importance, a substratum OF natural

ly facilitating the laying out of the
new zoo.
The chief point of interest after en-.
tering the grounds is the bear pool.
Here we find the home of the Polar
bear, deep, long pool blasted out OF
the solid rock, with a raised central
mass of rock leading up to the bears
cages. The backs of the cages are
at the highest point and give on to
the high mass OF rock and the pool
with its inhabitants. On the south OF
the pool is a vertical wall OF rock. the
crest protected by downwardly project
ing iron spikes and by a fence. over
which the spectator can view the
bears in complete safety.
Higher up on the the northern boun-
dairy of the estate there will be an
attraction second only to the bear
pool, namely, the lions den. This is
going to be one OF the features Of the
Scottish Zoo" and 1t Is perhaps as In
teresting now, while In course OF con-
struction. as it viii be when finished.
Two sets Of cages face one another.

zoos" You enter from the open
south end. and on the north a stout
wooden and iron screen links up the
ends of the two lots OF cages. Look
ing through the screen. the square
mouth OF cavern cut in the natural
rock beyond Is seen. This leads, by
way to the blasted-out rock tunnel and
passage. to what will be the lions
den. now being excavated in the solid
rock at the back of the western set OF
cages. A passage in the rock behind
each set of cages leads round to the
cavern entrance and down to the den.
1t will be possible, therefore. to allow
any of the animals in the cages a con-
siderable freedom FOR lengthy periods
instead of keeping them eternally
cooped up, procedure which should
result in greatly increased vigor
and handsome and healthy instead
of NANCY appearance. When the
construction Of this home is complete,
the lions will be shown in an environ
ment that approximates to nature as
closely as possible.

Hint to Bridecrooms.

The mercenary marriage is detest.

into without proper provision for fu-

And included in this provision should
be a complete understanding between
the bride and her husband of the
amount to be placed weekly or month.
~ at her disposal No matter how
generous the man be, he should not
place his wife in the humiliating po-
sition of pauper, who has to ask for
every cent which she receiyes-and
who often has to account for the way
in which she spends 1t. Or If she has
the money, as sometimes happens.
she should be equally considerable of

Outside of the allowance for the
house, she should have a sum set
aside for her own personal use, for
which she should be accountable to
nobody.-Leslie's Weekly.

Wisconsin Poultry Show.


At an informal meeting OF Wiscon-
sin poultry men in Fond du Lac plans
for the organization OF the Greater
State Poultry Show association of Wis
consin we're adopted. the organization
to embrace the foremost poultry men
Of the state.
The first show probably will be held
in Milwaukee. although this has not
definitely been decided. Already ar
rangements have been made to coop
between 5000 and 5000 birds. The
Milwaukee poultry show, which has
been an annual feature in past years.
win not be held this year.
The show that will be staged by the
organization now being launched will
rival the great midwest show that is
to be held in Chicago in December

Wisconsin on the map as great and
flourishing poultry center.
Those who were in attendance at
the meeting here were: Judge w II,
Lads of Waupaca; Judge NJ. Wells,
Oshkosh: Mrs. Marie d. Pffer, poultry
editor OF a Milwaukee newspaper; OF
to Born and c. L. Prefontaine of Fond
