THE HENDOO.
Generally Knows When His Elephant Is
 Planning Murder.

Few more impressive condolences can be imparted than one in which Hin doc describes how he knows his ele- plant intends to destroy him. It is all so seemingly trivial, and yet in reality of such deadly significance. His story is so full Of details that prove the mans profound understand ing of what he is talking about, that one remains equally amazed at the brute's power to dissemble and it's in tended victims insight into the would be murderer's character. And yet, from psychological standpoint, an elephant never gives any other such in- dication of mental power as is exhib- tied in it's revenge. That patient watchful, implacable hatred, often pro- yeked simply because a man is in at tendance upon another animal (for 1t is the rule with tuskers to detest their next neighbors), speaks more conelu- siyely of high intellectual guide than all stories. true or false, that have been told of their ability. Such concentra- tion and fixedness of purpose; such careful, unrelaxed vigilance; such per feet and consistent pretense and, when the time comes, such desperate, unhesi- tating energy as homicidal animals eX- hibit, are more impossible without an irregular development. No one can deny that if this creature is great at all it's greatness shows itself in it's crimes. These have caused it to be worshiped in the east, where men venerate nothing but merciless, ire sponsible force, and where an exhibi- ton of those qualities and traits de- scribed fully accounts for the formula, My lord, the elephant! t!"-Outing.
 Department Store Law in Missouri.
 The anti-department store law of Missouri went into effect recently. It imposes a license fee of from $300 to $500 a year on all classes of goods designated by it and sold in any store giving employment to fifteen or more persons The license commissioner, each city having one, decides whether the fee shall be minimum, maximum or intern ate. There are depart ment stores in Missouri that deal in ninety and more different classes of goods. At minimum rate, such stores would be compelled to pay from $27, 900 year upward in taxes. The small dealers and merchants in single lines of goods will fight for the enforce ment of the law by employing all legal help possible. The department stores 4r4s. that it is unconstitutional.

COST OF THE CUP DEFENDER.

 Fortune to Its Owners.
 A correspondent of the Army and Navy Journal having applied to it for information on the subject, that paper answers that the cost of the building of the Columbia has been variously estimated at from $100000 to S150,00 and for the Shamrock at from $150,000 to $200,000. It then adds: "A sum- mary of the cost of the Shamrock, based on estimates from various sources, is as follows: Construction and rig, S200, 900; pay roll officers and men, including sailmakers and carpen- ters (eight men), for four months at average of $40, $12,800; provisions for men and officers, at 8 a week for eighteen weeks, $7,200; clothing for crew, $1,000; for dry-doeking twice, s600 tender at $150 a day, for sixty days, $9,000; tugboat at $60 a day, for sixty days, $3,600 derrick and lighter services, $500; lighter for storage of spars for six weeks, $500; freight for spars and sails by steamer, $500; pas sage for thirty workmen, triggers, etc, s5,000; total, $242 ,600 If the special services of the designer, MT. Fife, and of Sailmaker Ratsey, who came to this country, are charge against the ac- count, the sum would, of course, be so much augmented. Recapitulation shows that the Erin and Shamrock represent a first cost of SIPS, 900. The cost of running the Erin increases the eynancac to S275 000 ''
