Similar s6A to that which occasioned

from the family mansion, intending to
embrace the Mohsmmed religion and
marry tho man Of her choice. Informa-

runaway pair were caught and conduc-

The latter were in despair, and the
consul telegraphed to his chief az Con-

What a Base Ball Club Costs.

Few outside of the base ball interest
have but faint idea of the amount of
capital necessary to support a nine
during a season, or who it is that fur
nishes this capital. A person who has
followed the profession and is sup
posed to know whereof he speaks, esti-
mates that the expenses of such clubs
as the Bostons and Hartfords are
81, 900 per man for the six months in
which he is engaged. This includes
salary, hotel bills and railroad fare.
Three years ago, when the salaries
were at the highest point, the captains
of at least four mines received not less
than $4,000 for the season, and more
than one was retained at higher fig
ure. The pitchers and catchers re-
ceived from $1,000 to $4,000, and the
field men averaged from 81, POO to
81 800. Last year there was a general
cutting down all around, and there has
been a slight reduction the present sea-

About Elephants.

MIR. g. P. Sanderson, an English
writer, deals at considerable length with
the subject of elephants. Many of his
statements about the Indian elephant
will be found to differ from the opinions
commonly held, and also from the in
teresting descriptions of the animal
published by Sir Emerson Tennent.
This book, Mr. Sanderson observes, has
removed some of the grossest misap-
prehensions regarding the elephant, but
50 it is full of the errors which are una
voidable when man writes on a sub
ject with which he has no practical ac-
quaintance;n and in many places theory
and fancy are said to be substituted for
fact. Thus, for instance, Sir Emerson
Tennent tells a story of an elephant
that leaped over barricade fifteen feet
high, whereas the animal cannot take
its four feet off the ground at the same
moment, and can neither canter, gallop,
nor trot. And, according to Mr.. San
derson, the elephant is in many re-
spects stupid animal. Its chief vir-
tues, he says, are obedience, gentleness,
and patience. But this gentleness may
surely be regarded, on the writer own
showing, as sign of intelligence.
''The most intelligent horse, ;" he
writes, "cannot be depended on not to
tread on its masters toes, and, if terri
fed, makes no hesitation in dashing
away, even should he upset any one in
so doing. But elephants, even huge
tuskers whose heads are high in the
air, and whose keepers are mere pigmies
beside them, are so cautious that acct
dents very seldom occur through care
lessness on their part
Elephants travel in herds and in strict
Indian file. When calf is born the
herd remains with the mother two DAYS;
the calf is then able to travel, and can
cross rivers and climb hills with the as
sistance of its dam. Elephants are said
to swim better than any other land ami
mails, and Mr.. Sanderson relates that a
batch of seventy-nine which he sent
from Dacca to Barrackpur had the
Ganges and several of its large tidal
branches to cross. Sin the longest swim
they were six hours without touching
the bottom. After rest on sand bank,
they completed the swim in three more.
Not one was lost" Mr.. Sanderson OBJ
serves that the remains of an elephant
that had died natural death are scarce
ly ever met with. He has never seen
such remains himself, and never met
any one amongst the jungle tribes or
professional elephant hunters who had
done so except at time when murrain
visited the forests. '' Bones" he writes,
"would not decay for some years, and
teeth and tusks would survive for some
time; yet not single pair of worries
has ever, as far as Tknow, been found
in the Mysore jungles during the time
l have known them" The writer can
give no explanation of this fact.

Missouri River Mosquitoes.

