off. He ran up light fence, six miles in
circumference, inciosing valley and part OF
two hills below Setgarh.
Around this he posted at intervals eight or
nine hundred men, mostly armed with match
locks and provided with blank cartridges Into
elephants through fifteen miles of glen and
there they were surrounded by watch fires and
sentries constantly on duty. The wild ele-
plants wandered about unmolested within the
large inclosure, but were not allowed to pass
the guards.
| The maharajah told us. says a traveller, who
was a guest of the Indian prince, that one
stockade, and was there tied up and ready
to be taken out.
We seated ourselves on the top of the
stockade and saw the huge ttlsker. His fore
quarters were much heavier than in the tame
elephant; and his figure was so massive that
we did not think he was so tall as we after
ward found him to be, namely, nine feet ten
inches.
They tied five cables round his neck, fas-
tening the other end of each cable round the
body of one tame elephant. There were thus
five elephants in front. Similarly they fas-
tened each hind leg to two elephants. The
hind legs were also tied together by short
rope.
Having thus securely bound him, they pre-
pared to lead this forest freebooter away.
When he found that he was not to be al
show fight. He halted. The five elephants
in front put forth all their. strength, but
could not move him. Suddenly he swung his
great body round and dragged back all five,
trumpeting as they came, with rage, and per-
haps fear.
Then they recovered, and. the tug-of.war
began again. "A sharp discharge of blank

cartridge behind him drove him on little
way.
This scene was repeated several times. Oc-
casionally the blank cartridge had to give
way to a specially prepared cartridge with
about a dozen snipe-shot, which acted as an
unaccustomed spur in his fat fanks and sent
him gaily along for a time. At last he was
tide up to trees near the maharajah's tents,
about five hundred yards from the stock
ade.
| Next day, as there was nothing doing at
the stockade, we determined to have look
at the elephants in their jungle haunts. We
went on along the, elephants tracks for a
considerable distance. Suddenly we came to
a glade, and, as we looked across it, we saw
the tusks of a great monarch of the herd
cleaning through the trees.
We were on our elephant. and as we saw
the direction the herd seemed to be taking,
we pushed across the glade to cut them off
and get a nearer view. As we got to the
centre of the glade, where stood large, sol
tary tree, we saw the monarch come out and
have look at us. We halted in the shadow
of tree. He came along toward US, followed
by fifteen elephants of all sizes.
AS he got near us he turned round and
slowly crossed the glade to the other side,
followed by the herd. Then, as they were
about to disappear in the jungle, he sudden
ly changed his mind again: He turned, and
slowly and solemnly marched past us with
the herd.

procession, witnessed among the wild scenery

INCRATITUDE
"a sANSKRIT FABLE.)

A holy hermit rescued once a mouse
A savage bird had seized upon for prey,
And kept the little rodent in his house,
And fed it from his table day by day.
Soon seeing how cat the mouse distressed,
And moved in pity for his pet thereat,
The saint, with power of miracles possessed,
Transformed his protege into a cat.
But now the mouse, or rather cat instead,
OF every cur was quite as much AFRAID,
Whereon the saint, to end the feline's dread,
Wrought new charm, and puss dog was
made.
Again his charge is filed with deep alarm;
The beasts of prey that roam the forest
through
Will surely some time do it cruel harm;
A further change-the dog tiger grew.
Now hear the sequel, yea, and heed it we'll

any one of the players request it, it may be

it out Of sight. He also takes charge of
the 'Booby cards"
The word cards. are now carefully shuf-
fled and dealt out, four to each player. The
remainder of the pack is then laid in the
centre Of the table, around which the players
are seated.
The one on the right of the dealer calls for
a word from any one of the players. He
must confne himself, however, to a word
found in those quotations of which he has
already at least one word in his mind. For
instance, if he holds che" he may call for
any one of the words in either of the SEN
tences containing that word. If he fails in
getting the card asked for, the next player
proceeds to call.
If he succeeds, he continues to call until
he fails; he then draws card from the pack,
and if the draw is successful, he calls again
until he fails. He is not, however, entitled
to the second draw, but must give place to the
next player.
If any player forgets the quotations, he may

They dashed toward one wing. then across
to the other, again and again. Two tame
elephants near the stockade gate then ran in,
but apparently the wild elephants had not
seen them. They did not follow. The wild
elephants apparently thought it was an at
tack in front. They faced about and made a
dashing charge through their pursuers and

RULES
1. A player in calling for words must speak
the name of the person from whom he is call
ing. IN
2 No player must call out of his turn.
3. A player can only ask for the "key"
when it is his turn to call; he then forfeits
his turn.
4. A player having taken the "key," may
retain it for study until it is his turn to
call again.
5. No player may call for the 'ekey" when
it is not in the care of the dealer.
9. A player who holds the key is not
allowed to share it with another player.
z. When player makes up "book," he

authors name, as he lays it down.
8. If player breaks one of these rules
and the dealer does not discover the infringe
ment, he must take the "Booby card" him
self instead Of the, derelict player; provided
any one of the other players discovers the
oversight and calls out "Booby" before the
dealer has handed the card to the first Of
fender.
A SUGGESTION
II the players are young, and it is desired
to make the game very simple, any number
of the quotations may be laid aside, and the
game be played with the remainder

Low Speed Loses Butter Fat
A test was made OF running milk
through the separator at about three
fourths OF the listed speed at the Kan
sas experiment station. 1t appeared
from the result OF this test that the
amount OF butter fat left In the skim
milk Is materially Increased by lower
Ing the speed OF the separator. There
is considerably more loss than where
separators are run at their listed speed.
Temperature For Cream.
The temperature at which cream
should be churned cannot be stated
with accuracy because much depends
upon the cream itself Cream from the
milk OF different cows cannot always
be churned at the same temperature.
Different feeds have something to do
with It, The period OF location must
be considered. The proper temperature
will be all the way from so to IS or SO
degrees, but the lowest temperature at
which the cream will churn Is best, for
II will make better butter than higher
Cleanliness, Always Cleanliness.
A poorly washed strainer. milk pans
or any utensil used about milk affects
the flavor Of butter. Cleanliness Is the
most important adjunct to the dairy
business. When everything Is kept
clean. there is little complaint Of bac-
terra or trouble of any other kind.
What Makes Good Butter.
Good butter is not the result of any
one particular point Of superior excel
lence, but combination of all the de-
tails. In methods OF management con-
ditions vary so much that no one set
Of rules will be applicable In all cases.
IL is very important to do what Is nee.
tssary to be done at the right time
snd In the right manner.
