WISDOM OP THE ELEPHANT. Hs ■■»«) When II* IIm llssn Swindled ■ nd Vliorog.lf IlMtnii It, One day, says a writer of English military experiences, a heavy pun stuck in tho mud at the Imttnm of a stream ami tho tandem elephant was unhooitod to shove behind, or lift tho muzzlo of tho pun with his trunk. Hut ho would not; ho only Iwllowod and swayed uneasily, shiftlnp from ono foot to another in tho sticky mud. At last, with piteous, shrill trumpet,inp, ho touched tho sharp point of tho iron rlpht on tho muzzle. "llo says ho is afraid of hurtlnp himself, sahib," ex plained tho mahout. "Well,"answorod tho officer in Jest, “tell him to spoke tho wheel.” ••Promise him baekshoosh, sahib, and ho will.” "Very well." Tho olophant very carefully found a socuror footlnp, curled his trunk around a lower spoke, and made his wheel rovolvo. Then the shaft elephant put in his pondoroua weight and tho pun slowly rose out of tho mud and rolled up tho opposite bank. Tho triumphant mahout demanded backsheesh for ills Hooshlar llatti (wise olophant). "You scamp! You wanted tho backsheesh for yourself.” "No, sahib, 1 dare not cheat him, and if you don’t give him baekshoosh ho will remember you arc no gentleman and never work for you again.” "All right," said tho officer, tossing the man a couplo of rupees in succession. "How shall I know you don’t cheat hlmP" "Come and boo him feed this evening, sahib,” That ovonlng by moonlight tho officer was aummonod to hoo Hooshiur Hatti oat hla supper. Tho elephant waa swaying to and fro. fanning hlm aelf with a branch, and round tho lira atood huge ohupattloa—Hat cakes of flour, buttor and sugar — purchased with tho buckshoosh for tho llooahlar'a aupper. Tho mahout took up ono of the oakoa and olTorod It to the ‘<wl.se one,” who weighed It carefully in hla trunk and then deposited it with a aatlafled amuck, in his raw-looking mouth. “Now, sahib, thla second ohupattlo'is light weight, aoe him And it out” The elephants aro accustomed to certain ration weight, and when tho Hooshiar took this cake by the odge an angry twlnklo came Into his wicked llttlo eye, and, quick aa lightning he •lapped tho mahout In tho face with the leathery mass. “See, sahib,” orlod the man in glee, “I dare not cheat him!" And he picked himself up and offered a larger ohupattle. “Here, you foolish one! Did I evor cheat youP This one Is overweight.” The elephant understood and ate In forgiving tranquility. Aad the 1‘oor 'look Him In, Dr. Dobbin, an old-fashlonod cler gyman of Dublin, waa noted for hla kindness to the poor, and for hla sim plicity in trusting them. Once a man waa begging at the clergyman’s car riage window. Having no change about him, he handod the beggar a guinea, saying: “(Jo, my poor man, get me change for that and I will give you a shilling.” He never saw the beggar’s face again. Ono day his wife, on coming home, found him 'n the hall with his hands be hind his back, as if hiding something. She Insisted on knowing what It was, and he timidly brought out from be hind hla back a roasted log of mutton. He had quiotly taken it from the spit in the kitchen, to give to a poor woman at the door. A Rat-righting RojyUry.. 'JlWSSGr&r'tieorge Sldman has tT fP®Wbr who has taken upon himself ^■ute care of a brood of about ten small ohleks. The king of the barnyard takes special pains to be with those little featherod ones on all occasions to defend them and soo that they have fair olay. Mr Sldman has discovered that rats attompt to got the grain fed his little chicks, and one day caught the rooster, defending the little brood while eating their meal. Tho rooster took a position near where the rats made their appearance to got the grain, as fast as one of the rodents put its head in sight the rooster would peck their heads and thus chase them back into their holes.—Mead vllle, Pa., Trihunfl. llocki That Float la Water. A geologist who is "well up" in his business can name a dozen or twenty different specimens of rocks and minerals that have less specific gravity than water, and which will, if tossed into that element, float on the surfaco. Huberlite is one of the best known representatives of that class; the com mon pumice stone is another example. The rock with the very least speci fic gravity known is "damari," a sub stance found in an extinct volcano in Damaraland. Its atomic weight is 0.5, or exactly one-half that of hydrogen. Of Courses Mr. Lenz, photographer—I have not, for a long time, had so good a sitter as you are. The expression is exactly right. How did you guin such control over the facial muscles?

