Elephants Shower Bath,

The elephant, in a wild state, is noe
turnal animal, rarely if ever stirring
in the daylight from his haunts
in the shady forest, and, when domes-
ticCted and compelled to work or travel
in the day time, his enormous size and
dark color causes him to be a great
sufferer from heat. To relieve him, tho
animal has contracted habit of with
drawing from his stomach a quantity
of water by means of his trunk, which
he then squirts over his back and sides
in order, by its evaporation, to cool his
skin. As this process is repeated on an
average of once in every five minutes,
and as the elephants aim is not good.
his efforts to keep cool cause consider
able inconvenience to his riders, who
are frequently sprinkled by the water.
though the fluid is quite clear and has
no offensive odor. The habit is ac-
quired in domestication, for it is not
known to be practiced by elephants
in the wild state, and is altogether one
of the most singular in natural his

He did not mean That books that are
disagreeable are the only books worth
reading. But he did mean that book
which opens up new field of knowl-
edge, a new outlook upon literature or
life. is not at first likely to give the
pleasure that comes from one which
simply reflects the old familiar ideas Of
which we say complacently: How
good and true that is, for I've felt it or
said it myself" A book that pats you
on the head or heart all the time is apt
to be little more than a reflection Of
your own narrow experience, and you
will not learn anything from it. A book
that makes one feel ignorant is as morti-
flying to ones pride as a superior per-
son.-Ladies' Home journal.

OIL ON TRACKS.
Successfully Used for Laying Dust on
n jersey Railroad.

Oil for laying dust on track ballasted
with gravel and cinders is being used
on the West Jersey and Seashore rail-
road. j. II. Nichols, assistant en-
gineer, says this plan has passed the
experimental stage, and that they are
only awaiting the completion of car
for distributing the oil mechanically
to cover all dusty places on the road.
At the present time there are about
four miles of track so treated. The
rails are kept clean by means of a
shield. The result obtained is COM
plete freedom from dust at points
which were formerly the most dusty
on the division. The spraying will be
required but once a season after the
renewal of ties.
When it becomes necessary to dis
turb the track for repairs it will prob
ably be necessary to spray again, but
it is thought that after not more than
three applications the ballast will be
impregnated with oil to a sufficient
depth to render subsequent treatment
unnecessary. The oil is of a special
kind, having two properties fitting it
for this use. First, it Is penetrating
and tenacious, and, second, it is not
combustible as used, but can only be
burned by converting it into a spray
almost resembling gas in fineness. 1t
is almost without volatile ingredients
and has therefore but little odor, and
that not of an unpleasant character,
even when first applied, and this odor
decreases on exposure. The oil can be
distributed in place at total cost of
less than $50 per mile of single track.

RAILROAD 80 MILES LONG.

It Defies the State of Georgia and the
Railroad Commissions Order.
There is an obdurate little railroad
in Georgia which has not only shown q
disposition to fight all the rest of the
state, but which seems serenely conf
dent that it will win. 1t is only sc miles
long and runs from Dublin to Tennille.
Its uame is the Wrightsville & Tennille
railroad, and is especially distinguished
for its prosperity and its pugnacious
qualities. Last year the cotton grow
ers along the line of this read were
compelled to ship their cotton over the
Georgia Central because the road re-
fused to issue through bills of lading
over any other line. Some of the grow
ers wanted to ship their cotton over
the Augusta Southern, but the Wrights-
vile & Tennille refused to give them
through bills over that line, and made
no pretense to disguise their prefer
ences. The result was that the Georgia
Central got nearly all the cotton and
the Augusta Southern got left.
The matter was carried before the
railroad commission and that body
handed down a decision ordering the
Wrightsville & Tennille railroad to is
sue through bills of lading over all
railroads and not to play any favorites.
The commission also ordered the at
torney-general of the state to begin
proceedings for damages against the
recalcitrant railroad and to try the
issue involved before the state courts.
Attorney-General Terrell has prepared
his case and will go down to Dublin to
try it before Judge Hart. The defense
will be represented by former Senator
A. F. DAILY, of Wrightsville. Not only
is the right of the state to manage its
railroads involved in the trial of the
case, but the interstate commerce COM
mission is interested as well. The line
of the Georgia Central runs entirely
through the state, while the Augusta
Southern ine-the destination of both
being Savannah-carries the freight
north to Hamburg and then south over
the Port Royal route through South
Carolina. This brings up the inter-
state commerce commission question,
and not only the railroad people of
Georgia but the cotton growers as well
are deeply interested in the result of
the legal contest.-Atlanta Constitu-

WOMAN IN THE HOME.
The Workers Who Go Not Out Into the
World.

"It's glorious to be independent y
"It's grand to be able to stand alone"
"It's worth labor, toll and care to reach
ones hand out and take what one will
from among the gifts for which strong
men are striving. To make ones own
place, to work so well that work brings
recognition and remuneration-all that
is good" So say the women who never
tried to do these things by way of en-
couragement to those who have been
forced to try. But faint and small the
echo of such words from the ranks of
the workers themselves. If we could
hear their heartbeats in the stiffness
of the night, in their little country
homes from which they take the busi-
ness trains for their days of labor in
the city; in their boarding houses; in
their tiny apartments which they try
to make like homes, we should find them
throbbing out a different tale.
They are out in the world, out of their
homes. Yes, but not of their own wish
or will. driven out by such demons as
intemperance, misfortune, or poverty.
and in nine cases out of ten working
with the heart still clinging to the
home. Then in nine cases out of ten
there's always somebody else for whom
they work. It may be father. kind
but inefficient and unfortunate. There
is mother well stricken in years.
There are invalid relatives to be taken
gently down to the grave side, and
money smooths even that weary way.
There are brothers to be helped through
college. There are sisters to be in
structed and trained, not in order that
they can go out into the world. Oh!
no, but so that they can do something.
too, to add to the income and yet stay
at home"
This is the kind of burden they carry;
these are such utterances as we should
hear if we listened to their heartbeats
in the night. So the noblest class of
working women, even like men, would
keep their little sisters in the home.-
