ELEPHANT WAYS.
A Traveller In the Far East Talks
About the Big Feast.

Nothing but a ride on an earthquake
could be compared to the sensation or
being run away with by an elephant
Nothing stops his wild rush, and he does
not swerve for an obstacle, but he goes
straight at it. A few shakes filings off
everything on his back n the rider has
but a second or two in which to make
up his mind which o~yerhanging
branch he will cling to, or if he will risk
throwing himself off. A broken neck
would be the certain consequence of re-
naming. AS for stopping him, somebody
has we'll said that you might just as we'll
try to stop a runaway locomotive by pull
ing with your walking stick on the fun
mel as to seek to check an elephant at
such a moment with the goad.
By stroking an elephants lip in a GER
tain way you can make it purr like a
huge grimlakin, till the earth shakes be-
meath your feet. When 1t is afraid or an
cry it squeaks like an unoiled hinge. But
when 1t suddenly jumps aside like a flea
you immagine for a moment that the ul-
innate terrestrial. cataclysm has gone off.
The Maylays never wholly trust their
elephants, and were nervous at my Ia
miliarities with mine, a sweet tempered
old female, on which I rode hundreds OF
miles. During the midday halt l used to
Cdll her up, anu SHE WOulo SOAlS ohu
stand with one foot one each side of my
chest as l lay on my back and feed her
with bananas. I was never angry with
her but once-when she tried to kill the
cook.
On one occasion a little elephant of our
party, running behind its mother leased
her beyond endurance, and She turned
feet upermost at the bottom OF a deep
brook. For two hours he screamed like
a steam whistle. while we were engaged
in getting him out.
Every night when we reached camp and
the loads We're taken off, each driver
leg together with a rattan, so that 1t
could only hop with both together. Then
a huge wooden bell has hung around its
neck and it was turned loose to Wander
in the jungle. All night long the faint
dong of those bells made a mourn
each driver tracked his elephant by the
sound, often going many miles for him..
The elephant is in some respects a stu
pid beast, and many of the tales of its
sagacity are apocryphal, yet 1t some
times does very strangely intelligent
things. Once a tiny elephant got damned
in between the parts of a heavytree trunk
sage on the road Its screams brought
back its mother from ahead. She in
spected it carefully for a moment, then
walked a dozen steps backwards and,
lowering her head, charged straight at
it. shooting it out as if it had been fired
from a gun.
Now, She must have seen that although
the little one could not move either way,
there was really room for it to get
through. If there had not been, her
charge would have mashed it as fiat as a

Good Temper That May BE Success
fully cultivated

There are fortunate folk who seem to
have been born good tempered-sweet-
ness and light have been their inheri-
tance-and to speak gently and think
kindly is as natural with them as it is
to breathe. a sound digestion and
steady nerves help to keep them at
| peace with themselves and all the world;
and, with a body which is not constant
ly sapping their courage and making it
hard to meet the world with an I'M
ruffled front, they can conserve their
forces and be in readiness for any de-
mand that life may make upon them.
There are others who are not SO for
tunate. Born physically feeble and
constantly ailing, every nerve cries out
| against the friction, which, great or
small, is almost uncomfortable. For suf-
fering of this sort seems to have no de-
| gree, and. in certain moods, what would
be a trifie becomes the refinement of
extremity. We are beginning to learn
that a great deal of Illness is avoidable,
and that even a weak constitution may

it at any time, and they will drink it per-
| sistently in the evening when they know

| loss of sleep, or, at least, disturbed. rest.
There is no such promoter of pey,ishness
as loss of sleep, but there can be little
sympathy for insomnia that is %self-in-
duced. An impaired digestion produces
the same result. and this, too, can be
avoided by ~steadfastly refusing those

STRIKE ON THE NEW CITY HALL.

Polfceman Settled II.

By way of variety, the City Hall Com
m~fssioners had a little strike to deal
with yesterday. Contractor English has
had two stone cutters at work cutting
the decorations over the front stoop,
and they have been working too slowly
to suit him. They were behind in their
work, and Mr.. English warned them
thai unless they worked faster he would
discharge them. His wa-aing was un-
needed. and yesterday ne 4lpg he en-
gagged two new stone cus-3A, and di-
rected them to report forswork at one

refused, and said a great ahput causing
ia. general strike at the Citys1Iail. They
also talked of violence, and then Con-
tractor English sent to the First pre-,
settled the difficulty in short order. The
old men PACKED up their tools and went T
work With a will. and the prospects are
that the decorations will soon be nm
ished. Mr.. English expects 10 trouble to
arise over the occurrence.

DON'T sOOLD.
The Woman Who INDUCES In 1t Is
Apt to Fail OF Eer Purpose.


The most deluded mortal in the world
is the woman who fancies that much is
gained by scolding or whining or COM
planning. She may seem to gain her
ends for awhile (for at least one will do
most anything to avoid swallowing a
bitter dose), but if she would stop to
consider, she would soon discover that
every day she has greater cause for
scolding or whining or complaining,
whichever method she adopts, and hat
as the months roll by an ever increas-
ing amount is required to accomplish the
same result.
The scolding woman never has things
her own way without a vast expenditure
of nervous straightforward more than
the object to be gained is worth. Why
cannot she realize that, and adopt some
pleasanter method?
There is in this city, a mere little
woman who is never obliged to ask
twice when she wants anything. She
isn't one of the meek women who never
dare to have an original opinion, or to
indorse one unless her husband has
first Endorsed it. She says what she
thinks, but, even if it is a criticism, it
one can take offense. Very often things
do not go to suit her, but she has the
good sense to realize that scolding or
complaining or whining will not help
matters.
If she is too angry to laugh, she keeps
still until she can control herself. If
very angry, she shuts herself up in her
room alone for a few moments. She
says that an angry woman seems to her
to be so repulsive an object that she
cannot bear to have those whom she
loves best to see her in any such char
acter. She never seems to command,
and her husband imagines that he al
ways has his own way She never dis
putes the point, yet they who know her
that are not settled to her entire salts
faction.
h will appear young when the
scolding women of her age are con-
sidered old, and she viii always have
an influence for good where they have
no influence at all.
