African and AsIatlo Elephants.

Many persons have, no doubt, won
dered why the African elephant,
though quite as Intelligent as the In
dian or Aslatic animal, Is less often
found with circuses and at geological
parks. The reason Is one which may
be easily explained: The African ele-
phant, it has been found, is less docile
in captivity than the Asiatic elephant ;
his surroundings seem to have more
effect upon his disposition. Then. too.
his tastes are different from those of
his cousin, the Aslatic elephant. Used
to the jungles, where he roamed at
will, crossing the forests and fording
the rivers, he is not at all content with
his enforced captivity. Although all
this is generally true Of the African
elephant. yet Jumbo" long the great
pet of Barnum and Bailey's circus, WAS
a full-grown African elephant, which
came from the widest part Of Africa.
Yet Jumbo never caused any trouble
to his attendants, and never was there
a more affectionate elephant.

Much Sun Fades Hair.

1t is bad thing to wear hat too
often. 1t Is also bad thing never to
wear a hat at all, unless the hair hap
pens to be unusually strong and oily.
1t is not a good thing to go outdoors
too much in the hot summer sun with
out head-covering. Nothing is better
than to dry the hair In the sun after
the shampoo. letting the warmth of
the suns rays reach every part Of the
scalp. But to go out under too hot a
sun by the hour will tend to bleach the
top Of the hair while the underneath
part will stay its natural color.

dared even to ask him to lend me car

up here. There's something very
queer about the affair all around, Mr..
Shane, and If anybody can explain it
you can"
All through this story the old mans
keen eyes had been watching his
friends face.
''You didn't even find out the name
Of he-the-haggard mani" he asked
"Yes, 1 did find that out-at the
very last" said Kraft. 81 asked the
elevator man. Ramon, his name is,
Royal Ramon"
"Ah" Marshall Shane's eyes
frightened. THAT accounts for 1t. 1
didn't think there was but one man In
the world who could"
do you know him, then?" inter
rupted Kraft.
NO" said Marshall Shane, "but
knew his father, Royal Ramon, Sr. He
was moderately successful painter
In England. One day, in a moment of
delirious greatness, he painted pic
ture of man filnging himself off Lon
don bridge in dense gray fog. When
he had finished it, suppose he was
foolish enough to look at 1t until it
thrilled him, for instead of selling it
he put it on exhibition in his studio.
"His friends all came to see 1t, and
they looked and looked and went away
with queer, scared faces. and before
the end of the week three of them
men who had been brave enough
through every kind of trouble-had
thrown themselves off London bridge.
"a great fuss was made about 1t and
1t ruined Ramon utterly as an artist,
and the government even went so far
as to forbid him exhibiting his picture.
But they couldn't prevent him from
looking at it himself, and one day
when all London was hidden in q
dense gray fog he stole away from his
home, leaving his wife and his little
boy, went up to London bridge and
slipped off.
Mrs. Ramon and the boy left Eng
land shortly afterward. l kept track
of them for q while-the mother died
nine or ten years ago. But lost the
boy. and now he turns up haggard
man. and a greater genius even than
his father. And don't think that
you'll ever again see your watch or
your eight hundred dollars"
"Do you really mean." demanded
Kraft. that you believe that any man
could paint picture that would put
one to sleep like an opiate?"

the police never would. If you don't

Draws by Telepathy

Sometimes have thought" says
Miss Dyke, that have looked upon
certain scenes in another age. another
place. But, do not like to talk of
tranSmigratiOn. trT
"Yet do believe in something like
continuity of life. For instance,
there is the villa d'Este,' the painting
over there with the cypress trees, a
little pond and villa in the distance.
When made that had a strong feel
ing that must put pinnacles on the
building, although thought they
would be hardly the thing. Later I
met some one who saw the picture and
discussed it with me.
81 wanted to call 1t the villa d'Este'
We got book of villas and found
that one really called by that very
name-a Fifteenth century building
had pinnacles such as had drawn.
''Reincarnation, as an explanation,
1 don't like. The word is used by SO
many takers that must reject It."
Miss Dyke is tall. striking-looking
young woman of handsome and whole
some aspect. Her findings are not the
result of incoming over weird psychic
subjects but have come naturally and
simply to her attention. She has made
pictures. the ideas of which interested
her, and later found that they had an
odd Significance. From that beginning
she perfected. by self-teaching, her
technique in water-colors, so as better
to present her subjects.

It's a Real Shame to
Treat EN- in This Way

Genoa.-The chief Of police of
this city has received a letter
signed 1.-THE Tramways Pick
pockets Association" complain
ing that the persons from whom
they abstract pocketbooks have
"the dishonest habit" Of invar-
iably declaring to the police a
much larger financial loss than
they have really suffered.
They cite specific cases where
one man claiming to have been
robbed of $500 lire only lost 80,
and another one reporting loss
of 1900 lire when his pocketbook
contained less than 200.
The letter argues that such ex-
aggerations are likely to cause
unfortunate consequences and
strained relations among the
pickpocket fraternity. as when a
member of the association turns
in a few hundred lire when the
loser claims to have lost thou
sands, the pickpocket is suspect
ed by his colleagues Of having
retained the difference.
"Alleged honest people should
be more delicate" the letter
ends.

 Where did you come from baby dear Out of everywhere into, here?'
 This is what first came to our mind as we saw the babies brought into the welfare station at the university free dlspensary, which observes every Fri day at 1880 D. m. for sick babies where Ia prominent baby doctor gives his time and skill. building these little frames into stronger dadies.
 Miss LaForge of the infant welfare department is a very busy woman, and Miss L. H. Denny the visiting nurse of St. Marys- on the Highlands, has beer given charge of the Southside. Her visits are not confined to the babies, How ever, she is so fond of babies that she is among the first callers at their honi es-thus Is constantly in touch with the ones who need more careful auto ntion-aHd this one phase of her work alone has made her services very worth while to the community.
 .-Each Friday, two members from St. Marys church become her assistants, the same two filling this office during the period of a month. When in- formed we were one of the two se- lected for this special month, there was shrinking kind of feeling that maybe somebody else might do better, but now we are glad to have had this wonderful opportunity to render a service in such a splendid human aid. It is a great pity we cannot all know what Is going on around us that Is good. Te evil We hear crowds into our thoughts, and absorbs our attention to such an extent that we fail to peep beyond, to know what a splendid work shop this world is, and how many good people there are who are giving their very lives for others. While the tiny bundles of flesh, some i'll, some weak some underfed and some overfed are being brought into the doctor, the mothers are given helpful instructions for their future care. dealing with such lessons as We learned here-the :. are told that proper habits rest with the mother; eating, sleeping, bathing, fresh air and exercise are requisites to health.
