AN INTELLIGENT ELEPHANT.

Edward Jesse was at one time
surveyor of the royal parks and palaces
in England, and at that time there was
a certain large and friendly elephant in
the London ZOO. in which Mr. Jesse
took considerable interest, and it was
his custom to bring with him often
some little delicacy for the elephant to
eat.
Upon one occasion, he says, while
feeding the elephant with potatoes,
which the animal took from Mr.. Jesse's
hand, one Of the potatoes, a round one,
fell on the floor just out of reach of tho
elephants trunk. The great beast
lzaned over against his wooden bar, put
out his proboscis and tried to pick the
potato up. but could not do so. He
seemed daunted for a moment, but ap-
parently made up his mind that the
potato must be his, and after several
further vain efforts he blew a tremen-
dous blast at it through his trunk. The
force of the blow sent the potato
against the opposite wall with such
force that on the rebound it came
back to him, when he picked it up and
swallowed it, blinking contentedly.

enough material to make a web, and
SO he went to work constructing one in
the angle formed by the branches of a
low weed. Some of his neighbors came
out to watch him, and their comments
on his work were rather disconcerting.
Did you ever see such an untidy
web?' commented the orb web weaver,
who made beautifully symmetrical traps
that looked just like silken wheel.

The curled thread Weavers never spin
simple strands like the other spiders,
but overlay the framework of their
webs with bands of curled or f1uffed
ones. The curled thread weavers have
combs attached to their hind legs and
are able to make some elaborate de-
signs in spider lace work.
Nothing comfortable about that"

The little emigrant felt somewhat dis
couraged. He had hoped for apprecia-
ton in the great beautiful world be-
meath the attic window, but he found it
quite as unsympathetic as the little
company in the chimney corner.
However, most of the spiders soon
had affairs of their own to take them
elsewhere, and they did not remain long

rain descended from the skies. The
raindrops made the web dance as

1t was lovely moonlight night, and
one of the first things that Master
Spider noticed was that there were a
great many more mosquitoes outdoors
than in. That there was nothing wrong
with their flavor he proved in short or
der by gobbling particularly large and
clumsy one.
To reach the garden that spread its
wealth of cool foliage and glowing flow
ers around the great rambling cid
house that contained the attic, he spun
a long, silken strand by means Of whiGh

was most exciting experience for a
spider that had always lived in an attic.
He was somewhat dazed when he
found that the plants formed quite a
wilderness, but finally he found a loca-

yond the garden in a patch of red
clover. This field appealed to him be-

Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex-

church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer

instant relief without leaving
any disagreeab1e after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach

THE WORD "cHAPERoN."

In many books and in many maga-
zines and papers you will see the ward
chaperon spelled "chaperone," when IL
is applied to a woman, the mistaken
notion being that 1t has both a mascu-
line and a feminine form. It has, how
ever, only the one form, chaperon,
which may be applied with equal pro-
priety to a man or q woman. Perhaps
the pronunciation has something to do
with the spelling, for the o is long, as If
the syllable were rome" 1t is q French
word, which we have angliciZed.
