THE TERRIER AND THE LIONS.
size Did Not Count s Regarded Ownership
of the Cage.
Kindness is powerful with animals ,
but I have often been led to think that
where kindness fails impudence con-
quers. In Lincoln park , Chicago , I saw
a lady put her hand on the heads of
three lions in succession and stroke
their ears as if they were kittens. They
growled when she pretended to leave ,
and when she returned they fought
among themselves for the first chance
of being petted'again. . But this lady
bad nursed these lions , and they seemed
to know her as a child knows its mother.
. There was a little Scotch terrier in
the cage with the same lions. He did
nothing but bark and snarl and snap at
them. One good swish of any one of
the three tails would have wiped him
out of existence. But he just ordered
the big-animals around as if he were
the lion and they the rat catchers. They
obeyed , although with the long deep
rumblings as of muffled thunder.
He was not a pretty dog , nor was his
voice calculated to make him many
friends. Ho was in no danger of being
worried by encores. I don't know that
he had any moral qualities worth bragging -
ging about. But he was Scotch. He had
the reputation of being a terror as well
as a terrier , and he had a broken leg.
Perhaps as an invalid he appealed to
the sympathies of his big companions.
This , however , would not account for
his insolent airs of superiority.
He took the best of the food. He got
the first and the last shake hands from
the lady. His barefaced impudence was
more powerful than all the kindness and
attention of the gentle nurse. And he
gave nothing for his living except his
bark. , For.tllo struggle of life he had no
equipment but impudence , and yet he
kept three lions in what must have been
literally a condition of galling servi-
tude. There is room somewhere here
for a moral. But . .sop is dead. And
when he lived he tacked morals only to
fables , where indeed 'they seem to be-

THE TELEPHONE DEADBEAT.
How lie Gradually Comes to Believe That
Ho Owns Your Instrument.
"If there is a variety of deadbeats , "
said an eminent citizen the other morning -
ing , "which annoys me more than all
others , it is the man who moves into
your building because you have a tele-
phone. At first he drops into your office
and tells you his wife bade him order a
steak before noon and that lie had forgotten -
gotten whether it was porterhouse or
sirloin. He says that a family across
the street from his house has a phone ,
and that with your permission he'll
just ring 'em up and have 'em send for
Mrs. % Walt , that doesn't bother you
much because you are thinking of the
family across the street , but in a week
or two Mrs. % . begins to call you up
with the request that you step across
the hall and bring her husband to the
phone. Then the husband begins to
drop in to telephone his commercial acquaintances -
quaintances until two-thirds of his entire -
tire business is done over your wire.
There is only one more step. One of his
agents is up , say , at Mount Morris , and
it is very necessary to communicate
with him immediately. As much as $4
may depend upon a word. Ho hurries
in and says of course you have connected -
ed with Mount Morris. It is marvelous
how man's inventions put the miles at
naught :
"While you are chalking up 25 cents
to profit and loss ho has become thepos-
sessor of your telephone. From that
time on , if you are using it when he
comes in , he waits impatiently and
gives you a look when you ring off as
much as to say , Sir , you are taking
liberties with my property which I
must resent. ' There are but two things
left to do-take out the telephone or
move out yourself. I am fond of my
offices , so the telephone had to go. ' -

A Cat's Breath.
All the feliday ' possess poisonous
breaths , intended by nature to act as an
anaesthetic on their prey. If a person
cares to experiment by inhaling , for instance -
stance , a cat's breath , they can easily realize -
alize the truth of this statement Carefully -
fully watch a cat playing with a captured -
tured mouse You will discover that
the mouse does not suffer , but is sort of
stupefied , as if by chloroform. In the
"Life of Livingstone , " written byhim-
self of explorations m Africa , he states
that once when he was seized by a lion
and his arm broken the crunching of
the broken arm gave him no pain , so benumbed -
numbed were his senses by the animal's
breath. A cat seeks the child for its
soft bed and the warmth of its bed and
lies down on the chest of the infant. Its
weight impedes respiration , its breath
anaesthetizes the child , and death fol-
lows. This circumstance has actually
occurred , and medical records conclusively -
sively prove it-Brooklyn Standard-
Union.
Sir Richard Owen and the Fakir.
A novel story of the late Sir Richard
Oweu is going the rounds. A snake
charmer at Cairo , reckoning without
his host , appeared before Sir Richard to
go through a deadly performance with
cerastes-the horned wasp. The reptile
was placed on the ground. Owen looked
at it a moment , then stepped forward
and picked it up. Before the luckless
performer could interpose the savant
plucked from its head its projecting
horns , which on closer inspection proved -
ed to be fishbones. The fakir was somewhat -
what disconcerted at the rapid unveiling -
ing of an actnallyharmless animal , and
the entertainment was withdrawn.-
