A GlRAFFE'S MEMORY.

How He Instantaneously Recognized His
Tormentor of IA Year Ago.
The funniest thing I ever saw OF
heard of in connection with the mem
ny of animals happened one year
when l was out West with a travelling
menagerie. 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
DRY. But this one showed a 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 go
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
L 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 1 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 out.
Now, what do you think was the mat
ter with that giraffe? l 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
10 have a particular aversion to.
When he saw the young man near him
he began to tremble violently, and
make desperate efforts to break away.
| questioned the young man, and
found that year before he had crossed
on the ferry-boat with this menagerie.
There was 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 CRATES
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.

THE PARLOR BEAU.
Sensible Atlanta Maidens Propose to Pun
ish Him for His SeIfishness.

Sensible Atlanta Maidens Propose to Pun
ish Him for His SeIfishness.
A war has begun in Atlanta against
the parlor beauX-young men who like
to spend an agreeable evening with
young ladies at their homes, but who
never ask the young ladies to go to the
theater or any other place where money
is necessary. One young woman says,
with disgust, that young men spend
evenings in her parlor and tell her all
about the performances they have at
tended alone.
This is timely and wholesome war
fare. Any evening numbers of young
men may be seen at the Milwaukee
heaters alone, although they are
known to be society young men and
indefatigable parlor beaux. They go
to the theater whenever there is any
thing worth seeing, alone, although
they are able to take young ladies.
There never was time when young
men were so Indifferent to the just
claims of young ladies. There is an
understood rule that the young man
shall make some recognition of a
courtesy at the hands of young lady.
but if he does this, he certainly does
no more. There is no escaping the
conviction that the young man who is
constantly enjoying the society of
young ladies, is very mean-spirited
and selfish person if he attends thea
ter alone. There are any number of
charming young women who do not
require that a young man shall go to
the expense of a carriage. They are will
ing to 90 by street-car, or better yet to
walk, to the theater. Any young man
with the right sort of feeling, is willing
to go only half as often and to take a
young lady with him.
The Atlanta girls resent their treat
ment not because of the loss of the
theater, but because of the lack of de-
cent consideration the young men show.
1t is the Indifference to one of the
plainest rights of young women. They
propose to use the cold shoulder here
after. They do not intend that young
men shall play the role of grand mogul
and think it is enough if they smile on
the young ladies of an evening in the
parlor. The girls are right about this.

About Catching Gold.

Thin-skinned persons catch cold
most easily. Active exercise sets them
into a perspiration, and the sudden
checking of the perspiration when ex-
ercise ceases causes cold. Such per-
sons may seldom have severe colds il
they learn how to manage them, and
perhaps they have less actual sickness
such as interferes with work orpleas-
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
longer handle. l hare seen very
good one made of hair brush with
longer handle attached to it. Habit
makes the use of flesh brush on I'M
dressing fot 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,-

TWO GAS STORIES.
The Ihexplicable Connection Existing Be-

The Iaexplicable Connection Existing Be-
tween Meters and Gas Bills.
Talking about gas bills" said Tim
minis at the club the other night "does
anybody know what meter has to do
with them? There are two offices,
No. A and No. 6, in the Exchange block;
Bloater has No. 6 and have No. f.
The gas fixtures are duplicate. Bloater
uses his gas long hours every evening;
1 use it about an hour only. For six
months the gas bills for the offices
stated that the meters registered the
same for each room. The bills were
paid until in August [ was away the
whole month and Bloater worked until
midnight and one night left the gas
burning all night. The 1st of Sep
TENDER the bills were presented as usual
for the same amount. The next day
we had the meters taken out and sub
stituted lamps"
my experience beats yours" said
Tom Stratton. 1--WE live in a double
house and are very quiet family, while
our neighbors in the other part are very
gay and entertain constantly, yet our
gas bills were constantly sent in for the
anne number of feet. Finding remon-
STRANGE vain, bought kerosene lamps
and for a clean month did not turn a
gas screw. At the close of the month
in came the usual bill The next month
1 turned on every jet in the house
every evening. and at the end of the
month paid a gas bill of sixty cents
less than the month before. Then l
gave it up."-Menphis appeal.
