anger was instantly appeased.
Babe" was then enticed to open his
mouth widely by means of further
dainties held temptingly above his
nose. At first he refused point blank,
but he finally succumbed to the bait,
and opened his capacious jaws to the
extent Of two feet Immediately two
assistants, standing In position. dex.
terously threw chains over the distend-
ed jaws-one over the lower and the
second over the upper-and passed the
ends through ringbOlts fixed to the
post. Babe" attempted to close his
jaw, but in vain. He was a secure
prisoner, bound literally foot and
mouth.
The keeper then proceeded to per-
form the necessary operation with all
possible celebrity. For this delicate
dental work the menagerie proprietor
has provided a special outfit, consisting
Of small, finely tenoned saw, three
files, one Of which Is about as coarse as
a wood rasp, and the other two very
fine and more suited for polishing pur-
poses. The files are only cut upon one
side, the other faces being covered
with thick and soft leather, so that in
the event Of the file slipping Off the
tooth, the brute's mouth would not be
wounded in any way.
The front digging teeth first claimed
attention. The keeper set to work with

spluttered, and large tears. like balls
Of crystal, rolled from his eyes. He
grew restless, and in two or three min
utes his struggles became so violent
that the operator had to dcsist.
When Babe" had quieted down
once more, the dentist again set to work
vigorously, and ceased for few mo-
ments every time the hIppopotamus
grew restless. Probably the animal
suffered little real pain, but expert
enced a disagreeable sensation as the
strong steel file rasped over the bone,
which proved to be extremely hard. AT
the end of five minutes, one tooth had

elapsed both the digging teeth had

The dental surgeon then directed his
skill to the tusks. This task was consid-
erably facilitated by saving off the
tusk to the desired length. and then
finally grinding the teeth down to the
requisite shape by the files. They were
then polished, and the unpleasant oper-
alton was completed. Great excitement
now followed. Every man, with the

Babe" has an unusually finely devel-
opcd set Of teeth, numbering twenty
eight in all. Among these are two very
prominent teeth, properly called tusks,
growing out of the lower jaw. They
start in a vertical direction, but bend
in a backward, graceful curve. They
are two Of the most useful teeth to the
the animal for tearing up the trees and

the vehicle gave sudden jolt. and she
was thrown heavily to the ground. AS
she fell and struck an iron cage stand

shoulder the abrasion extending over
a space Of one square inch.
Specialists were called in, and it was
resolved to remove some Of the tender
growing skin from the young elephant
and to graft it ON to Bellies wound. The
mother was chained OH her side to the
ground. and a small section removed
from the baby's leg and applied to

lacerated flesh, and gradually the abra
sion was closed up. A small portion
only was operated upon at time. and

Freedom for Girls.

We are often told that over-indulg-
ence is one Of the mistakes Of the age
in the treatment of children by their
parents. Girls enjoy a new sense of
freedom. which has been coming grad
ually for many years, perceptibly for
the last half-dozen years.
Our books, our journals, seem to be
imbued with the spirit Of freedom, and
as women force their way upward and
onward the prevailing tendency is to-
ward beating down old customs and
old habits.
Under these circumstances 1t Is ex-
tremely difficult for the parents In
some cases to strike happy medium.
Woe to the mother who only remem-
bers her own childhood, and, forgetting
the progress which Is taking place in
thought since those years along ago,
desires to surround her girl with the
close chaperOnage which was deemed
necessary in her own days. This moth
er is laying up for herself store Of
friction which will be extremely try
ing. because she has omitted to take
into account the fact that in those
other times there are other ways.
Far be 1t from us to approve Of the
notion that chaperonage is superfluous.
We believe that it is specially neces-
sary to the young girl who is entering
society: but the chaperonage requires
to be exercised in very tactful man

CAREER OF NEW
CIRCUIT JUDGE
STURDY STOCK FROM WHICH
JUDGE DE BOLT COMES-FIRST
PRACTICED LAW IN SEATTLE.

j. y. De Bolt the newly appointed
First Judge of the First Circuit Court
of Hawaii, has had that sort of from
tier experience which has developed so
many of the very best men of the ma
ton. He was born in Texas December
10, 1851. His father who was a farmer
and school teacher, was a native Of
Ohio. A thorough Union man i'm his
sentiments, he saw the growth of the
secession sentiment in Texas as
throughout the south, and before the
war broke out removed to Leavenworth
Kansas, where SO much of the history
of the anti-slavery cause was made. It
was in days of stirring and strenuous
events, and in locality that felt the
full and fierce conflict of opposing sem
timent on great questions, that John T.
De Bolt passed his childhood.
In 1866, the war having been fought
out peace restored, and slavery abolish
ed, the family removed to Missouri
where j. r. De Bolt lived on a farm
working as other farmer boys work
during the growing and harvesting sea-
sons, and attending the neighborine
schools in the winter. As a boy and
youth he was a great reader perusing
any book of value that came in his way
but being particularly attracted by
books of scientific or historical char
acter.
In 1879 Mr.. De Bolt went to California
living in the Sacramento Valley for
several months. With two companions
he started from there to go to Spokane
Falls, then a village of $50 inhabitants
They traveller in a spring wagon
through northern California and the
state of Oregon and the then territory
of Washington. Their route was a
rugged one most of the way, and not
without danger from Indians by whom
they were menaced several times Mr.
De Bolt remained in and about Spokane
until 1888 when he removed to Seattle
and the next year began the study of
law in the office of EX-Chief Justice
Orange Jacobs of Washington Territory
one of the ablest jurists of the north
west. He was admitted to the bar in
1887 and at once began practice in Seat
tie. He continued in practice there
until 1896 when he came to Honolulu
arriving here June 7. He was admit
ted to practice in all the courts here ten
days later and has had a continually
growing practice, involving many very
important cases, ever since. His early
acquired taste for reading has been cul-
tiVated and is reflected i'm his extensive
and well selected library.
His appointment as Circuit Judge
came to him without seeking on his
part, but through the unsolicited efforts
of the Honolulu bar.
