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. .

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.” * PICKWICK . vbYNTEM Rrgm-i>hape cloffiintf . fog Hard-fo-Fibyien HAND-MA&E 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 ?” [SHOBT-yrotfrl Grossman, caioiaeuson.- & e° makers* Hew vor^ WATERMAN.
