ABOUT'ELEPHANTS.
How the Monsters Were Employed in
War- First Appearance in Europe.
sl um the Ciucrntiuti Enquirer.
In the year IGBI an elephant was on exhi
bition in a booth in the eitv of Dublin, and
the booth taking fire, the poor beast, being
overcome with terror, could not be induced
to endeavor to escape, and so was destroyed
in the flames. A chronicler of that time
says: “ uid when the Are wus extinguished
everyone endeavored to procure some part
of the elephant, few of them having seen
him living, by the reason of the great rates
put upon the "sight of him.”
In an interesting volume entitled “The
Menagerie,” published some veal’s since in
London, this instance is quoted by way of
contrast with the general familiar knowl
edge of the elephant in later times.
The ancients were well acquainted
with the elephant, which formed a part of
the fighting material of every great con
queror’s army, and shared in all triumphal
processions, but when Rome no longer sent
out her armies to forage the whole world
for wonders as well as for plunder, the ele
phant became to Southern Europe a
jcal marvel only.
After the time of the early Byzantine
monarchs there is no mention o'f the “huge
earth-shaking beast,” as Pliny called it, in
European history, until the year 808, when
“the good Haroun A1 Raschid,” caliph of
the Saracens, sent an elephant to Charle
magne.
In 1256 Louis IX. of France brought
from Egypt an African elephant, which he
sent to Henry 111. of England. This ele
phant was kept in the Tower of London,
where, we judge, lie had quite comfortable
quarter*, if the order given by the king to
the sheriff was obeyed, to-wit: “We com
mand you that of the forum of our city ye
cause, without delay, to be built at our
Tower of London, one house 40 feet long
and 20 feet deep for our elephant.” AVhat
became of this well-provided beast, and how
long he lived, the historian does not tell us.
Early in the sixteenth century King
Emanuel of Portugal sent an elephant to
Pope Leo X. This animal having, no
doubt, been well tutored before haud, im
mediately on appearing in the presence of
his holiness, sank upon his knees, an action
which greatly impressed the Pope and his
retainers.
In 1029 the King of Spain sent an elephant
and five camels to King James I. of En
gland. This latter monarch was extrava
gantly fond of pet animals, and had quite a
menagerie at his palace, so that it may be
imagined that he was particularly well
pleased with this gift. Much better pleased,
indeed, than the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer was, for the English Treasury was
at that time sadly depleted. To pay the
£l5O whicn the king ordered given to the
man who had brought the elephant took
awav every penny in the Treasury, and
made it necessary to refuse to allow the
queen money for a journey which she wished
ix< make to Scotland that year. And when
au estimate was made of the cost of
keeping the animal, it-was found to be £275
a year, an lit was no wonder that Mr.
Chancellor’s groans were both loud and
deep. And to make the matter worse, an
additional charge was made for “liquors
for the olifawnte.” His keepers affirm that
from the month of September until April
he must drink not water, but “wyne,” and
from April until September he must have
“a gallon of wyne a daye.”
A curious proof that mediaeval Europe
had few opportunities for observing the
elephant is shown in the general opinion
that this animal had no joints in his legs,
and therefore could not lie down, but slept
standing.
In one of the very earliest volumes of
natural history printed in the English
tongue, in the latter part of the sixteenth
century, allusion is made to the “olifawnte
that bendeth not the kuee ,” and in a work
fiublished nearly a century later, it is grave
v stated that the elephant usually sleeps
leaning against a tree, and that the usual
method of capturing him was to watch
what tree he selected for the purpose, and
to saw it so that it might
break and cause the animal to fall, when he
would become an easy prey, as he could not
rise again.
An old play, published in 1683, describes
a woman as “stubborn as an elephant’s leg
—no bending in her.” And that Shake
speare shared in the general delusion is
shown by the lines in “Troilus and Cres
sida:”
An elephant hath joints, but not for courtesie,
His legs are for necessity, not flexure.
From the time when man arid the ele
phant “were first acquaint,” the sagacity of
the great four-footed animal has brought
out all the training instinct of the biped.
Wonderful stories are told by ancient
writers of the feats of trained elephants.
Pliny says that they would haul javelins,
fight with each other as gladiators and dance
the Pyrrhic dances. Further, that they
would walk forward and backward, and
even dance on a rope. This latter feat,
though atte-ted by such writers as Pliny,
Suetonius, Dion and Aliau, has never been
credited by modern showmeu.
The military history of the elephant be
gins with the invasion of India by Alex
ander the Great, who found them brought
Sjainst him by Porus. At the battle of
ydaspes they unquestionably caused Porus’
defeat, for the Grecian infantry, getting
between them apd cutting their feet, caused
them to turn upon their own linos and crush
many in their effort to retreat.
