A DELINQUENT ELEPHANT.
A Sight st the Palace of Mandalay—A
Dealt in Disgrace.
Many were the sights I witnessed in
and out of the palace of Mandalay, but
nothing struck my attention so much as
the number of trained elephants, lately
belonging to the deposed monarch, and
the splendid quarters in which they were
located, and my surprise was still more
increased when I was introduced to and
entered into conversation with the gen
tleman who presided over this extensive
establishment. He turned out to be a
real native of the Isle of Wight. The
white or mouse colored elephant was
there of course, but “how are the mighty
fallen. ” He was no longer in. a magnifi
cent pavilion, alone in his grandeur, sur
rounded by many servitors of the king;
on the contrary, he was in a stall like the
rest of the beasts, and, if anything, less
noticed than many of his finer brethren.
One more anecdote about this wonder
ful beast, and I have done with elephants.
! shortly before our arrival one of these
animals had greatly disgraced himself by
refusing to carry a certain weight of
goods which had been piled on his back.
There is the regulation weight, and the
[.•easts know to an ounce what they ought
;o carry, and if any one of the mahouts
attempt to put a surplus amount on his
or their backs it is immediately shot onto
the -ground. The animal in question had
oeen duly laden with a weight which was
under the regulation scale; but although
it had been twice weighed, as Mrs. Gamp
would say, before his own eyes, he still
refused to carry it. This was too much
for even his indulgent driver, so he ac
cordingly reported, and just as we arrived
he was about to be trie^l for his extraor
dinary and obstinate conduct.
Several elephants were led out into a
large courtyard, forming a kind of circle
round the delinquent, who seemed al
ready to feel his position acutely, for he
glanced anxiously from time to time at
his mahout, who was visibly affected and
who stood at liis head. A lcaren presided
over the court martial and read aloud the
indictment against the offender, the ele-
phants which constituted the jury ap
parently listening with great attention.
After the statement was finished and the
mahout examined, who, by the way,
gave his evidence with great reluctance,
the karen decided that the case had been
distinctly proved and the culprit was ad
judged the punishment of twenty strokes.
Upon the announcement of the verdict
the jury marched in a most solemn man
ner to a distant part of the yard and re
turned with a switch about as large as a
fair sized scaffold pole. In the mean
time the mahout had been addressing the
offender, who was now weeping copious
ly, large drops of tears falling from his
eyes, and occasionally a shrill and pe
culiar fiound issued from his capacious
throat.
The executioners of the law were at
hand and 6tood about twelve to fourteen
i'eet apart, each balancing with peculiar
nicety in his trunk the aforesaid switch.
The culprit was led up to the place, and
its he passed number one there was a
sound heard which resembled somewhat
a sharp clap of thunder; it was the first
blow delivered by the dread myrmidons
of tk» law. The blow was followed by a
sharp, shrill scream, although there was
evidentfy an attempt on the part of the
culprit to suppress any exhibition of pain.
This punishment continued until the
whole of the sentence had been carried
out. Although I felt considerable sym-
pathy with tie unfortunate delinquent, I
was at the same time intensely amused
with the thorough business like air with
which these ministers of justice carried
out the sentence. There were no light
blows delivered; but, as a matter of fact,
each elephant determined to administer a
heavier amount of punishment than his
neighbor, and the sly twinkle in the eye
as the blow was delivered was a sight to
see.—Prtmrose Magazine.
>' Cleopatra’s Needles.
The pair of obelisks—one in London
and the other in New York city—were
erected by Tliothmes III, in Heliopolis, be
fore the Temple of the Sun—about 1G00
B. C. They were three centuries later
removed from Heliopolis by Eameses II,
and set up in front of Caesar’s temple,
where they obtained the well known name
of “Cleopatra’6 Needles.” When his wars
were ended, Rainesae II caused his name
and titles to be inscribed upon the obelisk
on each side of tiie inscriptions of his re
nowned ancestor, Thothmes IH. One of
these obelisks was removed to London in
1878, and the other was brought to the
United States, and erected on its pedestal
in Central Park in January, 1881. Its
height, including its base on which it
stands, is eighty feet, and its weight, with
pedestal and foundations, 712,000 pounds.
It is red granite from the quarries of
Syene.—“C. P. C.” in Magazine of Amer
ican History.
Boxes in a Theatre.
I could never understand why people
choose boxes in a theatre. Their object
ik certainly not to pee and enjoy the play,
because one does not need to go into a
box a second time to arrive at the conclu
sion that that is hnpossibl*. There are
defects on the stage, lots of them, and
a person perched iu a box cannot
avoid seeing them, and marking ihem,
t»o; that is, unless he is admiring the au-
«nee, or. in case the spectator is a
woman, she wants to see if the audience
admiring her. I say there are defects
on the stage, and will add that there is
; a company wkfceut them. Mine has
and I tui free to admit it. And
i local managers think they are doing
nice when they rush a news-
critic into their box. They, of all
8, should have learned that a perfect
play seen from in front is not perfect
seen from a bo*.—Manager in Globe-
Democrat.
Cock fighting became one of the pas
times of the “Hying Column.” Many
fine birds were brought in by our for
agers. Those found-deficient in courage
and skill quickly weut to the stew pan in
company with the modest barnyard fowl,
but those of redoubtable valor won an
honored place and name and were to 1«

