THE TRAINED FLEAS.
HOW A PAIR OF COCKNEYS FOOLEd’
THE CALIFORNIANS.
Patrons of the San Francisco Fair Were
Neatly iluaibi<£Eed by Two London la
lirs—A Lc.tare- Who Learned a i
vwn Talk.
'W. a I Wl»— *' "
Among the attractions at the San Fran- .
cisco fair was a trained flea exhibit. Aft- ■
er the exposition closed the proprietors ol :
the insect circus h.id a row. The patrons ,
cf the trained flea outfit will be interested I
to learn that the show was a fake of the 1
rankest kind; that 90 per cent of the in
sects were dead when exhibited, and that
the men who manipulated the concern
knew no more about the true inwardness
of training and handling fleas than they
did of the social habits of the tuberculosis
bacilli.
The warring partners were Frank Ry
man and John Burgess. They are both
English, and Burgess, who is a clean
sltfived, merry faced young fellow, with a
cockney brogue that is redolent of White
chapel or some equally notorious slum in
faraway foggy London, exhibited a fond
ness for bicycling, and it was at the cyclcry
that he first convoyed to an admiring
crowd the information that the flea show
was a delusion and a snare.
“It was this way,” began Bnrgess in
choice Londonese. “Me and Ryman and
two other fellows 'ad a concession for sell
in cutlery, but we couldn’t make nothink.
We wos driven to desperation, an it wos a
case of do somethink or starve. Well, I
gets it into me nut that a trained flea show
would ’it tho public, but there wasn’t a
bloomin one of us knew tho fust think
about ’andlin or ’arncssin a flea.
“Os course I’d seen genuine flea teams
in the hold country, where they ’arness
’em with ’orse’air and hexibit ’em in mag
nified glass cases, but I don’t know no
more’n Hadam ’ow tho thing wos done.
‘■That didn’t stop us, though. Wo got
a Jap to make hus a nice little houtfit of
tiny paper carriages with copper wheels,
and we gets a place fixed hup for giving
hexibitions. Fust we got some fleas and
began hexpeiimcntin just to see if we
coulu tumble to tho racket of ’arnessin
’em. Wo couldn’t. They was too lively.
‘‘Finally wo got some very fine copper
wire and stuck a piece of it into ono of the
flea’s ’aunchoa. First wo stuck it in too
far, and then the flea died, but wo kept
on hexperimentin, and we found just ’ow
far wo could spear a flea with a good
Chawnce of kcepln ’im alive until tho show
was over. Wo got tho thing down pretty
fine, and then I got outside and did a bit
. of spielin, while Ryman stood indoors and
speared tho fleas and made them fast to
the carriages.
"When everything was ready, I’d rush
hinside and superintend the hexhibitlon,
and I toll you it was a ticklish job, ’cos
seven out of tho eight fleas would be dead
before tho show began.
“Any’ow I’d give the people a nice talk
about ’ow ’ard it was to train and ’arness
a flea, an ’ow yer 'ad to ’ave a certain
brand of flea, with plenty of brains, or
you <«|.’l<l never make nothing out of ’em.
I us«S Aj tell ’em that it took six months
to hoducato a young flea, and we ’ad a real
live flea with a silver chain around 'is
neck, which I drew their attention to as a
ilea that was just learning is business. I
also told ’em ’ow wo ’ad to change a flea's
gait and hall the rest of it.
“ 'Ow did wo get tho fleas? Why, Ry
man used to lasso stray dogs around the
fair grounds, an wo got all wo wanted.
’Ow did wo feed ’em? I used to feed ’em,
and it makes mo blood boll when I think
of tho bingratltudo of that feller Ryman.
Look at mo harm here. Thom fleas used to
feed’an mo ’art’s blood.
■ Generally when tho show was about to
commence all the fleas but ono would bo
dead,” continued Burgess. “But I used
to put a bravofacoon it and tilt the paste
board card they wos workin, on and tho
carriage and fleas would roll down ’ill.
Then I’d give another little talk and
watch mo chawnce so as I could tilt tlio
card the other way, and the team would
glide down ’ill again.
‘•Why, tho public stood it like lambs,
but I often thought as 'ow Ryman would
queer tho show. 'E used to lay it on too
chick. ’E kept on saying, ‘Ladies and
gents, it takes two 'ours to ’arness a flea,
and there’s only another man an incself—
that’s me fawthcr—-as is in this country
at present as knows 'ow to do It. ’
‘ I said to him one day: ‘Look ’ere, Ry
ma i, you’re a-comin it too strong. There's
mil, ions of people in this country an tho
chawnces are that ono or two on’em are
ae clever as you or your bloomin fawther.
