Among the huge cages of tbecarniv-1 orous animals—the lithe tigress, the j treacherous and soft footed leopardess and frequently even the generous lioness herseif—the life of a baby wild animal becomes sometimes a tale of bloodshed and tragedy. Nagged and galled by prison bars, by narrow confines that make exercise impossible and by the excitement of throngs of sightseers, these naturally nervous and high j strung brutes become overwrought to a pitch where they satisfy an unnat | ural cannibal appetite on their own flesh and blood. Like little bundles of sunshine the ’ kittens of these ferocious brutes appear, mewing plaintively with tight shut eyes and groping in the darkness. | Thousands of them have been born be- I , hind tlie bars of menagerie cages—no , fault lies with the stork himself—but ; most frequently the irresponsible, crazy mothers pounce upon and devour them or else injure them beyond hope of re- ( cowry. When the watchfulness and a pitchfork of a keeper succeed in rescuing one of these kittens, it is given in charge of some big mother dog, which adopts the stranger and rears him. Now and then, however, some strong, healthy, intelligent member of this ferocious family ceases to worry and fret at captivity, and. the maternal instinct cropping to the fore, the care of a litter of cubs becomes a welcome relief from the stent monotony of prison life.—A. W. itolker in McClure's.

REAL HORSEPLAY, — Some Franks Flayed by an Equine Practical Joker. A Staten Island physician is the own- ! er of a horse which has a fondness for practical jokes. Recently the doctor I drove into the country to answer a sick call. Arriving at the farmhouse he tied his horse to a post, near which hung a I rope attached to a large bell used as a ' dinner signal for employees, and went j in to see his patient. Pretty soon the bell rang violently. The doctor and the l man of the house looked out, but could I see nothing except the horse. They | had hardly turned away, however, before the bell rang again, and again | they looked, but could see nothing. This was repeated, and the doctor determined to solve the mystery, so at the third ring, instead of going into the house he stepped behind a tree in the yard. He kept his eye on the bell rope and in about a minute was surprised to see his horse lift up his head and give the rope a hard tug. When the physician sprang out and contented the horse, the animal put on a look of innocence. The same horse the next day was turned loose in the doctor's barnyard, and while there the beast saw a basket hanging on a pole about seven feet from the ground. In the basket was a pet cat. The horse put ids nose up to investigate, and the cat gave the intruder a scratch. The horse turned around, locked back over bls shoulder as though to take aim and measure the distance and kicked cat and basket into tlie air The equine joker then gave a low whinny of delight and walked away.—New York Mail and Express. Witchcraft. Jane Wenham was indicted at the Hertfordshire assizes on March 4. 1712. for "conversing with the devil in the form of a cat,’’ under the provisions of the act of IGO4, repealed in 1736. Her prosecutors wished to have her also indieted for practicing witchcraft to the harm of Ann Thorn, a servant girl about sixteen years old. but this was not allowed, though evidence was produced at the trial tor show what injury had lieen done the victim by means of crooked pins and by placing cakes and cats’ hairs in Ann Thorn’s pillow and how the prisoner had caused the death of some cattle simply by walking through a turnip field. The jury brought her in “guilty.” and Mr. Justice Powell passed sentence of death, but took steps to quash the verdict. Wenbam's prosecutors published an account of the case, but their arguments were pulverized by scientific men. Jane Wenham herself was liberated and taken under the protection of Colonel Plummer, who gave her a cottage. and we are told by Dr. Hutchinson that in 1720 the whole country was fully convinced of ber innocence.

KeeplnK Hl. Place Warm. This story is told of a successful general who was far from being a brilliant scholar at school. After he became famous he one day dropped into the old school to pay a visit to the scene of bis former woes. The teacher was anxious to make a good impression on tlie general and put the pupils through their lessons so ns to show them to the best advantage. After awhile the general said: "But which is tlie dunce? You have one, surely. Show him to mo.” The teacher called up a poor fellow, who looked the picture of woe as he bashfully came toward the distinguished visitor. “Are you the dunce?” asked the general. “Yes, sir.” said the boy. “Well, my good fellow,” said the general. “bore is a crown for you for keeping my place warm.” —London Tit Bits. Carious Tombstone. On a gravestone in tlie parish churchyard of Great Yarmouth. England, there is sculptured the unusual representation of a clown seated in a tub. which is being drawn down a river by two swans. Beneath this stone lies one of the many victims who were drowned years ago by tlie collapse of an iron suspension bridge on which they had crowded to see a clown pass underneath in the manner described. The feat, which was a novel form of advertisement by a traveling circus, was actually performed, but the rush of people from one side of the bridge to the other after the man bad passed under caused the tragic ending. Judicial Ignorance. The ignorance of worldly affairs or the part of judges is proverbial, but a county court judge the other day certainly amazed the court, says an English newspaper. Counsel happen >d to say that the defendant, a vocalist, could not "turn up" at a certain place. “Turn up!" said the judge in bland surprise, “but he Is a Vocalist, not an acrobat.” This recalls the story of the judge who asked. ‘‘What is the Stock ExciMnge—a cattle market?” All on One Side. “I am told your bride is very pretty,” said Miss Peppery. “Yes, indeed!" replied Mr. Con Sect. “Several of the guests at the ceremony were pleased to call it a ‘wedding of beauty and brains.' " “Well, well! She must be a remarkable woman! That's an unusual combination in one person."—Philadelphia Press. An Exrlinnge of Compliment.. “Man.” remarked Mrs. Dinsmore reflectively as she dressed for going out. "is fearfully and wonderfully made.” "And woman." added Mr. Dinsmore, who was waiting impatiently, "is fear fully and wonderfully made up.”—De1 troit Free Tress.

When Beard. Were Barred. In the early part of the hist century a social tyranny prevailed which regarded the beard ns an outrage, says an English writer. At one tune only ' four men in Birmingham had courage : to wear beards. They were follower of Joanna Scuthcott. They did it in imitation of the apostles and were 1 jeered nt in tlx- streets. George brederiek Muntz, one of the first two ' members elected in Birmingham, wns 1 the first member who ventured to weai a beard in the house of commons, and | he would have been insulted had he - not been n powerful man and carried a heavy Malacca cane, which he was known to apply to any one who offered him a personal affront. The Rev. Edmund R. Lnrken of Burton rectory, near Lincoln, was the first clergyman (that was ns late as 1852) who appeared in the pulpit with a beard, but lie shaved the upper lip ns an apology for ' the audacity of his chin. George Dawson was the first nonconformist preacher who delivered a sermon in a full blown mustache and beard, which was ’ taken in both eases ns an unmistakable sign of latltudinarianism in doc- ; trine, in the bank clerk or the workman it was worse. It was flat insub ’ ordination not to shave. Illg words are the tombs in which we bury our ideas.—Fowler. — f Old papers for sale at this office. ’ Soap, per cake 3c. Racket Store.
