A New York Sun reporter has had' an
Interview with a wild beast tamer, from
whom we gather the following facte :
"When you want to train lions, or
tigers, or leopards, or hyenas, the pre
paratory steps in all oases are the same.
Yon first get them nsed to yon from the
ontside of the cage, feeding and water
ing them, r peaking to them and some
times touching them through the bars
when they are in-such positions that
they cannot readily get hold of you.
Then you go into the cage to sweep it
out. Keep your broom going never
let them get near enough to you to smell
of yon, or they will snatch you the in
stant after and make them pass you,
driving them about with a whip. W hen
you have them thoroughly familiarized
with your presenoe you may begin their
education. Some trainer in old times
used to clip their claws and put muzzles
on them, but I never did, and never
considered it any use, except, perhaps,
in the case of a leopard that you are
training to jump on your back. Wheth
er yon clip their claws or not, a tiger or
a lion, especially the lion, has force
enough in his arm to mash a man down
almost as you would a fly. And it isn't
right, for the animal needs his claws.
They nre his forks to hold his meat with
when he ents. As for the muzzle, Le
knows whether he has it on or not, just
as well as you do, and the memory of it
has no influence on him when it is notou.
You can't teach wild beasts any great
variety of tricks. You make them rear
up in the corners of the cage, jump over
your whip, through a hoop or bnloon,
or over you, or each other, and you sit
down on them, and that about exhausts
their capabilities for learning. To make
them jump you hold a stick and drive
them over it with your whip, holding it
low at first and gradually raising it. If
you want them to go through a hoop,
hold it with a gate set in under it bo
they can't go beneath, and whin them
through. If you want an animal to rear
up, it may be necessary to have a rope
or chain dropped through the roof of
the cage and either swing about its neck
or fastened to a collar, and when you
whip it and order it to stand up, have a
couple of men above to haul up and
make it stand on its hind legs. After a
few times the rope will not be necessary.
See my splendid tigresses, how they
stand up. They were trained that way.
You must always make them do the same
thing in the same place that is, in the
same corner or in the center of the cage.
If you want to sit on a lion or tiger, got
the animal trained to remain quiet in
one place while you stroke it gently, at
first with the whip, next with your hand,
and finally you can press on it, and at
last sit down on its haunches, but never
cease to keep a sharp look-out upon it
for the slightest sign of treachery. The
old Van Ambnrgh feat of a man putting
his head in a lion's mouth is safest done
with a very docile old lion, well fed and
toothless as possible, but it may be done
with some risk, of course to a young
er brute if he is very good natured, and
you work up to it by gradual familiar
ities about his head, opening his mouth,
and so on. With a tiger the best plan
is to let it alone. When you feed them
scraps of meat while you are in the cage,
never take in much, and of that you
have, see that it is free from bones and
cut in such small chunks that one of
them may be swallowed nt a single
schloop. Toss it to them. Don't hold
it in your hand, or they'll take hand and
all, without noticing the difference, per
haps. Firing guns and pistols always
exoites them, but I can't say that I
think it frightens them at all after they
have found out once that it does not
hurt them. You must watch them all
the time. Never trust them for an in
stant. If you study them as you should
and know your business properly, you
will understand their every look and
motion, every curl of the lip, switch of
the tail, tremor of the muscles, and
quiver of the cruel claws. All those
things are the animal's language, and if
it is strange to you so much the worse
for you. For instance, you may whip a
lion for five minutes when he is sulking
in a corner without any danger, and
then suddenly you see the look warning
you that one blow more will bring him
on you with the force of a thunderbolt
and the mad fury of a demon. No, it is
pot a threatening look at you, and it
isn't emphasized with any growl. He
just sits up and seems to gaze off into
the distance, with a far-away, dreamy
look in his eyes. Strike him then and
you will hnvo to battle for your life in a
second after. Affect to disregard him
and turn your whip to another beast,
and in a few moments his fear of you
may return to him, and his desperate
courage will have gone. -But you must
be able to see when that time comes
again. A lion is a bod animal to have
any misunderstandings with.
