Ways of Circus Elephants.

"He knows nothing beside eating zoe
pounds of hay, two and half bushels
Of oats, seventy pounds of Graham bread,
bushe, of carrots or turnips, and drink
ing three barrels of water, each day. u
said the trainer. ale does that as reg
ular as cleckwork, in two instalments,
and begsls-e rest of the time from every
one who comes near him. He never
goes off his feet, not even when he
sleeps, and he never lost his temper
while we had him, except once, when
something had angered him That was
in winter quarters in Bridgeport, but
soon got hun quiet by putting an ad-
ditioLal iron clasp on his tusks."
''But how can you handle such col
ossus" asked the reporter, glancing up
at the fourteen feet in height which rep
resent the $4,000 pounds Of elephantine
matter.
"We drive four stakes in square,
and fasten ropes with pulleys to each
leg. Then we pull the legs apart until
his majesty's belly touches the ground.
In that way we throw him, and leave
him fastened down until he begins to
beg off. After that he is treated with
kindness until another dose becomes
necessary. But, as l say, Jumbo is a
very pleasant fellow and well behaved. y
81 presume the elephants soon learn
to know their keepers" suggested the
reporter.
THAT they do, but not every elephant
is kind, they grow wicked as they
grow old, especially the bulls. We are
more or less in danger all the time, but we
become attached to them as man will
to a horse. They all have a special hobby
or liking. For instance, Hebe, one of
the members of the herd, some years
ago, developed a great liking for a
camel. Whenever the latter lay down
Hebe would stand over him, put her trunk
around his neck, blow on him, and ex-
press her love in shrill trumpetings OF
delight.
"Gypsy, another of the herd, took tc
children, and when Frank Melville, the
bareback rider, travelled with us, Gypsy
showed remarkable fondness for his
littleson. The eanimal recognized the child
every time it came into the tent, and
was almost frantic if the boy didn't come
up aud fondle his trunk. - Chieagc

One Snake Swallows Another.

Colonel Bob Gillian has in a glass
fronted box five large sharks, two black
and three rattlesna41es. None of them
have had their fangs removed, but all are
as dangerous as when captured The
largest is over five feet long and has
thirteen rattles. They were all captured
by Mr.. Vine Sandford on his farm in
Greene county.
Not long since Mr.. Gillian had a very
large king snake in his box, and, obtain
ing a black snake, he put the two in the
box and watched for the result For
several days the king snake would eat
nothing that was given him, and only
watched the black. Finally, one day,
sounds and desperate struggle attracted
those in the store where the reptiles
were kept, and it was seen that the
king snake had the blacks head in its
mouth, and was endeavoring to swallow
him. The two fought, writhing and
lashing their tails for an hour, when the
black snake was dead, The king snake
was three weeks in swallowing the black,
and for six weeks after he had completed
this he ate nothing. Athens (Ga.) Ban

the great prize to contend for. Gained,
it would discharge the note. Not gained,
the note could be renewed, and constant
work must wipe it out. "I have not

But, nevertheless, she tried. And any
one who has called upon a brain alter

such interest in her work He was in to

Poor Melicentl She looked at her work,
and realized what they meant. The foun-
tain was exhausted; the sparkling flow
had ceased; they were drawing now the
dregs. the very lees of life. And why
should she call up her reserves9
why should she win the prize2 why
should she not slip away and let some
body else work now2 What reward had
she for all her work? Not even the
cons ciousness of doing right, for her
sense of right and wrong had always
been conflicting, and never left her at
ease since the second time her husband
had demanded her return And as for

HANGED FOR MURDER.
Horrible Torment of Helpless Pris-
Oner,
NEW YORK, August l.

NEW YORK, August |.
Alexander jefferson, the negro who in a
jeolous rage killed Henry Hicks and Emma
Jackson also colored, and nearly killed an
other negro and slightly wounded his brother
Clarence Jefferson in Brooklyn, was hanged
this morning. Jefferson has claimed all aloD z
that at the time of the commission of the crime
he was insane, therefore he desired that the
surgeon should examine his brain. Should
they find that he was insane, he said, it would
not benefit him any but it would vindicate his
lawyer in the fight he made for him.
As Jefferson's body shot up the cap slipped
round over his chin and his neck was not
broken. For a moment he was motionless,
and then he kicked, struggled and groaned as
he slowly strangled. By desperate effort he
got his right hand up in the rope and tore the
black cap from his face exposing its contOr-
tons and his staring eyes. After he tore the
black cap away. his hand fell down By his
side. The cOntortions and convulsions Of his
body continued for about five minutes before
life was pronounced extinct. Eight minutes
after the rope was cut The body was sent to
the morgue.
