A GiRAFFE'S MEMORY.
How He Instantanoously Recognized His
Tormentor of u Year Ago.

How He Instnntanoously Recognized His
Tormentor of a Year Ago.
The funniest thing I ever saw or
heard of in connection with the mem.
cry of animals happened one year
when l was out West with travelling
menagcrie. You've heard, of course,
how elephants will remember an in
suit twenty years, some say longer.
Well, this little incident concerned a
giraffe-and giraffes, you know, are
not generally credited with much
sense, any way, to say nothing of mem
ory. But this one showed great deal
of the latter quality, any way. We had
got as far as Rock Island, ILL.,, where
we had to cross the Mississippi on an
old ferry, that being before the big
Government bridge was built there.
Everything went all right until We
came to this giraffe. He wouldn't 60
on the ferry. Coaxing, soaring, push
ing, beating did no good. He simply
lay down on the river bank and would
not bulge. While | was working over
him the ferry made another trip. When
she came back up gets Mr.. Giraffe as
spry as you please the first time
| urged him and marched straight
on to the ferry. Several peo-
pie who had been on the boat the trip
before and seen the giraffe's queer ca
pers on the other side of the river were
waiting to see what kind of luck had.
Well. the boat was fifty feet or so from
the down shore when that giraffe hap.
pened to turn his head toward the
landing and see those people. He gave
a giraffe trumpet, and, before 1 knew
what he was doing, jumped over the
rail into the water. 1t took three
quarters of an hour to pull him ont.
Now, what do you think was the mat
ter with that giraffe? I discovered it
while the crowd was gathering around
the rescued animal below the dock.
Among the people was one tall, slim
young fellow that the giraffe seemed
to have particular aversion to.
When he saw the young man near him
he began to tremble violently, and
make desperate efforts to break away.
I questioned the young man, and l
found that year before he had crossed
on the ferry-boat with this menagerie.
There was a giraffe among the animals
on the lower deck, and his head had
stretched away up to the passenger
deck Of the ferry, where the young
man was sitting with some friends.
AS the giraffe's long neck had come
twisting around in his direction he had
been cruel enough to take a quid OF
tobacco and throw it down the giraffe s
open mouth. No doubt it was the
same giraffe had with me then, and
no doubt, too, he recognized his tor
mentor the instant his eyes fell on him.

About Catching Cold.

Thin-skinned persons catch cold
most easily. Active exercise sets them
into perspiration, and the sudden
checking of the perspiration when ex-
ercise ceases causes cold. Such per-
sons may seldom have severe colds if
they learn how to manage them, and
perhaps they have less actual sickness
such as interferes with work or pleas
ure-than persons who do not take
cold easily. Flesh brushing during the
cooler months lessons the liability to
catch cold. A flesh brush is much like
an ordinary hair brush, only with a
longer handle. l have seen a very
good one made of hair brush with a
longer handle attached to it. Habit
makes the use of flesh brush on I'M
dressing for bed or on rising in the
morning, luxury and almost necess-
ity for comfort. A brief, vigorous rub
bing of the skin promotes its healthy
activity and its ability to resist cold

The best possible thing for man
to do when he feels too weak to carry
any thing through, is to 60 to bed and
sleep as long as he can. This is the
only recuperation of brain force; be-
cause, during sleep the brain is in a
state of rest, in a condition to receive
and appropriate particles of nutriment
from the blood, which take the place of
those which have been consumed on
previous labor. -Health Monthly.

professors of religion will acknowledge that
they are striving after. And yet, when one
comes to study the subject, aud takes the
Holy Scriptures as guide, no must faiu
admit: that the Devil not only has taken
that high position, but that there is neither
reason nor scripture to show why he NAV
not do it again.
In JOB i, 6 and Z, we read snow there
was day when the sons of God came
to present themselves before the Lord, and
Satan came also among them. And the
Lord said unto Satan whence cometh
thou?' And Satan answered the Lord
and said, From going to and fro in the
earth, and from walking up and down in
It," This visit is repeated, see Job, 9 chan.
The Lord, for very wise purpose. permit.
ted the Devil to atflict his servant Job, and
we all know how his patience was tried. and
now true he proved himself to God through
1t all. If such trials and affections were
sent upon men in those days to prove their
faith, and the Devil used as the means, and
permitted to talk face 10 face with God
about it, why cannot the same Lord do the
same in this day?
Who is this Devil anyhow, that 90 much
is said about him Let scripture answer :

MORE TROUBLE IN FRANCE-In the

Sarrien, minister of the interior, speaking in
opposition to q motion fer the total aboli-
ton of the offices Of sub-p:cfects, promised
that he would introduce bill providing for
partial abolition of the offices Prime
Minister de Frcycinet supported NJ. Sar-

seizing every chance that was offered to
overthrow the government. The chamber,
however. adopted the motion for total abol-
iton by a majority OF Is votes, thus defeat
ing the government. There was intense
excitement in the lobbies of the chambers
After the vote was announced the sitting OF
the chamber was suspended at the instance
of M. de Freycinet in order that the cabinet
might consider its position. After the cabi
net meeting the ministers went TO the Ely
see palace and rendered their resignation to
President Grevy. The cabinet will meet to
day. 1t is believed that President Grevy is
averse to dissolving the ministry and will
asked M. de Freycinet to reform the cabi-
net. NM. Serrien, Develle, and Goblet will
probably insist upon retiring. The budget
