ELEPHANTS IN THE BRITISH ARMY.
Highly Trained Brigades For Great Va
rety Of Work,

One Of the most interesting features
of the English army life presented to
the layman in India Is furnished by
the remarkable efficiency of the ele-
phant brigade, most highly developed
through the skill of the Burmese in
handling the giant animals. Their
usefulness in Indian can scarcely he
imagined by one not familiar with the
amount and variety of work which
they accomplish, but 1t would be n
serious mistake to imagine that this
degree of usefulness is attained
animals or natural tendency toward 1t.
1t is due solely and entirely TO the
wonderful ability of the natives in
training the huge animals and over
coming their natural inclinatOns. This
cannot be too highly praised. Neither
must it be imagined that the use of
elephants in army life is not attend
ed by great disadvantages, not the
least of which Is the difficulty with
which they are transported. Natur-
ally the elephant is not an intelligent
animal. He can be taught remarka-
bic things, in which his strength and
endurance play an important part. He
can never, however, perform these
feats without continual attendance
and direction. Abstractly, his power
rected by skilful hands, however, it is
remarkable.
The transportation facilities which
are provided for the sole use of the
elephant are quite as remarkable.

the loading and detraining of a lot of
elephants on the Madras Railway.
Both We're remarkable processes. In
loading. rope is fastened to his fore

at 1t to induce the animal to take the
first steps into the car. This is only
accomplished. however. by admonish-
ing him in the haunch by means of Il

slightly frightened, but when the car
starts his fear is wonderful to behold.
Though he may ride Il hundred times,
he never OvercOmeS this fear. though
1t is much more pronounced when he
takes his initial ride after, say, two
months acquaintance with civiliza-
ton. He rends the air with wild
trumptetings, endeayors fruitlessly to
escape, and only ceases his efforts
when the car has again come to
standstill. In transporting the ele-
plants by sea the difficulties are al
most as great. They are raised by
means of canvas sling from the
wharf to the ship, struggling to cs-
cape and rending the air with their
cries. Once aboard ship they are
easily managed. the motion not af-

see the moving panorama before

are lowered to raft beside the ship

As you would with any everyday
disease.
If you'll simply question science as 70
why you're glum and weary
And everything seems dull and III ut

Perhaps you will discover. after de-

The cause of all these symptoms

And you'll smile rs you reflect, In
spite Of various irritatiOns,
That It's nothing but the weather
after all
You'll find sigh denoting neither

They are products Of the meteOrOlosi-
cal condition
OF extra moisture that is in the air
SO perhaps it's not in reason fortunes

Or to VOW lfe's store Of happiness

For when the sun comes out again,

ABOUT DILAToRY WOMEN.
How They Are Sometimes Rendered
Prompt by Masculine Visitors.

There's a stern and naughty young
Mede-and- -Persian-like law for his own
observance. 1t is, never to wait, no
matter what the occasion, more than
fifteen minutes for q young woman.
Thus when he calls at q house he
takes out his watch and looks at the
time when he enters the drawing
room. He looks at 1t again and again.
and when the quarter Of an hour has
elapsed if the young woman upon
whom he Is calling has not yet made
her appearance, he calmly walks out,
and goes somewhere else.
And this young mans principles on
the subject are so we'll known that he
rarely has to study the patterns of
the furniture for an interminable
time while his hostess assumes her
newest frock. He is greeted promptly,
but some of his brothers tell pitiful
tales of woe on this subject.
One calling on feminine friend at
1 o'cOlck the other evening waited ex-
actly an hour for her appearance.
When she finally came in the room she
found Monsieur deeply interested in a
book. He arose then and said "how-
dye do and "good-lV'' in breath.
"You are not going! asked mad
emoiselle, aghast.
"Yes, l am," asserted the young
man amiably. Il had an hour that l
wished to spend pleasantly and l
have passed it here in your library.
Now, l must catch train North"
"Of course, If you will come at un-
holy hours" began the woman, but
the man had gone.
TO be just. the woman of to-day Is
fairly prompt. She considers 1t bad
form not to be ready to see visitors
when they call. but she doesn't CON
slider ten minutes much to take to
add some finishing touches to her toll
cite. and that, it might be whispered,
is the reason that One-half Of the thea
trc audience comes in when the first
act is well under way, that the first
numbers of the concert are ruined, the
first part Of the lecture rendered un-
ineligible and that the german COM
mences half an hour later than 1t
should.
At catching trains and boats the dila-
tory sex is nevertheless unusually
adept. 1t is said by those who are
fond of gathering such statistics that
one woman misses train to about ten
men. Madame, however obliviOus she
may be of time In other matters. if
she is going away is sure to be at the
station bright and early and with
twenty minutes to spare. Whether this
proves that the sex is selfish or mere
ly that it is, in the language of the
times. ''long- headed" is question
for consideration.-Kans City Jour
