II think that man gets less comfort
out OF life than does any other animal, =
said George Mcdonald, a guest Of the
Southern. "Life for him Is continual
battle from the cradle to the grave.
What happiness he finds nthe compan-
ionship of loved ones is more than coun-
terbalanced by the pain of the inevitable
parting. Poverty, ambition and greed
are scorpion whips, goading him ever to
exertions beyond his strength, until at
last he sinks, worn out and weary, be-
fore he reaches what should DO lifS,s
high noon. His very diversions are taken
in feverish, hurried manner, as though
he begrudged the time thus stolen from
business cares. And the higher the posi-
ton OF a people in scale of civilization
the less Of poetry and pleasure do they
appear to find, the moro stubborn and
unrelenting the battle for existence.
With the lower animals life is luxury
simple existence a pleasure.

You Can Have Your Own Central"
The latest device to facilitate COM
munication between inherent uepart-
ments of large business establishments
is miniature telephone exchange. The
system Is installed after exactly the
same principle as an exchange covering
wide city area. Each desk to be put
in connection has its own instrument,
which Is in principle the same thing as
the full grown telephone, but is of min
iature size. The receiving or hand In
strument, however, is not of the long
shape with cylindrical handle, familiar
everywhere nowadays, but is simply
fat disk resembling one of the earliest
forms Of telephone, of which few were
seen in the infancy of the invention.
The central Office" is put in small
closet or Enclosure at some convenient
point, and is operated by a boy who has
nothing else to do.
There are a dozen or so connections,
according to the size of the installation
and the needs Of the Office. This ex-
change is operated upon precisely the
same principle, though of course ON a
smaller scale and with less complication,
as central Office in city exchange.
The ring of any of the connected tele-
phones causes a numbered disk on o
switchboard to fall when the boy makes
the desired connection and releases it
when the talk is finished. In large and
busy establishments, where every de-
partment must be connected with every
other for frequent communication, this
telephone exchange system does away
with large number of cumbrous speak
ing tubes and insures quicker and
more satisfactory service.-New York
Tribune.

There is probably no more confusing

the elephants death is sad. The animals
were being loaded while the circus was
performing, and Scott was walking
Jumbo along the railroad between two
rows of trucks. !:
There was another elephant with them
"a dwarf elephant bought in Singapore
in 1883 to be "clown elephant" Jumbo
would not go anywhere without him.
On this occasion the small elephant was
going in front, and when the train came
round the curve Jumbo caught hold of
his chum and pushed him between two
freight trucks. This saved the small
one, who only got his leg broken, but
Jumbo was badly cut up by the heavy
locomotive and died about an hour after.

India the Ficus religiosa, under which
Buddha rested for seven years plunged
in divine thought, is dedicated to re-

they then proceed to destroy.
