piled the clerk, very sharply, at the

ticket box in the face of the old woman.
Nothing daunted after o few minutes,
she for the third time approached the
ticket box. When the window was
drawn up she repeated her question,
making sure at the same time that the
clerk would not treat her as on the last
occasion by inserting her basket in the
aperture. The clerk, now irritated by
her persistence, answered In q more dig

old woman, cycling him steadily. said:

An EIephan.., nIemorr.

A circus travelling through the country
parts of England stopped one day at a
little town called Hythe. That night
when everything was quiet in the tent,
animals and employees all being sound
asleep, Clytie, one Of the elephants, de
Hberately and without any uproar, broke
he chain that fastened her foot, and
leaving the tent started toward the center
of the town. Nobody was astir, and so
she had the way all TO herself.
She proceeded without delay or hest
tation to a little shop that stood on the
main street of the village, and finding it
closed, of course, she Immediately
forced an entrance with her enormous
head and was soon as busy an
elephant as you ever saw examining
candy and cakes down her capacious
throat. The man who owned the shop
came running in from the back ROOM,
but Clytie did not pause in her lunch on
that account, nor did she pay any more
attention when he ran out again crying,
"Owl Owr' In fact, she totally disre-
garded the entire neighborhood when
they took up that cry of "Owl Owl"
But pretty soon n little man came up,
who cried out in n sharp voice:
Hi, there, Clytie! What dye mean?
Come out o that now, dye heart"
And Clytie did come out, and in a
great hurry, too, for the little man was
her keeper, and she not only had q great
deal of respect for him, but she was
afraid of him, as well. But, after all,
she didn't caro- much about it, for she
had filled herself with candy and cakes,
andthat WAS all she was after
The most puzzling question was-how
did she distinguish n candy shop from
any other shop in the village? The shop
man gave the answer to this himself-he
had fed an elephant candy at that very
shop twelve years before, and inquiry
developed the fact that Clytie was that
elephant. She had remembered the shop
that was nll.-St. Nicholas.

The Ideal America.

1t seems to us that there is much which
is arbitrary In the ascription of this or
that quality or function to this or that
nation. 1t is like dividing the mind into
faculties: the imaginative faculty, the
reflective faculty, the critical faculty; as
If either of these were something that
could act alone.
No one has had greater influence in
forming the citizens of this republic to
their faith in themselves and in one an
other than Jefferson; yet Mr.. Bryce in
his new book says that jefferson was one
with Rousseau in supposing g natural
elevation in average human nature and
trusting to it.
AS Rousseau was the first one, he was
probably the one, and through his foster
son was the father of American democ-
racy, of that in US which more distinct
lively than anything else we can call
Americanism-our faith in humanity,
our love of equality.
One cannot claim that Americans of
English origin are alone the depositaries
of this belief, this passion; and we rather
doubt If either would perish though all
Americans of English stock persisted.
The ideal America, which is the only
real America, is not In the keeping of
any n race her destinieS are too large
for that custody; the English race is only
N of many races with which her future
rests.-W. d. Howells in Harper's Mag
azine.

A Change In the Prince.

Hidden away in the weekly gossip col
umn of The Birmingham Post is the fol-
lowing remarkable account of the change
which has come over his royal highness
the Prince of Wales:
I'VE are all Socialists at heart said
the Prince of Wales the other day, when
talking to a statesman of the old school,
who was lamenting the progress OF So
cialism, land this conviction rensers the
outward semblance of Conservatism
o and more difficult to maintain. I"
This feeling on the part of his royal
highness, combined with the necessity OF
upholding tho old institutions at court,
must have rendered the princes position
irksome at times Report declares that
he has for many seasons been using every
endeavor to establish discipline among
the ladies and gentlemen of the court
circle by Observance of the strict rules of
etiquette established in the early part of
the present reign.
During the long retirement of her
majesty after the great affiction which
befell her, the discipline she had estab-
lished grew somewhat relaxed, and vari-
GUS court scandals served to point the
moral and adorn the tale of the stump
orators and brawling demagogues, who
remained unmolested in their attacks,
until it became difficult to put them
down. The Prince Of Wales was only
awakened TO the necessity of assuming
the responsibility of his position by his
own name being unjustly compromised,
and he hen resolved to restore the dig
nifty of the court, which had been suf-
fered TO become n prey to the ISLANDERS of
the Socialistic party. He has been for
some time pursuing his task, not of re-
storing, but modifying, the severity of
the ancient costumes, 80 rs to render
them tolerable both to the courtiers of
the past and those of today. The idea of
dispensing with the bare necks and
naked shoulders of the ladies f~requenting
her majesty's drawing room seems to be
the first step in this direction, and, 1t Is
said, emanates from the prince himself,
who, being present at q court reception
at Vienna, was struck with the dignity
and propriety of the dresses Of the ladies.
Tho queen was much averse to the
change; but the Princess of Wales urged
1t SO earnestly that her majesty has
yielded at length.-Boston Herald.

Oysters In Antiquity.

