The Elephants Surgeon.

The elephant house has furnished Mr..
Bartlett with several patients on which to
exercise his surgical skill. One of the In
dian elephants some time since had the
misfortune to wrench off a portion of his
trunk, which had got caught in moose of
rope, and the largest African specimen,
whose huge proportions are well known to
the frequenters of the gardens, met with
an accident by which his tusks were broken
off; the stamps subsequently grew into the
cheeks, causing it excrutiating pain, and
necessitating an immediate remedy. The
intrepid superintendent undertook to per-
form the delicate operation and relieve the
poor beast. Having prepared gigantic
hook-shaped lancet, he bandaged the crea-
lures eyes and proceeded to his task. 1t
was an anxious moment, for there was alb
solutely nothing to prevent the animal kill
ing his medical attendants upon the spot,
and to rely upon the common sense and
good nature of a creature weighing many
tons and suffering from facial abcesses and
neuralgia argues, to say tho least of it, the
possession of considerable nerve. But Mr..
Bartlett did not hesitate, and climbing up
within reach of his patient he lanced the
swollen cheeks. His courage was reward
ed, for the beast at once perceived that the
proceedings were for his good, and sub
mitted quietly. The next morning, when
they came to operate upon the other side,
the elephant turned his cheek without be-
ing hidden, and endured the second iucis-
ion without groan.-Sdturday Reuie,o.
