Elephants Delight in Dress and Cor
geOms TrappfnEs.
Elephants are passionately fond Of
6nery and delight to see themselves
decked out with gorgeous trappings.
The native princes Of India are very
particular in choosing their state ele-
plants and will give fabulous sums for
an animal that exactly meets the some
what fanciful standards they have
erected.
For these they have made cloths Of
silk SO heavily embroidered with gold
that two men are hardly able to lift
them.
An amusing instance of elephantine
pride is narrated: The elephant which
usually led the state procession Of a
rajah being Ill, the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which had
up to that time occupied only a subor-
dinate place.
The animal, delighted with its finery,
showed its glee by so many little
squeaks and kicks Of pleasure that gen.
eral attention was attracted to it.
Not long after another state process
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer Of the gold cloths, being re-
stored to health, took his accustomed
place and trappings, when the now de-
graded beast imagining, perhaps, that
he was being defrauded of his promo
ton, was with great difficulty restrain
ed from attacking the leader Of the
parade.

The Struggle to BE Clean.

At Christmas time a settlement-work-
er asked an East Side mother what she
would like for a present. "a bath tub, "
was the quick reply. "My baby is get
ting too big for the dish-pan."
This, declares one of the visitors of
the Charities Department in the New
York Sun, is not an isolated case. 1T
is not only the dish-pan that is brought
into reQuisition as a wash-bowl, but
the saucepan, the potato-kettle and the
bread-tin.
II always demonstrate with the moth
ers when this sort Of thing comes to
my notice, but it is delicate matter,
for one must be careful not to sti1e
any ambition to be clean.
Frequently we furnish the mothers
in the tenements in the poorest sec
lions where there are no stationary
bath-tubs with portable bath-tubs, and
their delight in such instances is more
than worth the sum invested"

The many accidents In mines in all
parts Of the world have led an English
paper to suggest that coal miners be
regularly trained in the work Of rescue.
Just as fire companies are organized
among employees, so rescue companies,
equipped with life-saving apparatus,
might be drilled to cool and systematic
work in time of disaster. More depends
on first aid' than on all that science

However much one may need money,
one seldom likes to hold q soiled bill
In ones hands. Retail merchants in
various parts of the country have fire.

money In making change. But the sup
ply is not sufficient, and most OF them
have to give 1t up after a while. One
such merchant has taken to cleaning

We have recently passed through the
period in which the college graduates
receive the last words of advice from
their Yenerated instructors. That the
graduates are Influenced greatly by the
advice which accompanies their diplo-
mas is doubtful. They listen with APP
parent attention, but their thoughts are
usually elsewhere. But the custom Of
telling graduates what they should do
with their lives-What ideals they
should cultivate and what errors they
should shun-is SO time honored that
the most radical of educators has not
suggested that it be given up. 1t may
not be of much use, but it is impressive.
1t also gives the head Of the college or
university an opportunity to lecture
the public under the pretense Of lectur-
Ing the graduates. Naturally the adj
vice bestowed on them takes color from
the times. That which was given dur
Ing and Immediately after the Civil
War differed from that which is heard
to-day. Little was said then of the un-
aires who had amassed wealth by lille
gal and dishonorable practices were not
held up as awful examples. Nobody
was warned against commercialism.
which has been called the crying sin Of
this age. Possibly such a warning
was less needed formerly. The percent
age Of graduates who went into BUSH
ness and became exposed to severer
temptations than those which beset men
who follow the so-called liberal profess
sions was much smaller. And yet there
was a great deal Of rascality In the
good old days" which young men
might properly have advised not to
initiate. There were wildcat bankers.
for instance, who were not punished
for dishonest acts which, if committed
now, would land them in the peniten-
tiary. Practices which are regarded as
dishonest now were looked on as
smart" then. The public conscience
was not so acute as it is at present

few years from poverty to wealth.
Americans have been in the habit OF
Boosting of their country because such
opportunities abound in it. There are
SO many roads that can be followed to
get wealth legitimately that it would
not be bad idea for college presidents
to specify on successive commencement
days the roads that should not be fol
lowed and make their statements more
interesting by mentioning some of the
rich men who have got rich by travel
Ing them. General remarks about dis
honest methods in high finance and
the industrial world are most telling
when they are spiced with personalities
when the speaker names the financiel
or the captain Of industry who has
made the least enviable record during
the year. The graduates of 1905 were
told that they must not pattern after
the money spinners who hasten to be
rich and forget to be honest. They
would have been more impressed by
the advice If the names Of the worst
money spinners had been mentioned.

Supplies for the Douglas.

A carload of lumber arrived at
Wabuska last week for the Doug
las mine, and was hauled to the
camp this week. This lumber
will be used for enlarging the
buildings and bunk houses at the
mine, as quite few more men are
to be put on, and the present ac-
commodations are not adequate.
A carload of coal is also at the de-
pot for this company, and car
load of mine supplies is on the
road from Salt Lake. At the
present time about twenty-five
men are in the employ of the COM
pany, and it is expected that soon
there will be double that number,
as some extensive development
work will be blocked out by the
company's engineers.

camp about the first OF this month
and shipped to San Francisco two
fine bars of bullion. The bars ag-

valued at about s., 800. This was
from a thirty-day run in five
stamp mill, and is the best show
ing that has been made from the
property for some time past. 1t is
believed that regular monthly
shipments will be made from now
on that will much more than pay

employed by the company, and
the mill is being run steadily "a

ment work being done. In fact it