Raw oysters were eaten at Athens and
Rome as n p~rcprandial whet. The Ro-
mans coated their oysters with honey,
and kept them until they were slightly
putrid. The simple and clumsy methods
of Apicius. the third celebrated glutton
of the name, for preserving oysters, was
to wash them in vinegar and pack them
in vessels coated with pitch. The oysters
thus prepared and sent from Britain to
the Emperor Trajan, when in Parthia,
wcrc considered fresh" and have been
sufficient TO cntitle this mans name to be
handed down through twenty centuries.
If he is 20 be deemed famous in direct
proportion to tho nastiness of his inven-
ton, he should be famous indeed. Bril-
lat Savarin's p%reprandial whet consisted
of three or four dozen oysters. Sieur
Laperte. whom he used TO entertain tete-
a-tete at dinner, is said to have com
planned because he could not get his fill
of oysters. Savarin determined to give
him satisfaction in this respect, and let
him go TO his thirty-second dozen, when
Laperte turned his attention to the din
ner with powers unembarrassed by his
prelude.-American Analyst,

A curious Study of human Habit.

Why do theatre goers prefer seats on
the right of the house? When you are
on the street on which side Of the walk
do you keep On the right, don't you?
OF course you do; and you look to the
left, eh? If you don't you are different
from every one else. Well, you walk to
the right and you look to the left.
Twenty-Five or thirty years Of this sort
of thing naturally gets one accustomed
to it. Now, when you sit for two hours
and q half or three hours in one position,
IL you have to keep your eyes to the
right, you will find that 1t tires the
muscles of the eyes quite perceptibly.-

A gentleman once said, in Yelling
toms presence, that great memories are
generally the sign of great talents, and
instanced Napoleon, who could single
out soldiers in reviews and call them by
name TO step out Of the ranks.
"That is n great mistake" replied the
duke. "Ill tell you how he managed 1t.
One of his generals, Lobau, used to get
ready for him a list Of soldiers to be
called out from each regiment. When
Napoleon rode up opposite to a regiment
no would call out the name of the soldier
TO be honored, and the man would step
forward-that was all.
81 also doubt the goodness of his mem
ory," continued the duke, ''from the
looseness n inaccuracy of his state
ments. In his works. mean all that
he has ever written-you never find n
thing related precisely as it happened.
He seems to have no clear nor distinct
recollection; scarcely once has he ever
tripped into truth"
In another conversation Wellington
said that Napoleon's genius made him so
pre-eminent that all of his marshals
seemed inferior TO him. "He suited q
French army exactly, and ut their head
there never was anything like him. 1
used to say of him that his presence on
the field made the difference of forty
thousand men,"
The devotion of the French army to
Napoleon is illustrated by the fact that
several of the French prisoners wound
ed at Waterloo shouted during the agony
of amputation, ''Vive rEmpereurr'-

Within the memory of men still living,
it was not a difficult task for a lawyer in
active practice to familiarize himself
with all tho leading American decisions.
How is it now? Unless his memory is
abnormally developed he cannot retain
the names of the reports, even, much less
their contents. In this multitude of au-
thorities, both luminous and fuliginous,
no proposition, however absurd, is re-
quircd to stand with apparent support.
The lawyer of the present, instead Of
basing his judgment upon broad. general
principles of right, is apt to spend his
time and waste his faculties In delving

The Medical News has an article upon
resuscitation after death which, If extern
sively read by the laity, is sure to occa-
sion doubt and anxiety in the minds of
many persons. After showing that two
kinds of death-somatic and cellular
take place before life has completely
faded from the body to be recalled, the
article points out the importance of
physicians properly distinguishing be-
tween the two and renewing or abandon
ing their efforts at resuscitation as cir
cumstances direct. Somatic death may
be briefly described as the failure Of the
main organs of the body, the brain, heart
and lungs, to perform their functions,
while cellular death is where the cells or
tissues of the body die. Both may occur
at the same time, but, the writer urges,
the former may take place without the
latter, and often does, and in all such
cases there is a chance Of resuscitating
the dead person until cellular death SUI
pervenes.
Authentic instances of such resuscita-
tation are ~given-among others, the case
of a man whose body remained at the
bottom of q shallow stream for fully half
an hour before it was taken out. He was
resuscitated after several hours of unre-
hitting labor. But q moro remarkable
case was that vouched for by Professor
Armor. A friend of his died from In
dian hemp poisoning. The physician
racked his brain for more than an hour
for some means Of restoring his friend to
life while he lay dead In his presence,
and at length called to his aid n sturdy
negro. They worked manrully for four
hours. During all that time there was
not the slightest sign of life, but at its
expiration o slight movement of the lips
was detected, and the stethoscope dis
closed ian occasional light, mufled
sound over the heart" Their efforts
were doubled, with the result that respi-
ration and circulation were very slowly
r~e-established and consciousness returned
after many hours. The man lived for
many years afterward-indeed, up to a
few years ago, and was a prominent New
England banker.-New Orleans Plea

1t has been remarked that dogs turn
around several times before lying down.
The habit is supposed to point to the time
in canine history when the dog was wild
and inhabited jungles or tall grass. Then
it was necessary to turn several times In
order TO twist the grass into the proper
position for pressing down into n COM
Portable nest. The habit became fixed
and the modern dog has moi outgrown
it.-Kansas City Journal.
