' Draughty Placei. It is one of the oddities of human nature na-ture that people are always looking as far away as possible from the ground they stand upon, not only for their best ' chance for distinction, but for the dangers dan-gers which they believe are most besetting. be-setting. A lion tamer ventured into the cage of tho most ferocious beasts, apparently having no fear of them, although he was often quite badly bitten.' But he had a dreadful fear of taking bronchitis. One day, after he had entered, with perfect composure, a cage containing two half-starved bears and a panther, he shook his head gravely as he came out. "Well, well, sir," he said to a gentleman gentle-man who stood near, "this is going to end badly for me some day." "You are afraid those ferocious animals ani-mals will devour you, then?" . "The . animals? Pshawl You don't think I'm afraid of them, sir! Not at all; but these cages, sir, are such a dreadful place for draughts!" -Youth's Companion.
