The Intelligent Elephont.

1t appears from trustworthy anec
dotes that the Asiatic elephants ia
few months of captivity acquire the
rules of conduct which it is necessary
to impose upon Them. The speedi-
ness of this intellectual subjugation
may be judged from the fact that,
after a short term Of domestication,
they will take a willing and intelli.
gent part in capturing their kindred
Of the wilderness, showing in this
work little or no disposition to reoin
the wild herds. In the case of NO
other animal do we find anything
like such an immediate adhesion to
the ways of civilization. We have
to account for this eminent peculiar
ity Of the elephant on the supposi-
tion, which appears to be thoroughly
justified, that the creature has, even
in its wild state, type Of intelli-
gence and instincts more nearly like
those Of man than is the case with
any other wild animal, and affinity
with human quality which is perhaps,
only approached by certain species of
birds. 1t appears from the observa-
tions of naturalists that the family
or tribe of wild elephants is a dis.
tinct and highly sympathetic COM
munity,

Bees and Honey.

In putting away empty combs for
future use, sprinkle a little dry salt
over and into them, and put them in
dry place, says the American Guilt
vator. This will help to keep out
the moth, and as it will shake out
when they are taken down for use it
will do no harm, and, in fact the
bees will like little salt. Although
it has often been asserted that the
honey bee gets no honey or nectar to
convert into honey from the blossoms
of the red clover, we do not consider
this proved, 1t may be that some Of
the stems of the bloom are not as
long as others, or that in some the
nectar rises higher, and certainly
this is apt to be the case with the
second crop clover, but it is very GER
tain that honey bees may always be
found in red clover field when in
bloom, while if they could obtain
nothing there, their instinct would
teach them to avoid it.
Some practical bee-keepers, who
measured the depth of the corolla of
the clover blossom, or the length Of
the bees proboscis, Though they may
know from experience the length Of
his sting, are very sure that they do
make honey from the red clover.
There are a great many patent bee
hives upon the market, and some
highly recommended that have not
been patented, but the hive that
suits the greatest number of expert
enced bee-keepers is the safest one
for the beginner to use until he has
had experience enough to suggest his
own improvements, Whatever the
form adopted use none but the best
stock, and have them well made by a
good workman.

The handling of a gun after the
sun had played upon it for an hour
or two was sufficiently warm work
when done in glngerly fashion, and
with the least possible contact with
the metal Of barrel or trigger guard:
and sudden clutching Of barrel sug-
gested collision with the wrong end
Of red-hot poker.
And the thirst! When once the man
who is out in that heat yields to the
temptation of his water, or cold tea
or lime Juice and water bottle, he is
thereafter for the rest of that day a
lost creature, the slave Of any fluid
with which he can wet his parching
lips and allay his Unsuitable thirst
Then would he drink kerosene or
ink, or sherry at eighteen pence a
quart, or an abomination that pos
sessed, in his view, the indispensable
qualification Of being liquid. So, too,
will the natiyes-the mahouts and
others-descend from the elephants,
and drink greedily from any fetid
pool, though death be in the cup -

A LlFE-sAvlNa KITE.
A Device for Connecting Wrecked Vessel
with the Shore.

Device for Connecting Wrecked Vessel
with the Shore.
Experiments were made with this
arrangement on some islands in the
East River, New York City, to test
its efficiency, says the Scientific
American, The kite employed in the
test was constructed Of three sticks,
each seven feet long, so Joined that
the arrangement can be folded into a
small package Of convenient shape.
Oiled musl n IS used for covering, and
the tail is made Of clothesline knot
ted in loops,
In sending up the kite, which Is
designed to stand "a wind OF fifty
miles an hour the three bride strings
on each side are connected to a sin
gle line each OF which leads to a
separate reel, provided with a brake
and ratchet, as shown in the detailed
view. by means Of the cord the kite
can be held at almost any angle to
the wind.
The weight Of the buoy is a little
less than the lifting power Of the
kite when the forward movement of
the latter is arrested, so that ordi-
narily the buoy will be held down to
the water by the life line, although
the kite can drag it over reefs, bars
and floating spars, distractions which
stop such devices as self-propelling

When Harry was 6 years old his
grandfather sent him very nice
present from the farm. You cannot
guess what it was, so | will tell you.

