Paris Red Tape.

The Gaulois relates q little incident
which seems to imply q good deal of red
tape in at least one department Of Paris
municipal affairs. A few days ago q re-
tired policeman appeared at the bureau Of
his district to collect his pension, which
was two quarters In arrears. He handed
to the commissioner as proof Of the cor
rectness of his demand "certifioat de
vie," or paper setting forth that he was
living and was the proper applicant foa
the pension In bis name. This certificate
was duly examined, and the policeman re.
oeived check for the amount Of the last
quarter.
"But-excuse me-" he objected politely,
"there are two quarters coming to me-"
"Yes," assented the commissioner, "but
In order to give you the other must have
a second certificate"
"What," exclaimed the astonished pen.
sioner, "another certificate! Why, the one
you have says that I am alive now, on
June 10. That ought to be enough to
prove to you that was equally alive dur
ing last January and February and
March,
~ cannot argue the matter; 1t Is the
law" returned the commissioner.
And it was actually necessary for the
cate affirming that he was in existence
during the first quarter of the year 1897, O
similar declaration for the second quarter
being considered to have no possible bear
ing Oh the question.

Probably the oldest English schools were
the London schools described by Fitz.
stephen, who wrote in 11;-i. He gives in.
teresting details of the lighter moments Of
school time. We hear of scholars who, on
certain privileged occasions, attacked theii
sohoolmasters Sin epigrams or other com.
positions In numbers" using "all that
low ribaldry we read of In the ancients, +"
though one is glad to hear, without men
tioning names" In addition to these ele.
CANT exercises, they had the Tuore robust
sports of their time. On Shrove Tuesday
eaoh boy brought his fighting cock to
school, and they had cockfights all the
morning In the schoolroom, and after din.
ner played football In the fields Of the
suburbs. Every Sunday in Lent there wa.
sham fight, some of the boys being
mounted, the rest on foot At Easter they
played at the water quintain, while on
summer holidays they practiced at archery,
leaping, wrestling and stone throwing and
in winter slid, skated and went to bull
baits and hog fights. No doubt the Lon
don schools had their severer side, and the
life was not quite such a round Of dissipa.

HUNTING fnoM ELEPHANTS.

A Recently Tanned Beast That Would
stand Any Charge. t.
Mr. II. w. Scton-Karr In Tho Century
Game IN Africa and India" In the lat
ter country be hunted an tho guest Of the
mabarsjnb Of Kucb Bobar. Mr.. Karr says;
One Of tho frat things tho mahsrajah did
after our arrival was to hand 10 ench guest
u slip of pspor on which was written the
nGIDo Of the o!ephnnt allotted 10 him for
shooting purposes, which bor0 on its back
tho structure known an "howdab," 10
carry tho shooter and his guns. AS thcgc
elephants wcro necessarily large and the
hOwdah IL high, tho oscillation was much
greater than II one wore seated upon "a
plain pad uIon the ELEPHANTS back or on
one Of tho smaller elephants, which have
smoother gait. We usually, therefore,
went 10 tho cover, or jungle, upon one OF
the "beatiDg" or pad" elephants, which
aftcrward during the operations Of the day
were employed In "A long line To force the
rhinoceroses and other animals out Of the
dense thickcts in which they live.
The howdah elephant which the ma.
harajah allotted To me was Secundcr.
Three years previously IL was AN uncap-
turcd wild elephant ranging at liberty the
junRlcs Of Bengal IL was u fine female,
between and 10 feet In height at the
shoulder, with short but perfect "tushes"
projecting few inches beyond the upper
lip. There are other elephants In the
maharaiah's stud which have been tanned
more recently still. IL was very gentle
and obcdicnt and perfectly fearless and
therefore very valuable AS shooting ele'
phant-as, for example, on several occa'
sions during the following three weeks II
stood without finching the charge OF
wounded buffalo, tiger and rhiDoceros,
thus enabling me to take steady shot.
Almost all elephants show great fear OF
the Indian rbinoceros There arc few that
will not turn tail when they scent their
enemy and fewer still that will stand the
crash and short snorts that precede the
charge.
About breakfast time each morning the
elephant told of for each guest was
brought to the neighborhood of his tent
and the howdah placed upon It, resting
upon saddle composed OF two cushions OF
strong sacking about 9 feet by 2, which
rested In turn upon a large cloth covering
the whole OF the elephants back. The
howdahs for shooting are lightly built OF
wood and cane work and contain two seats
and racks to hold six guns or rifles, three
on each side. All this is lashed on by
ropes passing under the elephants neck
belly and tail. The weight which an ele
phant Is able to carry upon its back ex
ceeds ton. For short distances they have
been known to carry as much as 5000
pounds, but for long marches half q ton II
considered the limit. Many of the ma
harajah's elephants had fine tusks, but
most tusks are cut at regular intervals tc
prevent them from injuripg one another
One or two Of the fighting elephants, how
ever, had pointed tusks.

water were totally inadequate and the
roadbed was covered with stream several
inches deep.
The early electric cars had serious diff
Guilty in getting through, on account OF
washouts and water covering the rails on
Lonsdale avenue and Dexter street, and
the help arrived at their work in very un-
comfortable condition.

At Turner's Falls there is great anxiety
In regard TO an immense jam Of logs that
Is held in the narrows about 1h miles

dict that if the logs go out suddenly af-
ter a further rise of water that it will
be more than likely to sweep out many
Of the bridges in the Connecticut river.
1t Is estimated that there are 100000
feet of logs at the narrows. The hold

not the river continues to rise.

Mamie Bloom, a notorious Texas
bad man, Is now behind the bars of
an Arkansas Jail to answer the
charge in several cases of grand
larceny. He will find the Arkansas
courts will give him full justice and
long terms for his waywardness.
Bloom has been a thorn in the side
of Bowie county for many years,
and it seems as though he slipped
out from every charge brought
against him. We think the Miller
county Circuit court will size him
up about right and If he is guilty he
will certainly find no sickly sentl'
mentality for bad men, but will get
what he deserves, a good long term
at the penitentiary.