"There is no truth in those stories
that sometimes get about of animal
tamers wearing shirts of mail and thick
clothing. Cooper used to wear sole
leather leggings, but I never thought
they were any good. So far as safety is
concerned, I'd just as lieve go naked
among the animals if they had once got
used to seeing me outside' that way. But
whatever else you do or don't wear,
never go among them without something
in your hand to strike them. After they
are onoe trained a stick, or even a straw,
will do, until they find out that it doesn't
hurt them. When that time comes
though especially if you are among
tigers look out Remember always
the law of love is unknown to them, and
nothing can be relied upon except ter
ror. The more cruel you are wheu
cruelty is needed, and with judgment, of
course, the longer you will probably
live among them. There are some crazy
beasts that you can never tame. We
have a lion of that sort here. No kind
ness can reach him; no force short of
death could subdue him. We call him
crazy, but he is just devilish, and that
he always will be. He lives for nothing
but the hope of killing somebody or
something. Once in Augusta, Ga., he
got out, bounded over into a pen twelve
feet high whore a yak was confined, and
killed that yak in less than forty seconds.
He never looses a chance to make a grab
at anybody he thinks may be within
reaching distance. There never was a
wickeder brute, but he is a splendid
looking one. Just see him, and take
caret Man alive, that was a close caJl I
He wasn't asleep, but just pretending."
The four tigresses trained for per
formances are deemed worth $32,000,
but a good tiger, unbroken, is not worth
more than $2,500. Lions are worth
about $2,000 to $2,600 each: uantherR.
$600; jaguars, $400; hyenas, $250, if
untrained; leopards, $250 to 400, accord
ing to their kind. The cheetah, or
hunting leopard, would be worth $1,200,
probably, but there is not one in this
country to-day. Mr. Reiohe, four 'or
five years ago, imported two, and sold
them for about $2,500, but they Lave
both died of consumption, a disease that
carries off more tropical animals in men
ageries than al other causes combined,
FOR THE TOUKG PEOPLE.

Onoe trap was baited
With a pieoe of cheese;
It tickled io a little monie
It almost made him sneeze t
An old rat said, " There's danger,
Be careful where yon go 1"
' Nonsense I" said the other,
" I don't think yon know 1"
Bo he walked in boldly
Nobody In sight
First he took a nibble,
Then he took a bite,
Close the trap together
Snapped as quick as wink,
Catohing mousey fast there,
'Cause he didn't think.
Onoe a Httle.turkey,
Fond other own way,
Wouldn't ask the old ones
Where to go or stay
She said, " I'm not ft baby,
Ilere I am half-grown;
Snrely I am big enongh
To ran about alone 1"
Off she went, but somebody
Hidiog saw her pass;
Boon like snow her feathers
Covered all the grass.
So Bhe made a suppor
For ft sly young mink,
'Cause she was so headstrong
That she wouldn't think.
Onoe there was ft robin,
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to go inside
And hop upon the floor.
" Ho, no," said the mother,
" You must stay with me;
Little birds are safest
Sitting in a tree."
" I don't care," Baid Robin,
And gave his tail fling,
' I don't think the old folks
Know quite everything."
Down he flew, and Kitty seized him,
Before he'd time to blink.
" Oh," he cried, "I'm sorry,
But I didn't think."
Now, my little children,
You who read this song,
Don't you see what troub.e
Comes from thinking wrong?
And can't you take a warning m
From their dreadful fate,
Who began their thinking
When it was too late ?
Don't think there's always safety
Where no danger shows,
Don't suppose you know more
Than anybody knows; '
But when you're warned of ruin,
Pause upon the brink.
And don't go under headlong,
'Cause you didn't think.

"Doodle Bars."
