THE COST OF A MENAGERIE. SORTS OF WILD BEASTS THAT THBIVB BEHIND BARS. The Cat Tribes, Pachyderms, Bears and Kangaroos aro Profitable— Monkeys aro Delicate. "Animals of the cat tribe," said Mr. Bailey, partner of tho late P. T. Bar uum, "are always splendid stock. They are invariably hardy and long lived, and, Considering that most of them come from tropical countries, they stand hard ship and exposure to the vagaries of our climate remarkably well. They all live a dozen years in captivity, and often much longer. I know of lions now in cages in this country which have been hero from twenty-tivo to thirty years. Tigers are just about as long lived, and leopards and panthers are not far be hind. Lions and tigers, if well grown and healthy, are worth from SBOO to SI2OO apiece. A good pair of lions or tigers is an excellent investment. It •osts a pile to feed them, of course, but they reproduce so frequently that they pay well. A good tigress will produco two litters of cubs a year, four in each litter, of which at least half may be suc cessfully raised. Leopards and panthers generally eat their young, or at least kill them. "But you must bo very careful with your lions, tigers and leopards, though they are hardy. Their great danger lies in pneumonia, -which they are apt to catch on the slightest provocation in ways difficult to trace. Draughts kill by far the most of those who die prema turely. Their lungs were made for tropical air, and they catch cold easily. We have had groat success with all the iig cats. Our winter quarters are per fect and our cages are draught proof. Beside, we always feed them the best beef that can be had in the market. Zoos generally use horse meat, but I be lieve it pays to buy the best beef. With the best of treatment, though, they oc casionally mope and lose appetite. Then we give them a little fresh blood, still hot, to drink, and if that doesn't tone them up we drop a few live turkeys, chickeus or rabbits into their cages and let them do their own slaughtering. That always brings them into condition. "Elophants are oven better stock than the cats, so far as sturdiness and longev ity are concerned. They don't pay divi dends, though, for they almost never re produce in captivity. As far as I have ever learned, the baby elephant that was born is Mr. Barnum's show some years ago was the only one born in captivity. But elephants will stand nearly anything. They require comparatively littlo care and aro very useful, too, around the 6how. They pull and push and haul whenever needed and save no end of trouble and costly power. The time was a few years ago when elephants were tremendous attractions, and shows were popularly rated by the number of ele phants they carried with them. Now, however, they are a drug on the market —at least in America. The country's full of them, and I was very glad of the chance to sell ten of our herd to Europo several years ago and pack them off iu a it tight steamer. A good elephant here is worth from SISOO to S3OOO, according to his age, size, tcmper,and intelligence. In Europe a good elephant is worth from S2OOO to S3OOO. Few elephants dio natural deaths. Is they don't meet with some accideut, they get savage and dan gerous eventually, and have to be killed." "now about monkeys?" "Oh, monkeys aro very poor stock, but then they aie so cheap wo hardly take any account of them. Monkeys are weak-lunged, and keel over to pneu monia at any time. We expect that. So long as we stay in winter quarters, where there is au absolutely equable tempera ture, they do very well, but when we get on the road they dio off almost daily. The slightest draught may kill them, or a wet night or a sudden fall in the tem perature may suddenly almost deplete our stock. Besides that thoy are ex tremely subject to digestive disorders. We generally feed them carrots, potatoes, and the like, but they cftcn take sick unaccountably. People that feed them all sorts of trash iu spite of the keepers, help the monkeys to their death very materially. "Perhaps the most delicate animal is the giraffe. It is unfortunate, for there is no more striking an animal for show purposes. I havo one now, but only keep him with the greatest care. A food giraffe is well worth from $3500 to 5000. The eland is another exceeding ly delicate animal. In this he i9 an ex ception to all the other antelopes, which are splendid stock, hardy, long-lived and requiring next to no care. My eland is pining away, ne requires grazing and I left him in Bridgeport, hoping that it will restore him to health to turn him out this summer. But the eland is too delicate for show purposes, any way. As for other antelopes, the horned horse will live and grow fat till he gets knock kneed of old age, and the ibex will about match him. These antelopes cost some thing on account of the difficulty of cap turing them, but their sturdy longevity tends much to cheapen them. " Perhaps the hardest animal to keep successfully is the hardiest of the birds, namely the ostrich. It is extremely sus ceptible to colds and stomach troubles in captivity. You've got to watch it with care and whenever its head droops doctor it. Whenever it is sick