Too Shy.

Henry Cavendish, a distinguished
philosopher of the eighteenth century,
was so shy that oven his female domes-
tics were compelled to keep out of his
sight, and his housekeeper received her
orders by notes placed on the hall
table. So controlling was his consti-
tutionnl infirmity that the. only way of
conversIng with him Was not to look at
him, but to talk, as it were, into va
cancy. Only thus could he be drawn
into conversation.
Onco Mt company of men of science
an Austrian savant complimented Cav
endish by declaring that his chief mo-
tive in visiting London had been to
converse with the illustrious philoso-
pher to whom he had just been intro
duced. Cavendsh stood with ewes
cast down, and uttered not word. At
length, seeing nm opening in tho circle,
he darted through it, ran down stairs to
his carriage. and drove home
The Duke of Portland used to shelter
himself from observation, while walk
ing in his park, by hiding under hugo
umbrella. The back of his London
residence was guarded by wall so high
that the neighbors could not see the
dukes house, much less its inmate,
when he was walking in the yard.
Both of these gentlemen were victims
of an excessive self-consciousness. They
thought too much about themselves.
and were deluded by the notion that
everyone was looking at them.
Sydney Smith. in his youth, was very
shy. He cured himself of the disease
by making two discoveries: first, that
people were not employed in Observing
him; and next, that the world es-
timated man ut his true value.
Abernethy, an eminent London sur
geon of the last century, was noted for
his independence and indifference to
people of rank and wealth. a cert ain
nobleman once presented himself at
the surgeons Office and, without wait
ing for his turn, demanded to see Aber-
nethy. He was refused, and when it
came his turn he entered the consult
ing-room in great anger.
DO you know who amp" he asked.
@No, sir!" was the cool reply, "but l
am John Abernethy, surgeon, and il
| you wish to consult me am now ready
to hear what you have to say in your
I turn"
"Yet this man, so indifferent to lords
and ladies, whom he had to lecture be.
fore several hundred medical students
was often painfully embarrassed. AS
he was about to begin he would be
obliged to retire in order to collect his
thoughts. The consciousness of his
great reputation and the anxiety to
stand we'll with the students made him
shy.

The Ideal Indian Day school.

Miss Elaine Goodale presents this de-
scription of what an Indian ds.y school
should be, based on her experience in
conducting the White River Day School
on the Lower Brule Agency:
The teachers of day school are two
in number, and may be man and his
wife or two women, or a lady with an
educated Indian for assistant, and they
may divide the work between them in
various ways, 80 that at least ono is COM
petent to teach the elementary English
branches, and ono is able to train afrls in
household work and boys in gardening.

hour for lunch and recreation. The

decorously and neatly served. Regular
details are sent out from the schoolroom

We were the only two of thoontflt who

IN vain search for camp. Daylight

tirely opposite direction, and one nearly
ten miles from his destination.
Messengers were despatched to ranch
across the river aud to another twenty
miles away. Men were sent to our as
sistance, and with force OF twenty cow
boys the scattered cattle werc rounded
up in two days, and we continued our
journey, having lost but six head in the
wild stampede.
Evidences of the wild rush of the cat.
tie were plentiful in the broken horns,

trampled to jelly. The poor brutes,
exhausted, had fallen to the ground, only

A Lost Elephant.

tYou wouldn't think that an elephant
could get lost in the United States,
would you7" asked Agent BIcCadden, of
the Forepaugh show.
"Well, ono did go astray, he con-
tinued, ''and we had mighty hard work
to find it. Adam Forepaugh had
habit OF letting out his surplus animals
to smaller shows, and when he died his
executors had queer time tracing up his
assets and making good tho delivery of
animals to the firm to which he sold tho
show.
"After considerable trouble oil tho
animals were accounted for but one trick
elephant named Empress, of whom the
executors could get no trace, 1 received
letter from them one day with special
commission to hunt up the missing ele-
plant.
empress was worth $4,000 at low
estimate, and was really of much moro
value to show which understood we'll
how to exhibit her and mako use of her
tricks. After careful search through
the contracts it was ascertaiued that EN-
pr2ss had been let to small show which
started on Western tour. With this
clue traced the show through the West
and back toward the East until it
reached spot in the wilds of Westvir-
ginia. T.
"Thcrc it seemed suddenly to sink out
of sight, and was at loss to know
whether the animals were roaming over
tho hills and mountains, mired in some
of the swampy valleys, or drowned in
tho Ohio River.
Investigation revealed, however,
that the undulating country had been
too much for the show. The horses had
become exhausted by climbing steep
hills, fording streams and dragging
heavy wagons over soft roads. The pro-
prietor was unable to keep up with his
advertising dates, and his revenue being
cut off, the show busted.
"Then it was found by inquiry in tho
sparse settlements that Empress had been
driven to the Ohio River and shipped up
stream to Pittsburg. The elephant con-
sumed about $40 worth of food daily,
and she was rapidly making her tempo
rary keeper poorer. But at Pittsburg
he pulled together all his resources and
established low-priced entertainment ut
East Liberty, where the big beast was
made to do good service. There she
was recently found, gaunt and lean.
She will soon be turned over to MIR.
Forepaugh's successors, who will sec
that her voracious appetite is appeased."

