4 Monaghan Oath.

All Ching was in the dock of a Lon
don police court the other day, and All
Sing was in the witness box. All Sing,
as became a devOut Chinese, solemnly
took the usual saucer oath of his coun-
trymen. ''If do not speak the truth, -
said he, may my soul be cracked and
broken like this saucer" Then All
Sing struck the saucer against the
woodwork, but the crockery happened
to be of the tough variety which is seen
in our coffee and cake restaurants, and
All Sing had to exert all his strength
several times before he succeeded in re-
ducing the saucer to ruins. This solem-
nifty, however, did not impress the
magistrate, who decided that All Sings
story of assault lacked confederation,
and All Ching was permitted to depart
in peace. All Sing left the courtroom
with a remark that somebody must
have hit him, for there was a hole in
his cheek which was yet far from
healed

A Terrible Confession

LONDON, Aug. IA man who is con-
fined in prison in Glasgow has con-
fessed to the authorities that he was
implicated in the murder of Lord Lei
trim, who was shot and killed on April
2, 1878, while driving near his Lord
ships residence in County Derry, Ire
land. The prisoner also stated that he
was concerned in the killing of Lord
Mountmorres at Rusheen, County
Mayo, Ireland, Sept. 25, 1880. He
further says he was hired to assist the
man who killed the informer James
Carey, who was shot and killed on
board the steamer Melrose at Port
Elizabeth, South Africa, by passen-
ger named O'Donnen.
The prison commissioners are care
fully investigating the story of the
man, whom they have subjected to a
most searching examination, and are
endeavoring to secure proof of his
statements. They refuse to divulge
the prisoners name or to furnish any
informa ton regarding him.
None of the persons concerned in the
murder of Lord Leitrim and Lord
Nountmorres were ever caught.

A MOUNTED MODEL.
How the Artist of Famous ST. Peters.
burg Statue Did His Work.

How the Artist of Famous ST. Peters
burg Statue Did His Work.
Respecting the colossal statue of
Peter the Great at st. Petersburg it is
related that as soon as the artist had
formed his conception of the design he
communicated it to Empress Cath
arine, at the same time pointing out the
impossibility Of naturally representing
so striking a position of man and ami
NAL without having before his eyes a
horse and rider in the attitude she had
devised. Gen. Melissino, an officer hav-
the reputation of being the most expert
as well as the bOldest rider of the DAYS
to whom the difficulties of the artist
were made known, offered TO ride daily
one of Count Alexis Orloff's best Ara
bans to the summit of a steep artificial
mound formed for the purpose, accus-
toming the horse to gallop up to it, and
to halt suddenly with She forelegs
raised, paving the air over the brink of
a precipice. This dangerous expert
ment was carried into effect by the gen
eral for some days in the presence of
several spectators and of the artist,
who sketched the various movements
and parts of the groups from day to
day, adds Pearson's Weekly, and was
thus enabled to produce, perhaps, the
finest, certainly the most correct, statue
of the kind in Europe

REGARDING ELEPHANTS.
They Don't Have the Story Book Kind of
Love for Their Keepers.

Love for Their Keepers.
Talking of elephants, you read a
good many fool stories about them" re-
marked Bill Newman, the veteran
trainer at the Madison Square garden,
to New York Commercial reporter;
''stories that don't 60 much on facts
and heap on fancy
1.-THE principal one of them, the one
you always see in the childrens picture
books, is that the elephant truly loves
his keeper and will defend him at any
cost. I've been training the beasts for
over twenty-five years, and in all that
time I've met about five elephants that
would fight for the man who took care
of them.
kindness helps in way, but the
only method to get and keep absolute
control over those animals is to use the
steel freely and for all it's worth.
''Once you earn their respect you're
safe as long as you choose to stay with
them, but once let them doubt your abil-
ity to control and punish them and
you'd better get your policy paid for
you'll never know when you'll be sent
up the center pole by a stamp or blow.
Children are easy to bring up compared
with elephants. With the former you
can indulge in all sorts of moods, but
with the latter you must preserve one
tone at all times.
ga trainer who varies the treatment
of his charges, rewards them when they
ought to be punished, and vice versa,
won't live long. The beast, unable to
reason out what's expected of him, gets
worried, and generally ends matters by
laying out the gentleman who's annoy
ing him. This you can lay down
standard rule: If you ever let an ele-
plant get away with bluff, no matter
how small it is, you're never safe with
him after that.
Really bad elephants are few and
the majority of them have been made
so by dishonest trainers. These men
teach one particular animal in their care
to attack everyone but themselves, and
thus heighten their own value and win
regulations for their valor in bossing
an elephant that everybody is afraid of.
''Do l think that / will be killed in
harness? Well, haven't given much
thought to that. A dozen elephants
have tried to settle me so far, but
fooled them all, and it'll take pretty
smart one to corner me-

Making Telescope Lenses.

The average laynan has no concep-
ton of the numberless difficulties which
beset the firm which undertakes to cast
the lenses for large telescope. Some
times, and, in fact, usually, these at
tempts are attended with the most
annoying discouragements. Of the
two great lenses, which, together, are
to form the forty-inch glass of the Lick
observatory, in California, the first one
is safe in a Cambridge factory. The
second lens was in process of construc-
ton in Paris by Mantois; but while it
was in the furnace it exploded into a
thousand fragments. This mishap so
upset Mantois that he disappeared from
Paris for six weeks and could not be
found. But eventually he returned and
began work again on a new lens.
