A VERY MAD ELEPHANT.
HUNTING WILD BEASTS IN THE EAST.
Stories For the Young FoIks-Condensation
George Washington and the Ratchet
Stephens -Patience-Among
the Kids-Knotty Problems.

When an elephant goes mad, he makes
things lively. A company of Englishmen
were out on tiger-shooting expedition,
and all at once were startled by a shout
from one of their servants: ''Run. run,
Sahibsl the tusker has gone mad. He
has broken loose" Most of the company
got out of the beasts way, but one fellow
was still in the tent.
Over the river we could see the brute
in a frenzy of rage, kneeling on the shape
less heap of cloth, furniture, poles and
ropes and digging his tusks with savage
fury into the hangings and canvas.
We had little doubt that poor Mac lay
crushed to death, smothered beneath the
weight of the ponderous animal, or
mangled out of all likeness to humanity
by the terrible tusks that we could see
flashing in the moonlight. 1t seemed an
age. this agony of suspense.
Everything showed as clear as if it had
been day. We saw the elephant tossing
the strong canopy about as dog would
worry a door-mat Thrust after thrust
was made by the tusks into the cloth.
Raising his huge trunk, the brute would
scream in the frenzy of his wrath, and at
the last, after what seemed an age, but in
reality was only few minutes, he stag
gered to his feet and rushed into the
jungle.
Just then a smothering groan struck
like a peal OF joy-bells on our anxious
ears, and a muifled voice was heard from
beneath the folds of the shamiaha: "Look
alive, you fellows, and get me out of this
or | shall be smothered!'
In trying to elude the first rush OF the
the elephant his foot had caught in one
of the tent ropes, and the whole falling
canopy had then come bodily upon him,
hurting the camp-table and a few cane
chairs over him. Under these he had
lain, able to breathe, but not daring to stir.
His escape seemed miraculous. The
cloth had several times been pressed so
close over his face as nearly to stifle him..
The brute, in one of its savage, purpose
less thrusts, had pierced the ground be-
tween his arms and his ribs, pinning his
Afghan choga or dressing-gown deep into
the earth; and he said he felt himself
sinking into Inconsistencies, when the
brute happily got up and rushed off.
''How did you feel?" / asked.

DIVORCES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

In Australia divorces have never been sane
toned.
Divorces are scarcely ever known to occur in
modern Greece.
In Hindostan either party for slight cause
may leave the other and marry.
In the olden times the Jews had discre-
tionary power OF divorcing their wives.
Divorces are scarcely allowed in Thibet, I'M
less with the consent OF both parties. Remar-
rage is forbidden.
In Cochin China the parties desiring divorce
break pair of chop-sticks in the presence of
witnesses and the thing is done.
Among some tribes of American Indians the
pieces of sticks given the witnesses of the mar
riage are broken as a sign of divorce.
If the wife of Turkoman asks his permits
sion to go out, and he says go" without add
ing come back again" they are divorced.
Two kinds of divorces are granted in Cir
cassia. By the first the parties can Immediately
marry again; by the second, not for year.
In Liberia If a man is dissatisfied with the
most trifing acts of his wife he tears a cap or
veil from her face and that constitutes divorce
Among the Moors, if the wife does not be-
come the mother of boy, she may be divorced
with the consent of the tribe and can marry
again.
In Siam the first wife may be divorced, but
not sold as the others may be. She may claim
the first child. The others belong to the
husband.
In the arctic regions a man who wants d.
vorce leaves home in anger and does not return
for several days. The wife takes the hint and
departs.
In China divorces are allowed in all cases of
criminality, mutual dislike, jealousy, incom-
patibility OF temperament, or too much
loquacity on the part of the wife.
Among the Tartars if the wife is ill treated
she complains to the magistrate, Who attended
by the principal people, accompanies her to the
house and pronounces divorce.

Farm Notes.

