your bars and workshops, in your gardens
and postoffces and counting houses, after
you have let them practice medicine and
study law, it is too late to turn back, or to
refuse them the rights Of their new posi-.

HOWE'S GREAT LONDON SHOWS.
Royal Roman hippodrome- Mammoth
Msnagerie and Museum-A Word
or Two About Elephants.

"rhere is sometimes as strong an
attachment between the elephant and
his keeper as between husband aud
wife. and should the keeper be at.
tackled by man or beast, the elephant
will pull up his stakes or break his
chain to come to the rescue. 1t is
also often true that an elephant will
form such an attachment for another
elephant that he will brook no abuse
of his favorite.
''In nearly every instance where a
keeper has been killed by his elephant
the crime was preceded by some act
of cruelty or foolhardiness on the part
of the man himself.
1.-The elephants trunk is one Of the
wonders of the world. Cuvier, the
great French naturalist, estimated
that there are 10000 muscles in this
wonderful organ. One does not won-
der at this after seeing the many
wonderful movements of the ele-
plants trunk. He can, by means of
the little finger at its tip, pick up very
small objects, perhaps not a pin or
needle, as has been sometimes stated,
but certainly objects that are quite
small. He can also use it to lift a
very heavy weight or strike a mighty
blow. 1t is through the trunk that
the sonorous aud far-reaching noise
known as trumpeting, is made"
The largest aud smallest elephants
in the world are included in the herd
carried by Howe's Great London
Shows, to exhibit here Saturday, Aug
20, afternoon and evening.
