Elephant vs. snnrro,v.

A pugnaeious sparrow the other day few into the elephant house in the Central Park menagerie, New York, and began picking up the crumbs from the table of the elephant then inside. The mammoth and midget apparently did not see each other for some time, until the former, in shifting his posi- tion, nearly placed his ponderous foot on the latter The fighting little speck of fuss and feathers evidently accepted his thoughtless act as a challenge to battle, and at once flew in the ele- plants face. The great beast looked astonished, and, sending a small cy- clone through his trunk, raised such cloud of hay and dust that the bird was lost sight of.
 When the air was cleared, the biped was seen on the quadruped's back. A shake of the elephants loosely fitting, tough, though sensitive hide, frighten- ed the little fellow, who hopped to the floor and looked into the face of his antagonist
 Thus they stood as though trying to recover breath for few seconds, when the elephant reached out his trunk towards the sparrow. The bird with outstretched wings and rufTfed feathers, threw himself, with full force at the end of the threatening proboscis. Then came gentle blast of air from the elephants lungs, and the sparrow was blown against the wall of the house. The little fellow, without even so much as a parting look at his huge antago- mist, mounted to the open window and disappeared

Amusing Knorr1edSe.

Take a hard boiled egg and place it on the edge of a plate, holding the tip of the pointing finger lightly on the oth- CT end to keep it in position. Having first wound light string around the body of the egg, quick spinning mo- tion can be obtained by pulling the string quickly. The egg will be seen spinning for some time within the plate. There is also another method of standing an egg on end and making a new Columbus discovery.
 Instead of making the egg spin on the plate one can also chase it around the room. like top, by using a whip of well twisted cord. As the egg will nec- essarily strike in some corner or crack while spinning, one may use an arti- fcial egg instead, such a one as is used for darning stockings. This ''unbreak- able" egg can be spun with all zest around the floor as long as the impell- ing force keeps up.

OUR LITTLE GRAY HELPER.
Poorly Equipped by Nature, Yet He Does
 His Work We'll.

His Work We'll.
 We have little gray helper who cannot hear, nor see, nor make any noise He wears little gray coat and he lives in tiny caves which he burrows out for himself Our little gray helper has no feet, so he crawls.
 He works busily for us all day in the ground under our feet, coming out chiefly at night to get his food. Then he does not take anything which any one wants, but only fallen leaves and bits of stuff which no one cares about, and which are best out of the way
 Although much less fortunate than we, having neither legs, nor feet, nor hands, nor eyes, nor ears, he has all that is necessary to the performance of the work he has to do; and since our little gray helper has all he needs, and does his work, and does it we'll We may think of him as being quite con- tent and happy And since the work that he does for us is very necessary and important work, and since he does it exceedingly well, we need not re- gard him with less than respect.
 He has system of blood vessels, a nervous system, and-yes, a brain. When you come to consider him under microscope and in relation to the work he has to do, he is quite an inter- esting and exquisite bit of mechanism. He uses his brain, and has wisdom to know what to eat and how to get it. Though he has neither eyes nor hands, before taking anything into his cave, he examines it carefully by means of his one sense (touch), and with his little upper lip, which the scientists call prostomium. This lip is very sen- s1tive
 lie is prudent and thrifty, always dragging into his little house enough to secure him against the coming day, for blind and deaf as he is, he knows it is not wise to be out in the daytime, for the birds and their babies like him entirely too we'll
 He also knows that, being of chilly nature. he will need to be warped up bit when he goes to sleep in his cave, so he makes his own lit tie bed of blades of grass and bits of leaves which he has dragged in with the little lip that does so much. He seems to like fresh air when he can get it, so he rests with his head near the mouth of his cave; and Mother Na- ture. realizing that this might give Robin Redbreast an unfair advantage of him, provided him with a head covering darker than the rest of his coat, and very nearly the color of earth.

CireNlar Skirt.

One of the most fashionable skirts now in vogue is here illustrated in mix ed grey yelling trimmed with ruchings of the material edged with narrow sat- in ribbon.
 The upper portion is of circular shap- ing fitted at the top by short darts, to the lower edge of which the graduated flounce is joined. The founce is very deep in back and narrow in front, which gives the admirer tablier effect so very generally becoming.
 The placket is finished at top of the center seam in back, the fullness at the waist being laid in deep single plaits at each side. Gathers may be employed to adjust the fullness if so preferred. The sweep at the foct measures 4% yards.
Semi=weekly graphic., 1898-12-14

center front support the deep yoke that is included in the right shoulder seam, and closes with tJie standing collar over on theleft shoulder. The over fronts lap to left and close invisibly with the shaped belt Over the seamless back that is smooth at the top a rounded yoke facing is applied, the fullness at the lower edge being laid in overlap ping plaits at the center.
 A novel feature is the smooth round bertha of white cloth that outlines the yoke edged with narrow black "friz- zed'' ribbon and the shaped belt that lengthens the waist line.
 The stylish sleeves are shaped with two seams, the upper portions being adjusted by gathers and tacking over the fitted lining to form puff at tho top. At the wrists a narrow pointed cuff is joined that flares downward over the hand.
 Very satisfactory results are obtain ed by combinations in a waist of this kind, which may either match or con- trast with the waist. Turquoise blue with black in silk or velvet, oleander pink silk with olive broadcloth and dark red satin wish soft grey green poplin, are new and artistic combina- tions in coloring that unite with black or cream guipure new so fashionable.
 To make this waist for lady of medium size will require two yards Of material forty-four inches wide.

AcRosT c POEM.

Never. never let us tarry, as We go the
 way of life. Ever fearless and undaunted, let us
 battle through the strife. Verify, tis hard to follow in the way that conscience shows, Even he who plants the seeding, still
 must tend the flower he sows, Rendering what God has given, into
 gentle harmony, Sowing through the coming harvest we
 may never, never see, And although death soon o'ertakes ust
 when this mission we fulfil, Yet, although the world forgets US.
 virtue will remember still. Dare, then, to exist and labor, close to
 Mother Natures breast, In this world our tasks await us, and
 we have no time to rest, Even though the way be dreary, God
 must know that all is best.

Great Names.

This game can be played by as many as like to take part
 Every player is provided with paper and pencil, and at a given signal each begins to write down on the paper all the names of celebrated people that he can recall, beginning with the letter musicians, artists, authors, Bible characters, or any others-only the player must be able to prove whether he really lived and what he was One of the players must time the game with watch. He gives, say. three min- utes for the letter "A" and by that time all must stop writing. Then go on with all the letters of the alphabet, giving the same time for each The one who has the largest number of names is the winner.

 Procure a common pepper-box. and get a tinman to unsolder the bottom, and then fasten on to it a tube of tin that will just fit the inside of the box, like telescope. At the bottom side of this tube a slit must be cut that will let quarter slip through In the lid of the box a duplicate top is to be fas- tened, leaving inside piece of tin, that will rattle when shaken. Now for the trick. Take the box in the left hand, ask one of the company for quarter, and to marksit that it may be identified. With the right hand draw off the lid, and request that the money be put into the box. It will of course slip through
