A Funny Elephant.

Coming across the ocean on the Fur
nessia, some of Barnum's elephants
played good many pranks. One of
them called Hat was especially mis-
chievous. Next to his box was that of
the gentle giraffe, in whose rations wero
included peck of carrots, q vegetable
of which Hat was extremely fond. Day
alter day he made futile attempts to rob
the giraffe when the keeper wasn't look
ing, but met with constant failure. One
afternoon Hats temper gave way, and
coiling his trunk about the giraffe's
neck he gave a long pull, q strong pull,
and pull altogether. Had bis victim
had less elastic neck his career
would have ended then and
there, but it slowly stretched
until crowd of keepers had
stuck enough pitchforks into Hat to in
iuce him to let 60. He did so regret
fully. Half an hour later his little red
eyes espied wire running along the
beams above his box, and reaching forth
his trunk he gently pulled it. 1t gave.
Then he pulled it a number of times.
The vessel stopped and began to 60
backward at full speed. Down from the
deck above floated vague sounds of pro-
family, and then an officer popped
through the Latchway and caught Hat
still engaged in ringing up signals in the
engine room, with which the wire con-
ne,ted. The poking and prodding that
he received rather crushed his playful
spiri. for the remainder OF the voyage.

Horses for Beef Tea.
From the / ondan Lancet.


Some features of the traffic in meat are
indeed remarkable, as the following in
cident shows: A few days ago an omni-
bus conductor was imprisoned for over
driving two aged and exhausted horses,
which he had purchased for next to
nothing. In the defense it came out
that these WORKOUT animals were not
sold with q view to further work, but,
according to their former owner, for an
other purpose. They were intended to
furnish beef for the manufacture Of sau-
sages and beef tea. Comical though the
statement may seem, it is one which, If
reliable, opens up q somewhat serious
question. The flesh of old, over-driven,
and not too highly-fed borses must

eased, it's hbernous toughness
and scant proportion Of sound muscular

food. Its use in the making OF sausages,
and, above all, of beef tea for invalids.
is an evident absurdity. To pass it off
as beef is deliberate i'm posture which

/ lie. The continuance of 50 disgraceful
q practice will therefore depend solely
on the success of efforts at evasion, and
its best remedy must obviously be found
in closer attention on the part OF inspect
o1s, and in subjecting deliuquents, when
, convicted, to such penalties as will rem
der their conduct Improbable.
