MOTHER ELEPHANT AND HER BABY.

A remarkably intelligent elephant
working a few years ago on a new
bridge in Ceylon had a young one to
which she was devoted. It died and
she became inconsolable.
Formerly the gentlest of creatures,
she grew irritable and even dangerous.
One morning she broke the chain
which confined her and escaped into
the forest.
One night about ten days after her
escape the officer who had been in
charge of her went out to lie in wait
for bears at a pond in a jungle at some
distance.
AS he and his native attendant were
returning early in the morning the ma
tive silently nudged him, and they
saw in the dim gray light an elephant
with her calf making their way toward
the camp. They both sprang behind
trees, and when the elephant had
passed the native insisted that the old
er one was their old friend, the incon-
solable mother.
When they reached the camp they
found that the truant had returned and
had gone from one person to another
touching each with her trunk sif ex-
hibiting her adopted child which she
had evidently begged, borrowed or
stolen in her absence.
Her good temper and usual docility
returned at once, and her owner
blessed the good fortune which had
enabled her to procure baby ele-
phant.

sou1REs IN THE SOUTH.

"The title of squire which is rare
ly heard in the north, is still in vogue
in the south. When a man is elect
ed justice of the peace in Dixie he
is squire, and although he may have
subsequent titles bis old friends and
~z..;-a. - eoid southern LAWYER who
is attending the sitting Of a New
York court for the first time.
He had been introduced to several
attorneys as Squire Blank of Alabama,
and he was asked by one what the
title signifed in his case. He said
he was elected justice of the peace in
his town in Alabama at the close of
the Civil War, and although he has
been a State Senator from his district
several times, and is major in a
military organization, he is still
squire.
"Our people," he continued, "are
given to tacking title to any citizen
who is at all active in politics, but
they have sort of reverence for the
old English esquire, which they alb
breviate by eliminating the first letter.
IT know a man who refused to be
a candidate for the Office of justice of
the peace simply because he would
have had to give UP his professional
title if he had been elected. He was
a retired physician. He said he pre-
ferred to live and die as doctor.
''In some of the old graveyards in
the south one may find the title
squire carved on the headstones which
mark the resting place of the man
who in life was a justice of the
peace.
'It becomes second nature to the
man who has the title to introduce
himself, where it becomes necessary
as Squire So-and-so. A man with
any other title, except that of doctor,
would not do so but to say I am

"Oh, yes" a man in the hotel
lobby was overheard to say, "I'm
a real farmer now. My farm only
costs me about SIS per month now,
so you can see I'm getting along"
Then the man was heard to COM
ment upon farm labor.
"It's all right to talk about the
poetry of farm life," he said, "but if
farm life is poetry want the pro-
siest sort of prose in mine. Is there
any poetry in greasing harness? Do
you find any rhyme and ryhthm in
milking a double jointed, back action
COW twice a day? Well, I guess
not"
"But there's the scenery" his
companion inteuected, "and the smell
of grain"
EYES," said the amatuer farmer,
"and the chiggers, and the red bugs
and holes in the fence, and rats in
the seed corn, and the potatoes sprout-
ing. And if you are through plow-
ing for awhile and haven't anything
better to do you fix the wheelbarrow
for recreation, or you can see that
the pen is made hog proof, or that
the water trough doesn't leak too
much. Then if everything else fails
and it's too rainy to do anything else
you can get out second hand kit
and fix the crupper on the harness
or nail strips of boiler plate on the
feed box so that crib eater of plug
won't have too many splinters in him
when he dies. Oh, you can bet I'm
too much of farmer to look at the
poetic side oft. I'm realist farmer;
that's what I am"

THE PLEASURE OF rR1xzDsH1p.

Recognizing the fact that friend.
ship has its limits, we should not
claim too much. We can never fully
understand each other and our modes
of thought will always differ. Each
PERSONS conscience must speak for
itself each ones will execute its
own decisions. Responsibility be-
longs to the individual and duty is
untransferable. We must recognize
in our friends this personal element
and not seek its eradication.
Bitterness and sarcasm, a hasty
temper, self-will and dogmatism.
have dug the graves of many friend
ships; and stupidity and stubborness
impoverished the heart and render it
unsusceptible to purest joys.

TowsoN, MD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1904

with two wicks that rose out of cake
ofsulphur. In the middle of the cake
ofsulphur there was vail of transpar-
ent fluid.
"This is pocket fumigator," he
said. ''You take the stopper from
the vial and light the two wicks, and
thereupon vapor deadly to every
kind of germ arises. The pocket fu-
migator is applied by the germ hunt
er to the public drinking cups in rail
way stations, to plates and goblets in
dubious restaurants, to towels in
doubtful hotels. The germ hunter
knows that many persons have con-
tracted incurable and dreadful dis
eases from the use of public cups and
towels. He knows that small towel
may have germ population as great
as the human population of the world.
Hence you see him in a washroom or
railway station, bringing forth his
lamp lighting it, and directing its
rather vile smelling vapor on the tow
el or cups he purposes to use. He bends
over his task with intent brows.
He pays no attention to the inquisi-
tive state of the people. He is often
interrupted by ignorant policemen or
special officers who say:
"Here, what are you doin' to that
cup?' or DO ye want to set that tow
el on fire, mister?"
The dealer, smiling, sets the lit
tie lamp down.
"This object here is a germ proof
wind veil," he said.
The wind veil had meshes unu-
sually fne-it rather resembled cloth
than veiling-and in the back 1t but
toned.
eff, on a windy day." said the
dealer, "you examine under the
microscope cubic inch of the air of
the average city, you find that this
air is a squirming, writhing mass of
dangerous germs. The germs of con-
sumption predominant in that mass
more than half of them are tui,ercle
bacilli, or consumption germs. It is
therefore good thing, if you are
afraid of consumption, to wear on
windy days germproof wind veil.
Without this veil you are bound to
take down into your lungs millions of
consumption germs. You wouldn't
put hungry cat in room with
raw beefsteak if you wanted the beef
steak to remain intact, yet you put
down in you lungs swarms of tnber-
Gle bacilli, though you know that

object of these terrible little creatures

"In that way" said the dealer,
"the faddist argues, and on windy
days he wears his wind veil. I know
three men in New York, four in
Chicago and two in Philadelphia who
wear these wells. The wells, each
time they are taken off, are washed
in sterilized solution.

up and it emits germ destroying
vapor. People with these instruments

gated daily"
The dealer laughed. He gathered
up the germ killing devices and put
them back upon their shelves.

CARE OF MEMS CLOTHES.

Mems suits, like women's heavy
skirts, look we'll and retain their shape
for a much longer time if, when not
in use, they are always folded in their
original creases and laid away, not
hung up in the ordinary way.
A coat collar is quickly cleaned if
benzine is poured on it and with a
cloth rubbed briskly in, and man is
not happy looking when his coat has
a soiled collar. Besides, these little
attentions by prolonging the useful
ness of ones expensive garment may
save money to buy other things.
First brush the garment, then wet
the grease spots with benzine and rub
with a cloth the color of the goods and
mend if need be. Then takeit to the
ironing board. Have hot iron al
ways. Wiring lintless cloth out of
cold water and, laying it on the gar
ment, iron till dry. This "freshens"
and removes dust as goes. Repeat
till every part of the garment has
been ironed. By this process alone
even quite disreputable looking old
pantaloons are made to look new.
