Elephants as Timber Carriers.

0ne Of the great industries Of Bur
nah is the timber trade. The teak
wood; which is the CHEF timber Gu.
and shipped, is very heavy, and re-
qu;re5 prodigious force to handle it;
and as the Burmese are not far
enough advanced to use machinery
for the purpose, they employ ele-
plants, and bravely do the noble
beasts perform their task. In the
timber yards both at Rangoon and
AZ Maulmain, all the heavy work Of
drawing aud PilIDg tie logs 10 done
by them | have never seen animals
showing such intelligence, and train
ed to such doeility and obedience.
In the yard that we visited there
were seven elephants, FIVE of which
were at that moment at work. Their
wonderful strength came into play in
moving huge pieces Of timber. l
did not measure the logs, but should
think that many were at least twenty
feet long and foot square. Yet a
male elephant would stoop down,
aud run bis tusks under q log, an5
throw his trunk over it, and walk of
with it as lightly as a gentleman
would balance his bamboo cane on
the tip of his finger. Placing it on
the pile, be would measure it with
his eye, and if it projected too far at
either end, would walk up to it, and
with gentle push or pull make the
pile even.
If still heavier log needed TO be
moved on the ground to some part
of the yard, the mahout, sitting on
the elephants head, would tell him
what to do, and the great creature
seemed to have perfect understand
ing Of his masters will. He would
put out his enormous foot and push
it along; or he would bend his head,
and crouching half way to the ground,
and doubling up bis trunk in front,
thTow his whole weight against it,
and thus like ram, would "but" the
log into its place or if it needed to
be taken a greater distance, be would
put chain around it, and drag 1t off
behind him. The female elephant
especially employed in drawing, as
having no tusks, she could not lift
like her big brothers. but could only
move by her power of traction or at
traction. Then using her trunk as
deity as a lady would use her
fingers, she would unite the knot CT
unhitch the chain, and return to her
master, perhaps putting out her trunk
to receive a banana as a reward for
her good conduct. 1t is very pref
ty sight, and gave US new idea Of
the value of these noble creatures,
AID of the way in which they can be
trained for the service of man.

THE RrnE OF THE STOVE MAN

II is the man Of Summer street,
Most woe-begvne 10 see,
He doaged the friends whom he may meet,
Who loudly laughed at lie.
For under his arm he bears pipe,
That exc belongs to the stove,
And the elbow he grasps in his griDy hlni,
To the pipe it must be rove.
Loud laughs his friends, ''Ha, ha, ho, no,
And exc they cry, II say
withhold thy chaf,'' the victim cried,
Eftsoons their chat held they.
The house was clean, the sun was bright
Cbeerily dawned the day,
Bring up the stove" the go)i wife criel,
I'm brook me no delay"
sin wild unrest beat my breast,
But could not but choose but do;
The rusty stove from the shed brought,
The pipe and the elbow, too.
''The SCOT was here, the SCOT was there,
The SCOT was all around,
And fakes of rust on the carpet stood
Like hoar frost on the ground.
Down dropped the pipe, the elbow FELL
The good wife scolded free,
And the nisfit joints they wrought spell.
That raised old Cain with me.
About, about, and in and out,
The joints showed and GRAINED:
With many a wall and many a shout,
And much unseemly laugh.
Il pounded them in. pried them out,
And hear, Oh man and brother,
BJth sads ol every joint Of pipe
Was bigger than the other.
They rasped my knuckles to the bone,
They pinched my grimmy skin,
They bled and blistered all they touched.
But could not drive them in.
"'Go way, go way, you awkward man,
The good wife spake to me,
dropped the elbow joint and ran,
As mad as mad could be.
"But I turned and watched with silent gazC
For wrath had made me dumb.
And saw the wife of my bosom raise
Blood blisters on her thumb.
Il saw her sink on the sooty floor
In agony and pain,
heard her wall, 'Oh, never more,
VIII marry a man again..
Right quick seized the mangled pipe,
And the elbow, battered free
And seek the man who maketh stoves,
To fix my stove for me.
'oh never again while life may last,

However may howl the winter blast,
To fool with a stove, l ween.r

CORDIAL.

Travellers, who are subject to so many
changes of water and diet, will find this
valuable article. The walls are small
and strong, and can be carried without
inconvenience.
This is no quack nostrum, but the
prescription of a regular and successful
city physician Of extensive practice and
reputation; the prescription has been
used for some years in our own families
with invariable success.
Every family should have bottle of
this Cordial ready for immediate use. A
single dose Of only few drops in the
early stage Of these diseases will often
check and cure the disorder.
During the late war it was given to
many of our friends and volunteers in
the army, who were suffering from Diar-
rhea, caused by change of water, un-
healthy and improperly cooked food,
and in every case it was used with the
best results.
1t is a scientific prescription prepared
with the greatest care, and we recon-
mend it with the utmost confidence as the
best remedy known for the diseases
mentioned.

A Curious Theft.

Lucy Hooper writes from Paris to the
Philadelphia Telegraph: "a curious the Fl

few days ago Madame de x chanced
to be driving in the Rue du Faubourg

tionary, returned 10 the shop. The pro-
prletor, on being questioned as to where
he had procured the ornaments stated
that he had purchased them from Mile.
L., pretty little actress belonging
to one of the minor Partisan theaters
The Commissiare proceeded at once to
the dwelling of Mile. L.. The horror
and distress OF the Marquise may be
imagined when Mile. l. declared that
she had received the trinkets in question
from Count 4, the sOh-in-laW of the
robDed lady. Further investigation
proved that the actress had told the
truth, aud that Count Z was un-
douDIedly the criminal. The case,
though flagrant one, is not without prec-
edent. Some years ago set OF black
pearls, unique in quality and of almost
priceless value, were stolen from mob e
dame of the Faubourg st, German. A
great hue and cry was raised, and the
police searched tar and wide for the
missing ornaments, but in vain. Years
after, a celebrated queen OF the dem-
monde sold out her possessions at auc-
lion. The fashionable world crowded
to behold the spIendors of her sumptu-
GUS hotel and Ol her equally sumptuous
wardrobe, for her Jewels, turs, laces and
shawls were included in the sale.
There, among diamonds, sapphires, and
emeralds, enough to stock a moderate
sized shop, glistened the long-lost and
peerless parure of black pearls. They
mad been stolen by the son OF their origl-
pal possessor, who had presented them
to the lorette in question:"
