BEDTIME AT THE ZOO.
Mamma Elephant’* Way of Patting Her
Baby to Sleep.
It was sunset time in Bummer, and
the gentle animals of the zoo in one of
the great cities of the world were in
yards, and folds outside the buildings.
When I reached the inclosure belonging
to mother elapifflnt, there was a large
number of men, women and children
standing along the fence. They were
very quiet, as if they were afraid of dis
turbing some one. As I stopped by the
fence and looked in the yard a small
girl touched my skirt, pursed up her
mouth and giving me a solemn look of
warning pointed to the elephants.
Mamma elephant had her trunk
around her baby’s neek and seemed to
be whispering and encouraging him as
he rubbed his head against her knee.
He stood a moment, .then raised his
head, flapped his big little ears, gave a
flirt of his little oord of a tail and trot
ted off by his mother’s side to the cen
ter of the yard. There she left him and
went to a pile of hay that stood in a
corner. This she took up, bunch by
bunch, with her trunk, so nicely that
she did not drop a wisp of it, and spread
it around her child, who had not stirred
from the spot where she left him.
When the hay had been all spread
around the baby, the mother stepped
into the center and began to tread it
down with her feet, the little one fol
lowing her motions exactly till a per
fectly even space had been trodden
down; then mamma elephant stepped
ou.t again, went to the farther side of
the yard and fumbled about the ground
with her trunk. As she camo back her
baby flourished his small trunk and
flapped his ears, making at the same
time a soft grunting sound, as if he
knew what was coming and liked it.
This time mamma stood outside the
baby’s bed and beginning with the
back of his ears blew a small cloud of
fine dust into the folds of skin behind
them, then into those around his legs
and under him till ho was thoroughly
powdered for the night. This done, she
again put her trunk about his body; the
little fellow dropped to his knees on his
carefully trodden bed, and after a few
soft pats and a few soft grunts from his
mother he lay as a well trained child
of the elephant family should.
The mother’s work, however, was not
yet done. She took up delicately the
hay from the edge of the bed, and be
gan tossing it lightly along his sides
and up toward his back, till its ridges
no longer showed.
When all was done, the small girl
Who had warned me not to disturb the
proceedings heaved a great sigh, and,
turning to me, said, “I would just like
to know what they do it for I” So I told
her, explaining the habit wild aniihals
have of treading their beds, to make
sure there are no snakes in the grass;
the necessity of dust powdering the
young, whose skin is tender in the folds,
and who are troubled by insects; the pil
ing up of the dry grass around them, to
conceal them from the possible hunter.
—Northern Christian Advocate.
Spaniah Name* on Pullman Car*.
“The public is dead sore on Spanish
names,’’ said a Pullman conductor
as he turned away from looking over
the register. “You may not believe
it, but I have found a strong preju
dice against the Spanish names on the
Pullman cars, and the company is ar
ranging to change many of them. The
fire of patriotism is too hot just at pres
ent to put up with anything that even
suggests a don. The company may kick
on it, but one of the superintendents
told me recently that several of the cars
had already been sent to the shops to
have the names changed. Some of the
most poetical names in use must go, be
cause they suggest the queen regent, lit
tle Alfcuso or some city in Spain. For
example, such cars as the Cadiz, Blanco,
Castile, Seville, Mercedes, Lu
sitania and Andalusia are being square
ly boycotted. And this is no joke.
“In Pittsburg the other day a passen
ger took a day coach rather than pay
for a seat in the car named Castile. Up
on the Erie road the handsome car
Blanco was pelted with stones and mud
while it was standing outside one of the
best stations on the system. The people
simply won’t have these Spanish names.
I just heard how the Mercedes had been
turned down on the Panhandle line a
week ago, and how the porter had rid
den 200 miles without a soul in his car.
Os course he kicked. Who wouldn’t?
The porters are disconsolate, and say
there is no use talking, the fine Spanish
names won’t go these days, and when a
porter gets leary of his car you might
as well take it off.’’—New Orleans
Times-Democrat
Naming Na**au Hall.
How many of the undergraduates and
alumni of the College of New Jersey,
asks Mr. Mellick in “The Story of an
Old Farm, ” are aware that their being
able, to sing of the glories of “Old Nas
sau’’ on campus and at annual banquet
is due to the humility of a colonial gov
ernor? He then tells the origin of the
name Nassau hall.
In 1756, one year before the death of
Governor Jonathan Belcher, that digni
tary presented his library to Princeton
college. In gratitude for the gift the
trustees requested that they might be
allowed to give his name to the now
venerable building, then being erected,
which for so many years has housed the
faculty and students qf this ancient? seat
of learning. His excellency declined ths
proffered distinction.
The governor requested that it should
be named to “express the honor we re
tain,” to quote his words, “in this re
mote part of the globe, to the immortal
memory of the glorious King William
111, who was a branch of the illustrious
house of Nassau and who, under pod,
was the great deliverer of the British
nation from those two monstrous furies,
popery and slavery. ”
And so it was that the trustees decid
ed that the new collegiate building “in
all time to come” should be called

AT A NEGRO REVIVAL.
