An Elephants Tongue.

Whoever has looked inside an ele- plants mouth has seen strange sieht. Elephants have no front teeth and they never eat flesh or any food that requires tearing teeth. Eight teeth are all they have, two above and below on each side, huge yellow molars as wide as mans hand and about two inches thick. Over these hay or fodder is shifted by the queerest, ngliest tongue in the whole animal kingdom, q tongue that is literally hung at both ends, having no power or movement except in the middle,
 where if shifts back and forth from side to side, arching up against the roof of the big mouth like an immense wrinkled pink serpent.

GnMEz,s EAREMELL.

The farewell manifesto which Cen
Gomez issued in Havana on Tuesday does
not appear to have made a very profound
impression on the Cubans. Il is doubt
full if they care much about him one way
or the other. They appiauded him when
it seemed The thing 10 DO. and the gener-
ais and many of the people reviled him
when he advised them to pursue a course
which was not agreeable to them.
According TO the dispa tches there was
a wide difference in the comments on the
address in Havana. The Americans APP
peared 70 regard 1t with more favor than
the Cubans. AS rule they were willing
to admit that the general was sincere in
his announcement that he believed his
mission TO be ended but the Cubans who
are not friendly TO him are Of the opinion
that he will soon return to Cuba from San
Domingo and viii be active in the politics
of the island. They don't think he is sin
cere when he says he has no ambitions.
But whatever Gen. Gomez's intentions
are it must be admitted that thus far
since the evacuation of Cuba by the Span
ards, he has acted with much greater
good sense than any other one Of the dis
tinguished Cubans. The counsel which ne
has given the people has been good, and
if they were TO follow 1t their chance
for happy and prosperous future would
be much better than if they should allow
themselves to be led by the small politi-
clans and demagogues who are trying to
bring about trouble between Cuba and this
country.
Gen. Gomez believes-at least he acts as
If he believes-that our government will
act in good faith in dealing with Cuba
There is no doubt that it will. The Gu
bans will be given a government of their
own If the majority of them desire it, An
independent government will not be al
lowed in Cuba, however. until the people
are ready for it, To set up an independ-
ent government there now would be to in
wife a revolution. Until the people become
settled and accustomed to the changes
which have taken place it would be the
hight of folly TO do anything of that kind.
1t has cost this country too much to drive
the Spaniards out of Cuba to allow a
condition of affairs there that would be
a source Of constant annoyance to it. The
Cubans viii have independence when they
are fitted for It, and not before.

Down in Missouri lives a boy who likes
pets, says the Kansas City Star. He be-
gan with pair of pigeons that he got in
trade for a dog that he had traded a
knife for. His parents allowed him TO
Keep the pigeons until they multiplied so
that there were pigeons all over the place.
Then he sold the pigeons and bought a
goat that ate the clothes off the line every
Monday. He was compelled 10 dispose of
ii, and traded it for a pair of game chick
ems. In week there wasn't a rooster left
in the neighborhood; the game rooster
had killed them all. His father took the
game chickens for a ride one night and
lost them three miles out in the country.
Three days afterward the boy brought
them home, but he never told any one
how he got them. And so he fought for
his pets one by one, his dog was lost. his
lamb stolen, his rabbits ran away. He
has come down to one old hen.
Recently he bought ''settin' " of eggs
A 'settin' of eggs is as many as a moth
erly hen can hatch into chicks. He had
made up his mind that his hen was loneIv
and needed company, and what so com.
panionable as a batch of little chicks IN
scratch for? The hen, however had diff
ferent views, and didn't want to sit on
the eggs. But he was not a boy to he
stumped by hen-he had borne too manv
losses already.
He put the eggs in box, in which he
mad made nest of hay. Then he planted
the indignant hen on them, put a board in
which he had bored a lot of air holes over
her and left her to come to terms. Thar
night his big brother kicked off the box
and set the hen free The next morning
the boy put her back. and put some bricks
on the bord, for he thought she had raised
the board and released herself. The
brother kicked both bricks and board off
that night. The boy replaced hen and
board again. and again they were kicked
off. Then he got a board and made a
hole in it for the hen 10 poke her head
through, and nailed the board 90 the how
once a day he takes the board off am,
chases the hen around the yard for exer-
clse' ana twice day he carries food to
her.
What's the use of trying to discourage
a boy like that?

a PowEnLEss CoMMIrrrE.

