When | was in the country once

plant, well hobbled, info a pasture
field, by consent of the owner. A
little mare was in that field with her

fierce attack on the elephant with
her heels. She played a merry tat

turned his big back upon her and
tried to run away. He was hobbled
SO that running was a ludicrous fail

caught him with her sharp teeth or

legs, which always makes an ele-
plant look as if his suspenders were
not braced up short enough, and she
hung on to him fiercely.

Who does not remember the blood
curdling picture in the old Sunday
school books, where the two she
bears were devouring the hapless
children who had pointed out the ex
celsior path to Elisha of the high
forehead A few days ago a bright
little boy of four, who, though most
carefully guarded, sometimes picks
up phrases which are the last his
parents would have him hear, saw
company of Salvationists pass
him with their beating of drums and
their odd attire. He hailed them
from the doorstep with Pound il

His grandmother from the country
heard and was Mortified. She at once
proceeded to teach him lesson in
reverence. Don't you know, John.
ny" she said, that those people are
working for the Lord, just as the
prophets used to do in old times. II
is wicked to make fun of them.
Once some children cried out as the
prophet Elisha passed, Go up, thou
baldheadr and God sent two she
bears out of the woods and they ate
them all up" Johnny's eyes grew
big, and bursting into tears he
chilled the pious expectations of his
anxious teacher by exclaiming be

THE CUP USED BY JESUS.

1t Is Said to Be Made of Green GIass
and Was Fa~nod Once for 1000, 600.
The sacred cup the traditional
''Sacro Catino," belonging to the
cathedral at Genoa, which for centu
ries has been supposed to have been
carved from perfect emerald, has
lately been thoroughly inspected by
a jeweler, who pronounces it simply
green glass. The cup, which is more
pan than cup shaped, is fourteen
inches wide and five inches deep, and
is by many believed to be the identi
cal cup used by Jesus at the institu-
ton of the Lords supper. After
the crucifixion it is said to have
fallen into the hands of King Herod.
who used it in a triumphant way a!
many wild banquets.
According to tradition, it came into
the hands of the officers of the Ge-
noese republic in the year 1101, hay
ing been given as an equivalent for
money due from the crusaders, who
had captured the relic during their
famous expeditions to the east. AT
the beginning of the Fourteenth cen
fury the Genoese government pawned
the cup for the magnificent sum OF
f200, 900 and afterward redeemed it,
more on account of its supposed value
as gem than for its historical worth
Had the officials known what now
seems to be the fact, that the cup
was simply an extraordinary speci-
men of the glass workers art, the
f200, 600 would no doubt have been
slow in forthcoming When the
French captured Genoa the "Sacro
Catino" was a part of the spoils.
Their chemists, jewelers. glass work
ers and others tested the sacred cup,
the majority of the experimenters
concurring in the belief that it had
been fashioned from a genuine en-
erald of great size and extraordi-
nary fineness.
Among the dissenters was Chervi,
who commended that the sacred relic
was made of glass. Since that time
the genmneness OF the cup has been
doubted The testimony of the Amer
lean jeweler mentioned adds weight
to the supposition. Many believe, be
it glass or gem, that it is really what
the church claims-a relic of our

What War Pas Cost During Thirty Years.
1t appears, according to the est
mates of French and German Stats
ticians, that there have persisted in
the wars of the last thirty years 2, $780,
900 men, while there has been ex-
pended to carry them on no less than
the inconceivable sum of S13, 600, 00O, .
900, OF this amount France has paid
nearly So, 500, 900 as the cost of the
war with Prussia, while her loss in
men is placed at 1855, 200.
Of these, so, 900 We're killed on the
field of battle, SO, 900 died of sickness,
accidents or suicide, and 10000 in
German prisons, while there died
from other causes enough to bring
the number up to the given aggre
gate. The sick and wounded amount
ed to AT, 42l, the lives of many thou
sands cf whom were doubtless short

Rich Cochran, a popular young man
from the Wade precinct and candidate
