AZ Elephants Thinking Apparatus.

The sagacious elephant has awell for
tilted thinking apparatus. Mr.. Horna-;
day, an elephant hunter, said in a lee
ture at Rochester: Fan elephant to be
killed by the first ball must be shot
through the brain. But it is no easy
matter to reach this in the elephant, as
it is surrounded by an enormously large
skull, and is very small in proportion to
the rest of the body. The skull is SO
large in order to give surface for the
attachments of the muscles OF the
trunk, of which there are about 4O. 900.
Fhe skull is moreover composed of two
walls, and between these are connected
long cells. The brain being thus pro-
tected. is extremely difficult to reach,
and elephants are often fired into as
often as fifty or sixty times before being
brought down. The range of vision in
the elephant is limited, his hearing is
not good. his powers of smelling are
poor, SO that it is an easy matter to
Stalk him. The elephant has four vul-
r.srable points: these are the temple,
the ear and eye. and the center Of the
forehead. IN r Tribune.

-Odors in milk and the susceptibility
OF milk in absorbing them have been
subjects Of general discussion at many
OF our farmers gatherings. Dairymen
are urged to be extremely careful that
there are no offensive odors in or about
the barn, or agricultural smells in con-
nection with the dairy room; yet. not
withstandlng all this, there are still
many other sources of offensive odors.
Some of these, while not especially Of
fensive of themselves, are yet particu-
larly SO when introduced into the milk
product. Occasionally a man may be
seen milking q COW, at the same time
engaged in smoking q rank smelling
pipe. The fumes Of tobacco coming
direct from the pipe might not be Of
fensive to many people, yet if perceived
in the milk or butter, might occasion
well-deserved fault-fnding.-M. 2.

children depended on him, so did MIR.
and Mrs. Glider; so did Miss Shelley,
though she did not know it. We are
all SO constituted that we depend on
some one; no one, man or woman, is
wholly independent.
From the first of her making her
home with them, Miss Shelley did not
seek privacy: Mrs. Glider. cordially in
vited her to be at home, and make the
general sitting-room hers as well. and
she did so; sitting in the window with
bit of embroidery in her lap, or an
open unread book, she literally spent
her time watching the children. Mrs.
Glider used to watch her curiously; she
was as much absorbed in what thew
said and did as if the solving of some
moral problem depended uron them:
and SO there did. The lady could not
draw her into conversation: as far az
they two were concerned, there was
unbroken silence; they seemed in a fair
way never to become acquainted.
Sometimes in sort of desperation she
went to her husband about it, but cot
always the same comment: Eyes, wife.
I know it is trying, but there has some
thing gone wrong with her; leave it to
time, and it will right itself. She looks
lonely. I'm sorry for her."
As we have said, there were six chill
dren-three girls and three boys. They
were frank, open-hearted, impetuous.
They had their quarrels continually,
but they always settled their own diff
culties, and they did 30 justly; there
was no tyranny If boy over girl, or girl
over boy; their rights were equal; the
thought Of their not being, never SEEM
ed to have suggested itself. Whenever
any OF these differences occurred, Miss
Shelley watched them with keen. jeal-
Gus attentions. She could not in any
way lind fault with these three boys;

She had been embroidering very

on the library table; one of the older
children had been using the ink, and
had left it on the table also, with the

younger children, girl of six years,
and a boy of four, were having game
of tag there. She was in her room, and
hearing them, came down to watch
them, but before she reached the room,
their romp was over, and there was
perfect silence. At the door
she discovered the cause; the
ink was upset all over her beau
tiful cushion. She went in quite as if
she had not noticed it, and stood in one
of the windows to watch the passers in
the street below. A few minutes
silence interviewed, then they came be-

A DEADLY RING.

Here is true elephant story for you from
an American missionary, who once lived
among the Dutch Beers of Natal, for seven
years. He saw the ivory, and believes the
story.
One afternoon, about four o'clock, three
Dutchmen were ont hunting and came upon
large herd of elephants. They fred at the
leader, and instantly the entire heard fed
The leader rushed on and on, thinking he
was on the right track to escape but the
the elephants were in valley and only ran
round and round it, in circle perhaps
three-hunded yards in diameter and were
shot down from four o'clock in the afternoon
until eight in the evening, when darkness
prevented the Dutchmen from tskiug aim
any longer. But the three men rose at
break Of day, and found the poor elephants
still going round and round 1t was several
hours before a new leader, breaking out of
the beaten track, led off the remainder of
of the herd in safety.
The Dutchmen whose names where Botha,
and Potgeiter, two being brothers, counted
the slain. Ninety elephants lay dead in
the valley; and as their valuable tusks of
ivory were divided equally among the three
Dutchmen, you can believe that each man =
share was considerable.

A Modern Jacol,

The Philadelphia Telegraph's Paris letter says: T was recently told by young French gentleman son of prefect of La Rochelle one of the strangest romances of real life that ever came to my knowledge. Four years ago peasant boy who lived on farm near the town of Clermont-F Ferrand saw and fell in love with the beautiful daughter of a gentleman of good fortune and position, he being at that time r years of age and the young lady just 16. This new sClaude Mel notte" was so madly in love that he went straight to the house of the young girls pa ents and demanded her hand in marriage. The father treated the preposterous proposi- ton with good-natured scorn. "Come back when you have an income of $4O,O 900 (20O, 900 francs, y was his answer, land then we will see about it.'' The infatuated youth took him at his word, and forthwith set to work. Now one of the peculiarities of the town of Clermont- Ferrand is a scarcity of water There is no river near it, so it relies for it's water supply on springs and wells.
 Under these circumstances spring is va1u- able piece of property, and commands 8 rela- lively high price. So the young peasant low CT set out for an adjacent mountain, there to search for hidden springs. My informant said he had honeycombed the whole side of the mountain with his works, constructing at one point g tunnel over two miles in length.
 All this was executed with his own hands.
 He works from dawn to dark, lives upon po-
