CURRENT MISCELLANY.

AS far as naturalists have been able
to discover, the elephant lives to the
greatest age of any of the animals with
which we are familiar. 1t takes 90 to
80 years and sometimes longer for ele-
plants to complete their growth. 1t is
recorded that certain specified animals
have lived more than $50 years, but the
statistics on subjects Of this sort are
necessarily incomplete and therefore
unreliable.
The lion is supposed to live 40 years,
although it is claimed that one kept in
the Tower of London attained the age
of 20 years. 1t is not supposed that he
would have lived to that age in his nat
ural condition.
The horse is a short lived animal,
but when carefully kept and allowed to
spend great deal of its time in pasture
it has been known to live past the age
of 40 years. The trouble with horses is
that they are fed for hard work. conse-
quently their feet and their digestion
wear out. Eighteen to "a years is a
very high average age for horses to at.
tain.
Cows live 10 or 20 years, but they
have very little value toward the latter
portion of this period, save in excep-
tional cases.

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Private John Aliens Tale OF a Dog-Ths
sohoolboy Kicked the Prince-Trout
Fishing Every Month.

Private John Allen of Tupelo, Miss,
spoke of the bowling Of the gallery an
ticivil service reform claqueurs during
the recent civil service debate in con-
gress and told his story to illustrate
why the galleries applauded.
"a friend of mine was telling me, "
said he, "about dog he had that howled
and moaned at nights. The dog kept
bowling and moaning until this gentle
man grew very weary of it. He did not
want to kill the dog and did not want
to give it away. He was talking to an
old darby and said to him: i don't
know what to do with that dog. He
keeps moaning and bowling all night,
and cannot stop him. What makes
him do it,
1.-THE old darby answered: why,
massa, you raised in de country among
dogs and don't know what make dat
dog howl dat wayf Why. he smells
something and can't locate it. +"
When the yells and cheers that greet
ed this story died down, Mr.. Allen
turned to the Republicans and added,
"Now, my friends, when you hear these
bowls of applause from these galleries
it simply shows that the crowd up there
smells pie and can't locate it. st

Eating Fat.

1t is mistake for the stout person to
refuse to eat fat. Starches and sugars,
represented in such vegetable foods as
bread, rice, tapioca and the like are fat
formers. The living body has a power
Of making fat out of that which is not
fat. And with this point is another
that fat itself does not go, directly at
least. to make fat in the body. Fat is,
on the other hand a valuable addition
to the diet of a corpulent person because
it has a power properly administered Of
burning off food excess. In more than
one. system of body reduction fat is
therefore administered as an essential
part and parcel of the diet cure. -

The difficulty of driving single hog
was well illustrated at the foot of Ninth
street recently. Some men were driving
herd of swine to Amherst, and as they
approached the bridge one of the ami
mails became obstreperous and bolted to-
ward the city, becoming thereby sepa
rated from the rest of the drove. The
three or four men, assisted by volun-
teers, placed themselves between the
city and the rebellious hog in a semicir-
Gle, while one Of their number advanced
cautiously and began to tickle the hog's
nose with a pine brush. This would
make the animal turn round, and each
time he did so he would move few
steps toward the bridge and the rest Of
the drove. The maneuvers were watch
ed with great deal of interest by a
large crowd of spectators, and when
finally the hayward one returned to the
bosom of the drove a very audible muir
muir of admiration went up from the
crowd. -Lynchburg News.

Trout Fishing Every Month In the Year

II. Garland, who has been fishing for
trout in the Elokamin, has returned
home. He caught so trout in one day,
averaging ten inches in length, the lar.
gest measuring % inches. In running
water they would rise to the hook and
make lively fight when hooked. He
hooked several steel head salmon, but
did not take any of them, as they were
too heavy for his trout rod, and he was
glad TO cut his line and let them take
his hook and as much line as was out.
Oregon is the only state in the Union
where good trout fishing can be enjoyed
