Story of Elephant Who INDUCED in
Practical Jokes


The elephant at the Jardin 5es
Plantes, at Paris. used to play his visit
ors a trick which could not have been
thought of but by an animal of such
intelligence His house opened upon IN
inclosure called the Elephants park,
containing a pond. in which he would
lay himself under the water. concealing
every part of him except the very end
of his trunk-a mere speck. that would
animals habits.
a crowd would assemble around the
Enclosure, and. not seeing him in it,
would watch in expectation that he
would soon issue from the house
But, while they were gazing about,
a copious sprinkling of water would
fall upon them, and ladies and gentle
men, with their fine bonnets and coats,
would run for shelter under the trees,
looking up at the clear sky and wonder
ing whence such shower could come.
Immediately afterward, however,
they would see the elephant rising slow
" from his bath, evincing, as it seemed,
an awkward joy at the trick that he had
played
In the course of time his amusement
became generally known, and the mo-
ment the water began to rise from his
trunk the spectators would take flight,
at which he appeared exceedingly de-
lighted. getting up fast as he could
to see the hustle he had caused.-Sparc

MAINTAINING THE PARITY.
An Important Statement from Secretary
Carlisle.

| Carlisle
| In a letter to an inquirer who asks
| about the maintenance of silver dollars
now in circulation a parity with gold,
Mr.. Carlisle makes the statement that
| if it was deemed necessary the secre-
| tary of the treasury would redeem the
| silver dollars in gold. No secretary of
| the treasury ever has done so, and we
| do not know that any secretary of the
| treasury has ever stated before that he
| would do so, but the conditions have
not been such heretofore as to call for
any statement upon the subject.
As is common knowledge, silver dol
lars are not redeemable in gold, yet
| while the bullion value in a silver dollar
is only about So cents, still the silver
dollar circulates on a parity with the
gold dollar. One reason assigned for
this is that the silver dollars are re-
ceived by the government in payments
TO itself, which is form of redemption.
The other reason given is that the gov
eminent has pledged itself to maintain
the silver dollars which it has issued at
parity with gold, which. of course,
might mean that the government
would redeem the dollars in gold under
certain contingencies. 1t is on this
pledge that Secretary Carlisle bases the
statement that he would redeem silver
dollars in gold If that policy should be
necessary in order to maintain the pari-
ty. After reciting that these silver dol
lars had been received by the people on
the faith of this pledge made by the gov
eminent, he says:
1T is not doubted that whatever can he
lawfully done to maintain equality in the
exchangeable value of the two metals will
be done whenever it becomes necessary.

been received in exchange for gold, yet, If
the time shall ever come when the parity
cannot be otherwise maintained. such ex-
changes Will be made 1t Is the duty of the
public officials to execute in good faith the
policy declared by congress. and whenever
he shall be satisfied that the silver dollar
cannot be kept equal in purchasing power
with the gold dollar, except by receiving

such exchange is demanded. it viii be his
duty to adopt that course"
This statement, coming from the sec
rotary of the treasury, is one of great
importance, and must be accepted as
the statement of policy of the treasury
department, at least for this admins
tration. While Mr.. Carlisle declares
that silver dollars should be redeemed
in gold if that policy shall be necessary
in order to preserve the parity, he ex
presses the belief that the means al
present employed for maintaining the
parity will be found sufficient if the
present policy is adhered to and the
coinage of silver kept within reason