Harry to drive him. Harry named
him Gypsy because he was 50 black
Gypsy and Harry had a great many
good times together. He would draw
Harry to school and then wait very
patiently under the shade of tree
till school was out. All the school
children were very fond of him, and
would bring him sweet apples and
cake.
The teacher was fond of Gypsy,
too, and would often bring sugar to
him, but she never let Gypsy have it
until he had performed one of the
tricks the boys had taught him. He
must either stand on his head Low
OF dance Gypsy could do all these.
One day Gypsy did something very
funny. 1t was very hot day, and
Harry thought he would unharness
him and let him roam around the
schoolyard.
What do you think Gypsy did? He
walked into the schoolhouse straight
up to the teacher and stood on his
head. He was begging for sugar

scholars and said: Gypsy, you have

The Causes off Fntnting.

Painting proceeds from different
causes, the most common being a dis
turbance Of the circulation Of the
blood in the brain. For an ordinary
fainting fit lay the patient rat. Great
harm has often resulted from The
treatment by ignorant persons In try
ing to make the patient sit up, or
propping up the head on pillows.
To send the blood back from the
heart to the brain, the flat posture is
absolutely necessary. Let the patient
lie so that the feet are higher than
head, throw the clothes about the
chest and throat open, sponge the
face with cold water and give some
cold water to drink.

however, is that his first price given
to local merchant is his last and
only one. There is no going in the

the invariable rule, it saves much la

more diplomacy.
Everything is done for the comfort

The Lawn-MOwer Principle Applied to n
Planning Tool.
Applying the lawn.mower principle
to the making Of a planning tool, a
Scotch engineer, Malcolm Suther-
land, Of Dumbarton, has designed
the rather unique piece of apparatus
shown In the annexed sketch, and
consisting, in brief, Of an electrically
driven revolving cutter mounted in
frame on rollers, which, by means
Of handles, can be moved about in
exactly the same way and quite as
easily, it is claimed, as the garden
tool mentioned, The lawn-mower
resemblance, In fact, is perfect, The
frame, or rather base plate, is OF
steel, and carries the cutter on its
under side, while the motor is placed
on top and drives the cutter through
Intervening gear wheels, giving i a
speed Of 8, 900 revolutions per minute.
The hind roller Of the base plate,
which follows in the cut, is fitted
with eccentric journals, so that, by
moving a lever, they can be raised or
lowered, and the depth Of cut nicely
adjusted. The principal field Of the
machine-the one, in fact, for which
it was specially designed-is the

whose popular name is the ink-pIant.
Its juice is ready-made ink. At first
the writing looks reddish, but it be-
comes deep black in the course of a
few hours. 1t will not harm steel
pens; aud letters written with it, If
soaked in water even for long time

The plants are poisonous, however,
so that this natural ink will never
take the place of the common or

HACKING q 11andoar.

There are fortunate beings who be-
lieye that they possess all necessary
comforts TO- days trip when they
are provided with a comb, tooth
brush, and nightgown. But these
persons are few and far between, and
most women find that even for an
over, night visit they want the entire
contents Of their toilet tables and a
large part OF their wardrobes.
A bag should hold a niGhtgown, of
course. If the traveller is to spend a
night Gu the train the night dress
should be- instead Of the usual cam
brio affair, dark silk negligee, which
would be presentable in case of The al
ways-to- be-considered accident The
bag should also contain a pair Of
bed room slippers In the linen case
the comb and brush, tooth and nail
brushes, and nail tiie and polisher
should be packed. These cases are
made so that they fold into remark
ably small compass. AS usual thing
the dainty woman will carry asponge
and her own small cake Of soap This
prevents dependence upon the uncer.
tain soaps of railway trains and even
Of ones friends
Besides these the handbag should
contain a supply Of handkerchefs
large enough to last until trunks are
again available. A clean collar and
a pair Of cuffs are a necessity for the
woman who wears collars add cuffs,
while a clean shirt waist can be
rolled into a small bundle and will be
found convenience. These, with a
tightly-stoppered bottle Of ammonia
and Of her fayorite toilet water will
complete the list Of necessities which
should be packed in handbag.

coins issued by Private Minis.

The constitution Of the United
States provides that no State shall
coin money: but it seems that in
dividuals might do so, up till about
the time of the late civil war. Of
course, it has always been against
the law to counterfeit or initiate the
coinage Of the United States, and 50,
necessarily, coin issued by a prl-
vate mint would have to be so dis
tinct in shape or markings as to show
that it was not intended to pass as
Federal money For this reason the
$50 dollar gold coins or tokens issued
by several private minis in California
during the flush times of the sos
were octagonal in shape.
Gold coins were also Issued by the
Mormons of Utah at about the same
time, and the same thing had been
done by parties in Georgia and North
Caroline.
Probably the latest OF these pri-
