Affectionate Elephants.

A pathetic story of intelligence and
affectionate solicitude of an elephant
comes from the Midnapur district in
Bengal.
A wild tusker and a young animal
had done great damage to crops, and
the head man of the district, Babu
Canaan Lal MALTA, attempted to kill
them. He shot the larg. animal in the
leg, disabling it, but not sufficiently
for anyone to approach it.
For month, says the London EX-
press, the animals fingered in the dis
strict, the small one ministering to
the wants of Its wounded comrade, and
by furious charges kept the villagers
at safe distance.
Twinging its trunk about that of the
stricken brute, it uttered the most
mournful cries, famed the wound, and
gave every evidence of acute distress.
When the wounded elephant died it's
companion disappeared and has not
been seen since.

WESTERN CATTLE RANGES.
How They Yet May Be Restored to
Their Old Fertility.

The number of cattle in the United
States is increasing, though it does
not keep pace with the population. But
the business is more and more forced
on to high priced land, rendering beef
production costlier than it need be.
According to figures laid before the
house committee on public lands,
April 16, 1902, the number of range cat
tie sent to market diminished 81 per-
cent between 1896 and 1901.
With due care the range can be made
to recover It's old fertility. It might
easily be- put in condition to fatten
four head Of stock to each head now
grazing upon it. To effect this. regu.
lation is needed. Some authority must
be asserted over the pastures to pre-
vent their abuse, to make 1t for the
interest of occupants not to kill the
goose which lays the golden egg. An
end must be put to the blighting COM
petition now kept up.
Regulation being established, pas
lures can be used in rotation, a period
of rest being given each, during which
may cease, and grasses have opportun-
ity to scatter and fructify their seeds.
Barren places can be artificially re-
seeded and induced to yield herbage
as of old. In localities better grasses
than ever grew there can be sown and
grown.
Such a recuperative process has been
set going in other countries, and in
parts Of our own. Australia has suf-
fered the pinch through which we are
now passing. Her great live stock in
dustry was dying out; her exports Of
Ranges were depleted or destroyed,
as now with us Cattle "duffing," out
lawry, range jumping and quarrels
were general. The men of that country
faced the problem and solved It A
system Of leases was devised, giving
each grazier, for a term of twenty
eight years. exclusive range rights up
on his land. 1t became profitable for
him to improve his holding instead of
promoting its deterioration. The lessee
cuts his domain in two, pasturing
each part one year and resting it the
next. In this way the whole pasture
gradually improves in quality. Cattle
multiply and thrive as additional grass
grows to feed them.
Mexico and Canada have bad a SIM
liar experience, and so in our own
country, have Texas and other states
The excellent control Of cattle afforded
by the Canadian system accounts for
the present hegira of American cattle
people across our northern border.-E.

New Eive-cent Stamp.

bolizes the cemeting of the tie between
the North and South, and on that ac-
count the stamp will be known gen.
orally as the Union" stamp. 1t will

Reappearance of the Topaz.

Fashionable women who could not
possess pearl or two in their jewel
boxes only recently felt that all the
world stood awry. Every woman they
knew wore pearls set in some form or
other, and during the craze diamonds
for time lost their prestige.
Just now jewelers. are polishing up
and setting their supply Of topazes,
for the time seems ripe for reappear-
ance of the golden stone. A topaz
must be set with diamonds and sap
phires to give the good effects of con-
trast. Sapphires, more particularly,
will be favored, SO nearly does the blue
match the glowing purple of the corn
flower.
The jewelers. windows show topazes
wonderfully set in ornaments of dain-
tily carved tortoise shell, combs, fret
ted out as fine as lace work, and sprin-
killed. everywhere with topaz In every
shade from pale straw color to deep
est yellow.
Tortoise shell is the chosen setting
for the new favorite, and besides the
fancy combs wonderful bracelets are
being made of the richly colored shell.
Scarcely bracelets or bangles are these
new ornaments, but old fashioned arm
lets, that clasp the white member above
the elbows.-New York Herald.

Fashion Notes.

Feathers will be extremely fashion
able this season.
Some Of the newest skirts are
trimmed with either graduated rows Of
velvet or fancy velvet and braid gal
loon.
White velveteen of an inexpensive
quality, and said to be washable, Is
much favored for morning wear in
the house, with white cloth or serge
skirts.
A prominent feature of the spring
costumes will be the cuffs. Even the
plainest walking gowns will be distin-
guished for conspicuous cuffs, usually
of the gauntlet type.
A milliner has intrsdced new hat
pin, the head of which is made of q
neat little pompon of chenille. Worn
with felt hat it looks as If 1t was
part of the trimming.
The most attractive form In which
the separate fancy waist has made its
appearance this season is in ivory vel
vet, arranged in large plaits, decorated
with small gold buttons.
Cloth of two colors and types will be
used on one frock, cloth strappings
will decorate velvet and vice versa,
and lace motifs will be tinted to match
the gown they embellish.
A charming spring model in milli-
merry is of white moire silk, draped
with tulle, gagged and tucked so as to
resemble fur, with two long ostrich
feathers curling around the brim.
Braided skirts are decidedly the
vogue according to foreign advices;
sometimes the braid is just put on
plainly in rows on either side of the
plastron or it takes some Grecian or
severe conventional design. With the
closely plated skirts the plastron may
be braided and another favored spring
trimming for cloth dresses is decoupe
velvet and lace incrustations.
Trimmings promise to constitute the
chief charm of the spring costumes.
The tailor-made gowns will be elabor-
ately trimmed with bands of velvet
and braid artistically combined. But
tons of all sizes and all sorts will be
used as trimming. The demand for
silk cords and tassels will be increased
rather than diminished, and lace and
silk embroideries will be introduced
wherever there is possible excuse
for them.

