''There is a marvellous amount Of
lying in the society columns Of some
newspapers" remarked IN old news
paper man to the delegate. 81 will
give you one remarkable Instance.
Several years ago I noticed an item
to the effect that a business man and
his wife were about to visit relatives
In the east, including a well known
professor. Now I had wanted to know
something about the latter, who was
a rising star in the scientific world,
and has since become n Of the great
est inventors Of the age. / went to
the business man, but as soon as l be-
gan my inquiries he showed a great
embarrassment. He finally admitted
he did not know him, but that he was
a relative Of his wife. / went to the
latter, so anxious was I to learn all I
could about the professor, and the
wife told me that she had not the
pleasure of meeting him. but expected
to, as he was a relative Of her husband.
/ said nothing more, but left. And yet
nearly every year since l have seen
the old item appear in the society col

tives In the east, including the eminent

Elephant and Rat.

That q rat should put an elephant to
wild and ignominious flight seems more
absurd even than that a mouse should
terrify a woman; but there may be
cases, as a recent occurrence at San
Francisco seems to prove, In which a
rat has an elephant at a decided advan-
tage.
An elephant named jess. belonging
to a menagerie which was recently at
San Francisco, Is well known as one Of
the most docile elephants In America.
She is very large, but has always been
as gentle and manageable as vas the
great Jumbo himself, the king of ele-
plants, who was never SO happy as
when carrying children on his back.
This being her disposition, Jess keep
ers were greatly astolished one morn
ing to see her break her chains, rush
madly about, upset cages and every
thing that came in her way, escape
into the streets, and apparently engage
In a mad pursuit of people there.
Though Jess appeared to have be-
come suddenly crazy, her keepers pur-
sued her as best they could, and pres
emily found that she really wanted to
see them. Then they perceived that
she was not the victim Of rage, but Of
terror.
Her chief attendant, approaching
very near, saw some small thing pro-
jecting from the extremity of her trllk.
He seized it and pulled it out, and then
very quickly threw it away. 1t was a
live rat!
This animal had somehow crept into
Jess trunk, and the elephant had been
unable to get it out. As Don as she
was relieved Of the rat, she made every
sign Of gratitude to her keeper, and
permitted herself to be led back to
her place in the m~enagerie. .

Prof. Roth of Switzerland purchased
butter from 20 different sources repre-

with this butter. In Is series Of ex-

lowed by tuberculosis. In other words,

If you own a good dog do not kick
