Do Elephant'* Reason? In 1874 Womb well s menagerie visited Tenbury, in Gloucestershire, and on that occasion the female elephant, Lizzie by name, drank a large quantity of cold water when heated alter a long walk, the animal as a consequence, being attacked with severe internal spasms. A local chemist, a Mr. Turley, being called in as medical adviser, succeeded in relieving the ele phant's pain, the treatment including the application of a very large blister to the side. The menagerie in duo course went its way, but in May, 1879, it again visited Tenbury, and as Mr. Turley stood at his sbop door watching the zoological proces sion pass, the elephant stepped out of the ranks, crossed from one side of the street to the other, and having advanced to Mr. Turley, placed her trunk around his hand, and held it firmly, at the same time mak ing, as Mr. Turley informs me, a i>eculiar, grunting noise, as it byway of welcome. Thus it was clear, that after an interval of five years .Lizzie had recognized an old friend in Mr. Turley, and that, moreover, she remembered him with a sense of grati tude for his successtul endeavors to relieve the pain from which she had suffered. At night Mr. Turley visited the menagerie, when the elephant again made every dem onstration of joy and embraced him with her trunk. She drew Mr. Turley's atten tion particularly to the side whereon the blister had been applied, thus showing that all the circumstances of live years previous were fresh in her memory. Ob serving that in 1881 the menagerie had again visited Tenbury, 1 wrote to Mr. Turiey inquiring if Lizzie had again rec ognized her old friend. That gentleman replied, his letter bearing date May, 1881, that she had again recognized him, begin ning to trumpet whenever she beheld Air. Turley among tine spectators in the menag erie. On his speaking to his patient, ahe placed her trunk round his legs and lifted mm from the ground, but in the gentlest manner possible. Oa Mr. Turley's pro ceeding to examine one of her hind legs which had been under treatment, the ele phant kept holding one of her fore legs towards him in such a fashion as to draw his attention to the limb. As Mr. Turley, however, had had no concern with the foreleg, he was puzzled to account for the animal's movement; but the keeper ex plained that the fore leg in question had been treated by a veterinary surgeon for an injury, and that the latter had used his lancet to afford relief. The elephant was irritated by the operation, and expressed her resentment on again seeing the veteri nary practitioner by striking at him with her trunk. The act of calling Mr. Turley's attention to the fore leg was simply an expression of admiration for the gentler treatment to which he had subjected his patient, the quieter medical treatment contrasting apparently with the rougher surgical measure to which the foreleg had been subjected. It is thus clear not mere ly that the elephantine nature is endowed with an active memory, but that a lfvely sense of gratitude for past kindness is also represented in the list of mental attributes of this giant race. Onl-Door Festivities. Lawn parties have become a charming feature with the residents ot suburban lo calities F.nc! New York particularly. At these parties small tables are set on the shaded piazzas and also under the trees and are further protected by the uew "lawn" umbrellas, which can be set in the ground, are of large size and are shaped like the Japanese parasols. Low dishes or glass troughs or small china boats filled with flowers are used for decorations, while about ihe grounds a very natural loooking dog or other animal, meekly couchant or ready to spring upon an intru der, appear among the rhododendrons, the feather trees, the flower beds, the shaded walks by the river and the rich shrubbery. Lawn tennis, croquet, and other games furnish amusement and there is usually a "lemonade" tent or awning, where claret cup and lemenade can be procured by ihirsly individuals, who are always in a majority. lhe gentlemen affect very light but conventional cojtumts on these occasions —white flannel with blue silk tie, or very delicate tweed with crimson silk tie or (if it is a gent leman of more qmet taste) ficelle silk tie and ficelle silk lining to the tweed coat. Tiie majority of the young ladies 6re in white —white mull, lace trimmed, or white linen grenadine (often called cheese cloth), trimmed with Florentine lace. There is, of course, variety in the adornments, but the more refined girls choose that their costumes shall be all ivory white or they will drape a soft Roman sash, pale pink and blue about their skirts which are very little draped. But there are other more striking toilets one occasionally for example of ruby surah with large hat and parasol, all trimmed with wbi e lace, and dress, hat and para sol adorned with a bunch of large, natural field daisies with yellow hearts, lhe chintz sateens are also in high favor on these occasions and are usually made with hip panier bodice very much bunched up, short kilted skirt and much pleated lace trimming. Long, pale pink, blue or flesh colored mitts, a chintz parasol and straw gypsy or large open flat, trimmed with mull and cluster of field flowers complete lhe