"Taking" an Elephant.

Whenever it becomes expedient from
death or otherwise, TO furnish an elephant
with a new keeper, or an old one is obliged
to bring him under snhjection, they "t.ke
him," as it is called in showman's parlsnce.
This is done by conining him beyond the
power Of resistance, and then beating him
until he trumpets forth his subjection and
Yields submission to his tormentors.
In this instance guy stakes were driven
in the ground. distance of about one hun.
dred feet, both in front and rear of the ele-
phant, and to these, ropes we're securely
fastened. running through falls and blocks,
and which, by every adroit management,
were attached to the fetters which compass
sed and bound his legs.
To accomplish this successfully. it was
necessary for one of the keepers to stand in
front Of him with a gun heavily loaded with
brdshot and whenever he offered to strike
at those who were fastening the ropes to bis
teiters, charge was fired into his trunk
causing him to roar with rage and pain, but
to desist from offensive demonstrate
When everything was ready the huge mon-
ster's legs were drawn from under him by
the men at the ropes, and he was brought to

the ground. His legs were then brought
together and bound similar to that OF a calf
tethered for the market, and then the work
of subsection Is commenced in earnest
His keeper the only man tina, was allowed
to utter word, advanced, and driving the
elephants spear deep into his hanks, COM
manded him in sharp, decisive tones to
"speak.' He met with no response but a
defiant blow from the elephants trunk. He
was then belabored for eight hours with
stout iron rods, and wounded with the
spears innumerable times, until he was

begged long and loud for mercy. He was
then released from his bonds, and rose To
his feet in very sorry plight, aud in such

rather expressive words of his keeper, "a

Dear D-:-I have not written you
for some time, and am rather ashamed OF

kind letter from you while at Genoa. But

found employment for all my spare tine in

times, comes hard, and is so readily post
poned, that | defer from day to day, what |
at other times find easy and most pleasant.
On my trip around through the interior |
wrote several letters which l hope you re-
ceived.
We laid in Genoa three or four weeks, and
had very good time, much of which was
due to the kind attention of our Consul,
Mr.. Spencer, former Presld, mt of the Iowa
State University-a gentleman who is
most worthily representing us at that place
We had a reciprocation of parties on shore
and on shipboard, and a very considerable
eriuyment of social courtesies that made
our stay very pleasant. Genoa, too, is a
very interesting city-fiom its history
more than from anything of an artistic
character it possesses, however. In the
latter connection it is behind any consider
able city of Italy, for neither in painting or
sculpture did it produce an artist Of emf

and her commercial activity, that Genoa
distinguished herself, and she subjected
and held the Crimea and large share Of
the Orient for two centuries, OverthroHing
there the power of Venice, with whom she
was often at war. She took a prominent
part in the trusades, and her noted Admi

country from French domination, but d

of Spain throughout Europe, whose cause
he espoused after his quarrel with France.
The defence of Genoa by Marshal Messena
against combined operations of the En-
glish at sea and the Austrans on land, in
1900, is one of the most memorable strug

The "I.oSY WOMEN" OF FIFTH Ayeyr


The "Losr WoMEN' OF FIFTH AVENUE.
Some evidences of discomfort with an
aimless life have appeared even in the Fifth
Avenue. For instance, at fashionab a
party few evenings since, q beautf,
Young woman turned sharply upon an eide, :
ly dowager who was pressing about the Ma.
dalens. aud the hopelessness Of doing an, :
thing for these 'lost women," with the as.
sertion, II know a class more hopeless,y
lost than they. We fashionables, who M, t.
der time, and squander money, and lead
women to become Magdalens that they may
dress like us. Why does nobody send mis-
sionaries to us?' The bitter intensity Of
the utterance was eloquent of better possi-
blities. No doubt there are more waya
than one of being lost. The syrens are noa
all OF one class or confined to one locality.
