Elephant vs.. Sparrow.

A pugnacious sparrow the other day
flew into the elephant house in the
Central Park menagerie, New York,
and began picking up the crumbs from
the table of the elephant then inside.
The mammoth and midget apparently
did not see each other for some time,
until the former, in shifting his posi-
ton, nearly placed his ponderous foot
on the latter. The fighting little speek
of fuss and feathers evidently accepted
his thoughtless act as challenge to
battle, and at once flew in the ele-
plants face. The great beast looked
astonished, and, sending a small cy,,
clone through his trunk, raised such a
cloud of hay and dust that the bird was
lost sight of.
When the air was cleared, the biped
was seen on the quadruped's back. A
shake Of the elephants loosely fitting,
tough, though sensitive hide, frighten-
ed the little fellow, who hoped to the
floor and looked into the face of his
antagonist.
Thus they stood as though trying to
recover breath for a few seconds, when
the elephant reached out his trunk
towards the sparrow. The bird with
outstretched wings and rufled feathers,
threw himself, with full force at the
end of the threatening proboscis. Then
came a gentle blast of air from the
elephants lungs, and the sparrow was
blown against the wall of the house.
The little fellow, without even SO much
as a parting look at his huge antago-
mist. mounted to the open window and
disappeared.

Amusing Knowledge.

Take a hard boiled egg and place 1t
on the edge of plate, holding the tip
of the pointing finger lightly on the 9TH
er end to keep 1t in position. Having
first wound light string around the
body OF the egg, quick spinning mo-
ton can be obtained by pulling the
string quickly, The egg will be seen
spinning for some time within the
plate. There is also another method of
standing an egg on end and making a
new Columbus discovery.
Instead of making the egg spin. on the
plate one can also chase it around the
room, like a top, by using a whip of
well twisted cord. AS the egg will nee
essarily strike in some corner or crack
while spinning, one may use an arti-
fetal egg instead, such a one as is used
for darning stockings. This "unbreak-
abie" egg can be spun with all zest
around the floor as long as the impell-
ing force keeps up.

scale OF animal voices.

According TO musical authority, the

that the quality of the donkey's voice

THE PEPPER-Box TRICK.

this tube slit must be cut that will
let a quarter slip through. In the lid
of the box a duplicate top is to be fas-

will rattle when shaken. Now for the
trick. Take the box in the left hand,
ask one of the company for a quarter,
and to mark it that it may be identified.
With the right hand draw off the lid,
and request that the money be put into
the box. It will of course slip through
