THE ELEPHANT AS NURSE.
Huge Animals ON q Tiny
Baby in India.

A woman In India tells this story
of an elephants skill as a nurse, says
the Hour Glass: 'Thou art hungry
doubtless, big mother" said Remmi,
emerging presently from the hut with
the baby in her arms. s'Ishta, beau
tiful elephant, take care of baby; am
going to see to your dinner" She put
the little restless brown bundle down
on the ground between 1shta's two
feet. Then she fetched the earthen-
ware jar of unglazed red clay and
filled it with live charcoal, setting it
down to get heated through while she
mixed -four and water into dough.
With the skill Of frequent practice she
spread the rough mixture three or four
inches thick all over the outside of tho
jar. While the dough was slowly
baked by the heat from the 4mbers in
side, Ishta patient and docile, as. was
her wont, cared for the baby, gently
restraining the little truant, who
would have crawled away. >...
" Now and again. when the baby
limbs moved quicker, and achieved
a few PAGES Of freedom, Ishta's trunk
would carefully wind round the little
body and lift it back to safety between
the huge barriers Of her feet, and the
tip would gently pet and fondle away

AN EXTRAORDINARY MALADY
Excessive Cleanliness Becomes a Dis
ease, Says a Medical
Authority.

It is from a recollection of his own
Affections as a child that college pro-
lessor makes a plea for dirt, says the
Philadelphia Record. Children he
AYERS, are tortured by the madness OF
mothers. They are not only scrubbed
with cruel frequency, but are re.
strained from wholesome play by the
threat Of punishment for soiled
clothes. Nature, he maintains, has had
good purpose in implanting in every
normal child fondness for dirt, and
the constant efforts to defeat this pur-
pose must have deleterious influence
on the character. He considers it a
grave Invasion of the rights Of child
hood to insist that the human young
who are in a state of barbarism
should look like angels on parade
THE laws of nature" he declares
cannot be constantly violated with
impunfty;" children who have the
possibilities Of fine manhood are
perverted into vain and f1nical pea
cock, by the diseased desire Of moth
ers for unnatural cleanliness. =.
That this desire for excessive clean
liness is in truth pathological is af-
firmed by medical writer in the Lon
don Lancet. He describes 1t as a
hatred or fear of dirt, and has no
doubt that it is an infectious germ dis
order. The woman whose highest am
bitton is to be regarded as the best
housekeeper; who makes all enjoy
ment Of the home impossible by her
eternal vigilance in the matter OF
dust; whose mind seems incapable>ol
entertaining any other idea than that
OF absolute cleanliness, is obviously
afflicted with this malady, which is
called mysophobia. That the disease
is extending is beyond doubt. What
has been called the force Of example
is in fact the effect of contagion. It is
chiefly because of the consequences to
the children that the subject is con-
sidered worthy of attention, but there
is little hope that any appeals to
mother love will be effective. =.

MAXIMITE SAFE ENOUGH.
But It Is Almost Fifty Per Cent. More
Efficient Than Dyn-
amite.

Mr.. Maxim will show you one of his
important inventions, his powerful
shell-exploder, known as maximite,
which in explosive force is about so
per cent. more efficient than dynamite,
and somewhat more powerful than pure
nitroglycerine. go, .-.s. ...r :. :
This maximite, writes Joseph H.
Adams, in "A Day with Hudson Nam
im," in st. Nicholas, has lately been
adopted by our government as a burst
ing charge for projectiles and shells,
and It is equaled in SCATTERING force
by only two other known substances.
In spite Of it's high explosive quality
it is a very safe compound to handle,
and Is practically unaffected by shock,
and will not explode by being set on
fire even If mass Of 1t is stirred with
white-hot iron. It will burn with a
bright green fame, and can be ignited
with match. T. l.:n. - ;, :s-s.*
All this: Mr.. Maxim demonstrated by
lighting a,pdece Of smokeless powder and
dropping 1t In q dish containing some
Jumps Of maximite. He also. melted

OLD NEcKWEAR REMoDELED
Novel Indianapolis Industry That Is
Becoming One Of Some '%
Importance. fs' = t'F

This is an age Of remodeling. 1t seems
that anything from hatpin to brown
stone front can be made over. The
latest article to fall prominently into the
hands Of the renovator is the necktie. It
is now no longer necessary for dealer
to carry stock Of old, unstable neck
wear. He can have his ancient stock
Of neckties made into the latest fashions,
and they can easily be unloaded on the
public.
If one looks over the list Of Indianapo-
lis industries he will find about every
kind of enterprise represented here,
says the Star. Making over. neckties
has not been left out, although the fac
tory has been here but a few years. A
firm which now engages in this business
is located on South Alabama street.
Last year this firm turned out, Ct, 900
dozen neckties. all Of which were made
from old stock. -. 49,.
The neckWear remOdeling factory is
q salvation to the dealer, who stocks up
with fine line Of imperial put, wind
sor string and stock ties. These ties
soon grow DID, and he cannot sell them
at q profit. Formerly he reduced the
price on them, and thus they were sold,
but now he gathers them all together
and ships them to the remodeler. Here
they are made into bow ties, which can
be sold at any time Of the year.
Any ordinary tie, when cut up, will
make several bow ties: The number of
bows which can be made from other
ties varies from three to twelve. The
remodeler charges the dealer but one
dollar for making a dozen bows and the
dealer retailing the made-over neck
tie gets Is cents for it. His profits are
good and he thanks the man who gave
birth to the idea of making over old
neckwear. ~
Nearly all bow neckties are now made
from the old stock Of other neckties.
The process of making over tie is in
teresting. It requires seven girls to
make over one bow. The old tie goes to
a girl to be pressed. It then goes to the
marker and then to the cutter. After
being cut the pieces 60 to girl who
sews the bags and points. These are
taken to the bow maker. Then the bow
Is handed to the shield sewer, who, after
finishing her work, gives It to the as
sorter, who trims and gets it ready for
shipment. During the busy season Of
the year the local factory employs 80
girls at this work. 81. ~ s:;,. I'll. / !,
Seeing an itinerant hat remodeler at
work suggested to the founders Of the
local tie-remode telling factory the possible
tiles in the business OF making over
ties and a small concern was started
which developed into a company which
now has wide trade. - 49," .=aa't 4