Unlettered Men Who Wloely Expound the
' Truth.
We were a party of rix, all Sunday
school teachers, all supposed Scriptural
expert*. One of our number was a re
tired American Missionary aaaooiatjon
worker and another on* had been prepar
ing for the foreign mi trio n field when bar
health failed bar. The five of na aooepted
the invitation of the sixth/our hoateaa, to
Sttend a colored revival meeting naar by.
We were the only white people In She
crowded church. All about ua ware djftky
faces; all around ua the mallow negro
voice* rang out in characteristic) negro re
vival songs. The words were trivial, the
choruses but disjointed bite of aentenoee,
but the melody was intoxicating to the
senses. Though untuned, what voices;
untrained, without rule, yet with a
strange rhythm and passionate fire that
stirred one’s pulsea a* ne.er operatic aria
could 1
Our dark skinned brethren were of the
Christian religion; therefore they were
nearer to ua than heathen. Nevertheless
between us and them rolled a great gulf.
They were illiterate, emotional babes in
the gospel. They had never heard of toe
higher criticism and never studied Barnes
or Adam Clarke and were not afraid <u
De Wette or Renan. So we sat there with
the patronising air that human beings are
apt to assume when thrown in contact
with mortals lesa wise than themselves.
Brother Jonah Watkins, a white wooled,
bent basked man of 70, was called upon
to pray. He responded, In nowise over
awed by our superior presence. He prayed
as though hla lipa had Indeed been touched
by a live coal from God’s own altar.
“O Lord," he prayed, “thou knoweat
dis people. Here we are befo’ de, down on
our marrer bones in de lowlar.dsof sorrow.
Raise us up, deah Lord, an stan ua up
upon our feet upon de mountain tops of
glory. An de sinnahs of dis congregation,
deah Lord, smite ’em wld de hammah of
Jeremiah”—
I heard no more. “The hammah of
Jeremiah"—What was It? I had read the
prophet Jeremiah through and through,
with the commentaries and Bible diction
aries open at every page, but never a syl
lable had I caught about Jeremiah’s ham
mer. What did this bent backed colored
man know about Jeremiah that the wise
teachers of the law had overlooked? The
question was broached on the homeward
walk. Our party had all been struck with
the expression, but not one of us six Sun
day school teachers had the remotest idea
of what Jeremiah’s hammer might be.
The next day six men and women read
their Bibles, and each of the six began at
the first verse of the first chapter of Jere
miah. One by one aa we reached the
twenty-ninth verse of the twenty-third
chapter we found what wo were after.
“Is not my word like a fire? saith the
Lord, and like a hammer that breaketh the
rook in pieces?” Jeremiah’s hammer was
God’s word, that was able to break down
the flinty resistance of the indifferent soul.
Could Scripture reference have been more
applicable? And the wonder of all was
that this low born son of toil, spelling hia
text out word by word, should have found
the kernel of the meat, while othess, with
every help at hand, passed over Ik—ln

Nitrogen Trap*.
We can draw upon the stock of nitrogen
In the atmosphere by means of sunlight
acting upon and vitalizing leguminous
crops, such as olover, vetches and peas.
All of these can be grown as “ between
crops," so as not to interfere, with the reg- I
ular crops. Clovers oan be sown in the
stubble of small grain or even with the
grain seed. Vetches and peas can be sown
in standing corn at the last oultivatioh.
The selection of a crop to be used as a
nitrogen trap depends largely upon the
locality, soil and system of rotation. For
states south of the Ohio and Potomac riv
en, the cowpea, crimson olover and sand
vetch are the three most satisfactory. For
more northern states, red clover, Canada
pea and winter vetch promise most.
In general any legnmo known to thrive
upon the soil will be satisfactory as a ni
trogen trap. When such a legume la once
found and adopted, it should be continued
year after year, as these crops never give
the best results until they have been
grown upon tho same field for several sea
sons—the longer the better. Rye, turnips
and other nonleguminoua crops which are
sometimes turned under are of no value as
nitrogen gatherers. All the legumes
" named, except sand vetch, make valuable
fodder, and their use as fodder does not
detract from their value as fertilizers, ft
fed upon the farm and the resulting ma
nure returned to the land. For soils too
sandy to produce good olover or winter
vetch blue and white lupines and sand
vetch are recommended for all but the
coldest parts of the United States. The
latter three are worthloss as fodder.—Cor.
Country Gentleman.
Feeding Pet Doge.
In small families there is often a good
deal of complaint that there are no scrape
left over from the meals to feed the dog.
To purchase regularly the biscuits that
come ready prepared becomes after awhile
a financial tax that maybe eeverefyfrft
by those who have but little means and
must make that little go a great way.
