SUBDUING AN ELEPHANT.
Keeper Gave Him a Violent Beating
and the Animal Never For
got the Lesson.

There are probably not many peo-
pie who know why elephants are so
easily controlled by their keepers.
1t is true that an elephant never for
gets or forgives an injury, and that is
the very basis from which all trainers
derive their power.
Some years ago there was a very I'M
ruly elephant belonging to a certain
circus. The man who had been his
keeper was getting old and wanted to
give up his position, so another man
was found who was willing to take his
place. The transfer of keepers was
made in a small town in Indiana Early
one morning the elephant was led into
an open space outside the tent, and
was then chained very securely. His
new keeper took position near by
where he could be seen constantly by
the elephants cruel little eyes. By 9
lItle teasing he succeeded in annoying
the animal until he struck viciously at
him with his trunk, which was exact
ly what the new keeper wanted. At
that instant he and some circus men
WHO Hdu Deeu waiting Out u slSHG
behind the elephant began to beat him
and prod his tough hide with elephant
hooks. He shrieked with pain and
rage and tried to reach the new keep
err, who was the only man his chains
permitted him to see. But at each at
tack the elephant tried to make the
blows descended harder and harder,
and finally he ceased, convinced at last,
After he had stopped trying to fight
and had become quite conquered. his
new keeper advanced boldly, loosened
his chains, and triumphantly led him
back to the circus tent. He never for
got the beating, and he never risked
getting another by being ugly to his
keeper-N. Y. Herald.

CHEERFULNESS AT TABLE.
Interchange of Entertaining
Conversation

An old lady, who looked as though
she might have belonged to the sun
shine society" all her life, was asked
by friend the secret of her never
failing cheerfulness. Her answer con-
tains suggestive lesson for parents.
81 think" said the clever old lady,
lit is because we were taught in our
family to be cheerful at the table.
My father was a lawyer with a large
criminal practice. His mind was
harassed with difficult problems all the
day long, yet he always came to the
table with a smile and a pleasant
greeting for everyone, and eXerted
himself to make the table-hour de-
lightful. All his powers to charm
were freely given to entertain his
family. Three times day we felt this
genial influence, and the effect was
marvellous. If a child came to the ia
BILE with cross looks, he or she was
quietly sent away to find a good boy
or girl, for only such were allowed
to come within that loving circle. We
were taught that all petty grievances
and jealousies must be forgotten when
meal time came, and the habit of be
ing cheerful three times day, under
all circumstances, had its effect on
even the most sullen temper. Crate
full as l am for all the training re-
ceived in my childhood home, l look
back upon the table influence as among
the best Ct my life"
Table manners are. of course. essen
tial, but the most important thing is
to make the meal an occasion for the
Interchange of delightful and enter
tanning conversation. Let such gath
erings, fathers and mothers. make the
most happy hour of the day, and the
influence on the children may be be-
yond estimation.-N. Y. Weekly.

WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP.
Some Senses Become Dormant Before
Others, That of Seeing Being
the First.

When a man drops off to sleep his
body does not do so all at once. Some
senses become dormant before 9TH
ers, and always in the same order. AS
he becomes drowsy the eyes close and
the sense of seeing is at rest.
1t is quickly followed by the sense
of taste. He next loses the sense of
smell. and then, after short interval
the tympanum becomes insensible to
sound-or, rather, the nerves which
run to the brain from it fail to con-
vey any sense of hearing.
The last sense to leave; is that Of
touch, and in some representative peo-
Pile it is hardly ever dormant. This
sense is also the first to return upon
awakening. Then hearing follows
suit; after that taste, and then the
eye becomes able to flash impressions
back to the brain.
The same gradual loss of power is
observed in the muscles and sinews.
Slumber begins at the feet, and slow
ly spreads up the limbs and trunk I'M
til it reaches the brain, when uncon-
sciousness is complete and the body
is at rest.-ChicagO American.

A ROAD TO FAILURE.
Doing One Thing end Thinking of
Another Has Never Yet Worked
Successfully.

