and presently had almost entirely
stopped, when the keeper slipped up
and struck him across the nose with his
stick. At this Don gave q howl and
began to ring the bell mriously, grow
ing louder and louder every minute,
until at length the keeper returned and
held out his hand to take the bell. But
the little eleghant was angry now and
would not give it up, and kept ringing
harder than ever, rs though determined
that since they had wanted him to ring
it so much he would give them enough
of IL. nor did he cease until the keeper
walked up and forcibly wrenched it
from him.
Then the keeper took Venus down TO
place where u double cable was
stretched across the stable, about a foot
from the ground She was commanded
to get on there and walk across, which
she did, moving very slowly and per-
forming the feat without single slip.
Next Don was called up and commando d
to go through the same performance.
This little elephant got upon the rope
turned his back away. Suddenly, when
Don had got about one third the dis
tance, he looked around and seeing the
keeper not looking he quickly slipped
his hind feet off the rope on 10 the
ground and thus propelled himself
quickly to the end and hurriedly disap-
peared into his shed. This sly trick
created great merriment among the
on-lookers. It was found, however,
that this trick had been taught him by
the keeper himself, who is preparing
Don for clowns part, whose business
is to burlesque things. The keeper had
purposely turned his back away. MS that
is the signal for Don to go through his
trick of deception Mr.. Craven, the
trainer, says the elephant has more in
tellect than any other living animal, and
believes they can be taught to appear on
the stage, taking parts in drama the

The Effect of Coffee.

DR.. Richardson, tie eminent English
scientist, refers to a statement that eof-
fee is an unhealthy beverage, that it
keeps up constant irritation of the
stomach, and brings on depression o!
spirits, etc. There was great deal OF
truth in that statement, says the doctor,
as coffee cannot be taken in excess with
out producing dyspepsia and irritation.
but moderately used it is an invigorat-
ing, healthful and wholesome drink,
bringing mans best energies into play.
The quantity taken, however. must not
be large, and should be good.
DIR. Book, of Leipsic, another cele-
brated scientist, says: 1.-THE nervous
ness and peevishness of our times are
chiefly attributable to tea and coffee;
the digestive organs of confirmed coffee
drinkers are in state of chronic de-
rangement, which reacts on the brain,
producing fretful and lachrymose
moods. Fine ladies addicted to strong
coffee have a characteristic temper,
which l might describe as a mania for
acting the prosecuted saint. Cocoa and
chocolate is neutral in its pyschic eff.
fects, and is really the most harmless OF
our fashionable drinks"

Tricks Of LILtIe EIephants.

The large elephants, after being made
to stand on their hind legs and elevate
their trunks, were allowed to go back
to their stalls, while the keepers went
to a small shed, partitiOned off in one
conner of the room, and brought out
five small elephants, three of the Afri-
can species, which had almost attained
their full growth. and two small Ash
attic elephants. called Venus and Adonis,
aged respectfully four and six years.
These two are the most amusing of the
whole collection and there seems to be
no end to the tricks they go through.
The moment they came out one of the
keepers took up large dinner bell and
called Donw Upon this Adonis, the
smaller OF the two, slowly walked up
and, catching the bell by his trunk, be-
gan to ring it. The keeper then turned
away to give his attention to Venus,
when Don began to tire of his work and
the ringing became f,inter and fainter

The Common Law.