WATERS OF THE SPRINGS.
Principal Constituents of . the Different
Classes of Mineral ^Vaters.
The water of many springs holds in
solution saline, .earthy and metallic in
gredients. Such springs are found in
most parts of the earth, each differing
from the other, more or less, i t the char
acter, quantity and combination of the
constituents. Indeed, as at Saratoga,
there may be essential differences in the
waters of springs at but a short distance
from each other.
The principal constituents are soda,
magnesia, lime, iron and lithium, com
bined with various acids. In some there
is free carbonic acid, so that the water
resembles the manufactured carbonated
water of our so called “.soda fountains.
There may be, also, iu smaller quanti
ties, one or more of a dozen other min
erals. Some springs are hot and their
temperature increases their value, espe
cially for bathing* purposes.
The springs generally contain a mix
ture of several mineral constituents, but
they arc classified according to the pre
dominant one, which, in the main, deter
mines the class of cases to which the
water is suited, though its action is modi
fied by that of the lesser ingredients.
In one class, the chief ingredient is
common salt—chloride of sodium. Since
salt enters into the tissues of the body,
and largely into the gastric juice, it must
have important therapeutical uses. It
stimulates the action of the stomach and
bowels and the general circulation. In
this class of springs, the action of the salt
is usually modified by carbonic acid,
which is also found in them.
The water of a second class of springs
is alkaline, and has carbonate of soda—
which differs not greatly from our cook
ing soda—for its chief ingredient. This,
too, is a constituent of the body, and the
water aids in digestion, corrects acidity,
favors the action of the kidneys, and helps
to promote vital changes in the system.
The doses of all alkalies should be small.
In a third class iron predominates.
This favors the formation of good blood,
the production of heat and general nu
trition.
In a fourth class the special constituent
is sulphur, which is sought, among other
ailments, for numerous cutaneous affec
tions.
In a fifth, the chief constituents are
carbonate and sulphate of lime, and car
bonate of magnesia, and are of use to
persons having digestive troubles, with a
tendency to acidity, diarrhoea, and irri
tability of the mucous membrane.
These waters, as bottled up at the
springs, and sold by druggists, are in
themselves equally potent; but a large
part of the benefit of a visit, say to Sara
toga Springs, is in the change of scene,
surroundings, etc. Much, also, is due to
copious drinking, which washes out the
stomach, and variously relieves the sys
tem. But to have the full benefit of
mineral waters, one should be guided by
the advice of an intelligent physician.
Without it, harm may result, instead of
health.—Youth's Companion.
Pleasant to the taste and surprisingly
quick in relieving coughs and colds, it

Gen. Lew Wallace has received $37,-
000 as royalties on “Ben Hur,” the
sales of which have reached nearly
200,000 copies.
To enjoy good health, aim to always
have abundant sleep; this can generally
be secured by management, unless you
have a ervin" baby, in which case Dr.
Bull’s Baby Syrup will greatly assist.
To equalize the circulation of the
blood, subdue nervousness and cleanse
the system, use Laxador, the great reg

Arsenic as a Medicine.
Arsenic is extremely useful in a narrow
line of cases. In chronic malarial poison
ing it usually acts as a real antidote after
quinine, and all the principles derived
from Peruvian bark have done all they
can to rid the organism of the enemy. It'
is in the obstinate and obscure forms of
malarial poisoning that arsenic is of such
great value. In ordinary chills and
fever, it is too slow to take the place of
quinine, but in neuralgias, headaches and
obscure nervous troubles showing a ten
dency to appear and disappear with
regularity, there is no substitute for
arsenic. In cases of this kind the drug
appears to be simply an anti-malarial
remedy, with no show of its so called
alterative qualities. In certain skin dis
eases, especially those showing a tendency
to sluggishness, with no slia *p, acute
symptoms, arsenic is supposed to act as
an alterative. The scaly, skin affections,
those connected in some way with the
rheumatic constitution, are of this char
acter. How it performs the service of
increasing the circulation, hastening the
activity of the removal of old tissues and
the adding of new materials where they
are most needed, is still practically un
known.—Globe-Democrat.

Novel Use for the Scriptures.
Bible readings in parlors will be a
feature in society—a diversion shall it be
said?—this winter, and will take the
place among some of the intellectual that
Browning recitals occupied last year.
Readers who may conclude from this
preface that society is becoming pious
will be disappointed when they learn that
the new movement finds its support
among the agnostics, and that the old
Bible will be selected solely with the
rhetorical and oratorical possibilities of
its stately language in view. It is un
derstood that a young society man who
quite distinguished himself as an amateur
reader of Browning has studied the
Psalms this summer for the purpose of
reading them to ears sated with the
“Flight of the Duchess” and “Rabbi Ben
Ezra,” and is very eager for the opening
of the reading season, which usually
dates from Nov. 15. From the Psalms
he hopes to progress to the book of Job,
should society graciously smile upon the
bold experiment in its final phase. Per
haps to a portion of his hearers the Rig
Veda is more familiar than the holy
Scriptures.—Boston Transcript.
CATARRH
is a disease of the mucous membrane, gener
ally originating in the nasal passages and
maintaining its stronghold in the head. From
this point it sends forth a poisonous virus in
to the stomach and through the digestive or
gans, corrupting the blood and producing oth
er troublesome and dangerous symptoms.
A particle is applied into each nostril and is
agreeable. Price 50 cents at druggists; by

The German Voice.
I think if Germans who compare the
German and American singing, to the ad
vantage of their own nation, knew the
opinion their own great countryman,
Richard Wagner, had of their voices,
they would be disposed to search for the
reasons of his conclusions before they
flattered their own vocal powers. Wag
ner believed that the German voice is too
harsh and too little susceptible of modu
lation for true melody, and I have in my
poeketbook a statement of his reflecting
particularly upon the coarse tones of
