and father should direct the training

years. and she believes a careful train

horseback every day in the summer.
All her children are started in the

real liking for it.
Her boys are allowed to follow their
own inclinatiOns so far as training
themselves for business life is con-
cerned
The same freedom of choice was
given to the girls when they grew up.
\ mother should have children near
her as much as possible.
\ mother should supervise the dress

Of her children is ever dressed too
warmly. When they go out they al

A mother should have system in
