and in all Bronchial troubles and diseases

A ProccMiAn of Elephants.
Marie A. Millie tells a number of
“Stories of Elephants” in St. Nicholas.
The author says:
The prime minister of Nepal and tbe
court were at that time in. holy Hardwar,
in order to batbe in the sacred Ganges, and
perform their pilgrimage to the “Hur Ki
Pyree," or “Steps to Heaven,” and for
their benefit the elephants were made to
go in procession through the sacred town.
Can any child picture a procession of
160 tame elephants in single file, headed
by Bljli, and with Naraln bringing up the
rear? It was truly a grand sight. They
covered a mile and a quarter of road and
were as orderly as soldiers in a marching
regiment. Through the town they
marched, each beast in its place, in no
way disconcerted by the populace or by the
screaming children, who joined in singing
their nursenr rhymes at each turn of tbe
road. They think that Guneshln, the god
of wisdom, has his existence in an ele-\
pbant’s body] and so they venerate the;
colossal beast\ Immensely. Their little
voices, pitched nt tbe highest, sang out tbe
couplet:
Elephant, O elephant, give us a hair of your
tail, ,
Or, Instead thereof, a sword of gold I
It was a quaint, queer sight—the old
town with its mosques and minarets; the
“sacred stairs of Vishnu,” leading down
to the blue water’s edge; the priests on the
steps in gay sulphur colored garments,
feeding tbe sacred fish, while the sacred
monkeys were swarming everywhere,
swinging from branch to branch of the
trees, feeding on tbe house tops, screaming
and playing. Below marched undisturbed
the imposing procession of elephants, all
bent on obedience, and wending their way
regardless of all distractions.
The New Earl Lytton.
“On the day that the Boxburghe ten
antry were celebrating the majority of
their yoiyf&duke,” says the London Il
lustrated Cxiews, “Sir Victor Alexander
George Robert Bulwer-Lytton, third Earl
Lytton, came of age. He was born at
Simla on Aug. 10, 1876, and succeeded his
father in 1891. The family traces its or
igin to Sir Robert de Lytton, who was
oomptroller of the household of Henry IV,
and Knebworth came into their possession
so long ago as tbe fifteenth century. The
direct line has been broken by a Strode
and a Robinson succeeding to Knebworth,
and by two women of the house marrying.
Just a hundred years ago Elizabeth Lytton
married Brigadier General Bulwer. Ono
of her sons became Baron Balling and
Bulwer; another was the famous novelist.
Thus, although the genealogical purist
would regard the line of Lytton as having
been hopelessly broken, such immediate
ancestors as the novelist and his son, the
diplomatist and poet (Owen Meredith,
who died in 1891), may make the family
proud of tbeir pedigree, and lead us, not
unnaturally, to expect a good deal from
the young earl who has just emerged from
minorhood. ”
