Feeding q 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 it's mother. Mr.. Dixon says:
When Sidney was first brought over,
virtually in order that she might be
fed, the question naturally arose as to
how she would take her nourishment.
Of course the proper way for an adult
elephant to take i'll water is by means
of the trunk, which is furnished with
two tubes running it's 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 a loss and set
up a roar which seemed quite natural
under the circumstances. Then some
one suggested pouring it down her
throat from a bottle, and this was ac-
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 the change of diet would disagree
with her, but fortunately it had no i'll
effect.

don and Montreal. The Milwaukee's
cargo capacities are II 800 tons dead

actual carrying may be gagged by the
enumeration of her present cargo,
which was as follows: Five hundred

A BACHELORS QUARTERS.
Nothing Homelike About Them, Accord
ing to the Married Mans Story


ing to the Married Mans Story.
They hadn't met since the old college
days, ten years before, and of course the
benedict insisted that the bachelor
should come home to dinner with him.
Married the year after 1 left col
lege," he said, and I have the incest
little home and the finest lot of young
sters that you ever saw. 1 want you 20
como out and sae how nicely I'm fixed.
L tell you man doesn't know what
life is until he's married."
"No?"
Well, / should say not"
And SO it happened that the bachelor
went with the benedict and met the
latter's wife and played with his chill
dren and made himself generally useful
and popular until they were all seated
at the dinner table.
1t was over the coffee and cigars, aft
er the benedict wife had left the table,
that the benedict finally suggested:
Pretty comfortably fixed, amt /, old
man? Children, why don't you go into
the ether room?''
Very nicely, indeed" answered the
bachelor, replying to the first question
and ignoring the second.
"Oh, there's nothing like home life, !"

THAT FAMILY CLOSET.

Abide Therein.
Every family has it's skeleton. We

only family members have the key-a
skeleton key, probably. Only when the
family is alone, with no visitors about.
does it go to the door cautiously and
unlock it and bring the bony occupant
forth The family knows its own skele-
ton, but outsiders are supposed to be in
total ignorance of it's existence, and if
they are wiser than people think them
Ind of course they always are-it is only
point of politeness to pretend to be
blind and deaf.
Of how many kinds are family skele-
tons? The JOneses possessed an uncle
who died insane. You can't go near the
Jones cupboard, or, in other words,
even hint at the subject of hereditary
insanity in their presence, without the
skeleton audibly knocking its bones to-
gether and all the Joneses turning pale.
You can I. mention Turkish bonds to the
Browns without their jaws suddenly
falling you can think why. And when
drink statistics form the cheerful SUBJ
ject of conversation at the Robinsons'
table you observe with wonder that all
the family grow uncomfortable and
writhe in their chairs. You haven't the
faintest notion why, but the skeleton
has
/ met a man once at dinner party
who was perfectly sane upon every
point on earth but one, and on that he
was the opposite. He could talk about
politics, science, art, Shakespeare and
the musical glasses, but if by any
chance the conversation touched ON
dueling he went straight off his head
then and there.
Dueling was the skeleton in his cup
board, and the reason was one that can
not be enlarged upon here. On one day
in every year he shut himself up in his
house and was not seen by mortal eye.
That was the one day when his skele-
ton came out and stalked about.
Many people have what seems to the
general public a harmless enough skele-
ton, but it is real and CHASTITY to them
selves. 1t is of humble origin. 1t is sur
prising the pains people will take to
conceal that their grandfathers were
poor, but honest, the lies they will tell
(Which only proves that the grandpar-
ent's qualities have not descended in
the direct line) and the meannesses they
will indulge in, in the pitiable effort to
hide the fact that two generations ago
they kept small greengrocer's shop or
wore plush and powder. After all, the
longer the line the more certain it is to
contain ancestors who won their bread
by the sweat of their face.
If all the world were not descended
from the same grand old gardener, ;"
there might be more common sense in
trying to forget honest toil.-English

"And, curiously enough, while in
other respects he remained as punctil

went out in all sorts of weather with

in this regard that led fiHally to his
death. Out without a macintosh in a
