KlpLlNG AND THE ELEPHANT.
Americans Story of the Englishman'
Kindness To II Sick Stranger.

Gue afternoon we Went together TO
the zoo, and while stTolling about our
ears were assaied by the most mel
ancholy sound | have ever heard, a
complaining, fretting, lamentlng
sound, proceeding from the elephant
house.
Whats the matter In there:
asked Mr. Kipling, the keeper
"A sick elephant, sir; he cries all the
time. we don't know what to do with
him. was the answer.
Mr.. Klpling hurried away from me
in the direction of the lament, which
was growing louder and more pihful.
| followed and saw him go up close TO
the cage, where stood an elephant with
sadly dropped ears and trunk. He was
CRYING actual tears at the same time
that he mourned his lot most audibly
In another moment Mr.. Kipling was
right up at the bars, and | heard him
speak TO the sick beast in language
that may have been elephantese, but

certinly was not English. Instantly
the whining stopped, the ears were
lifted, the monster turned his sleepy
little suffering eyes upon his visitor
and put out his trunk. Mr.. kipling
began to caress it. still speaking in the
same tone and in words unintelligible
to me, at least. After few minutes
the .beas, began TO answer in much
lower zone of voice, and evidently re-
counted his woes. Possibly elephants,

confide their symptoms to sympathiZ-

Kipling and that elephant carried on
a conversation. with the result that
the elephant found his spirits much

went out of his voice. lie forgot that
he was much to be pitied; he began TO
exchange experiences with his friend
and he was quite unconscious, as was
Mr.. Kipling, of the amused and inter-
ested crowd collecting about the cage.

PASSPORTS IN RUSSIA AND TUR-
KEY.

There are few countries In which
travellers now require passports IN or
der to promote their convenience and
security, says 1it-Bts. In Brazil and
Venezuela a passport must be shown
to the officials before one is allowed
to leave the country for foreign port
This is veXatious measure, enforced
apparently, for the sake of enabling a
few officials to collect small fees,
In Russia passports regulations are
enforced with great stringency. No
traveller is allowed to enter the empire
until he has obtained passport and
convinced the Russian consular officers
at the point from which he sails mat
he is neither a Roman Catholic priest
nor a Hebrew. The question ordinar-
lily asked is: What is your religion ?"
but it is designed to provide against
the entry of either Of these two class
eS.
When the traveller arrives at a Rus
sian port with a passport which has
been properly vised ana countersgnol
at consular office. it is critically eX-
amined by police officer and duly reg
istered. At the entrance OF the hoJei
another police officer takes possession
of the document, and in the course q
II hours returns it with a permit for
a limited residence in the country
When the IreaVeer departs for an-
other city, he must have the passport
countersigned by the police. This
process continues until he reaches ,le
frontier, which he cannot cross unless
the passport has Seen Niscd AMI
stamped by The police Not lnfre
qut,t lily tourists are stopped at the
frontier, and subjected to serious in
conVeniences because they have neg
lected to comply with the police regu-
lattons respecting passports.
All this red tape causes annoyance
and irritation among tourists, who are
apt TO overlook the fact that Russians,
as well as foreigners, are compelled 10
observe these police regulations. 1t
is the business of the police to know
where everybody lodges. A permit is
required ii a native removes from one
quarter of a town to another. Every
body is registered by the police when
he arrives or departs, and foreigners,
when they are in Russia, are dealt
with on equal terms with residents.
The same system prevails in Turkey,
where it is not practicable for for
eigneT 10 travel without passport.

CURIOSITY.

Voltaire in one of his writings
states, as his opinion: 1t is curiosity
alone that induces people to hasten to
the shore to see a vessel overwhelmed
in a tempest and remarks that he had
experienced the feelings at such an
event, as those of only curiosity and
pity. He claims that curiosity is re-
turned to man, monkeys and little
dogs. Take little dog with you in a
closed carriage, he will be constantly
putting up his paws against the door
to see what is passing. y monkey
searches everywhere and appears TO be
examining everything. As to men, We
all know how they are constituted, in
London, Paris, New York, San Fran
cisco or Honolulu. All meet you with
the greeting Whats the news?''
If there's anything bothers the cur

know,

CHARLES T. WILDER

Rev. Herbert H. Gowen, who was
formerly stationed in Honolulu, and
who is now chairman of the depart
ment of Oriental languages of the
Washington Pathological Society, has
written the following letter to Mr.. Will
liams:
Trinity Parish, Seattle, Feb. p, 1899.
Dear Mr. Williams: | am very glad
to have the opportunity of thanking
you for the recitals given by your
self and Mrs Williams in this city.
Two more difficult plays could hardly
have been chosen than The Tempest
and THE Winters Tale" and yet we
found a power of Interpretation and
differentiation of character /, for one,
never expected to see. We had given
us by one voice all the wonderful range
from Caliban to PrOsperO, from Ste
piano to ARIEL, and again we had the
interval between Ambiguous to Her
miOne bridged with marvellous success,
The introductiOns to the plays and the
connecting links were always ade-
Quate without losing their main pur-
pose. Altogether we feel indebted to
you and to Mrs. Williams for new
glimpses of the power of him who is
indeed ''the priest to us all of the
wonder and bloom Of the world" With
very kind regards to yourself and Mrs.
Williams, | am yours sincerely,
HERBERT H. GOWEN.
