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 couvalesceuta from wasting disease.