"Young man, you don't know what a
mosquito is. You have, maybe, been
worried by single mosquito, and
thought of doing awful things. Maybe
YOU boarded where they were too eco
nomical to put up nets, or maybe you
have been fishing in some of these
Illinois lakes; but without you have
been to the tropics, or put up the Mis-
souri, river, you are baby when it
comes down to mosquitoes. Up there
you get them in every style and shape
Some of them are pretty and some of
them are ugly; some are big and some
are little, but all the same-big, little,
black, brown, red or green-they have
agreed upon one thing-they all bite,
and they bite hard. 1t is always con-
sidered necessary up there to wear Il
net over the face and to glove the hands.
That is no protection this summer. A
new brand of mosquitoes-th boys
call them 'skeeters' was introduced
this summer by Providence They are
so small that they penetrate the meshes
of the finest net The bigger ones will
bite through your clothes-yes, through
your boots and buckskin gloves. There
is no getting away from them. When
they kill cattle, it is pretty tough,
amt it?'
son the cattle? Yes
''Nell sir, we saw poor cattle rush
down into the water and wade in until
everything was covered but their heads,
and then the pests would light on their
heads in swarms, and bite their noses
and every place where they could settle
on, until the poor things bellowedin their
agony and closed their eyes and tossed
their heads. If they were human they
would commit suicide. AS it is they
are driven mad. Poor things, they are
nothing but skin and bones; mere
skeletons, clothed in swollen and ulcer
ated skins. Some of the boys killed a
few of them, but they were not fit to
bring on board. Same way with all
the animals, Antelope and deer were
reduced to nothing but skeletons by the
vampires. If you held out your hand
for quarter of a minute it would be
covered so thick with mosquitoes that
it would look like you had glove on.
The sufferings of the men We're awful.
1t is supposed that the natural oil on
the Negroes skin is offensive to the
pests. That is not SO. They took to
the niggers like babe to its milk. I'll
tell you how we were able to get
through. took down my stovepipes
and kept smoky fires burning all the
time. | had to have two small furnaces
making smoke in the pilot house all
the time, so that the pilots could work
The men were all broke up. Every
limb was swelled up and you could
not have recognized the features of
your own brother. The smoke was the
only protection, and it was pretty near
as bad as the mosquitoes. The eyes of
all the men were blood-shot. Life was
misery. -Interriew aUith Captain Barge

Labor and Wages IN Borde aux.

According to the report of United
States Consul Gerrish, Bordeaux, with
$50 wOrkingmen's societies, has thus
far been exempt from strikes, or other
reckless action, by any class of laboring
men. They are more patient orderly,
and prudent than the workingmen in
other parts of Europe.
Farm laborers are frequently so
economical as to become quite wealthy
proprietors. They are paid $50 to 400
francs a year, lodged and boarded; if
not boarded, but are lodged, they re-
ceive as high as 800 to $50 francs per
annum. Day laborers, without board,
receive q to francs day, with bot
tie of wine. A suit of clothes costs 10
TO 20 francs. Coopers, ship-carpenters,
and foremen i'll wine cellars, by great
frugality, attain a condition of compar-
ative independence. The average wa
ges of mechanics may be stated at to
- francs per day-an increase of near
Nv franc since 1873. The cost of liv-
ing has not increased, but rather de-
creased In 1873 the decrease was nota-
BILE in bread meat, and potatoes. A
government cigar factory was estab
lished here in 1916. 1t employs 150men
and | 400 women. The men earn about
} francs and the women 3 francs day.
The value of the tobacco used is 49,
t0G, 900 francs annually, much of which
is imported directly from the United
States. Over 700 cooper shops exist in
the district. employing more than 1000
men. The number of casks made an
nually is 1 ,200,0 900 and their value H.
100000 francs. The slaves come princi-
pally from the borders of the Baltic and
the Adriatic. A few come from the
United States. More would be imported
IL they were not so bunglingly made.
III is alleged that it takes a third longer
10 prepare an American stave than it
docs one from the Adriatic. They should
be split, not sawed. About 100000
bottles are made annually in the city
by seven factories, employing 700work-
ingmen, who are paid by the 100 bot
Ties; and who earn as hi oh as II francs
per day, according to their skill. Four
factories, with 800 men earning from 3
10 6 francs per day, make 100000
white glass preserve jars and perfumery
bottles. At least one-third as many
more are imported. Only fraction
of the number of corks used in Bordeaux
are made there, say 100000. Cork
CATERS receive 3 to 3! francs per 1000.
100,000,O00 of corks are imported.
More than 1,2O0 persons are engaged
in the manufacture of HqueurS and con-
f5teGreS. In the autumn, double the num-
Der are employed. Men earn from

half as much. The annual value of
