AN ECCENTRIC TEXAN.
Want to n Hurled Standing, With nif
Rifle and Tobaneo.
An eccentric character named l!rit
Bailey came from Tennessee to Texan la
1830, nova tbe Dallas AWs. While en
ronle in company -with several others he
requested each man to tell what ho wan
coming to Texas for. When all wero
through it come to his tarn, and he
said :
"I am Being to Texon to establish a
character. I have not got any at home,
and I am going to to try to establish
one in Texan."
He nettled at Bailey's prairie, and
soon after trouble commenced with the
Mexican, and he participated in tho
battle of Vclasca. He carried home
with him a cannon ball as relio of this
fight.
When he came to die he requested to
he buried standing up six feet under the
earth, which would require a grave of
more than twelve feet in depth, as he
was 6 feet 2 inches in height. Ho also
requested that there should be buried
with him his rifle, 100 rounds of ammu
nition, his butcher-knife, two pings of
tobacco, one bottle of whiskey, his dog
and the cannon ball from Velasca. Ail
this was done with the exception of the
dog.
lie died at home in 1833 on Bailey's
prairie, Brazolia County, and was buried
on Oyster Creek. He was liked and ro
pected by all who knew him.
Kplcurean KlaplianU.
An elephant's digestive functions are
very rapid, and the animal, therefore,
requires daily a large amount of fodder
-six hundred pounds at lean. In its
wild state the animal foods heartily, but
wastefully. It is careful in selecting
the few forest trees which it likes for
their bark or foliago. But it will tear
down branches and leave half of them
untouched. It will strip off the bark
from other trees and throw away a large
portion.
As it is a nocturnal animal, it se
lects its trees by tho sense of touch
and smell. Its sense of smell is so deli
cuto that a wiM elephant can wind an
enemy at a distance of one thousand
yards, and the nerves of its trunk aro
so sensitive that tho smallest substance
can bo discovered and picked up by ita
tiny proboscis.
An eh-pluiut's palate is very dilicnto,
and the auiuml is whimsical in selecting
or rejecting morsels of food. Sir Sam
uol W. Buker tells an anecdote illustra
tive of the iiiaiB of u tame elephaut bo
longing to tho police of Dhubri :
, This elephant was fed with rice and
plantains. The stems of the plantains
were split and out into transverse sec
tions two feet in length. Three-quarters
of a pound of rice was placed within
ouch tube of plautuin stum. Ono day,
whilo the elephant was being fed, a lady
offered the animal a small sweet biscuit.
It was taken in the trunk and nlmout
immediately thrown on the ground.
The mahout, or driver, thinking thut
the elephant had behaved rudely,
picked up the biscuit and inserted it in
a parcel of rice within a plantain stem.
This was plncod in the elephant's mouth,
and at the first crunch it showed its
disgust by spitting out the whole mess.
The small biscuit had disgusted the ani
mal, and for several minutes it tried by
its inserted trunk to rake out every
atom from its tongue and throat.
Tea-Cltvut Lead'.
One of tho industries in connection
with the tea trade is the collection of
the lead with which tea-chests are lined.
China has been noted for muny centuries
for purity of its lead, and this tea-chest
lead, as it is colled, is regarded as the
finest in existence. There are muny
uses for it ; it is found very valuable in
making the best kind of solder. No ma
chinery is employed in the production
of this sheet lead ; every sheet is made
by hand in tho most primitive fashion.
A large brick is provided, tho size of
the sheet of lead to be made, and is
covered with two or three sheets of pa
per. On these the molten lead is
poured, and another brick is placed on
the top, which flattens the lead out to
the required size and thickness. The
hoots are soldered together to the size
of the interior of the tea-chest ; the tea
is packed in, and the top sheet is fas
tened in place. Tho workmen are very
expert, and they turn out an immense
Dumber of sheets in the course of a day,
and, where labor is so cheap, at a price
much less than if the articles were pro
duced by machinery.
Children Running Wild.
'It's a mistake," says a physician, "to
let city children do too much of the
'running wild' business in their summer
outings. People have the idea that 'in
the country' one may do anything or
eat anything with impunity. Laws for
healthful living operate as much under
the pines and by the sea as within the
city limits, but not many realize it
Mothers often complain to me that they
bring their children back in the autumn
thinner than when they we.nt away
They may do that and still have them
stronger, but many times children are
allowed to run too incessantly. It takes
a strong child to thrive on continuous
exercise, and city children are not used
to tramping up hill and down and over
rongh roads and fields. Make them
stretch out under the trees or on the
river bank an hour every day, and more
if you can, and they'll gain by it."
Capacity of Barrel.
In the United States the barrel is a
Tory uncertain quantity. A barrel of
wine, boor or cidor contains thirty-ono
and a half gallons; the Cincinnati lamp
oil barrel has forty-three gallons; tlio
Kentucky whiskey barrel from forty to
forty live gallons. In several States of
the east a barrel, as a measure of arti
cles other than liquids, is a legal lixed
quantity. In a half dozen of the East
ern States a barrel of grain is five bush
els; of rice, is two hundred and twenty
pounds; of flour, one hundred and
ninety-six pounds; and of lime, three
hundred and twisty pound.
