AN NELEPHANT STORY.

Once there was a man who sold pro-
duce To a travelling circus. The circus
STAYED in his town for a week, AID as
the proprietor could not pay for the
produce, he gave a mortgage on the
elephant. When he could not meet
the bill the produce dearler foreClOSed
on the elephant, and proceeded to
lead him home by rope, whereas the
viligers gathered about, and asked
him what he was going to 60 with the
elephant, and where he was going to
put him. He replied that he should
put him in the chicken-coop, and keep
him. Now the chicken-cOOp was
pretty big for a ChiCken-Coop, and
even compared favorably with the
house and barn; but when the ele-
phant stood by its side its proportions
assumed d changed aspect, and the
elephant wouldn't fit. The elephant
strayed about in the yard and ate up
produce and every thing else, for a
week and then the holder of the newly
acquired luxury sent word to the
former owner, Come and get your
elephant at once | have family to,
support.
1t isn't always such an easy matter
to get rid of an elephant; and when
YOU have accommodations for chick
en- only, it isn't wise to invite an ele-
phant to dwell with you. And yet we
all do this constantly.-FrOm "Eke-
bhants That Burden U.s." in Demo-
rests Magazine for august.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People Are Saying.

Mr. Carlos Bee dubbed ''the leader
of the young Democracy by the Ex-
press, is credited with an Interview III
which he comes out in very GOOD
"Short Stop" style in favor OF party
tickets in local elections.
Mr.. Bee feels greatly encouraged
over the result of the late election IN
Greater New York, and inumates tl'it
it is about time San Antonio caine 10
the front as Democratic city.
The Democratic ticket in Greater
New York was elected because of di-
vided Republican house, it was MI
nority victory, aud as New York city
has always been considered the bull
wark of the Democratic party in the
nation, the outlook is not so roseat for
the Democracy as Mr.. Bee would have
his friends believe.
Now, Don Carlos, you and / agree on
the general proposition of party nomin-
atoms for all offices from president
down to constable, but let US draw our
inspiration from a source nearer home.
The city of Austin furnishes us with
an example.
The election of MIR. Mccall, the regu-
lar Democratic candidate, over the
mugwump, is splendid victory in ia
yor of party nomination. This result
should encourage the Democrats to
try their luck here, and it should serve
as warning to Republicans to steer
clear of all movements Tabled ''inde-
pendent" ..citizens," peoples" etc.
The most reliable Democrats are
those who are Democrats because their
fathers were Democrats before them.
They know nothing about the condi-
lions that have come over the country;
they care nothing about the inconsist-
encies of their party platform.
Young men are liable to run after the
biggest crowd because they think IT
the only road to preferment, but in this
day the young man should be manly
enough to look at the political situation
from an independent standpoint; If lie
does, he will not be Democrat.
Patriotism, the good of the state, tile
prosperity of the people, all point away
from the tumbled down edifice Of The
old Democratic party.
Let Mr.. Bee lead off as a Democrat
in favor of straight Democratic tickets
in our local elections. Let him refuse
any and all honors offered him at the
hands of mongrel committees, cOmbin'
atoms or conventions, and he nlay be
able to accomplish something.
Aside from political considerations
the present condition of our local poll
tics is unsatisfactory to a large body of
our most intelligent citizens and the
only relief seems to be in party conven-
tons and party nominations.
Our present county administration
has only TO shake one or two of its
officials to be Democratic after Mr..
Bees heart. How easy to do!

An Atoms Individuality.

At no time has the atom been seen TO
renounce its personality. Within limits
the character of mOlCculc may be altered
by changing the positions of its atoms,
lust as dincrent buildings may be con-
structcd of the same bricks, bat these linn
its are sharply defined, and il would be es
impossible to exceed them as it would be
TO build stone building with bricks
From first to last the brick remains brick
Whatever the style Of architecture it helps
TO construct it never becomes n stone. Ana
lust as closely does each atom retain its
own peculiar properties regardless OF Its
surroundings
Thus for example, the carbon atom
may take part in the formation at one
time of n diamond, again of piece OF
coal and yet again Of a particle Of sugar.
of wood fiber. of animal tissue or OF gas
i'm the atmosphere, but from first to last
from glass cutting gem to Intangible gaS
there is no demonstrable change what
ever in any single property of the atom
itself. So far Us we k1ow, its size, It's
weight, its capacity for vibration or rota
ton and its inherent alilnities remain aD
solutely unchanged. --ilenry smith WI

His Sacrifice.

Darling" he said looking down
tenderly into the eyes of bis bride, Il
have often heard you say that there is
no true love without self sacrifice. You
have taught me this great truth, and
now I am going to prove my love by
giving up something that has been very
dear to me for years. You know how
fond am Of smoking. Well, dearest, 1
am going to abandon the practice, even
though it be like tearing out my-my y
AT this point his emotion apparently
overcame him, and he looked down at
the sweet face, expecting to see there
appreciation of his noble resolve, but
he saw only look of blank disappoint-
ment
"What is the matter?, Are you not
glad that l am following your teach
ing?" he asked.
Its not that, she answered, almost
sobbing. "Never mind what it is" And
she rushed from the room.
The self sacrificing hero smiled. He
had learned from his wife's dearest
friend that she had set her heart on
buying him half dozen boxes of cigars
covered with lovely silver paper wrap
pers, with pictures in the middle.
And that is what gave birth to his
noble resolution. Pearson Weekly.

Cast Iron.

In paper read before one of the Phila
delphia technical societies, Mr.. A. r. Out
erbridge, Jr., chemist, expressed his dis
sent from the common theory that cast
iron becomes brittle under repeated shocks
He was led to test the matter by noticing
that a number of bars of cast iron, inch
square and D inches long, gained strength
by being shaken for several hours In box
to clean them from sand, and to test the
matter still further he prepared ~ more
bars, six of which were tumbled in such a
box for four hours, and these showed a
strength 10 to 10 per cent greater than the
six not thus treated. Experiments were
then made by subjecting six to 5000 taps
on one end with hand hammer, the re-
suit being gain in strength about equal
to that exhibited by the bars in the box.
The tapping produces what Mr.. Outer
bridge calls molecular annealing, which
differs from annealing by heat III THAT II

carbon in the casting or alter the chemical
