COSTS MONEY TO RUN zoo
Pets of Londoners Are Really Expen-
sive Propositions in the Feed
ing Line.

How much does It cost now to feed
an elephant for year? Two thousand
dollars, say the officials of the London
zoo. And a giraffe costs half as much.
So that, with the increased prices of
food, have come new problems for the
keepers of menageries. The meat foods
include beef, horse flesh, guinea pigs,
rats, cats, mice, rabbits, frogs, snakes,
fish, pigeons, ducks, sparrows, gentles,
snails, ants and cod liver oil. The ga
zelles, buffaloes and antelopes must be
provided with rock salt. They are fed
on oats, bran, hay. green clover, to-
gether with carrots and potatoes. The
birds are the most difficult to feed sat
isfactorily. Flamingoes, for instance,
require soaked wheat, boiled shrimps
and fish cut small. Some birds are
fed largely on bulIock's liver. This is
cut into slices, boiled. then put through
a mincing machine. The mince is
dried in q slow oven and preserved.
The dry mince Is usually mixed with
bran or pollard. Quantities of insects
have to be kept in stock for the insect
eating birds. These are principally
meal worms and gentles, which Is the
polite name for meat maggots. But
for some birds flies and graSshoppers
are required. The monkeys require
fruit, such as bananas and apples,
while the snakes must be fed on small
animals, such as rabbits, mice and
rats.

Fun for the Girl.

One evening, coming home from the
theater on the street car with my lady
friend. stepped from the car and
noticed an automobile coming up be-
hind the car. / kept my eye on the
automobile and took the elbow of the
next person alighting after me, ex-
pecting it to be my friend. Still watch
ing the motor, l led the elbow safely
to the walk, and then turned my at
tention to her. But, to my embarrass-
ment, who should find myself escort
ing, but a great, tall man, who said in
the sweetest voice: THANK you,
was never escorted by a young man
across the street before; you are the
kindest fellow ever met" My lady
friend was following US, and she gig
gled over the joke all the rest of the
way home.-Exchange

THEY TOOK HER LITERALLY
But Probably Musical Comedy Star
Did Not Mean Just What She
Threatened.

A popular musical comedy star was
taking her summer vacation in New
England village this year, and good
naturally agreed to participate In an
Entertainment" to be given at the
town hall for the benefit of local char
tiles. She procured from New York
one of the costumes from her last win
ter's show, and fetching poster show
ing herself In that same costume. Soon
after the poster was on display dele
gatioL Of village ladies waited upon
the committee of gentlemen who were
engineering the entertainment and pro-
tested against the chic costume of the
poster, which was, in fact, that of the
conventional prince" Of musical COM
edy, with frank if pleasing display
of silk-encased limbs.
Lets send for Miss de Lancy and
see if we can't fix it up," commit
teeman suggested, and this was done.
Now. besides being good natured.
Miss de Lancy is high-spirited, and
rather thought that the costume which
had been good enough for her to APP
pear in for some hundreds of times in
New York would do for one appear
ance In Hicksville.
''There is no use talking" she an
nounced with decision, "Ill appear In
that costume or nothing!"
There was a moment of Mortified ST.
lence, then quick whispering among
the lady delegation. and moment lat
er their protest against the proposed
costume was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Swiney and to further emphasize the
 expressions against Ireland. John A.
 Burke, the principal speaker of the
 evening, was introduced. Burke spoke at length on his per sonal acquaintance with the Ir1sh martyr and told of how he had first met the mayor in a prison at Belfast, where they were both confined as prisoners of the English government He cited the unse1fish love which Mac Swiney bore for his country, and how he had made innumerable sacrifices, even suffering a torturous death that the freedom of Ireland might be -ob- tained. The Irish parliament mem Der wound up his address by saying that no representative of Ireland will ever again submit to live in an English prison.
 Professor Donnelly cited the fact l that Ire1and's cause in their demand for recognition of the new republic States back in 1776 when they fought 1 the Revolution for their independ- ence.
 Father Burke spoke in stirring l terms of the long fought struggle that | Ireland had waged for independence, | and told how the late Lord Mayor had l died for liberty and a principle and ! that his death will excite the greatest
 sym mpathy in this country where 1 dwell the lovers of liberty. | The meeting closed with the adop- l ton of the resolutions calling upon 1 Secretary of State Colby in the de- | mand of liberty and in the name of l humanity to demand the release of | the Brixton prison. Copies of the | resolution were voted to be sent to l the relatives of Mayor MacSwiney. 1 Joseph Murphy and Michaen Fitzger- | aid, the latter two having also given l up their lives in sympathy with the
