A CIRCUS ELEPHANT.
“Three or four Times in my career
as a circus inan I saw one or more
elephants get loose and raise Cain,
but I never saw one turned loose
but once, and then it was to save
the show, and he did it.”
Thus said a Michigander who was
waiting for his train at the Third
street depot the other day. Os
course he was asked for the details,
and he continued:
“It was a good many years ago,
when De Haven had the ‘greatest on
earth.’ His was the first American
circus to make a South American
trip, and he made barrels of money,
He put the price of admission ut
about fifty cents in our money, and
we took dye-wood, furs, pelts, hides,
blankets and lots of other things in
place of money. 1 was at the door
once when I took in four good horses,
and again when I took in ten fat
cattle. People would come forty
or fifty miles to see the show, and if
they had no money we stood ready
Ito accept most anything else. The
I menagerie tickled them most to
death,’and the circus performance
just raised the roof. Cur per
formers were looked up to as some
thing more than mortal, and the girl
who rode bareback and jumped
through hoops could have had her
pick of millionaires for a husband.
! “We had four elephants, one of
them a very big fellow who now and
1 then had ugly and dangerous piowfls,
He didn’t take to the people at all,
and on their part they evinced the
greatest fear of the elephants. I
don’t suppose one person in a thou
sand had ever seen one before.
I When we got to Lima, in Peru, old
Ajax, as we called him, had a fit of
I the sulks. I was superintendent of
the menagerie and when we came
| to make ready for our street parade
• it was reported to me that Ajax re
i fused to go out. I found him stand
i ing very quiet, which you may set
down as a dangerous sign in any
I elephant. His trunk hung almost
I motionless, his eyes were half closed,
' and now and then his tail switched
:in a vicious way. There were plenty
j of signs that he was ‘off,’ and I gave
: orders that he should remain be
hind. He was chained by a fore ami
a hind leg to stakes driven in the
ground, and his driver remained
With him, keeping his weather eye
! wide apeq,
“J expect that Ajax was further
; stirred Up by bejng left out of the
j parade, for ne was a proud old chap,
and wanted to head the procession
! bn all occasions. When we returned
he showed his temper by knocking
over a horse, which came within
reach of his trunk, and for a quarter
of an hour he kept trumpeting and
; Straining at his Jionds. We Jet hjna
alone and by and by he
; pown.
I “We got in from the parade about
uooii. Everybody had had dinner
and we were getting ready for the
I two o'clock performance, when one
j of the canvas-men got into a row
| with a native on the outside. We
j never could find out just how it
started, but the native drove a knife
into our man, and was promptly
shot by another canvas-man, and
then the row began. Our men were
driven into the tent, and though the
police came up and tried to quiet
things they grew worse. A mob
began to gptbPF from every direc
tion, and |n less than half an hour
fully five hundred natives, most of
whom were a tough lot and ready
for a shindy, formed for a rush.
Every man of them was armed, and
the intention to annihilate the whole
outfit was freelj’ expressed. This
' mob had formed to the east of us in
; a wide street. We could gather
only about fifty men to oppose it,
and things were’ looking blue when
old' Ajax began to trumpet again.
The |iad worked hliii
jh'to a ? ‘atatb oi fury. It suddenly
Occurred to me that the elephant
might save us, arid without consult
ing anybody I ran over and slipped
off his chains, and yelled to the men
to raise the flaps at the door and
stand clear.
“If the elephant hadn’t been so ex
j cited he would have been the death

straight for the opening and the
crowd. He was mad all over and
more dangerous than three locomo
tives. Screaming with rage and
flinging his trunk about he dashed
into the crowd, and what happened
will never be forgotten in that old
town. The crowd was panie-strieken
at the sight of the monster, but the
people were wedged in and could
i not move quickly. Ajax used his
, trunk as a soldier would a 'telufe
hIMWt. find hb’Aiowed tfi'e fellows
flown by the doaen. He just swung
Hght smd left, and cleared away
, through and then came back. Now
and then he picked up a man and
flung him over the heads of the
crowd, and again he smashed one flat
by a blow on the head. It was seven

