BARNUMS METHODS
The Showman Always on tho Alert
For an Advertisement
Out morning the newspapers an
nounced that grave fours wore enter
tained for the safety of an agent of
Barnums big show who had gone to
Africa to seek attractions for It in
their native lairs News had come It
was said that In had last been beard
from In a predicament from which es
cape was practically Impossible It
was a very sad piece of business alto
gether
Mi Ilarmun was at a hotel in New
York city at the time and there
a relative of the unfortunate agent
found him entertaining a squad of re
porters with a most Interesting version
of the African tragedy The caller
knew his man and waited patiently
until the Interviewers had departed
Then he anxiously asked for news
Oh dont be worried said the
showman Ive just got intelligence
that hes safe and sound and will be
back here In a few weeks
But he has a great many friends
here objected the visitor and this
report of his death will cause them
much sorrow
Mr Rarmim looked solemn for an
Instant and then he chuckled Well
he exclaimed cheerfully just think
of this theyll be all the happier when
he gets back here alive
SEA
MONSTERS
OF OLD
The Marine Monster That Was
Thought to Cause Tidal Waves
The kraken was one of the sea mon
sters of old and if all the stories told
about its wondrous size and doings
are true it overshadowed the serpent
as much as the latter does the common
garter snake An old writer says that
this marine giant caused tidal waves
jy swallowing a goodly part of the
waters of the ocean and then belching
them out again De also makes men
tion of the fact that its gigantic horny
beak was often mistaken for mountain
peaks suddenly shoved into sight by
the internal convulsions of the earth
Ltishop Pontoppklan a truthful mem
ber of the Copenhagen Royal academy
is much more conservative in his esti
mates of its size giving it as his opin
ion that they were seldom found more
than the half of an Italian mile in
length and not larger in diameter than
the cathedral at The Hague
He also says that its bedy was fre
quently mistaken by sailors for an
island so that people landed upon it
and were engulfed in a maelstrom of
water when the creature sank to its
hidden ocean den Other authorities
testify that its beak from the eyes to
the point was longer than the main
mast of a man-of-war
The Sewing Machine
The invention of the sewing ma
chine is one of the most interesting
evolutionary romances in the history
of human progress Stone Henderson
and Greenough had experimented ex
tensively with the double pincher idea
one to seize the needle below and one
above Heilmann used a double point
ed needle with the eye in the center
and Thimmonier and Ferrand had in
vented a chain stitch machine In
1S34 Walter Hunt originated the ex
tension arm idea with a needle similar
to the one now in general use but be
fore he applied for his patent in 1S54
he had been forestalled by Elias Howe
who will always be known as the in
ventor of the sewing machine If
Hunt had not been so great a laggard
he might have won fame as an in
ventor but Howe Is entitled to all the
credit that has been given him Like
all great inventions however the sew
ing machine was the product of many
minds New York Tribune
Throwing the Shoe
The peasants of southern France
have the credit of originating the fa
miliar custom of throwing an old shoe
after the newly wedded pair It was
moreover the rejected suitor who first
made it popular The peasant bride is
conducted by her friends to her new
home while the young husband is
made to halt a couple of hundred
yards from the house If there is a
rejected suitor he then arms himself
with an old wooden shoe and flings it
with his best aim -at the bridegroom
as he makes a dash for the house
When the shoe is thrown it is under
stood that the last feeling of 111 will
has been flung away with it

The authors greatest difficulty lies
In the necessity of directing an actors

without humiliating the actor In the
presence of his professional brethren
Many years ago 1 was engaged in
rehearsing a burlesque and a very
clever young lady had to sing the coup

Indubitably if you do
It will be the worse for you
The clever young lady whose pro
nunciation was not always beyond re
proach delivered the lines thus
Indubitubly if you do
It will be the worse for you
This of course would not do so I
determined to alter the word to In
evitably The young lady agreed that
the alteration greatly improved the
verse but she was not to be deprived
of her tub so she sang it
Inevitubly if you do
It will be the worse for you
This was just as bad so 1 made it
unquestionably and of course it
came out
UiHiuestlonubly if you do
It will be the worse for you
I could think of no other word that
would answer the purpose so as a
last resource I said to her
Do you think it advisable to give
the word its French accent
How do you mean
Why uuquestionublyj thats the
way it is pronounced in Paris In ad
dressing an English audience perhaps
the simple English version of the word
would be better Try it at all events
unquestionably a instead of u
Uuquestionubly would be all very
well for the stalls but the gallery
wouldnt understand it
Of course she said the English
accent would certainly be more appro
priate
And site sang it unquestionably

