A SLAVE TO DUTY.

| An Elephant That Woul Not Negiest a

Baby It Was Caring For. Marie A. Millie, in St. Nicholas, tells

| @ number of “Stories of Elephants. ’’

Mrs. Millie says:

Some time before the elephant hunt I have described my husband was at a station in Bengal. His work kept him out nearly all. day, and, being il, I used to hie for hours ima long garden chair on the veranda, too weak to read or enjoy any: more exciting amusement than my eyes supplied tome.

We had three elephants for our tents end baggage, and one dear creature ased to feed from my hands every day and seemed.as gentle as-any pet dog or cat.

One of our government chaprasis was particularly devoted to. her and invari- ably shared his meal ef fruit or flour cakes with his dumb friend. On a par- ticularly hot day the chaprasi, to my surprise, placed his. tiny child of 6 months at:the elephant’s feet, warning her expressively that the infant was in her charge and was to be cared for till his return. I myself was an eyewitness of her wonderful sagacity. Large ba- nana treet; and fig trees grew around, and, to my surprise, the elephant broke off one of the former’s spreading leaves, heid it like a fan in her trunk and from time to time gracefully waved it over the slumbering child, whether to tem- per the heat of the atmosphere or to keep off flies, Iam unable to say. The gentle way in which she moved her feet over the child and across to each side astounded me. I sent for a white loaf and some eranges, and, calling her by name (she was never chained), tried in vain to tempt her to my side on the low veranda. Nothing would induce her to leave her charge. The warm air and monotonous wave of the swinging fan overpowered me with drowsiness, to which I yielded, and, after a sleep of some duration, I was awakened by quiet, subdued snorts beside ma To my surprise I found that the chaprasi had just returned to his offspring, and the elephant stood pear the veranda be- side me, patiently waiting and gently asking for the tempting dainties so bravely withstood for over twe hours.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

There is more snuff used in Boston than im any other city in the United States.

The atmosphere is so clear in Zulu- land that, it is said, objects can be seen by starlight eta distance of seven miles.

In the jailyard of a Mexican prison the warden has caused a phonograph to be placed which repeats to the convicts the charges made against them in the voices of their victims.

A sitgle bell is made by a German manufacturer to give more than one note. A number of dents divide the bell into sections of different sizes, and each section when struck emits a tone corre- sponding to its size.

Switzerland’s bears were supposed to be extinct, but some chamois hunters in the lower Engadine recently shot and secured one and report that another es- caped them. This will add to the ex- ciiement of mountain climbing in the Alps.

A 8t. Denis (France) suicide selected roasting as the means of his taking off. He built a big fire in his fireplace, lay down close before it and wrote down his impressions as long as he could. The body was in a shocking condition when found.

PITH AND POINT.

You can’t put enough clothes ona worthless man to disguise him.

That which a man dreads most in marriage a woman thinks most of.

A man who can’t make a success of business is nearly always very affection- ate.

When a man for any reason is unable to attend a show, he usually says it iz not good.

Most people have seen worse things in private than they pretend to ba shocked at in public.

A truly great man is one who can live in a very small town and refuse to be- come small in his opinions.

After a girl has been out of town to take singing lessons it is no lorger said that she sings a song, but that she’ “*renders’’ it.--Atchison Globe.
