Elephants at Work.
From the Buffalo Courier.

William B. Tourgee has just returned
from a trip around the world. He is a
millionaire, and has beautiful home on
Michigan Boulevard, in Chicago. but he is
seldom at home, as the greater part of his
time is spent in travelling. Mr. Tourgee
prefers to visit places out of the ordinary
lines of travel and has made during his
last trip quite an extensive exploration Of
the Island of Boneo.
One of the places, however, which
offered some of the most interesting scenes
was found in the large lumber yards of
Burmah The teak wood industry is the
great industry of that country. The wood
grows for the greater part in the northern
part of Burmah, where it is cut and hoated
down the Irrawaddy to Rangoon, where
the more important and larger yards are
located.
1t is in these lumber yards that they
employ the elephants in moving and hand
ling the logs The elephant has practi-
cally the entire handling of the logs from
the moment they are ready to be taken
from the back water, where they have
been stored, until the logs have been con-
verted into the thin planks used in ship
building and other industries, where it
answers the purpose better than any other
known wood.
A dozen or more elephants may be en-
ployed in the same yard. They are nearly
all males, which are, generally speaking,
larger and stronger than the females.
These intelligent creatures will balance a
log on their tusks, and, holding it firmly
With their trunks, win proceed to walk off
with it to the saw They will then hold
the log up to the saw while it is at work,
and will see that it is cut properly, either
crosswise or lengthwise, as may be desired
They pull the slabs away with the ends Of
their trunks, and pile them in piles that
are as neatly arranged as the most exacting
yardmaster could desire. The principal
work of the elephants consists Of taking
the logs from the water and piling them
up in the yards. They will pile logs in the
neatest manner imaginable, and will adjust
them at either end until they are perfectly
satisfied that they are rightly arranged.
Each elephant has keeper, but the keep
er's sole work consists in giving the ele-
phant the impression of what he wants
done, and then letting him go ahead and
do it.
Mr.. Tourgee says that the yard owners
look upon good elephant as almst price
less, and seldom part with them. What
makes their work SO very valuable is that
they'can do this heavy work in that hot
climate without being affected by the heat,
as other animals would be.

The First Steamer on the Pacific
From the Portland oregonian.

Sixty years ago, April 9, marked an
important epoch in the history Of the
Northwest, the occasion being the arrival
at Fort Vancouver of the Hudson Bay
Company's steamer Vancouver from Eng
land. She reached Astoria several days
earlier, but as Fort Vancouver was her OBJ
iective point when she left the Old World,
she did not tarry at the lower port, but
proceeded to the end of her journey as
rapidly as possible.
Steamers were scarce when the Beaver
started away from Gravesend on her long
journey in the fall of 1885, and the sue
cessful trip of the Savannah short time
previous is all that prevented the Beaver
from claiming the honor of being the first
steamer to cross the Atlantic Ocean. As
it is the name of the old craft will live for
ever in the annals of steam navigation as
the first steamer to enter the Pacific Ocean,
as well as the first one on any of the waters
of the Northwest This fame, which will
ultimately become international, is not SO
thoroughly appreciated in the Northwest,
from the fact that the extreme age reached
by the old pioneer placed her easily within
the recollection of nearly all of the present
generation. All over the Northwest are
hundreds of people. who remember the
antique appearing craft that splashed
around the waters of the Sound and Brit
ish Columbia until about eight years ago,
when she was carelessly wrecked, with her
timbers as sound as the day they were put
in place,

The old-Fashioned Lawyer.


