Leader and His Herd Squirt Water on
Two Boatm.n.
A near relative of mine was head
Of the Indian Military Police and his
winter circuit comprised the Loopshai
country and hill tracts Herds OF
wild elephants abounded in the dis
trict which contained two important
kheddahs. The greater part of our
tour was made by water. and once we
were detained several days in the bed
of river owing to the insuffCiency of
water for the draft of our boats.
Some of them lay high and dry; but
the office boat. which consisted of
single cabin, with large doors fore and
aft, was in the stream My friend sat
in his cabin absorbed in official cor
respondence, while we explored the
shores. Suddenly looking up. he was
d1smayed to find herd of about forty
wild elephants, headed by a vicious
looking leader gazing steadily at the
boat and its solitary occupant. Stout
soldier as he was, he watched the
leader with considerable trepdation:
for on his action depended that to be
adopted by the herd. To his immense
relief, the leader, after a trumpet or
two, turned disdainfully and crossed
the stream. He breatned sigh of re-
lief, and had forgotten his lucky es-
cape in the absorption of worK-when.
swish! through the cabin came dash
after dash of water On the opposite
side stood the leader and his herd
with weli-flied trunks. One after the
other administered the shower bath,
and then retreated, leaving my friend
thoroughly ducked and very rueful
over the damp condition of his gov
ernment paper and surroundings but
thankful for his escape from a worse
fate than a wetting.-St. Nicholas.

1!h.E!NG BATHS IN FINLAND.
'tsFo;r Methods by Which the Men
Cleanse Their Bodies

\ primitive sort of Turkish bath is
hdulged in by some Of the Finlanders
Il northern Norway. In winter in this
3art of the country the thermometer
averages 40 degrees below zero and
later bathing is not practicable These
rlnlanders. unlike the Lapps farther
north have an instinct for bodily
cleanliness, and manage -or preserve it
after the following fashion: Paul Du
Challlu, who knows from personal eX-
perience, declares the method fine
Each hamlet has a bathhouse for COM
mon use. 1t is perhaps 15 feet long
by Il wide. 1t boasts no windows and
only when the door is opened can air
or light enter. Bathing day comes
once a week-Saturday. Early in the
morning of that day wood is brought
and a fire started. When the stones
become hot the fire is put out, the
place cleaned, a large vessel of water
and some slender birch twigs brought
IN and the preparations declared COM
plete. AS 10 dressing room is pro-
vlded. toilets are unmade and made in
the various homes. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to add that no time is lost in
the progress from the home to the
bathhouse. No clothes and a tempera-
cure of 40 degrees below zero are in
centive TO haste. When all the men
and boys are in the bathhouse and the
door closed water is thrown upon the
not stones until the place is filled with
steam. Perspiration pours from the
sweltering bodies, yet more active ex-
ercise is demanded and switches come
into play. Each bather lays on his
neighbor with will until Enough"
is cried. Again water is thrown upon
the stones, more steam raised and an
other switching INDUCED in. AS ma
be imagined. the bodies are now as red
as b, lied 10, tiers and the blood circu
iating actively. A roll in the snow

Whaling Crews Bad Luck

The whaling barque A. R. Tucker ar
rived at New Bedford, Mass, recently,
from al Atlantic voyage that lasted
twenty-seven months. during which
the ship had been under the command
of three men. When she sailed, Capt.
Nj. " B. Millard was in command. He
became i'll not long after the Tucker
sailed and died. Joseph Bento, the
mate. took command. and under his
management some good whaling was
done. On June Is last whales weI
sighted and he left the ship in charge
Of one OF the four whaleboats. He
struck the whale all right, but when
the monster sounded. the line became
fouled IN Capt. Bento's legs and he was
carried overheard and down in the
ocean with the whale. Antonio Avilla
who was then mate. having shipped at
Fayal last October. became captain and
brought the vessel home.

Tyranny of the Tin.

1t is becoming a common occurrence
to hear of railway passengers being
charged with assaulting others in the
fight for seats. The system is a scan
dalous one which admits of the incon-

arise. 1t regularly happens that the
London, Chatham and Dover and
Southeastern train coming into town
in the morning have certain compart-
ments labeled, Reserved for Mr. Va
rious Party" The occupants of these
half-flled carriages have secured
the. unfair advantage by tips to the
guard or pOrteTs earlier on the jour
ney. The result is that others awaiting
the trains nearer town must travel

PecuIiarities Of the ParsnIp.

1t is curious fact that the common
edible parsnips. Pastinaca sLtiva, when
allowed to run wild, becomes a skin
poison, acting upon the cuticle some
what after the manner of Rhus toxico-
dendron. Another peculiar fac+ Is that
it is especially poisonous whel the dew
Is upon it, though when dry it is said
to be perfectly safe. 1t produces in
the former condition quite a smart
rash. In comemnting upon this. Nee
hans Monthly states that some years
ago in poisoning case, which proved
fatal, the doctors In attendance kept
the parsnips. regarding the identity OF
which there could be no doubt, as they
contained the teeth rarks Of those
who had eaten them. He subsequent
ly planted them, and they grew to be
me real garden parsnip. Just why
these transformations from poisonous
to poisonous should take place
has not as yet been made out.

BATHING IN JAPAN,
A Policeman's Construction of New
RegulatiOns.

Regulations.
Foreigners In Japan are complaining
about the bathing regulations made
by the Japanese authorities A writer
In the Kobe Herald is especially hard
on Japanese prudery. He says: ITO
show how little these decency regula-
tions are understood by those respon-
sible for their enforcement, and also
as a bright and shining example Of
answering devotion to duty, the case
OF the Suma policeman deserves TO
be put Oh record. He was seen the
other day disporting himself in the
briny decOrously clad in a suit OF for
elgn pajamas. Where he obtained
them Is something to wonder about:
perchance thay were legacy or treas
ure troVe, or he might have ordered
them from his tailor. but ANYHOW he
had them on and thought they were a
bathing suit. Now, what follows is
very instructive and has the merit OF
being absolutely true No sooner had
the spectators managed to control their
mlrth at the sight of the policeman in
paJamaS than he moved them to fresh
commissions by gravely walking ashore
dlvesting himself of his pajamas on
the beach, wringing them out and dry
ing himself with them Having COM
pleted his toilet, he took his pajamas
on his arm and strolled away, naked
as Adam, but clothed in a complacent
consciousness OF rectitude and armed
with the knowledge that ne had car
rled out the decency laws as he un-
derstood them, and had set a bright
and shining example to those who had
the privilege of Witnessing his per
formance. Well done. thou faithful

ANCIENT IDEAS OF RATS.

In a recent number of the Frank
