Friday. I noticed that night that Bow-Wow wouldn't eat, his hay, but I didn't think nothing about it. During the night the elephants was wakeful and restless and heard them gruntin' away at each other and seen them waggin' their old hsads, all night long. You see, that day that little devil eie- phant Coco had been taken away and sent to Bridgeport. I knew there was something up, but I never guessed what it was. Coco was so ugly he was always maxim trouble for me and the other elephants. He was always buttin' in an mixin' things up. and we decided to send him back to the mines for course of sprouts. -.- E
 "W'sll, somehow or another. this Co., Co and Bow-Wow chums in the world. Bow-Wow was the only one that could get along at all with Coco. It took me a long time to tumble, but 1t growed on me all day Saturday, and Saturday night I seen a light. That Bow-Wow kid was just eatin' his heart out thinkin' about Co-co.He'd figured, some way, that we'd ssnt Coco away to be killed and it got to him so hard that he made up his mind he'd go, too.
 He didn't eat nothin' all day Satur- day, and I could see that he was just waftin' his chance to do somethin' des- prit. His chance come that night.
 "W'a left the Garden at 12:45 o'clock and come over to Brooklyn by way of the Williamsburg Bridge The ele- plants was in the lead. and Bow Wow was in the third row, just in front of old Syp, on the inside. I was up and down the line cheerin 'em up and tsll- in 'em it was all right. You know they hates to cross bridges and it's al- ways big pull to get 'em over at all. : Well, I was way to the rear of the bunch. when hsar the worst sort of a bellerin' and takin' on up ahead. The Whole troop seemed to be off it's head. l rushed up to see what's the trouble and what do you think finds?
 There's little Bow-Wow, damned half way through one of them holes in the iron work, on the inside of the roadway, squealin' to beat the band. His head and trunk was hangin' down below the level of the floor and his hind quarters was up in the air, and old Gyp, what's got paralyzed trunk. has his forehead against him, jarnn1in' him up against one of the iron girders. hosdfn' him there and yellin' for help.

 Gee That was a mess! For a minute didn't know what to do. If Gyp had the use of her trunk, shs would have lifted him back, but her old proboscis is a dead one, and she couldn't do nothin' but hold Bow-Wow there and holler.
 Tell me elephants can't talk! I rushes back for a rops to tie to Bow Wow, but before can make a move out comes Boots and Jim, two of the powerful big fellers, and takes their places with Gyp. They was apparent ly waitin' for instructions, and she give them, all right. She bellered and squealed q minute and then them two, without sayin' a word, reaches down with their trunks and gets a half Nell son on Bow-Wow, and before you could do d-d thing, they had him back on the roadway. ------..~. .s...
 He squealed and whimpered bit, but old Kyp give him a good talk and he behaved all right the rest of the way. Gyp wanted to be with him. I could see, and so I makes him walk with her all the way over. .a--s
 Since then I've had Gyp right be- side him all the while. but he ain't eaten bite for six days, and don't know what to do about it. know it's all about Coco and told the boss to-

SOME SURPRTsING FIGURES.

A good many will be surprised by
 some official figures, quoted by mem- ber of Parliament, MT. T. L. Corbett, to show the notable increase in the number of conventual and monastic in- stitutions in Great Britain during the last fifty years It appears that, in 1850, there were in England, apart from
 Ireland and Scotland, eleven monas- teriss and forty-one convents, or a total of fifty-two. In 1904 there were l 305 nonasteries and 6S5 convents, or total of 990. This year the total has reached 1,O57 in England, 592 in Ireland, l and 62 in Scotland, or a grand total of 1,711. From parliamentary return made in 1876, showing the state of the | law in all the countries of Europe, both
 Protestant and Roman Catholic, it ap- pears that Great Britain is the only i Power that exercises no supervision
 over these institutions. One result of l this is, that an inmate, repenting of her ] vows, has no appeal to the civil power,
 a right that is carefully guarded even 1 in Austria. Mir. Corbett's interest ill l this question is due to the fact that many of these conventual institutions, | Protestant as well as Roman Catholic, take advantage of their exemption from
 the operation of the factory act to
 carry on an immense and lucrative bus | mess in opposition to the laundries
 subject to government supervision. The chief inspector of factories reports that

NOPE ADULTERATION.

