From the Kansas City Journal. “McKinley,” a cub lion, was dozing beside the stove in the winter quarters of Lemon Brothers’ Circus, in Argentine, the other morning. Around the room were the ani- mal cages containing the lithe creatures of the jungle placidly passing the time away for the circus season to open. Not far from the little lion cub stood several large bexes of snakes, which have to be kept: near the stove to prevent the reptiles from freezing. There was not a human: being in the room. It was as still as death. Suddenly the head of a large South Amer- ican boa constrictor appeared above one ‘of the boxes. It rose slowly up into the air until about two feet of its body was in sight. Its evil little eyes sparkled, and it twisted its head and looked around the reom until it beheld the sleeping cub. Then its head dropped over the side of the box and began moving across the floor. It was a monster reptile, and it moved cautiously and with its eyes sti¥ fastened on Mc- Kinley. The snake moved up to within a few feet of the lion cub, when it paused. The cub's tail was closest to the snake. It glided closer yet and then drew the tail into its mouth. As the tail disappeared the snake drew closer and closer to the cub’s bedy, and then with a wide spreading of its Jaws it took in the entire hindquarters of the cub. McKinley awoke and began to cry in a plaintive voice. Swiftly its body disappeared, and louder grew its cries. The mother heard the wails of her offspring, and looking between the bars of her cage, cemprehended the situation at a glance. She sprarg to the bars and let vut a roar that brought every animal in every cage to its feet, and pandemonium broke loose. The mother roared incessantly, while the lions jcined in the chorus; even the sea lions bellowed, and soon the elephants be- gan to trumpet. Only McKinley was silent. All of his body had passed inside the snake’s jaws except a small part of his head and his front paws. There was a self-satisfied look on the snake’s fac.. The turmoil of the animals reached the circus attaches in another building, and they ran quickly to tae scene. They comprehended matters at a glance. One of them ran to the ele- phants, while tugging at their chains and still trumpeting, and with an iron prod quieted them. Others tried to extricate McKinley. The snake, lke a miserable coward, tried to sneak away, but was caught and held. Then the men caught McKinley by the paws and other men held the snake and they all pulled together. McKinley stayed where he was. He either refused or cculdn’t come cut. Occasionally a little more of him slippped inside. Mat- ters were approaching a crisis. It was either the life of the snake or the cub. A quick consultaticn was held, and it was de- cided to sacrifice tne South American ra tive:. Knives were procured and the snake was cut in two. When the blades pe: trated its flesh’ it seemed to realize its - tion, and struggled with its captors, the men finally falling upon it and holding it still. The snake was handicapped By its meal. It did not take long to Bever the body, and they then tried to pull the cub through, but it stuck and stuck tight. It was necessary to split the snake's jaws and pry them apart before the cub cou! he re- leased. Then McKinley was taken cut. was nearer dead than alive. The snake was one that had been with the show for many years. The cub Is one of the twins born just prior to the last election. Being born in captivity and an exceptionally fine specimen, he was highly prized. Last November, just prior to the election, one of the lions gave birth to two whelps. Both were males, and in keeping with the spirit of the times, one was named Bryan, the other McKinley. Just before election the cub called’ Bryan sickened and died. McKinley, on the contrary, grew sleek and fat, and met with no mishap un- til the escapade of yesterday. Last night after the attendants had given McKinley a bath and e careful rubbing, he appeared to be quite recovered from the squeezing process he had undergone and sambolled about the building quite as hap- py and care-free as ever. o-—__ —_—__-. JAPANESE POCKETS. The Advance of Civilization Markea by the Adoption of Them. From the New York Evening Post. Perhaps the best proof of the advance of the Japanese in civilization is to be found in their use of pockets. The people of that country have usually six or eight pockets cunningly inserted in the cuffs of their wide sleeves. These pockets are always filled with a curious miscellany. As com- mon as the twine in the pockets of young Americans is the prayer amulet, written on sheets of rice paper and composed by the bonzes. In accordance with their faith, these amulets are swallowed like a pill in cases of mental or physical distress. An- other essential seldom missing is a num- ber of small squares of silky paper. These are put to unexpected uses, such as to hold the stem of a lily or lotus, to dry a tea- cup or wipe away a tear. Among the Chi- nese and other nations a pouch is used, instead of a pocket. This was also the case in western Europe in the middle ages, and for some time afterward. The pouch was attached to the girdle, along with a dagger and rosary. It +was called an aulmoniere or gipctere. It was often ornamented with curious terns, pat and silk threads, coats-of-arms and ous sentences. A dramatist of the time of Henry VIII wrote: From my girdle he plucked my pouch; By your leave he left me never a penny. Breeches, however, haa pocke' early date.

