Elephant Parades of Ancient Days.

1t was in the professions and
pageants that elephants made the
finest appearance, fitted with magnif-
cent trappings, and marching slowly
along, as if conscious of their fine
looks. One of the most remarkable
shows was that at the wedding of
Vizier Ali, in 1895. Here twelve hun
dred elephants were in line, all richly
costumed. Of these one hundred had
howdahs, or castles, covered with sill
yer, while in the center sat the nabob
upon a very large elephant whose
howdah was covered with gold set
with jewels.
The daily parade of the elephants of
the court of Jehanghir was wonder
full display. The elephants were be-
decked with precious stones, chains of
gold and silver, gilt banners and flags.
The first elephant, called the Lord
Elephant, had the plates of his head
and breast set with rubies and emer-
aids, and as he passed the king he
turned, dropped upon his knees, and
trumpeted IoudlyInot in loyal frame
of mind, exactly, but because the
just at the right time. Silly people,
however, believed that the elephant
was showing respect for the king.
To-day the elephant is still used in
India in pageants, as laborer, espe-
cially in the lumber districts, where it
is taught to carry long timbers, and,
as has been said, forms corps in the
British army; but in active warfare it
is now useful only in few cases, and
can never be employed so frequently
as in ancient times.-C Charles Frederick
Holder, in st. Nicholas.

They came into the restaurant, a
man and boy, says the Detroit Free
Press. The former wore the air of
business man out for his monday
lunch, and as it was Saturday it was
easy to guess the boy was taking half
his holiday helping in the office. The
man sat with preoccupied air while
waiting to be served, and answered
the boys questions in an absent-mind-
ed way, which showed that he had not
thrown business cares off. The boy
chatted about this, snickered about
that, fumbled his knife and fork until
he dropped them, and eyed every
waiter who passed with quizzical
stare at the contents of his tray. And
the manner of their eating was as diff
ferent as the manner of their waiting.
The man hustled his food down his
throat as if he neither enjoyed it at
the time nor expected to later.
The boy took time to arrange his
side dishes to his own notion, those he
liked best nearest to hand, and then
went to work leisurely to take sip of
this, taste of that, or to season an
other to suit. He may have taken
large mouthfuls-boys will-but he
took plenty of time to talk between
bites-boys will also do that. The
father filled his mouth and washed the
food down with scalding hot coffee.
The boy got his coffee sugared and
creamed just to suit him, and then let
it stand and cool off while he was eat
ing. The father finished with lemon
custard pie, and gave his mouth
swipe with the napkin in precisely
nine and three-quarter minutes from
the time he broke ground on his cold
roast beef, while the boy had only just
laid aside his soup-spoon and was
working along toward the best parts
of his chicken potpie.
Cant wait for you, Fred" said the
father impatiently, after noticing the
progress of the boy and looking at his
watch; "Ill go on to the postoffice and
stop in as l come back" and he went
to pile fresh load of responsibility on
his mind while his stomach was groan-
ing under a load of badly chosen food,
hastily bolted under unfavorable con-
ditions. When he came in five min
utes later the boy sat with his knife
and fork on standstill between apple
roll and rice pudding, and kept the
impatient man of business waiting
two whole minutes longer while he
finished it and drank his coffee.
pretty good lunch, papa" he said
cheerily.

Greek as She Is Spoke.

In letter to the Times on Greek at

says: "I would venture to conclude
with an appropriate anecdote which
may help to enliven this somewhat
dry subject The late Bishop Wilber-
force was wont to relate that at one of
his ordinations he once had candi-
date who was the son of an English
merchant settled in Greece. When
examined in the Greek testament this
gentleman pronounced in the Greek
manner, which seemed strange to the
bishop, who exclaimed: oh, Mr.. --,

BROUGHT DOWN A BEAR.
A stockbroker's Experience With the
Genuine Article.

A Stockholders Experience With the
Genuine Article.
On change there was but one topic of con-
versation yesterday, and 1t was "bears."
The bulls were not in it. A story had gone
abroad that Nat Messer, j. l.. Flood and
Charles Z. Paxton. all financial heavy
weights. were bearing" the market, but
when the truth came out it was discovered
that the clearing" had 40 relation to stocks
and bonds. but referred entirely to genuine
and not to metaphorical bears The gen.
tiemen mentioned had taken three weeks
vacation to the country and each was ac
cused of having killed q bear. There
were wild and weird tales about their eX-
ploits told in the Stock Exchange. until
all developed into veritable nimrOds.
Rumor went so far as TO say that Messer
and Flood had brought back with them the
skin OF bear weighing 1000 pounds.
A CALL reporter started to get at the
truth OF the various legends spun, and
managed to obtain some Information about
the trip made.
Messrs Messer. Flood and Paxton, ac-
companied by a guide, went on three
weeks trip to Curry and Josephine counties,
Oregon, on roughing expedition. While
in the mountains only one black bear was
seen and this started TO run down hill 1t
was large fellow. weighing about $50
pounds. Paxton and Messer shot at bruin
with their rifles. Nat Messer got the glory
OF having brought the bear to his knees by
a splendid running shot. The bear was hit
in vital spot and was afterward skinned.
The party proceeded higher in the noun
tains and bagged a number of Geer. Messer
seemed TO be in luck on the trip and secured
as prize a large five-year-old buck He
cut off the head and antlers and brought
them to this city. The antlers are fully
three feet in length and are magnificent
specimen. MesSer intends to have them
preserved and will hang them in his Office
as an exhibition of his hunting abilities
All of the party had an excellent time,
game being abundant, with no fear of the
law. The party found that fishing was not
as good as it is IN California.
