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

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

namon, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved
in a little hot water. Bake iu shallow
