SRR AWV N et AW ey = PET TORE OFF WIS CLOTHES Sea-Lion the Cause of Considerable Embarrassment to Owner and - Trainer of Animals. : s i A sea-lion looks much like a seal, but it is larger, has a longer neck, and holds its head very upright. One of the largest sea-lions ever kept in captivity was once owned by Mr. Carl Hagenbeck, who buys and sells wild animals. It weighed nearly a ton, but it was so good-tempered and amiable that Mr. Hagenbeck’s father took a great liking to it, fed it himself every day, and made a great pet of it. At last it became so tame that it followed him about the grounds like a dog, stopped when he stopped, and then flopped on again after him in its clumsy way, giving peculiar little cries from time to time, as if to ask him to stop, or not to walk so fast. : One afternoon, when a good many people were looking at the sea-lion, Mr. Hagenbeck took some pieces of fish in a basket, and went into the inclosure to feed his pet. He threw one piece of fish at a time, and the sea-lion caught them in his mouth. Each time he caught a piece of fish he would gulp it down hurriedly, and: then give one of his peculiar cries, as if begging for more. When he had eaten more than half the basketful, Mr. Hagenbeck thought he had enough for a meal, and taking up the basket, turned to go out. A < But the seal-lion did not agree with him. Quick as a flash, he rushed up to Mr. Hagenbeck, caught hold of his coat with his sharp teeth, and with one wrench, not only tore it off his back, but took a large piece of the shirt with it. He then caught hold of the basket in the most greedy man-.l ner, and began to gobble up the rest of the fish as quick as he could. ‘ He was very good-tempered about | it, and gulped down his food until‘ the basket was quite empty; then he went over to his master, as if to ask if that were all. But poor Mr. Hagenbeck was standing with his back to{ the wall, for it had been stripped bare of clothing, and before so many people he felt ashamed. He called out to his son to bring him an overcoat, and when that came, he put it on, still standing with his back to the wail,i while the sea-lion hovered about him, evidently puzzled to know what was the matter.—Youth’s Compgnion.

SURGICAL WORK OF THE PAST Researches Have Shown That Art Was Known Many Thousands of Centuries Ago. Dr. F. M. Sandwith, lecturing at Kensington (London) Town hall, said the first surgeon of whom he could find any record lived in the fifth Egyptian dynasty, and must have been court doctor to the Pharaoh Sahura, some 4,000 vears before Christ. The first surgical implements ot which we know anything were splints found in the Nubian desert. In one place a graveyard was found, and here were remains of bodies with fractured limbs that had been set with bark splints. One was a right thigh bone that had been broken and was still held in position by a workmanlike splint and bandages. All the kaots were true reef knots, and the wrapping showed how the strips of palm fiber cloth were set just as a gooad surgeon would set them nowadays, so as to use the full strength of the fabric. In other cases bodies were found with compound fractures, where the broken ends of the bone had broken through the skin. Death seems to have come to them very quickly after an accident of this kind, for no trace of healing of the bones is to be found. ' Salt Germs. Salt, of all things, we deem germproof; but, as a matter of fact, salt is one of the most germrridden foods we eat.” : . The speaker, a physiologist®®ghed and resumed: “You know gray salt, the ‘gros sel’ that gourmands eat with boiled beef? Well, that salt is made gray by the addition of mud, plain mud. Hence it always contains from 6,000 to 75,000 bacterial colonies per gram. + “Refined salt, white salt, is almost as bad. It lies, you know in the refinery under a blanket of clay, and its refining consists of a sea-water bath, ,after which it is dried and heated to ‘the point of crystalization. All this fails, of course, to remove from it its ;2,000 or 3,000 baecterial colonies per ‘gramme that it imbibed from its clay blanket. s “The pure-food people should look 'to our salt. The white, clean stuff is alive with germs. Yet it would be ‘easy to refine it so as to make it germ-free.” | Her Anniversary Gift. _ © “When I make gifts to people,” said ‘the girl, “I always try to find something appropriate, or something for ‘which I've heard them express a liking. But not .long ago my little sys. item went wrong. The parents of g jdear friend were about to start for {California on the anniversary of their {wedding. Remembering their fondness .for Stevenson, I bought a copy of ;“Travels with a Donkey,” and had it ‘sent out to the girl’'s mother. It {wasn't until they were well on their jJourney that I realized what I had .done. : . “Fortunately they both have a sense ‘of humor and I had a breezy little {note of acknowledgment from the {father, in which he said he was glad ito know that I was sustaining my ireputation for appropriate ' gifts. 1 ‘mever expect to hear the last of thai one.” e Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Cotherman and children and Mrs. Sarah Jane Leas drove over to Goshen and spent Thanksgiving with relatives ) - FOR SALE—24O Montana feeding lambs weight about sixty pounds and a number of breeding ewes.
