Whipping an Elephant,

An illustration of an elephants
violence and contrition is given by
General George Bell in his "Rough
Notes Of an Old Soldier" written
while he was serving in India.
While the party was in camp, a
mahout went with his elephant to
cut forage, The mahout punished
the beast for disobedience by a blow
on the shins, which so enraged the
elephant that he seized the man with
his trunk, dashed him to the ground,
and trampled him to death.
No sooner had he killed his keeper
than he repented, roared, and bolted
for the jungle to hide himself. Six
other elephants guided by their ma
houts, followed him. On being driv.
en- into corner, he surrendered and
was led into camp a prisoner, and
chains were placed on his legs.
Then came his punishment. Ar
elephant was placed on either side
each holding a heavy iron chain. As
the dead body of the mahout was
laid on the grass before him, the
elephant roared loudly, being per,
fectly aware of what he had done.
A mahout ordered the two eIe
plants to punish the murderer
Lifting the two heavy chains high il
the air with their trunks, they whip
ped him with these iron whips unit
he made the camp echo with hi
roars Of pain. He was then picketet
by himself, and an iron chain attach
ed to his hind leg, which he dragged
after him on the march.

ments, fine carriages and fast horses.
We have always had enough to eat
and wear; no famine has yet pre-
vailed in the United States; then
why cry hard times?
The chief cause of hard times is
debt-one of the greatest curses in the
world. To keep out of debt means
good times. To run in debt, to mort
gage your farm, means sooner or later
no home of your own. If you wish
to see hard times and poverty, go to
the city and there you will find some-
thing you never knew anything of
before-people out OF work, people
who do not know where the next
meal is coming from. While prices
are low, make your expenses less.
But don't make money your god /;
live comfortably if you can if crops
are low, farm better; use more man.
ure, raise larger crops. There may
be something raised on your farm in
which there is money. Try to get
taxes lower, and if necessary form a
trust; fix your own prices on farm
products, the same as manufacturers
do agricultural implements.
Many think that the day for farm
ers' making a decent living is past,
But think that the best times are yet
to come. Last spring, how was it:
There was a drouth-farmers said
there would be no wheat, no corn OF
hay. What came? Rain, and farm
ers had the largest crops they have
had for years. So l believe that those
who keep out of debt will come out
all right yet, and that there are better
times coming for farmers. One great
trouble now is that there are so many
farms which are only half farmed. l
farmers had to buy everything they
can raise on the farm, same as city
people, or go without them, ther
they might cry hard times.
1t is a good plan for every farmer
to keep an account of his expenses
and everything sold, and see how
much they make each year, and try
each year to make more. | doubt i
one farmer in ten can tell how mucl
he makes per year. Don't forget
however, to include everything yor
use from the farm for your family
the same as if you had them to buy
If we succeed we must keep up cour

THE TARIFF.
How it Looks to the Canadian Farmer,

A protective tariff is essentially
selfish, but we justify it because we
believe that selfishness may be some
times justifable, that it may be
right under some circumstances to
look out for No. /. Every man
would protect his own family first
and even at the expense of his neigh
bors; he would help his own town
more than an adjoining one, the same
with his own state and nation. But
this prudential selfishness often bears
with some severity on the neighbor
who is unable to get the benefit of it.
The feeling of many Canadian farm
ers just now is illustrated by the fol-
lowing which we clip from the Prince
Edward Island Farmer:
Among the good things contained
in Grip of the 18th inst, is cartoon
showing a high stone wall in the
background with massive iron doors,
above which are the significant let
tiers U. S., while across those doors,
which are closed tight, is a placard
stating that they are "closed by order
Of Mckinley" Near these doors az,
pears a Canadian farmer who has
just driven up with a team and a
load of the produceof Canada. Above
the load there sits behind the farmer
his wife who has on her arms two
baskets of eggs. In the immediate
foreground of the picture is seen Sin
John!McDOnald with his back partly
turned to the farmer. The latter il
his dilemma at seeing the CLOSED
doors, has just hailed Sir John will
the pertinent question: "Say, boss
could you show me the way to thu
home market?" 1t is needless Il
say that the expression on the chief
tain's face is a study. He stands
with his own hand upon his lip
completely stuck for an answer. TIL,
scene is a most graphic one, ant
speaks volumes on the political situa
ton.

Hard Times Then and Now.
Cor. Country Gentleman.

Cor. Country Gentleman.
The great cry today among farmers
is hard times. 1 will admit that
times are dull and prices of produce
low. But so or 100 years ago, when
the first settlers had to clear off a piece
Of timber to get little dab of crops
planted; when they built rough log
cabins; went to mill on horseback
with corn, perhaps % miles had not
much money; worked hard, without
the help of moving machines, reap>
ers, riding plows, and improved ma
chinery of all kinds, in short, had not
the thousand privileges we enjoy.
Then hard times existed in reality ;
yet dare say the people of those
days with their simple living, log
cabins, rough roads, no carriages or
fast horses, enjoyed themselves far

A Novel Method of Collecting Taxes

Almost the first difficulties that be-
set a people trying to govern for
themselves is the question of revenue.
Where is the money to come from ?
Taxes, the bugbear of all nations, also
puzzle the Swiss. His method in
raising them in some of the cantons
is alike interesting and novel, and is
described as follows in Harper's
Magazine for November:
No official assessment is made of
property. Blanks are distributed to
every house to be filled in by its occu-
pants. The system is known as the
progressive" tax scale. A, who
owns $4,000 worth of property, pays
taxes on eight-tenths of it; while G,
with his 100000 worth of property,
pays taxes on the whole. The result
is that G pays not the proportional
twenty-five times the amount of AS
taxes, but fifty times as much. The
income tax is managed after similar
fashion. The rich pay out of all pro-
portion to the poorer classes. They
probably would not change places
with the poor, however, even to save
what they decry as unjust taxation,
The plan is not always popular one.
Leaving every man to assess himself
has the disadvantage that the rich,
with stocks and bonds, sometimes do
not make return of them. When a
rich Swiss dies, however, the govern
ment control of his estate quickly
makes amends for all past misdeeds
in the way of assessments, and every
penney of taxes held back is now de.

terest and fines.

AFTERNOON GAME.
There was probably a greater amount OF en-
thuslasm shown IN the afternoon game between
the New York and Pittsburgh Up. L. teams
than in any game that has been played at
Brotherhood Park since the opening event Of
the season. This was owing to the magnil-
cent display Of batting and the brilliancy Of
some bits OF fielding.
Manager Ewing. who has been a sufferer
from severe pains In the right side and shout
der for couple Of days past was obliged to
lay of. and this caused the original playing
programme 10 De changed. Crane and Vaughn
being substituted for the Ewing battery.
Crane far excelled his efforts in tho first game
against the Smoky City men on Thursday
when he gave ten even bases on balls and had
three wild pitches. In this instance but one
man hit him effectively and that was Fields.
He made four cafe hits In as many times at the
bat and scored two home runs. For six in
nings Field; was the only player who scored a
hit forpttsburgh IN the $oiloying inning:
w for triple and three singles. and with the
assistance Of q base on balls. o miss fly by
Gore, passed bail. and wild throw OF

earned. Crane was relieved by Ewing in the
eighth inning: He started of by striking
Calvin, and then Hanlon and Visner were
handily retired The errors OF the New Yorks
were in every instance unfortunate;
freely. Crane hitting him three times out Of
four, including couple OF three baRgers. The
