In st. Nicholas Il. Fitz Roy Dixon
tells of II 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 i'll 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 in water is by means
of the trunk, which is furnished with
two tubes running it's whole length.
But when n 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 Mt all,
since she recognized the scent of the
nonrishment she had been accustomed
to. But she was quite mt loss and set
up roar which seemed quite natural
under the circumstances. Then some
one suggested pouring it down her
throat from n bottle. and this was nc.
cordingly tried, and after one or two in.
ehectual 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, hut fortunately it had no i'll
| effect

rifles on all who went near him. The
Sheriff attempted to arrest him yes

with two rifles and was assisted by
his wife and two daughters, who used

knocked him over the head with

In the haste and excitement Of the

Anthony had said Sir, have to in
