An elephant s Oath,

A man sits on the elephants neck
and guides him into the water. When
the elephant gets well into the water
and makes for the land, for the ele.
plant wants to have a bit of sport all
to himself before the men take him in
hand for his MONDAY bath. He is
nearly as bad as the water buffalo
for rolling about in the water.
He begins by sucking in gallons of
water up his trunk, blowing 1t all
over his body and back, and up into
the air, and then he goes in for a
swim, blowing the water all about
him like great whale. When the
men think he has had enough fun on
his own account they order him back,
and this huge monster, who could defy
fifty men, turns and swims back at
once, like an obedient child.
Then one man mounts his neck and
scrubs his head-not with soap and
yard of flannel, but with burnt
brick. The other man sits on his
back and with another brick scrubs
his back and great tanks Then they
bring him into still shallower water,
about three or four feet deep, and
make him lie on one side, and scrub
every available part of his body with
the bricks; then they tell him to turn
over and the great beast rolls over
obediently on the other side, and
when that is done they make him
stand up, and scrub his great legs and
his pendulum tail. And, oh! how the
animal enjoys his scrubbing. He
would let them do it all day If they
would.
Then the two mount, one on the
neck and the other fair in the middle
of the little hump on his back, and let
him go out for a swim. Away and
away, and away they go; gradually
the elephant sinks deeper and deeper
into the water, till you see nothing
but the top of his great, big round
head, and he blows out water, and
trumpets from his trunk. Elephant
and men are all now having a good
time together.-Scottish American.

leapfrog After Dinner Favorts
Amusement, says VANITY Fair"

Father Vaughan's sermons to the
so much comment, have already been
mentioned in The Sun. A writer in
Vanity Fair, referring to Father
Taughans attacks on horseplay in
country houses, says the reverend gen.
tleman has not exaggerated the facts.
This writer says:
THE country house season is now in
full swing The play which Is some
times INDUCED in is in many cases
merely of rough boysh description.
Fer instance, there is a case Of the
guests at a certain house playing leap
frog in the hall after dinner. The host

the guests were we'll Known men and
women of society.
But the leapirog game is of great
refinement and eminent good taste
compared with other so-called amuse-
ments which have come TO the writ
er's only notice. The following are
two instances:
"A girl well known in a certain
hunting circle told me that she had
been staying with some people In a
certain country house. After dinner
a man came up, to her in the bill

supposed that the man was in earnest,

he actually turned at least half of the

neck amid roars of laughter by every
