Satisfactory EXCLAMATION.

He recently returned from a hunt
ing trip with a fine rabbit which he
said he had hagged.
1t is TO be recalled that he won q
running match last summer. This was
when he inadvertently stepped upon
the stomach of a gentleman who had
buried himself in the sand for a sun
bath, and the man pursued him with
evident intention to violate the law
against creating a disturbance.
His friends, to whom he exhibited
the rabbit with some pride, comment
ed on the circumstance that it showed
10 marks of shot. Their suspicion that
it was caught with ferret was re-
moved by the explanation:
II ran it down." he said.

great soap manufacturers of the world
Coco butter has also come to be ar
important article of world commerce

throughout the world in the confec.
tionery business.

Elephants Not cowards.

The fear an elephant has for rat
has often been spoken of as an exam
pie of colossal cOwardice. But it is
nothing of the kind. The elephant,
when captive and in chains, has every
reason to regard with terror the little
rodent, which, in the still watches of
the night, gnaws the toenails of the
helpless pachyderm. Not much Of
this sort of thing is required to make
the huge creature lame. BY such at
tack, not long ago, three young ele-
plants belonging to Hagenback's out
fit were so badly injured that they
had to be shot.

Wonders of Science.

A camera man wOrking for the edu-
cationul department Of a film company
met an old farmer coming out of a
house in one of the Middle states, and
explained his presence on the place
thus:
Il have just been taking some NOV
ing pictures of life on your farm"
"Did you catch any of my laborers in
motion?" asked the old man curiOusly.
"Sure, l did,
The farmer shook his head re-
fectively, and then said:
Science is a wonderful thing"

of the new painted glass receptacles
are those that show simple black

take the fad for stripes into her

set of striped bottles and jars
with black stripes on the uncolored

Overrefinement,

William Dean Howells, the novelist,
vas talking about a poet
"His work is overrefned, overdeli-
ate, overnice," he said.
"In short, his work reminds me of
the young husband who said to his
bride, at the end of the honeymoon;
