The Teeth of Elephants.

whoever has looked inside an ele-
plants mouth has seen a strange
sight, said an elephant trainer ."'Ele.
plants have no front teeth, and they
never eat flesh or any food that re-
quires tearing apart. Eight teeth are
all they have, two above and below on
each side. huge yellow molars as wide
as mans hand and couple of inches
thick. Over these hay or fodder is
shifted by the queerest, ugliest tongue
in the whole animal kingdom. tongue
that is literally hung at both ends,
having no power of movement
except in the middle, where it
shifts back and forth from side
to side, arching up against
the roof of the big mouth like an inn
mense wrinkling, pink serpent. There
is nothing stranger than the working
of an elephants tongue, unless it be
the working of his breathing appara-
tus when he sleeps. Elephants, like
human beings. have two sets of teeth:
the milk teeth, which are smaller
than the permanent molars, fall out
when the animals are about fourteen
years old. These baby teeth, which
are nevertheless enormous, are occa.
sionally picked up by circus men
among the fodder and preserved as
curiosities. Such thing as an ele.
plant having the toothache or a de.
cayed molar is absolutely unknown

She Seems to Have Enjoyed Her Trip

"We arrived in st. Paul from the
West just before breakfast. and after a
pleasant ride on Summit avenue took the
Day Express via The North Western
Line for Duluth. This line certainly rep
resents the highest type Of modern perfec.
tion IN railway accommodations. We were
ushered into the luxurious Parlor Car, most
elegantly and comfortably furnished with
velvet carpet, easy chairs and foot stools,
which all seemed to solve the problem of
comfort and luxury while travelling. A
beautiful drawingroom is at the disposal of
sleepy travellers, where, on downy pillows
and with curtains drawn, they can enjoy an
after dinner nap before arrival at Duluth.
From a woman's standpoint we can thor
oughly indorse what cele brated eastern
writer once said of this splendid car on this
train: A veritable palace of comfort and
luxury rushing along on wheels DER smooth
and polished tracks
zone Improvement I noticed on The
North Western Line to Duluth over, what
seems to be an established custom among
railways was the service of white instead
of colored porter More courteous and
kindly attentive he could scarcely have
been, anticipating ones wants in every
way. We enjoyed our trip from st. Paul to
Duluth very much, and for aday trip
never enjoyed so much comfort and such a
solid restful trip as | made on The North
Western Line And like all women, am
particular and more or less cranky, and it
takes a good deal to suit me and bring out a
compliment when travelling. "-MRs. F. VS..

Robbed the Church.

When the priest at the Catholic
church of New Ulm went to the vault
to get the chalice to use at mass, to his
surprise he found that the vault had
been blown open, and from its contents
are missing gold chalice, plate and
soporia, and silver monstrance, the
total value of which is about $780,
There is no clue to the burglars, nor is
it known when the deed was done, as
the vault had not been used for several
days. The vault was situated in the
basement at the rear of the church and
It's existence was known to very few
people. It was therefore plain that the
robbery had been done by some one
who was familiar with the church.

AN AMERICAN LEGEND.

Don't Make Row Unless You Know You
Are Right.
Once upon time an eminent citizen
entered the Office of a gas company and
threw down the months bill he had re-
ceived that day and shouted:
'Now, by the beard of my father.
but lam wroth and want gorep'
Anything wrong?" kindly and SYM
pathetically queried the young man at
the window.
Wrong? Wrong? Can you not read?
Can't you get that sum total through
your young and innocent headp'
"Of surety / can, sir. l see by this
bill that you are charged with fifty
thousand feet of gas at one dollar and
half per thousand, for the month OF
August-total, seventy-five dollars.
Prithee. sir, but why this fervidness of
speech?'
II never burned that gasr' =
"But the meter, sir-the meter makes
no mistakes! However, will summon
here the secretary, who is a man OF
more 1uency of speech than myself"
why this kick, my dear sir?" kindly
asked the secretary as he appeared.
Because of the size of that bill"
'But you must remember that last
month was long one"
"But was away on visit and my
house was deserted. I did not even
burn one foot of your internal old
gas"
'"Tis passing strange" quoth the
secretary. 81 will summon hence our
president, who hath the knack of un-
raveling strange things"
"Man, hath thy better senses left
thee?" severely asked the president as
he looked out upon the kicker. Hath
news of war or the excitement of poll
tics turned thy head?''
''Not by joyful! How could I
burn your gas in my house was shut
upP'
''Prithee, sir, no one says you burned
the gas, and no one denies that your
house was shut up. This bill'is simply
for the leakage which always takes
place in house when the family is alb
sent. IT'S but a trife, and if thou art
inclined to raise great row and"
''Oh! no! no! mol simply did not
understand. It looked like highway
robbery. Your explanation is not only
but here is the cash and I
beg your pardon for my unseemly con-.
duct!'
And he counted down seventy-five
big dollars, shook hands all around
and wished them peace and prosperity.
and his shadow had scarcely turned
the corner when woman came in and
said they might take the shoes off her
feet before she'd pay the outrageous
bill of one dollar and seventy-fve cents