tibout four inches oft his right tusk
in the rumpus. There were seven
teen or eighteen men killed and
about forty more or less hurt. We
pxpected a blooming old row with
the city officials, but were agreeably
disappointed. They got the idea
that the elephant had gained his lib
erty by accident, and you can be
sure we didn’t give ourselves away.
Then oux’ canvas man was killed and
it couldn’t be shown that we had
sought revenge. We had simply
gathered to defend ourselves, as we
had a legal right to do. It took four
or five days to get through with it,

native to go within ten feet of him.
Poor old chap, he returned with us
in safety to fall through a bridge in

well that he did so, however, as he

A Billiard-Ball.
The globe of ivory which is knocked
about u table In a game of billiards
costs, if good quality, at least ten
dollars. This represents its cost in
money, There is, however, n far
more important and formidable cle
ment in the price which has been
paid for it. The billiard-ball of pure
ivory represents, as it lies white and
glistening upon the cloth, tin ex
penditure of human |lfe-b|ood, us
as of money.
Elephants’ tusks are brought
down to the African coast by cara
vans, generally in charge of Arabs,
which have been trading in the in
terior. Very often they have picked
up slaves as well as ivory. But this
phase of the matter may be left out
of the account,
|t Is estimatpfi that {prgq
cai:ay.an bringing ivory to the coast
pas cost more than a hundred an<|
sixty human Ilves through fights
and murders in the course of the ex«
peditlon. Thirty more men are like
ly to have succumbed to fevers or
other diseases and the fatigues of
the march.
The hunting of the elephants and
the capture of the ivory are very
likely to have caused the death of
ten men altogether. Such casual
ties are the rule in elephant hunt
ing rather than the exception.
An average tusk does not fuyujsh
mope than enough material tor two
godd billiard-balls. Os course the
remainder of the ivory in each tusk
is made use of in other ways; a per
fect cut billiard-ball requires special
quality or so-called “nerve," which
is found only in one part of the tusk.

A JOURNALISTIC NOVZI.I V.
enterprise Propos ■'z ta Run a Tck.
phonic Newspaper in Hungary.
Buda-Pcsth, tlx? Hungarian capi
tal. may boast tho greatest journal
istic novelty of modern times —a tel
ephonic newspaper. The Oriental
Review of that city gives an account
of the enterprise that purposes to
supply a city of half a million of
people with important news deliv
ered by word of mouth. The appa
ratus in each hou.ie occupies a space
of about five inches square and has
two tubes, so that two members of
the family can get the news at once.
The whole cost of putting it in is six
dollars, and each subscriber pays 3
rate of sixty cents a month for the
special newspaper service. The
news collector does his work in tho
night, as elsewhere, and at nine a.
m, he takes his in tho c-ontval
station and begins to te|| his story
“in a telegraphic style, summary
and precise, avoiding everything
superfluous." At tho end of flvo
minutes, fearing lest some of his
subscribers may not have heard
everything, he repeats his budget of
news, word for word —mostly con
cerning home events and ye>ys of
Hipigaty. At |en o'clock jic
another oral edition, this time pf
foreign nows, At eleven o'clock h«
lets us know that the Hungarian par
liament is in session, and muy
mention what is being debated.
But word may also come of a
riot, and bv noon the aliirriierl flijbj
scriber may heap that the populace
have attacked the police and been
fired upon; this, we will say, causes
stocks to fall five per pent, Jinnee:
diately the wise subscriber rushes
to his own telephone and gives hU,
broker an order to buy. At two o’clock
the central editor rings furiously
and reports a violent debate in par
liament, which leads to a change pf
{he ministry. A t thpee o'clock there
Is a fire in a building of which the sub
scriber is part owner —and so it goes
on. At six o’clock, according to the
interesting raconteur of the journal
quoted; “M&dame, the hubaoriber’s
wife, comes forward to hear the re
port of a lecture at the academy;
perhaps the repetition, with ull due
emphasis, of a new poem. At seven
o’clock the young ladies listen to a
concert through the Telephonic
Gazette; they can distinguish won
derfully well the touching pathos of
the violoncello, the pearly staccatos
of the violin, tho sweet melodies of
the flute and the enchanting voice of
the prlma donna.” lllustrated

