The Elephant MYTH.

The elephant Of our childhood no
longer exists. Like behemoth and levi
Nthan and other mythical creatures in
whom we once implicitly believed, he
has been proved TO be q Pigment of the
Oriental imagination. The authority
upon which we make this unwelcome
announcement Is no other than Mr.
Sanderscn, who has for many years
filed the post Of Superintendent Of Ele-
plants to the Government of India, and
who stands IN the same relation TO these
animals that Sir Joseph Fayrer occupies
toward tigers and venOmOus snakes. In
q lecture recently delivered TO the Unit
ed Service Institution at Sinla he
roundly calls the elephant positively
idOtc IN its attempts TO escape when
captured, and talks OF its want Of or
iginolity and its positive stupidity IN
many things" In short. "a the facial
ty OF reasoning it il fur below the dog
and many other animals. Nor will Mr..
SandersOn allow the estimates of its
great height Out of many hundreds
he has measured In Southern India and
Bengal, he has not found one reaching
ten feet ut the shoulder. Yes ono lisii-
fusion more. The elephant-llanters In

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The weekly press has gradually
grown up into powerful politi
cal, as we'll as social engine, diff
fusing information on all subjects
Of interest and rejecting great
credit on the able men who have
the control ofthe various journals.
The newspapers have, within the
past few years, greatly increased
in numbers and size, and improved
in literary character. They are
to be found in every town of i'm
portance in the States, and a poor
ly edited sheet is rarely seen. The
publishing and editing of these
papers involves considerable ex-
pense, and the fact that they are
tanned is evidence Of the H.
telligence and enterprise of their
readers. We are glad to speak a
good word for our weekly con-
temporaries for we recognize the
talent that is displayed in con-
ducting them and wish them in
creased success in the future.
We would also urge upon the
people of each community the ne
cessity Of giving their local paper
their most cordial support. The
local paper is what gives stran-
gers their knowledge of the char
acte:c. Of the people Of the coun-
try where the paper is published,
aud in proportion to the support
given will the journal be con-
Quoted. The town that is not
able or which refuses to support
it's local paper '2eks the enter
prise that will bflng prosperi-
ty to the country and deserves
to sink into decay. Put that
town that has a live, fearless and
energetic newspaper, and $here
are many of them, sends the IN
teligence all over the land, ard
the people know that such towns
are thriving and prosperous. It
is, Of course, the proper thing to
subscribe for at least one of the
large city dailies, but the first duty
Of the citizen is to support his
local journal for the sake Of patro-
nizing home industries if for 70
other, but the return be will re-
ceive will far outmeasure all that
it will cost him. The press hasever
upheld the strictest principles Of
morality, truth and justice, and
citizens may we'll be proud of the
many able exponents Of their
principles.

habit of reading builds up a love
for literature, a thirst for news, q

every citizen needs his home pa

upon this matter are not, there

greater will be the progress Of

mate publishing interests will
prosper accordingly.

WOODEN SHOES One of, the
most striking sights that take the
attention of the traveller in Japan,
is that of the wooden sandals
worn by the thirty-fve millions
Of people. These sandals have a
separate compartment for the
great toe, and make a clacking
noise on the street. Straw slip.
pers are also worn, and traveller
starting out on a journey will
strap a supply. Of them on his
back, that be may put on a new
pair when the old is worn out.
They cost but a cent and a.half a
pair. They are rights and lefts,
and leave the foot free to the air
we never see those deformities
oftbe foot in Japan which are SO
frequent in this country. They
are never worn in the house, be-
ing left outside the door; passing
down street, you see long rows Of
them at the doors old and new,
large and small. Itis surprising
to see how rapidly the Japs step
out OF them, and pick them up
again with their feet, when leav-
ing the house.

of the old country homestead, and
a tear stole slowly down her cheek
as the twilight gathered about
her, and presently she left the
door and sat on the low bench
that stood in the shadow Of the
honeysuckle that twined about
the porch.
Here she leaned her head on the
railing, and hot tears fell fast and
convulsive sobs shook her slender
frame.
This place, the home so dear to
her heart; the place her father
loved as his life, was to be sold on
the morrow, and they, the aged
parents, be berefJ of the dear old
home that had sheltered them for
twenty-five long years, and in
which so much happiness had
come to them.
They loved every tree on the
place, and every flower and shrub
held a tender place in the hearts
Of these old people.
Each brought back a memory
Of a son who had gone forever
from the hearthstone; Of a voice
for which they listened in vain
and a presence that had once filed
their homes with gladness.
'Oh it was bitter! bitter!' and
Lnez thought Of all this as she sat
alone on this June evening.
oh my father and mother!
must you leave this dear old home
now when the sorrows of time
have silvered your heads, and
when you need more than ever,
the shelter Of your home ? Oh
Wilber, why did you leave me!
Four years age since we stood
here in the doorway and sou
whispered, keep up courage, Inez,
my darling, and in only two short
years l will come to you, and we
will clear up this dreadful old
mortgage, and you will have your
home for alUays.' All, Wilber I!
that seems such a long, long time
ago! And then came the message
of the wreck at sea, and | felt
that I would never see you again.
Oh, Wi!ber! Wilber!'
Around the supper table there
was unusual quiet on this the last
day in the old home.
The father and mother spoke
but little, and Inez felt a strange
choking as she glanced Into the
dear wrinkled faces OF the old
couple.
Has any one been here this
evening, mother p she asked, pre-.
sently, I thought saw some one
as came in from my walk
Yes, dear! The gentleman hold
ing the mortgage came in awhile
ago
oh, now cruel to visit US with a
reminder OF our loss = Inez said,
turning to her father.
No, my dear, Mr.. Gates has
been very patient with me, and
came in to say that be would de-
lay the sale a short while longer,
but gentleman has come over to
n. and insists that the sale take
place at once. And it is best !; we
will sooner or later have to leave.
Brother has kindly offered US
home, and you have the offer of a
situation as governess in the tam.
