THE general impression that
the entire court of appeals will
have to be elected at the COM
ing election is erroneous. Judge
Hurt was elected in 1880, and
consequently his term does not
expire until 1886; the statute
provides that judges of the court
Of appeals shall be elected every
six years, all vacancies to be
filled by the governor until the
next general election.
The National Cotton Ex-
change of New Orleans has no.

reason given is that the reports
are unreliable and advanced To-

the real condition of the crop,
thus enabling spectators to in
f1uence the markets.

Do Elephants Reason?

In 1874 Wornbwell menagerle visited
Tenbury, in Gloucestershire, and on that
occasion the female elephant, Lizzie by
name, drank large quantity of cold water
when heated after long walk, the animal
as consequence, being attacked with
severe internal spasms. A local chemist,
a Mr.. Turley, being called in as medical
adviser, succeeded in relieving the ele-
plants pain, the treatment including the
application of very large blister to the
size. The menagerie in due course went
Its way, but in May, 1879, it again visited
Tenbury, and as MIR. Turley stood at his
shop door watching the geological process
sion pass, the elephant stepped out of the
ranks, crossed from one side of the street
to the other, and having advanced to MIR.
Iurley, placed her trunk around his hand,
and held it firmly, at the same time MAX
ing, as Mr.. Turley informs me, peculiar,
grunting noise, as If by way of welcome.
Thus 1t was clear, that after an interval OF
five years Lizzie had recognized an old
friend in MIR. Turley, and that, moreover,
she remembered him with sense of graft
tude for his successful endeavors to relieve
the pain from which she had suffered. AT
night Mr.. Turley visited the mensgerie,
when the elephant again made every dem
onstratlon of joy and embraced him with
her trunk. She drew Mr.. Turley's atten-
ton particularly to the side whereon the
blister had been applied, thus showing
that all the circumstances of five years
previous were fresh in her memory. OBJ
serving that in 1881 the menagerie had
again visited Tenbury, / wrote TO Mr..
Turiey irquiring if Llzzie had again rec
ognized her old friend. That gentleman
replied, h,s letter bearing date May, 1881,
that she had again recognized him, begin
ming to trumpet whenever she beheld MIR.
Turley among the spectators in the menag-
erie. On his speaking to his patient, she
placed her trunk round his legs and lifted
MN from the grouRd, but IN the gentlest
manner possible. On Mr.. Turley's pro-
ceeding to examine one of her hind legs
which had been under treatment, the ele-
phant kept holding one of her fore legs
towards HIM IN such fashion as to draw
his attention TO the limb. AS Mr.. Tarley,
however, had had no concern with the
foreleg, he was puzzled to account for the
animals movement; but the keeper ex-
planned that the fore leg in question had
been treated by veterinary surgeon for
an injury, and that the latter had used his
lancet to afford relief. The elephant was
irritated by the operation, and expressed
her resentment on again seeing the veterI-
nary practitioner by striking at him with
her trunk. The act of calling Mr.. Turley' g
attention to the fore leg was simply an
expression of admiration for the gentler
treatment TO which he had subjected his
patient the quieter medical treatment
contrasting apparently with the rougher
surgical measure to which the foreleg had
been subjected. 1t is thus clear not mere
ly that the eItrhantine nature is endowed
with an active memory, but that lively
sense of gratitude for past kindness is also
represented in the list of mental attributes
of this giant race.

Cattle Kings of Montana.

Forty-eight years ago John Saunders,
one the wealthIest cattle kings of Montana,
who was then poor youth, with nothing
to recommend him but spotless reputa
tion and brave heart, fell in love with q
Kentucky belle, whose father was q rich
man; but the parents of the young woman
refused his consent 10 the marriage, and
was inexorable. Young Saunders was to
honorable to prees his suit In family
where his presence was unwelcome. de
sought an interview with the girl's par
ents, who, for the twenty-Thlrd and last
time, told him to abandon all hope of
marriage as tar as their daughter was con-
cerned, as the difference in their social
positions was an insurmountable barrier.
''How much are you worth 2" asked the
young lover. transfer my property into
81, 600, 900, cash, was the naughty re-
ply. VERY WE'LL" answered young
S .unders. Tomorrow morning leave
Tor the west to carve out q fortune, and
when can size up your 81 900, 600 will
return and claim my bride, for l know
she will be true" The young man kept
his promise after long and soTowful IN
.tervlew with his inamorata, and with a
small outfit struck out bravely for the
western territories. Since that time forty
eight years have elapsed, during which,
with varying success, he has dipped into
numerous enterprises, from the British
line to Sonora. Hence he came to Mon
tana in early days and embarked In the
cattle business with firm of Helena with
such success that the firm now owns nearly
20, 900 head on the Teton. About month ago
Saunders figured up his assets. concluded
he was worth million, and left for Ken
lucky He found the girl of his young
days waiting for him, confident and hope
full of hs final arrival. The two were
married with as little ceremony as possible
They have arrived in Butte, and after a
short visit will proceed TO their home in
Teton Valley.

