A Paris correspondent writes that an
elephant in the Jardin des Plantes has
recently been the subject of numerous
defamatory accusations. The animal
was accused Of being a professional
thief, a y the Boston Transcript. The
story went that several visitors to the
Jardin des Plantes, who stopped to
view the elephant, had been relieved of
their purses, and OIL each occasion boys
who were present affirmed that they
had seen the animal seize the purse
with it's trunk and carry it to his
mouth. At last a provincial stopped
in front of the elephant and lost his
purse. He made a complaint and some
boys-the same boys, by the way-ac-
cused the elephant of having taken it.
But the animals keeper, recognizing
the boys, became suspicious and had
them searched, with the result that
the missing purse was found. The cor
respondents imagination also infiu-
cnces him to say that as soon as the
purse was discovered the elephant
showed his great joy by a vigorous
waving of his trunk.

WHY Men No Longer Dance.

The Diapers Journal, the leading or
gan of the trade in the world, has just
completed a searching investigation
into the causes of the present scarcity
of dancing men. 1t m to the con-
clusion that the materials now popular
for ball dresses of fashionable women
are largely responsible. These fabrics
and the materials with which they are
trimmed are often SO rough and sharp
that they soon destroy "the gloss and
perfect condition of a well-groomed
mans dress suit" 1t is, therefore,
with the idea of saving their dress
suits that the men decline to dance.

Two wonderful fossil specimens
have just been discovered in Germany
and delivered to the museum of the
University of Tuebingen. One Of
them, found in a N~usplingen lime
quarry in the heights of the Heubergs,
is the perfect skeleton of a large,
shark-like fish, imbedded. in the lime
stone in such a way as to show accu-
rately it's anatomical structure. The
other, found in the slate quarries OF
Halzmaden, near Kirchheim, is the
skeleton of a small i~cthyosaurus, with
every smallest bone in it's natural
articulation, the dorsal and caudal fins
intact, and the skin covering of the
webbed feet plainly distinguishable.
This latter specimen is declared to be
the most nearly perfect specimen of the
icthyosaurus yet found.

The Japanese government has de-
cided to recognize Christianity as one
of the religious organizations of the
country, and to give Christian minis
ters the same rights as are granted to
Buddhist and Shinto priests. A new
law, however, puts the affairs OF all
sects, including the building of
churches, the holding of meetings, the
settlement of preachers and methods
Of maintenance, under the control OF
local governors. Some solicitude is
~occasioned by the large powers of these
governors, who will be able, if SO dis
posed, to hinder missionary operations.

The United States government is an
extravagant book publisher. About
eighteen years ago it began the COM
pilation of the records of the Union
and Confederate armies, officially
known as the Rebellion Records. More
than one hundred and twenty volumes
have already been printed, as a cost
of nearly three million dollars, and the
series is not yet complete. Few per-
sons would question the historical
value of this great work, but many
might doubt the wisdom of so free a
distribution of the volumes at public
expense. In country public libraries
the books are rarely used enough to
pay for the space they fill. In Lisbon,
N. H., for example, the librarian re-
1ates this incident: A small boy stood
before the hundred massive volumes
and said, my! wouldn't l like to read
them The permission was speedily
granted. The boy took one of the
books from the shelf, but for some rea-
Sol did not carry it away. That"
concluded the librarian, sis the only
call for these books that I can remem-
Der in years to have had"

WOMEN IN BABYLON.
Rights in Business and Property Matters
We've Upheld.

Rights in Business and Property Matters
We've Upheld.
Babylonian maidens held property in
their W right and there were def
mite marriage stipulations relating to
dowry, incidentally indicating the de-
pendence of the son on his fathers
wishes in the choice of a wife, says
the Boston Transcript. The dowry
contracts were definite, stating the
amount and nature of the property to
be given, providing for payment by a
brother in case Of the fathers decease,
the dowry being regarded as a legally
collectible debt, payable in kind if
money were lacking. The legal recipi-
ent of the dowry was the son-in-law,
yet the daughter (wife) retained such
proprietary interest therein that if in
vested in realty by the husband it was
in his Wife's name. Married women
were competent to conduct transactions
relating to money, to realty and to
slaves, their contracts being sometimes
witnessed by the husband; while vari-
Gus business transactions were per-
formed in common by husband and
wife, the former being alone respon-
sible as guarantor, the mere presence
of the wife giving legality to the hus-
bands transactions, at least in certain
cases. There are indications that hus-
band and wife enjoyed approximately
equal rights with respect to property,
the control of children, ETC.; there is
little reference to the husbands duty
to support the wife, though it appears
that in case Of divorce the husband
paid alimony according to his means.
Frequent reference to slaves appears in
the contracts, but the author postpones
discussion of the subjects of slavery
and Of the condition of female slaves.
The information brought to light
through the study of these ancient con-
tracts bears on the development of in
stitutions. Apparently the regula-
tons governing the contracts studied
pertained chiefly to urban life; certain
ly the regulations seem hardly in &C
cord with the customs prevailing
among contemporary nomadic tribes
and still maintained among their de-
s%ccndants of similar habit.
