Moving an Elephant.

On Thanksgiving day the managers
of the Playground menagerie transferred
an elephant from his old shed to the
commodious mansion that was recently
built for its accommodation at cost of
$4,000. 1t requires both tact and eS-
perience to move an elephant with any
degree of satisfaction, and those not ac-
quainted with the peculiarities of the
animal would make bungling job of
it were they to undertake the task. An
elephant has one popularity which all old
trainers understand perfectly, and that
is he will invariably attempt to leave a
shed, stable, tent or house from the same
opening or door through which he en-
opening than that through which they
have entered, although given an oppor-
tunity to obtain egress through other
passages, elephants have been known in
many instances to break their cages,
and tear down doors, and even their own
sheds. The Fair Association managers
removed the bars at the rear of their ele-
plants house led him into the place
through the opening thus created rather
than take him through the front door.
After doing this they replaced the bars
and watched the animal to see what
course he would pursue under the ag-
gravating circum stances. He surveyed
the situation, and then wrapped his Trunk
about each bar alternately and made q
desperate attempt to remove them. After
satisfying himself that this plan was net
likely to succeed, he knelt down and
placed his head under the bottom bar of
the house, which was located about three
feet from the ground, and endeavored to
break it in twain. He failed in this at
tempt also, and finally gave up and be-
came resigned to his fate. The mana
gers then left him to entertain himself
with his own reflections, but unanimously
agreed, after they had reached a point
beyond the hearing of the sagacious
beast, that safety demanded that two
more bars should be placed between the
bottom bar and the ground. Albany

Female Physicians in New York.

There are ten properly matriculated
lady physicians here, who make, on an
average, an income of $4,000 year.
One of the best, however, is DR.. jacob,
who is in professional as well as matri-
monial partnership with her husband,
and has home that almost deserves to
be called a mansion in the richness of its
furnishing and appointments. She is a
Putnam, and direct descendant of the
stanch old Israel, of revolutionary fame.
Mrs. jacob is not what is called a
''woman's rights woman, but she thinks
many of their cherished doctrines would
come to pass if they would first bend
their energies on point to which they
give comparatively little attention, that
of gaining the same educational advan-
tages for women as are provided for
men.
OF course there are countless other
women physicians in New York, but |
have limited myself to those of the regu-
lar school, and those whose education, ex-
perience and talents have been recog-
nized by the most eminent physicians Of
the opposite sex.
One wonders why women have not
evinced more decided liking for the
profession of dentistry, which offers fewer
obstacles in the way of preparation and
popular prejudice than that of medicine.
The leading dentist of Russia is an
American woman, living in st. Peters
burg, and she has the honor of perform
ing on the mouths of the royal family.
There are so few women doctors in
this country that it is difficult to find out
anything about them. Those in this city
are mostly married women who help
their husbands, and there is one fair
quack who advertises diamond fill
ings. y Chicago Iater-ocean.

ThOusand.DOllar ShaWls.

Few of the real Indian shawls are
called for. One of the larger houses
sells not more than dozen such shawls
in year, and these are the cheaper
ones; that is, the shawls of which the
prices are under 81 900. One good rea-
son is that the wearer of real Indian
shawl does not get the credit of it. So
few are worn, and so many initiate so
well, the real Indian is not recognized.
1t is said that in the manufacture of In
dian shawls not the slightest improve
ment has been made since Napoleon in
troduced them into Europe by sending
one to Josephine. The wool of the shawl
is obtained from the inner hair of the
Thibet goat. 1t is cleansed in rice water
to add strength, and spun by women.
Each loom produces about five shawls in
year. Victoria wrings tribute out of
these poverty-stricken weavers in GER
tain number of shawls yearly.
1t is said that native Indian shawls
havs been imported to repair shawls and
change centers to suit the wearers. The
shawls are made in pieces and put to-
gether so deity that the seams cannot
be found, except by an expert In the
aggregate a great many Indian shawls
are imported, but are sold chiefly in the
large cities, where they are kept in stock,
and the purchaser in smaller city will
go there to buy them, in order to select
from number. Generally the demand
has been active this year and great
many have been sold. -Providence Jour

Chicago has fifteen Synagogues,
with an average attendance of over 1900
members each.
st. Louis is to have new theoloy-
ical seminary, which is to be organized
by the German Evangelical Church. The
building will cost $4,000.
The Greek Testament in the ancient
tongue is now, by order of the Greek
which have $4,000 pupils.
Edward Smith, a manufacturer of
Enfield, Mass, has given money to found
college for colored people in Little
Rock, Ark. 1t is to be called Edward
Smith College.
The remark by venerable member
OF the Trenton, N. j., School Trustee
Board, that married ladies as rule were
the best teachers, was the means of pre-
venting the adoption of motion reqllir-

Three Roman missionaries of GU
rondi have been massacred in their houses
near Tanganyika. Three others escaped.
The last letters of the missionaries tell
of the perils which they run on the part
OF the blacks from the calumnies of the
Arab merchants in regard to those who
endeavor to abolish the treaty.
The liberality of the Union Baptist
Church in Baltimore is remarkable,
especially on account of the fact that the
church is composed of colored people,
most of whom are in humble circum-
stances. The contributions for year
are $4,000, and five of the young men of
the church are preparing for the ministry.
Miss H. Carter, teacher among the
Chinese in Boston, writes: 1t is not I'M

The Rev. DR.. Speer, who many
years ago was missionary in China, is
laboring among the Chinese in Chicago.
Possessing the happy faculty of being
able to preach to these people in their
own language, he holds meeting with
them every Sunday in Farwell Hall.
He has secured their respect and conf
fdence, and seems to be doing them much
good.