What is called the common law,n
is, in the United States, with some
modification, the same as the "com-
mon law of England The phrase
means, in fact, ancient custom, as de-
clared by the courts. Suits are con-
tinually being brought, in which arises
some question of law or equity that has
never before arisen. There is no act or
statute law that applies to it. The
court then decides the matter accord.
ing to the general principles of justice.
The Judge, IN announcing his decision,
lays down a rule that, under certain cir
cumstances, a certain result follows.
This decision, if not reversed, becomes
guide and rule for all inferior courts,
and usually for those of equal dignity.
The whole body of such decisions forms
the common law of England.
When a lawyer is preparing TO argue
a case, he searches through the volumes
of reports 10 fad decisions upon SINH
lar cases. Of course, there are rarely
two suits where the facts are entirely
alike, and consequently the lawyer on
one side undertakes to prove that the
decisions cited do, and the opposing
lawyer that they do no., apply to the
case on trial.
that the common-law principle is an
cient is whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary that is 10
say, nobody can prove that at any form
er time the law or custom was differ
ent
The common law governs only when
there is no special act. A statute
supersedes or reverses common law.
Indeed, the statute is usually passed for
that purpose; and when it is repealed
the common law comes into force again.
Our fathers came to this country from
England, and naturally brought English
laws and customs with them. When
they separated from the mother coun-
try, they retained the old laws, and
built the new ones upon them. The
New York constitution of I777 adopted
rs law within that State the common
law of England, and the statutes also
rs they stood on certain date, so far
as they were applicable to the new
State.
AS our national customs have de-
parted further and further from those of
Great Britain, the common law of the
two countries has become different.
Yet, even now, there are no very wide
differences, and decisions by English
judges are often cited in our courts as
establishing the law.
Countries which do not sup pplement
their legislation with what we call com
mon law, are governed by code"
This is collection OF laws and princi-
pies, to which all cases, as they arise,
are referred. France is governed by the
Code Napoleon, which also forms the
basis of legislation in general way in
some other European countries.
Our State of Louisiana, which came
to us by purchase, has always been gov
eTned for the most part by n code,
which was modified from the Code Ma
poleon. But the English common law
is also in force even in that State.
The result of living under the COM
mon law is generally satisfactory. be-
cause, as a rule, the judges of both Eng
land and America have been men OF
wisdom and justice. But they have not
all been of equal intelligence and integ-
rity, and their work is, of course, not all
perfect. Chicago LEDGER.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD,


As long as we can remember, the
question rs to the best floors for horse
stables has been discussed. We have
tried clay and ordinary dirt, but they
did not prove satisfactory. Holes would
be dug almost daily by the fOrefeot, the
urine would gather there, and uAless
great care was taken to fill them up and
to smooth over the sol daily and wash
the horses feet, scratches would follow,
and probably what is commonly called
quarter-cInck result which is likely
permanently to injure the animals.
Sand and even sawdust have been
recommended, but rs they were clearly
not desirable, we never tried either.
We began with plank flooring, were
dissuaded from using it, but have re-
turned to it, and found it preferable 10
the Others We prefer hemlock, n
double two-inch plank, with the front
part kept well covered with straw at all
times for the fore-feet, and at nights TO
be well-bedded with straight rye straw.
We have found no disadvantages from
the flooring; the feet have not suffered,
so far as we can discover. Some object
to the planks, first, because they
are hard, and others that they be-
come slippery, and the horse is
naOlS 10 lall ana strain mmSeif
in getting up; but, if we re
member rightly, the plank roads were
not objected to on account of their hard
ness or slipperyness; and as 10 slipping,
if the flooring is little inclined the
water is carried back, whence n sliY ht

removes it from the stable on the outside,
or it is allowed to pass under the floor
through small holes in the gutter. But
where these arrangements have not
been made, covering of sifted
coal ashes over the floor will pre-
vent the slipping We have known
floors in stalls TO be made of boards or
planks turned up on an edge, which is
about as hard rs anything can be; also,
of hagstones, mortar, and even of as
phaltum, all which we should suppose
might prove injurious to the animal,
but we have never heard that they
were. Hemlock planks, laid as we have
mentioned, will prove, take all he Cir

