+. CURIOUS MEALS.
Elephants Are Gormandizsrs, and 0i.
RATES. Have Queer Tastes.

Elephants, at least captive elephants.
have queer tastes, says Parsons
Weekly in an entertaining article
about the peculiarities Of four legged
gourmets. One memorable day in 1908
Suffa Guilt, the mighty and popular
Indian elephant at the ZOO, ate his
bed. A thirty six pound truss OF straw
had been put down OH the floor for
his comfort, and when the keeper went
round in the morning not even the
bands Of the truss remained. Z
Sunfa Guilt followed 1t up during the
day by eating three trusscs Of hay,
weighing 100 pounds. Finally some
one brought number Of Christmas
buildings into the elephant house. Suf-
ia Guilt swallowed his pudding with
out even opening the cardbod1l box
that contained 1t.
A zoo keeper once kept tally Of the
number of hot cross buns an elephant
took down. For six hours on end one
fine Good Friday it swallowed buns at
the rate of 400 an hour!
The average giraffe loves nothing
better in tho world than good square
meal Of flowers. 1t has not the slight
est idea, however. Of the difference be-
tween artificial and real flowers.
Some years ago when garden hats"
were all the rage the giraffe at the 200
made day of 1t. In that glorious
twelve hours it accounted for no few
err than seventeen hats, the majority
Of which were chewed beyond recog-
milton before they could be rescued.
One of the funniest mistakes gi-
raffe ever made-funny for lookers-on,
that Is to say-was when q peacock
strolled into its paddock. The pea
cocks. tail caught the CRATES eye. and
evidently the animal m'stook 1t for a
gigantic and luzuriant species OF flow
er. At any rate. before any one could
interfere down came the CRATES. long
neck, and, Selling the peacock by the
tail, he hoisted it in midair. 1t was
not long before bird and tail said good
by to each other. and the peacock flut-
tered away, screaming with indigna-
ton. Although trifle astonished at
the proceedings Of the newly discov-
cred flower. the giraffe ciewed the tail
with great gustO.

JAPANESE GARDENS.
Their Aim 10 Always to Represent Ma
ture In Miniature.

turs In Miniature.
Every Japanese house Of any preten-
sions must have garden. The cost
of one is invariably reckoned with the
estimates for house building, being
usually estimated at one-tenth the cost
Of the house. The Japan Magazine
tells Of the procedure:
When the niwashi Landscape gar
dener) gets the; contract for garden
he first makes a model-that is. a min
iature garden embodying every feature
that the final product win have. The
first thing to be done in laying out the
garden is to select the place for the
lake or pond and excavate 1t. The
earth thus obtained Is utilized for the
construction of: an artificial hill and
also for small island, both Of these
features being considered necessities.
Next in Importance Is the placing Of
the stone lantern: then comes an arts
tic bridge to the island. Next comes
the placing Of trees, rocks and stones
with due consideration for the appear.
ance Of the. garden rs . whole. .t
japanese do not place much value
on a new garden. age being Of far
greater Importance. 1t is not until a
few years have passed that the garden
is considered at its best, for the stones
and tree trunks must be moss covered
and the whole must give the appear
ance of natures rather than mans
work.
The garden is not laid out according
to any scientific plan. 1t Is rather a
matter OF instinct and experience, the
aim Of the artist being to represent
nature in miniature.

We talk of a smile Of defiance. There
10 really no such thing. Such a SO call
ed smile is nothing more nor less than
a snarl, survival Of the way our saw
age ancestors had Of showing their
teeth in order to strike fear into the
hearts Of their enemies. The real smile
Of pleasure begins with slightly OPEN
ing the mouth, and is, Of course. trace
able to the joy Of those same savage

AS has been shown no age or con-
dition of life is beyond the touch OF
human influence. No reach of
mighty intellect, no position of
worldly power may resist its per-
suasive reasoning. You must re-
spond either to the claims of duty
and higher ideals, or else yield to
the wooing call of carDal pleasure
and selfish qualification. There is
that indefnable something in the
active living forces of human life
that INTERESTINGLY appeals to every
one in language of convincing argu-

and noble living, or enticingly bids
us come to the banquet board of
delight and reyel in the charm oil

There is possessed in every life an

New Bank for High Point.

| high Point is to have a new bank
10 De run On the Morris plan which
consists in making small loans to
people in moderate circumstances at
3 per cent. interest Salisbury
Asheville and Spencer have such
hanks and High Point will make the
fourth institution of the kind in the
state. The capital stock will be
$40, 600. @. E. Mendenhall will be
secretary, and Robert Morrow, treas
urer.
The Morris plan is as simple as
can be. There are no deposits and
therefore no liabilities. ANY amount
is loaned on good security at the
rate of 6 per cent. interest. Two
per cent. of the amount of the loan
is paid back each week.
A $50 loan, for example, is made
as follows:
A borrower calls at the office of
the company and files an applica-
tion for a loan of $50, and offers
the names of two persons who he
has learned will sign his note with
him as co-makers.
The standing and responsibility of
the applicant and co.makers is then
investigated. and if the discount
committee passes favorably on the
application the applicant is advised
that the loan will be granted.
The applicant, together with his
CO. makers then sign a note provided
by the company. payable in one year
after date in sum equal TO the
of the loan required. Six
per cent. interest on this amount is
collected or deducted in advance
by the company for the period for
which the loan is made. The bor-
rover also pays a fee of ST 90 for
the investigation of his collateral
security. The borrower then sub
scribes to a Glass c. certificate,
which is an installDent certificate.
for $50. When the note is executed,
this certificate is assigned to the
company and becomes a security |
for the note and a protection to the

The borrower pays ST per week
for fifty weeks on this certificate.
At the end of fifty weeks his pay
