Lincoln park , Chicago , is perhaps the only
place in the world where ono may llnd a
dancing crane , and this no old-fashloucd ,
humdrum follower of Terpsichore either ,
but a thorough , up-to-dato skirt dancer.
' Itomeo and Juliet have a snug little house
and yard nil to themselves , and Iloruco is
a most sedate bird , who maintains the
household dignity by deliberately walking
up to you and pecking you In the back
vhllo you watch the frivolous Juliet go
through her fantastic poses. Hut Juliet Is
altogether another story. Her keeper has
only to trill a little roundelay , to bow and
scrape , nnd perhaps toss a stick or two
In the air , for the gay creature to spread
her wings from the top of her long neck
to the tip of her ungainly toes for all the
world , after the manner of Lolo Fuller with
her petticoats nnd begin n system of pl-
rouetlng , of nodding , winking and blinking ,
of tip-toeing , curvetting , whirling , of rhyth
mically spreading and cloglng her wings ,
manipulating them as easily and deftly 'as
though they were yards ot china silk In-
etead of quill and bone.
Like La Lolo , Mine. Juliet's talent seems
to have been heaven born , and her most
( etching poses and steps are quite her own
invention ,
* A I.loii'n Gratitude.
Rut the dancing crane Is not the park's
only claim to distinction. Nowhere elss
was It ever even attempted to pull a lion's
tooth. But 'Major ' was such a dear ! Beau
tiful and majestic beyond most kings of
beasts , and then so gentle. In all his long
residence at the pork ho had never shown
a trace of his savage inheritance. And
Major was suffering horrible from the tooth
ache. This was more than his devoted
friend and keeper , Cy Do Vay , could stand ,
o elaborate preparations were made for ex
tracting the tooth. It was not deemed ad
visable to give him chloroform , and the
poor beast had to be tied down , his fore
feet to one bar of the cage , his hind feet to
Another.
I can assure you , the unfortunate veterln.
ary looked shaky enough at the thought of
entering the cage to begin operations upon
that magnificent , powerful head. However ,
accompanied by the fearless keeper , and
armed with a pair of long forceps , such as
ti used In pulling the teeth of horses , In ho
vent. H proved to h n pretty difficult
and painful process , as the tooth broke oft
three times before It was all removed. Then
the keeper sponged , cleansed and treated
the mouth carefully , but he took good care
to get out of the cage before liberating
Major , not knowing what effect the some
what prolonged agony might have had upon
his temper.
After an hour or so ho entered the cage ,
when ho was quite overcome by the big fel
low's warm protestations of gratitude. Evi
dently the pain was all gone and Major took
his keeper In his arms , hugged him closely ,
lay his great head upon his shoulder , patted
him gently with his big paws , until ho fairly
brought the tears to his keeper's eyes , a
thing "Cy" declares no animal ever did be
fore.
I.Ion Ilrccillnir.
Chicago Is , by the way , the great center
for raising lions In thU country. Many fine
specimens have been sold from Lincoln park.
Cubs up to 6 months old bring about $123
nnd a full-grown pair from $700 to $1.000.
The little ones have to be looked after very
carefully , for when the mother does not kill
them purposely as vicious ones frequently
J do she Is in danger of slaying them by cx-
j cess of affection. -
The tongue of a lioness Is , for example ,
very rough and harsh nnd the loving mother
Is much given to licking the bodies of her
llttlo ones , often keeping them quiet raw by
BO doing. The clever keeper has , however ,
hit upon a way of protecting the young cubs
from this unwelcome caressing , He first
tried making them llttlo leather coats , but
they were licked to shreds in a few days.
Now ho gives them a coating of tar , for
; which Mamma Lion has no taste. It docs
I not , however , prevent her carrying them In
. her mouth , resting against her tusks , for
I hours together , while she paces to and fro
In her cage , a form of amusement which evi
dently greatly bores the little ones.
Ono curious phenomenon marks all the an
imals In the park. They are never fed on
Sunday and by what mental process they keep
track of the days Is a mystery , but , though
on all other days of the week they grow
restive and pace eagerly up and down their
cages as feeding time approaches , on Sun
days they He perfectlly quiet and unex-
pectant. Lions , ns a rule , cat about twenty-
eight pounds of meat at a meal , which con
stitutes their whole diet , except twice a
week , when they have a quart of cod liver
oil for dessert. This they evidently consider
a very great delicacy.
C > -'M Opinion.
"Only an animal lover can be a successful
keeper , " remarked the famous "Cy , " as ho
conducted me from ono quarter to another.
"I never had any more fear of Major than
of a kitten , and would have slept with him
any time. Still , I suppose , one ought never
to count upon the fidelity of any beast of
prey. I felt equally sure of my pet bear ,
Jack. Wo had been the best of friends for
years , so that I fell Into the habit of going
Into his cage without so much as a whip.
Hut one day he suddenly attacked me , and
only after the fiercest kind of a fight did
I escape by the 'skin of my teeth. '