it reluses to eat, and then you have to stuff it, that is, make balls of food and cram them down its mouth. Otherwise it may starve itself to death. To look at tho ostrich you woqld think it would stand any fatique or exposure. But I have only one left out of eleven which I bought. The first one I paid SIOOO for as an ex periment. The other ten I took in a lot at SSOO npiece. AVe trained them to draw chariots and run races, but they died oil very rapidly. They aro not good stock. •'The big pachyderms are all fine stock, though. Take tho rinnosceros and the hippopotamus; we can bank on Um» as we can on the elephant. They reproduce occasionally, too, but It U very hard to raise the young, they are so susceptible to cold. Hippos are very scarce. If mino should die I wouldn't know where to got another in America. "IH tell you what make rattling good stock. Kangaroos. They arc cheap enough, you|know. They arc still huge droves in Australia,' and the natives catch them very easily with dogs trained to seize tho animals by their tails. You know a kangaroo's tail is his rudder, balancing staff and walking stick. Without the use of this he is nothing but a pair of huge legs, which may carry him any where but in tho direction he wants to go. So he is easily captured, and only brings about $250 if he is of tho red va riety, or $75 if he is a rat kangaroo. Kangaroos live for many years in cap tivity, and reproduce frequently. A good female will bring forth two litters of two each a year, and raise the young. The stock keeps on increasing so that we havo to keep selling off continually." "How about bears?" "Oh, bears," said Mr. Bailey, "are as good stock as can bo had. Thoy are all extremely hardy and long lived. They are easily kept and not subject to disease. The genuine original grizzly, I am sorry to say, is getting exceedingly scarce. There is probably not a single one east of California, and I only know of one in California. I tried very hard to get that fellow, but the owner simply wouldn't sell at any price. I offered him SIOOO cash down. You see any number of grizzlies in menageries and shows, of course. "We've got a very fine one down stairs. Most people think they aro the original North American grizzlies, but they are not. They are of the 'silver tipped' variety, which are still plentiful enough if you know where togo for them, and are worth about §250 each for extra fino specimens. Cinnamon bears are harder to get than 6ilver-tipped griz zlies, and if light colored are worth S3OO each. Of course, the brown bear, though nearly extinct in the East, is common enough yet, and inexpensive. George Conklin bought three several years ago for §5 apiece." Mr. Bailey says that it requires a not outlay of $15,000 a year to keep the Bar num menagerie up to the mark. Of tliis loss about SIO,OOO is occasioned by tho death of animals and §SOOO by deteriora tion in the viOue of stock through age and sickness. The menagerie sells ani mals each year to the average amount of S3OOO. The animals sold are the increase through propagation and those which have become shabby and spiritless through age. These worn-out animals are pur chased by small traveling showmen, to whom they are sold at inconsiderablo prices. WISE WORDS. Tho cheerful giver is a very lonesomo man. Stinginess costs more than extrava gance. The only real giver in the world is tho cheerful giver. The virtues and vices sometimes live very close together. Nothing but death can separate true friends from each other. A good name is a good thing to have, but a good heart is better. You can't tell much about a man's gen erosity by reading his will. The man who tends the school of ex perience must pay his owu bills. There is a good deal of pure laziness that goes by the name of sickness. Many men have ended by becoming scoundrels, who began by running in debt. The hardest of all things is to get a man to stop and look himself squarely in tho face. People who never worry do a good deal of missionary work that they don't get credit for. One of the hardest times to love an enemy is when lie is prospering like a green bay tree. There are a good many different ways in which some men can manage to brag on themselves. A hypocrite is a counterfeit. A coun terfeit, is one of the strongest proofs that there is a genuiue. A man never gets so bad but that ho likes to hear somebody say there is still some good in him. Self-deception is the only, thing that keeps a good many people from being continually miserable. If you have any opinions of your own they will never amount to much as long as you arc ashamed to father them. When you hear people growling about hard times you can make up your mind that they do not give as much as they ought to. Cheerful givers always have plenty.— lndianapolis (lnd.) Ifrim's Horn' A Colorado Avalanche. About 2000 feet from the Denver and Rio Grande depot there is a moss of saow in one lump which contains about 1,- 000,000 tons of water. The mass repre sents a snow3lide which came from the summit o' Kendall Mouctain on the night of February 23. The point whero the snow br*)kc from tho ap3x of the mountain is probably two and a half miles from tho railroad track, and the slide madi» tho run—according to wit nesses who heard tho crash at the start and the crunch when it stopped—in less than two minutes.