the people away or killed them when ever it could, or, standing by the wreck ed houses, it ate the grains and stores.
 This elephant seemed remarkably in- telligent. It entertained, in particular, a grudge against the watch towers or scaffolds. Whenever this rogue saw one, he would creep slyly, spring at it, push it to the ground, and kill it's oc- cupants,
 A famous rogue elephant named "Mandia" was owned by Q rich man near Jubbulpore in central India Sud denly it began to develop the character istics of a rogue" and attacked hu- man beings wherever seen. It killed them so cruelty that it became widely known as the ''man-eater." He was finally destroyed by an organized effort of English army officers
 Another famous rogue took possession O. a public road and attacked every passer-by. Suddenly darting from the jungle, it would rush up to an ox-cart, seize the driver with its trunk and dis appear. Repeated raids of this kind so terrified the people that large tract of land was to all intents and purposes deserted but finally an English hunter determined to rid the country of the rogue. By careful inquiry he found that the elephant always seized the driver, and if there were two carts in company, 1t chose the driver of the last. So he arranged two ox-carts, putting a dum- my driver upon the second, while upon the first was a stout bamboo cage in which the hunter was to sit rifle in hand. When all was ready the two OK carts started, one day, followed by the hopes and best wishes of the commun- ity, The fatal district was soon reach ed, and about halfway down the road, there came a crash!--and the mon- strous elephant, dark and ugly, dashed upon the party. Making directly for the last cart, with vicious swing of it's trunk, 1t seized up the dummy man and made off, receiving as it went a shot from the cage But the oxen. alarmed by the uproar, ran away, leav- ing the road and taking to the open country. They tipped the cart over, nearly killing the caged driver and the English sportsman. What the elephant thought when it tore the dummy into shreds must be imagined. Some months later. however, this rogue was driven away and caught,--C. F. Holder In St. Nicholas.

 n,,.s+ertes of ua.nsrts Cit, Explained.
 There are many tricks in the reper- loire of the so called electric or mag netfc girl. all of which seem, at first sight to involve either the possession of superhuman strength or else some occult mower. AS matter of fact. however, they involve neither. The stransest part of them is that they are all within the baility of any one to per- form. Furthermore 1t will be found that the very mechanical laws which these tricks appear to set at defiance are the ones upon which they depend for their success. and the chief reason why they have remained mysteries to those who have witnessed them Is that they have not tried to repeat them themselves upon the first opportunity afforded.
 Let us take the first mentioned, name ly, that of lifting q heavy person In the chair. Tell him to sit down and
 
 He will plant his feet firmly on the floor thus throwing his weight chiefly on his feet, instead of on the chair as he thinks he is doing. If you are in doubt of this, try it yourself and you will realize that it is fact. To move the person, all that the girl has to do is to get behind and push Tn the stoop- ing position which she assumes, she will obtain a considerable purchase by brac- ing her arms on her knees, and will thus have no difficulty in raising the chair slightly. As the sitter assumes a new position, so as to more successfully resist this effort on the part of the girl, she suddenly relaXes her push, direct ing the chair off to one side or the oth- CT. Before the sitter has recovered himself she has raised the chair again. and he is allowed to throw himself again, and so on; the stronger he is and the more he opposes or strives to oppose her, the worse he is off and the more successful she will be- The trick is more effective if three men try to hold the chair down, because of their divided effort and the tendency, where more than one is opposing her, for them really to oppose each other, rather than her. She will be perfectly powerless, however. should even single person sit listlessly in the chair, with no thought of opposition.-N. w. Perry in Cassiers.
