/ have seen q baby placed by it's mother
systematically under the elephants care

mother went TO fetch water or to get
wood or material to cook the family

likely to pick up and carry OF a baby

a life In the Jungle know how very pos
sible it is for a jaclSal OF wolf to carry
on a baby when lying In a hat when the
mothers back is turned.
The children thus brought up in the
companionship Of an elephant become
familiar with him and take all kinds Of
liberties with him, which tho elephant
seems to endure on tho principle that It
does not hurt him, while it amuses tho
child. You see a little naked black child
about 2 feet high standing on the ele-
plants bare back and taking It down to
the water to battle, shouting all the time
in the most unbecoming terms Of native
abusive language.
On arriving at the water the elephant,
ostensibly In obedience to the child's
command, lies down and enjoys HIM

amounting to 500. OF, which had not
been entered in his passbook, and the

The balance went ON accommodating
dividends until 1875, when it became a
dormant account and ceased TO draw in

&343. %. Efforts were made without
success to find him. He had become
very poor, was too old and feeble TO go

ASPARAGUS AND RHuBARp BEDS.

It is an excellent time to fix the
beds of asparagus and rhubarb before
the ground is solidly frozen. The
beds should be completely cleared of
weeds, and a light plowing with the
hand plow will do this as quickly as
may be done with a horse pillow, for
only the surface needs to be plowed
three inches deep. All the weeds and
trash and the old stems are to bo re-
moved, then the manure spread evenly
until the ground is wholly covered.
The same is needed for the rhubarb,
except that four or five year.old roots
should be taken up and divided and
replanted. in addition to the cleaning
and manuring of the ground. The
stools should then be heaped over
with manure and brush, CT other pro-
lection ON this, so that the first
warmth of the ground in the spring
will start an early growth OF some OF
the roots selected for this purpose.
A supply of this most desirable
vegetable may be secured for use in
the winter by taking up few roots
and potting them in boxes in the cellar,
keeping the soil moist, and thus fore.