From Lloyd's new war-ship table it is
seen that the British Empire has thirty
eight merchant steamers to each war YES
sci capahle-e&steaming upward of four.

figures, thinks the Times Democrat, will
serve better than any other form of rea-
aoning to show how important it is that
naval cruisers should be sufficiently strong
and numerous to protect the vast wealth
exposed to the depredations of an enemy
upon the seas.

Tho Suspicious Russian Peasants.

In an article in the New York World
on the superstitions and timidity of the
peasants of Little Russia, Thomas Stevens
says:
The most common form OF suspicion is
that we are secretly engaged in number
ing the people and assessing the property
for the purpose of increasing the taxes.
An attempt to photograph a house pro-
duces considerable excitement. To the
peasant this is proof positive that aggres-
sive measures in the nature of heavier
taxes will be the outcome of our visit.
The peasants themselves are as chary of
the camera as the most timid and sus-
picious OF the East African tribes which
the writer met last summer.
Their timidity and suspicious, it is fair
to say, are not always tho result of super
stition. In some cases superstition and
Ignorance form the groundwork of their
objections, but their chief fears are that
we are agents of the Government. In
one small village the people were SO con-
WINGED that we were Government spies
secretly assessing their property that a
delegation of elders waited on us and
naively offered to pay us for undervalu-
ing their belongings. Thus far taxes
are levied at so many roubles per
male head of the. population. The
peasants, however, are always in
dread Of some new scheme of
squeezing more money out of their pock-
cts. The traveller finds among these
people the same dread of Government Of
ficials as in Turkey, Persia, China and
other countries where the officials are no.
toriously corrupt, though not in the
same degree. The evidence of bad gov
eminent, which finds expression in the
servile prostitution OF tho peasantry be-
fore the minions of the governing power,
is seen to the best advantage in the Ar
menien villages of Asiatic Turkey. The
arrival of Turkish officer in village
creates az much CONSERVATION among the
people as il they were rats in pit, and
the man in uniform the terrier, who is
heavily backed to kill them all in GER
tain length of time. Nine-tenths of them
are invisible from the time of his arrival
to his departure; the other tenth hover
about, watchful and alert, to anticipate
his every wish. The state of affairs in
Russia is decided improvement on this
but when tho worst fears of the peasant
take the form of suspicion that the
stranger who comes among them is an
officer of the Government something evil
IDENTIFY is wrong.

wore bright-hucd shawls over their heads
and massive gold ornaments on their
ears. Four of the five open-eyed chill
dren, who were small editions of their
fathers in features and dress, completed
this motley party. The magistrate sur
vcyed them with an amused smile, and,
turning to an oflicsr, asked him what
WIS the charge against these people.
Leading bears through tho streets
without permit, your honor" was tho
reply, and everybody Uttered Mt the enor-
nifty of the offence.
"Don't you know" asked the justice,
with IN aifectation of sternncss of the
oldest of the men, "that you have no
business to turn the streets of this town

The prisoner addressed-he was Sa-
voyard shook his head and then poured
forth torrent of patois, gesticuating
wildly as he told the story of his wrongs
in free America. Then there was loud
demand for an interpreter. and while one
was being found the socdy lawyer, who
had invited himself to defend the prison
CTS, told the magistrate that the Savoy
ards, who had dropped into the city no
one knew how, were attempting to give
a performance with their bears on West
street dock when arrested. Not one of
them could speak English. The lawyer
said their ignorance of the customs of
the country was sufficient defense, and
he asked that they be allowed to go their
way without fine.