Ilow Its rams to Fnrulah Ona or lilckana’ ( harastam. Notwithstanding all that has boon written of the sourco of Dickons’ characters, no ono has told of tlio origin of Miss llavlsham. That weird est , most uncanny croatlon of Dickons’ Drain has boon loft to 1m unraveled by an odd water-front individual, now dead, who for years was known in this city by the solo title of “Old Fuller.’’ “Old Fuller’’ wus us fond of alo as any Kngllshmun that over lived, ac cording to the San Francisco Call, and it occasioned no little surprise when ho stopped drinking and began saving his money for a trip buck to “dear old Lunnon.” When he re turned from his native country after a fow months this story hud fastonod it solf most flxodly in his mind. One reason why “Old Fuller” may be ac credited with the discovery of the original model for Miss Haivsham is that ho had never heard of Charles Dickens, and was totally Ignorant, as to whether ho was a novelist or car ••Old Fuller's” story runs llko tills. When ho was a small boy In London hr know with awo a smart, H]irueo young liquor dealer. Temperate, bright and amtiitlous, lie was on the high road to wealth. As ho hud been "Old Fuller’s" ideal of all that was great when he visited London ho took partieulur euro to hunt him up. Instead of tho gallant, manly young fellow he was a shrunken, shriveled old frame, lmir that for ‘JO yoars had not been eut, uml flesh sallow from lack of bathing. Tho clothes that, lie wore had never boon rotnovod in that space, and his apurtmonts during that time had not boon swept. In the din ing room an oxtensivo banquet hod been prepared, and a crumbling wed ding cake was tlioro which tho rats were dovourlng. Tho cause of tho change In tho hale, hearty Kngllshman is common enough not to cause eomment-~hls lietrothod deserted him at tho altar, as had Miss Ilavlsham’s lover twenty live yoarB before. For two decades he had lived in seclusion unmindful of everything but that day. lie never removed his wedding suit, or allowed his chambers to bo changod in the minutest detail. So ho became known by tho lovers of tho curious through out London as "Dirty Hill.” Unlike tho jilted Miss llavisham, disappointment loft him but a dazed, listless purposeless, agod man, waiting calmly for tho false woman to roturn to him. Miss llavisham, on the con trary, lieing a woman, could not for get tho slight to her charms, and l>c came vindictive. Tho vanity of a “woman scorned" was too much af fected for her to suffer silently in soli tude, and so, in "(ireat Expectations,” Miss llavisham rears the beautiful Stella that, through her, she may lie able to rejoice in that doep, over whelming intoxicant—revengo. Sho even sends for the poor little l’lp, a blacksmith’s apprentice, that ho may love Stolla hopolessly. Tho devil could not shout more gleefully over a lost soul than did Miss llav isham intornally when sho saw that by separating l’lp and Stolla she had wrockod his life. It was only after years of unhappi ness that both wandered back to tho house whore they first mot, and I’ip was able to say, as ho did at the close of tho book: "I took her hand in mine and we wont out of the ruined place; and as th<j morning mists had fifty?'long'ago when l first leic the forgo, so the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to mo I saw no shadow of another parting from her.” Harder Than Kbon y. Several species of ironwood have long been known and widely used on account of their extraordinary weight and hardness, in the manufacture of such articles us axles and plows. It is claimed, however, that these are entirely surpassed by a certain true found in Northern Transvaal, regard ing which M. Haisaux, at present trav eling in South Africa, has transinitted a note to the Geographical society of Franco. The wood is a sort of ebony, and so excessively hard that it cannot be cut in the ordinary manner except when green. When mature and dry it resists every known tool and blunts or breaks the finest tempered steel. It is apparently almost impregnablo against fire, as it required a fort night's constant burning to reduce tho trunk of ono of tho trees to ashes, and, although heavy, it is said to be considerably lighter than steel or iron. —Invention. Stamp* In Canada. At some of the Canadian postoftlco® tho sign is displayed '•United States stamps sold here.” This has no sanc tion from the authorities, but the clerks are allowed to buy and sell for their own profit aud the unquestioned convenience of Canadians who want to send small sums by mail, or to in close stamps for answers. They charge a profit of about ten per cent on stamps in bulk.

