ON AN ELEPHA Mt.
How Tt Feels to Ride the Monster for the
First Time.

Having had the good fortune to be in
vited by the maharajah, Biz Shamsir,
prime minister and guardian to the young
king of Nepal, we leave Calcutta early in
December to join his shooting party, says
a writer in the Nineteenth Century After
a couple of comfortable nights in the train
we reach a small terminus, from which a
five-mile ride on an elephant lands us in
what is known as the Nepal-terai. The
elephant on which we ride is a small one,
and is supposed to shake the rider as little
as possible, but to us novices the shaking
is far from being gentle one. At a word
from his ''mahout "a wild-looking crea-
ture who sits between the elephant S ears
and pricks him with an iron staff-he goes
down on his knees and one climbs on his
back as best he can holding ON by his tail
with both hands and trying to get foot
ing on his slippery quarters. At last one
manages to scramble up and one finds
ones self on a square cushion almost as
slippery as the elephant back. The first
time when the great beast rises on his fore
legs, then on his hind ones, it is all one
can do to hold on by the ropes which are
fastened to the sides of the pad; but prac
tice makes perfect and In a short time one
learns to adapt ones self to the curious
motion. A good small elephant will shut
file along easily at the rate of five miles an
hour, climbing steep rayines and other OBJ
structions, 50 that the rider often finds
himself hanging on in an almost perpen-
dicular position No animal is so sure
footed as an elephant He will climb steep
banks and slide down into river-beds with
as much ease as an Irish pony, but particu-
larly objects to bog, and let no one at
tempt to ride him over one; if he finds him
self sinking in his first impulse is to drag
the rider off and put him under his feet,
by way of having something to stand
on-a proceeding one would hardly approve

Scenes in Old Jerusa1e1
st-Dispatch.

Sitting as am upon the site of King
David's palace, see the whole city spread
out below me- What a curious city it Is E!
In my tour Of the world I have found no
place so full Of strange sights, of pictur-
esque characters, and so different in every
particular from every other part Of the
world. Aside from its wonderfully inter
esting historical associations. Jerusalem
to-day is city of itself Forty thousand
people are packed within its narrow walls,
and it looks more like a great honeycomb
than a city. The houses are piled one upon
another in all sorts of irregularities, and if

How to Dry an Umbrella.
Mems Outftter.

Umbrellas should be placed handle down
ward to dry. The moisture falls from the
edges of the frame and the fabric dries
uniformly. If stood handle upward, as is
commonly the case, the top of the UNI
brella holds the moisture, owing to the
lining underneath the ring, and it takes a
long time to dry, thereby injuring the silk
or other fabric with which it is covered.
This is the main cause of the umbrella
wearing out so soon at the top. Umbrella
cases are responsible for the wear of the
silk. The constant friction causes tiny
holes to appear so provokingly early.
When not in use the umbrella should be
left loose, and when wet left loose to dry.
Christine Nilsson writes to Figaro to say
that she is not suffering from deafness or
loss of memory.

Through Siberia.

No one can thoroughly understand the
meaning of the word ''monotony' whohas
not visited Siberia, and travelled for hour
after hour, day after day. week after week
along It's dark pinegirt roads. Along the
the whole of the postroad from Irloutsk
distances are marked by wooden posts,
painted black and white, placed at every
verst, while at every post station large
board indicates the distance from the
chief towns. My heart sank whenever |
looked at these and saw the word Peters
burg, with the appalling number of
naughts under it. The few versts from
station to station were bad enough, but
when it came to the six thousand-odd
separating US from Petersburg one almost
gave up all hope of ever seeing Europe
again. x 3 x | have never, even in the
depths of a Bornean forest, felt so utterly
lonely and cut off from the rest of the civ
lllzed world as when crossing Siberia.
Everything after the first week
became mechanical. Drinking tea at the
stations, going to sleep at a moment no
tlce, If there were no horses, Harvesting
them at once If there were, and returning
to the depths of our gloomy vehicle, there
to lie hour after hour. day after day, with
nothing to look at but the black road and
eternal pine forests, nothing to think of
save fair, civilized Europe, so far away,
but to which one felt, with a kind of
gloomy satisfaction, every jingle of collar
bells was bringing US nearer. Even the
scenery does not atone for all these draw
backs. The Siberian forests are not grand.
but the trees have dwarfsh look produced
by the immense plains. Not bird, not a
sound, is heard in these soltitudes. and
when the horses stop the bells are silent,
and the stiffness becomes almost oppres-
sive.
