How an Elephant Punished the Boy
That Tormented Him.
Bolivar is a big elephant owned
and housed at the Philadelphia zoo.
He is one. of the largest elephants
in the country and has more visitors
every day than any six men in the
city. He does not carry a car, as
does the elephant at Lincoln park,
nor. is he useful in any way except
as a peanut consumer, says the Chi
cago Tribune. It is through him
that the peanut man at the park
makes all his money, for who would
buy peanuts if it were hot for the
elephant and his overwhelming ap
petite?
The drinking cup which is Boli
var’s very own is a four gallon iron
affair which would do very well for
a small boy’s bathtub. . It does
not, however, hold enough water to

Joachim's Way.
Joachim is in, the habit of inter
rupting his lessons in violin playing
with pointed remarks, which show
a lively sense of humor. One day
a pupil, who was a native of Ko-
•rigsberg, played -the adagio from
the ninth concerto of Spohr. Al
though he played it correctly, it was
a dry performance and Joachim re
marked, “My dear B ^n, it is no
disgrace to have been horn in the
‘city of pure reason,’ but if I were
you I would not show it in my play
ings.”
To another pupil who had played
the finale from a Mendelssohn con
certo very stolidly and heavily he re
marked, “I beg for the next lesson
that the elves do not come to dance
in riding boots.” Another youth
could not execute a figure that was
ornamented with brilliant shakes to
his satisfaction. In order to make
the character of the passage clear
to the pupil J oachim said, “That
passage is meant for a garland with
blossoms hanging on it—not pota
toes.”

Furbishing the House.
A few drops of oil of lavender in
a silver bowl or, ornament dish of
some kind half filled with very hot
water and set in the dining room
just before dinner is served gives a
delightful and intangible freshness
to the atmosphere of the apartment.'
Hostesses often put a small vessel in
the parlor and dressing rooms when
arranging the house for a festivity.
TJie suggestion is especially valuable
to the hostess in a small apartment,
which sometimes in the bustle of
preparation becomes stuffy.
^ Missed the Monkey.
The organist ot the church was a
guest of little Margie’s father, and
at dinner she said*to him:
“Do you play an organ ?”
“Yes, my dear,” was the reply.
“Then,” gravely inquired the lit
tle miss, “where’s your monkey ?”

You could sail up here, while I’d roar ao loud!
