During n recent religious festival nj
Alvartirunagari, on the banks OF the
Tambramini, terrible tragedy was
enacted by an elephant. Like most
large temples it has its periodical fes-
tivals, Que of which has just been cell
ebrated. Certain elephants were
brought down from Nungunerian and Tin
nevelly for the festivities of the occa-
sion. All went smoothly till unfortu
natly the large elephant of Nuuguneri,
being i'll rut, ran amuck.
The mahout unwittiugly took up a
little child (son of the Temple Darn
akartha) and placed it IN front of him
on the neck of the elephant. Alarmed
at the state of the elephant the mahout
endeavored quietly to pass the child
out of danger 10y handing it to some.
body behind. He was not quick
enough to elude the sagacity of the
elephant, which snatched up the child,
put 1t into hls mouth and began
munching 1t. The mahout, Mortified
Mt the sight, jumped down and tried
to eXtricate The child, which he sue
ceeded in doing, but not before the
child was well nigh dead. Indeed 1t
only breathed for a few minutes after
ward and then expired.
Enragod beyond all bonds the AMI
NAL became furious, and IN its mad
rage seized the mahout, dashed him to
the ground and then trampled out any
little breath that might have still re.
mained i'll his body. And here comes
a strange and touching incident. he.
pentlng seemingly of his awful mis-
deed, the elephant gathered up what
was the moment before his master,
proceeded to his (the mahout's) house,
and depositing his mournful burden,
passed ON. The people generally il
great dread closed all their doors anC
windows.
The elewhant wildly rushed along
the streets and came to the temple,
the door OF which, too, had been
closed. 1t thereupon battered the
door, and passing into the enclosure
furiously attacked the little elephant
of Tinnevelly, which it pierced witt
its tusks and soon killed. Emerging
thence, the animal rushed madlJ
along to the river close by, where il
began throwing mud and sand all ovei

An Indian Fighters Wonderful Es-
cape - An Elephant Tragedy
Fisherman's Fight With a Shark.
" ETWEEN Beaverton, the coun-
K ty seat of Beaver County,
4 Pennsylvania, situated near
Z the site of old Fort Mcintosh
and the village of Poland, in Trumbull
County, Ohio, is n long steep hill,
called "Brady's Hill" 1t took its
name from an interesting border adj
venture which occurred near its base
about the year 1777.
Captain Samuel Brady, in the DAYS
of the Revolutionary War, lived on the
western borders of Pennsylvania.
He held commission from the Con-
gress of the United States, and for n
part OF the time commanded com
pany of Rangers, who traversed the
country below Pittsburg, bordering
tho Ohio River. His hatred of the
Indians was intense-his father, one
brother, wife and three children hav-
ing been slnin by the sqvages. When
ever an Indian came within reach of
his rifle a death cry was sure to ring
out.
While on an adventurous trapping
expedition on the waters of the Beaver
or MahoniDg the Indians surprised
him and took him prisoner. They
determined to satiate their revenge by
burning him at slow fire, after MAX
ing him 'ruu the gauntlet" of all the
Indians of their village. He was there
fore taken to their encampment. on
the right bank of the Beaver, about
two miles from its mouth. The cere-
mony of the gauntlet was gonc through
with, II fire was prepared, by which
Brady was placed, stripped naked and
his arms unbound. Around him the In
diaus formed large circle of men,
women and children, dancing. yelling
and uttering threats and abuse, pre-
yious to tying him to the stake.
In the midst of their rejoicing the
squaw Of one of the chiefs came near
him, carrying n child in her arms.
Quick rs thought Brady snatched it
from her and threw it into the midst
OF the flames. As the Indians, hor-
ror-struck, rushed to its rescue, great
confusion resulting. Brady darted
from the circle, overturning all that
came in his way, and rushed into the
th:ckets with the Indians yelling at
his heels. He assembled the steep side
OF the hill amid the discharge of fifty
rifles, md sprang down the opposite
declivity into the deep ravine. His
knowledge of the country and Won
deriul activity and strength enabled
him to elude his enemies, and reach
the settlements on the south side of
the Ohio. lie lived many years after
this escape, and gratiied his hatred
by killing numbers of his foes in sew
eral encounters which ensued. Gin

he and Applebee caught sight of each
other. Then the fish gave dash
downward and seaward
Applebee was thrown on his back in
the bottom of the skiff, and when he
picked himself up he was going toward
Long Island as fast rs though he was
hitched to the stern of the Defender
i'll ten-knot broeze. He seized the
oars and began pulling shoreward,
and after hard struggle succeeded in
bringing the shark to stapdstill.
81 couldn't pull him ashore, and I
wasn't going to lose that net" he
says. He again pulled the big fish
nearly to the surface and made tho
net secure to one of the tIiwarts.
Then he began to prod the shark with
boathook and inflicted several
wounds. The monster made one des
perate lunge to escape and over went
the sl1if, throwing Applebee into the
water.
It was only waist deep, and as he
still had grip on the boathook, he
made fierce assault on the shark.
The fish was entangled in the net and
could not clear itself, but it made one
lash of it's tail that sent its assailant
head over heels. Applebee saw that
the fish was tirlng, and finally it half
rolled over and the fisherman killed it.
He towed the monster ashore and
the country people for miles around
drove in to look Mt it with open
mouths. The shark measured within
an inch of eight feet. 1t was not n
maneater, but of the variety known
as the "thrasher' shark.

Charged by II She Gear.

Jacob Peshal, of Ramapo, N. Y,
had thrilling experience with bear
in the Ramapo Mountains. He was
searching for a COW when he came
across n couple of bear cubs. While
Peshal was fondllng the animals their
mother, whom he had not observed,
charged upon him. He ran down the
mountain side, but stumbled and fell.
The bear was going at such rate OF
speed that it jumped over him. The
man was greatly relieved at this point
in the fight to see party of hunters
approaching. One of them fired at
Bruin and killed the beast.
1t is very seldom now that these
animals are discovered in the Rama
pos, and this one is regarded as Gu
riosity. The cubs were found few
feet from the scene of Peshal's en-
counter and were sold to travelling
circus.

We use rock salt in large Jumps for
the horses, writes L. L. Terry. Each
horse has II limp before him all the
time, to lick from as he may want it.
We salt our cows in the barn at milk
ing time, once day. That is, little
salt, say heaping teaspoonful, is put
before every COW each morning to eat
if she wants it. 1t is put right on the
cement feeding floor. A little salt
daily aids digestion in the COW or
horse and waters the milk in legiti-
mate way. Sailing freely once week
is not the best way, any more than it
would be for us to eat all our salt for
the week every Sunday morning. In
fact, | believe that salt thus fed is
often an injury, as well as an advan-
tage. Stock need salt as well as food,
but it should be given them in n
proper way. Fed i'll the stable, as we
do, each COW has her own, and cannot
be robbed by some boss COW, to the
injury of both. Practical Farmer.

LoNG-HAND1ED FORK FOR BRUSH.

When piling brush use long-han-
died fork. In no other place are the
advantages of long handle over n
short one more apparent. To lift and
stretch in vain to make a forkful of
brush swing clear of the earth is the
severest labor known. Brush often
contains grape and other running
vines, as we'll as briers, which make
it hard to handle. A short handle
has convinced many persons that
brush cannot be handled by fork,
but such is not the case. Clear up
and burn everything in the form OF
brush before snow falls. After the
snow is gone IN spring work will be
pressing, and the clearing has to wait
until after haying, to the detriment
of the mowings. American Agricul-