In submitting his fourth annual report to the
president. Commissioner Colmsn briefly re-
capitulates the work done by the various di'
visions of his department in applying the latest
results OF scientific discoveries to agricultural
practice The aim of the department is a prac-
tical one and in the direction of economy and
variety In production, through the union OF
science ard experiment The past year has
been one Of activity, and new sections and
branches have been organized, the work of
which viii prove of great value to the future
agricultural operations of this country.
The appropriation by the national govern
ment of $1,000 per annum to each OF the states
and territories which have established agrlcuI-
Iural colleges or agricultural departments OF
colleges in accordance with the act OF congress
approved March 2, 1887, has led to the estab-
lIshment OF new stations or the increased ue-
velopment OF stations previously estaohsneo
under state authority In thirty-seven states and
one territory. In several states two or more
district stations are In operation; IN others the
stations have several branches under one head
Counting these latter as single stations, the
total number at present Is forty-two, but count
ing the branches separately this total NUMBER
would be not far from fifty.
Readers and the public in general can hardly
fail TO be surprised at the rapid growth made by
this enterprise for elevating agriculture by the
md of science, when 1t is remembered that the
first agricultural experiment station In the
United States was established IN Connecticut
in 1870 whose example was slowly followed
elsewhere until IN 1886 some seventeen OF these
institutions had been organized in as many
states Since then, under the impetus fur
rished BY the liberality of the general govern
nent separate state stations bad increased TO
the number before stated. Most OF the new
stations are now In actual operation, bulletins
and reports are being published, and the in
vestigations cover a very wide range of topics
OF interest 10 the farmer.

The bed linen should be changed at least
once IN three days. the blankets once week,
those that have been removed being hung IN
the open air for few hours, then thoroughly
aired IN a warm room.
The room should be kept thoroughly ven
tilsted, and temperature not lower than 6S'
nor higher than ZOE. Ii the patient is kept
warm. air may be freely admitted without the
least danger.
The carpet of a sick-room should be lightly
brushed once day with wetted broom The
furniture and woodwork should be wiped with
a damp cloth. Dry dusIers and feather brushes
are worse than useless.
The cross-sheet should invariably be kept
free from crumbs and wrinkles, as these are a
frequent cause OF bed-sOres. Whenever the
least redness shows on the patients body the
skin must be at once bathed with alcohol,
thoroughly dried and busted with powdered
oxide OF zinc.
A sheet folded once lengthwise, laid across
the bed, with the upper edge Just touching
the pillows and the ends tightly tucked under
the mattresses will be found TO add greatly to
the patients comfort. 1t does not wrinkle like
a single sheet, and crumbs may be readily
brushed of ii.
The nurses dress should invariably be neat

and saying a dozen times an hour: How

man wild.
Meals for invalids should look as tempting
rs possible The tray should be covered with
The whitest napkin, and the silver. glass and
rhina should shine with cleanliness. The
patient should not be disguised by a display of
TOO much food and should not be consulted be-
forehand as TO what he viii eat drink
In bathing the invalid never uncover too
large a surface at once. Pin a blanket round
the shoulders fastening il behind, and remove

portion at a time. A woman's hair should be
combed every day if she is able to bear the
fatigue. If il has become tangled a little sweet
oil will loosen il.
Household troubles should be kept far from
the sick room. Above all, an invalid or an
apparent cOnvalescent should be saved from
his friends. One garrulous acquaintance may
IN half an hour undo the good of a week OF
tender nursing. In long illness small bed
table Will be found indispensable. Every cup,

Stephens Text.

A few weeks ago a favorite uncle of
stephen Abbey, lad belonging to this
neighborhood, went away, to be gone for
an indefinite length of time. Stephen
thought the proper thing for him to do
was to buy present for his relative, and
the object he set his young mind upon
was bible.
"He has more than one bible now"
said Stephens mother.
And he'll have another when he gets
mine, was the imperturbable reply.
The bible was purchased, and then it
was decided by the boy to write an zap
propriate" verse of scripture on the fly
leaf. And these were the significant
words selected and written by Stephen:
wrath.-Ephesians, vi, 4.

A Cool Little Head.

Myself and wife left the house in care
of our two little daughters-Rosie. twelve
years, and Gusta, nine years old-one
evening not long ago. During our alb
sence some one rang the bell. Gusta
opened the door. There she found a
rather unprepossessing fellow offering
stove-blacking for sale. Like a flash it
passed through her mind that if he knew
their lonely position he might take advan-
tage OF it. She said: "Wait till ask
mamma first, and walking into the room
asked loud enough for him to hear it.
Mamma, do you want any stove-black-
ing?" She then told him: Mamma
don't want any"
