Some years ago a lion tamer who was exhibiting in a (Jerman circus in Holland attracted immense crowds at every performance by do ing what seemed to be the most daring of acts in the lions cape. He would climb into the cage with" great pieces of meat and throw it to the roaring beasts. The moment they had leaped upon it he would spring among them and put his foot on it. The animals would growl furiously, and then, just as the spectators were all waiting breathlessly, ex pecting that the beasts would tear him to pieces, they would shrink back, cowed. After he had repeat ed this exciting act for many days an Englishman made a wager with him for a big sum of money that he would not dare to do it after the lions had been starved for three days. The trainer considered for a moment and then accepted the wa ger, making only the condition that he be allowed to have three weeks of preparation. At the end of three weeks the trainer announced that he was ready, and the process of starving the lions began. The Englishman kept guards posted around the cage day and night to make certain that not u morsel of food should be giv en to the animals. At the expira tion of the three days all Amster dam rushed to the circus. The lions were maddened with hunger, as any one could see and hear, for they roared continually, and their at tempts to break through the bars showed how angry they had be come. In the height of the uproar the trainer entered the cage with an immense piece of beef in his arms. lie tossed it on the floor of the cage, raised his whip, and, lo, not one lion dared to approach it. The mighty brutes lav crouched, roaring and growling so hard that their great framcB 6hook, and each kept his terrific yellow eyes fixed hungrily on the meat. But not one of them stirred. The trainer stooped, lifted the beef and tossed it to them again, and in a moment the lions were in a great tawny ball, rending and snarl ing and tearing, with blood from the mangled beef spurting all over the cage. The Englishman paid his bet and then tried to find out how the lion tamer had acquired such wonderful control over his beasts. At first the man would not tell, but at last he consented to explain it. During the three weeks' period of preparation he had always starved the lions from the very beginning. Then on the fourth day he would enter the casre with a piece of beef which had been soaked in kerosene oil. The lions would no sooner pounce upon it than they would shrink away, sickened by the stench. Then he would throw them a fresh and good piece of beef, which they would devour in a moment. The lions soon became so accustomed to expecting that the first piece of beef that was thrown to them was not good that at the end of three days they would not even move from their corners when the trainer threw it on the floor of the cage. They would not try to eat any thing except the second piece. So the daring trick had a very simple explanation. Taking His Medicine.