HOLD YOUR TEMPER.
Especially When Traveling, as It Adds
to Your Comfort,
We jiear pf a good many requisites
for, traveling ip comfort, but none of
them surpass good temper, especial*
ly in hot dusty weather, To be in
different to the crying of cross and
tired babies, to draw a shawl or a
wrap over the shoulders when some
fresh-air fiend persists in sending a
current of cold wind from an open
window, or equally to be patient
when you want the window open and
somebody else wants it shut, to be
ready to accept delays without
grumbling, and to be as sweet at a
journey’s end as at its beginning,
this is to be indeed good tempered.
cue travels easily, and is not
made faint and 111 by the rapid mo
tion of the train, or seasick by the
roll of the steamer, there is little
credit in keeping amiable. But
many women suffer fearfully from
jolting and jarring. Their heads
ache, their stomachs rebel, their
nerves are on edge. It is nothing
short of saintly to be pleasant in
these circumstances; but some peo
ple achieve it, and they are held in
pleasant memory by their fellow
fravelers.
A certain amount of philosophy is
an armor of proof when one is on a
journey. The thought that not you
but the conductor and the captain
and tho engineer are responsible for
the safety of the cars or boat should
suffice to keep you from needless and
useless fidgeting when there is a
halt. Some people waste an im
mense amount of energy in trying
to undertake yffiat is nut within
their province. No amount of idle
fuming will cool a heated journal or
repair a break in the machinery, so
it is as well to keep one’s self from
friction, maintain one’s composure,
and trust in the kind care of Prov
idence.
In every emergency, in every ex
perience, the good-tempered person
has the advantage of the one who
is cross and irritable. This js al

Fun.- / Story of a YounT Man and a
Familiar Faca.
A funny story is told of one of our
gilded youths, who, with oil his fash
ionable fads and foliies, has the kind
est heart in the world. On one of
his numerous trips to and from Bos
ton some years ago lie was attracted
by 7 a very familiar and pleasant face
belonging to an oldish-looking lady,
who was evidently traveling alone.
As he prides himself upon never for
getting an acquaintance he puzzled
in vain for a long time trying to re
member when and where hejiad met
her—her features and general ap
pearance., nie.au while, growing more
and more recognizable.
“Hang it all!” he exclaimed to
himself, “I must know her; she
looks as natural to me as ipy awn
aunt. She has one with her, and
it is only the square thing to speak
to her and offer my services," So,
lifting his hat, he approached the
old lady with a smiling countenance.
“How d'ye do,” he remarked,
genially; “can I assist you in any
way?” She looked at him stonily,
“No, thank yoq,” she ttuicl. curtly,
evidently fancying him, as he said
afterward, to bq a confidence iqftq.
“I had th 1 ' pjousqm u s meeting

name of the first place that occurred
to him. “I think not, young man,”
she answered, with a strong

