LION ANI The only Don of Porforming Tiger3 In the V: rld--Mi,thod. of subjecting those 3oats to Control. [ I'rom iUMe .\-r ,t I 'ork un] A reporter ircently interviowed 'Mr. Still, the lion king of the Lou - don cireus, who gave tho follc,wing account of his experiences in taming the mhonarchs of the forest. -e said: "I was eng.ged in taking care of wild beasts in London for a man named Charies lice, a woll,known anlimal importer, when an otTer was Imade 10iC to go out; in the same calpacity with .Jil Meyer's circrS in Prance. Very shortly after I had become acuaintel with the animals there, John Cooper, who was per~ forming them, got pretty badly chewed up by a lion one night. He was carried off to a hospital, and I was asked if I would take his place. I didn't much like the job, for I had never boen in a cage before, but it was a chance for me to earn more than I had ben getting, and I didit feel like owning up that I was afraid. So I agreed to (1o it. I made up mny mind that the first time I wont in I would be caten, or at least crippled for life, in all human prob.ability, an.l I concluded I had better have it over with in privito than before an andience. With that idea I got into the cage with the fourh' lions, in the afternoon. Before they recovered from their astonishment at my imilildenle I w.t slashilg them11 arolnd with th whip, as I had seen Cooper doing, and had them hopping about lively, and too busy to think of going for me. That night I performed them in public, and continued to do so aboutthreo months, until Cooper got well enough to take his place again. Then I was sont to ai branch show to (1o the lion tamor business with a strange cage of four lions, and after a while 1 introduced also a pel'formallce with a cage of five hyenas anld two leopards. They didn't like cnel other at all. The hyenas, you see, belong to the dog kiml, and the leopalrds are a sort of cats, and ;; dog and cat never did agreo very well. The leopards were afratid of the hven:as, and used to l1y ariound it good deal. They w\erc too busy looking out for their own hides to think of troubling me. W1'heni 1 gut through, I used to sepiaite them oil. No deoent beast can got, along with a hyena, which is th. jilthiest, most vicious, contemp1)til)ie, (isglstir;g aimillal alive, and althouth it hai no claws to scratch with, it., jaws are just te'rors. Why, a hyena can bito oil' the cor'ner of' your hiandkerchiief just as cleanly as a pair of shears coulld snip it on', and1( it can crush a shin bone of a beef as easy as you "I cameo over here in 1871, and trained the four t.igr'esses .I nlow performt with. Thley' aro'( tihe most diangerous br'utos inl the wtor'ld, and I sups someiO day they will kill mue, but that is a fato e aV3tll have to look for, and if I keep) comnmandl over them wvell, it may be a good while befor'e they do. You can nieve'r trust ai tiger'. A lion miay' get fiendly with yeou, and it is not very likely t.o try to kill you, with out you1i miako himl angry or lhe is hunllgry anid wants to eat you. But a tiger kills instinctively, from a love of killing, a shleer' lust for blood. Fill a tiger up with all the meat it can hold, and it is. just as likely to spring on you andit r'ond you t,he next minute, as it w~ould( be if starving. "Of coIurso I hamve beon chewed up some. Every man in iy line of business has to make up his mind to that. See, bo0th my arms and hands are ripped and scarrrd. 'When I was with that branch show of Meyer's circus, in France, I was bitten three times in two months; pretty badly, too. It almost dis couraoged me. Once a lion bit my left arm through thle wrist- making that scar-tore four' deep gaehies iln my right armlf with his claws, scoredl some1 dleep furrowvs down my back, and in the fight tore everything off me except part of my trousers. The blood just poured from me, but I got a heavy iron) club passed in to me, and belted that lion until he was thoroughly whipped. When I got out 'I was so weak that I could hardly stand, but it was , the .,only way. Go out of a cage, after an animal has bitten you, without giving it an infernal licking, and you can never go in again without its trying to bite you. It will re member that it whipped you be fore. You must never let your nerve weaken, and take care that though they may muss your flesh pretty bad, you, don't give them a chance to crunch your bones. That may put you at their mercy, so keep them from taking hold. They don't bite until they sink their clows in, so look out to break loose quick, no matter how deep they clutch you. As for the smell of blood maddening them, I know there is a popular notion to that effect, but it is not true. I have had occasion enough to know, when it was my blood they smelled. Lions and tigers raised in captivity are more dangorous than those which are well broken when taken wild full grown. When the cub born in a cage grows up he will become impudent, saucy, aggres-. sive, and he is too familiar with men to be easily cowed. .But the wild boast never forgets when he has been once wlhipped, and though his instinct will still prompt him to attack, ho will have his doubts about the results of his getting into a fight. You may handle a young lion for years, and it will be as harmless as a Newfoundland dog, until suddenly, without any appar. cut reason, all its ferocity will be developcd. "W\hen you want to train lions, or tigers, or leopards, or hyonas, the preparatory steps in all cases are the same. You first get thom used to you from the outside of the cage, feeding and watering them, speaking to them and sometimos touching them through the bars when they are in such positions that they can not readily got hold of you. Then you go into the cago to sweep it out. Keep your bromn going-never let them got near enough to you to smell of you, or they will snatch you the instant after-and make them pass vou, driving them about with a whip. When you have them thor oughIly familiarized with your pres once you may begin their education. Some trainers in old times used to clip their claws and put muzzles on them, but I never did, and never Co sidered it any use, except, pe. - haps, in the case of a leopard that you are training to jump on your back. Whether you clip their claws or not, a tiger or a lion, especially the lion, has force enough in his arm to mash a man down almost as you would a fly. And it isn't right , for the animal noods his claws. They are his forks to hold his meat with when lo eats. As for the muzzle, he knows whether he has it on or not, just as well as you do, and the memory of it has no influence on him when it is not on. "You can't teach wild beats any great variety of tricks. You make them rear up in the corners of the cage, jump over your whip, through a hoop or balloon, or over you, or each other, and you sit down on them, and that about exhausta their capabilities for learning. To make them jump you hold a stick and drive them over it with your whip, holding it low at first and gradually raising it. If you want them to go through a hoop, hold it up, with a gate set in undler it so they can't go beneath, and wvhip them through. If you want an animal to rear up, it maLy be necessary to have a rope or chain dlropped through the roof of the cageand either swing about its neck or fastened to a collar, and wl.on you whip it and order it to standl up, have a couple of men above to haul up and muake it stand on its hind legs. After a few times the rope will not be necessary. See my sp)lendidl tigressos, how they standl up. T1hey were trained that way. You must always make them do the same thing in the same place .-that is, in the same corner or in the center of the cage. If you want Ito sit en a lion or tiger,1get the ani~ mal trained to remain quiet in one p)lace while you stroke it gently, at lirst with the whip, next with your hand, and finally y ou can press on it, and at last sit down on its haunches, but never coase to keep a sharp lookout upon it for the slightest sin f treachery. The old Van Amburgh feat of a man putting his head in a lion's mouth is safest done with a very docile old lion, well fed and toothless as possible, but it may be done-with some risk, of course -to a young brute if he is very good natured, and you work up to it by gradual familiarities about his headl, opening his mouth, and so on. With a tiger the .best, plant is to .let it alne. When w4 feed, ywu
