Jumbo took it into his capricious
head one night recently that he
would Ikea little more liberty, and so
he braced himself, and placing his
enormous head against the side of
the building, walked through it, ap-
parently as easily as if it were paper.
Previous to his return with the, trav-
elling show the corner designed for
him in the elephant quarters was
overlaid with plank, crossed and re-
crossed, spiked and bolted, until
wall nearly a foot thick had been
formed, and it was thought that
nothing on this earth could tear it
down. But he pried off the boards
with his tusks and made quite hole
in that way. Then he went through
what was left with the greatest ease
He wasn't bit ugly about it; it was
only one of his playful freaks. Aft
er he had reached the open air he
was quiet and gentle as lamb, and
walked all round the grounds uncon-
cernedly, in charge of Mr.Scott, his
English trainer. His prodigious
strength can hardly be realized. He
will snap off beam six inches
square with great ease, and perform
other pleasant tricks of like nature

HOW TO JUDGE A PERSON BY
THE WALK.

Carelesss persons are forever stub
bing their toes.
Unstable persons walk fast and
slow by turns.
Fun-loving persons have kind of
zig" movement.
One-idea persons, and always very
selfish ones, "toe in.'
Cross persons are very apt to hit
their knees together.
Good-natured persons snap their
fingers and thumbs every few steps.
Modest persons generally step very
swiftly for fear of being observed.
Calculating people generally walk
with their hands in their pockets and
their heads slightly inclined.
Lazy persons scrape loosely with
their hands, and are first on one side
of the walk and then on the other.
Very strong-minded persons place
tnelr toes directly In front of them
and have kind of stamp move
ment.
Wide-awake persons 'stoe out"
and have a long swing of their arms,
while their hands move about mis-
cellaneously.
Timid persons often step off the
sidewalk on meeting another, and
always go around the stone instead
of stepping over it.
Observing persons move slowly;
their heads move alternatively from
side to side, while they occasionally
stop and turn around.
Careful persons lift their feet high
and place them down slowly, and
pick up some little obstruction and
place it quietly by the side OF the
walk.

Voices offoeman and lover,
The sweet and bitter, have passed:
Life, like a tempest of ocean.
Hath outblown it's ultimate blast.
There's but faint sobbing seaward.
While the calm of the tide deepens leeward,
And behold like the welcoming quiver
OF heart pulses throbbed through the river,
Those lights in the Harbor at last
The heavenly Harbor at last!
feel it is over, over
The winds and the waters surcease;
How few were the days of Rover
That smiled in the beauty of peacei
And distant and dim was the omen
That limited redress or release.
From the ravage of Life, and its riot,
What marvel yearn for the quiet
Which bides in this Harbor at last?-
For the lights, with their welcoming quiver,
That throb through the sanctihed river
Which girdles the Harbor at last
The heavenly Harbor at last?
know it is over, over
know it is over at last:
Down sail; the sheathed anchor uncover
For the stress of the voyage has passed:
Life, like a tempest of ocean,
Hath outblown its ultimate blast.
There's but faint sobbing seaward,
While the calm of the tide deepens leeward.

sPa," said young Mulkittle, ''was
it Job that had warts on him?''
"Didn't I tell you," exclaimed his

"Why don't you instruct the child ?"
asked Mrs. Mulkittle.

taught anything. He doesn't really
want to know. He merely wants to
talk"
After remaining silent for a few
moments, Mr.. Mulkittle suddenly re-
membered he had not answered the
child's, question in regard to Job, and
not wishing to leave the child under
the impression that the biblical ex-
ample of patience was afflicted with
warts, he exclaimed, ''No."
"No, what?" asked the boy in sur
prise.

warts"
'What was the matter with him."
"He had boils.'
"Did God make the boils come on
him?"

ONLY A PIN.

1t only pin
As it lay on the floor,
Shining and bright
As II glistened in the noon-day light.
Only boy
Yet he saw that pin,
And in its possession became SO intent
That soon both boy and pin alike were bent.
Only chair!
Yet he placed the pin there,
And not one in thousand could have discerned
That the point of pin was heavenward turned.
Only man!
Yet he sat on that chair.
Then he bounced in the air like cork from bottle
And most unearthly sound came out of his throttle
Only yell
But it was an honest one;

WHAT GLOVES ARE MADE Or
The materials employed in the manu-
facture of gloves are very numerous,
and are by no means always what
they seem. Kid gloves can be man
ufactured of skin which no kid
would own, and calfskin, dogskin
and lambskin all play an important
part in this industry. Unquestiona-
bly, kid is the only superfine material
used, and great interest attaches to
the breeding of the animals whose
skins are devoted to this purpose.
They are never allowed to be fed or
to eat grass, and as soon as they
cease to suckle are killed, that no
gross element may enter into and
mar the texture of skin. The dressed
skin is then as fine throughout as
that with which the most costly kid
gloves have familiarized us. Experts
in leather can at once detect the real
"baby" kid as we may call it, from
that which has belonged to grass
feeding animal. All feathers used in
making gloves are imported, either
in a dressed or undressed condition
generally the former. Here they are
dyed, and a very large domestic trade
is now growing up, which bids fair in
time to interfere seriously with the
importation even of French gloves.
But the finest kinds of domestic make
are little, if any, cheaper than those
which find their way from Paris for,
the material being imported and labor
expensive, So and S. pair represent
the prices asked and obtained.