81 don't like Cousin Fanny" said a
little girl, with the outspoken frank
ness of ''seven times one" and on be-
ing questioned, she thus explained her
prejudice. when she tells me fairy
stories, she always acts as if she were
thinking of something else"
Those of us who do not have the
pleasure of Cousin Fanny's acQuaint-
ance know her kind. There are some
people who never seem able. to give
more than partial attention to those
with whom they are conversing. They
come back to the subject under discus
sion with a start, as if they had just
been Weakened from comfortable
nap.
Doing one thing ana thinking of an
other is a sufficient explanation of
the failure of so many. "Be all there"
when you are working. and so earn the
right to throw yourself into your rec
reation. No one gets less satisfaction
out of life than the person who never
can spare more than fraction of his
attention to the matter in hand

ly to one side, or hopping from place
view. All the time they kept up
blackbird conversation about the OBJ
ject of their curiosity, clucking and
chuckling away at a great rate.
The white robin did not hunt food
for itself, although it was fully old
parents. When it flew, it did so awk-
wardly and blunderingly, and gen
orally seemed to prefer staying in
one place.
A day or two afterward two boys
brought to my Office the white robin,
dead. One of the local papers had
said that an albino robin might be
sold to museum, and l accused the
boys of having killed the bird on the
chance of selling it. This they stout
ly denied, saying that they found it
dead. / took off the skin for the pur-
pose of mounting it, and found that
the boys had been telling the truth,
for there was no sign of an injury.
The poor robin was very thin, and
it's stomach was almost empty, ex-
cept for the remains of one bug. l
wondered if its parents had grown
tired of feeding it. l found, also,
that the reason it few so poorly was
because it's eyes were defective, and
that it must have been almost blind.
Had its parents fed it until the time
of the fall migration southwark, the
white robin could not have gone with
the rest, and must have starved. The
robin was entirely white, with pink
eyes, pinky-white beak and pinkish
legs.
Albinism, by the way, is caused by
the lack of pigment, or coloring mat
ter, in the quilts. Birds so afflicted
are, usually, not well developed, and
suffer from attacks of individuals of
their own species.

THE ALBINO ROBIN.
Bird Was Entirely White, with Pink
Eyes, But Too Weak to Take
Care of Itself.

In the summer of 1900 some friends
strange white bird that had been
seen eeveral times among the trees
of small grove in southern Ohio,
the state in which my home county
is, writes Henry Holcomb Bennett, in
st. Nicholas. Finally another friend
told me that he had seen a pair of
robins feeding it, and, between US,
we agreed that it must be a white
robin-an albino.
An albino among men is a person
whose skin and hair are unnaturally
white. Among birds and animals an
albino is one which is white, differ
ing from others of its species. A bird
or animal the normal color of which
is white, or which changes to white
feathers or fur for winter, is not an
albino. The perfect albino has pink
eyes, and no color about it. The
white robin | saw was a perfect al
bino.
The rest of the brood, of which the
albino was one, had scattered and
were locking out for themselves; but
the parent birds were still feeding
their white fiedgling The other birds
in the grove took great deal of in
terest in the strange inhabitant, es-
pecially the purple grackles. AS the
white robin sat on a bough the
grackles would perch near it, looking
at it with their heads turned, shrewd.

DISAPPEARING COIN TRICK.

and 3a), and piece of thin rubber
band, on one of which hook made of
a pin is fastened, while on the other
one small piece of wax is stuck. The
rubber band is fastened by the hook
to the lining of the sleeve. After the
coin has been returned to the per-
former-having been marked and
given to the audience for inspection
the wax is pressed to the coin so that
it will disappear under the cuff as soon
as the rubber band is let go. Instead
of the coin, the piece of glass the size
of the coin is covered with the hand
kerchief and given to one of the au-
dience. together with the glass filled
with water. When the order to drop
the coin in the water is given, the piece
of glass (being transparency will not
be seen in the water, and the coin will
have disappeared.
To find the coin in somebody's pocket
is easy. The performer pulls it out Of
the cuff while everybody is looking at
the glass of water, pulls it from the
wax with the index finger, and is now
ready to make it appear wherever he
wishes.-Chicago Tribune.

thin rubber. The seat and back of
the chair are filled with water when
the patient sits in the contrivance, and
then a hammer, which strikes rubber
disk, is set in motion. This hammer
starts vibratory waves in the water,
and these waves are communicated to
the body by means of the perforations
in the chair. Lillian Russell and Bern
hardt are using vibratory chairs, and
this means of acquiring strength with
out expanding energy is becoming
quite fad in New York. The vibra-
tory chairs cost from 5000 up. and con-
sequently will never become popular
