ELEPHANTS MEMORY.
One of the Big Animals Gratefully

One of the Big Animals Gratefully
Remembers a Humane Druggist.
An elephant attached to womwelrS
men0gerie was treated in Gloucestershire
bv a Druggist for internal spasm, says the
Globe- Democrat of st. Louis.
The animal recovered and duly de-
parted from the town. This was in 1870.
But in 1879. hen the druggist stood at
his shop door TO watch the menagerie
again enter the town, the elephant
crossed the street. advanced to the mau
of drugs, placed her trunk in his hand
and grunted aereeably to show her re-
memhrance of past kindness.
At night in visiting the m%enngerie the
elcp' ant drew the druggists attention TO
her side. to which blister had been APP
plled nine years before.
IN 1881 he elephant again entered the
town. Recognizing her chemist friend in
the audience she ! fled MIN gently OF his
ieet by means of her trunk and drew his
attention to Que of her forelegs,
The keeper explained that the limb had
been lanced by n veterinary surgeon, and
that apparently she was comparing notes
Of the difference between the pentler
blister of her friend and the procedure of
the surgeon.

Cow and Pig Make rr,end..

A peculiar case of brute attachment
came under the notice Of Miss Freddie
Lehman not long since. A little stray
pig about as big as bar Of soap. that
had become lost from its mother, took
up Tith one Of Miss Lehman's milch
COWS, and the cow and the pig became
wonderfully attached to each other.
The pig suckled the COW as II she were
its own mother, and the cow fondled the
pig as II 1t were her own calf. Neither
could be separated from the other, and
they seemed perfectly miserable when
apart for only few moments. The lit
tie pig foraged for tho COW, and would
often slip in the stable whore the horses
were feeding and, stealing their proven
der, carry 1t out to its adopted mother;
and the COW would swing to any morsel
it knew the pig would like, and carry 1t
to her little foster child. The two
formed themselves into society for
mutual protection and aggrandizement,
and they prospered and grew fat in their
happiness. But dark day came. Mr..
Piggie grew up and got fat, and Miss
Lehman sold IL to the butcher. The COW
Immediately began to pine, and lost her
appetite. And the COW still continues
TO mourn her loss, and her eyes wear
peculiar sad and pathetic expression

GERMAN PROFESSORS.
They Are Amazingly Profound But Dry as
Sahara Desert Sand.

The reputation of German scholars
for thoroughness and patient, laborious
research is proverbial, and no one who
is we'll informed doubts that Germany
has more professors who are authorities
in the different departments of knowl-
edge than any other country, but it does
not always follow that the most learned
men are the best teachers, and until a
student has reached an advanced stage
he will often get better instruction from
teacher shade less proficient and
more practical. Some of these profess
sors are attractive and eloquent lec-
turers, some are quite the reverse, and
for dry, tedious, untintelligible, utter
ly dispiriting lecture commend me to
German professor who speaks fourteen
Oriental languages and can't tell hawk
from hand-saw. 1t is well to speak of
the lore that is to be acquired in the
cloistered shades of these ancient uni
versities, but let the student once enter
dingy, poorly-lighted, chilly room
some winter evening at five O'clock and
listen to a professor, who for half an
hour, with mumbling, indistinct articu.
lation and double-tracked, suspension
bridge sentences, explains the theory of
abnormal Latin roots OF the third con-
jugation, and, like Bob Acres, he will
man students are more thorough than
American because it lies in their nature
to undertake less and do it better. A
German is like locomotive, a powerful
machine as long as it is on tho track,
but perfectly helpless whom once off,
while an American will either founder
back or find another track. Some of the
Germans are prodigious scholars, and
seem to have laid the whole kingdom of
learning under tribute, but for general
intelligence, practical faculty and
knowledge of current events 1 think
American students are superior. I'm
less one can read German fuently and
understands it when spoken, the first
year after coming abroad will have to
be largely devoted to learning the Ian
guage. The marked superiority of Ger
many is in the professional departments
of law and medicine. With us a Young
man who has not ever a decent common
school education, takes two short terms
of five months each In medicine, and is
let loose on tho community as a doctor
An Office boy OF equally brilliant ac-
o quirements dusts out lawyers Office
and does errands, takes two terms in a
night law school, and is shortly ad-
mitted to practice. such an open dis
grace to both professions is not tolerated
here. A doctor or lawyer here has
spent several years In elementary
schools, four years in college, and from
four to fl I'VE years in professional study.
y he Is not u gentleman and scholar
he has at least had chance to be, and
lis actual requirements and preparation
for his work are far superior to those OF
tho young professional man IN America.