costume. Cattle Kings of Montana. Forty-eight years ago John Saunders, one the wealthiest cattle kings of Montana, who was then a poor youth, with nothing torecdmmend him but a spotless reputa tion and a brave heart, fell in love with a Kentucky belle, whose father was a rich man; but the parents of the young woman refused his consent to the marriage, and was inexorable. Young Saunders was to honorable to press his suit in a family where his presence was unwelcome. He sought an interview with the gin's par ents, who, for the twenty-third and last time, told him to abandon all hope of marriage as lar as their daughter was con cerned, as the difference in their social positions was an insurmountable barrier. "How much are you worth ?" asked the young lover. "Transfer my property into $1,000,000, cash," was the haughty re ply. "Very well," answered young 8 .unders. "To-morrow morning I leave lor the west to carve out a fortnne, and when 1 can size up your $1,000,000 1 will return and claim my bride, for I know she will be true." The young man kept his promise after a long and sorrowful in terview with his inamorata, and with a small outfit struck out bravely for the western territories. Since that time forty eight years have elapsed, during which, with varying success, he has dipped into numerous enterprises, from the British line to Sonora. Hence he came to Mon tana in early days and embarked in the cattle business with a firm of Helena with such success that the firm now owns nearly 20,000 head on the Teton. About month ago Saunders figured up his assets, concluded he was worth a million, and left for Ken tucky He found the girl of his young days waiting for him, confident and hope ful of his final arrival. The two were married with as little ceremony as possible They have arrived in Butte, and alter a short visit will proceed to their home in Teton Valley. AGRICULTURE. Trasspllsting Ykgktajbks. Such vegetables as cabbage, tomato, pepper and celery are usually started in hot beds, cold frames, or some sheltered spot in tne gar den, and allowed to remain there until such time as the weather will permit plan ting in open ground. The skill and care exercised in this operation has much to do with the crop of vegetables. Carelessly done, there are many missing hills, and those that survive transplanting are weftk, puny things, just such as insects like, aud which they can readily destroy. With the use of good judgment and skill in remov ing the plants from the seed bed, and well prepared soil, and core in setting, there should be scarce a missing hill or any se rious check m the growth of the plants. The lime generally chosen for this work by most of our farmers, is immediately af ter a soaking rain, lu one respect this is\ good time, as the plants are in a condition to be taken up without loss of roots, but other than tins there is nothing to reconi mend It to general use. if we could always foretell the coining rain, it would be pre ferable te have the plants in position, then the . rain would dissolve all lumps aud bring the earth in contact with every root. For our part, we prefer doing the work of transplanting when the ground is in good working condition. '1 borough ly soak the plants before takii g th m up, tor a plaut cau not be properly taken up out of dry ground. Keep the plants from sun aud air, aud get the roots under ground as soou as possible. If the soil is dry a piut of water poured iuto each hill will settle the earth arouud the roots. Then put some soil over this that you have made wet, to prevent the surface from baking. The plants should be sheltered from the □oon-day sun by ooveriug in the forenoon, and removing iu ihe evening. For a shade we have never fouud any tiling better than an old shingle stuck on the south side of the hill, slautiug the top to the uorth to prevent the direct rays of the sun from 8 o'clock until 30r5 iu the evening. This has the advantage over pans, crocks, or boxes, as no harm is done if they remain longer then necessary for shade, and the plauts will get the benefit ot any showers ikat may occur, without being obliged to run out in the rain to uncover the plauts. Shingles are cheap, and, if taken care of, will last a number of years for this purpose. How TO HAVE A NICK LAWN —ln the early spring months, when there are fre quent showers, and the grass is in rapid growth, the lawn mower may be used often as once a week with decided benefit. But in our climate, with its extremes and uncertainties, such fixed rules as "mow once a week," will lead to trouble if fol lowed. With the first drouth the grass on the lawn shows a diminished growth and is often really at a standstill. At such times nothing worse can be done to the grass than to cut it. All that there is above ground is needed to sustain the root, and i-cident&lly toshadt t e surface. In tie treatment of the lawn, as in all other gar den operations, some thought should be given to the present condition of the plants and tin object to be gained by any operation lhe kind of gras9 varies the time or frequency of cutting. A fine, thick bottom-growth of June grass or blue grass may be kept pretty closely shaven. But many front yards and lawns have a tim othy or herd's grass sod, and if this