liliPPEDTllE LION A Ccatsst Eetwccn Human and Erute Strength. SANDOW WAS THE VICTOR. Stripped to the Waist, the Strong Man Wrestled With the Enraged Animal, Who Was Kittened and Muzzled, and Thoroughly Subdued Him, The story that Kicbard. later term lid "Cot'tir do l.ion." derived Ills name from i be feat of tearing u live lion's Jienrt out of its body Is usually re tarded today ns apochryphnl. At this distance of time It Is impossible to tell what wis the truth. But if Itlcta ard had the strength of Sundow and strove with the Uou under conditions similar to those under which Sandow wrestled with a menagerie Hon lu Sun "Francisco some years ago there may be a basis of fact for the legend. In ,the Strand Magazine Mr. Sandow told f the event: 1 It was to be a struggle between torute strength and human strength. Merely in order to prevent the lion from tearing me to pieces with his claws, mittens were to be placed ou Lis feet and a muzzle over his head. This lion, I must tell you, was a par ticularly fierce animal and only a week before had enjoyed a dish that ;was not on the menu his keeper. "Well, the engagement was accord ingly made and "A Lion Fight with Sandow" widely advertised. The an nouncement, I am told, sent a thrill through the cities for a hundred miles round, and in order to be equipped for a performance which would be found to attract hundreds of thousands of people I decided to rehearse my fight .with the lion beforehand. I had it in my miud that the effect of mittening and muzzling the beast might be to put him off the fight by frightening him. and. realizing how foolish I should appear facing a lion that would not fight. I was desirous of making certain that this should not tbe the case. Accordingly the lion was mittened and muzzled, but only with the aid of sis strong men, ahd I entered the cage unarmed and stripped to the waist. ' .What happened was in direct opposi tion to my expectations: bagging his paws and incasing his head in a wire cage only served to enrage the brute, and no sooner had I stepped inside than he crouched preparatory to springing upon me. His eyes ablaze with fury, he burled bimself through the air, but missed, for I had stepped aside, and before he iiad time to recover I caught him with my left nrm round the throat and round the middle with my right, and, although his weight was G30 pounds, I lifted him as high as my shoulder, gave him a buge bug to instill Into bis mind that be must respect me and tossed 'him to the floor. Roaring with rage, the beast rushed fiercely toward me and raised bis huge .paw to strike a heavy blow at my 'bead. As bis paw cut through space I felt the air fairly whistle and realized not only my lucky escape, but the lion's weak point and my strong one. If only he struck me once I knew it twould be my coup de grace, and I took particular care that he never should. As I ducked my head to avoid the 'blow I succeeded In getting a good grip round the lion's body, with my chest touching his and his feet over my shoulders and bugged bim with all my strength. The more he scratched and tore the harder I bugged him, and, although his feet were protected by mittens, his claws tore through my tights and part of my skin. But I had bim as in a vise; bis mighty efforts to get away proved of no. avail, Before leaving the cage, however, I vas determined to try Just one other feat Moving away from the lion, I stood with my back toward bim, thus openly Inviting him to Jump on me. At once be sprang right on my back. Throwing up my arms, I gripped his bead, then caught him firmly by the neck and In one moment shot him clean over my bead, assisted by tbe animal's own Impetus, and launched bim before me like a sack of sawdust. the action causing him to turn a com plete somersault. While he lay there, dazed, the door was unlocked, and I went out, my legs and neck bleerting and with scratches all over my body. But for these trifles I cared nothing. I felt that I had con quered that lion and that I should have little difficulty In mastering it on the next occasion in public. So thoroughly was he tamed, how ever, that the great fight lusted but two minutes. When he would fight no more I lifted him up and walked round the arena with him on my shoulders, be remaining as firm as a rock and as quiet as an old sheep. Different Style.

