An Elephant on the Track.

As railroad train was passing through
the forest, about thirty-five miles from
Rangoon, India, short time ago, driven
by Mr.. Stone, locomotive superintendent,
assisted by Mr.. Stewart, locomotive fire.
man, large elephant. was seen to break
through the fence and get on the line.
Steam was shut off, and Mr.. Stone tried
to open the waste cock, which being in
front of the engine, would, by ejeeting
hot water some distance ahead, induce
"tusks" to leave the track. 1t could not
be readily opened, and the engine was
soon upon the unfortunate beast. The
buffer beams of the engine being very
low, the beasts hind legs were taken
from under him, and he was forced to
sit down, as it were, with his hindquar-
ters against the smoke house door, which
was, Of course, red hot. The poor beast
managed to keep his fore feet going,
though hustled along faster than ever he
had gone in his life before, and In few
minutes the train came to standstn,
and he got away. He moved off the
line at the double, uproOted a clump OF
bamboo, then wreaked dire vengeance
on a tree, and was last seen rushing
through the jungle, tearing and smash
ing everything in his path. He was
sadly cut and bruised in the hindquar-
ters, and will probably never be Of any
use again. The mahout luckily escaped
with his life, while those on the engine
may safely congratulate themselves on
their escape.

AntIdotA TO Snake RItes.

On the subject of snake bites, a very
interesting communication has lately
been received in India from an American
gentleman, Mr.. Koseieky, recommending
the gall of rattlesnakes as an antdOte
for snake bites. Mr.. Koscicky, who be-
came acquainted with the antidote at
Venezuela, states that it is not only
cheap and infallible, but instantaneous
and wonderful in its effects-crows and
dogs in the last stages of the poison re-
covering as soon as the remedy was ad-
ministered to them. Ths preparation
of the antidote is simple: Three rat
tlesnakes' gals put into an ordinary
wine bottle filed with 80 deg. spirits,
and allowed to stand for a week. In or
binary cases one or two tablespOonfuls
ara taken; in extreme cases, three to
six. Mr., Koscicky recommends expert,
ments being made in this country with
other snake gals. DR.. Fayrer agrees
with this recommendation, and refers
Mr.. Koseicky's letter to the committee
at Calcutta for investigating snake pois-
on. The idea, however, ne says, is not
a new one, for in the ''Tkanatophid of
India, the result of an experiment With
the. antidote Is recorded; and he Is Of
opinion that when brought to the test OF
scientific investigation, it viii not prove
more successful than many other 1anti-
dotes" which have hitherto been tried
and have failed.

Worth Dying For.

/ am no teller of stories, says Hazlit
yet there is one belonging to Bur
leigh House of which I happened to
know some of the particulars. The late
Earl of Exeter was divorced from his
wife, woman of fashion and of some
what tmore gayety of manners than lords
who love their ladies" like. He determ-
ined to seek second in an humble
sphere of life, and that it should be one
who, having no knowledge of his rank,
should love him for himself alone. For
this purpose he went and settled incog-
nito, under the name of Mr.. Jones, at
Honet, an obscure village in Shropshire.
He made overtures to one or two damsels
in the neighborhood, but they were too
knowing 10 be taken in by him. His
manners were not boorish; his mode of
life was retired; it was odd how he got
his livelihood; and at last he began to
be thought highwaymah. In this di-
lemma he turned to Miss Higgins, the
eldest daughter of q small farmer at
whose house he lodged Miss Higgins,
it would seem, had not been used to
romp with the village clowns; there was
something in the manner of their quiet
but eccentric guest which she liked.
ANoNhAs LinpAC0 AOA Will u AlLu Va ~
gard which ne wished for, he made hon
orable proposals to her, and at the end
of some months they were married,
without his letting her know who he was.
They set off in a postchaise from her
fathers house and travelled across the
country. In this manner they arrived
at Stamford. and passed through the
town without stopping, until they came
to the entrance to Bnrleigh Park, which
is on the outside of it. The gates few
open, and the chaise drove down the
long avenue of trees that led up to the
front of this fine old mansion. As they
drew near to it, and she seemed surpris-
ed at where they were going, her hus-
band said to her:
"Well, my dear, this is Burleigh House;
it is the house / promised TO bring you
to- and you are the Countess of ExeterT p
1t is said that the shock was too much
for the poor young creature, and that she
never recovered from it. 1t was q sensa-
ton worth dying for. The world was
worth making, had it only been for this.
] never wish to have been lord but
when I think Of this story.

