Balances Woy.

Jules Sandeau relates that one time
while living in Paris Balzac locked
himself up in his room for twenty-five
days and twenty-five nights, refusing
to see any one and keeping the cur
tains closed and the lights continually
burning even in broad daylight. The
only human being he saw during this
time was his servant, whom he rang
for when he felt the need of food and
which he washed down with numerous
cups of coffee. He would throw him
self on his bed only when entirely ex-
hausted from lack Of sleep, and he re-
manned in complete ignorance of what
was transpiring outside, the state of
the weather and even Of the time and
day Of the week. He only freed him
self from this voluntary captivity when
he had written the word End on the
last page of the manuscript he began
when he entered his prison.

How an Elephant Grows.

While we must not overlook the diff
ference between the supply Of food in
nature and captivity as we'll as the
equally different conditions Of both
food and exercise in either state, it is
somewhat interesting to note the in
crease in weight and height of a young
Indian elephant in captivity, state to
which it was brought when about if
teen months old. During nearly a cou-
pie of years the captive put on nearly
half ton Ito be more accurate, some
LOO pounds of avoirdupois) and not
far short of eighteen inches.
The increase in both weight and
height was greatest in the early
months and slower in both cases as
time went on, and the greatest gain in
any single month was ninety pounds
and four inches. Considering the i'm
mense rations given to elephants in me-
nageries, it may be thought, perhaps,
that the results are none too great for
the cost. Yet to gain ninety pounds in
a single month is prodigious all the
same.

Carried Millions on His Back,

When Baron Rothschild was paying
visit to New York, q reception was
given him in a certain great house.
The affair was in charge of Brown, the
famous old sexton Of Grace church.
Another reception was being held the
same evening in a house almost imme-
diately opposite, which was also in
charge of the sexton. The baron wish
ed to attend the second affair, but the
street was full of mud, the night was
disagreeable and no carriage was at
the curbstOne. He could not walk
across without soiling his boots and
evening clothes, and for the moment he
was in a predicament as to what he
should do. But he was soon relieved
of this dilemma. ''I'll carry you across
myself" said Brown jovially; NOV,
mount my shoulders" And, grasping
him as if he had been a child, he car
ried the nobleman across on his back.

Sir Francis Laking, physician in ordi-

Aldershot early yesterday morning.
He prescribed for the king and recon-
mended that the day be spent in per-

The king arose during the after
noon. This is considered a good reason
for hoping that his indisposition is
only temporary. An authentic state

that the king is slightly indisposed,

NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION
Both Parties Inclined to Claim Advantage
From the Message.

Il TOLn Ghe NAcsSdSes
The reciprocity message gave sena-
tors a live topic of conversation, but
so far as is yet apparent there is no
change in the situation. There was q
disposition on the part of the leaders
on both sides of the controversy to
claim when speaking publicly, some
advantage from the message. The
straight reciprocity men urged that the
effect would be to cause at least some
of the beet sugar Republicans to aban-
don their opposition. They contended
that many Of them had misunderstood
the attitude of the president, and now
that this had been made clear there
could be no longer excuse for OppoS-
ing straight reciprocity measures.
The message, they argued, would
clear the atmosphere, render the pres
idents attitude unmistakable, and
therefore bring opponents within the
party face to face with the fact that
in continuing their opposition they are
anita gonizing the official head of the
party.
I'VE have known all the time where
the president stood on this subject,
and have told the Republican Oppo-
nents of reciprocity just what the
facts are" said leading reciprocity
senator. ''They refused to accept our
assurances, and professed to have ex-
pressions from the president to the
contrary. The message confirms all
that we have said to them. 1t clears
the atmosphere, and necessarily the
result must be beneficial for a reci-
procity BILL
The beet sugar leaders declared at
the close of the day that the message
had caused no loss whatever to them.
and that all those senator's who had
stood with them are still with them.
They also asserted that the preSi-
dents interpOsition in the matter had
had the effect of causing to hesitate
some senators who heretofore had not
taken a positive stand against reduc-
ton. because of the feeling that the
president should leave congress to
deal with the subject in it's present
stage.
Senator DIETRICH was among the
most outSpoken Of the beet sugar men,
and he made an unsuccessful effort to
secure the attention of the chair after
the reading of the message. Those who
are in his confidence say it was his
purpose to move for the discharge of
the committee from the further con-
sideration Of the house BILL in order
to permit the immediate consideration
of that measure There is still more
or less canvassing of the wisdom of
holding a Republican caucus, and it
is probable that ultimately one will
be held, but no date is now mentioned