Previous to bis elevation to the sov ereignty Jerome Bonaparte hud formed a friendship with some young authors at that lime In vogue for their wit and nvkless ga.vety. On the evening after his nomination to the crown of West phalia he met two of his jovial com panions justf as he was leaving the theater. "My dear fellows," said he, "I am delighted to see you. 1 suppose you know that I have been created king of Westphalia?" "Yes. sire, and permit v, to lie among the first" "Eh. what? You are ceremonious, me thinks. That might pass were I sur rounded by my court, but at present away with form and let us be off to supper." Upon this .Icrome took his friends to one of the best restaurants in the Talals Royal. The three chatted and laughed and said and did a thousand of those foolish things which when un premeditated are so delightful. It may be supposed that the conversation was not kept up without drinking. When the wine they had drunk began to take effect, "My good frienfls." said Jerome, "why should we qul each other? If you approve of my proposal you shall accompany me. You,' C., shall be my secretary. As for you. P.. who are fond of books. I appoint you my libra rian." The arrangement was accept ed and ratified over u fresh bottle of champagne. At length the party began to think of leaving and accordingly called for the bill. Jerome produced his purse, but the king of Westphalia could only find '' louis, which formed but a small portion of 2(XI francs, the amount of the bill. The new dignitaries by club bing their wealth could only muster about 3 francs. What was to be done? At 1 o'clock In the morning where could resources be found? They determined to seud for the master of the house and ac quaint him how matters stood. lie seemed to take the frolic in good part and merely requested to know their names. Having told him. the restau rateur set his customers down as sharpers and threatened to send for the commissary of police. This alarm ed Jerome, who, seeing that the res taurateur doubted them, handed over his watch in payment. This watch had been a present from Napoleon, and on the back was the emperor's cipher hi brilliants. On examining the watch the restau rateur concluded that it had been stolen and took it to the commissary of police. The latter, recognizing the imperial cipher, rau with it to the pre fect. The prefect flew to the minister of the interior, and he in turn weut to the emperor at St. Cloud. Next morn ing the Moniteur contained an ordi nance in which Jerome was ordered to Westphalia at once and prohibited from conferring any appointments till his arrival at his capital. T.

Tbe worst thing that can bap pen to our teeth is for them not to have enough to do. It is the worst thing that can happen to us also. Spir itualized and cultured as we have be come, we still fight tbe battle of life with our teetb. though we no longer chew our enemies' ears or throats. Bone cored, enamel coated and rock ribbed as tbe bills, our teeth are more absolutely under onr control than almost any other structure of the body. Neglect them and they decay at once. Give them proper attention and they will go on repairing themselves for forty, fifty, sixty years. Give children plenty of roughening food to chew, and they will get tbe pearly vigor of the savage tooth with tbe endurance of tbe Caucasian's. Above all. the food should be of sucb a character as to give exercise and massage to tbe gums. Part of this can be given by plenty of coarse food in addition to real food not as a substi tute for it and part by intentional and vigorous friction with the toothbrush. To brush the gums well Is half the. value of brushing the teetb. Keep the mouth and gums strictly clean, and the teeth will take care of themselves. There are thirty-three dis tinct named and labeled sorts of bacilli or bugs in our mouths as normal parlor boarders, but they'll behave with per fect propriety unless you give them carrion to get drunk on. Dr. Woods Hutchinson in Survey. Bill Lange'a Long Hit. In an article on "Batting" in the American Magazine Hugh S. Fuller ton describes as follows the longest hit ever recorded: "Lange. who was of the middle ages of the game, made a hit in Cincinnati which Is regarded by many ns the longest hit ever made. Tbe ball clear ed the center fi'ld fence, which was on top of a high embankment, sailed across Western avenue, went through the window of a saloon and was found behind the bar. The bit made a fortune for the saloon, as big crowds went to see the ball on exhibition." Domestic Economy. "My wife threatened if I didn't get her a new hat she'd go home to her mother." "Why didn't you let her?" ' "Her railroad fare would cost more than the hat" Boston Transcript. Bright Boy. In school tbe other day a young lad was asked what be would rather be when he grew op.
