The Siamese Nation was recently
plunged into mourning by the death of
His Sublime Grandeur the Court and
Body Elephant of the King" Says the
Indian Herald: 1--WE regret to learn
that the animal departed this life in q
highly sensational manner, fraught with
irreparable disaster to the staff of his
household. One morning, after hearty
breakfast, he went mad quite unex-
pectedly, and trampled five of his at
tendants to death. To shoot him would
have been sacrilege. An attempt to
tranquillize his perturbed spirit by en-
circling him with huge ring of holy
bamboo, specially blessed by the Holy
Priest Of his own particular temple,
proved worse than Intellectual, for he
broke through the ring and all but
terminated the High Priests career upon
the spot. He was then with great diff
ficulty driven into close court of the
palace, where, after several furious en-
deavors to batter down the walls with
his tusks, he suddenly toppled over on
his side, and uttered q last cry Of rage.
Naturally enough this heavy calamity
was attributed to criminal carelessness
on the part of one or other of the at
tendants intrusted with the sacred
elephants feeding. The King thereupon
Intercepted the members of His Sublime
Grandeur's household in person with
respect to their treatment of the illustri-
GUS deceased, and failing to elicit any
individual confession of delinquency,
decreed that they should one and all be
punished. Having thus indicated
propriety, his Majesty assumed the garb
of woe, and is understood to be still in
consolable for his loss. "-NeaU York

had wonderful effect among the men en-
ployed here. One of them jammed his arm
very badly and by the use of st. Jacobs Oil
was greatly benefited, and the arm was
healed. Another used it for severe rheu-
matte pains in the knee, and pronounced the

our reporter: | am one more of the fort

WRITING WITH LEMON JUICE,

Father John Gerard, of the Society of Jesus,
who was confined and cruelty tortured in the
Tower of London at the end of Queen Elizabeth s
reign was in the habit of writing letters in orange
or lemon juice to his friends. The manner in
which he thus bafied the vigilance of his jailors
is described in detail in his highly interesting
autobiography published a few years ago by the
Rev. Father John Morris. Father Gerard says
"Now, lemon juice has this property, that
what is written in it can be read in water quite
as well as by fire, and when the paper is dried
the writing disappears again till it is stepped
afresh, or again held to the fire. But anything
written with orange juice is at once washed out
by water and cannot be read at all in that way :;
and if held to the fire. though the characters are
thus made to appear, they will not disappear
so that letter of this sort once read can never
be delivered to any one as if it had not been
read. The party will see at once that it has been
read, and will certainly disown and refuse it if
it should contain anything dangerous
One result of Father Gerard's orange Juice
correspondence was that, with the aid of Jealous
friends outside, he effected his escape from the
Tower in 1897. The last ten years of his life
were spent in the English college at Rome, where
he closed long, arduous, and meritorious career
on July y, 1880, aged seventy-three.

Nothing their sound shall signify;
Nothing the headstone's fret of rain
Nothing to me the dark days pain.
Sooner or later the sun shall shine
With tender warmth on that mound of mine
Sooner or later in summers air
Clover and violets blossom there.
] shall not feel in that deep-laid rest
The sheeted light fall over my breast
Nor even note in those hidden hours
The wind-breath of the tossing flowers.
Sooner or later the stainless SHOWS
Shall add their hush to my mute repose;
Sooner or later shall slant and shift
And heap my bed with their dazzling drift.
Chill though that frozen pail may seem,
Its touch no colder can make the dream
That recks not the deep and sacred dread
Shrouding the city of the dead.
Sooner or later the bee shall come
And fill the noon with its golden hum;
Sooner or later On half-poised wing
The bluebird above my grave shall sing,
Sing and chirrup and whistle with glee:
Nothing his music can mean to me;
None of those beautiful things shall know
How soundly their lover sleeps below.
Sooner or later, far out in the night,
The stars shall over me wing their flight;
Sooner or later the dar<ling dews
Catch the white spark in their silent ooze.
Never a ray shall part the gloom
That wraps me round in the silent tomb;
Peace shall be perfect to lips and brow
Sooner or later; oh, why not now?