That is particularly disgusting and discouraging discovery of adulteration in San Francisco. The board of health Of San Francisco has recently investi- gated the drinks sold to the public in that city, for the purpose of seeing what the people were given in return for their money. One hundred samples Of red wines were procured and brought in and analysed. It was found that forty-one of these samples were adul- terated with coal tar, salicylic acid, ar senic, etc. The board gave names and addresses, with full particulars, and the newspapers published the report. California being a wine producing country, and with wines both abundant and cheap, 1t would seem as if purity ought to be correspondingly marked. But when almost one-half of the sam ples which the San Francisco health authorities procured were found to be ''doetored,' the proportions to which the present day adulteration of various products is carried are well indicated
 At the present rate of progress even college athletics will not long remain pure.

ENCOURAGING

It is encouraging to notice that a successful campaign against mosqui- toes and malaria has been waged by Kiang and Port Swettenham, obscure towns in the Federated Malay States. In 1900 both were hotbeds of malaria. Of 2s3 houses in Klang but three eseap- led infection during the last four months of that year. So serious did the situa- ton become that the Chinese residents held three days "chou-chou" to ex- orcise the devil, to whom, instead Of the mosquito, the disease was credited Of 196 government servants 11S were down with malaria. So bad was the case that the British authorities re- solved to apply the measures recon,- rnended by Major Ronald Ross, the dis coverer of the exact connection be- tween mosquitoes and malaria. At a cost of s13,OOO swamps in and about the towns were filled up, jungle and under growth were cleared and contour drain was dug around the declivities to intercept the incoming springs. The result is striking. In December last less than per cent. of the 26O children of the two towns had the malarial par asite in their blood, against 34S per cent. of the 29S children in the districts surrounding the towns. The records of sick leave granted to officers in the two towns still better prove the advantage of drainage. In 1901 the days of sick leave aggregated 1,o26; in 1902, 19S; in 1903, 73; in 1904, T. Since July, 1904, no officer has suffered from malaria during the worst malarial season.
 If this can be done in a tropical coun- try it seems probable that something like it can be done in New Jersey and other places in this country.

Bow-WoW TRIED TO DIE.
Mourned Loss of Companion, Bad G

Mourned Loss of Companion, Bad Co., Co, Sent Back to Bridgeport.
 Will Emery, head elephant trainer of the Barnum & Bailey show, is at his wits end to know what to do about Bow-Wow, the baby elephant, who plays the wounded soldier in the battle scene. s' S5.'| s%'
 Bow-Wow won't eat. Bow-Wow is gentle and patient and kind-even more so than formerly. But the little ele- phant is undoubtedly suffering from a settled melancholy and, according to the trainer, is bent on seaf-destruction. T don't most generally talk much about my pets" said Emery. ''The show hires a, regular man to do the talking, and have to stand for a good deal, but when anything like this hap pens I keeps it to myself and says nothin' about it. The trouble is that most people don't know elephants like do. They is just like humans in eve rything but talking, and don't think for minute they can't talk to each other. tThey knows they is big and people comes to see them just because they is big, and in public it makes them close mouthsd. But when they gets alone in the big tent at night they talks it all over and they understands just the same as we do. Now, this may sound a little fishy, but it's a fact, just the same, that every elephant in the troop knows about Bow-Wow. t.'

ILLINOIS, ANrI-MoB LAW.

Illinois now has an "anti-mob" law, Governor Deneen having signed it. It seems to be pretty thorough one. It defines mob" and provides that any one helping to compose such a gather ing may be fined or imprisoned in the county jail. It provides that ''any per son or persons who, under the pretence of exercising correctional powers, &C., tually infiict injury on person charg- ed with crime, may. be imprisoned in the penitentiary for 8 term not exceed ing five years, being also subject to an action for damages The new law gives the surviving heirs of the victim of lynching the right to recover from the city or county where the outrage takes place damages not to exceed $10,- 900. Finally, the law provides that a sheriff who. fails to stop lynching shall be removed from office by the governor, and reinstated only upon the presenta- tion of satisfactory evidence that he did his best to protect his prisoners.
 Perhaps Illinois was not as much in need of such law as some States are, but occasions will doubtless arise where it can be used to good advantage.

There is discussion in the English papers as to which is the oldest inn in England. A writer in the Estates Mag azine thinks the Ostrich, at Colnbrook, Middlesex, is one of the oldest. There is every reason to believe it has been in existence seven hundred years, and even then took the place of an earlier inn burned down by Henry I. in conse- Quence of the misdeeds of the tenant. The story of the Seven Stars, in Man chester, can be traced clearly back to 1856. Its existence as a licensed house dates down to that year. Among the relics of the Seven Stars is an old clock which has stood at the eitop of the staircase for more than two hundred years.
