were bent under their heavy bodies,
and they were enabled to lift them
selves up with what seemed to them no
trouble at all.
When all this was made known to the
men of the village, they Immediately
urged upon the head elephant that he
and his companions should enter into
their service. An elephant was there
upon ordered by his chief to lie down
and be loaded, and when the men had
tied an immense number of packages
upon his back, he arose with apparent
ease and shambled away.
There being now no possible objection
to an elephant becoming a beast OF bur-
den, these great animals began to enter
into the service of man. But many OF
them did not fancy labor, no matter
how able they might be to perform 1t;
and these separated from the main herd
and scattered themselves over various
parts of Asia and Africa, where their
descendants are still found.
rs As has been said before, it is quite
likely that this story may not be true;
but still the facts remain that the eie-
plant hind legs bend forward just ike
his fore legs, and that he shambles
along very much as if he were all
shoulders. John Leeoes. IN st. Nicholas

Water Finders.

One of those individuals who possess
what used to be called an impossible
power of detecting water beneath the
surface by the turning of forked witch
hazel or apple-tree twig in his hands
when passing over the locality where
water was desired has made his appear
ance on Cape Cod. A Provincetown
man says that the sswater finder" is
quite old and nearly blind. "He locates
water for well-diggers, or pretends to,
simply by moving about over the surface
with his eyes totally blinded. He pre-
tends to give also about the number of
feet below the surface at which the wa
ter will be found. 1t is said that the
old water finder is a farmer and lime.
burner; also, that he has been employed
at Beverly and Newport at So per day
this season, and succeeded in locating
water; also, that he succeeded in de-
tecting the presence of metals" Inves-
tigation shows that person somewhat
answering this description has been
quite successful in locating water veins
this season along the line of the Eastern
Railroad, and that there are others in
New England who have fully shown
themselves possessed of the same ''pcw-
er of divination." In upper New Hamp-
shire wells are often located by such
means.-Bost0n Herald. al

Or the mice, or the cats; asaA
For of me don't think the y're suspicious

Such mean little cup!
And, for want of spoon, must drink it;
But tbs easy to pour
Hark, who's that at the dOor|
And the custard went down ere yOud think it;
With a shrek he sprang up;
To the floor crashed the cup;
Then he howled, tumbled, spluttered and
clustered
Till the terrible din Ef--
Brought the whole household in
He had swallowed upful of mustard!

There is a good deal of fun in
sleigh riding, if you only know how to
enjoy yourself as Connecticut young
lady did last winter, when two young
men, one on each side of her, thrust
their hands into her muff just as she
withdrew the one they wanted TO squeeze.
They continued pressing each others
hands and looking lovingly into her
face, until she said: eff you two are
through with my muff, 1 will have to
trouble you for it, as my hands are get
ting cold.'' They gave it to her without

in an exchange on the subject, is
worth reproducing
Last week man stepped up to
us and said be would pay every
cent he owed US if he lived until
Saturday night. We presume the
man died. Another said he would
pay US in day or two as sure as
we were born. Querry-did the
man lie, or we're we never born p
Another said be would settle as sure
as shooting. We are led to the con-
clusion that shooting is uncertain.
Another said he hoped to go to the
devil if he did not pay us 10 three
days. Haven't seen him since,
suppose be has gone, but we trust
be has not hoped in vain. Quite a
number said they would see US to
morrow. These have been stricken
blind or else tomorrow has not come.
One man told US six month"; ago that
he would pay US as be got some
money. The man would not lie, so
of course be has not got cent since.

10 some of the rivers of Brazil. An
accident occurred the other day on

of his resistance, was dragged under
the water in the presence of the hor~

his hinder coils to carry off at the

TEMPER ANcE.

[By 10 year old girl, of Oakland Lodge J
OF all subjects thet promote MANS
interest ON earth, this eeAms 10 be
one Of the most important. II 10
indeed more important than many of
us imagine it TO be. The influence
of temperance is so wide spread that
it is almost boundIess in its extent.
1t is felt and realized where ever
mans best interest are promoted.
The moral, religious, financial and
social world all acsno Wedge that
temperance is indispensably neces'
sary to mans happiness and wei
fare in this life. Even the intern
perate man plodding his weary way
to drunkard's grave, can but re-
spect it. In every department of
life from the humbIest to the most
exalted station, this welcome guest,
temperance helps to make man con.
tented, happy and prosperous, and
without it man cannot be thus blessed
There may be exceptions to this but
they are few. The successful man
in business is generally temperate
man, and viewed in any light we
find temperance allied with our best
interest. While temperance means
total abstinence as applies to our or
der, yet a subject so ponderous must
not be limited to such narrow
bounds. 1t enters the daily walks
of human existence, and every one
who is a contented, prosperous and
happy being must have life circum"
scribed by its influence. Yet how
few realize this. On the contrary,
we seem to think that little self
indulgence will increase our enjoy
ment. So we carelessly partake
freely of what the world terms pleas
IRE and soon we learn from sad
experience that we made mistake
All because temperance has been
thrown aside and we have becOme
the victims of our own appetite and
desires. Who has not suffered by
negIecing to make temperance the
rule Of his life 7 Only few have
escaped. Yet how 10th we are to be
temperate and to use our influence
for temperance. We are too apt to
consider temperance drudge aud
the opposite pleasure, all because
we are not fully posted as the merits
of this good cause, for certainly it is
a good one and we have need to be
posted. Let us aequaiut ourselves
more fully with temperance, and we
will like the cause better. Add it
we will be temperate in our lives, a
reward is sare to follow. All OBJ
servaton and past experience teach
US the importance of tempH'a' ce.
God has taught it in his reve-Ied
word. Place the subject only on
its merits and it will riser higher in
our esteem. Ia conclusion, allow
me to say, success to the cause.
May it live long and die not; may
it never, never be forgot, and in the
future let us try with the rules of
our order always comply, and as in
years we all advance, lmay We care
more and more for temperance.
