THE HURON EXPOSITOR
Lion Tanaing.
The lion -taming business is likely
salon to come to.an end. In England,
reeently, a performer in ,a den, of
lions was killed ; and more recently
till, one I-jerr Darioui had a nar-
row escape at Philadelphia. It ap-
isears that Darious entered the den
of two lions and two tigers; but he
• was new to 'them, having only a
short time since arrived from Ger-
,
raw. Ile`was not performing re-
gularly, but sin3ply practicing, and
getting ready for ex.hibitions to take
place in the spring. Having enter-
ed the den, he observed that the
tigers seemed uneasy and restless;
they skulked in corners and 'oc-
casionally growled, showing their
teeth as if enraged. The trainer
faced them, -'however, and tried to
subdue Mena -with his whip. Mak-
raising chickens in sufficient num-
bers to keep the ranks of the laying
stock always mainly filled with
birls not old, which is indispensable
to succesi. It should be remember-
ed that eggs are more profitable
than table fowls, except in case of
early ohickens.

Thia Lumber Trade of Canada.
Few men among us have any ade-
' • --(pate idea of the enormous propor-
tions of the\ lumber trade of the Do-
minion. Take, for instance, the
trade of the valley of the -St. Law-
zence and the tributary valleys. The
Ottawa: valley proyicled during the
past season 100,000,000 feet ofsawn.

sawn deals, and 150,000,000 feet of
SMITH boards. In the Ottawa val-
ley the proposed get out of logs was
3,200,000, and in the St. Lawrence
2,350,000. The exports for the

and Lawrie.
It is reported from Manitoba that
Governor Archibald's Government
• has really furnished Riel and Le -
pine, the murderers of Scott, with
an abundant supply of money to get
them out of the Province; and- that
Mr. McKay, the brother of Mr.
• Archibald's Presitle,nt of the Council,
escorted the two scoundrels to St.
- Paul, in. the United State. This
has been done, it is said, to prevent
the arrest of these fagitives from
justice under the proclamation of
the «overnment of Ontario, offering
a reward of $5,000 for their arrest
and trial, and to prevent the Local
Government of Manitoba from being
involved in political trouble. '

Employment in New York..
It is said that merchants, bankers,
and business men generally in New•
York are at present inundated with
applications for work by clerks in
search of employment. The failure
of various insurance offices,
conse-
quent - upon the Chicago fire, has
swelled the ranks of these unfortun-
ates. Persons in search of employ-
ment slioiald remember that New
York is always overstocked with
clerks, and the. best chances for
young men are in the West, not,
! -
however in the large cities, butin
the country districts. There areo
men in the Western States who had
the courage itt early life to leave the
counters of Chicago and St. Louis,
tc rough it in California andColo-
rado. They bought land for cents
which is now worth thousands of
dollars. They dug the gt ound which

Farm Poultry.
Farmers freqnentiv neglect their
• fowls, not so much from a conviction 1
that sets a thing -a -ma -gig m motion,
and that makes the engine go. You

Chinese Woraen.
• The won of China are divided
into two c es—the boUnd-footed,
who are the aeries, and the large -
footed, who are the common class.
The latter carry the burdens, do all
the drudging and out -door work,
while their husbands do nothing.
When a little girl is born, the , par-
ents thinks the -gods are angry with
them, and they hold a consultation
as .to whether she will be allowed to
live or not If she is, when she ar-
rives at the age of four years, they
held another consultation whether
she shall be bound -footed or a large -
footed woman, If she is chosen to
be a bound -footed, she is not permit-
tecl,to do anything ; but if otherwise,
ahehastobe the family's slave. Thaw
seen a woman . with four - children
strapped to her back and rowing a
boat, while her husband lay in the
cabin smoking his pipe. Girls have
no choice of their husbands; the
the highest price they can obtain for
her. She never sees her husband,
nor he her, until after they are mar-
ried. If he chaoses he can be •di-
vorced from for her talking 'too
much; if he becomes poor, or gets
tired of her, he sells hes again. ,
