steeI-Worl<s shut Down.

BRADDOCK. PA. May A.-The Edgar
Thompson Steel-W Works closed down this
morning in all departments but one. but
that will likely close to-day or tomorrow.
The cause is lack OF iron and coke. The
scarcity OF iron results from the shut
down Of so many furnaces. Two more
were blown out this morning. making
eight in all. Furnace G, which makes
manganese. will be compelled TO close to-
day or tomorrow.
The blowing out Of so many furnaces
and the consequent scarcity of iron may
cause shutdown OF the Carnegie plants
at Duquesne. Pittsburg. and Beaver Falls,
throwing over 10000 men in all out of
employment. over 800 are now idle.

Why People Living Together Grow
TO Resemble Each other.

LFrom Blackwoods Magazine.1
The fact that two people who live long
together tend to grow alike is accounted
for by unconscious minnicIy reacting upon
the muscles of expression in the same
way that a ruling passion does This ten
dency to facial imitation is very general
in fact, almost univerSal-and may be
so marked as TO be easily noticed; SO that
when two people are engaged in animated
conversation, the expression of the lis
tener may often be seq tc echo that of
the speaker. How infectious is a smile
or a laugh, even when the idea which
gave rise to it in the first case is not
transferred.
Several times when talking to young
people, have suddenly and purposely
adopted some change of expression, such
as the raising of the eyebrows; and this,
although not the least apropos to the
evoked a like movement on the face be-
fore me. The response was quite inVolun-
tary and was Il pure piece of instructive
reflex action. Why does a yawn spread
like pestilence through the room when
conversation flags? j know of those VINO
have started such an epidemic by a little
piece of acting, and not mouth IN the
company (save the guilty one) knew why
it gaped Have not we all noticed that a
man of marked individuality becomes a
centre of physical influence to those who
tones of voice and turns Of phrase are re-
produced? / know a tutor whose pecul-
iarities of speech and carriage have been
adopted more or less by every one OF his
rtlrils during the last six years, and sew
eral of them have come to resemble him
in feature. This unconscious imitation of
expression is very noticeable IN chlldren.
Has it occurred to many careful parents
that the good looks of their daughters
may depend in no slight degree upon
their choice of nurse girls and govern

AN ELEPHANT AT AUCTION.
from the Gentleman's Magazine
I rennannher once an claimant Was he

From the Gentleman's Magazine.J
1 remember once an elephant was be
ing sold by auction in execution of a.
decree, and for some reason or other it
had not it's proper ''mahout," or driver,
on its back. The sale was taking place
on the large open ground or plain
around the Courts, and a small crowd
had assembled to listen to the bidding.
What with the noise and the absence
of it's proper keeper, the animal began
to show signs of irritation, which of
course only increased the excitement
and the noise among the people. Sud-
denly it ran at one of the spectators,
knocked him down, and was proceeding
to tread the life out Of him, when one
of it's grass cutters" standing by,
struck it with a spear and drove it off,
The driver on it's back then got fright
ened and, watching his opportunity as
the elephant went under a tree, seized
hold of a branch and swung himself
up. The elephant tried once or twice
to push the tree down, but not being
able to do this, it wandered about in
the thorough enjoyment of it's liberty,
at every turn of its body sending the
panic-stricken but still curious people,
now collected in large, numbers, scam
pering in all directions
Soon it came upon a dog cart belong
ing to one of the judges clerks, who
had probably left his work to see the
spectacle. The horse had been taken
out, and the elephant, lifting the whole
vehicle up in its trunk, with as much
ease apparently as L should lift a small
terrier by the scruff of the neck, let it
fall with crash to- the ground By
this time every one who had any de-
scription of a vehicle within the vicinity
and could get away began to drive off
as fast as possible. The Courts became
demoraHzed, all turning out to witness
what would next take place. The
grass cutter went to the animal.
which, though he suffered him to ap-
proach, would by no means allow him
to get on his back or to control him in
any way. The police sent around a
notice to the few European bungalows
it being near the time for the evening
drive-to the effect that they should
stay at home, or look out for the ele-
plant. There was no need to proclaim
the danger to the native bazaar, though
believe it was done, as the news
would spread far faster in its natural
course.
The courts suspended work for the
day, not only because it was near the
time to do so, but because it was i'm
possible to stop occasional stampedes
into them by frightened crowds at
evey new movement of the elephant
and because every one was in too ex-
cited a state to do any business. At
last another elephant, which was kept
at the police lines" arrived on the
scene, with chains and a number of
men armed with spears to capture the
truant, but Immediately it caught sight
of it's would-be captors it turned tar
and bolted, with it's pursuers following,
and was not secured until early the
next morning. about thirty miles dis
tant, by its proper "mahout''
