Wicked Elephants.

Look out, ole man, he's gwine to
paw yerr' The male elephant Tip was
being put through his daily instruction
yesterday at FOrepaUgh's winter quar-
tiers, L6high avenue and Edgemont
street, when Eph. Thompson, the col
Ored keeper, cried out to George Smith,
q white man, who was assisting in the
tedious task of teaching the huge ami
NAL to waltz. A binding snOw-stOrm
without, and cold, dreary atmosphere
within had evidently affected Tips tenn
per, which is none of the kindest, even
under the most favorable circumstances.
The warning came too late. With pc
culiar cry of rage, the elephant lifted
his trunk and numbered forward toward
the assistant, who sought to flee, but be-
fore he could move a dozen steps Tip
had pressed him against q wooden post,
and by sheer weight fractured his
shoulder blade. In an instant the col
ored Keeper had seized an iron goad and
began prodding the enraged animal in
the tenderest part of the flank, which
gave Smith an opportunity to crawl
away on his hands and knees out of
reach of the enormous foot lifted ready
to crush him. rrr-i'E' sEhf#
g 1t was ies' nip and tuck with him.

last night, while relating the incident to
a Press reporter, 'If them air five toes

There are twenty-one elephants
here" continued Eph, "eleven females
and ten males; out of the whole lot
there may be two, or, perhaps, three,
with good dispositions; the rest can t be
trusted for a single instant This one,
Tip, which nearly caused the death of
young Smith, will allow no one to APP
proach' him but Adam Forepaugh, Jr.,
and myself; he is always Watching for a
chance to get smack at somebody with
that trunk of his, and God help them if
they ever fall near his feet. Talk about
training an elephant with kind words ;
it s all bosh; the kindest treatment / be-
lieve in is a good sharp-pOinted goad and
steel-lashed whip. Elephants are too
cute to stand petting. Rocks is another
bad one; he has as much sense as man
and can sling that trunk around like a
prize-fghter does his fists; Romeo and
Mongo, females-[ dunno how. they
come to call her Romeo-are another
bad pair, though they've been in the
show business for years. BassO and
Jennie are about the only elephants in
the herd that don't show any temper,
but there's no knowing when they'll get
mad and raise old Harry. I've seen Ro-
meo refuse to bulge an inch until the
blood streamed down her side, and then
didn' she want to roll on somebody bad ?
Well, whenever you see the day that ele-
plants can be brought up to do tricks
without the whip and the goad, then they
will be born without either trunks OF
tails. Philadelphia Press. F.

The Cnrfem ReII.

In Boston, and many other New En-
gland cities. one of the church bells is
always rung at nine o. clock in the even
ing 1t is a city regulation, and the
custom has prevailed from early Puritan
times 1t was brought over from the
old country, and still remains in force
in many parts of England.
1t is curious that custom established
by the Norman Conquest. and a memo
rial, tn erefore, of Saxon defeat and sub
lection, should be maintained both in
Old and New England. William the
Conqueror enacted law, that soon aft
er sunset, at the ringing of a bell, all
lights should be eXtinguished, the fires
put out and the people retire to rest.
The law was passed to prevent even
ing meetings among the Saxons, in
which conspiracies might be formed
against the crown. William had previ-
ouslv passed a similar law in Norman
DIV, at time when conspiracies were
frequent. 81 B..
The bell was called the curfew bell,
from two French words, couUre, to COW
err and fen, fire. The nine O'Clock
bell was probably established by the
Puritans, as a signal for parties and
meetings to break up, and for people to
retire to rest = YOUTH Companion.

fire just as the bubbles denoting the
boiling point begin to rise. Allow
the strip to cool q little, stirring

dropping is performed by fitting the
vessel slightly, SO that the contents viii

little red coloring may be added just
previous to dropping, or a portion may
