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.

^■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.,

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.

“OLD FULLER."
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.

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.

SHAKER INDIANS OP THE WEST
A ynwr Nett 1 hat ! lonrUlini In tbs
Mwto of IVnAlitnifflnii.
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.

To a foreigner, perhaps the most in

system of education pursued and
tested by a series of competitive ex

take part annually and by which any
man may win for himself an impor

merely education in the knowledge of
tho works of Confucius and the "cor- i
