Elephant Life In the Jungle..

Without elephants jungles would be
virtually impossible. The great beasts
are a mixture of strength and weakness,
of craft and simplicity. The paths
through the jungle from village to vii
lage are merely tracks from which the
interlacing foliage has been cut and
thrust aside and the virgin soil trod-
den into black mud. After a rain this
mud is many feet deep, and no living
creature except an elephant, buffalo
or a rhinoceros could labor through 1T.
The elephant makes his way by lifting
one foot at time and inserting it deep
into the slough in front, withdrawing
another with sound like the popping
of q huge champagne cork. Nothing but
ride on an earthquake could be COM
pared with the sensation Of being run
away with by an elephant. AS for stop
ping him, some one has well said that
you might as well try to stop runa-
way locomotive by pulling with your
walking stick on the funnel as seek to
check an elephant at such moment

Good Friends.

In cavalry troop there generally
grows up between each horse and his
rider strong bond of sympathy and
friendship. Soldiers in the cavalry serv-
ice are in most cases stationed at remote
western posts, where, far from home
and friends and as rule unmarried,
they are necessarily very limited in
their social pleasures and amusemeuts.
On this account, perhaps, the propensi-
ty for having pets of various kinds is
very strongly developed and increases
the sense of fellowship between the
horses and their riders. Cruelty or in
attention to the wants of their horses is
rare trait among cavalrymen, and
even should this be the case from the
feeling of proprietorship cruelty from
one soldier to the horse of another would
be resented as an injury to the owner
himself.
This comradeship is more in evidence
upon a long march or while in the field
engaged upon arduous or dangerous du-
ties. On such occasions, when forage
often becomes scarce, cavalry soldiers
will jealousy guard every grain that
their horses receive, and should the SER
geant through carelessness or prejudice
give trifie more or less to one than the
other it often provokes vast deal of
grumbling, so closely is the trooper in
terested in the welfare of his horse. -

A Queens Indiscretion.

In connection with the stories of Bis
marck's enemies among royal ladies
the following anecdote, which has new
er been publicly related, may now be
printed: Queen Sophia OF the Neither
lands, the first wife of King William
Ill of Holland, was too great friend
of the Emperor Napoleon III, the En-
press Eugene and of France generally
to take kindly to the great chancellor.
Before the big war of 1870 and proba-
bly, some time after the Luxembourg
suuabble there was an international ex-
hibition in Amsterdam, which the queen
visited. She was conducted over the
whole place by the committee, and as
they came to certain section one OF
the members said, Now your majesty
will see the greatest enemy of Ger
many" "Ah Bismarck" she cried
with some glee. The members stood
aghast and never repeated this rash ex-
clamation. The greatest enemy he
had to exhibit was not, of course, Bis
marck at all, but only very much en-
larged reproduction of either the phyl-
loxera or the Colorado beetle, which at
that time did great deal of harm to
German agriculture. -Westminster Ga

Foy and the Lunatic.

Eddie Foy, the comedian, spent
summer vacation at his old home III
central New York. One day as he was
strolling past the large insane asylum
that stands on the outskirts of the town
he was startled by low 'Hist!' and
on looking up saw one of the worst
heads that ever came under his gaze
peering over the wall. Eddie was not
frightened, for he did not think the
maniac could scale the wall, but he
quickened his pace. He had proceeded
but a short distance when he heard a
scrambling, and on looking saw that
the mailman had climbed over the wall
and was following him. Eddie walked
fast, but the maniac, who was an I'M
mense fellow, with "a face that wore
demoniac look, walked faster. Foy trot-
ted a little, and the mailman trotted
after him. Eddie finally broke into a
run and was Mortified to see that his
pursuer was not only running also, but
was gaining steadily. Eddie is not much
of a sprinter, but on this occasion he
made remarkable time, but soon Toy
could hear the labored breathing of his
pursuer and felt that he could make no
further effort. Just as he was about TO
faint from exhaustion the maniac
reached forward, touched him gently OF
the shoulder and said: Tag! You're
it. San Francisco Argonaut.

Some Predictions.

The snthor Of the Vision Of Piers
Plowmnn, work written in the reign
of Edward Ill, predicted with great dis
tinctness the fall of the religious houses
in England. AS every one knows, the
event took place in the reign Of Henry
VIII, about 200 years later.
Sir Walter Raleigh foresaw and pre-
dicted the spread Of nonconformity In
England His weighty and memorable
words were: thine will even bring it
TO pass, if it be not resisted, that God
will be turned out of churches into
barns, and from thence again into the
fields and mountains and under hedges.
All order of discipline and church gov
eminent will be left to newness of opin-
ion and mems fancies. and as many
kinds of religion spring up as there are
parish churches in England.
In a work written 500 years before
the event took place Tacitus foresaw
and predicted the evils and disorders
which were so long TO desolate Europe
on the fall of the Roman empire.
His words are worthy of repetition:
when the Romans shall be hunted
out from these countries which they
have conquered, what will then hap
pen? The revolted people, freed from
their master oppressor, will not be able
TO subsist without destroying theil
neighbors, and the most cruel wars viii
exist among all these nations. "

The Bells.

