IN THE OSSIPEE GLENS.
The Baunt and Inspiration of Whittier
Some OF His Favorite NoolSs.


Any one who thinks of it for a mo-
ment must, for instance, be aware that
there are innumerable delightful hide.
away places in the hill country of New
Hampshire, fairy hooks and corners OF
which the railway-traveling world has
not the remotest guess. This has been
found true of the green heights of the
Ossipees, thirty miles or SO south of the
Presidential group, rarely thought of
except as a threshold or stepping stone
to the loftier peaks. That shaggy bulk
hides dells and gorges in its bosom, fra
grant with breezy bloom and musical
with the laughter of rivulet and water
fall. Picturesque homes, inhabited and
deserted, are hidden in its glens; and
half obliterated histories are written on
its gray lodges.
This range, fortunate in being ac-
counted uninteresting by the common
traveller, has not been without its mer-
tied poetic appreciation. Sweet songs
from our truest New England poet,
flow down it's sides in lovely blending
with the melody of brook and cascade.
Whittier writes;
1.-THE years are many since at first
For dreamed-of wonders all athirst,
saw upon Winnepesaukee fall
The shadow of the mountain-wall."
And scarcely another mountain poem
of his has more subtle tenderness of
suggestion than that Mystery" in
which he doubtless gives us a glimpse
of his first vision of the Bearcamp aud
Chocorua:
1.-THE river hemmed with leaning trees
Wound through its meadows green;
A low blue line of mountains showed
The open pines between.
"One sharp tall peak above them all
Clear into sunlight sprang;
1 saw the river of my dreams,
The mountains that sang"
For the poet had told how "Choco.
rua's horn of shadow pierced the
water" long before he had seen for
himself the marvellous reflection of
that savage summit in it's own lake
mirror. Hardly less perfect is 'Sunset
on the Bearcamp, "a noble picture poem,
the result of later visit. THE Seek
ing of the Waterfall" is another fine in.
spiration drawn from this locality-the
region about West Ossipee and the Bear
camp River house, for many years a
ldVOrlJe summer RESORT OF our pOets
The site of that old fashioned hostelry
is now but desolate mound, the build
ings having been destroyed by fire
few years since. But the lonely spot
is peopled with delightful memories,
clustering about this one honored fig
ure, whose presence heightened the
natural charm of the place, always the
center of some group of friends he had
won hither, intermingled with whom
were transient housemates, at once
cordially received as friends. The rare
merriment the genial good fellowship
that were shared around that blazing
parlor wood fire, must yet be felt as
warmth at the heart by scores of re-
gretful mountain sojourners

TAME ELEPHANTS.
Why 1t Is Necessary to Recruit the SUI
ply FROM the WIlda,

| ply FROM the wIlds.
The necessity for recruiting the sup
ply OF tame elephants by the capture of
wild ones is due to the fact that this
huge beast rarely breeds in captivity,
though, If we are to believe Klean,
they were repeatedly reared in ancient
Rome. In Burmah, also, such cases are
known. But in India and Ceylon,
births in state OF domesticity are ex-
ceedingly rare, so that any gaps in the
stock must he filed up by entrapping
those which roam in the forest This
has been accomplished by the natives
in small way from the earliest time,
though it was not until Sanderson
brought his genius for the business to
bear upon it that "keddahs" or "cor-
rails" on the scale which he made so sue
cessful were considered possible A
keddah is simply n stockade, or vast en-
| closure made with trunks or branches
of trees, somewhere in the heart of a
jungle known to be frequented by ele-
phants. Only one opening is left at the
side, this entrance being usually ap-
preached by a funnel-shaped avenue,
gradually narrowing as it nears the
walls of the stockade. The enclosure
being completed, beaters are dispatched
in an extensive crescent the hunters
gradually narrowing their circle until a
very limited area is left for the fi1ial
rush. Here the hunters halt to allow
the animals to rest and recover from
their terror, though to prevent a STAN
pede great fires are lit all around At
last, armed with torches, the beaters
close in, and with wild shouts force the
panic-stricken brutes to make for the
opening in the lSeddah as the only out
let which appears ready for their es-
cape. Once inside the trap the gap is
blocked up with logs ready for the pur-
pose, and the dazed beasts are left to
rest. Next comes the process of tannp-
ing Several domesticated elephants,
each bearing ''mahout," or driver,
with a "nooser" following behind on
foot, enter the corral, mingling freely
with the captives until the latter are
put off their guard, and the "nooser"
has an opportunity to slip cord in sue
cession round the legs of the wild ami
mails. In this fashion the captive is Sc
cured to tree until he becomes habit
uated to the idea that he is not any
longer free. Aided by the sagacious
cooperation of the tame elephant, the
process of domestication goes on, until
in couple of months the beast is per-
mitted to be at large with mahout, to
whom he has got accustomed, on his
back, and in three or four months it is
seldom that, by dint of kindness and
frmness, the wilding can not be put to
work, or displays any inordinate pro-
pensity to escape. 1t was in this dan
gerous service that Sanderson earned
his fame. He studied the ways of the
great animal, and by his knowledge of
its habits and weaknesses rendered at
once the art of catching and tanning it
more easy than even the natives had
believed.-London Standard.

In the continuation of the examination Of
Ravachol, Simon, alias Biscuit, was crass-ex-

mitted that he had taken part in the explo-

court then adjourned, aud on resuming pro

that be had become acquainted with Ravachol
through Beala. RavachOl told him that he
had taken part in a dynamite robbery at
Choisy Sous Ettoiles He further admitted
that Simon, Gustaye Matthleu and HaraebaI
went to see him, and also Beala. Ravachoi
told him about the unsuccessful attempt to
blow up the commissIsrat Of police at Cfichy.
1t was not true that the reason WHY he had
