"MY son, would you like to steal one

How TENDER and soft is the voice OF
love, how low and sweet the intona-
tions of a lovers words, and yet the
tenderest lover that ever held a girl in
his arms and jabbed belt-pin about
sixteen inches into his thumb, never
was able to kiss his sweetheart ON the
front porch without startling the SOL
emn, voiceless night with smack that
scared the dog in his kennel by the al

1T is difficult to say what constitutes
the beauty of a woman. The Sand
witch islanders estimate women by their
weight. The Chinese require them to
have deformed feet and black teeth. A
girl must be tattooed sky-blue and
wear nose ring to Salty a South Sea
Islander. African Princes require their
brides to have their teeth filed like
those of a saw. And thus goes the
world, the criterion of beauty differing
according to latitude and longitude

Mr.. SANDERsoN, the author OF
Thirteen Years Among the Wild
Beasts of India" gives some very in
teresting statements about elephants;
and, as he was engaged for several
years in capturing the animal, it is pre-
sumed his statements are facts. al
though he differs from other writer's.
With regard to Sir Emerson Tennent's
story about an elephant that leaped
over barricade fifteen feet high, Mr..
Sanderson says the animal cannot take
its four feet off the ground at the same
moment, and can neither canter, gal
lop nor trot. The elephant, he says, is
often stupid animal, but he is obedi-
ent, gentle and patient. flow long the
wild elephant lives is uncertain; but
MIR. Sanderson thinks it attains to at
least $50 years. Much exaggeration is
current with regard to the animals
height; the largest seen by the author
measured nine feet ten inches at the
shoulder, and yet there have been
stories of Indian elephants measuring
from seventeen to twenty feet high.
Twice round an elephants foot is said
to be his height, and generally this
measurement is exact. The price of ell
ephants has enormously increased OF
late years. An elephant which costs
the Government $500 to capture would
bring over 500 in the market.
