Vicious Elephants.

How very uncertain the docility OF an
elephant may be- and how revenge may b
substituted for that quality, was illustrat-
ed by an event that is fresh in my mind
A mahout tried to drive his elephant into
the center of newly exeavated tank. The
elephant found out with its trunk that
hole of some depth was just before it and
would not move. The mahout persisted
and urged the recalcitrant elephant with
the iron goad (the gujbagl, and after
short conflict the elephant seized the ma
hout with its trunk, dragged him off his
seat on it's neck, and placing him below
his forefeet trampled the life out of him.
This animal had some reason for being
annoyed by its driver, but there is nothing
to be said in extenuation of another ele
plant that, apropos of nothing, tossed me
with it's tusk. was feeding that brute in
the eventide, when the days work was
DONE and this toiler, with others, had to
be tended and encouraged. l was feeding
it with delicacies dear to the elephantine
palate, and without rhyme or reason that
dociie and intelligent creature butted me
into the air, no doubt with benevolent
intention of impaling me that was frus
trated by my offering no resistance to the
tusk and by the bluntness of that weapon

An Emperor's Courage.

Here is story told of the courage o.
Emperor Francis II of Austria. One arm
of the Danube separates the city of Vienna
from a large suburb called Leopold-stadt
A thaw inundated this suburb, and the
ice carried away the bridge of communi
cation with the capital. The population
of Leopold-stadt was in great distress for
want of provisions. A number of boats
were collected and loaded with bread, but
no one felt hardy enough to risk the pas
sage, which was rendered extremely dan
gerous by large bodies of ice Emperor
Francis stood at the waters edge. He
begged, exhorted, threatened and prom
ised the highest recompenses, but all in
vain, while on the other shore his sub
jects, furnishing with hunger, supplicated
relief The monarch's sensibility at length
got the better of his prudence. He leaped
singly into boat loaded with bread and
applied himself to the oars, exclaiming,
"Never shall it be said that made no eff
fort to save those who would risk their all
for mer' The example of the sovereign in
famed the spectators, who threw them
selves into the boats. They encountered
the sea successfully and gained the sub

How a poroupine Fight. Snake.

"Several years ago was an interested
spectator at a combat between hedgehog
and huge blaeksnake," said W. d. In
graham of Memphis. 81 came upon the
scene just as the hedgehog began the at
tack upon the snake, which was lying
stretched out on the road asleep. The hog
advanced cautiously upon the reptile and
seized it's tail in it's mouth, giving it
sharp bite. Then he quickly Withdrew
few feet, and rolling himself into a COM
pact, spiny ball awaited Developments.
The snake, upon being thus rudely awak-
ened, turned in fury upon it's antagonist,
striking the hog again and again with its
fangs. The willy hedgehog, securely in
trenched within its spiny armor, remained
perfectly motionless all the while, allow
ing the snake to keep up the attack. At
every stroke the jaws of the snake would
become filled with the spines, until, at
last, exhausted and bleeding from dozens
of wounds caused by the needlelike spines
of the hog, the snake gave up the battle.
This was evidently what the hedgehog was
waiting for, as he Immediately proceeded
to roll over the snake again and again IN
til he had completely disemboweled his
victim. ST. Louis Globe Democrat.

thing to put on that lip of yours. 1t is
great thing to promote the growth of new
skin. just brush that lip with collodlon,

continued warningly, ''you want to be

the action of collodion, and he told me te

picked out camel's hair brush. Then
painted those lips in way that no mans
lips were ever painted before. just dab

Pretty soon I had them all fixed out, and
then the accident occurred. Holy Moses

Alexander III. stephens Generosity.

Speaking of Alexander H. Stephens,
whom he knew personally, Richard Nal
colin Johnston says that he was not a good
Judge of men. 1.-THE poorest, meanest,
shabbiest negro could impose upon hi1n,
and he was deceived again and again by
beggars and frauds. He was the soul
of generosity. He made, / venture, as
as much as $soo,0 during his lifetime,
but he died poor. He spent his money as
fast as he made it, and he didn't seem to
appreciate its value. His law practice was
large during great part of his life, and
he received great deal of money from his
books. His Constitutional Views of the
War must have sold about 10000 copies.
It was published in two volumes. His
royalty was 35 cents a volume, and his re-
ceipts from it amounted to $35, 900. He
kept open house at Liberty Hall, his place
In Georgia, and every train brought him
guests, some o4swhom he had never met
before He was fond of society, and he was
, most charming talker. Detroit Free

Miseriae afltha Red Sea.

In the waters Of the Red sea the cessa-
ton of the engines on steamer for an
hour means extreme physical suffering for
passengers; for day it would involve alb
solute torture. The wind which prevails
every day is hot, asphyxiating blast, and
it's continuous directions are from north
and south toward the center. As result
every passing vessel is subjected to two
days of almost intolerable heat, followed
by two days of comparative comfort, but
instances have been known of crowded
liners being compelled, when travelling
with the wind, to turn round and steam
back for an hour or so in order to give the
passengers even brief respite from the
sufferings induced by the dull, dead, I'M
bearable atmospheric Tit-Bits.