Is al lowed to grow eigut to twelve inches high and then cut it will leave a woody stubble, and if dry weather prevails it will be H long time before a new growth from tht root comes up. the plot in the meantime having the appearance of a burned over surface or a dry stubble at best. HORSK BKKKDIRG PROFITABLE —The ac tive demand for good horses which pre vails in all parts of the country is attract ing attention to the breeding of horses. The breeding of horses for sale is likely to prove one of the most profitable branches of farm industry. By securing good brood mares to start with and breeding with stal lions such as will mate well with the mares and tend to secure the desired qualities in the offspring, the business may be placed on such & sound basis that success may reasonably be expected. One difficulty whicb meets the breeder at the outset is that of obtaining suitable stock with which to start. The demand for good horses the past few years has been such that the horses of medium and, large size have been pretty cleanly picked up, leaving mostly horses of small size or undesirable ones. Horses weighing only nine hundred pounds have not been in very active demand in the market, and consequently there are many of that size scattered over the coun try which are of excellent quality. '1 hese may readily be obtained for breeding pur poses, and by mating with stallions of large size, colts may be obtained which will attain a size suitable for the market. CLOVER hay is a very nutritious food for horses, and, when well cured, and put up so as to be free from dust and mold, may be fed with entire safety. The principal object to it lies in the great difficulty which attends its curing and preservation. An other objection is found in the fact that sometimes the second crop excites in horses an unusual and exhausting flow of saliva. When eilhtr of these objections are prts ent it is better to dispense with its use en tirely as far as the horses are concerned, but otherwise it is a good and safe food. SALT IN SMALL QUANTITIES. —Phosphate of lime, required for the proper growth of plants, and phosphoric acid, valuable in combination with other matters, remain in the soil until needed and approrpiated by plant growth; but, on the other band compounds of soda are very apt to leach and leave the soil, if not Immediately ta ken up by the plants. Hence, where it is determined to use salt as a fertilizer, but small quantities should be applied at any one time. TAB famous system of rotation, now ex tended quite generally throughout England and Scotland, with occasional modifica tions, is as follows: The first year, clover and mixed grass seed, the second year, wheat; the third year, turnips or rutaba gas; the fourth year, barley, and then the same course again, An inhovation on this is to add another grain crop, oats, to the shift, making a fiye years' cours ; and so efficient has this course been that it has been calculated that the grain crops hava increased one fourth. ONE of the most useful things for far mere, poultrymen and tinkers m general is a supply of good lacquer made of shel lac and alcohoL It makes a neat and wa terproof varnish for any article of wood or iron. Mix it with dry pigment and paint is farmed that will dry in five min utes afu r application. Eggs coated with st will keep fit for cooking for months, but are spoiled for hatching, as it makes the shell air tight. Too OFTEN THE CASE —The most un cultivated part of the farm is the garden. Oats, corn and wheat receive respective attention when they demand it, the garden waits a convenient season and in the meantime the weeds and the bugs admin ister on the effects. DOMESTIC. How to Qz t Rid of Cockroaches. — A writer in an exchange says: **A few years ago my house was infested with cockroaches (or 'clocks,' as they are called here), and I was recommended to try encumber peeling as a remedy. I accordingly, immediately before bed time, strewed the floor of those parts of tlio house most infested with the vermin with green peel, cut not very thin from the cucumber, and sat up half an hour later to wateh the effect. Before the expiration of that time the floor where the peel lay was completely covered with cockroaches, so much so that the vegetable eould not be seen, so voraciously were they eu gaged in sucking the poisonous mixture lrom it. I adopted the same plan the following night, but my visitors were not near so numerous—l should think not more than oue-fourtU of the previ ous night. On the third night I did not discover one, but anxious to ascer tain whether the house was quite clear of them, I examined the peel alter I bail laid it down about half an hour and per ceived that it was covered with myriads of minute cockroaches about the size of a flea. I therefore allowed the peel to lie till morning, aud from that moment I have not seen a o.Hskroach in the house. It is a very old building, aud I can assure you the above remedy only requires to be persevered in for three or four nights to oompletly eradicate the pests. Of course it should be a fresh cucumber every night." BOILING water will remove tea stains and many fruit stains; pour the water through the stain, and thus prevent it from spreading through the