Misehievous Little Elephant.

The story OF an incident that han
pened in q large lumber yard IN
Burma suggests the conclusion thar
baby elephants are as much care as
human babies to their mother. Il Is
told in Our Dumb Animals.
The adult elephants were faithfully
I work, and one in particular. a mo-
Their, was hauling huge tree trunks
from the bank OF the river. Her or
spring did not realize that she had
a heavy load. Bent on playing a
prank, he wound his little trunk
round one Of the chain traces and
pulled back with all his strength.
Aware that the weight had in
creased, the mother stopped and looh-
ed round. She saw the youngster
and shook her head solemnly; then,
paying no further heed to his teasing,
she bent again to her work. Mean
while the little rascal with his mis-
chievous trunk had loosened the ring
hat fastened the traces to the load.
While the mother was straining to-
set her burden in motion again, her
raseally SON pulled so sturdily that
she was quite unaware that she had
been disconnected from her load.
Then, suddenly, the youngster let 60.
The mother was thrown to her knees
and her driver was hurled from her
back. y
The culprit ran to huge woodpilc
that seemed to offer him at least a
temporary protection, but his mother
was at his heels. Round and round
the wood pile he lodged; but his mo-
Their, with her iron harness Changing
noisily, kept close behind him.
Although by his greater agility tho
little one gained at the corners, his
mother eventually overlook him. The
first blow OF her trunk elected n bawl
OF pain; the second brought him,
quite humbled, to his knees; then he
endured without murmur, although
with many tears, q sound thrashina.
Finally his mother let him I'D, and
with tears still streaming and with
dropping trunk he took his dis-
consulate way out OF the yard.
The little fellow had won the COM
plete sympathy, OF the observers, who
were pleased to witness during tho
noon hour touching reconciliation.
The mother did all she could to COM
fort the penitent little sinner: she
caressed him with her trunk, cud-
died him up against her, and looked
at him as IL to say, "You still have y
mother who loves YOU"

History Of q Star.

The history Of a star begins with
dust and ends with dust. 1t takes its
form out Of chaotic nebulae, passes
through period Of life. grows cool,
then dark and dead, and ultimately
dashes Into another dark cloud Of
star dust, and Is thus turned back into
nebula.
We on earth live our lives in such Q
short moment that evolution among
the stars Is not at once apparent. II
would require . great many centuries
to actually see a blue sun become
white, then yellow, then finally red.
While It is not possible to watch any
one star living its life, yet by noting
the characteristics Of q great many,

dence may be found, which includes

Malaria Germs in Winter.

Malaria has a typical seasonal oe.
currence, with little or no appearance
during the winter months. Whether
the germ Of this disease passes tho
winter in the bodies Of human beings
or Of mosquitoes, or both, has been the
subject Of much discussion.
A recent public health bulletin by
M. B. Mitzmain, reports extensive in
vestigations carried out in Mississippi
from February to June, when a search
FOR anonpheles mosquitoes disclosed
no eggs, larvae or papae, and led to
he conclusion that only the female
Insects hibernate.
More than 1000 insects were dis
sected and examined and we're found
not to harbor malarial parasites.
whereas out Of 1884 human beings
examined 492 were found to be car
riers Of these germs. Hence tho
opinion Of most previous students Of
he subjects was confirmed, viz, that
man and not the mosquito Is respon-
sible for perpetuating malaria from
season to season. Thus a simple
method OF Kidding mosquitoes OF me-
aria, suggests itself - exterminato
mankind, and malaria will vanish
from the earth.

ORIGIN OF COUNTRY FAIR
y" Istao'ishment Can BE Clearly
Traced to an Ancient Religious
Custom.

The country fair owes its origin to
an ancient religious custom. In early
days, when Engiismen observed saints
days, a crowd Of worshipers and Dill
grims would assemble within the pre-
eincts Of the church or abbey during
the festival Of a popular saint. To
supply the wants of the throng. tents
were pitched. and stalls for provisions
set up In the churchyard. Peddlers
and traders found many customers
among the worshipers, and In course
Of time these pious assemblies became
marts Of trade, and were known as
sfairs."
Many odd customs associated with
fairs illustrate the social life OF other
days. The opening Of fairs in many
towns was announced by hoisting a
large glove In a conspicuous place. In
the event Of law forbidding the hold
Ing OF fair without royal permission,
the king would send his glove to the
town as a token Of his consent.
In Liverpool, q hand was exhibited
In front Of the town hall ten DAYS be-
fore and after each fair day, to signify
that no person coming to or going
from the fair might be arrested for
debt within the towns precincts.
At Paignton fair. Exeter, an I'M
mense plum pudding was drawn
through the town by four yoke Of oxen
and afterward distributed for the
crowd. Its ingredients were: 400
pounds OF -four, ITO pounds Of beef
suet, 40 pounds of raislns and 24O
eggs. 1t was boiled In q brewers cop
Ser for three days and nights.
