ELEPHANT DIES OF GRIEF.
Big Animal In the Plow Works Meets Deaf
Pc -uliarly.

People do not generally associate that
bulky mountain of flesh, the elephant,
with gentle sentiment.
1t Will be surprising, then, to learn that
George, the big AsiatIc elephant, of Howe
az Cushing's circus, ALTERNATING in the
Gilbert PIow works, died yesterday from
Erief-simple brain-splitting, heart-rend-
ing, wet-eyed grief.
George has always been an elephant of
pessimlstic leanings-his humor has run
10 sarcasm. and his joys to cynicism.
he weighed 1000 pounds. cost s.. 500. and
for fifteen long years had quietly stuffed
his bosom with big, dry wads of juiceiess
hay. and Incidentally kept his eye peeled
to swipe any member OF the human race
who happened to get in the same school
district with his trunk.
IL was This yearning to swipe his friends
netween the vernlform appendix and the
LEI hand back suspender button that
hnaiiy resulted in George taking n tear
1ui alden OF this vaiuglOriouS sphere and
landing on the golden shore.
Sunday evening the new trainer from
Chicago took George in hand to instill
some domesticity into his hide, as he be-
came anarchistic during tue winter.
IL WAS while tie trainer was explaining
to his associates just how the hing could

lnto the trainers anatomy with great
rapidity, and lifted him about ten feet in
the air. In the course of human events
the trainer came down in "A heap

MacMahon said to reporter for tue

Somebody has raked up an old ordinance
that Is some day likely to cause trouble to
the undertakerS.
The ordinance Ii No. 27s. and the section
which is neglected reads as follows:
THAT 10 burial or int-rment shall be
lawful in the city of Wichita, nor shall
any human dead body be removed from
said city until a permit for such burial
intermens or removal shall have been first
obtained from the city clerk of said city,"
The ordinance was passed by the coun-
Gil, as il has been by every other city of any
size in the land. Ii was made in order 70
prevent any person dying OF Contagious
disease being buried in a careless manner,
or to prevent anyone from being buried
the cause of whose death was uncertain,
and consequently needed a coroner's in
quest 1t is also necessary TO Keep reco I'd
OF the dead.
The trouble with the uudertakers has
been that they file their certificates after
the person is buried, and generally quite
while afterwards. One batch of these GER
tif1cates was not filed for three mouths,
and many run little less-
The penalty for tine violation OF this or
dinRnce IS stated rs follows: THAT any
undertaken or sexton aud each aud every
other person engaged or concerned in
burial ia violation OF the provisions Of this
ordinance and the officers and employees of
any transportation company or any other
party or parties engaged or concerned In
the removal Of dead body from said city
in violation of the provisions OF this ordi-
nance shall be subjected TO \ fine Of not
less than SO nor more than 500 for each
offense.
During 1890. 403 deaths happened in the
city. in 1891. 22l. in 1892. 34l and In 1888,
400, making total of 1865 deaths in four
years. II the lowest limit Of the fine were
used this would amount to S13,650, with
the six former years TO nearly twice that
sum.
The board of health asked the under.
takers to file their certificates and obtain
their permits as the law required, but as
no improvement in that direction was
made they are investigating the matter.
The probability is that il will come up

GROWN BY THE ANCIENTS.

Asparagus Il . Vegetable with Some.
thing Of . Pedigree.
OF all the plants used for food, there
is none which has been so long known,
or has had, so to say. so distinguished
lineage as asparagus, says Chambers
Journal Its record. in fact, reaches
back to almost the commencement Of
authentic history, as 1t Is mentioned
by the comic poet Cratinus, who died
about 425 B. c., and was a contem-
porary of. though slightly older than,
Aristophanes.
Among the Romans, olso, the tasty
vegetable was held in high esteem.
Cato the elder-not the gentleman who
was of opinion that Plato reasoned
well, but his great-grandfather, who
insisted upon the destruction OF Car
thage, and who was born 2S4 +. c.
wrote a work which is still extant,
"De Re Rustica," and in 1t he treats at
length of the virtues and proper culti-
vation Of asparagus. Pliny, also. in
his Natural History" (about 60 A. ID. J,
has much to say on the subject. "Of
all the productions Of your garden" he
feelingly observes, ''your chief care
will be your asparagus" and he de-
votes several chapters and parts Of
chapters to its many beneficent quail
ties and the best modes of raising it.
He asserts that, even in his day, the
BOIL about Ravenna was SO favorable to
its production that three heads grown
In that district had been known to
weigh Roman pound. As, however,
this pound seems to have been equal to
only about eleven Of our ounces, 1t
would apparently have required four
of the stocks to reach a pound OF our
weight; but this result, considering
the state of horticulture In those days,
may be looked upon as wonderful
enough, and has, in point OF fact, only
been equaled In our own times.