— Silvertot* (Col.) Miner. Tlie Shalainite Sect. The Shalamites, who aro located six miles northwest of Las Cruces, New Mexico, are a sort of religious sect, and have a Bible written by Dr. A. M How land, of Boston. Their Biblo is called Ospie, and like tho book of Mormon, is claimed to havo been inspired. Thoy do not attempt to inaks now converts, but havo gathered together soino fifteen or twenty babies, picked at at different orphan asylums through the country, and it is their intension to teafli the.se young sters the precepts of Ospie, and in that way swell their number*.— Bunion Iran eenpt. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. POTTING MEATS. The potting of meats and flsh is an art in which English housewives eminently excel. Devilled ham and tongue put up in this way are peculiarly delicious. Lit tlo earthen or stoneware jars with straight sides are best adapted to this purpose, as the potted moat may be slipped out in perfect cylindrical form form from such a jar and cut up in slices for luncheon or supper. Potted meat must be pounded to a paste in all cases, and packed very firmly in the jar with as little gravy or butter as it is possible to use and manipulate it."The r*oro the meat is pounded," says an English authority on this subject, "the better it will be." In order to prepare a ham in this way boil it till it is thoroughly done. Separate the fat from the lean. Ohop the lean fine, putting in about a quarter of a pound of fat with every pound of chopped meat. Pound the meat and fat to a paste in a mortar, season it with a quarter of a saltspoonful of cayenne pep per to every pound of paste and mix it thoroughly for a plain potted ham. If you wish the ham devilled prepare a sea soning powder in the proportions of a teaspoonful of dry mustard, half a tea spoonful composed of equal parts of mace and cloves, half a saltspoonful of nut meg, half a saltspoonful of cayenne, tho same amount of white pepper.— New York Tribune. CAKE MAKING. "Cake makers are born, not educa catcd," was ono of grandmother's pet, sayings. And t hero seems to bo some truth in it, judging from the small number of first-class cake makers wo find among in telligent women. To bake cake successfully something more than a mere rule is required. Kuleg mean that all ingredients shall be in the samo condition and of uniform quality, else there is no absolute certainty of uni form results. This is practically impos sible. Flour and sugar will be more or less damp, and fruit varies in a thousand ways. "Eggs are eggs," it is said, but there is such a difference in their size that one might dispute, at least, one sense of the statement. The successful cake baker must have an instinct for con ditions, must know by tho feel of tho batter when it is just right. Until this branch of education is fully mastered, and only practice and close observation will assure it, the best rules must be fol lowed, and the varying qualities and conditions of tho ingredients must be carefully studied. To secure bucccss only the best mate rials must be used. Better go without cakn than mako it with strong or rank flavored butter, or eggs which are unfit for table use. Either will detract frotn tho flavor of the cake, and although heat is a great purifier, it does not always re move the objectionable taste of inferior materials. This is a point on which in experienced cooks go wiong. So-called cooking butter is unfit for a fastidious taste. If the yolks of the eggs are used, they should be beaten to a cream with the butter and the sugar. The whites of the eggs, the flour and the milk may be put iu at the samo time, and tho whole must then be thoroughly mixed. Add baking powder just beforo the baftter is readv for the tins, and beat vigorously for half a minute; then putin tins lined with buttered paper, and bake in a moderate ly quick oven.— New York Ledger. SEASONABLE BALA.DB. Asparagus Salad—Cut off the heads from asparagus; a'ter boling, throw them in cold water; put a head of lettuce torn to pieces iu a salad bowl, add the as paragus tops.

One of the most renowned buildings in Europe is the gioat "Winter Palace" in St. Petersburg, built in the reign of the Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. Successive imperial families have taken up their residence in this palace, the last Emperor being the Czar Alexander 11. After the mysterious dynamite explosion which was effected in this Empeior's pri vate dining-room an investigation was commanded, and a list made of such per sons as were employed in the palace, when it was found that over and above the army of regular employes as many as four hundred people in no way on the list were living there! Aud extraordinary as it may appear, on further investigation a well regulated farm in full operation was discovcrd un der the imperial roof! There was a poul try yard, a piggery, and several cows, the owner of this extensive estate making a comfortablo profit on the sale of his produce to the royal kitchen.— New York Journal.