Just draw it a bit mild, cull, or they’ll
tumble that the ’ole business is a red, raw
fake.
“Well, sir, it was wonderful ’ow people
stood the show. Wo ’ad ministers of the
gospel and governesses and all sorts come
in, and me ’art used to bo in mo mouth
tryin to find hanswers for the questions
they basked. But I hpxplained hevery
thing to the queen’s taste, an I tell you I
learned a ’ole lot about fleas just by lis
tenin to meself talkin.
“Sometimes ail the fleas would be dead,
ind I’d slide ’em down tho card quick
tnd then say, ‘Now, ladies and gents, the
bentertainment’s hover.’
“ ‘Thehentertainment?’ said a fly lookin
bloke one day, 'where hiu ’ell is the hen
tertainmont?’
‘ Well, I just said something humorous
and turned tho laugh hagainst 'im, and
the crowd went out laughin and good na-
tured-.
- We had ono flea etuck on a tight rope,
and I used to toll ’em that ’o was tho best
trained of tho lot. '’E can do hanythlnk
■ but talk, ’ says I, and all the timo ’e was
as dead as a door jtall. Wo ’ad ’im glued
to tho rope with wax.
“We ’ad glasses for tho ladies to look at
the hinsecks, but the place was dark, and
I used to tell ’em they got a better heffect
by watchin ’em with tho naked h’ye;
“One day a party of ladies come as I
suspected was connected with the fair, an
1 says to ’em, ‘Ladies, it Is a naw sty cold
day, an tho hinsecks is chilled an won’t
work,’ an they took it all in an went away.
Takin it right through, I believe ’alf tho
folks thought they was lookin at a genuine
show, but the other ’alf tumbled it was a
fake.
"Sometimes when I’d notice a flea as
- ■ya* just goiu to peg out I’d put ’im on
the palm of me ’and and say, ‘Just watch
’ini jump when ’e ’ears my voice. ’ Os
course ’e’d jump in his dyin conwulsions,
but the people all thought it was straight
goods. ’ ’
“Didn’t the cruelty to animals people
get after you?” asked one of Burgess’ lis
teners.
‘■’Ow could they?” replied the quick
witted cockney. “They wasn’t on to our
graft, an even if they ’ad been it wasn’t
as if we were torturin a ’orsc or anything
like that. A ’orse is a hanimal, but a
Bea’s honly a hinseck.” —San Francisco

THE DAILY PRESS, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1894.
IONIAN MARRIAGES.
They Are Rare, but When They Do Occur
They Are Events.
Marriages vc.y seldom take place on the
island. Only six have taken place during
the last io years, and none was celebrat
ed in the place troui August- ISS3, until
March, 1890, writes Malcolm Ferguson
in a Scotch periodical A marriage, as a
ex-ncmi rule, takes place on a Thursday,
and on the evening cf the preceding Mon
day the invitations aro given in person by
tho bride and her bridesmaid. After dusk
they set off together and commence at one
end of the island—i. e., at the extreme
eud of the houses—calling at every dwell
ing. inviting both old and young to the
wedding, until they reach tho ether end.
The bridegroom and his best man begin
at the opposite end and go through the
same routine as tho bride <md her maid
has done, so that there is none of tho In
habitants left without a double invitation
to the wedding.
On the Tuesday after the invitations all
the housewives proceed to tluxbride’s house
loaded with nice plump 9-month-old chick
ens, big kcbbucks of sweet milk cheese,
mutton, ham and innumerable other dain
ties for the marriage feast. On the wed
ding day the friends and relatives of tho
bride assemble at her father's house, and
tho bridegroom’s friends and relatives as
semble at his house. In the respective
houses tho company sit down and partake
of a substantial lunch, usually consisting
of bread and biscuits, butter and cheese,.
etc.,andadram —"maybe twa; wha kens?”
After lunch the separate parties start from
their respective dwellings in procession,
preceded by a piper in full highland cos
tume, the gaudy ribbons of his braw plop
waving hither and thither in tho breeze,
to meet the other party, as previously ar
ranged, at the church. After the solemn
marriage ceremony is over there is usually
a hurry skurry, all the men trying who
will bo the first to kiss the blooming, bash
ful bride and shako hands with tho hoppy
bridegroom. On leaving tho church the
two parties join.