With a bit of good judgmeUtnnd ease
one may provide for this Important branch
of the family at small expense. After ins
soup is served there is almost always a re
siduum at the bottom of the pot. Put this
iu a kettle and keep It in a cool place until
a considerable quantity of scraps and left
over soup accumulates. Pour Into this
any surplus milk, sweet or sour, that may
be on hand and place the kettle on the
stove to boil, stirring it frequently, that ft
may not burn. Then stir in until ft la ha
thick as ft oan be handled some ground
feed, such as is prepared for farm animals
and sold at feed stores. This feed has a
quantity of coarse oats In ft and should be
sifted through an ordinary flour sifter
before it is stirred into the soup. Remove
the kettle from the fire and when partly
cool add one teaspoonful of soda and two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder for every
four quarts of the batter. It may then be
rolled out into blsculte or dropped from a
spoon upon greased pans. Bake the cakes
until quite brown in » very hot oven. If
packed in a dry place, they will keep in
definitely.—New York Ledger.
Not Exactly S Substitute.
In the course of a morning call on tbs
Rev. Dr. Fourthly the Rev. Dr. Sprightly
remarked:
“By the way, doctor, I conducted a fu
neral for you once. Would it be conven
ient for you to do a wedding for me next
Thuroday?”
“Yes,” replied the other. “You are
compelled to leave town that day, I pre
sume?"
“I am," rejoined Dr. Sprightly, “but

GENIUS OF THE ROADSIDE.
■®w a Statesman’* Bariln Protege Was
Helped oa Way to Fame.
“The off horse has lost a shoe from
the right fore foot, said the ooachman,
m he drew up oppoeite a wayside Black
smith shop. “SHall X stop and have ft
replaced?”
“Byall means, ” replied the owner
of tho curricle, Senator Ahron Burr of
Hew York, “it is always the proper
thing to keep your horses well shod,
and, besides, I am only too glad of a
chance to stretch njy legs after so long
a drive. While tho smith is busy I will
■troll to the top of one of these beauti
ful Ulster county bills.’’
When he returned half an hour later,
he happened to glance at the side of a
barn near the shop ar I saw with sur
prise an accurate though hurriedly
drawn charcoal picture of hia curricle
and bones. *
“Who drew that?” ho Inquired.
“That little frenzy head yonder,”
replied the blacksmith, pointing to a
boy in homespun who waa chopping
wood in the dooryard oppoeite aa if his
whole mind was occupied with his task.
“Halloo, my lad," called Burr, and
when the little fellow looked up with
the air of one who haa been caught in
some misdemeanor he added pleasantly,
“If ever you want to change your occu
pation and see life, just put a clean
shirt in your bundle and go to this ad
drees in New York,” and he crossed
the road to hand the boy a slip es paper.
The team was soon on its homeward
way, and in a short time the incident
passed from the crowded mind of Aaron
Bun. Months afterward, as he sat at
breakfast, a servant brought him a pack
age containing a homemade clean shirt
and said that a boy at the door had
asked her to deliver it as an all suffi
cient introduction. But the senator
could not understand its significance, so
he sent for the boy, whom he at once
recognized as the youthful genius of the
roadside. .
With all his faults, Bun waa a gen
erous man at heart, and he spared
neither pains nor expense to give the
youth the best of instruction in his
chosen profession. From an artistic
point of view the student became very
successful as the great painter Vander
lyn, although he lived a life of poverty.
He painted the portraits of Aaron
Bun and his daughter, Theodosia, from
which were taken the fine engravings
by which we know them. He died near
the spot where he drew the picture of
the waiting team. His career is a noble
monument to tho better side of the na
ture of his benefactor, a nature not
wholly devoid of Sweetness and light,
although darkened by frequent clouds
through his mature life and finally
eclipsed in the murky gloom of a purely
selfish ambition.-—Atlanta Constitution.
GOLFING PHILOLOGY.
Derivation of Curious Tonus Which Bo
long tho Game.
To the enthusiastic golfer the game Is
never out of season. Fitted with “arc
tic” goloshes and a warm knitted
waistcoat, he is seen upon the links on
many a day which appears inclement to
the uninitiated. Perhaps this disregard
of snow and ice is* natural when one
comes to look up the derivation of golf
ing terms. Many of the words come di
rectly from the Icelandic languages,
others have synonyms in Gaelic or
Swedish.
The tee, er little nodule of gravel or
earth from-which the golfer strikes off
his ball, at the beginning of each link,
is derived from “tia, ” an Icelandic verb
signifying “to point out.”
Again, “golf” itself evidently comes
from the Scandinavian “kolf, ” a club,
the Gaelic form being “oolb” and the
Icelandic form being “kolfr” (a clapper
of a bellor bulb).
The “links” come straight from the
Swedish “lynka," moaning a “twist”
or “crook;” hence its application to the
windings of the epast, the sandy, barren
ground called “links” in Scotland.
To “put” (pronounced “putt”) comes
from the Gaelic “put,” signifying to
push or throw, as when the useful “put
ter” propels the golf ball from the
“putting green” into the holo. .
The “lofter” is derived from the Ice
landic “loft"—that la, shy or air—a
Danish form being “loft" for ceiling or
loft.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Pansy, as thin aa a snake, tied by a
