ELEPHANTS NOT DOCILE.

They Have Mean Instincts at Times and
Are Arrant Cowards.
How very uncertain the docility Of
an elephant may be and how revenge
may be substituted for that quality
was illustrated in an event that is fresh
in my mind, says Blaclswood's Maga-
zine. A manhout tried to drive his
elephant into the center of newly
excavated tank. The elephant found
out with his trunk that hole of some
depth was just below it and would not
move. The mahout persisted and urged
the recalcitrant elephant with the iron
goad (the gujbag), and after short
conflict the elephant seized the mahout
with his trunk, dragged him off his
seat on his neck and, placing him be-
low his forefeet, trampled the life out
of him.
The animal had some reason for be-
ing annoyed by it's driver, but there is
nothing to be said in eXtenuation of
another elephant, that, apropos Of moth
ing, tossed me with it's tusk. was feed

LIKED THE GUITAR.
A White Rat Who Was Very Wise and
Fond of Music.

A White Rat Who Was Very Wise and
Fond of Music.
Solomon was large white rat, who
lived in an artists studio in New York.
He received his name because of his
wisdom and his solemn face.
His companion was known as Jum-
per, and never did anything remark
able except jumping. But Solomon
was always doing wonderful things.
Solomon's mistress declared that his
whiskers were longer, more delicate
and whittier than those of any other rat
that ever lived, but mistresses are apt
to say such things of their favorites.
Other people saw nothing wonderful
about Solomon, so far as his appear
ance was concerned.
Solomon was as trustworthy as @
dog. He refrained from nibbling the
curtains and rich stuffs that were scat
tered about the studio, and was most
particular not to take cheese or rich
cake up on the sofa, where he was al
lowed to play and sleep when his paws
were clean. Jumper had to be given
away because of his nibbling propensi-
ties.
Now, it SO happened that a friend of
Solomon's mistress had some rats, a
father and mother aad seven children.
One night stray cat found her way
to their cage and ate Up the old rats.
Perhaps she satisfied her appetite with
them, % maybe she thought she would
leave the little ones,till they were big
ger and their bones would be better
worth picking. AT any rate, the seven
poor little things were left orphans.
Their master found him in the morn
ing, squealing and trembling, and was
sorely puzzled what to do with them.
The scrub woman suggested that they
should be drowned, but the artist sud-
denly remembered his friend, the pret-
E black-eyed young lady who owned
Solomon, SO he appealed to her.
Solomon's mistress agreed to adopt
them, and the cage aas taken into her
| rooms.
Solomon stared and then went eau
tiously up to the newcomers. He soon
showed signs of joy at their arrival,
and, to the astonishment of those who
watched him, thinking that in spite of
his former goodness he might be can
nibal at heart and would take advan-
tage of the occasion, he Immediately

Ry Following Directions Any Youngsters
Can Make Tool Chest.
A tool chest is simple thing to make,
and there is really no good reason why
every boy should not have one of his
own.
Almost any kind of box with a
hinge cover will answer for tool
chest, in which trays can be arranged
to hold tacks, nails and small tools,
such as bits, gimlets, compasses and
nail punches.
The illustration shows a good and
substantial tool chest that can be made
at small cost.
Find a strong box made of smooth
boards at least three-quarters of an inch
in thickness. 1t should be about twen-
ty-six inches long, sixteen inches wide
and twelve inches high, and provided
with cover. If, however, you cannot
get good box of these proportions you
can make one of smooth-tongued and
grooved boards. Construct box care

coaxed them to snuggle down by his
side, as their mother would have done.
When they were allowed to run about
he watched them and taught them

might not go, running after any wild
youngster who strayed behind screens

Most animals have at least one sharp

the fable. lay in dark room. "Hark!

"Oh, no." said the cat; sit was q

true of demesticated horses, the wild
horse of the South American pampas
possesses most acute and far-reach-
ing sense of smell.
Mr.. Hudson, says Youths Compan-

renee for the horses of district, in
seasons of drought, to migrate sudden
ly to some distant place-fifty miles
away, perhaps-where rain has fallen.
A slight breeze from that quarter is
enough to set them off.
A still more striking phenomenon is,
he says, familiar to every frontiers
man.
The gaucho horse has the greatest
terror of an Indian invasion, and long
before the marauders reach the settle.

days journey from it-all the horses
take the alarm, and come flying wildly
in. The horned cattle quickly fee
the contagion, and general stampede
ensues.
The gauchos declare that the horses
smell the Indians, and Mr.. Hudson be
lieves they are right. When passing 9
distant Indian camp, from which the
wind blew, all the horses driven be
