How an Elephant FishtA

The elephant, although a very iars .
animal. is not a good fighter. A lion
can jump upon his back and tear off his
big, loose hide in way which will
make the elephant roar with agony,
and the tiger and the panther can do
the same to him. Even the kangaroo,
whose front legs are mere paws, has
the advantage of the elephant for it
can jump underneath him and scratch
vigorously with its two powerful hind
legs, while its forepaws dig deeply into
his sensitive trunk. So the elephant.
in warfare, has to resort to strategy.
One Of his tricks is to stand very still,
until the lion or the tiger, as the case
may be, has jumped upon his back, and
then, before there has been time to do
much damage, Mr.. Elephant lies down
and rolls over, crushing his enemy.
There is pretty story told by an AT
rican explorer of how an elephant
killed whole family of lions by back
ing with them, one by one, into deep
water, until they were SO far in the
stream that they could not swim to the
shore. The elephant; who was a cum
Mag fellow, would dip very low into
the water and the lions would have to
give up their grip upon his back. Ele-
plants are very intelligent fellows, and
good-hearted, too, If not provoked

Turner's Decided Opinion.

Mr.. John saddler, an English en-
grayer, told this story OF beneficial
criticism which he received when a
young man from the great painter
Turner. Mr.. Turner's opinion as ex-
pressed was not easily forgotten. Sad
dler was an apprentice to George
Cooke, who engraved Turner's South
ern Coast of England" While Saddler
was pupil to Cooke he took plate for
turner's inspection. Scanning the
plate with his eagle eye, which Sad
dler said he never saw equalad ex-
ccpt in Sir Edwin Landseer, he asked'
"Who did this plate, my boy?
"Mr. Cooke, sir" ;,
go and tell your master he is
bringing you on very nicely, especially
in lying" The boy himself had done 9

Into the under side of the shelf, close

that the heads projected like four legs,
each nearly an inch long. These little

A square, round or oblong shelf may
be adjusted to any four-leggcd stand
or table in this way. They make con-

commodes.
. At the end of the table, close to the
pillow, row of roomy pockets were
suspended by cords or ribbons from lit
tie brass screw-eyes, and, to keep them
from swinging out of place, each lower
corner was secured to similar screw
eye inside the table leg.
Standing close by the side Of the bed
every part of the tabletop, shelf,

dispensable. Water, medicine, fruit,
bell, handkerchief, napkin, fan, watch

pervious to water, could lie wiped off

what might have been spilled upon it,
and the pocket Innings, like rubber
cloth bags, could be turned out and
cleaned at any time.

be fifteen years younger than she really
was. In this connection the celebra-

To Noto n Clever Woman.

The cleverest woman In the matter
Of dress Is the plain woman who con-
trives never to let you know she's

one must have natural good taste. It's

makers need directing. They can't be

should know them herself. All women,

TIE SIN OF FRETTINe.
Helen Hunts Famous Little Sermon
the Subject,

the Subject.
There is one sin which it seems to
me is everywhere, and by rybody Is
underestimated and quite too much
overlooked in valuations of character.
1t is the sin of fretting. 1t is as COM
mon as air, as speech-so common that
unless it rises above it's usual monotone
we do not even observe it. Watch any
ordinary coming together of people and
we see how many minutes it will be
before somebody frets-that is, makes
more or less complaining statement of
something or other, which most prob
ably everyone in the room or the car
or on the street corner knew before,
and which most probably nobody can
help. Why say anything about 1t? 1t
is cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry,
somebody has broken an appointment,
ill-cooked meal; stupidity or bad
faith somewhere has resulted in dis
comfort. There are plenty of things
to fret about. 1t is simply astopish-
ing how much annoyance and discom-
fort may be found in the course of
every days living. even at the
simplest, if one only keeps sharp eye
out on that side of things. Even Holy
Write says we are born to trouble as
sparks fly upward. But even to che
sparks flying upward, in the blaclsest
of smoke, there is blue sky above,
and the less time they waste on the
road the sooner they will reach 1t.
Fretting Is all time wasted on the
road.-Ielen Hunt.

TO HAVE PRETTY HANDS.
Simple Methods by Which They May be
Kept Soft and White.


Kept Soft and White.
Any woman can have pretty hands
who is willing to go to the least trou-
BILE with them. The hand is easily
nodded and can be shaped or whitened
or the texture changed almost at the
will Of the owner. In the first place
the hand has rounded palm and FIVE
graceful fingers that are bound to be
pretty, no matter how treated. The
only things to be done are to make the
flesh soft, the skin white and the nails
an oval which shall be becoming to the
style Of the hand. These are the most
difficult things to accomplish, unless
one knows exactly how, and the easiest
II the secret has been learned. But of
ultimate success there need be no doubt
The best hand bleach is pure soap.
Get enough to fill teacup when
shaved fnely-castile Is very good for
this-and melt with a pint of water
until 1t is thin soft soap. Add q
little cologne and set away to cool in
a big jar. Now. when washing the
hands, lather thickly with this soft
soap and hold them In water which is
only warm. Wash off the soap with
hot water and after shaking the hands
well dry them in box of cracked oat-
meal Rub softly until thoroughly dry
and then dust them lightly with q
towel, and If in one week the hands
are not beautifully white they may be
given up as the only hands in the
world that are wholly incorrigihle.
Bony hands, even, can be improved,
The skin of the hands is very suscepti-
ble to oils, and If mutton tallow, cream
or a quantity OF good almond oil is
diligently rubbed In twice day, for
ten minutes at time, in month the
hands will begin to be plump and
pretty. Vaseline is not SO good for
this, as on some skins it is apt to pro-
duce light though undesirable growth
of hair Lord Byron's old recipe for q
pretty nail still holds good: "a rose
leaf with crescent in It," And as
most rose leaves are oval let the nail
be as much that shape as possible; and
II you can shape 1t SO, let 1t curve at
the tip exactly as 1t does at the end
complish the oval After woman has
made her hands soft and white and
pretty she wants something else, and
that Something is the polish which still
continues to be fashionable among So
ciety beauties. In spite of the verdict
that the maniures are against 1t, II
takes longer to manicure q polished
nail than it does o dull one, but there
IL no doubt that it is more elegant
thus.-BostOn Post
