Tn. Lion and the Lamb.

The hardest thing to train a wild
beast TO do Is TO perform with a weak.
defenseless animal. In one Of the big
circuses some years ago an effort was
made to persuade a very docile old
lion to lie down with a lamb. The
idea was certainly a good one. but II
took several lambs and also several
months before the lion. which was
willing to do any kind Of trick. would
allow a lamb to enter his den with
impunity. Twice be killed a lamb In
the presence of his trainer. and once
he nearly killed the trainer, who tried
to pull away the carcass. Finally the
lion would tolerate the lamb In the den
Just so long as the keeper stood over
II with an iron bar. But the perform
ance was so evidently forced and so
lacking IN s~moothness and interest
that Ii was abandoned after two or
three attempts.

gone a few yards the lion headed him
of, and this was repeated until the
mouse stood still. The lion then stood
over him. studying him with interest.
and presently he brought his paw down
on the mouse. but so gently that IL was
not injured In the least. Then the
lion played with the mouse, now let
ting him run a few inches and stop
ping him again. Suddenly the mouse
changed his tactics and instead Of run

sprang straight ar the big animals

leap backward and roared in extreme
fright, while the little mouse made his
escape. OF the two the lion was the

SchilIer,s Revenua


When Schiller was q boy at school
he was tormented by a Swiss tutor
named Kuplig, who came from the
Grisons canton. Years later, when the
poet wrote The Robbers" he reveng-
ed himself on Kuplig and the Grisons
by introducing this little speech: ITO
be a scamp you must have genius.
Moreover, a special climate is needed
for the growth Of scamps, and to
prove this | recommend you to visit
the Grisons canton. 1t Is the verita-
BILE Athens Of modern rascality." In
the later editions Of "The Robbers"
this quaint bit Of spleen does not APP
pear. 1t Is suggested that Schiller
was not moved TO expunge it By any
remorseful feeling. but by a very forci-
BILE protest from the residents of the
abused canton against this calumny.

There is u pretty little history in CON

when General Mel was returning
from the scene of his victories In war;
writes IN eminent e. rlst, "one of the
peasant women along the line OF march
presented him with a beautiful basket
OF yellow roses. One of these flowers
still had Its roots ciinging to 1t, and on
his arrival In Paris Mel planted the
flower In his garden. The rose thrived
and finally grew Do a bush covered
with blossoms. The general then pre-
scented the plant as a gift TO Empress
Eugene. She was delighted with the
beauty and fragrance OF the flower
and, on learning that the rose had no
name, said significantly: Then l will
give II one. christen II the Marechal
Mel And at the same time she be