Elephants were first brought to Greece
for military use by Antipates, and to Italy
bv Pyrrhus. Hannibal made perhaps more
effective use of them than any other Gen
eral. having eighty at the battle of Zaura.
In these instances they were always made
effective against cavalry, for horses were
afraid to stand against them, but they were
of no value against disciplined infantry.
The last instance of the use of military
elephants in western Europe was at the
battle of Thapsus, where Julius Ca?sar over
threw the army of the republic and its
African auxiliaries. I hey were used in ware
in India as late as 1779. The Emperor’ of
Delhi once mounted light guns on the backs
of elephants, but the animals moved so
slowly, and the difficulty of getting the
arms in proper range was so great that this
form of artillery mounting was given up as
a failure.
A number of elephants in modern me
nageries have gained much fame by their
sagacity and teachableness. One which be
came very well known in England during
the early part of this century was a female
elephant named Lutchme. This animal
not only went through a long list of tricks
such as are usually performed by trained
elephants, but also learned to take part in
a melodrama, in which she assisted in the
escape of a captive prince and his followers
from prison, by making an inclined plane
of herself and allowing them to slide from a
second-story window to the ground on her
back. At first the lights and music of the
theatre seemed to alarm her very much, but
in a very short time she became accustomed
to these, and took part in the scenes of the
play with as much apparent interest as the
tinman performers.
Two remarkable historic elephants lived
many years at the Jardin des Plantes, Parts.
These elephants were brought from a Hol
land museum when quite young, and they
were respectively known as Castor and Pol
lux. Their quarters were very comfortable
in Paris, for not only had they spacious
cells, with the range at stated intervals of a
large park, but they also had a large pond
to bathe in. These elephants served dili
gently toward earning their living, for they
had a howdah erected on their backs, and
would take the visitors, especially children,
around the park for a stated fee. These
elephants were killed during the Commune
war and their flesh used for food.
An elephant, well-known to the mena
gerie-goers of this country was Hannibal,
which we might call a large elephant had
we never seen Jumbo. His sagacity made
him a most valuable animal, and be was
one of the most successfully trained ele
phants ever known. He ami the elephants
trained with him were the first to mark a
new departure in elephant training, and the
mere trivial performances, such as ringing
a bell with the trunk, picking up letters, or
keeping step to the national hymn gave
: way to the more difficult gymnastics of ttie
1 circus l ing. These required not merely
memory, but long-contimied muscular prac
i tice So anxious are these wise beasts to
\ acquire all that they are bidden to learn
; that when left alone they will often spend
J hours going through the list of movements
I and evolutions that their master had pre
, viously made them perform.
ENGLISH HIGH LIFE.
Americans Who Get into the Prince of
Wales’ Set Not Esteemed.
From the Sun Fiancisco Argonaut.
The Prince of Wales, for his own amuse
ment, lets people in whom the better mem
bers will not recognize. But they only stay
in so long as the Prince smiles. Their ad
mission is really but a temporary one and
dependent solely upon the caprice of the
Prince, whose smile admits them, but whose
frown will as quickly expel. For people —
and especially foreigners—to imagine, there
fore, that because the Prince of Wales takes
notice of them, and for his own amusement
gets friends with whom he has influence to
invite them to their entertainments, they
have achieved the entree into English high
life—except in a very narrow and epheme
ral fashion—is one of the biggest mistakes
which people can make. I know quite well
I shall be gainsaid in this. Americans who
have come over to London during the season
and gone to some bails and garden parties
under tile Prince of Wales’ wing and pat
ronage, and have been invited to Marlbor
ough House are, lam quite aware, imbued
with the delusion that they have seen and
know all about English high life. They have
and they have not. They have caught a
glimmer of it under tho peculiar circum
stances of being noticed by the Prince of
Wales, who has given them a five minutes’
view, as it were, of the sphere of high life
in which he is the unquestioned leader. In
the short space in which they have the op
portunity to take and make observations,
they naturally get but a cramped idea of
what actual English high life is as it is in
and among the Prince of Wales’set. Be
yond that, they positively can know noth
ing.
There is an immense part of the society
which makes high life which has virtually
nothing to do with tho Prince of W ales.