lands needed for exploration and cultl-
walton to be closed against settlement at
the whim of beggarly crew Of red
men2
The answer to all these questions
seems patent to the thinking mind. No
one denies that something must be done,
and that speedily, to cure the long brood
ing evil, and the only difference is as to
the hOlD it can be accomplished. In this
both cost and human life are conditions
precedent to any adjustment, and must
be considered equally with the conquer
ing of peace But the end should not
be put of. There should be a speedy
settlement and a final one. 1t is mis-
taken policy to be forever daily ing; it is
not merciful one. There is no valid
reason why the Indians who share she
benefit of the laws should not abide by
and respect them, and it is ridiculous
that q handful of half naked savages
should longer defy. Mercy and benefits
have been scornfully refused, and the
power that dWells behind the throne
should be summoned. Like the farmer
written of in the old spelling-books, VIC
have tried what virtue there was il,
grass sufficiently long to prove its
Forthlessness, and now we should not
Hesitate to take stones
The question of forbearanca and mer-
cy has two bearings, and that given to
the red man has proven, times without
number, death to the white man. But
the problem is before the country and
must be solved. There can be no longer
dodging. The day of putting off has
ceased the time for action come. What
shall the answer beP The old and
bungling fashion of waiting until the
horse is stolen before locking the barn
door, OF prompt and energetic movement
against the hour when the War-cryGShall
ring, and the prairie be made red with
innocent blood? Mercy and tenderness
have been worse than useless, and must
the bitter and terrible word be written

The HorsA and His Rldnr.

In the history Of Rome, says Cook, it
is related that in 33l, B. c., q great
chasm opened in the middle of the
forum, which It was found impossible to
fill. The soOthsayers said it would close
when it contained what Rome possessed
Of most value, and then the state would
be perpetual. A noble youth named ID.
Curtius, demanded if Rome had any
thingof more value than arms and valor.
He mounted his horse, richly capa-
risoned, and amid the silence OF the
people, spurred him over the brink OF
the tremendous precipice (USde l4iV. !. VII

this somewhere. It represented the
horse and rider after they had passed

thor, "are sure to see good in eyery.

they are also sure to see beauty in every-
thing and everywhere. When we are
at peace with ourselves and the world, it
is as though we gazed upon outward
things through a golden-tinted glass, and
saw glory resting upon them all. We

TaIma, the Greatest Of Frsnch AetOrs.

Fleury, who had been an eyewitness
Of his early successes, and who, from the
political antagOnism formerly existing
between them, can certainly not be
deemed an over-partial Judge, thus
speaks Of him in one of the concluding
chapters of his memoirs: '9Talma in

only form of shadow, with reality; for
without him it would not exist. Nova
days, the tragedian is no longer the in
berpreter of the poet; the latter merely
furnishes the sketch which in the artists
hands becomes a picture. With such in
sufficient materials at his command,
Talma has, during the last twenty years,
In my opinion, performed Miracles" a
still more graphic description is that
given by Macready, in passage from
his diary dated 1922: "The genius of
Talma rose above all the eonventionality
of schools. Every turn and movement
as he trod the stage might have given q
model for the sculptor's art, and yet all
was effected with such apparent absence
of preparation as made him seem utterly
unconscious Of the digni6ed and grace
full attitudes he presented. His voice
was flexible and powerful, and his
delivery artieulate to the finest point
without trace of pedantry. His
object was not to dazzle or surprise by
isolated effects the character was his
aim-he put on the man, and was atten-
tive to every minutest trait that might
distinguish him. To my judgment he
was the most finished artist of his time |;
not below Kean in his most energetic
displays, and far above him in the re-
finement of mis- taste, and extent of his
research equaling Kemble in dignity,
unfettered by stiffness and formahty."
This accomplished actor occasionally
visited London, and treated the amateurs
of that metropolis to a taste Of his
quality, by performing selections from
his most popular pieces in company with
Mile. Georges. He was an intimate
friend and great admirer Of John KEN
bic, and was present, not only at the
tragedian's farewell appearance, but also
at the dinner subsequently given in his
honor. He spoke English huently, but
Witha strong accent; that no could write
it perfectly is evident from the letter
quoted in Mr.. Raymond's memoir of
Elliston, in acknowledgment Of q hand
some Roman sword sent to him by the
Drury Lane manager. This epistle was
highly interesting, and expressed with
equal elegance and correctness In
private life he was thoroughly amiable,
fond of society, and entirely free from
pretension. Once off the stage ne was
no longer the actor, but the polished
and genial man of the world, eager to
oblige Others, and never happier than
when it was in his power to serve them.
Generous and Open-handed to excess,
he was far more disposed to squander
than to hoard and through his reckless
ness in money matters, found himself
more than once in embarrassed ciroum-
stances. "If my tastes were as expen-
sive as your" ," one day remarked his
wife; 'if / wished for diamonds and
brilliant equipages, what would you
sayP' an that case, my dear" coolly
replied Talma, II should say that We
