A DRAMATIC CLIMAX.
It Didn't Come In Just the Way It
Had Been Planned.

Her Observation-Disclosures had
been an actress and practiced dra-
matte situations. The old lady had
also practiced walking home when
the company stranded. The histri-
onic talent had therefore come
down to Clara de We're in a legiti-
mate way.
Graduation day was at hand, and
he determined to take a dramatic
advantage Of the occasion. She
studied and thought and planned,
and at length she hit it. Paul Ross
more, the clerk in the music store
at $40 per week, would be there
and have a front seat, and at the
critical moment he would spring
upon the stage and
Her essay was announced at last,
and she appeared. She was a vision
in white. Never had she looked
more lovely. Never had she SEEM
ed to have more nerve-not a
halt nor a tremor as she came for
ward and faced that large and en-
thusiastic audience. In a loud,
clear voice she began. In a voice
without a sign of timidity in it she
read her essay almost to the last
line, and then she wavered, STUN
bled, lost her presence Of mind and
seemed about to faint.
The audience began to applaud
to encourage her, but it was too
late. She swayed, tottered about
and threw her Paul his cue and
was about to sink to the floor when
: man sprang upon the stage and
clasped her in his strong arms and
whispered in her ear to be brave.
It was not her Paul. He was still
sitting there like a bump on a log.
He was a one horse grocer named
Hogg. He was fifty years old and
had red whiskers and a bald head.
With a shrek of despair Miss
Clara twisted herself out of his
arms, called him an idiot and fled
behind the curtain. The dramatic
situation had been knocked into a
cooked hat, and never again-never
more on this earth-would she
speak to the young man who hadn't
got his wits and his legs united
soon enough to play the hero to her
heroine and end the graduation
exercises with red and green fire
and women fainting away all over
the hall.-Joe Kerr in St. Louis

He Went Up I'M

The teacher was giving a lesson
in subtraction. 1t had taken the
class some time to master the mys-
teries of addition, and in this rule
she found them no less dull. Driv-
en- to desperation by the stupidity
of their replies, she rashly promised
three whole pennies to the child
who gave her the smartest answer
"Of course" she explained for
the twentieth time, "you can only
subtract things of the same name.
For instance, you can't take eight
marbles from sixteen years or four
horses from seven pence"
A hand shot up at the back of the
class, and the teacher broke off to
inquire what was the matter.
"Please, miss" squeaked a small
boys voice, 'can't you take three
pennies from one purse then?"-

Giant Cranes Minuet.

Australia, the land Of oddities,
animal, vegetable and mineral, has
few more curious creatures than the
giant cranes-often five and six feet
in height, with beautiful blue gray
plumage, which T called native
companions. These huge birds mate
for life and as mates are singular
" and touchingly devoted to one
another. Among their practices
that of dancing together is the most
remarkable. To and fro and up and
down, beneath a scraggy tree near a
creek or water hole, a pair of these
curious birds may be seen in the
hour of dawn footing it gravely in a
sort of g~rotesque minuet. There is
a strange sort of angularity about
all their movements, but withal a
certain grace, bizarre and notable.
Curious stories are told of the won
derful human-like devotion one to
another which is sometimes shown
by these great cranes.-St. James
Gazette.

a trip from Silverton to Ouray years
ago a young ~easterner became ex-
ceedingly nervous. As they we're

ravine several hundred feet deep
within a couple of feet of the road,

turning to the driver, asked, "Do

proof is undoubtedly a nature fakir,
but if he selects the right varieties
among the japanese he will come much
nearer than usual to the truth. In two
rows in the college orchard of twenty
two trees each, one of Red June and
the other of Burbank, l found in a
reasonably long search not a single
specimen of black knot. And last year
their record was almost equally clean.
On trees in adjoining rows of Engel-
hart and Bradshaw, however, knots
are all too abundant, though not nearly
so bad as last season. They would
probably average half a dozen knots to
the tree this season, While last year
the same trees yielded a couple of
bushels of knots from the two rows.
While this is a little discouraging to
the mar who wants to grow the domes-
tic plums, as everybody does who
wants high quality, still it is surpris-
ing how little time is required to keep
down this disease if it is taken in time
and Systematically handled. And it is
equally surprising how badly a tree
can be affected and still be recovered
satisfactorily. a few years ago the
writer undertook to revive some old
trees which would ordinarily have
been cut down and put on the brush
heap. They were a mass of knots from
top to bottom. We selected a time
when the snow was on the ground so
that the knots could be easily gathered
up and cut out every vestige of the dis
ease, though in some cases this left a
pretty small proportion of the original
tree. In removing a knot we cut at
least six inches below it, sc as to be
sure and take out the roots of the dis
ease. That year the trees made a big
growth, often three or four feet, but a
good many new knots also came out
which were removed that autumn, the
trees also receiving two thorough
sprayings with bordeaux mixture dur
ing the summer
The following two years we did near
" all our cutting in the summer and
found it much more satisfactory in its
results than cutting during the dor
mant season. To begin with, as the
knots were removed as soon as they
appeared we saved the crop of sum-
mer spores which would otherwise have
spread the disease. Then. the knots
being young and soft, we could fire.

