The Loyalty Of An Elephant.

The elephant is said to be the most in
telligent OF all ANIMALS; certainly few four
footed creatures have served man so ably
and faithfully. How courageous and loyal
they can be is strikingly shown by an in
cident related by Mr.. H. Perry Robinson,
in his book, "Of Distinguished Animals. !"
A native Mahratta prince was engaged
in fierce battle with his enemies, and
the struggle ragged firiously about the
standard bearing elephant. AT the mo-
ment when it was ordered to halt, its
mahout was killed. The Mahratta forces
were borne back; but still the elephant
stood firm, and the standard continued
to fly.
Accordingly, the soldiers of the prince,
unwilling TO be cutdone in courage by an
elephant, rallied, and in turn drove the
enemy back till the tide Of battle swept
past the rooted elephant and left it, tow
ering colossal among the slain.
The fight was won, and then they
would have had the elephant move from
the battlefield; but it waited for the dead
mans voice. For three days and nights
II remained where If had been told TO re-
main, and neither bnbe nor threat would
move it. Finally, they sent to the home
village on the Nerbudda, a hundred
miles away, and fetched the mahouts
little son, round-eyed, lisping child.
Then, at last, the hero Of that victorius
day, remembering that its master had
in a brief absence, delegated his authority
TO the child, confessed its allegiance, and
with the shattered battle-hamess, clang-
ing at each stately stride, swung slowly
along the road behind the boy.

wooing The Goddess sleep.

Insomnia is almost invariably the re-
suit of some nervous tension or excite
ment that forbids mind and body to relax
in slumber. In its mild forms believeit
is largely matter ofhabit. which persons
form by lying awake and thinking aftet
they get into bed.
Too much mental exertion and too little
physical exercise will often cause sleep
lessness. A person who has tendency
10 insomnia for this reason should always
Try to get good, long, brisk walk In the
evening.
But, after all, the most common and
fundamental cause for insomnia is fear
the dread that we are not going to sleep.
II the idea occurs to you or forces itself
upon you that you are going to lie awake,
contradict the notion fatty. Assure your
self that of course you are going to sleep,
that sleep is natural and desirable aud
that you have right TO il.
When you get into bed, relax physical
ly and mentally. Get into comfortable
position and lie still, don't toss and tum-
bic about. Keep the mind quiet; don't
allow il TO 60 off on some interesting or
exciting train Of thought; simply lie quiet
and wait for sleep.
The grand remedy for sleeplessness Is
10 give up trying TO sleep. II won't hurt
you TO stay awake all night il you must;
you will be ssre 10 sleep all the better
the next night. AT any rate, you can lie
and rest. Get up II you feel like ii; get
a drink OF water, reanange your bed
clothing; make yourself as comfortable
as possible.
Now calmly and deliberately make up
your mind to wait for morning. Letyour
thoughts wander idly as they please, only
keep the idea OF rest In your mind as
much as possible. There isn't more than
one chance in hundred that you won't
fall off 10 sleep within IS minutes.

Meteors. or shooting stars, are small
solid bodies that fall through space, be-
come incandescent In the atmosphere OF
the earth, and usually disappear IN the
form OF gas or dust. II two observers
stationed several miles apart see the same
shooting star, and note the point In the
sky where II appeared, they can construct
a hypothetical triangle, the apex OF which
is the point Of appearance OF the meteor,
and thus obtain the height Of The shooting
star when II first became visible. For a
long period OF years, according TO Cos
mos, a German observer employed this
method Of estimating the height OF shoot
ing stars. From careful observation OF
no less than lO2 meteors, he found that
the mean height at which shooting stars
become visible is 81 miles. The mean
height of the point at which they dis
appear is about 50 miles. and the average
length OF their visible path IS miles.

Where The Gray Hairs Came From,

Where The Gray Hairs Came From,
The attitude of the commanding gen.
erals of the North and the South toward
each other, after the final surrender
writes Mr.. Thomas Nelson Page in his
recent book on General Lee, is one that
the world regarded with astonishment
and that Americans may forever look
back upon with pride. In illustration,
Mr.. Page offers an engaging anecdote
from Longs memoir of Lee.
It appears that on the afternoon OF the
day of the surrender at Appomattox,
Meade paid a friendly visit to Lee at his
Headquarters. In the course of the con-
versation, Lee turned to Meade, who had
been associated with him as his officer of
engineers in the "old army" and said,
pleasantly:
MEADE, years are telling on you.
Your hair is getting quite gray"
"Ah, Gsneral Lee" was Meade's
prompt reply, "that is not the work OF
years. You are responsible for my gray
hairs"

The wise man will plant PEACHES
this fall, as the epidemic OF "yellows"
and other diseases that are so fatal to
peach trees has passed and gone, and
may not appear again in 50 years. The
man that plants now will make the big
money. AS "fillers" both for apple and
peach orchards, OUNCES are ideal,
make sure crops and will live for 100
years, making a permanent, ig-paying
orchard after the peaches have gone:
Ounces are also easily and cheaply cared
for, as the trees do not grow very high
and are easily sprayed, and there is al
WAYS demand for the fruit at top prices.
Another filler is to plant small patches
of Raspberries, Blackberries, Gooseber-
ries or Currants between your trees:
They will begin to pay you the second
wear from planting, will yield a fine in
come and pay all orchard expense until
YOUR trees come into bearing.

YOU some possibilities OF the above meth.

civil war in that republic. and food
stuffs 10 the amount of $1,000 will
be shipped from Panama to Corinto
by the steamer Justin at once.
The Justin is the vessel which has
been ordered to transport $50 marines
to Corinto to be marched to Managua.
The purchase of the supplies from the
government at Panama was the quick.
est way to send relief TO the starving
Nicaraguans.
The dispatches to the state and
navy departments show that the re-
public is in a state OF anarchy and OF
utter helplessness. Nicaragua has
been unable to borrow any money
since her efforts to get It from the
United States failed. Her debts to
foreign nations are still unpaid and
are seems to have been no way OF
paying them except by a loan from
the United States.
The efforts of Captain Terhune of
the Annapolis, who is in nmand of
the military situation. are being III
rected principally to eping in
touch with his hundred me- who were
sent to Managua to proteS the lives
of Americans from anti American

rendered less safe because Of the
total cessation of work on the rail-
