ELEPHANTS LUMBERING.
They Were Not only Doing Mans
Work, but Doing II Mans way.

The elephants round us were drag
glng the logs to the mill to be sawed.
They were harnessed for this with
broad breast band and heavy chains.
A native looped the chains round the
logs and the elephant started Off with
them and deposited them on the troll.
ley. Others were picking up the sawed
Dlanks with their trunks and carrying
them across the yard to be piled.
A mahout sat on the neck OF every
elephant, and If the animal picked up
too small n plank the mahout would
hint with his Iron spike, that two
might go to that load. Then, gruntIng,
the elephant would pick up the sec
ond with Infinite dellcacy Of balance,
turn, march over and deposit them be-
side the pile, always returning for an.
other load 80 long as there were any
planks ready. When there were none
he would take his ease In the sun and
walt or perhaps there were heavy logs
to be pushed from one place to an.
other, and If pushing would do, with
elephant would give himself the trou-
Bile Of picking 1t up any more than
housemaid will pick up chair on
clusters
More fascinating It was than can
tell to see the jungle patriarch kncel
down to a heavy log, twist his trunk
round 1t, place 1t on the top Of the
pile and then calculate Its position and
push and pull until 1t was square In
Its place. The oldest because the
most reasonable thing was to see the
elephant, pushing against the end Of n
very heavy log, stretch out one hind
leg to give himself balance and pur-
chase. That seemed to bring him
somehow very near to us. He was not
only doing our work, but he was do
ing 1t in our way.
Presently, with one accord, all the
elephants dropped work and moved In
the direction Of the sheds.
THAT means it's II o'clock" said
the foreman; dinner hour. Not for
himself could we get them to do
stroke OF work from now till 3. It's

and work till dusk, and they start

Russia: A certain count was out for

his sleigh and drove for home, about
fifty miles distant Immediately after
his arrival his gamekeeper announced
that n huge bear had scaled the wall
Of the park. The count went out and

offspring those fifty miles at the same
pace as relays of post horses and ar
rived In. time to share the fate Of her
cub and to have monument erected
where she fell.

SERMON REPORTERS.
In English Churches They Are Only
Admitted ON Suferance.

Some Cne who evidently speaks from
knowledge writes In the Homlletlc Re
view of 1.-The Experiences of Sermon
Reporter" His remarks ON the differ
ent rules In English and American
newspapers on sermon reporting and
his statement that II Is necessary to
verify Scrlptural texts are not without
interest Possibly there is text for
sermon not preached by the preach
ers In the following paragraph:
Reporters are invariably welcomed
TO American churches, for American
preachers seem fully alive TO the value
Of the advertisement obtained through
newspaper notices. Some preachers
even maintain their own press agent"
In order TO secure the utmost publicity
for the occasionally brilliant and, 1t
may be, eccentric statements which
they deliver. In English churches the
reporter Is only admitted Oh sufferance.
Under an ancient law, which has never
been repealed, the taking OF shorthand
notes of sermons Is misdemeanor
characterized ms "brawllng' and pun
lshable by Imprisonment. In few
American churches special desks are
available for reporters. They are, In
any case, treated with the utmost cour-
tesy by the ushers and provided with
seats Immediately below the pulpit.
ON rare occasion In Il crowded
church reporter has been allowed to
seat himself Oh the pulpit steps, and

BREAKING TRAIL.
In the Frozen Wilderness II Is the
Mennest of All Tasks.

To break trail is to pack with your
snowshnes the soft and uncrusted
SNOW into more solid path, so that
the dogs and tOboggans may be
brought forward to where you can
make camp. Even the SnOwShOPs, two
inches mt every step. The snow crum-
bies ana piles in on top OF the web so
that you have to tear each step with
wrench and kick and cloud Of
frozen white. You go forward, you
rest, you 90 forward again, forcing
your way laboriOusly through no one
can g}y how many feet Of snow. The
weuriucss enters into the very mar
row of your bones. The snowshoe
strap moves back and forth just
enough across the moose hide mecca
sins TO gall the foot to the flesh of the
toes; the muscles across the instep
ache with knircllke cuts with every
stop a5 you lift the heavy weight of
snow that covers the shoe out Of sight.
remember the first day we stopped
midway across the lake to rest The
guides dropped the tumpline from the
forehead to their shoulders cut some
tobacco from a plug, rubbed 1t be-
tween their hands and filed short,
black pipes. The dogs lay fat on the
snow and bit and chewed Mt the solid
Jumps of ice that had gathered on the
paws. With the handle OF my ak l
scraped from my snowshoe the frozen
masses of ice that gathered under my
m0ccaslns and were wearing blisters
OH my feet. We rested here only a
few minutes, and then the bitter cold
drove us on again, for no man dares to
stop long in such tcmperr ture
This br0aking trail is very pictur
eSQue to an outside observer. Often
times afterward when, unincumbered,
| had gone on ahead | would stop and
turn and watch the guides-black pyg-
mics struggling through the boundless
stretch of white with their heavily
loaded toboggans in great clouds Of
snow. With their shoulders thrust for
ward and their heads bent to the trail
they would swing along Mt an even
stride across the level eXpanse of fro
zen snow, broken only by the thin line
of trail stretching behind them off into
the distance and by the many still mar
rover tracks of the fox criss crossing
here and there on the smooth surface.