I knew , but I could not get a chance at it.
After chewing the calf of my leg to a
Icily , he had his teeth through my upper
arm and was trying to get his arms around
me. We had rolled over on the ground to-
; ether , first one , then the other uppermost ,
but were again on our -feet. Just at this
point a bystander thre'w a rake into the
: agc , which attracted Jack's attention. Ho
oosed his grip for a moment , and I seized
ho opportunity to hit him a good blow In
he middle of the nose with my naked fist.
This completely stunned him , nnd I scrnm-
> lcd out of the cage. From that day to this ,
Jack and I have not been friends. I have
never been in his den since , and he has
never forgiven that blow. You will notice

very curious , but I have never been able

then back to the starting place to begin all
over again. You can see how both the head

"By hygienic living you cannot eradicate
your rheumatism , but you can most as
suredly so control It that > our existence Will
bo almost free from its torturing pains. "
That is what Dr. Leyden of the University
of Berlin said to an American , who feela
sure that ho has endured far more from
his aching bones than ever did St. Lawrence
on his gridiron , or St. Sebastien with his
arrows. To Dr. Loyden ho had gene as
the Jcadlng authority on rheumatism In
Europa , and after having been told by many
eminent physicians that he must grin and
bear his affliction with all the philosophy
ho might , when hope and the cfllcacy of
drugs ebbed low , the eminent German's
opinion seemed almost too good to be true.
Now , when the professor squared off nnd
looked over his patient bo well nigh chilled

the American's heart by beginning to jot
items down on. an ominous-looking llttlo
pad. It was not , however , prescriptions
ho wrote. "Wo don't give any medicine
In such cases as yours , " said the doctor.
"What you need Is diet and exorcise and
plenty of both. The rheumatic who lives
p , sedentary life and feasts daintily Is bound
to come to a very bad end. Hearty , frequent -
quont , well-chosen meals and much bust
ling about in the open air are absolute es
sentials to a cure. The prime cause of
rheumatism is indigestion , and though you
may cat prodigious weals , if your stomach
does not assimilate what 1s given It , you
nro quite as poorly nourished as the man
who gets but a crust a day.
"As to what you can and cannot eat here
Is the rule ; Of meats you must deny your
self heavy , dark flesh. Under this head Is
itemized mutton , venison , goose and any
thing that Is cut off a pig. Devote > our-
self to chicken , lamb , game , sweet breads ,
brains , and the more dellcato fish , when
simply cooked and served without rich
fauces. Avoid lobsters and crabs , but en

