Ain American Abroad.

An American consul in Belgium tells

room in hotel in Brussels where he

delier in the centre. AS it was dark,
the attendant lighted them all; but the
guest had been in European hotels be-
fore, and made him put them out inn
mediately. It was of no avail, however
In his bill next day he found them
charged, Twenty candles, ten francs. =
So he went back to his room and took
them al out, wrapped them in bit
of paper, and slipped them into his
overcoat pocket When he was about
to leave, he found the servants drawn
up in two lines in the hall, in the Eu-
ropean style-ten men-servants on one
side, ten maid-servants on the other
and smiling and ready for the expected
tip! Then he drew out his package
and distributed the candles, one to
each. ALLOW me, monsieur" said he,
with bow; permit me, madam. They
are very superior candles, I assure
you; paid ten cents apiece for them; :"
and he left them all staring at their

The reason of the shortness of the
elephants neck Is. that the head Of the
animal is SO heavy that were it placed
at the end of a neck of length pro-
portionate to the dimensions of that
organ in other animals. an almost in
calculable amount of muscular force
would be necessary to elevate and sus-
tain it. The almost total absence of a
neck obviates the difficulty, and the
trunk serves as substitute The uses
and advantages Of q long neck, pecul-
iarly exemplified in the gira e, which
contains only the same number of ver-
tebral articulations as in the elephant,
are in the latter supplied by the trunk
or proboscis. by which he is enabled
to carry food to his mouth and to
drink by suction. This curious organ
contains vast number of small mus
cles variously interlacsd, is extremely
flexible, endowed with the most ex-
quisite sensibility, and the utmost d.
versity of motion, and compensates
amply for the absence OF long neck.
