ia WAYS OF ELEPHANTS.


Particulars ,hE (which They Hessmbis
Human Belngs-Love of Wildly.
New York Tribune1
IAN elephant is nobody's fool" said
George Arstingstall, the animal trainer,
as he leaned oyer the ropes and looked
at two sore of huge pets. They're
very like human creatures. Some of
them are good-natured and some are
ugly. As they grow older their tempers
grow worse. The COW Is generally
amiable enough TO support the reputa-
ton of her sex, but occasionally we
strike q wicked specimen. Juno there, .
pointing to an elephant whose immense
ears and a~bnormnlly developed bump of
philoprogenitiveness gave her a look Of
preternatural benevolence, 'has killed
her man, and would do il again if she
got the chance.
The elephant will live a long time
in captivity after he has become accus-
toned to dry food, but like the cob
bler's horse that was kept on ~shoe-pegs,
he is very apt TO die before adapting
himself to the diet. Elephants have
been known to live 70 years in Europe
In India, where they feed on green food,
cane and the like, they ofton attain the
age Of 100. There is no proof Of a
longer lease OF life than this, though
big stories are told Of elephants turned
loose after the name of some king had
been inscribed upon their tusks being
found again 800 or 400 years later.
They're Just like children. When |
have them out in the morning for a
dress rehearsal, they're quick IS cats,
minding almost before the word is out
Of my mouth. But in the afternoon
they are gaping this way and that, do
ing everything but attending to bust
ness, because they know that l won't
strike them before a crowd of specta-
tors. They hate to take medicine, too,
unless it has a little of the 'craythur' in
il. Are elephants ever sickl oh, yesi
They often have the collie. When they
begin TO double up | give 'em a dose Of
five or six gallons of rum and ginger.
That Strengthens 'em out. An equal
quantity of boiled linseed oil mixed.
with aconite and molasses does for
physic, while about five gallons of rum
and whisky are prescribed for chills.
Solid drugs are given in pills. A pill
eight inches in diameter and containing
81 worth OF q%uinine does the business
for n cold, while a pepsin pill is given
when one gets off his feed. Igaye
Juno over $50 worth of quinine in one
fit of sickness. They don't like the pills
ms well MS the whisky, and it's a good
deal of ajob to get them down. The best
way is to put a pill on the end of a
stick, make them open their mouths,
and shove it down before they realize
the situation Sometimes we cut out
the middle Of a -urnip and put the
drugs inside the vegetable, but like the
bad ohlld in the Sunday school book,
they're very apt to spit out the core. ;
Yes, elephants arc queer creatures

A Cincinnati reader sends me this
idea; "a friend told me yesterday, in
speaking of the natural gas explosions,
that they were due to the heavy pressure
from the reservoir, il being often forty
FIVE pounds, while artificial light com
panies permit as a standard less than
one half Of n pound. There may be
other causes, but this, he claims, is the
greatest cause of leaks in the pipes. He
told me of a we'll in Kentucky, owned
by a man named Husing, a Third street
broker in Cincinnati, which has a
pressure Of 600 or 700 pounds to the
square inch, and that for months ii has
been wasting 5000, 600 or 10, 600, 0OO
cubic feet to the twenty-f four hours.
This, he says, represents . 1000 or
50, 900 per day wasted, and that the
owner intended some day to pipe it to a
market. l am satisfied that this infor-
nation Is correct y

The Largest Herd or Bates shorthorns.
To the Editor Of the Mark Lane Express.
9 SR-I think it is less than fair that
because a Chicago paper garbles a state
ment made by me in an English paper,
the Daily Telegraph, that you should re-
quote this in order to suggest that | am
dabbling in f%ctions, not dealing with
facts. recognize that | am not likely to
get courteous treatment from the Chicago
press in a attempt to carry a large and
valuable trade away from the metropolis
of shambles' by a route which passes to
the north of Chicago.
never wrote that Mr.. Kohr had the
largest herd Of Bates Shorthorns in the
world up on the ranges of Montana, ?
Mr.. Kohr has a very large herd, perhaps
$1,000 head on those ranges. These are
good cattle, but of course not herd book
stock. But he has got within fence, at
Deer Lodge, neal the Utah Northern
railroad in Montana, what is, | imagine,
the largest herd of Bates blood in the
world. Mr.. Kohr commenced this herd
about twelve years since with a number
of herd book S%horthorns imported. and
from Kentucky. lie has not, / believe,
continued to make his entries in the
American herd book, but that apart. there
has never been any doubt thrown upon
the absolute purity of blood in the herd,
which is recruited from time to time from
the East.
What it numbers now | cannot tell you;
but, from the fact that. after supplying
the yearly requirements of his large herd
on the range, he has annually a hundred
y%earling bulls to offer his neighbor
many of which | have bought, | think i
can hardly be oven the mark in writing
tina, Mr.. Kohr has the largest herd Of
Bates Shorthorns in the world.
You will kindly insert this statement,
even though it is hardly relevant as re
CARDS the larger, and more interesting
question, which is whether store cattle are
not sufficiently law in England to compete
on fair terms with the foreign trade in
dead meat. am going to read a report
to the Newcastle Farmers club on Satur-
day, April II, a copy Of which report |
shall take pleasure in forwarding, and fol
which, if l claim your attention, / do not
disclaim your candid criticism.
