ELEPHANTS IN BURMA.
The Great Beasts sometimes work
without Immediate oversight.

The Grent Beasts sometimes work
without I'm mediate oversight.
In Burma the animal generally used
in numbering operations is the ele-
phant While my lord the elephant
solves In unique way the transporta-
ton problcm-always vexatious one
In numbering operatlons-he does more
than that. The stolid and slow moving
OK can haul Il load from one place to
another, but the load has to be made
ready for him In the first place, and
after IL has arrived Mt its destination 1t
has to be unloaded. The elephant
takes care of all these operations. Not
only he is II draft animal but In
some instances, at IL word from his
driver, he picks up n timber, carries 1t
to the designated point, and then not
only deposits II where 1t belongs, but
does so with precision and comparative
ease, accomplishing result almost i'm
possible by hand labor and with less
expenditure of time than would be re-
qulred by u steam ciane.
In most eases an elephant driver, or
mahout. Is required for each elephant,
but human labor Is so cheap as not to
be factor in the expense. The ele-
plant furnishes the labor which is paid
for. and the driver Is looked upon as n
necessary. though not altogether de-
sirable, concomitant, as the native
helper Is not so much to be relied upon
as his big charge. opium and the
strong brews of native roots work on
human frailty, but the elephant has no
desire for these. In many big lumber
ing operations the elephants are seem
ingly told" what they are to do in the
morning, and in some degree left to
carry on the work during the day ac-
cording to their own devices. Very re-
markable are the stories told of their
sagacity. One of these stories, vouched
for as true. concerns numbering, and
tells of an elephant that was about to
pick up a log just as the great gong
which signaled the close of the days
work was sounded. TO the surprise of
the mahout, the log, only little larger
than others which had been carried,
proved too heavy for the elephant to
lift from the ground. Another elephant
was requisitioned but the two together
failed to make any headway with the
heavy timber, and the attempt was
given up. In the morning the first ele-
plant went Immediately to the timber
lifted it with apparent ease, and car
ried it to the required resting place.

southern Europe.

A traveller writes Il have often been
struck by the ease with which people
in southern Europe are amused. In
Paris 100000 people go out to Long
champs for the Grand Prix race, and
half million people 20 out and line
the roads on their return TO see them
come back. In Rome at the feast Of the
"Divino Amore" 5000 people go out on
the Campagna to n spot where once
stood temple to Venus and hold a
picnic, while $4,000 go out and line the
Applan way TO see them return. In
Madrid this popularity is even more
marked. On the Puertn del Sol about a
thousand people stand around and do
nothing outdoors. while crowds of peo-
pie sit indoors or lean from balconies to
watch them do It. And In Seville the
idle rich sit In clubs and cafes on the
Sierpes TO watch the lower classes wall,
by. while the lower classes walk by tc

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Most kinds of fruit trees thrive best
in rolling lands.
II mildew appear on the rosebushes,
dust with sulphur.
The garden must be mellow, rich and
kept clean. This Is the inside secret of
successful gardening.
An application of hard wood ashes
will supply the soil with the potash so
necessary in growing small fruits.
Bone meal is an excellent garden
fertilizer but 1t does not give immedi-
ate results unless dissolved with acid.
The longer an orchard is kept in cul-
tivation and crop taken off the great
er becomes the necessity of liberal ma
nuring.
The greater portion OF the roots of
the grapevine grows near the surface.
For this reason the cultivation should
be shallow.
In the garden especially one of the
drawbacks to the termination of seeds
is that they are often covered with too
much earth when planted. Usually
the smaller the seed the less covering
Is required.

sncexine Is n BAD Omen and Keeps
Men Erom Dusincss.


A resident Of Dhnrmapuri writing
on the subject of Hindoo superstitions,
says that married woman, dancing
girl, mirror and an ass-the most
neglected of the Indian domestic AMI
mals--are also among the first objects
of good omen which Hindoo should
meet ms soon MS he wakes from his
sleep. A Hindoo does not stir out of
his house on any errand, not only
during the Rahukalum--an hour and
half day-but also some time be-
fore 1t. Some do not do any work
during Gulikakulum as well-another
one hour and half a day. The cor
respondent does not mention that In
more advanced countries some people
make Rakukalam and Gulikaknlum
last great deal longer. Besides these
there are Natchathirams (stars), of
which there are twenty-siX, each of
Which occurs every day. A particu-
lar Natchathiram on particular day
Is either good or bad. At times an
orthodox Hndoo will not have good"

female crow together means the ap-

fate may be averted by writing a
letter 10 some of his relatives at n
distance saying that he is dead. The
appearance of rat snake at the right
hand side of journey Is considered
most lucky. A Hindoo will never feed
guest for the first time on Sundays,
Tuesdays or Thursdays-these days are
supposed TO bring enmity between the
host and the guest. A Hindoo doctor
will never administer medicines TO his
patient even If he is very dangerously

A CROWDED CITY.
To Walk In Constnntinople Is Like
n Fierce Struggle.


To walk in Constantinople is like
fierce and active struggle. One should
look at once before, behind and under
meath ones feet. Some danger or dis
gust is always threatening. l never
walked up the steep road which leads
from the bridge to Pera without the
feeling that l was fighting my way
through n hostile city. A horn blows
furiously, and a black man runs up the
hill, clearing the way before the dash
ing and struggling horses of the tram.
At the same moment q cab drives at
full speed down the hill, and the horses
set their feet on the pavement In front
of you man balances slices of offal on
long pole across his shoulder. They
dangle before and behind. He swings
cheerfully with his burden through the
crowd. A Kurd, STOPPING under a
weight higher than himself, follows,
step by step, behind you. Your feet slip
in slushy mud and catch on the cobbles
or in the gaps of the road.
A dog with a red wound behind his
ear and long strip Of NANCY skin on
his back lies asleep in the middle of the
pavement. You step into the road to
avoid the dogs and the hamals, and
wheels and horses are upon you. You
step back into the midst of the dogs
and the hamals. As you stand aside for
a moment n beggar with handless
arm rounded into stump and woman
with her face eaten away In the cavity
Of the hood which she draws back be-
fore you appear suddenly, filling what
had seemed the only alley Of escape.
The sun soaks down into the narrow
street. The smell of the mud rises up
into your nostrils, mingled with those
unknown smells which In Constantine
| pie seem to ooze upward out of the
ground and steam outward from every
door and window and pour out of every
alley and rise like cloud out of the
breath and sweat and foulness of the