fried dlth. Of vegetables never touchitoma-

EflTout of Fruit.
"Strawberries , raw pears and raw apples
are cut off from the rheumatic , however
wholesome they may bo for others , and
strangely enough , where grape and orange
Juice will set a man's Joints to throbbing ,
ho can help himself safely and freely to
lemon nnd lime juice. A divine healing
quality is found in the ncld of both these
fruits. There Is but one sentence to cover
the use of sugar : Don't cat It in any form
whatsoever. Americans make the best sweet
meats in the world and suffer most cruelly
from their use of them.
"Almost as sweeping a denunciation maybe
bo made of all liquids save water and milk.
Beer , claret , port and champagne act ns a
sort of poison on the rheumatic system , nnd ,
though whisky and brandy , gin and rum are
not so Injurious If taken sparingly and at
long Intervals , they are best abjured and
water and milk substituted. In the past ten |
years mineral waters have been consumed In
enormous quantities by rheumatics In the I
belief that they afforded especial aid , and
'
they are efficacious , chiefly , though , from the
fact that they are very pure and that the
use of them Induces a patient to Imbibe an
unusual quantity of sweet cleansing liquid.
"I am willing to say that where mineral
waters are not easily obtained any pure
water , taken attho , rate of two or three
quarts a day , has an equally salutary effect
on the system. It must bo pure , however ,
and filtcied , if there are any doubts about
Its cleanliness. This liquid , taken slouly , In
small tumblcrsful and for the most part be
tween meals , will largely serve the purpose
of mineral water , Not more than a tumbler
ful Is wholesome at each meal and It Is best
not to take the water Just before going or |
Immediately after eating or on getting Into
bed.
"As I told you at first , a rheumatic must
bo noui shed and most especially ono who
has a languid appetite. Three meals a day
Is not enough for such n patient. Between
breakfast and lunch and between lunch and
dinner a fresh egg , beaten up In sweet , fresh
milk , Is an excellent stimulant , more valua- j
bio than all the milk punches ever devised.
All these reasonable courses do not lead to
i
a cure , though , unless exercise , that is , rcg- !
ular and ne\cr stinted , Is taken every day.

"For example , when rheumatism attacks
the knees , to swim , to blcyclo or play golf
simply overtaxes the tortured nerves and mus
cles , but If jou will take a cane and walk
quietly for a mlle or two , if the weather Is
dry take your gun and go prowling through
fields and woods In search of game , or , lack
ing an interest in that , try and cultivate a
taste for hunting botanical or entomological I
specimens , the exorcise then serves as n
tonic. The main point Is to use the mus
cles regularly. In wet weaih'r bedroom
gymnastics servo aa an excellrn substltuto
for thcmoro intelligent outdoorpieasures.but
only In wet weather. Care must be taken
| never to exercise so violently that any dan-
I gcr is incurred from cooling off too sud-
I denly.
"The average American puts considerable
I faith In baths , and naturally prefers tha
I stimulating cold water. This is well i
enough when the twinges are not severe ami
the joints not swollen. In violent attacks
of rheumatism It Is most essential to avoid
cold water and substltuto a hot dally bath ,
dissolving In the water a pleco of sulphur
as big as a hen's egg. Such a bath may not
Bcem so invigorating as the cold water , but
if taken rnpldly , followed by brisk toweling ,
with no sudden after exposure for an hour
to any cold air or drafts , the hot dip is as
bracing as ! the fold.
"Last on the list of aids to the rheu-
malic is massage. It is ono of the few
real aids to relief In scvero attacks.
Amateur rubbing Is often of as great Injury

seuse can help an Invalid ovcrjthe hardest
places , and really help to tone up the sys
tem. A rheumatic must , moroo\cr , submit
to the unpleasant bondage of flannels not
the thick flwnthlngs that the patient Amer
ican , In his steam-heated house , dutifully
puts on in October and wearB until the
first of June , hut close , light weight flannels ,
and in so changing a cllnmto as that of the
northern states every rheumatic should own
several sets of flannel of various degrees ot
weight. These must bo shifted off imd on
as the thermometer rises and , falls , so that
at no time need the body bo exposed or over-
clothed , but invariably carefully protected.
This Is the whole tactics of war against
rheumatism , and It's the only way , " nays
Dr. Lejden , "that modern science can as-
bumo to battle such a dlro enemy to human
well being. " IIo Insists that whoever will