1t was in the late John Sartain s mag
azine that Poe's poem, 1.-The Bells,
was first printed OF Poe's last visit to
him in his old SAMSON street house Mr..
Sartain recently said: 1T was on a
Monday in lS49. Poe had been locked
up in Moyamensing prison over Sunday
for intoxication and was completely un-
strung. He thought there was conspir-
acy to kill him and asked to be hidden.
/ humored the frenzied poets hallucina-
ton, and for two days he remained IN
concealment in the SAMSON street house.
l even went so far as TO cut off Poe s
mustache, at the latter's request, III or
der that his fancied enemies might not
recognize him. +" The first draft Of 1.-The
Bells consisted of only two stanzas,
and for these he was paid $50. A couple
of days later he appeared with another
verse, and before the poem was pub
lished he had added again to it. BY
this means he received $40 for the poem,
and had not the day of publication been
near at hand he would probably have
kept on adding TO it in the hope OF re-
ceiying additional remuneration. New

Lesson For the Week beginning Jan. o.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates. A. NJ.
Topic, Soul Winning.

SCRIPTURE READING. Luke xiv, 20; Ps OK,
o; III Tim. Nv, l, 2.
Gods day Of power comes when the
people are willing. No revival of reli-
zion eyer secured until the people were
needing add desiring better conditions.
However divine the work may be, the
human side of it is most apparent, and
our chief concern must be with this hu-
man side. The miraculous ever waits
manifestation and only lacks proper
conditions to be displayed. Reason gov
ems the universe, and the highest realm
OF its exercise is in the spiritual nature.
Religion, Christianity, holiness of heart
and life are the highest reaches of rea-
son. 1t is great mistake TO suppose
that faith comes in where reason goes
out. 1t is equally false to think that
the more of Gods power the less OF
mans. 1t sounds meek and pious to be
frequently disclaiming all credit for
results obtained and to ascribe all to
the power of the Holy Ghost 1t sounds
like great faith to assert that the Holy
Spirit is able to do all things in spite OF
human conditions and cooperation.
|
seeming. 1t is un-Scriptural as well as
unreasonable. All goodness is from the
Holy Spirit Wherever among men any
virtue or purity appears its source is
the Spirit of God. But this holiness OF
nature never takes possession of a hu-
man being and reappears in words and
looks and deeds until the person desires
10 hn Uh
good and to be right and good. Then
the Transforming power of God takes all
the human powers and gives new ener-
| gy and direction. The human is not on
| ly TRANSPORTED by divine beauty, but is
actually made over into new forms and
enlarged capacities. The human and
| divine wills agree.
| Another tact in human nature is often
unrealized. This is the need of a mas
ter which appears in every person. No
one is capable of complete self direction.
| The unaided and unillumined human
nature is not sufficient and safe guide
| for human conduct. No soul attains
complete happiness and contentment OF
nature so long as it is self directed. Lib
erty of soul is not disregard of a higher
power and its commands. Willing self
surrender and self devotion to God are
the secret of peace and power. Every
one needs the rulership of a higher
power. Our ignorance and doubts de-
mand one with wisdom to whose direc'
tion we yield. Our weakness must find
one with strength who can impart con.
fidence In Christ alone all needs are
satisfied Here the soul finds rest.
We must so exalt Jesus as to find full
satisfaction of all requirements of oul
nature. We must then bend every en-
ergy to bring men to accept Him al
their Saviour
All this, far from making us less &C
tive in business, will give US more O
application because we shall then have
an incentive for all work worthy of oul
highest effort. When we work for Coz
and with Him, our whole being is en-
nobled.

Wrestling with the Csar.

One of the stories of Peter the Great
heard in st. Petersburg is Of the great
ozar's wrestling match with . young
Dragon.
Once in the imperial palace, SO the
story goes, Peter was at table with
great many princes and noblemen, and
soldiers were posted within the hall.
The car was in joyous mood, and, ris-
ing, called out to the company:
"Listen, princes and boyars. Is there
among You one who will wrestle with
me TO pass the time and amuse the
czar?"
There was no reply. and the car re-
peated his challenge No prince or no
bleman dared wrestle with his soyer-
eign But all at once young dragon
stepped out from the ranks OF the sol
diers on guard
Listen, Orthodox car, +" he said. II
will wrestle with thee.
"Well, young dragon" said Peter,
II will wrestle with thee, but on these
conditions: II thou throwest me, i will
pardon thee, but if thou art thrown
thou shalt be beheaded. Wilt thou
wrestle OH those conditions?"
II will, great car" said the soldier.
They closed, and presently the SOL
der with his left arm, threw the car,
and with his right he prevented him
from falling to the ground. The sover-
eign was clearly beaten.
Somewhat in the spirit of Herod, the
o1ar offered the soldier whatever reward
he should claim, and the soldier igno-
bly, claimed the privilege of drinking
free as long as be lived in all the inns
belonging to the crown. Youths Com