The whole company then return in pro
cession, headed by the two pipers, to the
place previously prepared, usually a barn,
to have a dance, which is continued until
tho company aro summoned, about 10
o’clock, to tho bride’s house, where they
all sit down to a’sumptuous supper, the
tables groaning with tho good things of
this life.
The tables are always set in a barn for
tho occasion, there being no room large
enough in any of tho dwellings to accom
modate all tho guests. After a good while
spent at the wedding feast, with toasts
and favorite Gaelic songs, the company
again return to tho dance, which is kept
up with spirit and joyous gleo until break
of day, when tho company separate and
return to their respective homes. —New
York Advertiser.
STOPPED THE DADY’S CRY.
A Bachelor Brings His Knowledge of Ha
man Nature Into Play.
A bachelor is not usually credited with
much knowledge about the proper treat
ment of children, but sometimes they step
in where angels fear to tread. A well
known num about town who is pretty well
on in years and not very fond of children
stopped in to see a married sister the other
day and found her trying to amw i her
little boy, nged 5 years. Not long after ho
arrived she stepped out of the room to at
tend to some household matter or other,
leaving him alone with the child. The
latter eyed him dubiously for some min
utes. Ho was a spoiled child If ever there
was one and had no idea of making pro
niiscuous acquaintances. The bachelor,
tried to make the little one laugh, but
all ho got for his antics was a sour look.
Finally,without any warning, the chllp
burst out crying. Hero was a quandary,
to bo sure. Ho didn’t dare to pick the boy
up and soothe him. His attempts in a
verbal line were dismal failures. What
should ho do? Finally a thought struck
him. He looked at tho crying youngster,
and tho crying youngster looked at him
through his tears. Ho was evidently much
pleased with tho impression he was mak
ing.
•‘Cry louder,” said he.
Tho child obeyed.
‘‘Louder yet,” urged the bachelor.
A yell went up that would have dono
credit to an Indian.
‘‘Cry louder still,” insisted tho man,
and tho boy did his best to obey.
‘■Louder!” fairly howled his uncle.
“I won’t,” snapped tho infant, and ho
shut his mouth with a click and was quiet
forthorostof theday.—Philadelphia Press.
lilueblooded Economy.
Tho head of a very great family in York
shire was told by his man of business that
ho must retrench. Ho said he was perfect
ly willing to and set to work to see how
economics could bo effected. Every de
partment was looked into—the house, the
gardens, tho stables, and so on. There
were 120 horses in the stables, not includ
ing hunters. Tho number could not bo re
duced because surely you would not have
the boys go afoot. The gardens must be
kept up, and how could you keep up gar
dens without gardeners? Tho domestic es
tablishment was found none too largo for
the size of tho house. It was tho same
story everywhere. Finally,after some fruit
less weeks of inquiry, Lord X. remarked
one morning at breakfast: ‘‘l notice that
wo have four kinds of preserves on tho ta
ble for breakfast. I think we might man
age with two.” This heroic suggestion
was acted on, and from that day to this
the family and guests in this house have
had to make a breakfast as best they
could with only two sorts of marmalade.
When this retrenchment had been effected,
the subject was droppod.—New York Trib
une.
A Story of Alexandre Dumas.
This story is told of Alexandra Dumas.
It is well known that he could not refuse
a request —at least not often. One day
he gave a man a letter to one es his inti
mate friends in Brussels. Tho friend, a
wealthy merchant, received him as though
he had been Dumas’ own brother, intro
duced him to his circle of acquaintances,
placed his stable at the man’s disposal and
did everything in his power to niqj:o life
pleasant for Dumas’ friend. After tho
lapse of 14 days tho man suddenly disap
peared and with him the best horse in the
merchant’s stable. Six months later the
merchant visited Dumas and thanked him
for tho kind of people he recommended to
his consideration. ‘‘Dear friend,” he add
ed, ‘ your friend is a shark. He stoic tho
best horse in my stable.” Astonished,
Dumas raised his hands toward heaven
and cried, "What, ho stole from you too!”

Two ftittle bloons of Mars.
The two moons of Mars, Deimos and
Phobos, were observed at the observa
tory at Blagstaff on Sept. 10. Deimos,
the outer one, is the smaller, being, it
is estimated, about six miles in diame
ter, while its companion is slightly
larger, some seven miles in diameter,
tho entire surface of either of them be
ing not moro than the area of some
great farms in the far west.
Tho possibility of seeing such small
objects so great a distance is a triumph
of modern optics, they being observed
at a distance of more than 40,000,000
miles. A home comparison would be
the seeing of a two inch ball at a dis
tance equal to that between Boston and
Now York.—Boston Transcript.