An appropriation Of $3.50 for
New York State Electrical Laboratory
at Union College, Schenectady, is rec
commended by commission appointed
to determine the necessity for such an
institution. The laboratory is to sup
ply information on questions of elec-
trical science, and an official standard
for electrical measuring instruments
and apparatus, together with standards
for electric wiring of buildings for the
protection of municipalities and the
general public. Germany has such an
institution.

The Craze for Beadwork.

The beadwork Of the Indian woman
is steadily growing in favor, and we
are using her artistic and beautiful
handiwork for almost every purpose
in both the world of fashion and in the
household. Moreover, we are becom-
ing very expert in the making of at
tractive designs ourselves, and pretty
soon the paleface and the squaw will
be brought into sharp competition. But
we shall be handicapped, as the Indian
girls knowledge of this bead painting
is second nature to her. For use in the
household nothing is better to bright
en- up dark niche than string of
glass beauties. They adorn chandeliers
and hang over picture frames. Lovely
are the new candle shades. Covered
first with silk, they are dotted with
beads, and fringe of the same finishes
the bottom of the candle drapery. Bat
tie axes having beaded handles are
good for decorative purposes, and the
tomahawk and pie combination is also
adorned with beads. 1t seems we are
to wear bands of beads on our sum-
mer hats as we'll as on the belts of our
thin dresses. Purses, slippers and all
sorts of fancy baskets we have seen
from time immemorial, but the view
upon the once despised objects as
point has changed, and we now lools
things of beauty, and if the enthusiasm
keeps up they will prove joys forever,
as the durability of Indian work is pro-
verbial.-W STAR

Whetstones Made of Aluminium.

1t Is reported from Germany that an
experimenter there has found alumni
ium an excellent substitute for whet-
stone in giving a fine, keen edge to
blades. When examined with a mi
croscope, the edge of knife that was
sharpened ON the metal appeared much
straighter and smoother than one
sharpened on a stone. One peculiar
effect of the honing is that the surface
of the aluminium becomes coated with
q greasy substance with great power
of adhesion to steel, and to this is at
tributed the fine edge produced.

Three Ages Of Women.

"Woman'S life may be divided. broad
ly into three very distinct periods, the
whispering age, the giggling age and
the storming and fearful age" said an
observant man, "and if men were
shrewd they could easily make good
guess as to woman's age up to a GER
tain time. There is time when a
woman's age is matter of much mys-
terry, and a man, or woman, for that
matter, can't tell anything about it.
The first statement, in which the div1-
sion of periods is made, is probably
little awkward, for the whispering Pc
riod belongs to the child age rather
than to the age of the woman, and
the giggling period gets little closer
to the border line of womanhood. Still
all these periods belong to the life of
the sex, and hence, they may be prop
erly considered in the connection I
have in mind.
Mote the difference between the girl
and the boy Of, say between 10 and IL
years of age. The boy, as rule, Is
, loud, boisterous, speaks in big, COM
manding tones, and lives in all re-
spects the life intense. But here the
girl enters upon her whispering ca
reer. She begins to say things softly
to her companions. She whispers ev-
erything. She does not use her low
tones simply to peddle the little gossip
of the schoolyard, to say shy things
Of Jodie, and Richard, and Thomas,
and Henry, but she will whisper the
most ordinary things in the world,
mere commonplaces about which there
is no sort of need of secrecy. Now as
she buds into her teens she enters
upon a period OF apparently foolish.
often silly, giggling. She will sdggle
at the most trifling things in the
world, giggle at nothing and often she
will giggle when tears would be moro
becoming. OF course, she doesn't mean
to be harsh in this. She is probably
further from harshness at this age than
at any other time in her career.
ut Is the age when poetic and re-
ligious impulses are strongest in the
nature of woman, when the heart Is
tenderest and when the subtle esseaces
Of that indefinable thing, the soul, are
more plastic and more responsive than
at any other period. So she giggles,
and giggles, until after she has round
ed her way into the 20s. Thus we
come by degrees to the last period
when the lines of life have dropped
into their natural grooves, when tim
idity is replaced by the self-assertive
SDirit when life continually alterp2tes
between the sunshine and the shadow,
passing quickly from laughter to tears,
from song to sigh, from loves gentler.
lisping to the rasping speech Of petu-
lance, and so on until the fires burn
low on the hearth and the calm of age
falls softly as heavens benediction."-

he would be taxed only $50 year, but
if he sold $4,000 worth he would be
ripped up the back for 5000. That was
not fair, on its face. He thought the
old law should be stricken from the
code, and no license law at all passed,

Mr.. Harris made the point that some
