Y EXPENSIVE BATH.

AN EAFENSlVE BATH.
One hears good deal nowadays
about the luxurious and scented baths
which fashionable women consider
necessary to give their dogs, but an
animal that requires more costly
bath than the smartest of smart lap
dogs is the elephant.
The elephants bath takes week
to carry out in every detail, 1t requires
the services of three men, and 1t
costs $500. This treatment is neces.
sary for circus elephant, and If the
animal is a valuable one, the propri.
etor of the circus does not consider
the money wasted.
The first process consists in going
over the immense body with the best
soap procurable; $50 pounds of soap
are used, and the elephants ears are
especially carefully attended to: When
the soaping and drying are complet-
ed the elephant is well sandpapered,
and after that rubbed all over with
the purest Indian oil until the mouse
gray skin is supple and glistening
This last finishing touch is the most
expensive part of the whole bath as
$3.50 has to be spent on the oil
alone.-American Cultivator,
