terry, where the graves have been
marked with separate stones
similar to, although somewhat
larger than those denoting the
graves of the Union dead in
other parts OF the grounds. The
removal of the remains that had
been inferred elsewhere also was
at the expense OF the general
government, as is the present
careful attention given to the
plot. These facts were referred
to feelingly and with gratitude
during the ceremonies. AS the
sun was setting, the assembly
moved to the northern part of
the cemetery and decorated the
tomb wherein lie the remains OF
2,111 unknown Union soldiers.
An address was made, praising
the valor OF the dead. The mu-
sic for the ceremonies was by a
United States army baud, and
there were many army officers
and members of the Grand Army
of the Republic present.
There have been fraterniza-
tons elsewhere, promoted by pa
triots North and South, but Ar
lington is the central point, the
home of the Federal dead. Such
a double ceremony as above
mentioned is of deepest siguifi-
canoe. Not only did it happen
as described, but with the APP
proval of the people everywhere,
We do not hear a discordant

upon the event.

It is, besides, absolutely necessary for the professor ih an elephant school to win and keep his pupils absolute con 1dence. For all this 1t is very fascinating work, and no teacher In the world in any school, it is safe to say, takes greater pride in lis pupils than the expert elephant trainer. Qualification for Admission
 As a rule only young elephants are ad- mitted into the elephant schools. It Is of course proverbia1 that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks, and the rule is peculiarly true as applied to elephants. Comparatively old elephants are of course often trained, but it requires a long course to perfect their education. There is first of all a preliminary examination to de- termine if the elephant. be particularly vicious or has any bad habits which might tend to demoralize the rest of the school. An elephant known to be dangerous. for instance, is not generally considered eIixi- ble. Some of the elephants, again. which enter the school at Bridgeport have all ready passed through the lower classes and are at once advanced from the kin dergarten department to some one of the advanced or special courses.
 The first lessons in the elephant school are given privately. It has been found that a. herd of young elephants is as mIs- chievous as any schoolboy. Stand the ele. phants in a line and attempt the simples, exercise and the class will soon be in an uproar, exactly as 1t would be with the same number of lively. full blooded boys Now, every herd of elephants has its leader, whom the rest initiate.

 why" said the friend. ''I can help you out on that. l have an intimate friend in the business. and will have him make you up a special box of cigars filled with cabbage leaves and all sorts of vile smell Ir z stuff that will cure your friends.''

 school differs from that of any

 B, c of an elephants education is usually taught within two months. For advanced courses of instruction, the post graduate work, several years are often required. The elephants ring, to be sure. looks very unlike an ordinary school room, hithough the elephants are treated very much like rather stupid children. and in potn again moral suasion is first used, wniie corporal punishment may be re- sorted 70 in extreme cases, when the steel birch,
 A generation of circus audiences have marveiled naturally at the feats of trained eiepndnts. After one has once seen a class pr tnese elephants at school, however, theiI perIornance borrows a new interest. The melnods of the various elephant teachers mere are only a few great ones-may bt readily recognized. Watch them closely anu you can quickly pick out the dunct Hs well as the star pupil of the class.
 He teaches promptings which are no, audbole to the audience at the circus. Per. maps they consist merely of a gesture which will soon be recognized The ac. CompdHylng illustrations are reproduced from photographs taken in the trainina school for the Barnum & Bailey elephants The course each year in both the primary and post graduate education of elephants Is generally recognized to be one of the most complete and thorough of it's kind In the country.
 The HarUard of Framed Ezephants
 The course opens in November each yea, at Bridgeport when the circus goes into winter quarters, and continues, with the usual holidays, until the following March Bridgeport is the Harvard of Educated elephants.
 The methods used in training elephants Incidentally, are of much greater popular Interest than might be supposed The same course of instruction given to ele- plants, for instance, with some tridins notifications might be used effectively ir training dogs or cats in the household tc do attractive tricks.
 The size of these ponderous students and their almost uncomfortable power when once reused, naturally render eIe. phant training extremely difficult A SIC. cessful teacher in an elephant school mus be man of great moral courage, as wei as a keen judge of elephant nature.

on the knee may be changed to a sharp rap, or even the steel hook may be used gently, to the depth of an inch or two, into the elephants thick. Ill fitting skin. As a rule, an ordinarily intelligent elephant re- spends very quickly to this hint.
 As soon as the pupil has learned this first exercise by heart the lesson Is extended to include the knee of the other front leg. Most elephants will bend one knee to the professors demand. but will hesitate, per haps for days, at bending the second knee. When at last, however, an elephant will literally go down on its knees at the word of command, the battle has been fairly won, and 1t is little trouble to induce him to roll over ponderously on his side. He is now ready to be graduated from the primary class. A course of a couple weeks usually suf1ices to complete this elementa " training. The recitations are held daily, but rarely more than one hour is devoted to single lesson. All work and no play, if has been found, makes dull elephants.
 The Sitting Up Exercise.
 The second course of instruction con sists in teaching the elephants to sit up. This is done paradoxical, as 1t may seem, by first teaching them to sit down. The elephant is taught to sit down like a horse, much as 1t is taught to lie down, only 1t is the hind legs this time that the trainer taps or Jabs in order to make his pupil catch his meaning. When once an elephant learns to sit up the way is opened to teaching him to raise his fore legs in the air. This, apart from the value of the discipline, Is itself very engaging trick, for a herd of elephants to sit down to- gether and raise their feet clear of the ground at the word of command is gem eraIly enough to bring forth rounds of ap- nlause from most circus audiences.
 After this the elephant, with almost in- finite patience on the part of the profess sor. has been induced by easy stages to rise on his hind feet to an upright position. He is induced finally to actually walk about in this, for him, extremely unnatu- raj position. Considering the immense weight the elephant must lift in order to rise and hold himself aloft on his hind legs this trick is even more amazing than 1t appears. As final lesson the elephant is
