Ten little finger-nails

To teach the little children to play!
II. -
To play? I call it working,
When ten little fingers like mine
Are bumping and clumping and thumping,
And neverwill fall into line.
They fumble and tumble and stumble,
They trip and they skip and they hop.
And just when the music is gayest
They come to an obstinate stop.

That sparkle and dance on the keys _
While the music is rippling below them,
Were ever as clumsy as these?
I would work, I would patiently practice,
'How patiently! day after day,
If I thought that my practice and patience
Would end in such beautiful play. ‘

HOW‘ THEY ARE TRAINED.
Familiarity with One Another ,the Secret
of the Docllity of Animals.
Hagenbeck’s trained animals, were one
of the popular sights on the Midway
Plaisance, Chicago. The idea of lion
taming in its present state is a. very mod-
ern one indeed. In the old days when a
man went into a small cage with a. lion
and made him leap over a hurdle or put
his head into the brute’s mouth it was an
easy task compared with that which the
trainers who are with the Hagenbeck ag-
gregation daily perform with the various
animals. Formerly this work was done
in a. small cage, where the trainer stood
with his back againsta sliding door, and
- where he was watched from the front by
an attendant with an iron rod. With
Hagenbeck’s animals, however, the case
is entirely different, as the performances
are given in a huge iron cage fifty feet in
diameter, and such is the nature of the
performances that it is impossible for a.
man to always keep his eye on any par-
ticular animal. ,
The happy families of the old circus
sink into insignificance when one thinks
that Nubian lions, Thibet bears, polar
bears, leopards, tigers, hyenas and boar
hounds are all together in one immense
cage and assist each other in performing
various acts. One can hardly estimate
the amount of patience required to teach
a Nubian lion to sit upon a chariot, hold-
ing in his teeth the reins, and drive before
this chariot two Bengal tigers, while two
magnificent specimens of Stuttgart boat
hounds ride behind as footinen. But this
is done simply by getting these animals
thoroughly acquainted with each other.
\Vhen not appearing on the stage they
are kept together in a menagerie.
trian lion Black Prince and of the lioness
Princess Helena. For a horse to allow a.
lion to ride on his back is about as diffi-
cult a task to accomplish as it is to get
the lion on the horse’s back. The horses
are not taken out of the theater at night,
as is customary in most theatrical com-
panies where horses are used, but, on ,the
contrary, the horses Columbus and Lulu,
who are used for the equestrian act, are
stabled directly opposite their compan-
ions’ cage in the big menagerie. _ Thus
from one year’s end 'to the other they.
never lose sight of- each ..other and be-
come thoroughly'accustomed to being
together. v
LIVES IN AN OAK TREE.~
.___....._..
Eccentric 01d Tom Rogers Built Himself
3 House and Doesn’t Have, to Pay Rent.
An eccentric old fellow in Louisiana,
Tom Rogers by name, has his home in a
tree. This quaint domicile is perched
among the low and larger branches of an
immense white oak on the Calcasieu
River, near Lake Charles. ,
While necessarily constructed in a. ram.
bling and circular manner in order to ob-
tain a suitable foundation for a chamber
of comfortable size, it shows "ingenious
design and much strength. So strongly
and compactly is it built that it seems
almost a part of the tree, and there would
be little danger of its destruction except
by fire or the uprooting of the monarch
oak by a storm. It is several miles from
any other habitation and is well adapted
to the solitary life chosen by the strange
old hermit.
He cultivates a 'few acres of land to
meet his simple wants, and the adjacent
river and forest afford him an ample sup
ply of fiSh and game for food and to sell
in the town market. He never leaves his
retreat except when compellélll'iby his ne-
cessities to sell farm produéeand game
to supply him with . food and 'clothing.
On his trips to town he avOids all conver-
sation, and to the country round about he
is a. veritable enigma. . ' '
. Rogers is not the only person who ,lives
in a tree, for in Southern Asia. there is a
whole race of treedwellers, whose ethnic
traits afford an interesting study. .They.
are diminutive in size, wild in habits, and
inhabit the most secluded forests, subsist—
ing upon the natural fruits and nutsto
be found in that tropical region. In point
of reason and intelligence they. occupy
the lowest status of humanity, being but
little removed from the monkeytribes.
They reach their rude houses by means of
ladders made of bamboo vines, which
they are said to climb with the agility of
apes.
A Story with a Moral.
A story is told on' a young society man
of a. neighboring county that might have
. beenserious instead Of ludicrous. He paid
a visit to. his best- girl, and while getting
out of his buggy both the Suspender but- - 1
3 tons on the rear of his'trousers gave way.

The Latest Sleeve Outdoes‘ Its Prede-
cessors. The Newest‘Golors.
If fashions, like~flowers in their respec-
tive seasons, would- only blossom out each
year with the same regularity of form and
”Color what a deal of bother and anxiety
would be spared the feminine mind. Yet,
on the other hand, therewould be woes of
another kind, for if there were no changes
the fashion makers, would have to go out
of business, so, forgtheir advantage and
our distraction. the general upheaval of
all things which were fashionable, to give
place for the things which are to be fash-
ionable, must periodically disturb our
peace. once again We must put away the
dainty summer finery, so lovely and en-
ticing in the warm days of June, and
seriously consider the ways and means of
a winter outfit. The subject, from the
standpoint of the latest sleeve, has a
breadth and depth not easily reduced to
the practical fitness-of things, and how
to make a last year’s coat sleeve cover the
voluminous structure which seems to be
built on the extension plan is a. difficult
problem to solve. However, the modern
sleeve has one redeeming feature in that
it serves to diminish the apparent size of
a. large waist, so the old coat must be sac-
rificed on the altar of vanity, be it ever so
good and comfortable.
A cheerful item in the fashion of skirts
is that they are very simply trimmed, if
at all, and drapery, which was so persis-
tently prophesied last year, is rarely seen,
and only of the plainest description.
s
A plain cloth skirt maybe stylishly
trimmed at the bottom with a narrow
bias fold of velvet, either checked or
plain, and edged on either side with fur.
\Vi‘th this is worn A charming blouse of
velvet to match the band on the skirt. A
single Norfolk plait 'trims the front, and
three jewelled studs fasten it together.
The sleeves of velvet are very full, and
the neck band is draped with lace which
is knotted in the back, and falls in two
short ends. 5 ~
Certain colors are always announced
from time to time as the favorites, but a
glance at the new goods convinces you
that all' the colors, in varying shades, of
course, have equal place, so there is the
usual uncertainty as to choice. Brown,
however, except of the tobacco shade,
