NARROW IS .rg OF THE ELEPHANT.


There was fire At Coney Island a
little while ago. aud the biz elephant:
almost burned up. His legs were
scorched and his trunk had tn he covered
up with rubber blankets to keep it from
being burned. While all this was going
on. the bi. elephant stood stock still,
and only when the flames were put out
did be seem To heave sigh of relief.
Through all the excitement he remained
moiionless.
Now this may seem very strange to
You. But the elephant is made Of wood,
SO you cannot expect him to show a
great deal of emotion lie is the big
fellow who stan Is upon the beach at
Coney Island. inviting You to walk up
inside of his legs and his trunk and take
q view of the island. His name is Jumbo
and his age is just nin- years. He has
never grown any since he was built. but
he has changed his coat every spring,
when new paint has been put upon him.
People out IN the ocean who had never
seen the wo den Jumbo we're very much
alarmed when the fire swept across Coney
Island. because they Thought the ele-
phant was alive and that he would | lurn
up. But when they heard That he was
only made of wond. they enjoyed the
sight greatly and could not help wishing
that they could see the big brown fellow
curl up into gray smoke. - New York

'' The Inca's Eyes"

In August, 1868, an American ship,
the kearsage, was within three miles If
the Peruvian shore. when an earthauake e
took place. Officers from the ship. after
aiding the inhabitants set about investi
eating the attendant phenomena, and
discovered a tomb with several Peruvian
mummies which the earthquake had laid
bare. These mummies, as is generally
known. are simply dried up, as in the
great 1t Bernhard aud certain Itai

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
rnE SANDMAN.

The sandman passes from house to house
At dusk on his way through town.
He shakes his box to the right and the left
Into baby eyes blue and brown.
And the eyelids droopas the sand shower
falls
So softly that no one knows when
The sandman came, but you soon can see
He's been on his rounds again.
For wherever he passes, the dear little
heads
Droop like the sun kissed flowers,
Aud nestle into their pillows whitc
To sleep through the quiet hours.

On the day when he was for the first time to meet the Due q d'Aumale at the acad- emy he remembered the appoint ment while thus busted, and without remembering how he was dressed took a cab to the academy. There he had the usual cordial reception, and had long talk with the new academlcian.

Physical Erercl-..

Dr. Sargent estimates that the pur- suit of outdoor sports Is limited to probably less than per cent. of our vigorous young men. Even among the members of athletic organiza- tions only 10 per cent. are really ac- tive. Dr Sargent attributes the in creasing lack of interest to the grow ing tendency among Americans, as a people, to pursue sport d. an end in itself rather than as a means to an end In making excellence in the achievement the primary object of athletic exercises they are robbed of half their value in various ways-for instance, by increasing the expenses of training; by the devOting of too much time to practice; by reducing the number of active competitors: hy relying upon natural resources rather than on cultivated material {; by depriving the nonathletic indi vidual of incentive to physical exer- tions; by depriving the exercises of their efficiency as a means of health. Dr. Sargent holds that the harmo- nious development of the physique and the building up and broadening out of the highest types of manhood and womanhood ought to offer in- ducement enough for each to work.

LONG DISTANCE RIDES.
A Favorits Subject with Poets and
 Writers of Romance.

A Favorits Subject with Poets and Writers of Romance.
 Long distance rides have always beon favorite subject with poets and writers of romance. There Is some thing that seizes the imagination in the idea of a solitary horseman spur ring on his steed in a race with time, spurTed on himself by terror, by ha- tired or by devotion to duty. But al though they willingly treat of him it cannot be said that they often succeed in making him very real. We all know how Dick Turpin rode to New York. We also know how Mir. Browning brought the good news to Ghent- after fashion almost as apocryphal as the news itself.
 The recognized method, both in poetry and fiction, generally pro duces much the same picture. The gallant, generous hearted animal gallops on and on with no abate ment of speed, for the rider is al ways apparently injudicious enough to force the pace the whole way Soon after the accomplishment of some hundred odd miles at full gal. lop we learn that the noble steed be gins to show signs of distreSs-as well he may-his ''heaving Hanks are wet with foam. his blood red" nostrils are wide spread, and his labored breath comes in great sobs.
 One might imagine from the de scripnon that the horse had stopped i; but no, he is still galloping, heaving Hanks and all One might also sup pose that the rider, perceiving these symptoms would pull up and give the horse a chance; on the contrary, at this juncture he makes a passion ate appeal to the horses better feel ings-an appeal which is couched in language too beautiful to be unavail- ing. And so the poor beast gallops on for another hour or SO until he arrives at his destination and drops dead with 6 broken heart.
 Even men who have ridden their horses to a standstill in the hunting field at the same mad pace will fail to recognize the accuracy of the de scr1ption. In the case of a long dis tance, where it is the course and not the pace that kills, the picture is ludicrously incorrect. Well, it must be confessed that the reality is rather ugly and does not lend itself easily to the uses of romance; the sight of a man and his horse crawl ing painfully onward, the former still wearily persisting in the useless cruelty of the spur. while the latter, painfully dragging one foot behind the other, droops his head miserably on the hard jerked rein, is not one to inspire pleasurably the readers of ance.-London Spectator.

sprsaa of the English IanruAee.

In 100 years the United States will probably have as many inhabitants as China, and it is not likely that Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Cape will fall much short of hali their total, especially if England bc reckoned with them. Some have in. deed been found to maintain that English will not be the language of the whole even of the United States, while others point to the vigorous vitality of the French spoken by the French Canadians and the recrudes- cence of the Welsh in the British islands as hints that languages die hard. But it is impossible to sup pose that such considerations can af- feet the main question.
 There are already signs that Eng. fish IS becoming the literary Ian guage of Europe Professor Yam bery, a Hungarian, published his au- photography first in English dress, The Dutch author of The Sin of JoOst Aveling" wrote his novel, An Old Maid, in English. and the author of ''The Crustacea of Norway, him self presumably Norwegian, frank ly owns in his advertisement that to obtain the largest possible circulation for his book it will be issued in the English language. .-Macmillans Mag aZina
