KINGS AMONG ELEPHANTS.

plants to wait on Them.

Two Fine Beasts That Had Slave Els-
plants to wait on Them.
It was our good fortune to be present
at an important meeting of the "Khed-
1ah' at Chia, on the banks of the
Ianges, where the Nepalese govern
ment had sent down its magnificent
troop of tame elephants for the chase
If the wild ones, says St Nicholas.
They were about $50 in number-mag-
nihcent, noble creatures The TWO
finest among them were the kings
Of the troop and were called BiJh
Prasad and Narain Gaj Prasad. Bijli
Prasad, which means lord Of light
ming" was such grand fellow! The
width Of his brows was so great that
he could not put his head through our
hall door. and he knows 20 the small
est point what q mighty creature he is.
He and his companion, Narain Ga1
prasad which means the peerless
lord, are provided with two slave ele-
plants and the only duty of the lat
ter is to fetch and provide fodder for
BILL and Narain Cal. They do their
duty right well At early dawn their
mahouts, or drivers. drive tfem into
the jungles and they work like real
slaves. They collect the sweet sugar.
canes, tearing them up by their roots,
the young, succulent grasses and ten
der leaves, and heap them up IN
masses. which weigh about 800 pounds
each. These loads are put on their
backs and thrice day they gladly
carry i'm their burdens and lay them
at the feet Of their lords. We went out
by moonlight to see the latter fed and
lany child would enjoy the strange
sight First of all the mahout makes
q great campfire Of twigs and brush
wood and on il lie places a large HAT,
iron dish, supported on two bricks.
Then he takes wheat -four and meads
It with water into great round, fat
cakes about an inch thick and twice
the circumference Of soup plate.
These cakes he bakes on the IRON
| dish. We were anxious TO taste til I'M,
| and we found them very good We
/ punched out with our fingers all the
nice brown spots and ate them piping
| hot And TO make mp to Bill and
Narain fox taking part Of their supper
SIC had prepared a treat Of which they
are particularly fond. From the ba-
laar we had brought great balls OF
sugarcane juice boiled down and made
solid called "goor' in that country.
Each ball was twice the size of ten
mis- BAN and in each wheatcake, or
chapai, we rolled a lump Of this
molasses. You should have seen how
be bis beasts enjoyed their feed-how
heir great trunks rested down on our
shoulders with the utmost gratitude.

A GREAT EXODUS.
when the jews Left Spain Rather Than
Repudiate their Faith.

Pearson's Weekly: The expulsion OF
the Jews from Spain can hardly be
called an emigration" since their pas
sage from Spain was rather a matter
Of compulsion Yet, in sense, the
toOice was given them. The queen and
king Of Spain Ferdinand and Isabella
issued an edict for the expulsion OF
all Jews who refused Christian bap-
tism. but, as Prescott says, there were
found very few, when the day Of de-
parture arrived, who were not pre-
pared to abandon their country rather
than their religion. Consequently,
when March 80, 1892 arrived. what
was, practically speaking. a whole ma
tion began to emigrate. All the prin-
cipal routes through the country
swarmed with emigrants. "old and
young, the sick and the helpless, men,
women and children, mingled prOmis-
cuously together, some mounted on
horses or mules, but far the greater
Dart undertaking their painful pilgrim
age on foot" Eighty thousand at least
passed into Portugal; others scattered
over Europe and North Africa The
whole number of Jews expelled from
Spain is variously computed from 16O,-
600 to 100000 souls II appears from
the statement Of the Bernaldez that
the kingdom of CASTLE contained five
sixths OF the Jews in the Spanish mon
archy, and from this computation the
figures are set at $1,000.

Florida Farmers Iiau to get Rtoh by
Heating The Railroads
The Louisville & Nashville railroad
has recently uncovered a clever but
old-fashioned scheme Of robbery which
has puzzled ITS detectives for two
years, says the Charleston CIV. Va)
Gazette Jackson county, Florida,
raises a few cattle, but it isn't a Texas
ranch by a great deal For two years
past all the cattle in this county seem
to have cultivated the Louisville q
Nashville. The number of cows killed
ON that line In this county exceeds
anything in the history of the road.
Detective Watts has been looking up
the previous condition of seryitude or
these numerous valuable sacrihces 20
engines and has discovered plot
which has cost the company thousands
of dollars. The man who conceived
and executed this coup is J. ID. Silly.
He is an artist It was Sully's idea to
scour the country adjoining the rail-
road and buy up all the lame, halt
and blind cattle to be had. An old COW
is worth about S150. Silly would
chase these attenuated creatures and
drive them to his farm. What he did
with them the neighbors neither knew
nor cared until the railroad people be-
gan an investigation Then Silly took
to the swamps The detectives discov-
cred that the cows which the slow
Florida trains were killing all belonged
to the tribe Of has beens." and that

watch on Silly. A few nigl after
that Silly led poor old COW dow
to the tracks, tied her securely to the
cross ties and then waited while a

day watts went on hunt for Silly,

INVENTED THE MATCH.

Sir Isaac Holden, who Has just Died
at an Advanced Age.
Argonaut: Sir Isaac Holden, the in
ventor Of the lucifer match, died re-
Gently in England at the age Of 81.
Though he did not profit by the inyen-
tion, others, especially in wooden ma
chinery, gave him a large fortune. He
set out comparatively early in life to
live as long as possible. In the mat
ter of exercise his rule was to spend
at least two hours a day in the open
air, and II is told OF him that on first
going to work in his youth, he agreed
with his employer that instead Of hay-
ing a yearly vacation he should have
an hour every afternoon in which to
take walk In the use Of alcohol
he was abstemious, yet not total abb
stainer. and he smoked tobacco mod
erately In diet, his chief popularity
was that he avoided bread. His chief
foods in his later years were meats,
SOUPS and fruits. Yet he was not a
man who lived by invariable rules, for
he was long a member OF the house OF
Icommons, and when over so years old
he saw the sessions out at 2, 8 and 4
O'Clock in the morning, and smoked
long cigars in the smoking room.