would at once fill in the space thus
made, so that by autumn it could

This work was done in a section
where the black knot fourishes like the
proverbial green bay tree, yet we found
it by no means a serious matter to rid
these trees of the disease and keep
them reasonably free. Three cuttings
during the summer, with an autumn
clearing up (after the leaves were off
of the knots which had escaped thus
far, combined with three applications
of bordeaux mixture, did the work.
Our sprayings were applied one be-
fore the leaves opened, one after the
blossoms fell and one about two weeks
later. Lest some may think this a pref
ty serious programme, | may say that
the summer cutting the third season
took just four and one-haIf hours for
an orchard of ninety trees.

Yawning.

Dr.. Nageli of Tromso, Norway,
says that ~yawning is one of the best
of all breathing exercises. Says the
doctor: The act Of yawning puts
into play all the breathing muscles
of the thorax and the neck, and con-
sequently it is a natural exercise,
probably instituted by Providence
for your welfare. Every good doc
tor should therefore advise his
friends to yawn largely and to make
a practice of "stretching' at every
opportunity. There's no better ex-
ercise for the throat or the chest,
and one good cape mouthed yawn is
worth a dozen breathing bouts. It
is one of the best cures for nasal and
thoracic catarrh. Therefore, gentle
reader, yawn aesthetically, if you
can. Yawn proudly, yawn boldly,
because it is good for you.

CURETTING AN ELEPHANT.
When the Big Beast Has His Hide
Combed With a Rasp.

Once in every four months every
captive elephant, to be in good
form, should have removed from
its hide the hard flesh which
grows there and the accumulation
of dirt which becomes incrusted
and looks like a part of its skin.
It is that s%uperhuous growth which,
from observation and touch, gives
the impression an elephants hide
is tough, whereas the skin natural
ly is so sensitive that the bite Of
a fly, a mosquito or any other in
sect is irritating to it.
The process of curetting an ele-
plant is tedious to the operator, for
he must devote several hours a day
to the task, having four men as as
sistants to hold the elephant by
ropes tied to its legs. The elephant
does not take kindly to the treat
ment. It is necessary that it be
done to keep the elephant in good
health by opening up the pores.
As there is danger Of the elephant
under treatment taking cold, the
operation never is done in winter.
The hide first is wetted thor
oughly with water, and an ordinary
rasp is used for removing all cal
lous growth and other hard surface
substances, the rasp being dipped
frequently in water to keep the
skin moist and soft. When the op-
Grafton is over the elephants skin
looks gray and retains this color a
long time. Often oil is rubbed into
the skin, and the dark and natural
color is obtained.
In their native state, if there is
a river near by, elephants battle
daily and after leaving the water
rub themselves against trees, which
removes the dirt and give the skin
a healthy appearance. Circus ele-
plants never are treated in that
way, and as a result they live and
die with the growth Of callous skin
and dirt upon them and always look
as if their hides we're as tough and
as hard as iron, which they are

His AIternatiue.

It is best to keep ones personal
dignity at whatever cost. A be-
fitting sense of what is due one
never comes amiss, even within
prison precincts. This truth was
appreciated by an Irishman whose
expression of it is quoted by Michael
MacDonagh in "Irish Life and
Character" The prisoner, refrac-
tory and obstinate, fatty refused to
work in the treadmill.
The man was brought before the
governor of the prison for disobe-
dience. The governor asked him
what reason he could give for not
following out his orders.
"Me go on the treadmil" ex-
claimed the prisoner, drawing him
self up to his full height of offend
ed dignity. "Never, sirl I'd rather
