English COMPANY, one of the strongest in
London. has been induced 70 enter
the field OF investments IN American
industrial enterprises largely through
tho wonderful success of the hliddles-

the marvellous success of the Elyton Land

WHETHER PERMANENT OR NOT.
One great point that should never be lost
sight of IL looking into these new land COM
panies is whether their probable development
is going to be permanent or otherwise.

poses does not mean permanent prosperity.

concerns employing thousands Of hands

An Elephant That Could Count
Twenty.

Mr.. Arthur Clay sends the following
instance of the sagacity OF the ele-
plant. 1t was told me, he says, by
Mr.. Quay, at the time a con-commis-
stoned officer in the first battalion of
the sixtieth rifles, but now one of her
majesty's yeomen Of the guard. In
1888 his regiment was marching from
Peshawur to Kopulvie and was &C
companied by a train OF elephants. It
was the duty of the mahout in charge
OF each elephant to prepare twenty
chupatties, or hatcakes made OF coarse
flour, for his charge. When the twenty
chupattles We're ready they We're placed
before the elephant, who during the
process OF counting neyer attempted
to touch one of them until the full
nu.nber was completed. On the oc-
casion related by Mr.. Quay one Of the
elephants had seized the opportunity
OF his mahout's attention being dis
tracted for a moment to steal and
swallow one OF the chupatties. When
the mahout, having finished the pre-
paration, began to. count them. out.
he OF course discovered the theft, and
presented his charge with nineteen in
place of the usual number. The ele-
plant instantly appreciated the fact
OF there being one less than he had O.
right to except, and refused to touch
them, expressing his indignation by
loud trumpetings. This brought the
conductor Of the<elephant line with
whom Mr.. Quay had been in CONVEX
sat1on) on the scene. Having heard
the explanation of the mahout the
conductor fdecided that the mahout
was in fault for not keeping a better
lookout, and ordered him to provide
the twentieth cakeyat his own cost.
When this was. prepared and added to
the pile the elephant at once accepted
and ate them.

The Art Of Story Telling.

The habit Of telling stories is apt to
grow into a vice. It is easy enough for
a bright man to raise a laugh and aid
in the entertainment OF company
by the relation OF some bright Incl
dent, but unhappily he is apt to de-
generate into a monopolizer Of CON
versatlOn. Some one once defined q
bore to the man who persists in talk
ing about himself when you want to
talk about yourself. There is good
deal In this, even when the desire is
not to be so personal as ones own
affairs. 1t is only human to desire
to have a fair share OF the converse
ton as OF every other social privilege.
