will Writing Become Lost Art !!

Will the coming man write Not at
all. There will be no more need of his
learning to spin. Writing will haye be-
come one of the lost arts, and a wholly
unnecessary art, by the time the coming
man appears. His writing will be
done by the phonograph, which will be
placed on his desk as pens and ink are
now ; and whenever he has a story. a
poem. an essay, or privtae letter to
indite he will simply talk into the
ptonograph and send on the plate which
has recorded his words. The teaching
of penmanship will be unknown in the
school OF the future, and writing
in the present fashion, will be regard
as much among barbaric methods
as We now hold the rude hierogly phics
Of the ancients to be.

Elephants Feet.

The operation Of trimming the feet
OF circus elephants has to be performed
three times u year-once on the road,
once in the fall and again in the spring.
The sole OF the elephants foot is
heavily covered with a thick, horny
substance Of material similar 20 the toe.
nail, and as it grows thicker and thick
er, II tends to contract and crack, often
laming the animal. When the trimming
is undertaken, the elephant stands on
three feet and the foot to be operated
upon across q big Tub. Two men hold
the leg down, and one stands at the anS
imsl's head to prevent him from turn
ing. Then the chief operator, with a
two-foot drawiDgknife, proceeds to
shave off great pieces of horn from the
sole Of the foot. Shavings OF horn six
inches by four and a quarter Of an inch
thick are rapidly cut, the edges Of the
foot being carefully trimmed. Often
pieces OF glass, wire. nails, ETC., which
have been picked up during street par.
AIDES are found EMBEDDED in the foot.
Sometimes these irritating objects work
up into the legs and produce fostering
sore.
When the feet of the elephant Pallas
were trimmed, at Bridgeport, some
time ago large nail was found EN-
bedded In the foot, over three inches
from the bottom. It was pulled out,
and the wound syringed with warm
water and covered with tar. Pallas
apparently suffered great pain, but
seemed to know tha. the operation
would give relief. He held the foot
high and quietly of his own accord un-
til all we're finished, then flourished
his trunk. and expressed almost in
words his sincere thanks.
After paTing the foot, each toe-nail Is
cut between and led down, giving each
foot white, clean look with its settings
OF polished nails. 1t takes six hours e
finish dressing an elephants feet and il
is said TO be one of the hardest bits OF
work the men have to do.

GOOD RULES FoR TEACHERS

Don't forget the lessons of last years ex-
perience.
Don't become discouraged. Be satisfied
with small results, il they are sure.
Don't fail to learn us soon as possible in
what direction your class need to work, and
just where they need to begin.
Don't fail to do everything in your power
to work in harmony with your principle and
the other teachers in the b,liding.
Don't get order in the schoolroom at the
expense of growth. Have order, not by all
means, but by the best means only.
Don't let the year pass without reading
some good books on education. Learn more
Of the work of the foundation builders.
Don't omit the visiting day. See other
teachers at work. Be sympathetic in your
criticisms. Go for help, not for self satis-
faction.
Don't allow yourself to become fretful or
anxious or worried over your work. Be Sc
rene. Use your powers to the best advantage,
and teach the children to do the same.
Don't teach any lesson without knowing
why you teach it, and what you hope to ac-
conplish by it. Have a purpose in every
lesson, as well as in every series of lessons.
Don't think that inattention is small mat
ter. Stop work when you fail to hold the at
tention of your class. Study the art of Sc
curing the habit of attention. and see that
every lesson tends to strengthen that habit in
your pupils Sarah l.. Arnold in journal OF

FREAKS OF NATURE.

In R. j. Kettlewel's garden at ST. Helena,
Ore, is pumpkin vine which has twined
around an olive tree and grown to a height
of about fifteen feet Near the top are two
large pumpkins, and Mr.. Kettlewell has had
to have boxes erected ON poles to let them lie
in to keep them from breaking the limbs of
the tree.
A few days ago T. II. Adams, of Clarks-
vile, Ca, cut a perfectly sound, fresh-looll-
ing muskmelon he had just received from
Banks county, and upon examination it was
found that a number of the seeds had sprout-
ed and had roots nearlySin inch long. The
melon was perfectly sound and the flesh firm
and nice.
A hard maple tree in S. G. Scotts yard at
Plainwell, Mich, is an object of great curios-
ity II is just now shedding its foliage. Soon
new leaves will appear, and after the fall
frosts it will again denude itself Of leaves.
This it has done regularly for several seasons.
The tree differs only in shedding its leaves
twice a year from other naples standing
within few feet of it.
The discovery of the curious ice cave In
Ashley valley, in tie Rocky Mountains, con-
tinues 10 attract attention. Tom Mitchell,
who has just returned to Salt Lake City from
there, says that In the latter part of August
he found in the cave a section of ice 25 feet
high and 80 feet thick at the base. A small
lake was also discovered. One of the rooms
in the cave was over 200 feet long.
