what He Did Object To,

The author of "Kings of the Hunt
ing Field" says that at a certain Eng
fish church many years ago. while the
clergyman was reading prayers, a mar
walked in, shouted GIVE got 'unl' and
Immediately withdrew. Hehad sounded
a well known call. Every farmer and
laborer who possessed a gun soon fol-
lowed him and in an hour or two
brought to the village inn the fox they
had shot.
Spirituality was in those days at a
very low ebb, and some clergymen
cared more for sport than for the exam
pie they set to their hocks. Bishops
tried to discountenance hunting as a
clerical pastime, but the law did not
enable them to emove the offenders
from their livings. DR.. Phillpotts,
bishop of Exeter, who called to account
several sporting clergymen in his do
cese, met one Of them at a friend S
house.
81 am told, my lord, that you object
to my hunting" said the clergyman.
Dear me, who could have told you
30 o. answered the bishop. "What !
object to is that you should ever do
anything else.

Bathing an Elephant.

If there is one thing which an ele-
plant enjoys above all things else, it is
his bath. In India elephants are used
to draw the great guns of the heavy
batteries. They take their baths in the
barracks, at the troughs where they
drink, and they behave much better
about it than many children. They
have to lie down and be patient while
they are washed by their attendants.
They turn themselves about very
promptly to suit their convenience.
The attendant rubs the hide with a
piece of stone instead of a sponge, and
if the stone slips out of his hand the
elephant politely picks it up with his
trunk and hands it back. After they
have been we'll scrubbed the elephants
give themselves a shower bath, using
their trunks to dash the water upon
themselves, and they can hit any part
Of their bodies with ease.

A Statement by the Committee That

Will Intererest Our Readers.
The HERALD last week alluded to
the subject of raising funds for the
reception of soldiers by Great Falls,
inferring, as appeared to this paper
at that time that the city of Great
Falls intended to raise most of the
money to pay expenses of this cele-
bration by the sale of badges, and
abiding to it as a sordid policy. 1t
appears that the HERALD was mis-
taken and we are glad TO correct the
impression conveyed by hat article.
The committee by it's secretary,
Capt, J. o. Gregg, has written an
explanatory letter in which he says:

Briefly described. steel pens are made
as follows: First the steel is rolled into
big sheets and then cut into strips
about three inches in width. The strips
are heated to a bright red and are then
allowed to cool gradually, which tenn
pers them. They are next rolled to the
necessary thinness and are cut into
blank fiat pens, and the pens, while
fat, are usually stamped with the
brand or the name of the manufacturer.
To shape the pens is the next process.
The rounding makes them hold the ink
and distribute 1t more evenly than
could be done if they were fiat. To
harden them they are heated to a cher
ry red and then suddenly cooled. This
not only hardens them, but makes them
elastic. The polishing, pointing and
finishing come next, and then they are
ready for use. The little holes in the
pens at the end Of the Sits serve to
make them more elastic and to facili-
tate the flow of the ink.
1t is said that more steel is now used
in the manufacture of pens than in
that of swords. 1t is even claimed that
the metal annually used in their manu-
~facture weighs more than all the metal
used in the manufacture of war imple-
ments. -Detroit Free Press.
