MASSAGING A TIGRESS
In one of the cages in the wild animal house, at Belle Vue, Manchester, Mrs. Lambert, tho woman keeper, massaged the nose and throat of “Kitty Peace,” a Bengal tigress, who is suffering from a severe cold. “Lucifer”-—a peacock who became so friendly with the tigress in the summer that he was put in the same cage and has shared' it since—looked on. Tho tigress has had a bad cold all the winter, and Mrs. Lambert has spent several hours every day in the cage applying' hot eucalyptus cloths to the animal’s throat. . It was surprising to see how docile the great beast was while she was at work. “I call her ‘Kitty Peace,’ ” said Mrs. Lambert, “because when sl» came to Belle Vue during the war she was very warlike, but after a while she settled down, and by the time the war was over she had become quite peaceful.”
