OF course, it is all very well to pick IN

little game of blind-man's-buff with it,
first; bandage the lovers eyes-and lure
and elude him awhile. Phebe will either
hand it back to him neatly folded, with
some advice as to its uses, or SIZE will
wear it primly tied round her own foolish
little neck. He is very much in love
with her. Charles says, a calm sort Of

The Elephants OF King Alexander.

Alexander was proud of the huge
elephants of his court and fond of
showing their Intelligence; and the
trainer who succeeded in making the
elephant acconiplis the most wonder
ful deeds was higlly honored.
On n occasion some elephants were
being shown to an eminent general.
when the latter remarked that evideni-
~ they could perform any service that
a man could. They might even bridge
a stream" he added.
No sooner were the words uttered
than a signal was given aud the herd
was marched into Il stream that rushed
by the camp.
The well-trained animals walled into
the water. which was four or live feet
deep. aud arranged themselves side by
side. ont heading up stream. aud
others down. Men nov ran forward
with planks. which were placed upon
the backs of the animals. while others
were continued from back to back.
and in "A remarkably short space of
time an elephant bridge was ready.
over which the soldiers passed, while
the huge animals trumpeted aud sent
streams of water whirling into the air.
On another occasion one of the gem
erals Of the army. who had displayed
especial bravery, was ordered before
the chief, who publicly thanked him.
Even my elephants" said one Of
the elephantarchs, "can distinguish the
hero"
At this the crowd fell back. and a
gorgcously ornamented elephant APP
preached. bearing in its trunk "A wreath
of oak-leaves. Walking up to the hero
of the hour. it dropped upon ite .nees.
placing the wreath upon the olIcer's
head. and then retired amid the shouts
of the admiring soldiers.
Undoubtedly the driver who sat up
on the animals head had much to do
with this performance. but we must
admit that the elephant exhibited Won
derful Intelligence ia so exactly carry
ing out orders. -LhIrteS Frederick
