ELEPHANTS RULED BY FEAR.

George Artingstall, the noted elephant
trainer, now managing twenty elephants in
Barnum's circus, says that for twenty three
years he has done nothing but train and
manage elephants. l rule them all through
fear and not affection. They are naturally
very effeotionate animals at times, but are
sure to take advantage Of any concessions
granted them on that score. II see o
keeper becoming kind to On elephant dis
charge him and hire another. The first
thing teach baby elephant is his name,
Then ! compel him to come when his name
Ia called. II he is tardy about learning !
punish him severely. The course of train
ing Is long and arduous and depends on
the amount of intelligence the elephant pos.
sesses. The African elephants are more
haotable than the India elephants, md II
anything have more intelligence. Most Of
the trained elephants are from Africa. l

sellence required, Ipunish them severely
md perhaps two or three performances will
pass before they get back to their old shys-
ter habits. ! have succeeded in breeding sew
eral young elephants in this country, some
thing which was never done before. A
time may come when the species will be
propagated in America, and the plains of
the West be filed with rowing herds of ele-
plants. But it will be very long time, I
think.
"In captivity they attaia the age of rs
years, and rowing wild in their native for
esta live over 100 years. At as years old an
elephant Is easily trained. The older they
get the harder they are u teach and the
more misohievous do they become. An ele-

Woe OF soul we may encounter
Sadly sudden.
We will meet it calm,
With no CULVER OF the eyeiids,
Greet it, sweet, with royal smiling,
Unexpected.
Then It win bow down;
Ours its strength through care and gladnesc,
Higher, holier strength than Joy gives,
Joy, the ripener.
1t will be our slave;
Ours Its aid when some new spirit
Fronts US, bellicose, horriic,
Notwithstanding
Tears that shine with smiles
Life is only o transition,
Many -colored as a sunset
On the ocean.
Flaming, fieeting, flownl
Coming from the sky's recesses,
Lost upon the oceans BOSOM

Beautiful and fit they must be

Though It creams with bloomy crimsons,

THE ART OF oILING SHOES.
A Bootblack Tells the Secrct--Why Hero
sene OIL Barrels are Painted Blue.

sene OIL Barrels are Painted Blue.
A one-armed bootblack having taken the
contract to oil the shoes of reporter, after
the preliminary brushing began by rub
bling the leather with a wet cloth. When
asked what it was for, he explained. " When
| began this business" said the operator,
pausing moment to cast an admirine
glance at the high, aristocratic arch of the
news-gatherer's instep, +" used to keep on
rubbing the oil into the leather until the man
told me to stop. I thought they'd know
when they had enough and wanted to give
satisfaction. Some of my customers CON-
plained that the oil soaked through then
boots and saturated their socks. I tn ought
perhaps had been putting on too much
oil, but the same fault was found in several
cases where had been more careful. Fin
ally an old shoemaker whom knew came
along, and l asked him what ought to. do
to save my trade. He told me never to oil
shoe until had wet 1t first. The reason
was that the water would penetrate the
leather and, remaining there keep the oil
from soaking through. Besides, the water
would soften the leather and open it so that
he oil would do the leather more good. My
trade has prospered ever since.
g was oiling man up one day and he
asked the same question you did. When
explained the reason, he said that was or
the same principle as that Of painting kero
sene oil barrels. told him thought they
were painted blue just to look nice. He said
it was to prevent the barrels from leaking.
During long voyage or long journey by
rail, sometimes half q barrel of oil would
leak through the pores of the wood and
evaporate. So some sharp fellow began to
study some way of preventing such loss.
He first painted the barrel blue on the out
side and then filed it with water and allow
ed il to stand until it had soaked up all il
would Then the oil was put in. The water
kept the oil from soaking in the wood, and
the paint on the outside kept the water
from coming out. He got a patent on his
discovery, and now he sits in his office and
draws his royalty of cent on every bar
rel made to hold kerosene oil for shipment.
He's got mighty soft thing on oil barrels"

Making a Bow.

In, public, the bow is the proper
mode of salutation, also under certain
circumstances in private; and, accord
inc to circumstances, 1t should be IA
miliar, cordial respectful, or formal.
An inclination of the head or a gesture
with the hand or cane suillces between
men, except when one would be es-
pecially deferential to age or position;
but in saluting a lady, the hat should
be removed. A very common mode OF
doing this in New York, at present,
particularly by the younger men, is to
Jerk the hat off and sling it on as
hastily as possible. AS haste is incom-
patible with grace, and as there is an
old pantomilic law that s6very picture
must be held for a longer or shorter
time, the jerk-and-sling manner of re-
moving the hat, in salutation, is not to
be commended. The empressement a
man puts into his salutations is gradu-
ated by circumstances, the most
deferential manner being to carry the
hat down the full length OF the arm,
keeping it there until the person salut-
ed has passed. If man stops to
speak to lady in the street he should
remain uncovered, unless the CONVERSE
ton should be protracted, which it is
sure not to be, if either of the party
knows and cares to sebserve the. pro-
prieties.
A well-bred man, meeting lady in a
public place, though she is a near
relative-wife, mother, or sister-and
though he may have parted from her
but half an hour before, will salute her
as deferentially as he would salute
mere acquaintance. The passers-by
are ignorant of the relationship, and to
them his deferential manner says: "She
is a lady. . The Mentor, By Alfred tyres.
