figures are probably near being right,

There are three wheels In the time

About Hungry Eiephants-A Brush with n
Itear--Other Interesting Items
and Matters


One favorite food OF the African
elephant Is the tender, juicy roots of
the mimosa-tree. which grows in scat
tered groups through most of the
meadows and lowlands Of central
Africa.
When an elephant finds young
tree OF this sort, IL Is not difficult,
as rule, for him 10 get at the roots
especially II the surrounding soil is
moist and loose, as Is often the case
after it has been soaked by the heavy
rainfalls of the tropics.
III the tree is loose, the elephant,
knowing his strength. winds his trunk
firmly round the tree. and plucks IL
from the earth. IA feat which Is no
harder for him than the pulling up OF
flower is for child.
But the elephant does not stop mere;
experience has taught him the most
comfortable way of enjoying his prize,
so without relaxing his hold, he turns
the tree completely over, and stands
lt with its upper branches thrust down
into the place where the roots were.
Then the earthly roots, now replacing
the branches, remain within easy
reach OF the strong and deft trunk.
African travellers tell us Of great
tracts OF country almost covered with
these inverted trees. Seeing the dry
trees turned upside down one would be
more likely TO think wood had been
reversed by mischievous fairies, than
10 suppose hungry elephants had been
feeding there.
Sometimes an elephant will find n
tree which deiies his greatest efforts,
and absolutely refuses TO be uprooted.
But the elephant does not give IL up.
Not at ALL He either brings another
elephant TO help nina thing they
often do when the work Is too much
for one-or, If he cannot find II
friend. he sets his own wits 60 work.
He makes use OF his tusks as levers,
thrusting them, as II they were crow
bars, deep under the roots and prizes
away slowly and steadily until the tree
is loosened; and then with great
wrench he completely uproots IL and
IL goes topping over, leaving the
clever elephant victorious. --St. Mich

The Little rifer.

IL was In the winter of 1861, while
the federal army was in camp near
the city Of Richmond. that two Union
boys. whom will call Gay and Shaft.
(as their names have been forgotten)
for little sport, engaged in tussle.
Shaft had fife in his hand when the
unexpected Gay clinched him. To
better his condition for his scuflie.
Shaft tossed the flfe In the air 20 get
rid OF IL. for the time, whereupon n
gentleman by the name of Minnich
went forward and picked il up and
after Gay had concluded that Shaft
was the man that could scufiie little
better than himself, he quit. Mr..
Minnich stepped forward and offered
the fife TO Shaft. But instead OF TAX
ing IL. Shaft remarked:
Il do not care for IL; you may keep
It,"
home TO his nine-year-old son. For
six long weeks was this little boy try
ing TO play snatches OF national airs
which perhaps he had heard some
regimental corps play as they were
of for the front. BY the time the six
weeks were up he had learned TO play
fairly well that familiar and popular
air, Yankee Doodle
Upon Mr. Minnich's return home
at the close Of the war, his little lad
was able TO show his father upon the
fife that he had sent him. the pluck OF
a Yankee youth who had set out TO
win. Among many pieces that he
could master well was, The Johnnie

Minnich's heart with JOY. The hoy

this same identical fife with him,
which he always plays ON all occasions
Of this kind. He has since the war
played the requiem march at the burial

the fighting was very heavy all around

Sixth Corps. After pulling out OF

the enemy was close upon Us. be-

took was just In the rear OF the new
line where he witnessed what he de-
clares TO have been the grandest
charge and rout OF the enemy that he
saw In three years service.
Edwin Crockett. Goth N. Y. says at
Cedar Creek the Confederates came
very near the lines OF the Sixth Corps
in the thick fog OF the early morning.
The writer's regiment was in the Sec
ond Brigade. First Division. and
fought the rebels until they fell back.
but they were soon after thanked and
fell back In some confusion. reform
ing beyond the reach OF their fire.
Gen Wright gave them full credit
for driving back the Confederates.
but said that Col Mckenzie, the gal
liant commander OF the I'd Conn. H..
A., commanded the brigade, when II
was commanded by Col. Hamlin. OF
the 5Gth n. Y. Mckenzie was West
Pointer, but Hamlin was not. The
writer saw Hamlin's horse fall under
him. and Hamlin wounded by the fire
OF the fanked rebels. After Hamlin
was disabled Mckenzie took command
of the brigade. but most OF the hard
lighting had been done for the day.
The Goth lost one-third OF their num-

SOCIAL PRIVILEGES.

Don't be patronized. y
All social duties are reciprocal.
We become charitable by knowing
men.
Don't shrink from contact with any
thing but bad morals.
An unsocial man is as devoid OF influ-
enco as an ice-peak Is OF vcrdure.
We learn TO love those whom we nave
desplsed by rubbing against them.
Keep your heart open for everybody.
and be sure that YOU shall have your
reward.
The fact that you do not understand
a man, Is quite rs likely to DO your fault
as his.
The revenge which society takos upon
the man who isolatos himself, Is IS ter.
rIble as II Is Inevitable
DO your business in your own way,
and conccde TO every man the privilege
which you claim for yourself.

African nlIlnfrarc.

The ration for the earlier months
consisted OF about four ounces OF meat
and section OF corn-brcad four
inches square by three inches thick
The bread. OF unboltcd meal, was
baked very hard 20 the depth OF one
half inch. while the center was raw.
The bread would often be as fun of
flies a. plum pudding Il OF fruit.
As large portion OF our number
drew rations after dark the ingredi-
cnts were not wasted. During the
latter months vans. rice or peas
were issued In lieu OF meat. and meal
OF grits instead OF bread. We had
no vessels TO receive these. and the
steaming rice was shoveled from the
wagon.box into blankets; or "A man
