AN ELEPHANTS rather huge and un-
wieldly animal to go walking about in
his sleep. A circus elephant on board
train going from Pittsburg to Johns
town the other night developed into a
successful somnambulist. While in a
deep slumber, and dreaming, perhaps,
that he was in old Africa taking a
walk through favorite Jungle, he
made couple of laps around his car,
and then walked out of the side door.
Sleep, sleep even of the balmiest de-
scription, is likely to be interrupted by
such an incident, and the elephant had
no sooner struck the ground than he
was wide awake. Like Patti, in "Son-
nambula," he asked with bewildered
look, "Where am I" and then finding
himself but little hurt, he began to pa
troll back and forth on the track, where
few hours later he was found by his
keepers. The next time he travels at
night he will probably take sleeper
and tip the porter to look out for him if
he walks in his sleep.

The famous st. Bernard dogs are
very carefully trained. A traveller
who visited some of the monasteries OF
the monks of st. Bernard a few years
ago found the monks teaching their
dogs from the earliest stages of puppy
hood. Not only is physical and mental
training included in the teaching, but
spiritual culture is by no means neg
lected. At meal time the dogs sit in a
row, each with a tin dish before him
containing his repast. Grace is said by
one Of the monks; the dogs sit motion
less with bowed heads. Not one stirs
until the "amen' is spoken. If a frisky
puppy partakes Of his meal before grace
is over an older dog growls and gently
tugs his ear.

A WESTERN lawyer who often ad-
dresses himself to individual members
of the juries he confronts, once ap-
peared for the plaintiff in suit for
damages brought against street rail
road company. He made a most elo-
quent appeal, but was unable to hold
the attention of one of the jurors, who
appeared to be an old sailor. At last
he stopped directly in front of the
sailor, and addressing him alone said :
"Now, mate, Twill tell you how the ac-
cident happened, The plaintiff was in
command of an outward bound car,
and stood in her starboard channels.
An inward bound car came along,
and just as their bows met she jumped

knocked my client overheard, and ran

lively, and promptly joined in verdict
of five thousand dollars for tho plain

AN Indian of the Cheyenne Agency
had one of his legs injured, making
amputation necessary to save his life.
DIR. Daniel of the agency urged him to
have an operation performed, but the
noble red man thought he would cut a

would rather die. Arguments were un-
availing. The doctor then thought of
good scheme to gain his consent. He

PROF. w. PRESTON JOHNSTON SAYS
of General Lee when he was President
of the college: "I never saw him take
an ungraceful posture. No matter how
long or fatiguing a faculty meeting
might be, he always preserved an atti-
tude in which dignity, decorum and
grace were united. He was very well
built man, with rounded body and
limbs, and seemed, without the slight
est affectation or effort, to sit, or stand,
or walk just as gentleman should.
He was never in hurry, and all his
gestures were easy and significant. He
gave a minute attention to the details
of his Office, and liked to talk about
them. I soon perceived that he did not
like to discuss the event or incidents of
the war;"

joined as to resist the blows even of

posed of equal parts of sulphur and
white lead, with proportion of about
one-sixth of borax. When the compo-
sition is to be applied it is wet with
strong sulphuric acid, and thin layer
of it is placed between the two pieces
of iron, which are at once pressed to-

WOMEN who have no business expert
ence are apt to have very vague ideas
Of money. For instance, they never
appreciate the value of check until it
is cashed. 1t does not seem like money
to them, and I feel certain that if the
average woman were offered her choice
between five hundred dollars in notes
and one thousand dollars in check,
and both were before her, and she had
no time to think it out much, she would
chose the five hundred dollars, and
conclude she had the best of the bar
gain. There is no exaggeration in the
story of a woman who, on hearing some-
body say that a diamond cost fifteen
hundred dollars, asserted: @Oh, no; I
am sure that it cost more than that. I
! am sure it was something over
thousand!"

for I was guarding that tent all night
long in the cold and wet on picket.
And now I just want to say to all of
you who were generals in the war
and slept at nights in your guarded
tents like Gen. Tucker, you vote for
him. But all you fellows that guarded
the generals tents in the wet and cold
like me, you vote for Private Allen. !"
OF course Private Allen was triumph

honors.