Of course, they couldn’t and wouldn’t re
fuse to recognize his royal highness and
yield him his true position whenever he
might choose to appear among them. But
it would be more as the heir apparent to the
throne, and technical “first gentleman of
the kingdom,” than as a proper exponent
and sample of their customs and manners,
that they would yield him homage and
place. It is extremely doubtful, too, if His
royal highness could "bring the “outsiders”
in among them that lie does among his own
particular happy-go-lucky clique. It is ex
tremely doubtful if he would try. He knows
better. He is a man of wondrous tact and
discrimination, and he would know as well
as any one—better, indeed—that the real
aristocracy, the real high life of England in
its entirety and purity, wouldn’t put up with
it. He can go among them himself and take
whoever could of right go of themselves
with him. But further than that. I tase it,
he wouldn’t go. In fact, he exhibits a dual
character. In his set he is one thing—in
high life quite another. A jolly good fel
low, fond of a good joke, a good story ac
tresses, professional beauties and pretty
women generally, in his set, he becomes in
high life, whenever he secs fit to enter it, a
serious, dignified man, a polished gentleman,
ungiven to frivolity and a great stickler for
the observance of everything that of right
is due to him as a Prince. In short, in nis
set he is “Wales” and “Tummy;” in high
life the kingdom’s future King. In order to
understand him one must judge him in both
capacities.
In view of this, it becomes a serious ques
tion whether his Dotice of Americans and
introduction of them into his set (as long as
they please him), is after all such a very
high honor as some people are accustomed
to regard it, or one in the least desirable for
any foreigner to be made the recipient of.
For my own part I doubt it. People get
their names into the newspapers, like Miss
Chamberlain and Miss Wins ow, and the
outside world, both at home and abroad,
fancy they have taken English society by
storm. I don’t think lam wrong in ven
turing to say that there are hundreds of
English young ladies in high life who could,
without a quarter the effort, have gained
double the public notoriety for beauty and
piquance, and vivacity and originality than
either Miss Chamberlain or Miss Winslow
did were their mothers to lat t hem; or were
it all in keeping or accord with the tradi
tions of their class to exhibit such “bad
form” as to have their names to become the
public property which the parents of those
young ladies seemed to see no objection in
allowing their daughters to yield. I don’t
in the least mean to insinuate that the graces
.and charms of the American girls who come
to England andcapture the Princeof Wales
are not all that they are claimed to be, and
peculiarly capable of captivating the head
and heart of man wherever they may go.
I only say that in my humble opinion the
women of no nation hold an exclusive sway
in this respect; and, without in the very
smallest way wishing or intending to de
tract from all that is lovely in the American
girl, as she has of late years appeared in
London society, to assert that had English
girls of the highest sphere and rank been
permitted the same unlimited field of ope
ration, the same unchecked freedom of self
assertion, there wouldn’t have been the
victorious “walkover” for the transatlantic
damsels which their friends and admirers
are so fond of boasting of on every occa
sion. They had, in short, a race without a
competitor, a battle without an adversary.
In the first place, their adversaries, had
there been any, would not l\ve been allowed
the same weapons; and in trie econd, their
competitors, had there been any, wouldn’t
have been permitted to struggle for such a
reward.
I hope and trust I shall not be misunder- |
stood as in the slightest degree implying that
Americans are not received into the highest |
society in England, for they are. But it is
not only because they are Americans they
are so received. They must be nice Ameri
cans in the fullest sense of the word, and
there are thousands of such. It will not be,
and it is not, because they are beauties, of
loud, self-asserting voices and mannerisms,
of cool self-possession, knowing looks, openly
coquetting wavs anil possessed of two dozen
costumes made by Worth. Such get into
the Prince’s set, are flamed here and there
and in every peiiny-a-line society newspaper
in the kingdom, and cabled back to the
United States press by ignorant correspond
ents and sensational society gossip-gatherers
as “the success of the London season;” while
the more modest, retiring, well-bred girls
of some position in their own homes an 4
possessed of graces and accomplishments to
fit them to shine in any society mako friends
among the real high life of England, and
no one outside of their immediate circle
knows anything about it You don’t see
their names in the papers; you don’t hear
them talked about in every theatre and club
and hotel in London, because the people who
talk about gir sand ladies in theatres and
hotels in London know nothing about them.
There are no people who so immediately win
the respect and regard of high-class English
people as nice, well-bred, thorough un-an
glomaniacal American ladies and gentle
men.
Waste of Tissue Without Repair.
Vigor begins to decline when dyspepsia in
vades the stomach. The disease, prolonged
through neglect, entails grievous loss of flesh
and serious waste of the muscular tissue. To
invigorate thoroughly and speedily, a sound
stomachic Is required. There is none com para
ble to liostetter s Stomach Bitters, since It in
stitutes, and, if continued, perpetuates a repair
of the tissues, which have declined in bulk,
vigor and elasticity in consequence of uou
assimilation of the food. No time should be
lost in I leginning the reparative process, nor
should there be any delay in removing those
ailments of frequent occurrence, which con
tribute to and foster an enfeebled condition of
the stomach and nerve*, viz.: constipation and
liver complaint, disorders which the Bitters will
assuredly extinguish. It also remedies and pre
vents malarial aud kidney troubles, and is a
prime auxiliary in the recovery of strength for
