Hissing like a sullen geyser, the great puma mother crouches with flaming eyes. Ridge of her tawny back brush ed up In rage, tall a-swltcb, steel sin ews rigid beneath soft skin, she glared at ber four cubs' in the cage corner. A fluffy ball of spotted fur sprawled on unsteady legs across toward her. Out shot a mighty fore paw; the baby was burled suddenly back among bis cowering brothers and sisters. "Nasty temper," I remarked to the keeper. "Has she been long like that?" "Started this forenoon." He shook his head In anxiety. "I don't like It. Ill have to separate them, 1 fear." ) The unnatural mother commenced pacing ber prison, sparring viciously at her offspring In passing. Three huddled together In a pitiful heap, but one stood up aud defied her. A jungle terror In miniature, his tiny rage was magnificent. Tensely alert before his trembling mates, he shifted warily to meet each blow, dodging, spitting, striking out an awkward paw at the great thrusts. "They dou't turn on their cubs often. Only knew It once before. You notice, meln herr, her claws are not out when she strikes. That may come; then we will lose some promising babies bere." Tfce young German keeper was great ly distressed. I returned In the morn ing to eee how the affair had progress ed. Entering the Frankfurt Thlcrgar ten, I fo md the lion house. My friend stood In the empty corridor looking into the cage. Sleek forms shifted restlessly on every side; a pale light came from above; the place was close with a heavy odor. He greeted me mournfully. "The little beggar was too spirited. She got him last night. Just a second In her jaws, and the taxidermist won't attempt to stuff the skin." The re maining cubs peered wonderlngly vat us from an adjoining cage; the mur deress paced in silence, but her eyes were alive with a strange fascinating light. The tragedy had stirred the rows of Imprisoned beasts. An uncan ny howl in a chilling key came from the leopards; the lion's deep throat ed guttural sent unwelcome quivers through one's nerves. I left the building, relieved to feel the breeze and see the sunlight. Poor little chap of a puma, he surely had tremendous pluck! Travel Magazine. Read the Morning Astorian.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-"There should be no standard fixed by law as to the kind of ice cream that may be inatui factored, as the article is a luxury and not a strength builder on or a food substitute asserted Attorney Thom:i Lannon in an argument before the National Pure food conference, in session here yesterday. ' Mr. Lannon represented the Na tional Ice Cream Manufacturers' As sociation and appeared before the Commission with a pica that the pres ent standard requiring all ice cream to contain 14 per cent butter fat wan an injustice to the manufacturers and did not conduce to the health, moraN and comfort of the public. "We considered 8 per cent butter fat amply sufficient for all purposes," said Mr. Lennon. Chairman Frcar accepted the argu ment of Mr. Lannon, and said it would be forwarded to Washington with the general report of the com mission. "But," he continued, "I am of the belief that this can only be remedied by an act of Congress."

Barrett of Austin, Texas, is said to be the only woman concrete block maker in the world. She has made a study of the cement and con crete industry, and knows it thorough ly i uU of its details. In addition to being, a cement worker, Mrs. Barretts at the head of a school for defective children. She made with her own hand-i the blocks that were used in the construction of her school build ings, says Cement Age. She is now preparing to make blocks for barns, sheds, outhouses of other kinds and fences upon her . farm near Austin. She ays that she is convinced that concrete is the coining building mat erial, and that it will prove to be the semi-arid region of the Southwest, where., other building material is scarce and high priced. Mrs. Bar rett lias been conducting a campaign of education in the use of cement among the farmers. She urges that concrete construction should be adopted upon every .farm. At a re cent meeting of the Texas Farmer's Congress she gave a demonstration in concrete block making and the various uses to which the material could be put upon the farm. She delivered a lecture to the assembled farmers, in which she pointed out that they could, with the exercise of proper energy, make farms and build their own dwellings, barns, chicken houses, fences and other improve ments at far less cost than if stone or lumber were used. She stated that the necessary materials that enter in to concrete construction are nearly all found upon the farm, and that the farmers themselves could do the block-making and the construction 1 work, thereby saving the expense that would have to be borne if the work were done by professional contractors and builders.
