preferred, the bench can be made of
oak, cherry, ash, sycamore, or ma
hogany, and lightly stained, after which
it may be treated to several coats of
varnish.
Stains and varnish can be purchased
ct most any paint or hardware store, so
that with a little time and money some
useful benches can be had that will be
attractive resting pedestals for pots and
jardinieres.
Several benches of this style are al
ways useful about the house, either for
plants or for seats, and for the piazza
they are quite as attractive painted
some pleasing color as if finished in
natural wood.
Long benches of the same pattern
can be made to accommodate several
jardinieres, but as they are elongated
the tops must be braced to insure
strength, and where the two pieces
forming the legs are brought together
the joint should be made very secure
with glue and screws.-Chicago Inter

HE COULD KICK.


At rare intervals among the mountain
roads of West Virginia and Kentucky
the traveller may come upon black
smith shop. but he is much safer in the
shoeing of his horse if he Will carry
a few nails and tools in the bottom
of his buggy. On trip by Pound Gap
on one occasion | found a blacksmith
shop at the forks of the road, and. as
usual, a half dozen or more men sitting
around it in the shade. My turnout
needed some repairs. and as the smith
was pottering 4 bout it inside | made
talk with the men outside. One of them
wanted to sell me a mule which he
had hung up on the fence, and l started
in for a dicker. After we had been
talking for perhaps a quarter of an
hour the smith asked me to step in
side and show him something about the
work he was doing. As soon as he got
me away from the crowd he came close
and grew confidential.
"Y'ain't thinkin' NV buyin' that crit
ter, air you?" he asked, in all sincerity.

and that one looks all right" said.
You cant tell mule by his looks,

But you haven't told me what's the
matter with the mule" insisted. ''Will
he kick?"
That's his weakness, mister" re-
| sponded the smith, letting his voice fall
to a whisper. you won't believe me,

GRATEFUL ELEPHANT.
She Rugged the Chemist Who Had
Once Cured Her Pain.


1t is a common sight to see Jolly al
most any day walking sedately about
the crowded hall with eight and nine
merry children on his back. He APP
pears to enjoy the sport as much as the
little folks, for his eyes twinkle glee-
fully, says the Boston Journal.
In talking about the intelligence and
remarkable memories of elephants Mr..
Bostock (who was Jolly's trainer and
has been a trainer and exhibitor of ami
mails all his life said: The elephant
is the most intelligent of animals ever
had anything to do with. They are the
easiest to train, the most gOOd-tem-
pered and interesting of all
speaking of the memories for per-
sons and events that elephants have,
would like to tell you an instance that
came under my own eyes some years
ago when l was in England. My father
was the manager of show, but he hav-
ing died my mother was in charge. We
had several elephants, and one of them
was of unusual size. He was within
three or four inches as tall as Jumbo,
and a trifle heavier.
I'm the rural places where we were
exhibiting at the time it was the Gus
tom of the people to have large baskets
Of apples placed by the side of the road
after they had been picked from the
trees. This particular day our show
was passing along a street and the ele-
plants all ate of apples.
Not long after the big elephant was
taken very i'll. He lay down on the
ground and was apparently unable to
get up. We did not know whether he
had been poisoned or not, Finally a
chemist was called and he gave the ele-
plant some physic.
1T did not appear to do much good.
For hours the animal lay on the ground
and the chemist kept giving him medi-
cine Bystanders jeered at the man for
his apparently unsuccessful efforts.
Finally, however, the elephant began to
revive, and at last stood up on his feet.
Seven years later we happened to
visit the same town again. The big ele
plant was drawing a chariot with two
others in the lead, tandem fashion. We
were passing along the street when the
elephant suddenly paused and walked
up to man standing on the sidewalk.
She placed her trunk around the waist
OF the man, lifted him up in the air and
drew him to her. She began to caress
him, purring loudly all the while.
Come to find out this was the chemist
who had cured the animal of her sick
ness seven years before. The man re-
membered the elephant and the ele-
plant remembered the man. At the per-
Torrance which we gave the chemist
was among the spectators.
when the time came for the big ele-
plant to appear she walked right over
to the chemist and raised him from the
ground and Rugged him so close that it
was uncomfortable. But we could not
release him until the elephant was
ready. The elephant purred like cat
for almost 20 minutes"

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
RUNNING AWAY.

