AN ELEPHANTS EMOTION.
Overcome by Feeling when He Saw the
Vestiges of His Deceased Mother.

Overcome by Feeling when He saw the
Vestiges of His Deceased Mother.
A truly veracious story of the sagacity
of trained elephant which adorns a
French travelling show is being told by
some of the European newspapers.
The proprietor of the circus announced
that on certain night his elephant
would play the Russian hymn on
piano with his trunk. Immense in
terest was aroused, and when the
evening came the expectant public
crowded the circus to the roof
After the usual performances four
men carried in a cottage piano, which
they placed in the center OF the arena.
Then the intelligent animal was
brought in, paraded with much dignity
three times around the ring, and then.
amid the keenest excitement. advanced
to the piano. With a movement of his
trunk he touched the keyboard, but
hardly had he done so when a surpris-
ing change came over him. He trem
bled with fear and rage. whirled his
trunk into the air, and then. with a
scream of terror, rushed out of the
arena.
There was great hurrving to and
fro of the employees, and the circus
proprietor and the elephant keeper
left the ring for consultation. In a
few minutes the proprietor returned
and announced with regret that
the performance could not take place.
The fact was, he said. that the ele-
plant had recognized in the keyboard
of the instrument a portion of the
tusks of his long-lost mother, who had
fallen prey to the ivory hunters of
Africa. lie had suggested to the keeper
that another piano might be procured,
but that expert had informed him that
the animal was so overcome with emo
ton that it would be impossible for it
to perform that evening. Under these
circumstances he suggested that the
Russian Hymn" followed by the
'Marseillaise," should be played by
the band. The entertainment was
thus brought to a close amid the fran
tic applause of the audience go

AN INTELLIGENT REPTILE.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning the
Land Tortofse.

Some Interesting Facts Concerning the
Land Tortoise.
The sluggish motions of common land
tortoises or turtles" lead many per-
sons to underrate their intelligence.
This ridiculous slowness," however,
arises from the animals peculiar strrc-
ture. and is no proof of dizziness.
The legs of a turtle look more like
crutches than legs. And though the
feet form a strong graphing apparatus
for pulling along heavy weight, who
could expect swiftness from such toes?
Some large tortoises, nevertheless
make long journeys with more rapidity
than might seem possible.
In the Galapagos islands turtles were
found by Mr.. Darwin able to travel
four miles a day--a rate of progress not
despicable in creatures provided with
such legs; creatures. too, so heavy that
six men were often required TO lift one
of them.
Though the tortoise is slow of foot, it
is quick to take advantage of all its
available modes of defense. The box
tortoise possesses a singular defensive
apparatus. The plastron or she'll COW
ering the under part of the body is so
formed that its front segment can be
drawn upward to protect the animals
head, the head, meanwhile, being drawn
back under the carapace or shell on
the back of the tortoise.
The upper and under shells then meet
in front, forming box in which the
creature is unassailable. When the
danger is past the reptile relaxes a
muscle. and the raised part of the plas-
tron falls, allowing the head and fore
feet to come forth. This movable plate
is fastened to the plastron by strong
hinge of elastic ligament.
Few animals seem more impassive
than the tortoise, but those who have
ever watched its movements know that
the creature is really very sensitive A
few drops of rain will send il home
with all speed even the distant APP
proach of shower makes it uneasy.
Hence Gilbert White remarked that his
tortoise showed as much solicitude
about rain as lady dressed in all her
best attire"
The bright light of the sun seems es-
pecially grateful to tortoises; they rare
ly stir out at night, and the approach
of winter drives them into their re-
treats. This physical sensitiveness
shows their temperament to be less
sluggish than Is commonly supposed.
The animal also learns to recognize
persons. and remembers those who feed
it. instantly distinguishing them from
strangers.
Tortoises in tropical islands require
much fresh water for drinking, and
have often discovered springs of which
the human inhabitants were ignorant.
When such a fountain is found, the
whole surrounding district is soon COW
cred by ''tortoise-roads," made by these
large creatures in their journeys to and
from the water. The springs sometimes
flow from volcanic rocks at great ele-
walton, but the tortoises generally dis
cover them.-Youth' Companion.

THE WEATHER.

When the girls in Pirates of Pen

"Let us talk about the weather." they
begin on topic that is of vital inter
est to every one. For after all we are
what the weather makes us. When il
is warm and pleasant, we are happy.
When it is raw, we take cold and are
coneSpondingly unhappy and miSera-
bic. II is a dangerous thing TO allow
cold to run under the idea that cold
is of not much importance. 1t is OF
vital importance. When you take
cold do not delay a moment, but get

tainS neither opiateS nor narcotics. II
can be given to the tenderest infant
without any danger. 1t is the only
cough remedy in the world of which it
can be said it is impossible to take an

of any dealer. The small bottles cost

Cnrinus Wedding Rings.

In the early day of England wedding
rings were made of PUSHES, but in this
age even more curious materials are
sometimes pressed into services when
emergency demands it. Many cases
are on record where rings of brass or
iron and curtain rings and door keys
have taken the place of the bands of
gold which nervous grooms have mis-
laid. One bride is said to have been
married with leather ring. cut from a
finger of one of her gloves, and another
embarrassed young couple were re-
lieved by suggestion from the minis

Protestants do not use rings at their
marriage ceremonies. The Irish have
strong objection to any but gold we'd
