and the approaches to bridges, the services of the elephant in an ua- opened country are of the utmost i'm portancs.
 When the roads are ts be coz structed along the face of steep de- eiivities, and the space is So con- tracted that risk is incurred, either of the working elephants falling over the precipice or of rocks slipping down from above, not only are the meas ures to which the sagscious animal re- sorts the most judicious and reasons ble that could be devised, but, if urged by it's keeper to adopt any other. if manifests reluctance sufficient to show that it has balanced in its mind the comparative advantages of each. An elephant appears on all occs- sions to comprehend the purpose and object that 1t is expected to promote. and hence the animal voluntarily exc eutes variety of details without any guidance whatever from It's keeper. Herein lies the superiority of the ele- phant oyer the horse Tn moving tim her and masses of rock it's trunk is the instrument on which the elephant mainly relies, but those that have tusks turn them to good account
 To get a weighty stone out of . hollow, the elephant will kneel down so as to apply it's head to move tho stone upward; then, steady!ng the stone with one foot till it can raise itself, it will apply fold of it's trunk to shift the stone in place and fit it accurately in position. This done, the elephant will step around to view the stone on either side and adjust it with due precision. The animal appears toI gauge its own task with it's eye. and to form judgment as to whether thet weight is proportioued to it's strength. If doubtful or it's power, it hesitates, and if urged againat is will, it roars and shows temper. 1

Housewife Discovers That 1t Aids in
 Cleaning Silver.

Tt may not be manners to discuss your hostess, said one of the guests after an elaborate luncheon, but did you ever see such silver? Mine wsE actually greasy! Ssich careIessness is disgracefuI
 Silver is hard to keep bright '- murmured the woman who hated un- kind criticism.
 Nonsense, it isn't, and if it were. that is no excuse. Think how Caro iyn's silver shone at her dinner, and she only keeps one maid. asked her how she did 1t, and she said it was by mixing her silver polish witk alcohol instead of water. You rub ii up in the usual way, but the mixture gives a much more brilliant look.
 When she takes it out of the bags. even after weeks slowed away, all she need do is to give must of the pieces rub or two with a piece of Toughed channels
 She Tinses the parts of the fiat sil. yer that go in the mouth with boiling water after using the chamois, as sometimes it gives queer taste.
 That silver last night could never De cleaned once a week, even much less given a special holiday shine. If the butler was too lazy to see that the silver was polished, at least be should have given 1t . boil in hot washing soda and water to cut the grease and make it look clean"

ELEPHANT TRAINING.
Period of Education Depends upon the
 Disposition of Animal.

In newly-captured elephants con, formity and obedience develop rapid, ly, and their training is simple For three days, or until they eat freely, which they seldom do in less time, they are allowed to remain perfectly quiet, sometimes with a tame one be
 side them to give them confidence, Where many are being tanned, each new captive is put between the stalls of half-tamed ones as soon as it takes to food. This stage being over, tanned ones are put on either side, and the head of the stable stands in front of the wild one, holding long stick

GAME OF GUESSING CAKE.
Charming Party Idea Which Is EasiIy
 Carried Out.

This is a charming party idea and easily arranged, as it does not require elaborate preparation. but brings out a lot of ingenuity on the part of the guests who are to strive to win a prize by giving the best ides Of the cake they are to represent
 Each guest must select the cake he or she decides upon, and then wear some ornament either on the shoulder or in the hair which has something about 1t that will suggest the name of a cake.
 For instance, at a party given not long since, one of the boys had toy hen fastened to his coat sleeve, near the shoulder This was intended to represent layer cake. A young girl had securely pinned to her hair a saw buck made Of light pasteboard, across which a shesf of wheat was fastened. This was for buckwheat cake. An ear of corn stood for corn cake; g hoe for the oId-fashioned southern hot bread called hoe cake; tiny nun fin a box, muffin; a pan with a miniature turner, pancake; a finely dressed doll with trailing gown, represented lady cake; a sponge tied with gay ribbons, sponge cake.
 When you put on your thinking cap you can find so many things which will represent the cakes familiar to you that it will be easy to ind one you like. The one who gets the prize Is the one who finds something that will not be guessed the moment 1t is seen, yet Is correct representation of the word that describes the kind of cake it claims to represent

DEMOCRATS IF LOWELL ARE
 WIDE AWAKE
Deserve Highest Praise for the Manner In Which Last Nights Big Affair Was Handled On Short Notice.

The Democrats of Lowell certainly
 know how to do things" No one who
 was a guest of the Lowell Democrats
 at the magnificent meeting held there Hast night would have ever guessed
 that preparations had been made on few hours notice, and been carried out under the direction of Democratic headquarters of Lowell, although tne latter was established but a day or two before.
 The hall in which the speaking was held was appropriately decorated, the
 guests were looked after by ushers, the dance went of with enjoyment that left nothing to be desired. The
 loyalty of the Lowell Democrats and
 the citizens of Lowell in general. to their own citizens, was made mani
 fest in the ovation which. they tender ed to Messrs. Owen Murphy and L. R. Bailey, the Democratic nominees for justice of the peace and constable, when these two gentlemen took their seats upon the platform.
 There was also a pleasant surprise in store for those who had not visited the Democratic headquarters in Low ell, over the Brophy building. Here two rooms. appropriately and neatly fitted up with pictures of Bryan and Mark Smith, and with tables loaded with national and local campaign literature, buttons and badges, have been secured. and the work of De mocracy in Lowell systematically di- rected therefrom. Appropriate re- treatments were served there last night to all corners.
 George Hart is in charge of tae headquarters. and can be found there night and day. The citizens of Low ell are invited to make the rooms serve their convenience and help themselves to any literature, or read the newspapers which will be kept on the file.
 The Warren District Democratic Club, instead of meeting in its usual place in the Odd Fellows hall next Monday night. will be the guests of the Lowell club. That they win be royalty entertained is assured by the model way in which last nights af- fair was taken care of by them.