abashed youth, as he retired in con

paper. “No wonder her face looked
familiar!”—N. Y. Tribune.
Classic* P'dn't ©a,
•'Out In California In the early
days of the war,” said Judge Wal
lace, of San Francisco, to the Wash
ington Post man, “there was a good
deal of restlessness and a feverish
impatience on the part of the people
that something decisive should be
done. Everybody chafed at what
seemed like paralysis on the part of
the government, and the phrase
‘masterly inactivity’ was uoj to tie
heard. We wanted U bold, aggres
sive. policy, wo people of the slope,
and wore fretting like a nettled
charger. Public meetings were of
frequ rat occurrence and oratory was
at a premium.
“I shall never forget one of these
assemblages, where the speaker of
the day was a young fellow fresh from
an eastern college and surcharged
with Greek and Latin quotations.
He hadn't got very far along with
his address when he lugged In
an old Ronum f,uw that, freely trans
lated, meant nothing is done except
by heroic effort,
“ 'Nihil fit,' ho began, and then
repeated the words with great em
phasis, ‘nihil lit,’ but that was as fur
as ho got, for at this point a burly
fellow, who wasn’t up in the classics,
threw his hat in the air and yelled:
‘Bully for nihil.’ The crowd yelled:
‘Bully for nihil,’ and the ooUegtan
was too rattled tQ proceed,' 1
He Kept the Seat.
A man going home from Boston on
a late train took one seat and placed
beside him on the other a large
dressed turkey. A half-dozen men
could not find seats and stood in
the aisle patiently. Presently a
little, . nervous-looking man qam£
along. He askejJ the man with,
turkey to take up the bird and give
him the seat. The man refused,
the nervous man at
tempted to move the turkey aside
himself. “No you don’t," said the
bird’s owner. “That turkey is go
ing to have a whole seat to him§eJf.’ A
“You haven’t paid for two seats,"
said the other, red with anger.
‘‘Haven’t I? Well, just see me do it
now!” He called to the conductor.
“Here,” he said, passing his book
©ver, “take out another fare for this
friend of mine'" and fce welded
jocqsely. the direction of the bird.
The qoqduotup looked a little dubious
foe a few seconds, then tore out the
ticket.

’it is an old joke that the native I
Londoner never visits the Tower of I
London and often has not seen the j
interior of Westminster abbey. The
same rule frequently holds good in
America. It is the stranger or sub
urban visitor who takes the trouble
to visit the objects of historical inter
est in our cities, or the localities
where important events have taken
place. lf*ls the summer boarder or
the ait student who discovers the
view from the hill behind the village
meeting house and the chariq of the
country bylanes down which the
cows come home at sunset.
How many Bostonians know their

There is no place cooler or pleasant

to make its own breeze fw its own

A recent writer has called these

Literature Ver«ll» Athletics.
Fifty odd years ago tho general at
mosphere of undergraduate life at
Harvard college was literary—veil’
much more so than it is now, when
athletics is more talked of among the
young fellows than any other one
subject.
In my day literature and matters
connected with belles lettres were de
cidedly ahead of all other things that
engaged us. In lectures, in societies,
in discussions, literary subjects took
a very largo place.
We were enthusiasts about Byron.
Moore’s “Life of Byron” was a fa
miliar book to everybody. The poems
of Coleridge. Shelley ftnfl Keats had
just been republished here iu one
great vqlqmo, and we were quite fa
miliar with them.
While we were in college. Mr. Em
erson returned from Europe with the
first volume of Tennyson. We recog
nized the king at once. We passed
that volume, which Lowell had bor
rowed from him., from hand to hand,
and because WO could not have the
book we copied it and had the verses
in manuscript.
It was a very fine instance, it eeems
to me, of the prompt prescience of
young people in knowing wlieiv the
light was to break forth.
By the same token. I always like
to say that we knew just as well that
James Lowell was to be one of the
living poets of his time as we know
now that he has been one.—Dr Ed
ward Everett Hale.
Swedish Honesty.
A 1 Kiint which soon attracts the at
tention of travelers in Sweden is the
punctilious houoety and truthfulness
of the inhabitants. This is best seen
in the many little incidents of daily
life. When asking for places at a
theater, for instance, the ticket clerk
never fails to inform the applicant if
owing to the crowded state of the
house a better position would be se
cured with a cheaper ticket than the
one asked for. Again, when parcels
are taken out by steamers from Stock
holm to country places in the neigh
borhood, they arc just thrown out on
to the uuay. where they frequently
remain half the day without being
claimed.
It never seems to occur to any one
that they could possibly be taken by
anybody but th'eir rightful owners.
Ou a canal trip of any length a little
book lies in the saloon of the steam
er in which each jmssenger keeps his
own account of the number of meals,
cases, cognacs, etc., he may take dur
ing the journey. —Temple Bay,
Criticising IW|4nMiuciloi>.
Sensible people sometimes make
vei’J' odd mistakes which a little re
flection would have enabled them to
avoid, while people who are not
sensible take very startling views of
things generally. At the centennial
exhibition two country girls stood
before a copy of the Flemish artist
Paul Potter’s great masterpiece, and
one of them read frpm her catalogue,
“The Young Bull, After Potter.”
“Yes,” sai ( l the ether, “there’s the
bull, but where’s Potter?"
“Don't you see him," asked bar
companion, pointing to the figure of
the herdsman, “behind the tree?”—