It is a known fact that nearly every
thing in nature likes music; snakes have
danced to it, mice have come from their
holes and listened with rapt attention,
and even bugs are not insensible.
" We call the Doodle Bugs up any
time we have a mind," said some little
girls to me one day when I was teaching
school in Western Virginia.
"Doodle Bugs?" said I. "I never
heard of such things."
" Would you like to see them ?" asked
one.
" Most assuredly," I answered.
Then the little girl led me forth to the
ruins of an old log school-house, roofless
and floorless, and, joining hands, they
squatted upon the ground, forming a
ring, and began chanting in the most
musical tones they cnuld command:
" Uncle Doodle, Uncle Doodle, Uncle
Do-o-dle Hugs .'"
I looked on in astonishment, for I
could see nothing but hard baked earth.
There seemed not a living thing visible ;
bat the children kept up their chant
some three or four minutes, when I
noticed the ground began to heave in
little spots and tiny heads peeped out,
soon followed by half or the whole body
of a dirt colored beetle.
When the children stopped singing
the little things scampered back into
their holes.
This struck me as very singular. But
then we are constantly meeting with
strange things in Bugdom. It is like
fairy laud if we only become interested.
There are many, many kinds of beetles
called coleopterous insects, because they
have wing cases; that is they have shells
or cases on their backs, under which they
fold their wings, some kinds using them
so very seldom that we would never
know that they had wings. A great
many live under ground, and others on
the trees, flowers and grain. Indeed,
there is scarce a place where you may
not find them.
All of you know that the ugly cater
piller becomes a butterfly, but some of
you may not know that nearly every
worm you can find, turns out some day
to be a creature with wings.
Almost every child who has lived in
the country has noticed, and perhaps
been very much amused with the Bill
Chafer, or Tumble Bug, as we call it
here in New Jersey. How they seem to
be playing with marbles right in the
middle of the road on hot, dusty days !
How they push and tumble, and get
their jackets all dusty in their efforts 1
Sometimes it takes two or three beetles
to roll their ball up an elevation or ovet
some impediment in the way.
Did you never wonder what all such
work meant, or did you suppose it was
just the way those bugs have of amusing
themselves? I can remember when I
thought so myself. But after I became
older I began to woudor where the bugs
got the balls, what they were made of,
and what they were going to do with
them. I have since found it out, and it
is all very interesting.
They make the balls out of the excre
tions of animals, in which they deposit
an egg, leaving it in the sun until it is
baked almost as hard as a marble; then
begins their work. They toil and strug
gle until they get the balls three feet
under ground. Then the little one is
left in its spherical home from early
September until the next spring, as
warm and oozy as you please, growing
larger and larger until it bursts from its
shell, a little worm with six legs, and
creeps up to the surface of the ground;
or, as some say, they remain in the balls
until they become chrysalids, and come
out beetles or tumble bugs, ready to be
gin tumbling and pushing like their
mothers before them. A. E. C. Ander-ion.

properties (it was supposed to drive

length been the object of special inves
tigation at scientific hands. It is found
that there are no medical properties in
the plant itself. The immensely rapid
growth requijes an immense supply of
moisture, and, hence, the plants make

the roots for moisture. In so far as

THE BATTLE OF SEDAN.
Victor Iloao'e Denerlpilon of the
Croat
Mermaa Victory.
Let us define the situation.
The Germans have numerical strength
on their side; they are three to one, four,
perhaps; they confess to having 250,000
men, but it is oeitain that their line of
attack was thirty kilometres in length;
they hold the positions, crowd the
heights, fill the forests, they are covered
by all the steeps, they are masked by all
the shadows, they have matchless artil
lery. The French army is in a hollow,
almost without artillery and ammuni
tion, naked under their grape-shot. The
Germans have ambush on their side, the
French have on theirs nothing but he
roism. It is a fine thing to die, but a
good thing to surprise.
This achievement at arms is a sur
prise. Is it fair war ? Yes, but if this be fair
war, what is foul war ?