The Mazet committee, engaged in inves-
tgaung the municipal affairs of New York
city, Is the subject of both ridicule and
pity. The witnesses treat it with contempt
and the lawyers of the witnesses shake
their fists in It's face and ridicule it. Either
the committee ought to have the power 10
protect Itself from the outrageous attacks
made upon it or 1t ought to adjourn finally
and forever and go home.
IL is. in some measure, to blame for the
unfortunate position in which It finds it
self. The man il has as its counsel has
succeeded in making himself exceedingly
disagreeable. He is as much of a bull
dozer as any one of the police captains or
dive keepers it has had before it as wit
nesses. 1t is probable that the indignities
to which the committee has been subjected
were largely the result of the policy pur-
sued by him. For instance, he asked the
Mayor, when the latter was on the witness
stand, whether or not he was a partner of
notorious gambler In gambling rooms
kept open through police protection. No
proof was offered that the Mayor was a
partner in such business.
The committee has undoubtedly brought
to the surface the fact that the government
of the city of New York is very rotten. 1t
appears there is hardly a branch of it in
which there isn't extortion, favoritism or
matchmaking. There doesn't seem from the
testimony 10 be honesty anywhere. 1t is a
pity that the Investigation isn't better

NIeissonier.s Methods.

How did you paint the snowy road in

from under the table a low platform,
about a meter and half square, and said:

Pasco Was Always paired.

The Pittsburg Dispatch is responsible
for the following:
The defeat of Senator Pasco of Florida
will remove from the Senate a member
with a unique record. Senator Pasco has
peen in Congress for twelve years. and
during that time his record shows that
he never voted directly on any question
tie has had a chronic pair eyer since he
took his seat. The reason for this is that
Senator Pasco had charge of the pairs on
the Democratic SIDE and it was his duty
to see that all the Democrats absent were
properly paired. To do this he was almost
always obliged 10 pair himself, not on ac-
count of the absence of a Democrat. but
out of courtesy 10 the Republicans. When
ever Republican was absent and de-
manded pair on the Democratic side,
Senator Pasco had to furnish it. 1t be-
came a standing rule in the Senate when
the roll was called and Senator Pasco's
name reached for the little senator from
Florida to rise in his seat and say: Mr.
President, l am paired with the senator
from -. If he were present he would
vote yea, and 1 would vote nay" the
Florida senator, of course, varying the
last part of his remarks according 70 the
question. 1t would have given the tally

ever cast direct vote

INDUSTRIAL SECURITIES.

Two things are receiving considerable
attention in financial circles In New York.
One is the shipment of $1,000 900 in gold
to Europe day or two ago, and the
other is the impossibihty of marketing
new trust securities in considerable
amounts.
1t is claimed that the gold could not have
been shipped except at a very considerable
loss, and there is therefore much specu.a-
ton as 10 why it was shipped. The bank
making the shipment was the one that
handled the money with which Spain was
paid for the Philippine Islands. and, as it
is managed by exceptionally shrewd men,
it is but natural that there should be a
desire TO know why the gold was shipped
at a loss If, in fact, it was shipped at
a loss. One theory advanced is that
the bank wanted to depress the prices of
stocks by creating the impression that
there was movement of gold out of the
country. If that theory is correct the
purpose sought was not accomplished, but
It is hardly reasonable that so great a
bank would engage in any such business.
Trust securities are not popular with in
vestors because there is a well grounded
fear that the most of them will never be
worth as much as the public is asked to
pay for them Il is believed that pretty
nearly all of the trusts are over-capltal-
lied, and that very few of them win ever
pay dividends on their shares. Anyway.
the public is inclined to wait and see
what the earning capacities of the trusts
are.
It is worth noticing that the hanks are
fighting shy of trust securities. They don't
intend 10 be caught with their vaults full
of them at a time when the value of such
securities is doubtful Investors are TAX
ing their cue from the banks. There are
well established and dividend paying
trusts which of course have the confidence
of the public. The trusts to which the
pubic Is giving a wide berth are the great
number of new ones which have been Gre
ated within the last few months. Their
securities amount to thousands of millions
Of dollars. Unless they prove that they
are notwithstanding their securities are
likely to remain in the possession of the
original owners

HIS Idea of Lururr.

A story is told Of an cd Arizona prospec-
tor who, after thirty years OF bad luck,
hardship and privaton, finally "struck it
rich" a few weeks ago in the vicinity Of
Flagstaff. and sold a half-interest in his
prospect hole" for So. coo cash, says the
New York Tribune. When the money was
paid over TO him at the bank the cashier,
who had known MIN for a long time, re-
marked casually: We'll, Bill, what are you
gon' TO do 10 make yourself comfortable
and enjoy life, now you've got plenty of
money!"
Bill thought a minute in silence. AMI
then, as a pleased expression frightened
UP his rugged face, he answered:
Il reckon 1 won't eat nothin but can
ned stuff hereafter
That was his idea Of luxury He had
lived so long on salt pork and heavy bis
cults of his own manufacture that canned
corned beef and tomatoes and salmon rep
resented to him the highest luxuries that
life could afford.