Tho Indians of this county have just closed a religious revival and havo left for Pacific county, where thoy will endeavor to rokln lie a religious spirit among tho tribes there, says tho Aberdeen correspondent of tho Port land Oregonian. Their religion is very unique, strikingly original and distinctly Indian. It is known as tho Shaker religion. It is said that it first, originated in tho sound country among tho Mud Pay Indians. Tho story is that one of tho triho, John Slocum, was taken sick and gradually wasted away and died. Preparations were made for tho funorai, hut John surprised his friends by coining to life again tho day tho funorai was to bo hold. lie stated thnt ho had gono to heaven, but that ho was told to go back to earth again and help his people; that they woro very wicked, and that ho must hoi]) them, llis rocovory was very rapid and ho at onco started this now sort. It forbids tho uso of kero sene oil as an illuminant; also tho uso of tobacco and intoxicating liquors of ' any kind. It has worked wonders ' among tho Chohalis county Indians, who previously woro not noted for thoir morality or sobrioty. One who has witnessed some of thoir meetings, Bays: "When a candidate announces a dosit-o to join ho is placed in tho center of tho room on his tip-toos, with his arms extended full length ovor his hoad. Tho crowd circles around him, singing, shouting, ring ing bolls and hammering anything that will muko a noiso. Frequently one of tho heavy bolls is broken, and this is hailed with doiight, as it is supposed that tho bad spirit lias loft tho candidate and entered into the boll, tilling it to bursting. When this happens tho candidate is completely eloansod from all ovil and is born ngain. Tho candidate for admission, after standing in tho position for a short time, commences to shako through fatigue. This is taken as a sign that tho good spirit is entering; and tho noiso and din uro, if possible, increased as tho poor victim’s shaking increases, until, from shoor exhaus tion, ho falls trembling to tho ground. His conversion is then complete and ho is admitted into full membership. AN EASY SHAVE. In Olden limes Nlmvlnv Was a Tortnr* «us lluslimss—\ llroti/e lluzor. “An easy shave?1’ The words eomn trippingly, an ifthoart, or rather tho mystery of shaving woro facile. From tho very earliest aces tho problem of shaving-, like all really groat probloms, has perplexed thoughtful men. Why our paleolithic ancestors began to shave is unascertained, says the Satur day Review. It seems so easy to let the chin alone. Thoro may liavo been some religious reason, or sexual se lection may have intervened. Women may have proterred a beardless wooer. Yet this is contrary to all analogy. When Alma Venus behaved in the, manner so poetically described ]('y Luerotius, ‘-the most eloquent of blas phemers,'’ then the wanton l%pwing procured for liimsolf another crest” and tho peacock spread abroad the splendor of his tail. / Tho beard in man is averred by , philosophers to have a corresponding moral. Rut man, being reasonable, must needs cut off his board, To run in tho face of nature has oyer boon his way of as , sorting his independence and demon strating* liis lordship of creation. Kro metals wero invented, ere fire subdued the copper to his will, man plucked his beard out. or ho tooled with a sharp sheil. A soapless shave with a shell—it cannot be called easy, and travelers have described tho agonies of tho brave. Conceivably, man shaved becauso the beard might be caught hold of by an enemy with the left hand, while with tho right he drovo tho pointed Hint under tho fifth rib. For whatever reason, man in tho bronze age shaved with a bronze razor, as if we should do so with a paper-cutter. The process must have been slow and painful--as much so as tattooing—but fashion was all-powerful. “ClcvelamU" In Many State*. There is a Cleveland in each of tho states, Alabama. Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho. Indiana, Illinois, Kan sas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Neva da, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio. Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia. Washington. West Virginia and Wisconsin, and they are printed in cold type without any more distinction for Cleveland, Ohio, than is accorded to six other money order ollices of tho same name. Tho Ohio city was named for Moses Cleveland, tho **a” in whose name was knocked oat to accommodate a news paper with narrow columns. Chilian Competitive 1C.\* initiation*. To a foreigner, perhaps the most in teresting matter in all China is tho system of education pursued and tested by a series of competitive ex aminations in which tens of thousands take part annually and by which any man may win for himself an impor tant official post. Unfortunately it is merely education in the knowledge of tho works of Confucius and the "cor- i rect classical employment of Chinese characters. I!h<1 a Serious Occupation. She—Papa's chief objection to you is that you have no occupation. Ho —No occupation? Good gwaeious! Doesn't he know that I am waising a mustache?—New York Weekly. Kepartee. “My dear." said Mr. Kickles, “you are, to say the least, very hard' to please.” “Oh, I don't know about that,” I married you. you know.” The I)«tIP» Tower. The Devil’s tower, a geological won der, which stands on the Bello Fouchre river in the Black Hills region, and of ! which a goologist of international reputation said: “It is a remarkable freak of nature, and appears not to have been repeated elsewhere on the earth’s surface, but stands alone, unique and mysterious,” is believed to lie the cone of a cooled down volcano. At a distance it looks like a huge cusk or barrel made of gig-antic tim bors, the sides being roughly fur rowed with crystals of trachyte. Its height is (> >;) feet and tho walls on all sides are so noarly smooth and per pendicular that no human being has ever been able to climb to tho top. Its diameter at tho base is 71*0 foot,, and at tho summit (estimated) 350 feet. — St. Louis Republic. CrlRln or the Word Doyley. The word doyley, now a familiar ono with tho ladies is derived from tho name of Robert D’Oyley. ono of tho followers of William tho Norman. IIo received a grant of valuable lands on the condition of tho yearly tender of a table cloth of 3 shillings valuo at the feast of St. Michael. Agree ably to the fushion of tho time tho Indies of the D’Oyley family wore ac customed to embroider and ornament tho quit rent table cloths: hence these cloths, becoming curiosities and ac cumulating in tho course of years, were at length brought into use as nupkins at the royal table and called doyloys. — New York Recorder.
