TIGER TA3MING. A STU'tl)Y HEART, STRONG AR3i AND STOUT CLUB NECESSARY. The Vaunted Power of the Hluman 1h.e a sMyth--How the Tiger's Clas' Are' Cliplped Training Secrets. A N' w York Sun reporter describes a recen: Interview with George Conklin, Su~.irintemalt :It of Barnum's menagerie.

IThe tizt r i: solitary confinement ias imilar:y ht:rnessecd. *'Well," said 1ir. Conklin, "I'1: tell cou "i thing we do besides feeding these tiu.ers. We train them. Those fellows in there who have chains on then:. and :are just now spitting and growling at us in such savage style, are new. We have had them only a month or two. The others are old boys who will let me go into the cage and not say a word to me. By the time we go on the road they will all let me go into the cage. I give them a lesson every day. That's on: thing we do during the win ter." "How do you time them?" asked the visitor. "It's easily done," said the trainer carelessly. "Every day I have the men catch the ends of the chains which hold the new tigers, and fasten them to the bars so they can only move a certain dis tance. Then I arm myself with a raw hide whip and a stout club and enter the cage. I take a chair wtth me and sit down in the corner. The minute I get in the untrained tigers spring at me. No doubt they would chew me to shreds if they got at me,but the chains hold them and they only tumble on the floor. I hit them smartly with the whip and they crouch back and snarl. After a little I shove my chair closer. Then they jump at me again, but again they are thrown down by their chains. I shove closer and repeat the programme, and finally I get so close that they can touch me with their noses, but not bite me. Here I sit for a long time, talking to them as long as they remain quiet, and switching them with all the force pos sible when they become fierce. In the course of a few weeks they be come uscl to my entrane-. and only cnrge anti snarl at me. Thei I try them, one by one, without a chain. I have never so far used the club. Now I hold it ready to deal a mighty blow if neces gary, but it is seldom necessary. The tiger is siubdued and permits my entrance whenever I choose. I have got these tigers Lere nearly trained. They snarl yet, you see, but next week I will tackle theta without chaiens. That fellow in the other co-,spartment is tractable enough, but he Iersits in lighting with the big Bengal, so we have to keep them sepa rate. 1,) you see that long mark on his belly ? He and the big fellow had a prticularly hard fight the other day, and that is one result. If we hadn't had the big fellow's claws clipped before hand, he'd have ripped open the new one from end to end. So there's another delicate j(,b for me. I've got to get those tigers on .good terms." "Is there any basis of truth in many storis that are told of the power of the human eye over wild beastst" "Not the slightest," said Conklin dis dainfully. "Of course it is true that a man who aims to subdue wild beasts must show a fearless front, and no doubt the eve shares with the body generally the task of impressing the beast. But the real requisite is real fearlessness. If a man's heart is sturdy he need not care a Rap about his eyes. lIe can leave them to themselves just as he leaves the other members of his body. The secret of thmin, wihl beasts is the realization that ll.wild lbeasts, however ferocious, are at heart cowards--particularly if they be long to the cat family, as lions, tigers, eop'ardts, and panthers do. That granted, a stout heart, a stout arm, and a stout whip or club is all that is necessary. I aever have known fear." "Do you always clip the claws of your ferocious naim.ls ?" "Those of the cat tribe, always," said the trainer. "It is quite a job, too, and requires a number of men. You've got to get your lion or tiger bountl in such a wy as to throw him on his side and then reach ill through the lurs and grab his four feet. Th-ec you pull out be tween the Itars ani hold tight. This is 1o small job!, in the case of a very largo lion or tiger. They struggle violently, even aft, r they are helpless and while the operation of clipping is going on. I illed a tine panther this winter clipping his claws, or rather he killed himself. after we hlad hiit securely down ,so he tould hardly move a muscle, he strained o0in his eff.irts to free hirmnaslf that he broke a blood vessel and died almost in Iantly."

IT TASTES C00D.0 PENSIONS "" REALTY IN VIENNA. Property Values and tlhe Method of Cow. ductiyg Nales and Transfers. Statistics compiled by the Call Board Committee of the Chicago Real Estate Board shows thel following facts regarding realty in Vienna and the method of conducting transfers, etc. : Property is valued by the square meter-equivalent to nearly eleven square feet. Outside the city, property is valued by the yoke;ja yoke is equal to about one and one-fourth acres. The new wards of the oity will be more uniform than the older portions, and be divided into blocks. But the blooks are much longer and wider than with us, and are much sub-divided. The most valuable property is on Stephan platz Karnthnerst rasse, (Grahan, Kohl mnrket and Kingstrasse streets, where on an average it is worth about $100 to $110 a square foot. Transfers are made by warranty deed, and mortgages are used as with us--notes soearate from the mortgage are not used. The mortgage and note are on one dozrument, and in case of a number of payments a separate com bined note and mortgage is used for each payment; colunion rates of interest are ' anti 6 per cent. Lawyers do the business. A system of records lies exposed in the Court House of every ward in the city. The cost of the copy of a record, or its ex amination, is stated to be generally 1 florin (41 cents). In the "inner town," six months' no tice to leave has to be given the tenant. In the nine other wards only three months' notice is required. All rents are paid six months in advance, May and t November being generally the time of said payments. A A ground tax is invariably collected, but houses not rented pay no other tax until they are rented. I hen a build e ing is rented, the Government requires t a blank to be ftilled out and turned into it at once, giving the premises rented, terms of lease, etc., and signed by the f tenant and owner. The numerous taxes on uroperty in Vienna, amount at the lowest to 42 per cent of the yearly income. In some cases it amounts to more than 50 per cent. Mortages are r taxed. The rights of creditors of [ owners of pyperty differ somewhat in different portions of the city. Property has "servituten," i e., rights gained by long occupation, but said rights are considered as but a limited lien. En tailed property can be seluestrated for a number of years until the debt is li quidated. W hen an owner of property, a husband, dies leaving no will, his wife and children all share alike equally. A wife dying barren without making a will, the husband has no right of in heritance, but the birth of a child, though only living an hour, gives the husband all rights of inheritance, Where there are children and no will, the children inherit equally. The father can only claim a small sum for sustenance, if in poor circumstances. Sales of real estate are infrequent. All sales as well as all property inherited is published in the newspapers, being pre viously tecorded in the register of the ward where such property lios.-Chki cago Journal. A Very Solemn Road. We pass by fish-ponds where a man is sorting fish out of a hand-net; farm houses, the women coming to their doors C to gaze at the "white barbarians;" through rice fields where the path is so narrow that the chair hangs above a depth of watery ooze, writes a traveler of the road to Canton, China. Here and there among the newly turned fields is a patch of vivid green rice plants awaiting transplanting; a crop of trefoil; or lotus with their ex quisite leaves, each plant growing alone in wet mud. The Celestials are lotus- w eaters, but the food has lost its virtue t' since the days of Ulyssess, for the d "heathen Chinee" takes .opium when he wants to dream. The road winds on through sparse bamboo plantation., past hedges in fresh spring green, starred with jessamine and tiny white wild roses; and all along the way on every scrap of rising ground are-graves! those of poor people for the most part, whose relations cannot afford a granite slab, and only a sod of turf shows some one lies below, some one who has worked out his life's story among the toiling millions, who has joined the great majority, and so be come an object of reverence to his countrymen. For their dead the Chinese choose the best and fairest places; they visit the graves each year; and now, just after ~the "tomb-sweeping" festival, from jevery sod and form every heaastone tlutters a paper charm.
