The only traditional elephant story
that seems to have any basis of truth
is the old tale Of the elephant and the
mouse" said the ticket seller of Fore
paugh's show at Portland the other
day. There is no doubt that elephants
are afraid of mice. Anyone who
watches them in winter quarters when
mice and rats have an opportunity ia
thrive, will be convinced of this fact.
The appearance of q mouse will make
the entire herd of elephants uncom-
Portable. and a single rat will put them
into a condition of abject fear. The
explanation of this remarkable fac,
seems to me to be very simple. The
elephant knows how to defend himself
against lion, tiger. or ony other real
enemy, but the Insignificant size of the
mouse seems to battle all his conception
of offensive or defensive warfare. The
mouse is too agile to be crushed
under his feet, or to be caught by his
trunk, and can actually scamper over
his rough hide, with impunity. The
elephant realizes his helplessness
against such foe, and learns to fear
It as he does nothing else"

More than usual attention is Gale
by the peculiar chain of circumstance
| which makes it, in many respects, a
parallel of the Bran case. The Her.
bert Fuller and the Olive Pecker Were
sent out by the same Boston firm;
both were loaded with lumber, both
were Maine built, both sailed from
Mystic wharf, and both were bound for
South American ports. In each case
the captain and mate were murdered,
and in each case both were Maine men
On the Olive Pecker, as on the Herbert
Fuller, there was one prime mover in
the murders, and in both instances this
man was one who had been selected to
take the place of a mate who had been
discharged. The fact that the motive
in the latter case appears to have been
mutiny, may rot be a radical point of
case, it will be remembered, the plea
that Bran intended to start piratical
enterprise was made. but was not al
lowed to come into court. 1t is rare.
even in the annals of crime, that cases
present SO many points of resemblance,
and it is all the more remarkable when
one considers that these cases were not
only similar, but were directly con-
nected in many points.

There are some old people yet living
who can remember when there was no
such thing as a match in the domestic
equipment, and when flint and steel
and finder were the agencies for OBJ
tanning fire. Sir Isaac Holden's death
in England at 80 recalls to generation
which had forgotten him the fact that
the inventor of the lucifer match had
been living among them all these years
wearing unobserved the crown of one
of the most useful discoveries in all the
annals OF human invention. 1t is
curious to he reminded that he took no
patent on his discovery and reaped no
pecuniary reward from it, though thus
protected it might have made him the
richest man in the kingdom and per-
haps in the world.

The Herbs OF Long Ago.
stands upon the wooded hill

1T STANDS upon the wooded NIL 81.
Among the murmuring leaves,
An ancient house with shingle roof
And MOSES on its caves.
Around it's weather-beaten door
The running roses climb,
And all the weedy garden beds
Are sweet with box and thyme.
In dreaming fancy once again
1 mount the creaking stair,
And breathe beneath the massive beams
The garrets fragrant air;
For there along the dusty walls
And from the rafters low. -1 -
They hung in dainty punches tied,-
The herbs of long ago.
The balsam with it's fluffy buds.
The roots of sassafras.
The catnip, and the peppermint
That loves the meadow-grass.
They held cure for every ill,
A balm for every pain,
When gathered in the silver dew
Or after summer rain.
Across the smoky chimney-tops -.
And up the city street
l smell again the withered herbs
That made the garnet sweet;
And scent of crumbling lavender
In following linen laid, .
AS If ghost of olden times
Along the pavement strayed.
close my eyesAthey fade away,
These gloomy office walls:
No more upon my weary soul
The din of traffic falls;
But where the hardy trumpet-flowers
Their cups of scarlet spill,
A cricket tunes his violin
Beside lonely sill.