An Vngrateful
“1 hoyie your are suitably thank

as he xyaikeO into Deacon Ironside's
and sat down on a trestle,
“that the fire that burned down so
many houses on your street last night
spai’ed your house.’’
"Thankful ?" exclaimed the deacon
“Thankful that it spared my big
house and burned the Widder Pear
sail s little cottage right across the
alley from mine I N«t much I ain’t!
I could have stood it and she cain'tt”
Aud Deacon Ironside, with a most
unthankful look on his rugged old
face, began filing a saw.—Chicago

BROKEN MUSIC.
I know not in what fashion site was made,
Nor what her vote© was when sb© used to
>peak.
Nor it tiio silken lashes threw a shade
On wan or rosy cheek.
I picture her with sorrowful, vague eyes
Illumined with each strange gleams of inner i
light
As linger in the drift of London skies
Ere twilight turns to night.
I know not; 1 conjecture. ’Twas a girl
That with her own most gentle desperate
hand
from out God’s mystic setting plucked life's
pearl—
Tie hard to understand.
So precious life is! Even to the old
The hours are as a miser's coins, and she—
Within her hands lay youth’s unminted gold
And all felicity.
The Winged impetuous spirit, the white flame
That was her soul once, whither has it flown?
Above her brow gray lichens blot her name
Upon the carven stone.
This is her book of verses—wrenllke notes,
Shy franknesses, blind gropings, haunting
fears;
At times across the chords abruptly floats
A mist of passionate tears.
A fragile lyre too tensely keyed and strung,
A broken musie, weirdly incomplete;
Here a proud mind, self baffled and self stung.
Lies coiled in dark defeat.
—Thomas Bailey Aldrich in Scribner’s.
The I se of the Word "Mrs.”
A curiously awkward word, if it be
• word, i Mrs.” It is not spelled as
it is J® tounced—no one but a
Welshman or a Pole would be equal
to pronouncing it as it is spelled—
and its pronunciation is a clumsy
contraction of the good old English
designation mistress. In days of old,
when, as Mr. Austin Dobson has de
picted for us in so many graceful
verses, leisure had not become, as it
is now, almost a forgotten luxury
and people were less anxious to clip
their speech, the full pronunciation
was often used, and “mistress” was
not altogether elbowed out of exist
ence by the vulgar “missis.” But
nowadays “mistress” has become as
much u term of opprobrium as of
honor, and consequently the con
tracted pronunciation of “Mrs.” has
prevailed and holds the field.
Another point worth noting in the
history of the designation is that
about 15U years ago and earlier
"Mrs. ” was applied quite impartially
to unmarried as well married ladies.
Even children were sometimes styled
“Mrs." The burial of an infant
daughter of John Milton who died
at the age of 5 months is recorded in
the parish register of St. Margaret,
Westminster, and her name is en
tered as "Mrs. Katherine Milton,”
followed by a small “c” to indicate
that a child is meant. But this may
be regarded as an exceptional use of
the title.—Sala’s Journal.
Kind Word© For Her Majesty.
A well known bishop, suffering
from impaired vision, was recently
holding a levee, and one by one his
guests were being ushered into his
reception room. At length one ar
rived and said:
“How do you do, my lordi My
mother wishes to be kindly remem
bered to you.”
"Ah!” said the bishop, "that is very
good of her. And how is the dear
old soul t Nothing like a good old
mother! Be sure to take care of your
old mother. Good morning.”
The bishop did not in the least
know who his visitor was and said
to his footman, "Who was that I”
The servant replied, "The last gen
tleman who left your lordship's re
ception is the Duke of Connaught.”
The "dear old soul” was Queen
Victoria.—London Tit-Bits.

'Did you ever play poker with a
