member of the state board OF health.

nothing to do with the matter.

ployers of labor are so familiar.
When this elephant decides that the
gang has been insulted or unjustly
treated in any way, he throws up his
trunk and trumpets. The others i'm
mediately stop work, and will not re-
sumo it until the grievance has been
remedied. Their 'mahouts" usually
know what is the matter, and can soon
put it right. Perhaps the sugar cane
has been forgotten, or the lunch has
not been sufficient; perhaps a foolish
driver has tried to bully an elephant
into carrying a weight too heavy for
him; perhaps an elephant who is ac-
customed only to carrying has been
put in harness to draw log. Cases
have occurred in Burmah and India
where the ''mahouts" could not i'm
agine what the grievance was, and,
therefore, could not remedy it, with
the result that twenty or thirty ele-
plants sulked for days.
If the elephant is handled properly
and allowed all that he thinks ought
to come to him, he is the best worker
in the world. He never idles, never
tries to rob his master of time, and al
ways works willingly, vigorously and
intelligently. His sagacity has been
much written about, but only those
who have seen him at work realize it.

TO reach their destination until they
cease to smell the plant The state

people.

and an analysis Of its properties. a del