And there was a host of gallint men decoratéd with honors and brevets won at Chapultepec, who, in both the federal and confederate armies, dis- played soldier mettle’on the great ‘battle: fields of the war when put to the test. of daring. To name them is to name. nearly all of the leaders of the:¢ivil war who had held rank in the old army. Grant was brevetted captain and was complimented in person; Lee rezeived -three brevets; Mc- Ctellan was brevetted captain; Joseph E. Johnston won three-brevets for conspicuous Personal gallantry; Longstreet received ac- tual promotion for a mest glorious display of courage: Stonewall Jackson received two brevets; “Fighting Joe” Hooker and Gen- eral Beauregard were both brevetted: Chas. F. Smith was honorably mentioned for his deeds at that battle ana brevetted colonel for the campaign, andthe confederates Pn- low was‘ene of the heroes at Chapultepec, and was wounded leading his division in a charge. George E. Pickett and Lewis A. Armistead, ‘names ‘ever ‘to be sssbciated with the “high water mark” at Gettysburg, Were both in: the-front rank of heroes’ at Chapultepec. Besides these distinguished leaders ithere was a brillant company of men whose names adorn the paged of history as gal- lant fighters for the north or south, among them “Old Bull” Sumnér, ‘who was never known to cry “Hold, enough!” but once, and that was on the bloody field of Antie- tam; Silas Casey, the brave but unfortunate commander of the fe outposts at Fair Oaks; John W.

Brennan, another of Thomhs’ stalwart fighters at Chicka: mauga; J. P. Hatch, the cavalry soldier; Hunt, who was chief of artillery under Meade at Gettysburg; J. J.

Foster, who fought, with Burnside in the Carolinas and Tennessee; the brave but unfortunate Chas, P. Stone (Stone Pasha), victim: of the Ball’s Bluff disaster, and Wiliam Hays, the skillful general of ar- tillery in the Army of the Potemac. And these were not gratuitous honors. Scott was leader of the Napoleonic school, who w the power of enthusiasm and also how sweet to a soldier are the re- wards of praise and gratitude. He remem- bered how he, himself, prostrated with wounds at Lundy's Lane, in the 1812, was borne in a litter upon the shoul- ders of his admiring countrymen_from the Canada border half way across New York. He remembered, like , how the little American army, while surprised and over- matched on British soil; had been red that day by the heroic words of Col. ler, who, when told to capture with hi ment a battery that was doing more dam- age to the American cause than all the rest of the British army together, an- swered: “I'll try, sir,”” waved his sword and led tho heroes, and it would require a volumé to tell in detail the stories of their deeds. wi storming that famous stronghold.

Both reguiars and volunteers ‘were eager for the place of danger. In the ranks of the skirmishers and storming parties and bands of enthusiastic fellows crowding at their heels were all the heroes named in the above list, the elite fifty American leaders, who won their Spurs at Chapultepec. Joseph E. Johnston commanded a special battalion of Volti- geurs and foot riflemen, which he had re- cently organized and was to give its bap- tism of fire in storming the castle walls. When the signal sounded for the storming parties to advance Johnston preceded them with his four companies of Voltigeurs, hav- ing received orders to force an entrance through the immense wall inclosing the castle park. In the face of a steady fire from the walls ard the gate, the Voltigeurs deployed and turned their rifles upon the Mexicans on the top of the wall. After a few minutes the enemy broke from the Parapet and ran across the park to a line of intrenchments, The Voltigeurs followed, Johnston. leading them all in their wild run, The fisg of his battalion was the first American banner planted upon the outcr walls of this ancient citadel. Infantry col- ums and batteries quickly advanced to seize the ground cleared by the Voltigeurs. Leaving the prizes to them, the brave colo- nel, already wounded, hurried his men across ‘the park to the rear gates to cut off the garrison ‘from retreat. This feat was accomplished in the face of a sharp and clcse fire poured upon the Voltigeurs from the park terrace in their rear. One of. Johnston's men, Private W. A. Gray, dis- covered und destroyed a train of powder leading to the mines which Mexicans had planted under the walls, and which, in con- sequence, they falled to explode. Deeds of Gallantry. The attack cf the stormers had been Preceded by a bombardment, and gallant deeds performed at every stage of the bat- tle were praised and rewarded. McClellan and G. W. Smith got their brevets for con- structing two batteries under a slight screen of bushes clcse to the castle walls, from which the first guns of the bombard- ment were fired; Charies P. Stone for gal- lantry at a gun-in cne of these batteries; Lee for laying platforms under fire on the aqueduct walls used as gun-staging, and for carrying battle orders over the field un- til he fainted from a wound recetyed early in the fight. There was a literary hero also, who captured a brevet for gatlantry at. the batteries and parapets—Lieut. Mayne Reid, the famous novelist. Reid and his company of New York volupteers became excited and dashed after the storm- ing parties, catching up with them before they crossed the walls. Mansfield Lovelt was brevetted for a bold reconnoissance, in which he discovered two concealed Mexican batteries; Capt. Paul for advancing a light detachment of fifty mien as an outpost to guard against a sor- tie-of the Mexicans; the gallant Reno for moving his battery along with the storm- ing column. Reno afterward caught with Johnston’s Voitigeurs, with one how- itzer, and was wounded while firing it. Stonewall Jackson ran his section of ar- tiHery up to within point-blank range of the enemy. The horses at his guns were ali killed, but he hauled one piece across the ditch by hand, and planted it close to the enemy’s pathway of retreat. Capt. Casey led one party of stormers at double quick through showers of grape until he was wounded, then turned over the com- mand to Capts. Steele and Bee. Hunt also moved his battery elose upon the heels of the storming parties, and fired over their heads into the Mexican ranks. Armistead was the first man to leap inio the ditch and place a ladder for scaling the embank- ment. This he accomplished under a show- er of bullets and hand grenades, but was wounded in the adventure. D. H. Hill, with twenty men, aided “Magruder in the de- fense of the guns which he had boldly ad- yanced along with the storming columns, from a desperate charge upon them made by ‘the Mexicans. looker and Earl Van Dorn were brevetted for gallantry while carrying orders under fire. But ‘while all were brave, there was still a chance for some to outstrip others in that exciting race for glery. Lieut. Long- street marched with his company in the heavy battalions which followed up the at- tack. While carrying the flag of his regi- ment.up the hill, and waving it to cheer on the men, he was severely wounded. His companion, Lieut. Pickett, then took the flag and bore it to the castle wall. While the battle still raged at the bases of the hills, on the right and on the left, Pickett lowered the Mexican banner and replaced it with the colors of the 8th United States Infantry, which, amid. wild cheers of the soldiers around and below, flashed in the breeze far above the classic Aztec groves and gardens, above the warm and bleeding coree of a Montezuma, last of that royal line, above and in view of the doomed cap- ital of the Mexicans in the piains beyond. — ALDERMEN IN BELGIUM. 230 rin They Would Be Voted Slow by Ameri- can Municipal Experts.