JAPANESE WHALERS.
The Curious Way They DO Their
Work with Nets and Knives.

Whales are captured IN nets by the
Japanese. The whalers put of from
The shore US quietly as possible, and
when tlry come within the proper dis
lance of their objective the boats,
which have hitherto worked in couples,
separate and, dropping their nets as
they 20, work around to the rear and
iianks of their expected kill. The nets
are made in large squares, each side
being about forty feet long. One net
is composed of six squares in line, and
the squares are fastened to each other
lightly. When all Is ready the boats
which have been worked around TO the
rear of the whale then commence to
drive him gently toward the nets. Nov
ing along lazily at first, the whale soon
realizes that something untOward Is
happening and, hurrying forward,
dashes Oh to one of the nets. This Is the
critical moment, and when the fisher
men see that the whale is well in the
center Of one of the squares they raise
Il great shout and charge in upon him.
When the whale Is about spent man
chosen for his strength, activity, pluck,
coolness and general fitness for his
work then leaps upon his back and
with great triangular shaped knife
proceeds to cut two great glsles in his
body just back of his head. Through
the underlying hlubber and these two
gashes he passes Il rope and, knottlng
it, makes loop of it. He then repeats
the same operation as far back on his
body us he can. When the fight has
been completely knocked out of the
whale, boats range alongside of him,
and by the help of the loops already
mentioned the hapless cetacean Is
slung between them in such manner
as to minimize the danger of his car
cass sinking.
Then the boats form in procession,
and, making for the shore, there com
mences the most curious part of the
whole affair. The whalers, with real
fervOr and in the most solemn manner
possible, begin chanting prayer for
the ease of the departing spirit by call
ing out "Joraku! Joraku! Joraku" In
low. deep tones. Upon the third day
after the kill memorial service Is
held in the village temple, and prayers
are offered for the repose of the dead
whales soul.-ChicagO News.

A Ma Id of Honor.

The late Lady Bloomfield was a maid
of honor and published book of rem
iniscences relating some very intimate
incidents of her years at court. The
result, the London correspondent Of
the Manchester Guardian tells, was
that the queen forbade her ladies to
keep diaries while they were in wait
ing, and from that rule grew one of
the neatest repartees that the heart Of
the professional diarist could desire.
A young lacy who had just been ap-
pointed maid of honor was receiving
congratulations at party, and her
host said. "Wbat an interesting jour
nal you can keep. The girl told him
that Journal keeping was forbidden,
and the answer was. But | think |
should keep one all the same" Then"
said the girl, whatever you were you
would not be a maid of honor."

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Every good husband is henpecked.
That's all there is to it.
Classical music is like some people

1t Is said that Il farmer gets the best
work out of farm hand who Is aspir-

Perhaps one reason why poor man

A DOG is ALWAYS HONEST.
He Can't GrowI md WnR His Tail at
the Same Time.

"There is one peculiar thing about
dogs" remarked well known local
fancier and huntsman, and that Is you
never saw one pant and wag his tail
at the same time. A dog Is not capa-
BILE of double emotion. He can't
growl and wag his tail at the same
time, for It Is impossible for him to
be mad at one end and glad at the
other
"If dog is glad to see his master
he will bark and wag his tail. If he
wants to get into the house he will
paw Mt the door. whine and wag his
tail, but they are all symptoms Of one
and the same emotion. But IL his mas
ter opens the door he will cease to
show anxiety Immediately by whining
and will show pleasure only by the
wagging Of his tail.
'In order to get mans temper one
must watch his eyes, but for a dogs
you have to watch his tail. The dog Is
likewise incapable of deceit. and hence
he is nothing of politician. He de-
ceives no one, not even his master. II
he is overjoycd every emotion Is in
dicatlve Of that fact, and his whole
makeup gives ample testimony to 1t.
If he is displeased or angered 1t is the
same way."-Houston Post.
