The Elephant Among the Egyptians.

The Carthaginians appear to have
tanned the African ~elephant-a feat now
regarded as impossible. On the other
hand, ThOthmes III encountered a herd
of 12O elephants in Mesopotamia, and
shows al elephant as part of his Asiatic
spoils. Possibly the Assyrians may even
at that early period have obtained ele-
plants from India. The Persians used
them at Arbela, and the Greeks brought
them to Palestine, as Pyrrhus (~unless in
deed his elephants were African did to
Italy.
But the range Of the Asiatic elephant
may have been wideri in early times than
it now is, for it survived with the rhi-
noceros in Honan down to 600 B. c. The
elephant is correctly represented on the
black obelisk of Shalmanezer II (SG0-S25
B. Co. with the rhinoceros; and other
Bactrian and Indian animals, notably
monkeys, occur on Assyrian bas-reliefs.

An Extraordinary Duel.

One Of the most remarkable duels ever
fought, perhaps, took place III 1868 be-
tween two Frenchmen. OF course the
quarrel arose about a lady-a certain
Mile. Tirevet-who, it appears, was un-
able to decide on which of the two she
preferred. She finally found a way out
of the difficulty by promising to marry
whichever Of them worsted the other.
They thought over the matter in a CALM
and judicial spirit for a month, and at
the end decided to fight a duel in the
air. Accordingly two balloons were
made exactly alike, and npon the ap-
pointed day each scared aloft, accom-
panied by his second.
They were each armed with Il blum
derbuss, the agreement being that they
were to fire, not at each other, but at
the balloons. They arose to the height
of half a mile, and then the preconcert-
ed signal was given. One fired and
missed; the other followed suit with
more disastrous effect. He hit his op-
pOnent's balloon, which instantly col
lapsed, with the result that the occu-
pants of the car We're dashed to the
earth with frightful rapidity and in
stantly killed.-St. Louis Republic.

The Office Bows Excuse.

There is an Office boy who caused a
great deal of trouble for the correspond
ing secretary of a woman's club. The
lady felt sure she should make some
mistakes at first in the performance Of
the duties of her new position, but was
totally unprepared for the avalanche of
criticism, remonstrances and fault find
ing which overwhelmed her after the
first meeting for which she sent out the
call.
Hardly anybody, it seemed, had re-
ceiyed a notification, and twenty-five or
thirty Of the $50 members had not even
heard there was to be a meeting. The
corresponding secretary interviewed her
husbands Office boy, to whom had been
given the list of members. the circulars
and other requisite stationery, with or
ders to address the envelopes and mail
them as promptly as possible.
did you fold the circulars and put
them in the envelope?:"
"Yes'n."
"And direct the envelopes and stamp
them and mail them?"
"Yes'm."
did you DO it promptly"?
"Yes'm."
"Then how do you suppose so many
of the ladies failed to receive their cir
cularS?"
"Oh, the envelopes didn't hold out to

The Necessity of the Times.

Inventive faculty will not have
reached high tide until some one per-
fects an envelope flap warranted to
stick. One Of the considerable discom-
forts of life takes the form Of a nom
adhesive mucilage that allows the en-
velope upon which it is placed to peel
open again and again as it is pressed
down, until in. a fine frenzy the letter
writer is driven hither and yon for real
mucilage. And the finer the quality of
the stationery the more trials lie in the
wake of the envelope.
If they are trusted to the mails with
out an extra dab Of mucilage, they may
be depended upon to arrive at their des-
tination invitingly opener accessible
to the sneakish individual, who in spite
of our civilization does exist, who is ca
pable of going against all written and
unwritten laws and tampering with a
seal. A padlocked envelope is one of
the necessities of the times.-Boston

A newspaper vOmen's club has been

too widely diversified interests to give
attention to the details OF newspaper

after the ordinary approved club style,
they take the names and Offices of edito
