the neck We closed up and sought to
drive them back, but they had become
frightened, and the job was too great
for US. They broke of to the right
and left the cover of the woods for
the open plain, and we felt some
anxiety as we saw that they held a
straight course. for our camp The
three of us who were mounted pur-
sued at gallop, and we were Wit
nasses of q curious incident. The
troop were headed for the grove in
which we had encamped, and were
about half mile away, when our
captive rogue uttered three or four
shrill blasts and suddenly appeared in
sight, having broken the rope which
held him to a,tree. He made straight
for the troop, challenging as he came.
and the beasts no sooner saw him
than they exhibited fear and con
fusion. They halted. turned to the
right and the>left. and were all mixed
up when the old chap came down upon
them like landslide. The first one
he struck was half-grown elephant.
and he knocked him fiat on the grass
and rolled him over and over. Then
he sailed in to clean out the shanty.
and the blows from his trunk could be
heard mile away.
Such a cloud of dust was kicked up
that we soon lost sight of particulars.
but in few minutes the troop bolted
off at right angles and soon entered
grove, and we drew near to find the
old rogue standing over the one he
had rolled over. He seemed to be
waiting for us to come up, and after
little the native who had most to do
with him ventured close up. l rode
off and got rope. and this was made
fast to the captive's legs and he was
encouraged to get on his feet Thor
the old chap steered him straight foi
Emp while we followed, holding tt
the ropes Once Or twice the kid
howed disposition to bolt, but tn,
big one gave him resounding whack
with his trunk and curbed his am
bition. We made him fast to tree,
and the rogue" then took his old
place without hint being given him
and was refastened.
1t was next morning before We
could examine our pits, and then we
found another captive. A big bull
1,phant was lying on his side in one
Of them. while the other mad been
avoided. We got him out of the pit
by digging around him. and then using
block and tackle to lift him to his
FEET. He had been three days withou'
food or drink when we got him out,
and his spirit was pretty well broken.
Our three captives were got down t.
the coast without the least trouble,
and our luck in making three such
captures in the short space of twenty
days has never been equaled by
menagerie men in any hand. The Old
rogue" who set out to annihilate us
brought all our good luck. N Y. Sun.

.yhot he Needs -What !. needed

What he Needs What is needed TO
help the average dairyman is the infor-
nation how to improve the herds already
in his hands. He needs to be taught to
teach. each COW separately, both.for guam
tity and quality, and to have the nerve to
dispose of the non-paving ones, while
building ON those which turn him profit.
He needs to know that like produces like
in the animals az well as in the vegetable
world that good. animals produce good
offspring, and poor ones as certainly
bring forth poor progeny; that the male
is half the herd in breeding, and that he
cannot expect to improve his herd with
cut good sire; that although a grade
male may be better than a scrub, a pure
bred male is better than either; that the
greater and more rapid improvement
which he produces makes him cheaper
in the end at good round price than
either the scrub or the grade as gift,
and that it is only by wedding out poor
COWS and breeding from his best ones,
a pure blood male OF individual excellence
and good pedigree, that he can in. a few
wears bring his herd up to an average
yield OF 800 poundsof butter per COW.

THE DEADLY PIANO.
An Emphatic PrOte It Addressed to Parents
and Instructors.

An Emphatic Prote It Addressed to Parents
and Instructors.
Prof. Waetzoldt, Director of the
Royal Elizabeth School. in Berlin, has
lately entertained a much-needed pro-
test against the way in which young
girls who are not known to possess any
musical ability are forced by their
parents and preceptors to spend con-
secutive hours practicing at the piano,
to their own great physical detriment
and the torture of persons who are
obliged to hear them. In Prof. Waet-
zoldts opinion, no girl should ever be
set to work at the piano-forte before
she has reached her twelfth year, and
it is to that instrument injudiciously
used in childhood that much of the
weakness and nervousness of women in
after years may be attributed. More
over, the Professor very sensibly says
that the piano should never be studied
except by perfectly healthy girls who
show marked adaptability for the in
strument. Alter years of labor with an
instrument for which she is not spe-
cially fitted. not one girl in ten is found
able to give pleasure to the listener.
The most that she will have succeeded
in acquiring is a certain automatic skill
(which not only bears no relation to
artistic execution, but is even destruc-
tive OF the capacity for genuine musical
expression" He adds the obvious re-
mark that lit is neither necessary nor
desirable that we should have medic
ere or bad pianists. but it is necessary
that our girls should remain fresh and
healthy in body and mind
DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes says that
many a tragedy which might have been
worked out in actual life has been ham,
mered out on the keys of a piano-fOrte.
and likely enough there is a good deal
OF DIR. Holmes sound sense and shrewd-
ness shown in this observation. But ii
is also true that pianos themselves
have been the causes of tragedies that
ought never to have been acted any
where. Besides this, girls are per-
mitted, and often obliged, to throw
away an enormous amount of valuable
time in drumming out Emusic" that
would be disgrace to the most aban-
dOned variety of human nature, and in
attempting to conquer compositions to
the proper rendering OF which they
would never become adequate, no mat
ter how much they might study them.

The fac-simile telegraph, by which
manuscript, maps or pictures may be
transmitted. is species of the auto
matte methods already described. in
which the receiver is actuated syn
enormously with its transmitter. BY
Lenoir's method picture or map is
outlined with insulating ink upon the
cylindrical surface of rotating drum,
which revolves under point having a
slow movement along tho axis of the
cylinder, and thus the conducting
point goes over the cylindrical sur
face in spiral path. The electric
circuit will be broken by every ink
mark on the cylinder which is in this
path and thereby corresponding marks
are made in spiral line by an ink
marker upon a drum at the receiving
end. To produce these outlines it is
only necessary that the two drums be
rotated in unison. This system is of
little utility, there being no apparent
demand for fac-simile transmission.

speed. for it will be seen that instead