AUNT RUTH FINDS THE COAL MAN.

You knew, l s'pose, that Jacks folks
had moved to Boston? Yes; and soon's
they got kinder settled down, Minty
wrote me letter urgin' me to come
down right off, and stay with 'em a good
long spell.
They'd be glad ter have me make it
my home with 'em, you know, but some
how, | can't seem ter make up my mind
to settle down in any one stiddy place
l s'pose that's alwers the way with wild
ders and old maids-generally kinder
Uneasy, amt they?
But It any rate, looked on that invite
of Minty's as regular providence; and
fairly jumped out O. my chair when 1
read it; and says at once, ''rl go-it's
just the thingr'
You remember l told We about my
scrape with that coal man, last Christmas,
when | was to Boston-how l made him
take me to the depot, and then hadn't a
cent O money to pay him, arter prom
isin' to reward him liberal, too!
l didn't mean no harm more n baby;
but know he thought l was a swindlin',
lynn female woman, goin' round loose,
a gittin' my Twin by workin' onto folks
feelings, and stealin' rides outer coal
men. He hadn't no means O KNOWN
the truth O. the matter, We see, and it
did look bad-it looked against me,
that's fact.
1t would ben easy enough ter sot the
matter right if I'd only remembered the
feller's address he gin me the last min
ute when | took the cars; but L d gin up
tryin' to do that long ago-'twant no
kind O. use. :.
So that's how twas when got Minty's
letter. I'd turned the matter over in
my mind a good deal, and I'd come to the
decision that sometime; and poorly soon,
too, that coal man and me would have a
reckonin' together.
And now, here was good chance to
go and hunt him up. So / got myself
ready's quick's could, and went along.
Minty met me to the depot, and the
fust words she said was:
"Aunt Ruth! what under the canopy
is the matter with we? You look as if
you'd had fit of sickness! Have we
ben sickp''
mo, Minty, I hain't'' says I, "but
there's other troubles in this world as
wearin' as sickness"
'For PHYS sake,' says she; ''what
do you meanP' And then / told her.
''It's that coal man that's wearin' me
away to shadder, and nothin' else,"
says /. ''It's quiet up home, we know,
and likely enough my minds dwelt on
the subject more'n what's reasonable
or material. 'Tany rate, all I've done
lately, is jest ter think, think-night and
day-about how cheated that poor fell
Ter. And now I've come down to Bos-
ton, and I'm goin' to find him and hev
a settlement with him, if it costs fifty
dollGrsn' says, l; g and you've got ter
promise to help me, too, or else I'll go
IN gitsomebody that will" says l.
Minty laughed and Rugged me over
again. xxx. 4a..,.
"Cheer up, says she, g Wen have
that old fashioned conscience o. yourn
outer misery in no time The coal man
shall be found if we have ter turn Boston
inside out and hind side afore to do it, "
says she,
Minty's better for me than bottle O.
medicine, any day, and she chippered
me right up; so't felt more like myself

PASTOR DANKWARDT.
PoMERANIA, 1907.


Twas in the Northern German land
Fast by the Baltic Sea,
Whenthe French Emperor sent his troop
To bend the peoples knee, i4-
And dwell within their houses,
roasting ON wine and corn,
I'LL German hearts should learn to feel
The might of foreign scorn.
They came to Bodenstede,
A hamlet green and still,
With fountain in the market-place,
where maids their pitchers fill.
They over ran the village street,
They over ran the inn,
They stole the peasants ripening crops,
And strove the maids to win;
And up and down throughout the night
They sang their ribald song,
While hidden evils darted forth
To join the lawless throng.
How fair was Bodenstede!
But deeds the Frenchmen wrought
Among her pleasant summer fields
No peaceful harvest brought.
The people seized the soldiers,
And bore them to the strand,
And shipped them to a barren shore
Within a hostile land,
And then returned rejoicing;
But he, the nations fate,
Quickly dispatched a mightier corps
To hold the conquered state.
Alas for Bodenstede!
How sad the sun uprose
That day the foreign flags returned
Before his golden close!
Rode forth Commander Mortier:
Seize all the men," he cried,
Who rule in Bodenstede,
And place them side by side;
sand at the signal given,
Shoot each man where he stands.
They that remain shall live to see
Their blazing homes and lands"
Then forward stepped the pastor;
His eyes were bright as flame;
"lf any man is shot, shoot mel
Mine is the guilt and shame,
81 babe the people to revolt,
And drag the men away;
sent them to the Swedish shore;
Twas urged on the fray.
Hear me, o sire, how innocent
These people surely are;
lpray thee burn my guilty roof,
But all these others spare"
The stern Commander Mortier
Heard what the pastor said,
One moment stood irresolute,
Then turned his horses head;
And putting spurs to flank, they rode
Out from the wondering town;
And as they passed, the word was given,
'These fisher-huts burn DOWN."
A few poor sheds where no man dweltl
No blood that day was spilled.
And thus Commander Mortier
The Emperor's law fulfilled.
Those battle-felds are overgrown,
Dim is their glory now;
But Virtue ever wakeful shines;
The stars are on her brow.
The pastor in his flowing gown,
Before the armed host,
Joyfully giving life and home
II he may save the lost:
Deep in the German father-land
This rooted memory grows,
And safe within the children's heart
The living picture glows.
