ELEPHANT TRAINING.

New elephants are trained as follows:
They are first tied between two trees,
aud are rubbed down by anumbcr Of
men with long bamboos to an accom-
paniment Of the most cxtrnvagant
eulogies of the animal, sung and shouted
at it at the top of their voices. The
animal, of course, lashes out furiously at
first; but in a few days it ceases to act
on the offensive, or rs natives say,
"Shurum lagta hal" 1t becomes
ashamed of itself. and it then stands
with its trunk curled up shrinking from
the men. Ropes are now tied round its
body, and it is mounted at its picket for
several days. 1t is then taken out for
exercise, secured between two tame elc-
plants. The ropes still remain round
its body to enable the mahout to hold
on should the elephant try to shake him
off. A man preccdes it with a spear to
teach it to halt when ordered to do so,
whilst, as the tame elephants wheel to
the right or left, the mahout presses its
neck with his knees, and taps it on the
head with a small stick to train it to
turn in the required direction. To teach
an elephant to kneel it is taken into
water five feet deep when the sun is hot,
and, upon being prlckcd on the back
with a pointed stick, it soon lies down,
partly to avoid the pain, partly from
inclination for bath. BY taking it into
shallow water daily, it is snon taught to
kneel ever on dry land.-'Iaukce Blade.

ANDREW MARVEL AND THE BRIBE,

Andrew Marvel, a poet of some little
fame, wa chosen as a member Of Parlia-
ment for the borough Of Hull, in the
reign of Charles II. lie was a man of
integrity and spirit, and such persons
seem to have been rare in that reign.
The Government, wishing to bring over
to their side SO important a person, ard
believing that a man of 10 fortune could
readily be bought, sent the lord treasurer,
who had been his school-fcllow, to see
Marvel Dandy, at parting, slipped into
his hand an order for s. 900, and then
went to his carriage. Marvel called the
treasurer back to the garret, and then
summoned Jack, his servant-boy
Jack, what had l for dinner ycster-
day?'
Don't you know, sir2 The little
shoulder Of mutton you ordered me to
bring you from the market"
"Quite right, child; and what have I
for to-day?'
Don't you know, sir, that you bid me
lay by the blade-bonc to boil?'
"'Tis SO; very right, child; go away"
Then, turning to the astonished treas
urer, he said: MY lord, do you hear
that? Andrew Marvel's dinner is pro.
vided. There is your piece Of paper;
l want it not. The ministry must seek
other men for their purpose; I am not
one"

HONOR THE DEAR OLD MOTHER.

Time has scattered the snowy flakes
on her brow, plowcd deep burrows on
ler cheek-but is she not sweet and
beautiful now? The lips which have
kissed many a hot tear from the childish
cheek are the sweetest lips in all the
world.
The eye is dim. yet it glows with the
rapt radiance of a holy love which can
never fade.
Oh, yes, she is a dear old mother.
Her sands of time are nearly run ont,
but feeble as she is they will go further
and reach down lower for you than any
other on earth.
You cannot walk into midnight where
she cannot see you; you annot enter a
prison whose bars shall keep her out
you can never mount a scatfold too high
for her to reach that she may kiss and
bless you.
In evidence of her deathless love,
when the world shall despise and forsake
~you-when it leaves you by the wayside
to dis unnoticed, the dear old mother
will gather you up in her feeble arms,
carry you home and tell you Of all your
virtues until you almost forget that your
soul is disfgured by vices.
Love her tendcrly, and cheer her de.
clining years with holy devotion 1.-THE

To be go very young

The Chocolate Tree in Trinidad.

We learn that J.. II. Hart, Curator of
the Royal Botanic Gardens, Trinidad,
has recently returned from a visit to
Central America, after having success
fully transported thither no less than
twenty-five thousand plants of Trinidad
cocoa. In return he has conyevcd to
Trinidad two highly desirable varieties
OF the Theobroma cacao, and two species
new to that colony, and already rumer-
Gus plants of each are thriving we'll.
One Of the varieties is a purely white
seeded one, producing white pods and
splendid beans, which require only forty
eight hours fermentation instead of the
ten days usual in Trinidad. The second
variety, known in Nicaragua as "a!li-
gator ~cacao," is peculiar from the soft
lowering of its pod and the raised TO-
stead of indented sectional ribs. The
new species are Theobroma b:cclor and
T~heobroma sp., the latter kz1own as
"cacao meco, ""caeao mono or ''npnkey

~ The writer Of "Eicld Sports in

camping out, and the preparations
for supper, which, on account OF the
tateness Of the hour, was to consist
only Of tea, bread and butter and a
mutton chop. The five men who
made up the party had marched all
day, and were anXiOus for the even
Ing meal. 1t deyolyed upon W
to prepare it. He placed il well-f1lled
tea-kettle on the roaring camp-stovc,

faithful attendant, Prince. sought a
convenient spot to carve the mutton.
This he 0 0 discovered in a short
Jog, which he immediately bestrCdc,

and the fryiug-pan directly behind

His dog lad made, at least thirty
miles that day on - slim breakfast Of

was in just tll9 condition to allow
his feelings to. get the better OF his

dropped a slicS Of meat into the pan
behind his, back, Prince gulped it
down Immediately. Again and again
was the poor dog tempted, and as
often did he yield.

and though very well ware that u