SOME said he was killed and others
asserted that he was only dangersously
hurt, but when the reporter pushed
through the crowd he dicovered that the
victim had simply lost thumb by the
fall of the plank he was assisting to
raise.
It was his left thumb, and he was a
strawberry pedler and had measured
that thumb over 10000 times.
"Poor man l see how it is !" sighed
the reporter. "This is terrible loss to
you just at the opening of the berry
season.

Outdoor Festivities.

Lawn parties have become charming
feature with the residents OF suburban To-
calities and New York particularly. At
these parties small tables are set on the
shaded piazzas and also under the trees
and are further protected by the new
"lawn" umbrellas, which can be set In
the ground, are of large size and are shaped
like the japanese parasols. Low dishes
or glass troughs or small china boats filed
with flowers are used for decorations,
while about The grounds q very natural
looking dog or other animal, meekly
couchant or ready to spring upon an intru-
der, appear among the rhododendrons, the
feather trees, the flower beds, the shaded
walks by the river and the rlch shrubbery.
Lawn tennis, croquet, and other games
furnish amusement and there is usually q
Lemonade" tent or awning, where claret
cup and lemenade can be procured by
thirsty individuals, who are always in a
majority.
The gentlemen affect very light but
conventional costumes ON these occasions
white flannel with blue silk tie, or very
delicate tweed with crimson silk tie or (if
it is a gentleman of more quiet taste) ficelle
silk tie and ficelle silk lining to the tweed
coat. The majority of the young ladies
sre IN white-white null, lace trimmed,
or white linen grenadlne (often called
cheese cloth), trimmed with Florentine
lace. TheIe is, of course, variety in the
adornments, but the more refined girls
choose that their costumes shall be all
ivory white or they will drape soft Roman
sash, pale pink end blue about their skirts
which are very little draped.
But there are other more striking toilets
one occasionally for example of ruby surah
with large hat and parasol, all trimmed
with VIII e lace, anu dress, hat and para
sol adorned with bunch of large, natural
field daisies with yellow hearts. The
chintZ sateeps are also in high favor on
these occasions and are usually made with
hip panier bodice very much punched up,
short killed skirt and much pleated lace
trimming. Long, pale pink, blue or flesh
colored mitts, Chintz parasol and straw

HORSE BREEDIRG PROFITABLE The ac-
tive demand for good horses which pre-
walls IN all parts of the country is attract
ing attention to the breeding of horses.
The breeding of horses for sale Is likely to
prove one of the most profitable branches
of farm industry. By securing good brood
mares to start with and breeding with stall
lions such as will mate well with the mares
and tend to secure the desired qualities in
the offspring, the business may be placed
on such a sound basIs that success may
reasonably be expected. One difficulty
which meets the breeder at the outset Is
that of obtaining suitable stock with which
TO start. The demand for good horses the
past few years has been such that the
horses of medium and large size have been
pretty cleanly picked up, leaving mostly
horses of small size or undesirable ones.
Horses weighing only nine hundred pounds
have not been in very active demand in
the market, and consequently there are
many of that slze scattered over the coun-
try which are Of excellent quality. these
may readily be obtained for breeding pur-
poses, and by mating with stations Of
large size, colts may be obtained which
will attain q size suitable for the market.

and Scotland, with occasional modifica-
tions, is as follows: The first year, clover
and mixed grass seed, the second year,
wheat; the third year, turnips or rutaba-
gas; the fourth year, barley, and then the
same course again. An innovation on this
is to add another grain crop, oats, to the
shift, making FIVE years cours> and so
efficient has this course been that it b as
been calculated that the grain crops have
increased one fourth.
