FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
ELEPHANTS TENDING BABIES.

Monsters That Take the Tenderest Care OF
Mahout's Children.
Weakness appeals powerfully to the
friendly protection of the strong, ana
even among brutes-at least the nobler
kinds-the appeal is not often in vain
In the curious relations between mon
ster and midget we not infrequently see
the fable of the lion and the mouse re-
peated without words There is nothing
by apy means uncommon or incredible
in the stories which have been reported
about the children of mahout being
cared for by the mahout's elephant.
The whole family of the mahout be-
come, as it were. parasites to the ele-
plant, by whom they earn their living
have seen a baby placed by its mother
Systematically under the elephant
care, and within reach of its trunk,
while the mother went to fetch water or
to get wood or material to cook the fam
lily dinner. No jackal or wolf would be
likely to pick up and carry off a baby
who was thus confded to the care OF an
elephant, but most people who have
lived life in the jungle know how very
possible it is for jackal or wolf to
carry off baby when lying in hut
when the mothers back is turned.
The children thus brought up in the

familiar with him and take all kinds OF
liberties with him, which the elephant
seems to endure ON the principle that it
does not hurt him, while it amuses the
child. You see a little naked black
child, about feet high, standing on
the elephants bare back and taking it
down to the water to battle, shouting
all the time in the most unbecOmlng
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.
self, just leaving part of his body, like
small island, above water, on which
the small child stands and yells and
wells all the more if he has several COM
panions of his own age, also in charge
of their elephants, all wallowing in the
water around him. If the child slips off
his island, the elephants trunk prompt
ly replaces him in safety. The little
urchins, as they grow up, become first
mates to mahouts, and eventually arrive
at the dignity of being mahouts them
selves. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Backed by Scripture.

From the Saunterer' London friend
comes this little anecdote OF Glasgow
minister. The reverend gentleman, hav-
ing observed that one of his congrega-
ton was in the habit of gazing about
the church during prayers, told him one
day that he considered it would be more
becoming in worshiper to keep his
eyes decently closed

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,

A Curious Chemical Experiment,

Pour into goblet or tablespoon
fuls of water and mix with it little of
the extract of red cabbage-just enough
to give the water blue tint. Then take
a goose quill or straw, plunge it into
the water and blow into it, SO that the
air bubbles agitate the water. This air,
which is charged with carbonic acid that
it has gathered in the lungs, has the
faculty of changing the blue into red

date OF making the will.
stenographer Herbert W. Smith, who
transcribed the testimony, was placed On
the stand to verify the record.
The introduction was objected to upon
the grounds that the matter referred 10
should be brought out by Interrogation
and not by tie printed copy.
Col. Totten explained that it was to prove
that the question and answer related IL the
petition and the bill in equity.
Counsel withdrew objections and admitted
what was sought to be proved, and a second
contest resulted over the offer to introduce
testimony from the same record to estab-
pilsh that Mrs. Olmstead's quoted answer
related to the subject matter OF dispute as
stated in the petition filed in the orphans
court in 1884.
The drafts upon the printed record con-
tinued, with frequent objections. Justice
Bradley finally sustained the objections.

Has Lived Beyond His Means and Has
No Visible Assets


London, Nov. 12.-Oscar Wilde was
brought from Wordsworth prison this
morning to be publicly examined in the
bankruptcy court regarding his assets.
The court room was crowded.
Wilde looked ill and his answers to ques-
uons were almost entirely monosyllabic
and given in a low voice.
His testimony showed that in recent
years he had lived beyond his income and
had sometimes been payed In advance for
his plays, hence several theatrical mama
gers were his creditors instead of his
debtors.
The court then passed upon Wilde's ac-
counts, which sho wed that his liabilities
were 43 1881, and that he had no available
assets.
1t transpired in the course of the ex-
animation that there was q marriage set

The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-06-29

1.-THE theological unity in the Catholic
Church. of which there is SO much
boasting, is the unity of people who do
not, dare not. think for themselves. They
receive but do not question. Such unity
is damage rather than blessing.
ut is impossible for the Christian
world to accept. intelligently, any one
denomination as a universal organiza-
ton. l am doubtful il it would be we'll
even were it possible. But l am not
doubtful as to the unwisdom of employ
ing any kind of force to bring about
such unity. Every man must be free.
to be at his best. in the exercise of his
reason, and must justify himself to his
own conscience. Some people would
have to stop thinking on questions of the
most thrilling interest. But the best
and the noblest will not, cannot stop
thinking. The masses might feel will.
ing to be led by few leaders in whom
a general confidence is reposed, yet they
should be helped to break away from
such subserviency."
A spiritual unity and not organic
conformity is the type of Christian
unity which the Universalist writer
believes in and defends in this SYM
postum. "This is my thought" says
DR.. Pullman, "and the thought of
millions of faithful Christians. This
unity is being approached as rapidly
as such mighty revolution can move.
Practical Christian work in which all
Christians instinctively engage with
out considering UNCONVENTIONAL diff
ferences is drawing the whole body
of Christ into the unity of heart. The
Christ in one church is speaking to
the Christ in the other. His spirit is
triumphant and will reach large vic
tory as the ages move. Creeds may
antagonize each other, but heart is
beating TO heart among all the ranks
of Christian workers. The song is
greater than the stanza. We forget
the antagonizing words of hymn in
the beauty of the music. The spirit
is greater than the letter. So shall
the Christian world become one"
