In the extensive menagerle of the New

Circus, q baby elephant was added to the col
lection of animals. II was chained opposite
the cage of a lion. From the first day these
animals became %neighbors they evinced a hos
tility against each other that alarmed the
managers. To prevent an outbreak the ele-
plant was removed TO B point out of the
sight of the lions cage. 1t was thought that
the ANIMALS would forget each other. Shortly
after midnight a Waterman in the street was
startled by the rafting OF chains, followed
Ly the trumpeting of the elephant and the
roaring of the lion. fastening to the museum
he found the managers and a number of stag
Workmen battling with the little elephant
which had seized the lion with its trunk by
the hind leg, and was Juggling to pull the
beast through the bars of the cage. TIL
roars of the lion aroused all the atLer au,mals
and their cries added tO the confusion, Twice
tie nen succeeded in breaking the hold OF
the elephant, which then, maddeued by
scratches and bites of the lion, stroye Ia
break down the strong cage III which lis
enemy was confined, ana twice the elephant
renewed its hold. Finally the men, rein,
forced by other workers in the museum, sue.

An Awful Decision.

The Vermont Supreme Court is kind
to married women. It has just held
that a man is liable in damages for an
assault made by his wife, though it
was made in spite of his best endeav-
ors to prevent it. Since the same court
would probably hold that a man has
no right to lock his wife in the cellar
or chain her to a post in the back yard
as he would a savage animal, the wife
has the long end of the law in that
State. When she wishes a new bonnet
she can bring her husband to time By
threatening to go out and pound some
inoffensive neighbor $4,000 or $4,000
worth. Or il two married women talk
ing owe the back fence agree to have
a silk dress apiece, tone can maui the
other until that other has cause for ac-
ton against the ~assailant's husband,
and the two women can divide the
profits ; for, if one has to stand the
mailing and the other has to furnish
the husband to be mulcted, neither can
be said to be a dead head in the en-
terprise, since both put up an equal
amount of capital into the business.
Then if, after a woman has about
out her husbands bank ac-
she wishes to shake him off, she
can take her rolling-pin and set out to
lido up the whole street, which would
doubtless cause her man to slide down
the ear lightning-ro and start for
Canada before the papers in the case
could be made out.-Chicago News.

no not Lend or Borrow.

If you have a good friend and desire
to make an enemy of him there is no
way in which you a succeed SO expe-
.ditiously as to lend him money. He de-
sires to borrow money because he is
short, he will not be likely to pay at the
time due, for the reason that he contin-
ues to be short. This will cause you to
nourish hard feelings and win cause
him to cross to the other side of the street
when he is likely to meet you, and your
interviews thereafter will not be on a
cordial footing. On the other hand if
you have ar acquaintance who bores
you with his company, calling frequent
lyand staying a long time talking about
uninteresting matters, you can usually
dispose of him also by lending him o
ey.
Should you ever be tempted to Dor
row money, or run in debt, sit down
quietly and ask yourself what you want
this money for. IL you desire the mon
ey for the purchase of some article of
luxury or other indulgence, quietly dis
miss the matter from your mind, con-
Guiding that you cannot afford to pur-
chase that which you have not the mon
ey to pay for. If you want the money to
help pay for a farm, or a house and lot
for your own use, it may be now and
then a wise act to borrow, providing
you are reasonably sure that yon can
pay the debt when called upon. The
secret of making money IS in learning
not to want what you cannot afford. 1t
is a poor plan to have accounts running
with the butcher, the blacksmith, the
wagon maker or the doctor, and all
persons who have such accounts are
borrowers. Pay day will come speedily,
and by buying on credit Il is often
induced to buy that which he would not
buy if called upon to pay cash.
What greater nuisance is there than a
neighbor who drops in to borrow a tea
cupful of sugar, or tea, or coffee, u quart
of vinegar, milk, or oil, or medicine, or
farm toolsq It is impossible for neigh
bors to long remain friends who borrow
in this manner. Sooner or later they
will forget to return some of the items,
but the lender never forgets what has
been lent. Here trouble begins. One
who is a perpetual borrower cannot be
independent, nor can he be so much Of
a man, as he who depends upon his own
resources.