The Sky was clear, the stars were BRIGHT
The grass was wet with dew,
When Johnny rose, put on his clothes
And vowed what he would do.
" I'll leave my pa, I'll leave my ma,
I'll go from here to stay
They used me rough-IVe had enough
And so I'll run away.
I'll take my clothes I'll take my all
A slave l will not be;
III go out west, III do my best
I'll strike for liberty"
And Johnny started bravely out,
And said he'd neer return;
He said he'd go and make a show,
And let his genius burn.
He travelled all that summer night,
And bravely through the day.
" And then" said he. Il wish that we
Had never run away!
" I'm weak and tired and sick" said he.
With sadness in his tone;
" 1t isn't best to go out west
At least, to go alone!
" And now I'm in a pretty fix,
And don't know what to dor
And then he sighed and sobbed and cried
" Boo-hOo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo!
The boy. when found, was taken home,
And was content to stay.
Said he: I'm cured, and rest assured,
I'll never run away

As a resting place for a large potted

1t is not a difficult matter to construct

A CeRBoNlC ACID WELL
Saratoga Snid to Have the Only sup
NV of the Kind in the MOrld.


Four years ago wOrkmen boring for
q new spring at Saratoga, y. Y,
were startled when, with ire
mendous rush and roar, dirt, sand
and stones came flying up out Of
the hole, but not a bit of water APP
peared. For three days no one would

shower of dirt and stones ceased, and
no water, in fact, nothing visible, APP
peared. the rushing, roaring sound
continued This was heard for miles
and resemhled that made by number
of locomotives all blowing off steam
at once. At the end of this time it was
discovered that the noise was caused
by the rapid escape of natural carbOnic
acid gas. The gas was brought under
control. and is now bottled for CONNER
cial purposes, and the well is the only
one of the kind in the world.
The bottling of gas for transporter
bottling of liquid. The gas is sent
through iron pipes from the well to a
condenser, where it passes through a
succession of other pipes, each one in
turn COMPRISING it more than the last
and depriving it of more heat. At
length, having reached a pressure of a
thousand pounds to the square inch, it
is forced into iron cylinders about six
inches in diameter and somewhat more
than four feet in height. 1t is now of
consistency that would seem to be a
compromise between water and glycer-
inc, with the blush cast of ordinary
gas. In these cylinders or iron bottles
it is ready for transportation.
An interesting way in which to see
| the gas is to pour some of it from one
of the cylinders, at the same time con
verting it into solid. This is done by
wrapping heavy cloths round the
mouth of the cylinder when the top is
unscrewed, thus preventing the TOO rap
id escape of the gas into the air. But

a FELINE MASCOT,
This Cat Is nt Home in Locomotive
Cab or on Pilot.

Cab or on Pilot.
An engineer on the Delaware d Hud-
son road has cat with which he would
not part for love or money. 1t belonged
to his wife, who is now dead, and for a
year past it has been his constant COM
panion in the cab. The cat loves its life
on the rail, and has grown sleek and fat.
Ordinarily it sits perched up at the
cab window before its master, but oc-
casionally it strolls out to the pilot,
where it will ride at a stretch, winking
knowingly at the dogs which bark at
the train as it thunders by the cross
roads.
Sometimes when the train is ap
preaching station the adventurous ami
NAL climbs TO the top of the sandbox
and calmly roosts there, undeterred by
the shrek of the whistle or the clang OF
the bell. The locomotive has had good
luck ever since the animal became an
occupant of the cab, and the trainmen
look on it as a mascot.-N. Y. Press.

COLLEGE WOMEN AS WIVES.

a teacher at the Films school in Spring

What is the college woman's proba-

Letting a life companion whose tastes

thrown so freely together; where they
marry when and whom they WISH and
where the parents in many cases APP
parently have little else to do with the
matter than to pay the bills and try to
shield the young husband and wife
from the consequences of their folly.
The man whom a girl would have mar
