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 mis-
fortune 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 stumps subsequently grew into the
cheeks, causing it circulating pain, and
necesstating an immediate remedy. The
intrepid superintendent undertook to per-
form the delicate operation and relieve the
poor beast. Having prepared a gigantic
hook.shaped lancet, he bandaged the crea-
lures eyes and proceeded to his task. 1t
was an anxious moment, for there was ab-
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 creature weighing many
tons and suffering from facial abcesses and
neuralgia argues, to say the 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 ineis-
ion without oan.-[Saturday Review.

theater often will notice that an actor, after
saying something very emphatic or astonish-

one corner of the stage. This significant
movement is called taking stage, and
forms no little part of the routine of stage
business. The unhappy variety actor, who

TESTING DRAIN PIPEs.-A writer in the
Ironmonger, from long practical experience
in testing drain pipes, confidently recon-
mends for that purpose what he terms
smoke test, and which gives evidence
as to leaks both to the sight and smell.
The materials that he employs are soiled
cotton waste and sulphur, the smoke from
which, after ignited, is blown into the
drain or pipes. Ii lealzages exist in the
latter inside of the house, the smoke and
smell both issue forth and show that some
thing is wrong, and, generally tell also just
where the fault or faults are. Sulphur, as
is well known, is one of the best disin-
feetants, and dose of the fumes from this
to the drains after disease has been in the
house, would effect much good.

Congress- Yesterday.

In the United States Senate, yes
terday, Mr.. LegaA, from the Military
Committee, reported, with two
amendments, the bill to place Cen
eral Grant on the retired list. He
asked its immediate consideration.
Mr.. Randolph, Chairman of the
Committee, said there was not a full
meeting of the committee when the
bill was acted upon yesterday morn
ing, and he asked that the bill and
amendments be lald over and printed.
Mr.. Herman also objected to the i'm
mediate consideration of the bill, ,
and it went over, Mr.. Logan saying
he would call it up at the next meet
ing of the Senate. Mr.. Kellogg sub
mitted an amendment which he in
tended to offer to the Funding bill.
The memorial of Davis Hatch, in
relation to the San Domingo matter,
tabled at the last session, was re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations. The Indian Appropria-
ton bill was passed with amend.
ments. After an executive session
the Senate adjourned until Monday.

the retirement of General E. o. T..
