Throo young elephants which have boon in tho Central Baric monagerio somo months woro sccurod by Director Conklin for four yonrs. They aro tho property of Colo, tho old circus pro¬ prietor, and wero with Barnum’a nni mals last year in Bridgeport, whon tho big liro destroyed so largo a portion of tho collodion. Thoso auimais escaped uninjurod, though badly scared by tho confhigration. Tlioso oiepbants were takon about twenty year9 ago, whon tlioy woro only a fow yoara old, and have ” passod r ..... most of thoir livoa in cap- ‘ tivity. Their ages aro about twonty- five years each, . which i v in tho dnwhant’s elephant s enreor is tho full porio 1 of youth.

This answers all ordinary purposos, but by putting fortli a small portion of thoir enormous strongth, thoy can readily snap tho massivo links of iron. Tho tremondous strongth which thoso animals aro capablo of putting forth cannot bo roalizod until it is soon. Tho keopor says that any ono of tho olo¬ phnnts has tho atrength of a dozon liorsos. Whon thoy exert this power thoy suggest somo enormous ongino which has becomo ondowod with lifo instead of moving mechanically by stoam powor.

A few days ago a hoavy boor wagon bccamo faslonod in a rut in a street near lho arsenal. Tho stoutest team of Norman horses could not budgo tho wagon, and scvoral othor liorsos lent their aid in vain. Director Conklin, who had stoppod to look on, sent for ono of tho olophnnts. Tho keopor diroctod tho animal to push tho wagon from behind and whon ho placod his bond against it with a slight o.ffort tlio horses started nnd the vohiclo roso out of its rut ns if by magic. Last week n frumo building was to lie romovod to nnolh r part of tlio grounds. It was a small two-story structure, partly filled with grain nnd implomonts, making a weight of twolvo or fiftocn tons. With some difficulty tho workmen raisud tho huge mass on roller).

When I caught them afterward they shook ull over and wore as nervous as children. An 1 you rmy not think it but they know tho meaning of tho word fire.

A Strange Breed of Cattle. A strange breed of Wi'.d cattle Is found in tho high hills skirting the Unique valley, Oregon. In tho moun tains near Riddles and Bose bud, they aro probably most plentiful, but they do not vonturo down into tho valley much. They stay on tho hills and get water from tho living springs which rise there. For tho most part they are concealed in tho doaso growth of oak and fir on those mountains. There ia heavy undorbrush, too, so that it is a bird mattor to got thorn. They go in bands of six or eight usually, but at night a hord of forty or fifty get to¬ gether and lio down in tho same yard— that is, they sloop in tho same spot, which is usually a sccludod spot among tho trees. A band of wild cattle have boon known to got together on a clear spaco liko this ovory night for a couplo of yoars. Whon foeding thcro nro al¬ ways a fow bulls to act as sentinols. While tho cattlo graze in bands of half a dozon or so, they are, ncvertholoss, closo to bands, so that at an alarm from ono of tho bulls, which leisurely feed on highor ground, thoy all run away together. Tho cattlo aro all colors and wilder than doer. is a to get a shot at thorn, for tho reason that their scent is so koon. Thoy can smoll a man a long distance oil. They got wild in 1853, whon tho old man Biddies and two or throo others of tho old settlers camo to tho valley. Their cows wandered iff and could not bo found. After two or throo years whon tho pionoers wntitod hoof all thoy had to do was to rig out pack animals and go up into tho mountains, Tho ani mills hud to bo kiliod on fight, tho samo as door or boar, for thoy could no moro bo driven down than dcor could. Onco kiliod they wore quartorcd,pnckod on tho horsos, and carried down. Thoy havo boon huntod a good deal of lato yoars, so that thoro aro not so many as thoro usod to be. A peculiarity about thoso cattlo is that thoir eyos and horns aro jot black. Tho rotino, iris, and tho whole applo of tho oyo is ono moss of black. You can’t distinguish any dliloronco in any pnrt of it. Tho horns, too whilo being black as ink, are long and sharp. Brought to boy, the Oregon wild cattlo nro very wicked lighters. — [ Chicago Times. Poling and Picking Hop*. Whon thu bop* reach a bight of two or throo foot tlia timo for “poling’’ has atrivod. Cedar polos about twenty feot in length aro usod lor this purpose^ being driven into the ground throo inches from the plants. Tna sprigs aro thou trained around thoso polos, caro fully turning thorn to tho right. It is a singular fact that thoy will grow no otlior way than toward tho sotting sun. Another singuinr thing about tho fields is tho prcsonco of tho malo plant. Sev¬ eral of thoso will bo found In every yard.
