NOT HEAVY TO HIM.

The man on the elephants back Is
nothing to the elephant. The big beast
doesn't mind him any more than one
of those immense dray horses you see
in London minds the brass ornaments
on his harness. Yet on my back or
yours the man would be a load; and,
II fastened to larks wings. the little
brasses would hold him to the earth.
Thus. we are reminded. my thought
full friends, that there are no absolute
facts. The burden depends on the
back. Albeit Samson walked of with
the gates Of GAIA, an ordinary garden
gate would. l am sure, prove all that
we should want to lug. 1t follows that
weight or heaviness can, as the ad-
vestisements say, "be supplied In a
variety Of styles"
When. for example, Mr.. Sydney Chal-
LANCER mentions in letter that at a
certain period he was heavy" he does
not mean that he tipped the scales at
stone or two more than usual. His
horse would have felt that, in case he

| time referred to he was actually under
his proper weight by several pounds.