When one lawyer is asked regarding an
other one, he is apt to reply: "Oh, So-and
So is good fellow. but queer. y Each
one of the profession in turn can behold a
multitude of notes, but uot a single beam.
The view of the outer world had always
been similar, but broader, for the lack Of
this varying personal exception.
In days past, the lawyer, like man S
love, was essentially thing apart. His
long preparation, his gown, his green bag,
his riding to circuit, individualized him so
distinctly that he was the easiest and hence
the most popular type for the caricatures
of satirists and the misrepresentation of
the stage. The people at large considered
him as savage might fashion plate,
with awe somewhat lessened by contempt;
he was so mysteriously pretentious, and
yet so i'll adapted for beauty or use. They
ignored his ethics; they limited his pur-
pose to money getting, and his abilities to
adroitness And yet there was a romance
about it all, even as glamor hangs over
the age of chivalry.
The present time is more prosaic; people
not only see the keener, but they step the
more cautiously The law has become
vast aggregation, 50 cumbersome that some
times it is difficult to distinguish the suffers
from the combatants. For instance,
host of commercial agents strut in its liv-
cry. The codes, too, by telling lawyers
what they ought to do, would soon have
rendered their ingenuity mere surplusages
were not punctuation a saving grace. No
wonder the good old fashioned lawyer sighs
for the days of the common law, when a
suit might be brought for recovery on
note and end in a controversy as to the
ownership of a hat
This good, old-fashioned lawyer is al
ways receiving the assurances of his own
most distinguished consideration. He Is a
Journalist who would sooner appear in pub
lie with unstarched ruffle and without his
fob than write except with quill or on
any thing less than parchment. 1t is even
whispered that he is cross -gartered with
red tape He is parsonage whose pres
ence in court is in the nature of conse-
Grafton. When he enters, the political
bailiffs, gossiping about the clerks desk,
slink uneasiy to their posts for fear of an
ironic glance from his bright eye, and his
Honor cuddies in his chair and surrepti-
tiously takes the lozenge of composure.
Nothing goes without saying in this an
cient advocate conduct of case; he re-
CARDS the stenographer with suspicion, and
the paper-bound weekly editions of the
reports as the mereSt obiter dicta; his pro-
gress is as leisurely and as dull as Homer's
catalogue of the ships, and he sums up in
the manner of Webster at Bunker Hill;
but yet beware; the chances are that in
that drone-hke advance same vital point
has been seized unawares, and through that
courtliness some juryman has been won.
Intellect and not only the knowledge of
law but of experinee are back of the tin
sci, and these may easily escort the good
old-fashioned lawyer home in triumph to
further whiten his hair with the nocturnal
bottle of port.

THE NIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS.

Twas the night after Christms-when all through
the house
Every soul was sbed. and still as mouse.
Those stockings, so lately ST. Nicholas care,
Were emptied of all that was estable there.
The darlings had duly been tucked in their beds,
With very full stomachs, and pain in their heads;

But the little pale face OF each sick little dear,
Each pet having crammed itself full tick.

Their pulses were rapid their breathings the same.
What their stomachs rejected III mention by name:

Now eustards, now eomfts, now cranberry sauce.

When heard the sharp clatter of old Jalaps hoof;

When the doctor came into the room with bound.
He was spattered with mud from his hat to lis

And the clothes he had on seemed the drollest of

A Fireproof Man.

A freproof man is Jacob H. Boyer, of
Phoenixville, Pa. He can step into fur
mace where the temperature is more than
200 degrees Fahrenheit; he can work
there with little discomfort, though the
heat singes his whiskers and burns the
soles of his shoes. And yet this human
salamander wits under the first strong rays
from the sun.
Boyer is mason, employed by the
Phoenix Iron Works, and he draws big
salary. His duty is to repair furnaces
when they are in use.
The capacity of single furnace is esti-
mated at forty tons of best Phoenix steel
every twenty-four hours. The ingots to
be heated vary in size, the largest being
foot in diameter and eight feet long.
These ingots are heated for the rolls, and
it occasionally happens that an accident
occurs to the furnace while heated. To
take the heat out and cool the furnace
would be great loss of time and big in
convenience to the company. Right here
is where Boyer wonderful ability to stand
the heat comes in handy. He can repair
the breakdown withought the loss of a mo-
ment His thorough familiarity with the
details of furnace work and his freproof
qualities have made him one of the highest
salaried men in the employ of the company.
Boyer's shoes have frequently been
scorched, and his whiskers and hair have
often been burned off to the roots. Once
he repaired a smelling furnace while it
was so hot that the tools he was using
were bent double Several of the fire
bricks had fallen out of place, and Boyer
used long iron handled instrument to
put the bricks in place. The job was ac-
complished only after the greatest difficulty.

The Richmond Gazette says that IA
newspaper can publish column after col
umn in praise of man and it is taken as
a matter of course The party never
thinks of saying thank you. But let
the same paper publish one line in criti-
cism of that same individual and all the
favors he has received from the publisher
are forgotten.
It is the old story
Praise, and your friends will hear you;
Blame, and he heeds you not.
For word of praise in the memory stays,
Never TO be forgot;
But if chiding be remembered
1t is only for its sting,
And loving words, like songs of birds,
Are forever echoing.

Among the simple remedies which should

Among the simple remedies which should
be in the family medicine closet one of the
most useful is mutton suet. For cuts and
bruises it is unequaled, as well as for
chapped hands and faces. 1t is best to
procure the suet at the butchers and try
it out at home, turning it into small molds
to cool, and then roll it in tinfoil A cam
phor ice may be made by putting piece
of camphor gum the size of a walnut with
half cup of mutton tallow and melting
them together Pour the mixture into a
little cup or mold to become cold.