The same thing.
Thus much said, the battle of Sedan
is recounted.
We would stop here. But we cannot.
Great though the horror of the historian
be, history is a duty, and duty must be
fulfilled. There is no more imperious
slope than this; to tell the truth, who
ever ventures upon it rolls to the bot
tom. It must be so. The judge is
doomed to justice.
The battle of Sedan is more than a
battle which is fought; it is a syllogism
which finishes itself; dread premedita
tion of destiny. Fate never hurries,but
always attains its goal. Its hour strikes
and it is there. It lets years go by.then,
when least thought of, it appears. Sedan
is the fatal unexpected. From time to
time, in history, divine logio makes sor
ties. Sedan is one of these sorties.
So, on the 1st of September, at five
o'clock in the morning, the world awoke
under the sun and the French army
under the thunderbolt.
Bayeilles takes fire, Givonne takes
fire, Floing takes fire; the thing begins
by a furnace. The whole horizon is
aflame. The French camp is in this
crater, stupefied, seared, startled, in a
funeral swarm. A ring of thunderbolts
encircles the army. Extermination hems
it in.
This immense murder is carried on on
all sides at once. The French resist,
and they are terrible, for they have
nothing left them but despair. Our guns,
almost all old-fashioned and carrying
badly, are immediately dismounted by
the terrible and precise aim of the Prus
sians. The density of the rain of shells
upon the valley is such that " the earth
is ruled," says a witness, " as by a rake. "
How many guns? Eleven hundred, at
least. Twelve German batteries on the
Moncelle only; the third and fourth
abtheilung, a frightful artillery on the
crests of Givonne, with the Second Horse
Battery in a reserve; opposite Doigny.ten
Saxon and two Wurtemberg batteries;
the curtain of trees in the wood north of
Villers-Cernay conceals the mounted
abtheilung with the Third Heavy Artil
lery as a reserve, and from this gloomy
thicket is poured a formidable fire; the
twenty-four pieces of heavy artillery
form a battery in the clearing near the
road from La Moncelle to La Chapelle;
the battery of the Royal Guird sets fire
to the wood de la Garenne; the bombs
and the bullets riddle Suchy, Franche
val, Fauru-Saint Rerny, and the valley
between Heibes and Givonne; and the
triple and quadruple row of guns ex
tend, without a break, to the calvary of
Illy, the most remote point of the hori
zon. The German soldiers, seated or re
cumbent before the batteries, look upon
the artillery doing its work. The French
soldiers fall and die. Among the corpses
which cover the plane is one, thot of an
officer, upon which they find, after the
battle, a sealed paper containing this
order, signed by Napoleon: "This Sep
tember 1 rest for the whole army." The
valiant Thirty-fifth Regiment of the Line
disappears almost entirely under the
crushing mass of shells; the brave mari
nes hold the Saxons and Bavarians in
check for an instant, but being overflow
ed on all sides, fall back; the whole ad
mirable cavalry of Margueritte's Divi
sion, hurled against the German infantry,
stops and breaks down when half way
on its road, exterminated, says the Prus
sian report, " by well directed and quiet
fire." This filled of carnage has three
issues, all of which are closed: the Bouil
lon road by the Prussian Guard, the
Carignan road by the Bavarians, and the
Mezrieres road by the vVurtembergers.
The French have not thought of barricad
ing the viaduct of the railroad; three Ger
man battalions have occupied it all night;
two isolated houses on the Balan road
might have been the pivot of a prolonged
resistance, but the Germans hold them;
the Montvillors Park, at Bayeilles, deep
and full of thick foilage, might have pre
vented the Saxons, who are masters of
La Moncelle, and the Bavarians, who
are masters of Bayeilles from effecting a
junction, but the French have been fore
stalled, and the Bavarians are seen there,
cutting away the hedges with their
sickles.
