Bathing an Elephant.

If there is one thing which an eIe. phant enjoys above all things else, it is his bath. In India elephants are used to draw the great guns of the heav, batteries. They take their baths in ths barracks. at the troughs where they drink, and they behave much better about it than many children. They have to lie down and he patient while they are washed by their attendants They turn themselves about very promptly to suit their convenience The attendant rubs the hide with a piece of stone instead of a sponge, and If the stone slips out of his hand the elephant politely picks it up with his trunk and hands it back. After th y have been well scrubbed the elephants give themselves a shower bath. using their trunks to dash the water upon themselves, and they can hit any part of their bodies with ease.

Twas arrested and had to be bailed out by my lawyer. The waiter sued me for damages, and was so angry with him and myself and the downfall of my great ideals that refused to compro. mise as my lawyer advised. The waiter lost most of his savings in fees and ex. peuses, and his family came wailing to ask me to pay his doctors bills and help him get position and they would drop the suit.
 "I came to my senses and did more than that for them. My old ideas, modi- fled and modernized, took hold of me again. and while am hard headed business man today most of my friends are poor people. But my first use of money shows how flimsy the pedestals of most ideals are and how foolish it is to say what we would do if we could" New York Commercial Advertiser.

A Memory of Eoxso.a.

The boy is there. barefcoted, free kled. backwoods lad. whose age might be anywhere from $ to 12, fishing pole in hand. There are bramble scratches on his bare brown legs, like the marks of a wildcats claws, while patches of sunburn show rosy red through the opening of his cotton shirt. A single suspender and brim torn straw hat complete the tout ensemble, if we may except yellow. switch tailed cur, with one ear slit and a sinister cast in an eye, sitting close at the fl Iher lad d's back
 But sunburn, scratch s and tatters even the dog, are Ill forgotten as the boy watches breathlesly the wsbbline cork that buoys his fishing line. A kingfisber utters its harsh, rasping pro. test against this invasion of its vested rights; squirrel chatters hysterically just out of reach of the owner of the switch tail, who dares not resent the intrusion.

How They Eat,

The editor of Life and Beauty, a British organ on hygiene and diet, sue ceeded in eliciting from a few popular writers replies on the subject of diet which they nnd most conducive to good work.
 Hall Caine wrote: 'T am afraid l have no theories on the subject of diet. If l knew anything that would be worth telling, I would avail myself of it's advantages, being 6 constant mar tyr to all the troubles that attend diet"
 Mir. Zangwill's answer was brief and epigrammatic, Unfortunately I have never eaten to work, but always work ed to eat"
 "John Oliver Hobbes" confessed that she tried vegetarianism for two years, tut now finds that, on the whole, the ordinary diet of the country Is the best"
 Mime. Sarah Grand said she never drank milk. "I never forget the hor- rible cow." she added in explanation.
 Marie Corelli answered characteris- tically with a quotation from Ham let:" 'I eat the air, promise crammed. You cannot feed capons so."