A TUSK HUNTERS ESCAPE
So Close a Call the Native Really
Thought Himself Dead
Hunting elephants for their tusks in
volves courage patience and infinite
cunning Frequently the hunter be
comes the hunted and the tables may
be turned fatally A writer in Mc
Clures Magazine tells of an escape
vouched for by an Indian dealer who
never lied about anything and who
claims to have seen this deliverance
exactly as he reported it
Some natives were hunting elephants
in the neighborhood of Lake Rudolph
and he was with them for the purpose
of trading cotton cloth for ivory Ele
phants like old bunch grass that has
become dry like hay and a herd of
them attracted by dry grazing as it
is called came suddenly within an
eighth of a mile of the camp
One native named Tuma from the
coast au unskilled hunter observing
that the wind was in such a direction
that it blew news of the herd to him
rather than blowing his whereabouts
to the knowledge of the herd ran out in
the open with his rifle and aimed at
short range at a powerful creature
which was watering a straggling
shrub with water he had taken in his
trunk from the pond
Once hit the elephant was corre
spondingly furious and rushed at
Tuma after a deliberate scrutiny of
the immediate foreground to discover
his whereabouts Having determined
where his assailant stood he tore along
crazy with rage toward the shaking
savage
Tuma with an orientals instinct of
prostration before such an overwhelm
ing force merely threw himself flat
upon the ground
The elephant rushed completely over
him but by accident left him safe
although choked and blinded with the
disturbed and sandy soil The great
feet cleared him and the tusks missed
him
Almost twenty four hours passed be
fore Tuma dared believe himself alive
and sound and for the first twelve
hours after the excitement he spoke of
himself only in the past tense as of
one dead

Afraid of Ghosts
Ethics and Morality
If a womans husband has been silly
enough to take more wine than is good
for him morality would lead her to
send him to bed Ethics would lead
her to send him to Coventry And
ethology would probably lead her to
send him to a penal settlement for in
ebriates
If a mans wife throws a teapot at
him as happened recently in the aris
tocratic neighborhood in which I live
morality would lead him to go out of
the house for an hour or so and give
her nerVes a chance Ethics would
probably induce him to go out of the
town and write to her from a garden
city that their temperaments were in
compatible What ethology would
make him do I hardly dare to think

TEACHING HORSES TO JUMP
There Are Three Methods Used Coax
ing Lunging and Driving
There are three methods of teaching
a horse to leap coaxing lunging and
driving In the coaxing method the
young horse is turned into a small
paddock having a low hedge or hurdle
across the center In plain view ot
the pupil a rider on a veteran jumper
should take him over the hurdle sev
eral times
Th trainer then goes to the opposite
side with a measure of corn or oats
and calls the horse shaking up the
grain and pouring it with his band
back and forth in the receptacle The
boundary will soon be cleared and
when a few mouthfuls have been eat
en the station of the instructor should
be at the other side of the hurdle and
the lesson repeated If this be dove
daily the hurdle may be gradually
heightened
The habit of jumping is thus ac
quired without those risks which at
tend a novel performance when a
heavy burden oppresses the strength
and whip and spur distract the at
tention The horses body says Coun
try Life In America is not partially
disabled by the imposition of a heavy
load before the powers are taxed to
the utmost and his capabilities are un
fettered
The second method is termed lung
ing A long rein or cord is attached
to the bit and the animal is exercised
in a circle in which a hurdle has been
placed or a shallow ditch dug A long
lashed whip used only to keep him
in motion or lightly applied at the
proper moment will keep him up to
his work Soon the horse will enter
into the spirit of the occasion and by
unmistakable signs will manifest his
enthusnstic enjoyment of the exercise
The third method driving is exactly
what its name implies At first the
obstruction should be slight Any
open space will answer the purpose
an earth or sod surface or tanbark
being preferable Long reins a
straight bar or snaffle bit a long whip
and patience and perseverance are re
quired
All things considered the driving
method is the quickest and surest way
of teaching the horse to leap When
he has become somewhat proficient
having thoroughly learned what is re
quired of him the saddle may be
called into requisition and the prac
tical lessons begun
Almost any young horse can be
taught to leap Of course his profi
ciency will depend on the care bestow
ed on his training and on his general
characteristics of wind limb and rterve
An ordinary cob or Morgan will attain
the proficiency of an Irish hunter but
any horse that is used for i saddler
will be of far greater value to his own
er if he can be taken occasionally for
a cross country ride and put over
ditches and low obstructions