My guide of varied accomplishments combined, as business men abroad often do, the roles of country gentleman, manu- facturer, bank president, school trustee, and—broadening the gulf between his kind and the typical American “‘boss”—he holds the more important position of alderman. In every city the alderman and mayor, or burgomaster, are of high social repute, elected to office because of special fitness for the branch of public affairs they are chosen to manage.

Dr. Mason refers to the work of the Society for Psy- chical Research, which has conducted a systematic inquiry. into the various sub- jects associated with telepathy and hypno- tism, and he foHows out much the same line of research in~his summarization of results. The conclusion reache¢ in gen- eral is that the phenomena grouped under the phrase “The New Psychology” are dte to the “subliminal self,” or subconscious- ness of thé individual. ‘This factor, says the author,.is the active and efficient agent in telepathy, that which sees and_ hears and acts far away from the body and re- Ports the knowledge which it gains to the ordinary sensés, sometimes by motor and sometimes by sensory automatism. It acts sometimes while the primary self is fully conscious, he goes on, better and most fre- quently in reverie, dreams or somnambul- ism, but best of all when the ordinary self is altogether subjective and the body silent, inactive and insensible, ‘as in that strange condition which accompanies the higher Phases of trance and lucidity, into which few enter, elther spontaneously or by the aid of hypnotism; then, still retaining its attenuated vital connection, it goes forth and sees with extended vision and gathers truth from a thousand various and hidden sources. This book is a remarkably clear exposi- tion of the scientific view of these subjects, which are so full of mysticism and so dif- ficult for the finite mind to grasp.

He Drops Into Reminiscence, a Little Bit, Over a Battered Cantecn. Frem the New York San. “Hanging on the wall in my room,” said the old soldier, “are my last knapsack, heversack and canteen. And with them is an old canteen with the cloth covering all faded out, and a little hole in one side of it, where a piece of cloth about as big _as half your little finger has been gouged out. Under this hole there is a little dent in the side of the canteen, made by the bullet that gouged out the little strip of cloth. The old canteen is hanging ‘with the battered side out. Vain old man? May be so. I'm net ashamed of the old can- teen; that’s certain. . “On the day it was dented I got the Sweetest drink out of it I ever had. We had started in the morning with canteens filled. It was a hot day and it was hot and dusty marching. I had nipped along at the water until it was pretty neariy all gone, and just before we went into the fight, which was early in the after- noon, I had finished it. “The fighting didn’t end until dusk, and then we fell back. While the fight was going on I never thought of being thirsiy, but when it was over, and the tension was off, and we had come back to the earth again, I certainly was tremendous!v dry, and when we had got started along the road back I thought I had never been so thirsty in my life. About two miles back there was a little brook running across the road, shallow there, and may be four or five feet wide and not much current. Cavalry and artillery and infan- try had passed through this brook, and the water was thick with mud and gravel, but it was waterfi and as fast as the men came up they unslung their cups and scooped up a cupful of it as they went aiong. It was dark, and some of the men Cidn't see it until they had got right to it, and they had to halt a minute until they bad got their cups loose; but most of the down and knew what they were coming to and had their cups ready. They would just bend over when they came to it and scorp up a cupful, without stopping, and garry it along for twenty or thirty’ feet, to let it settle a little before drinking. “Well, I didn’t scoop up any; most of the men did, but I didn’t. I thought I would rather wait. But when f heard the swish- ing of the water as the men threw out. what was left in their cups with the mud t it made oe arou for my canteen. I realized, though, be- fore I lifted it, that there wasn't any- thing in it, and shoved it back.
