Sloyenly Reading.

The Journal of Progress warns all
men, old and young, against an evil
thing which has been described as the
prevailing pestilence of slovenly read
ing This pest;lence has laid low
many a one who Legan life with excellent
prospects. 1t is ruinous both to mind
and morals. 1t is apt even to injure a
mans business habits and prevent him
from winning success in practical af-
fairs. In time it will confound all his
faculties; it will destroy his capacity
for clear perception, for precise thought
and for proper reasoning. 1t will throw
into confusion his judgment and his
memory. If he does not get rid of it be

any literary work of any kind W nth
looking at. How many slovenly rad
ers are to be found in these times!
They will, in their slovenly fash;on
read newspaper article, perhaps
very excellent one, and when they have
got to the end of it, or, as they say,
when they have s.looked through it, or
glanced over it," YOU will find that
they are unable to give any accurate ac-
count OF its argum mt, or that they do
not apprehend its fundamental points,
or that they have lost one of its links,
or that they have overlooked an inn
portant illuslrat on. or that they have
failed to seize word which is the very
hinge of the writer's thought, or that
they have wholly misunderstood the
drift and purpose of the article which
they have wasted their time in glancing
over. These slovenly readers are an
affliction to care III and correct writer's.
When such a writer sees how his rea-
soning and his language are d s.o ted
by them, bis mind is apt to become
ruffied, and every one knows how a
ruffied mind units man for tn work
of perspicaeious composition. We are
of tae opinion that the prevailing pesti-
lenee of s'ovenly reading is largely due
to the slovenly way in which children
are taught to read n school. Teachers
must be very careful about tbs thing;
they must teach their scholars to read
with precision and understanding,
thinking of every word, get ing the
sense of each sentence, and grasping
the f'll nearing OF any piece that may
be before them.-Scien:ifc american.

The White Elephant.

| The elephant is not white but of
very disagreeable leprous looking shade
| of flesh color. Thisfis probably the
| first time one of these albinos has ever
gone out of Asia, and the chances are
that it would not have done SO even
now if the present sovereign of Bur-
| NAH had not been a lunatic. King
Theebaw is as mad as ever any halter
was, and "a ruffian as we'll. All that he
has yet done in the way of extravagant
execution of his autocratic power is as
nothing compared to the sale of a
white elephant. Hitherto it had been
death to remove from the kingdom, or
even to conceal the fact of the existence
of such an animal; for to do so was
sacrilege in the highest degree. But to
sell a white elephant! There is no Ian
guage in Asia to express the infamy of
such a transaction, since the white ele-
plant is the sacred emblem and abode
of Burman divinity. 1t is addressed as
'.Lord of Lords. Priests PROSTATE
themselves as it passes bv. All the
honors of worship are paid to it. A
noble of high rank has to be its cham
berlain. Its retinue is fit for a prince
of the royal blood. Not that such al
binos are very rare; in India, for in
stance, where it is not sacred. elephants
patched with pink are by no means un-
common.
But from time immemorial, when the
old Count of Ava was a great power in
Asia. it has been one OF the emblems of
kingly rank, a symbol of divnely given
severe; gnty, the incarnation OF the IA
vors OF heaven, nay. incarnate divinity
itself. Sickness among the sacred ami
mails was ominous of coming evil; their.
demeanor and gestures afforded augur-
les, auspiciousi or sinister. They were
the oracles of Burnah. and more than
this, the Palladia too. Yet, for the sake of
dollars, King Theebaw has sold white
elephant. He has plenty more, it is
true-and elephants are expensive pets
to keep-but in ali its history d d Egypt
ever descend to bargain over a god, or
Rome or Greece part, for cash or other
consideration, with anything that is re-
veredo That the elephant will like it is
hardly probable, since it is one thing to be
a sacred animal. fed upon all the deli
cacies of the season, and with nothing
to do but march on great occasions in
a procession, and quite another to be-
come the property of Snowman.
These natural curiosities are proven
b;ally delicate in constitution and for
all that the new possessor knows his
Majesty may hav, sold him one that
was already in ill health. King Thee
bawis quite unscrupulous enough for any
enormity-even getting the best of an
American speculator.-Cor. London

meals at their benches. Last Saturday
noon, after finishing their MONDAY
meal, several of them went TO the win.
dow and observed the passeis by.
Suddenly there was seen H. pass girl
against whom some of the gasers had
grudge. They began 10 call to the
passing one. She looked, and Ia an-
swer to, their gestures came up the
stairs. She was Immediately SUI
rounded and roundly denounced by
the bex girls. She did not take kind

girls struck at the stranger; she pulled
the hair of the pugilistically iHclined.
The crowd sprang on her and in u trice
her hair was pulled down over her
shoulder. She yelled with agony aud
fought desperately as she backed into
the corner. The other girls who had
as yet taken no hand In the aflray, ran
to the spot, some siding with the as
sailants. and others with the strange
girl. Then the fun commenced in
earnest. Every girl in the fight, and
thirteen of the fifteen were In il, had
her hair pulled down and her dress
clawed. Many scratches were visible
on the sweating faces. After about
five minutes of this Wild fight, n truce
was declared, But In the endeauor
to settle matters, recriminations Were
so fierce that one girl with wild oath
grabbed her neighbours hair and began
to yank her around the room. Both
fighters were set up again and the
fight soon beggared description. Tn,
girls were frenMed. They swore anc
yelled and cried and fought like de
mons. A young man who Is q kind o
