TAMED BY KINDNESS
The Methods of the Elephant Hunter
In the Far East
This is how elephants are hunted in
Ceylon The people begin by clearing
an open space near a forest part of
which is strongly fenced in with trunks
of trees with open places for doors
Then the elephants are found and with
I blazing torches rattling of noisy in
struments and spears are driven to
ward tho open doors
At last with a rush the great herd
enters the entrances are barred and
the poor giants of the wood find them
selves hopelessly imprisoned An ele
phants rage is dreadful to witness but
the ingenuity of man has found a way
of subduing it One by one each pris
oner is freed again and tame ele
phants remarkable for their sagacity
come up to him stroke him with their
trunks and otherwise cajole him until
they lead him on to a good strong tree
The natives creep up behind and in a
minute the elephant is made fast to the
tree by his leg
All the timo this is going on the tame
elephants are humoring their deluded
victim but as soon as he is secured
they go away and leave him Then
the men bring him coeoanuts and
leaves to eat which of course he re
fuses as he Is again in a great passion
and struggling to be free
But hunger subdues oven the fiercest
and at last his wild roaring ceases and
he eats From that time the taming
process is comparatively easy Again
and again he is fed as he requires it
by a kind hand and the elephant sus
ceptible to kindness becomes at Inst a
docile servant of the man
White Ants of Africa
Natives of the east coast of Africa
do not object to the presence of the
great white ant colonies in their neigh
borhood The ants exercise great fer
tilizing power on the crops A resi
dent of that country writes Every
season I have seen the wonderful ef
fects the white ant hill produces on the
Kaffirs maize and corn Whenever
there happens to be an ant hill in a gar
den its immediate vicinity can be at
once distinguished as the maize and
corn are fully double the size of the
surrounding crop The bush country
a few miles from this place is swarm
ing with white ants and has also a
large native population The ants do
not attack green crops to any extent
A Taste For Dosrs
Mark Twain was once talking of war
and of the hardships and privations of
sieges
A Frenchman he said called one
day on a woman who had two dogs
They were ugly little brutes and when
they came near him the man pushed
them out of the way with his foot
I perceive sir said the woman
coldly that you are not very fond of
dogs
The man started in surprise
I not fond of dogs he exclaimed
Why madam I ate more than twenty
of them during the siege of Paris
A Patient Man
The endurance of the music lover who
sits out one of Wagners long Ring
operas has often been commented
upon but perhaps not more forcibly
than In London Well up abovo the
stage was a burly figure in homespun
evidently a Scottish farmer who had
come to London to see the sights and
hear the sounds After sitting through
three long acts he murmured audibly
Twas a patient mon that wrote nil