fabric. Ripe tomatoes will remove ink and other stains from white okth; also from the bauds. A teaspoouful of turpentine boiled with white cloth will aid the whitening process. Boiled starch is improved by the addition of a little spermaceti, or salt, or both, or gum arabio dissolved Beeswax and salt will make Hat irons as smooth as glass; tie a lump of wax in a cloth, and keep it for that purpose; when the irons are hot rub them with the wax-rag, then scour with a paper or rag sprinkled with salt. Kerosene will soften boots or shoes hardened by water, and render them as pliable as when new. Kerosene will make tin ketlles as bright as new; saturate a woolen rag and rub with it; it will also remove stains from varnished furniture. If a shirt-bosom or any other article has been scorched iu iron iug, lay it where the)briglit sun will fall direcily on it; it will take it entirely out. Fish may be scaled much easier by dip ping them iu boiling water for a min ute. Cool rain water and soda will remove machine grease from washable goods. Lamp-wick dipped in hot vine gar before using is suid to prevent offensive smells from lamps. Tortoise shell and horn combs are preserved from cracking by being occasionally rubbed with oil. To remove spots from matting, counterpanes, etc., wet with alcohol, rub with hard soap, then wash with cold water. Half a dozen onions plauted in the cellar where they can get a little light, will do much toward al >sorl>ing and correcting the atmospheric impurities that are so apt to lurk iu such places. RECIPE FOR PRESERVING MEAT— There is uo good reasau why farmers and their families should eat so much salt pork, leaving all the fresh meat to the inhabitants of cities and villages, when the following method will keep meat fresh for weeks, even in the warmest weather. I have tried it for more than ten years : As soon as the animal lie&t is out of the meat slice it up ready for cooking. Prepare a large jar by scald mg well with hot salt and water. Mix salt and pulverized saltpetre. Cover the bottom of the jar with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Put down a layer of meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper the same as if it was just going to the table, and continue iu this manner until the jar is full. Fold a cloth or towel and wet it in strong salt and water in which a little saltpetre is dissolved. Press the cloth closely over the meat and set it in a cool place. Be sure to press the cloth in tightly as each layer is re moved, and your meat will keep for months. It is a good plan to let the meat lie over night, after it is sliced, be fore packing. Then dram off all the blood that oozes from it. It will be necessary to change the cloth occasion ally, or take it off and wash it first in cold water, then scald in salt water as at first. IH this way farmers can have fresh meat all the year round. I have kept beef that was killed the 12th February till the 21st of June. Then I packed a large jar of veal in the same way during the dog days, and kept it six weeks. ORANGE PUDDING or custard makes a dainty desert. Cat live or six oranges in small pieces, place them in a pudding dish, and sprinkle one coffeecup of su gar oyer them; make a boiled custard of one pint of milk, the yolks of three eggs, half a cup of sugar, and one teaspoomul of corn starch ; pour this over the oran ges a'ter the sugar has dissolved; make a meringu i of the whites of the eggs with three tablespoon tills of powdered sugar beaten in; put this over the cus tard aud set it in the oven to brown. If the oranges are very sweet, less sugar can be used. ONE is sometimes troubled when fry ing c.ikes by a sediment foimiug iu the lard, which darkens it and sticks to the outside of the cakes. To remedy this peel and wash potatoes, cut them m slices an inch thick and drop them into the hot lard. They will readily absorb the black pirticles, and you can easily take them out with a skimmer and not waste th - lard. A GOOD way to regulate a child's stomach and bowels is to give him a little bowl of oatmeal and milk every day lor breakfast or dinner; 6ee that it is well salted, as salt promotes digestion. The ailments ol' a child who is iu a normal condition almost always pro ceed from the stomach, and much may be done for our children by paying some attention to their diet and so avoid giving medicine as mucli as possible. GINGER POUND-CAKE. —This cake, if made with care, is excellent with coffee for breakfast. Take one cup and a half of sugar, one cup of New Orleans molas ses, three cups of flour, four eggs, one tablespoonful each of ginger and of cin namon, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little hot water. Bake iu shallow pans in a model ate oven for ha f an hour. PRUNE PUDDING. —One-ha'f pound of I r ines boiled soft and thick; remove the stones and sweeten well; then add the whites of six eggs beaten stiff'; chop the piunes fine; then stir in the eggs; put into a dish and bake light brown, berve with sweetened cream. HUMOROUS. SOME said he was killod aud others asserted that he was only dnngersously hurt, but when the reporter pushed through the crowd lie dieovored that the victim had simply lost a thumb by the fall of the plank he was assisting to raise.