The Gorman army moves all of a piece
with absolute unity: the Prince of Sax
ony is on the hill of Mairy, whence he
commands the scene. In the French
army the command oscillates at the out
set of the battle; at 5.45 McMahon is
wounded by the fragment of a shell; at
seven o'clock Ducrot takes his place; at
ten o'clock Wimpfen takes Ducrot's.
From minute to minute the wall of
fire approaches, the thunder-roll is con
tinuous, a sinister pulverizing of 90,000
""'mug use ii was ever witness
ed never did an army sink under such
a falling mass of grape. Atone o'clock
all is lost. The regiments take refuge,
pell-mell, in Sedan. But Sedan begins
to burn; Le Disjonval burns, the ambu
lances burn; nothing but a dash
through the lines is possible. Wimpfen,"
oruve ana nrm, suggests it to the JSm
poror. The thirty-eight zouaves, mad
dened, have set the example, being
parted from the remainder of the army,
they have made their way through the
foe and reached Belgium. A plight of
lions.
Suddenly, above the disaster, above
the enormous heap of slain and dying
men, above all this hapless heroism ap
pears shame. The white flag is hoisted.

AN OLD-TIME ADVERTISEMENT.
The Variety Faralabrd by Country Mtere
Seventy Tear Ao.
The Boston Journal says : " In look
ing over an old copy of the Norfolk
Repotitofy, published at Deadham,
Mass., in 1805 by Herman Mann, the
following rhymed advertisment brought
to mind some reminiscences of the
author, who, for many years, was a
prominent and nsefnl citizen of Norfolk
County. Samuel Temple, born in
Orange, Mass., May, 1770, was gradu
ated from Dartmouth College. He was
an excellent teacher, a ready writer and
the author of several standard books,
among which were "Temple's Arith
metic," and a primary reader entitled
" The Child's Assistant," both of which
enjoyed great popularity. He was also
the author of several musio books. Later
in life he kept for several years a coun
try store in a building then standing on
a portion of the site of "Thayer
Tavern," at Dorchester and Milton
Lower Mills. He afterward removed
across the bridge into Milton, where he
died in 1815. The arch alluded to in
the advertisement was erected over the
bridge at the dividinar line of the towns
of Dorchester and Milton to commemo
rate the 'ratification of Jay's Treaty, al
though not built until two years after that
notable event. It bore in letters of gold
the following inscription : " We unite
in defense of our country and of its laws,
1798." The zeal and spirit with which
the event was celebrated is still fresh in
the traditions of the locality. The ad
vertisement is a true picture of an old
time country store, and as such can
hardly fail of interesting all classes of
readers, apart from the rhyming art so
freely displayed :

An Inn In Japan.
The certainty of having a pleasant
resting-place after the toil and trouble of
the day is one of the charms of pedestri
anism in Japan. From the moment the
threshold is crossed to the moment of
departure the visitor is the object of un
ceasing solicitude on the part of every
one connected with the establishment,
from highest to lowest If it is mid-day,'
and he has arrived hot, dusty, and a
little tired, after a long morning's tramp,
the whole force of the establishment
ushers the visitor into a pretty, light
apartment, looking on to one of those
marvellous miniature gardens in which,
covering a space of a few feet, the
mountains, woods, rivers, and floods of
an entire province are represented. By
one neatly dressed, pleasant looking
damsel his boots are taken off and his
feet bathed in hot water; a second fans
him and keeps up a voluble patter of
conversation ; a third on her knees offers
him refreshing tea and sweetmeats;
while tbo host himself, with another de
tachment of waitresses, is helping the
coolies to unpack the box containing the
European food. Everything that meets
the eye is contrived to please it. There
are vases with flowers dotted about; from
the wood-work outside are suspended
gayly-colored lanterns, or festoons of
glass through which the wind makes a
soothing musio, so that by the time the
traveler has finished his repast, has
smoked a pir e, and perhaps drunk a cup
of " Saki with the host, ho feels thor
