' Pezon would not use. If h.i hud, he would probably have failed. The experience of all persons who have takenl part in the training of animals is in this respect pretty much the the same. They may be BEATEN ISTO STrPIDITY but they cannot be kicked into cleverness. Thus the sight of tricks well performed by any sort of beast, from the dancing dog to which Dr. Johnson ungallantly compared oratorical women, to M. Crocker's hideously named " Equiiationals," may be enjoyed without scruple by the most humane and scrupulous spectator. They cannot have in- volved any real sufifering on the part of the performers, and they have probably given them a good deal of pleasure in the process of acquisition. Opinions will, of course, differ as to the value of lions when they have been tamed. Therearethosewho do notcare for tne society of anything living which is not all so human. Some, again, have for carnivorous quadrupeds a dislike which they cannot shake off, even at the dictates of morality or religion. Others, who have ro objection to the eating of flesh, provided it is not their own, agree with Bottom, that ' "there is not A MORE FEARFUL WILIJ FOWL than .your lion living," and give the creature a wide bert' When Cuvier -â-  was inter- rupted in tlie course of his learned labors by the apparition of the devil, he was at first somewh-r),t startle-l. But a niomeut's examination reassured him. " CIovcj hoof Graminivorous," he observed, and went on writing serenely. M. l\zon o.i' res no more for a lion tlian Cuvier caved for a cow. Indeed, M. Ptzin had a pet li.n v.h:cii acdompanieu him on hiswalk-s at Verraiilep, greatly to the terror of the inhabitants. M. Ptz-on de.spises this unworthy panic, for which lie can sec no reason.

The premises are dotted with cowled figuies, but it is evident that in half a minute the c;oast v/iil be clear and St. Jerome left fdone with his friend. St. Jerome not only founced, if we may believe Bishop Thitlwall, the broad church school, but he also made the discovery that a lion is only a cat, after all. I'raed called his brother members in the House " just Eton boys grown heavy, "and a similar relation appears to subsist between I the feline and the leonine nature. The cat grown heavy is a cat still, and cats, s all their friends are agrefed, may be coaxed into anything. If it be objected that tigers are cats also, we can only reply that there are different kinds of cats, and that the polecat, for example, is not A GEKTLE OR AGKEEABLE liEAST. Why Frenchmen should get on especially well with lions is a problem which many be variously solved. The fact seems to be so. The greatest lion tamer that ever lived, greater than M. Bidel or M. Ptzon, was French. Victor Hugo- would have had no difficulty in answering the question. He would havj said: " The lion is the king of beaists. The Frenchman is the king of men. Let the nations tremble when the im- measurable republic speaks, "c. M. Pezon, however, though he dislikes tigers, does not confine his attentions to lions. He puts forth his influence over the elej|hant, aud it follows him and barkens to his word. It is like our human conceit to call the elephant sagacious. If he were really sagacious, and not merely amenable to buns, he would lift up his horn, or rather his paw, and we mis- erable mortals should flee before him. If M. Pezon takes his tame lion into private life with him, he will avoid the danger of being bored which besets all ex- celebrities, and will not follow the example of the re- tired tallow chandler, who felt himself compelled to revisit scenes of past delighton melting days. How Margaret Drew the Line- Our pantry is next to our kitchen, where Margaret received the visits of her Mickey. One evening I went down to the pantry for Bomejbbing, and while there was an involun- tary eavesdropper on poor Margaret. She had confided to me only a few days before that shortly after Lent we would have to look out for a new girl, and we consequent- ly received[Mickey with more good will than before he had declared his intentions, al- though we were sorry to thinkwe would lose Margaret. On the evening in question Mickey was in the kitchen wnere Margaiet was finishing up her work. After the rum- ble of a gridiron falling to the floor had subsided I heard the following dialogue "No, Mickey. No, you cannot." " Ah, Margaret, dear, gi' me one kiss from those sweet lips." " Mickey," replied Margaret in a stem voice, " you must own the bowl before you claim the sugar."'