The following verdict was recently
returned by n corontr's Jury In Ken
mare, Ireland, We find that the de-
ceased, Denis Sullivan, died suddenly
in the market house, Kcnmare, from
natural causes: and we further find,
after tho most painst"king investiga-
tion, that his death resulted from des.
titution and insult cheney Of food.n The
Kerry Sentinel says; The immediate
circumstances attending this poor mans
death reveal a truly Fad story. All
who know the prostrate condition ofour
people this trying year of famine know
that they suffer from a scarcity of fuel
ms well MS from u scarcity of food. The
year was unsuited, in great measure,
to the saving of turf, and, even in more
propitious years the price charged by
landlords for turbary is often so high
that poor people who have not con-
slant employment cannot manage to
purchase the bog. In this pressing
crisis the Marquis of Lansdowne,
who owns vast estates around Ken
mare, gave not stick or chip to afford
firing to the poor, and. it appears,
actually keeps q sort of sylvan Ce rberus
in the shape of "A wood bailiff to pre-
serve the rotten branches of trees and
bits of thorn from being taken home to
the fireless hearths of the poor. For
entering upon some part of the Marquis
of Lansdowne's property, and picking
bits of whitethorn for firing, the vile
of this poor man was brought to court
and fined. The inhumanity of the
act is best demonstrated from tie
fact that the bailiff who prose
cuted swore the value of the sticks
to be but one penny. For this mon
strous crime, this terrible injustice to
the most noble Marquis of LansdOwne,
the poor woman was fined in, between
costs and compensation, the sum Of 3s.
Id. The fine not being paid she was to
have been arrested and cast into Jail,
when the poor man rose up from that
bed where hunger and want had pros
trated him, and went in search OF an
official of the Lansdowne office who
owed him the amount; and it was while
engaged on this melancholy mission
that death overlook him.

Household Hints.

The best meat requires the simplest
preparation.
Never mix or place on the same dish,
meats or vegetables that are unlike in
flavor.
To boil meat, when the meat is to
DC eaten, plunge it in boiling water, so
as to scar the outside and retain the
juices.
To make soup, when the object is to
extract all the juices from the meat,
cut up in small pieces and put on in cold
water.
To roast meat properly, the air must
have free a cess to it. This is the rea-
son why meat roasted before an open
fire is more palatable than that roasted
(baked) in close oven.
Cheap utensils, of whatever kind, get
out of order easily and usually cumber
the kitchen, and annoy everybody who
has anything to do with them. In all
things relating to cookery the best is the
cheapest.
In building or choosing a house to
live IN, take care that the kitchen ia
roomy, and has plenty of sunlight. A
dark kitchen is ar abomination, and q

ences, even if the parlor suffers in con-

Neatness is the first virtue in the
kitchen. The dishes of careless cook
all have mixed flavor, as if cooked in
one pot. The general rule is to cook

meats. Broil, boil, roast, stew or bake

Dairy Notes.
In the manufacture of butter the Gus
tom has become general after churning
TO wash the butter with cold brine OF
greater or less strength, not only to
wash it once, but twice, if the first
washing does not remove every trace
of buttermilk.
/ An exchange says that white-oak
tirkins soaked for two days in sour
milk, when washed out and soaked one
day in strong brine, and then rubbed
thoroughly with salt make the best yes
sels for packing butter.
The secretary of the Royal Agricul-
tural society, of England, advises TO
stop the churn when the butter is the
size of a pin-head, draw off the butter
milk and water, and repeat this water
bath until no buttermilk remains. In
this he differs from many dairymen,
who churn until the butter reaches the
size OF wheat grains.
Butter must be packed while perfectly
fresh. Immediately after the final
working it should be put away in the
packages.
Mr.. X. A. Willard expresses the be-
lief that ropy "miik is due to weeds,
bad water and bad treatment to cows,
and Professor Englehart Cnce said he
knew it was weed. Dr. Lehman has
known it TO stop when cows were
changed FROM good to bad water, and
as for weeds the disease appears at all
times.
A Canada correspondent recommends
when butter will not come" placing a
small piece of fresh butter in the churn,
which will cause the globules gather.
If that fails, the best way is TO place
the cream in vessel and put that YES
sci in another containing hot water on
the top of a stove. Bring the cream to
temperature of about eighty degrees
then churn.
