Elephant vs. Sparrow.

A pugnaeious sparrow the other day flew into the elephant house in the Central Park meuagerie, 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- tion, nearly placed his ponderous foot on the latter. The fighting little speck of fuss and feathers evidently accepted his thoughtIess act as challenge to battle, and at once flew in the eie- plants face. The great beast looked astonished, and, sending a small ey, 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 rufaed feathers threw himself, with full force at the end of the threatening proboseis. 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 1 disappeared.

Amusing Knowledge.

Take a hard boiled egg and place it on the edge of a plate, holding the tip of the pointing finger lightly on the oth- CT end to keep it in position. Having first wound a light string around the body of the egg, a 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 top, by using whip of well twisted cord. As the egg will nec- essarily strike in some corner or crack while spinning, one may use an arti- fieial egg instead, such a one as is used for alarming stockings. This 'unbreak- able" egg can be spun with all zest around the floor as long as the impell- ing force keeps up.

An Interesting and Amusing Trick Easily
 Performed.

Procure a common pepper-box, and get a tinman to unsolder the bottom, and then fasten on to it tube of tin that will just fit the inside of the box, like a telescope. At the bottom side of this tube a slit must be cut that will let a quarter slip through. In the lid of the box a duplicate top is to be fas- tened. leaving inside a piece of tin, that will rattle when shaken. Now for tha trick. Take the box in the left hand, ask one of the company for 9 quarter, and to mark it that it may be identified. With inc right hand draw off the lid, and request that the money be put into the box.
