His handwriting.

Many stories are told relative to the
eligibility of the penmanship of Rufus
Choate, the famous lawyer 1t is said
that he once openly congratulated him
self on the fact that if he failed to get
q living at the bar he could still go to
China and support himself by his pen
that is, by decorating tea chests. -
He once asked that case might be
postponed owing to his engagement in
another court. The judge replied that
the case was one in which he might
write out his argument.
With mock solemnity Of counte.
nance which he knew SO well how to
assume at O moments notice he said:
II write well, your honor, but slow
ly."
This was too much for the judge and
the assembled bar, and the courtroom
echoed with prompt and unrestrained
hilarity. There was not lawyer pres
emit who had not more than once seen a
specimen of what one of Mr.. Choate' s
friends called his wildcat tracks" and
the joke needed no explanation. -

Feeding a Baby Elephant.

In St. Nicholas f. Fitz Roy Dixon
tells of baby elephant that was cap
tured by friends of his in Ceylon, after
the death of its mother. Mr.. Dixon says:
When Sidney was first brought over,
virtually in order that she might be
fed, the question naturally arose as to
he " she would take her nourishment.
OF course the proper way for an adult
elephant to take in water is by means
of the trunk, which is furnished with
two tubes running its whole length.
But when a bowl of milk was placed
before the baby elephant she did not
know what to do with it. She dipped
the tip of her trunk into it, and the
lockers on thought that there would be
no difficulty about her drinking at all,
since she recognized the scent Of the
nourishment she had been accustomed
to. But she was quite at loss and set
up roar which seemed quite natural
under the circumstances. Then some
one suggested pouring it down her
throat from bottle, and this was &C.
cordingly tried, and after one or two in
effectual attempts she understood.
She was half starved when this was
done, for she had had nothing to eat
since the death of her mother, and her
delight at being fed was most amusing
The only trouble was that it was diff
cult to satisfy her, and it was feared
that tho change of diet would disagree
with her, but fortunately it had no i'll

Test are the best, because they have the

Thick skinned oranges are apt to be dry
They either weigh less because OF hsv-

They are called mandarin and tanger-
