ELEPHANT RACING
Queer Indian Sport which Also uas L
Derby Day.


Derby Day.
An elephants Derby sounds dis
tinctly sensational. but the idea can
not sound more sensational than such
u contest actually Is.
The Briton Is nothing il not n
sportsman. despite Napoleon's historic
sheer about our belSg a nation of
shopkeepers; and wherever John Bull
goes there you may be sure To find
him INDUCING in one form of sport or
another.
Thus, in India elephants are often
impressed into the service OF our
sporting enthusiasts, and an elephants
Derby recently took place up country.
SteeplechasinG with horses is cxcit-
Ing enough. but when you have Gle
plants engaging in the form of sport
well, You somehow forget that life
ever seemed duh to YOU.
Naturally. the course is not so per-
feet rs at Epson. Nevertheless. there
are plenty of colgns OF vantage from
which crowds of eager spectators. ma
tive and white, watch the progress of
the contest and encourage the riders
by their small Shrleks and constant
shouting.
BY the din alone you would know
that you were in the East. even if YOU
did not see the spectators and COM
petitors. The mahoutS. as the native
drivers are called. cling to the necks
of their mounts. urging them on by
means of their sharp goads. which
they apply TO the elephants ears. To
see the huge. numbering creatures be-
ing driven over the course ut their
utmost speed is ut once one of the
most comical and exciting sights i'm
aginablc.
Barriers and bitches are constructed
at intervals across the track. and.
though Il novice would in nine cases
out of ten regard the elephants
efforts TO negotiate these with con
vulslons OF laughter, devotecs to this
form of racing become far too alb
Sorbed in the fortunes Of the contest
for the ludicrouS side of il to appeal
TO them. Besides, it is just these OBJ
stacles which provide the critical
points of the race, for as the elephants
attempt to get over or out of them
racer goes down and many mahout
is thrown to the ground at imminent
peril Of being crushed by the elephant
which is Immediately following.
Take it as a whole, an elephant

The Art OF MnI,a,r.

In correct walking there is the poetry
OF motion. the delicacy or polse and
the scientific adjustment OF the weight
OF the body which the ancients knew
so well, but which the moderns slur.
II they do not absolutely ignore.
The girl who walks correctly is Il
JOY to herself ana all who behold her.
She has some purpose IN life. She is.
ulne times out or ten. neatly dressed.
bright eyed and healthy. Watch ner.
and YOU viii see that the ball OF the
foot Is the centre upon which the
weight OF the body swings; and that
upon the heel and the toes there Is an
even balance of the strain. If such it
may be called. the heel not being
called upon to do more than the toes
or the toes more than the heel. while
the sole is the medium between the
two extremes.
In correct walking the foot is placed
evenly upon the surface, with the
pressure first upon the heel. then upon
the ball of the foot. and then upon
the toes. From the ball of the foot
and the toes the impetus and elasticity
of the stride originate Woman's Life.

Pael.Ing Trunks For a Living.

A professional trunk packer talks as
follows about her calling in the Wo-
mans Home Companion:
Il engaged my sister as my assist
ant, and We earn good living. l al
ways do the packing. while she sits
beside me and jots down in the little
book which goes with each key the
different articles as put them in. She
tells as nearly as possible, just where
each article is TO be found so that
the owner will have little trouble in
unpacking. L make q point of pack
ing all trunks in rs nearly the same
way, so that persons who have once
had trunks packed by me will find
little difficulty in locating the various
articles in any other trunks that
handle for them.
My methods are all my own. and
there is one point which l believe has
gained and held me more customers
than anything else; it is the quantity
Of pink and white tissue paper that
| always use. 1t gives to the trunks
that look of dalntinesS which every
one is so fond of associating with
his belongings"

cost OF the dry postal gum is about
six cents per pound. and thus the daily
cost to the Government OF gum for
stamps is about $4S.
Down I'm the basement OF the bureau
there are three big steam jacketed
kettles OF the capacity OF 100 gallons
each, whore the gum Is made by an
established formula. This is done by
mixing the dry gum with water. and
10y carefully boiling 1t until the gum
Is cooked. The kettles are exceeding.
ly clean. and the boiling must be at
Just the proper degree. After tho
gum is boiled il Is pumped to Il
settling tank. where IL is strained and
reduced 10 the proper specific gravity.
1t is next pumped up four stories to
the stamp cumming room. where it is
received ana again strained into a
large tank fifteen feet above the floor
Another test IS then made for tenn
pcrature and specific gravity and the
gum is ready to be conveyed by pipes
TO the small tanks over the cumming
rollers. upon which it drips in tiny
streams.
The greatest cleanliness is required
mt every step in the process of boil
ing and handling the gum. and as the
gum is purely vegetable. the stamp
Ticker need not have the slightest
heSitancy in applying his moistened
tongue 10 the stamp.
The eight machines now in the
cumming room have q capacity for
G1.OOO sheets or 100000 stamps. in
one day of eight hours work. Both
united States postage stamps and
documentary and proprietary revenue
stamps are gummed by these ma.
chimes. At the beginning OF the
Spanish-American war. when there
was an urgent demand for war rev.
enue stamps, there were only six of
these machines in operation. They
were run night and day to meet the
emergency. and gummed 100000
sheets or 100000 stamps. every
twenty-four hours. This large number
OF stamps furnished Uncle Sam with
some OF the sinews OF war during those
trying times. The average consump.
ton of ordinary postage stamps mt
this time is about 100000 a day.

eud to discussing what solution. if
any, the great servant question is com.

touching that comes from Chicago.
where some of the hired girls, organ
lied as THE Working Women of

the regulation of household labor.
These rules stipulate that house-sery-
