WASHINGTON, Aug. &-The ST. Louis
wool corner has been a grand success
according to Dashields Mason, of Han
nibal, Mo-, now in Washington, who
explains that the Missouri farmers last
fall were willing to accept ten cents
for their wool, the market for the sta
pie at that time having reached the
lowest point on record. The wool buy
ers decided that such state of affairs
could not exist longer and they began
to Systematically buy in every bit of
wool in sight, while the prices were
yet low. As fast as the purchases were
made the staple was stored away in st.
Louis, no sale being allowed. As a
result of this policy there is now held
in the city of st. Louis over la,OOO,OOO
pounds of wool bought at such figures
that the present price assures profit
to hose interested of 100000, or five
cents to the pound.

HUNTING FROM ELEPHANTS.
A Recently Tanned Ilcast That Would
stand Any Charge,


One Of the first things the maheraia
did after our arrival was to hand to
each guest a slip of paper on which was
written the name of the elephant al
lotted to him for shooting purposes,
which bore on It's back the structure
known as n "howdah,' to carry the
shooter and his guns. As these ele-
plants were necessarily large, and the
howdah is high, the oscillation was
much greater than II one were seated
upon Il plain pad upon the elephants
back, or on one of the smaller ele-
plants, which have q smoother gait.
We usually, therefore, went to the
cover, or jungle, upon one of the beat
ing" or pad" elephants, which after
ward during the operations of the day
were employed in long line to force
the rhinoceroses and other animals out
OF the dense Tickets in which they
live.
The howdah-elephant which tho
maharaja allotted to me was named
"Secunder." Three years previously
1t was an uncaptured wild elephant
ranging ut liberty the jungles of BEN
gal. 1t was fine female, between nine
and ten feet in heightat the shoulder.
with short but perfect "tushes" pro-
jecting n few inches beyond the upper
lip There are other elephants in the
maharaja's stud which have been tanned
more recently still. II was very gentle
and obedient, and perfectly fearless,
and, therefore, very valuable as shoot
ing elephant; as, for example, on sew
eral occasions during the following
three weeks IT stood without flinching
the charge Of wounded buffalo, tiger
and rhlnoccros, thus enabling me to
take steady shot Almost all ele-
plants show great fear Of the Indian
rhinoceros; there are 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 off for each guest was
brought to the neighborhood of his
tent, and the howdah placed upon it,
resting upon a saddle composed Of two
cushions of strong sacking about six
feet by two, 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
canework, and contain two seats, and
racks to hold six guns or rifles, three on
each side All this is dashed on by
ropes passing under the elephants
neck, belly and tail. The weight which
an elephant Is able to carry upon its
back exceeds ton; for short distances
they have been known to carry as much
as 5000 pounds, but for long marches
half a ton is considered the limit Many
OF the maharaia's elephants had fine
tusks, but most tusks are cut at regular
intervals to prevent them from injur-
Ing one another. One or two of the
fighting elephants, however, had point
ed tusks.-H. W. Seton Karr, in Cen
tury.

A HEAVY DRAIN.
July Disbursements Of Uncle Sam Exceeded
the Receipts.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. The monthly
comparative statement Of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures for the
month of July shows the total receipts
to have been $3.50, O97, 1874, and the dis
bursements $50, 100, 9OS, leaving the ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts SILL
073,5i4 This deficit is accounted for
by abnormally heavy expenditures in
cident to the beginning of the new
fiscal year. AS compared with June
the receipts were increased 81, 4i2, 500,
and the disbursements were mere ased
by S27, 1924.
The monthly statement of the public
debt shows that the debt, less cash in
the treasury at the close of business
on July 81, was S00S, 4i66iG an increase
during the month Of S6, 10O 500, which
is accounted for by corresponding
decrease in the cash in the treasury.
This decrease is in consequence of ex-
ceptionally heavy disbursements, The
debt, independent of the cash, was de-
creased bv S330.6l0.

Did you ever think how much each Of

think you can, for instance, tell good
deal by the feeling OF things. Try II
some time. Bllndfold one Of your
friends and then allow him to touch
his finger to various objects-a book, a
shoe, an apple, an orange, a piece Of
meat, Iron, plaster, Il bed qullt--and
see how many OF them he can guess.
or course. he Is only to touch them
not to handle them, for by handling
them he could no doubt guess their
identity from their shape or weight.
You viii be surprised to see how few
things he knows directly by the sense
OF touch. This feeling test makes an
excellent evening game. Blindfold a
whole party OF boys and girls and then
let them feel the objects In turn. Their
guesses will cause no end OF fun and
laughter for the half OF the party
which is not bllndfolded. II there hap
