In Which Jumbo a ml Hie (ireat
American Showman Won.
1 When 1'. T. Buiiium antii-lpntoU the
'decline of the freiik and other small
stuff as u superlative drawing adjunct
of the circus he dispatched agents to
Europe to round up MinioHiing that
would startle Aniciicau amusement
lovers. That was early in the year
ilKSU, before the magic wand of Tody
Hamilton had transformed the abnor
mality into the prodigy. To use his
own words, .Mr. Harnuin wanted
"twenty camels, thirty ostriches 'or
some other big stuff." lie clearly fore
saw the tangible, possibilities of the
Menagerie, and, as was so character
istic of the great showman, he decided
to "go after it." His agents, headed
by a Mr. lavis, lauded in London.
After viewing the animals in the zoo
logical gardens at Itegent park they
were ushered Into the presence of the
big elephant Jumbo, the superintend
ent Inquiring with levity, "Is he big
enough?" Hut London had no inten
tion of disposing of Jumbo, for he had
created no little stir in the British
metropolis because of his enormous
size. The agents departed for con
tinental cities, and nt Hamburg nine
camels were purchased and shipped
to New York to become the nucleus of
Bnrnum's first menagerie.
Two weeks later the Zoological so
ciety of Londou received a cablegram
from Mr. Uarnum inquiring if Jumbo
was for sale and how much money
.would buy him. The members of the
society chanced to be li) session at the
time and the matter was given some
consideration, though they probably
thought that this fellow Barnnm was
Just joking. However. Mr. Barnum
received in answer to his Inquiry the
following: "You may have Jumbo for
2,kio as he stands." There was con
siderable moaning to that "as he
stands" clause, because Jumbo was
no ordinary elephant. He weighed
something over six tons, stood oyer
eleven feet in his stockings and pos
sessed u mind of his own that could be
so contrary nt times that people often
accused Jumbo of being quite human.
In due time Mr. Bnrnum's agents ar
rived with the 2,000 for the purchase
of Jumbo and a huge cage In which to
encase him and transport him to Amer
ica. The cage was upon wheels, was
powerfully constructed and weighed
something over four tons. The trans
action was made with due formality,
'and Jumbo became American property.
Accordingly and with considerable
pomp the big elephant was escorted
from his spacious and almost palatial
quarters in the garden up to the Amer
ican constructed cage, but Jumbo
smelled a mouse (they say that ele
phnnts are' afraid of mlee), and he
.refused with dignity to lend himself
to such nefarious plans. Coaxing and
threats were vain, and Jumbo, tri
umphant, was led back to bis quarters
for the night. He was given his usual
supper and dreamed unmolested of the
elysium where all good elephants go.
The agents began to appreciate the
significance of that "as he stands"
clause. But they had a plan. The
next day Jumbo was again escorted t
the cage. Again he respectfully de
clined to euter, complacently putting a
foot forward and defiantly bidding the
'overworked men to move him. There
upon stout ropes were obtained, and It
soon became apparent that Jumbo was
to undergo the Indignity of being pull
ed Into hit) new quarters. But all the
1 king's horses and all the king's men
pulled and worked in vain. Jumbo
ifwas immovable. He had blue blood
in his veins, and he couldn't under
istand why he should be obliged to ex
change liis elaborate quarters for a
cage 9 by 12. Again nt night Jumbo
dined and drenmed in peace.
The following day was strenuous. A
'largo force was drafted Into service.
Jjunibo was coaxed, pulled, beaten and
coaxed again, but again he slept and
'dined In his quarters in the garden.
That "ap he stands" clause was about
'the biggest proposition that the Amer
licnn showmen had undertaken for a
Ions time, and It soon became apparent
that the Britishers did possess a streak
iof humor after all. The agents got
ibusy. The next morning Jumbo was
up with the sun and was somewhat
surprised to find that his breakfast was
not In Its accustomed place. But he
oon discovered it in an .adjoining room
n n,iw- room by the way, but as Jum
bo bad been so victorious he evidently
tcu'lit be was deserving of larger
apartments, and be entered the new
addition, said grace and enjoyed his
(breakfast But that was the undoing
of Jumbo, for no sooner had be begun
tos.".t;.ify his morning appetite than the
door through which he entered was
closed and tightly bolted. Jumbo was
at lust in the cage, which had during
the jilght been converted Into an impro
vise! 1 room by the new purchasers.
But J umbo took his defeat philosophic
ally. It was a case of strategy and
dlphiiifnry, and he had lust. The cage
var wheeled away to the wharf, and
boo:: Jumbo was bidding ndiou and au
rev .'r to old England, and P. T. Bnr
imi'i's ii'vg agents were busy telling
the ,v iple of America of the coniinfe
of t , biggest elephant In the world.
Ji'u:!io was born in Africn. When a
wee 1 1 it of n pachyderm bo was taken
to Vi!"ls, and soon thereafter he was
ttalcn to the Loudon zoo, where he re
maiucd for seventeen years. As men
tlored nbove, he stood almost twelve
:feei in height and weighed about six
fton Following his departure Jumbo
il)oo:ie,e the reigning sensation of Lon
fdoD .' The ssclety was criticised for sell
'injr l'''i'. for It had Just dawned upon
the people of London that Jumbo was
a "big thing." Children talked about
him upon the Btreets. Grownnps dis
cussed htm. The papers and magazines
took up the subject. Parllameut beard
speeehes on Jumbo; even the queen
took time to discuss him. But the so
ciety In defense claimed that Jumbo
was becoming ferocious and uuman
ageable, which proved to b'true.
Once In America, Mr. lfirnum ad
vertised Jumbo to the limit. Atuerl
cans went wild over the animal, and
he was exhibited from coast to const.
As Mr. Barnum had anticipated, Jum
bo became "It." But on Sept. 15, 1885,
while the Barnum & Bailey show was
at Bt. Thomas, Out, the famous ele
phant was killed by a freight train
while ho was on his way to be loaded
Into one of the Barnum cars.
But that was not the last of Jumbo.
By prearraugoment noted taxidermists
were engaged, and the skin and skel
eton of Jumbo were prepared and
placed In the natural history museum
In Now York city, where they are tho

MEN, WOMEN AND MEALS.
Soitietltina; on n Tray nnil the Ty
rnnny of Food.
When men Riipposc thnt dinner goes
on whether they are at home or not
they labor under a curious misconcep
tion. Arthur I'endenys, writing about
this melancholy fact, declares: "Some
one once said Hint an ordinary wom
an's favorite dinner is an egg In a
drawing room. All women have a pas
sion for something on a tray. To the
masculine mind thlugs on a tray are
unsatisfying, but to the feminine body
they embody the very manna from
heaven." It is easy to understand thut
Arthur rcudenys or any other "mas
culine mind" might have trouble in
comprehending the why and where
fore of this debilitated taste, but no
woman would be at a loss to expluin
it. It comes from the fatigue which
woman suffers as the result of her co
lossal task of feeding man. To nour
ish the human race Is the appointed
work of woman. At the very incep
tion of life this Is her labor, nnd never
can existence be so fine, so free, so
heroic or so beautiful that she must
not pause three t lilies a day or more
to bend her mind to the menu that
shall please her lord. She has been ac
cused of writing no epics. It is said
(hat she Is incapable of composing an
oratorio, of designing a cathedral or
conceiving au nevoid statue or pnlnting
n picture of the first quality. The re
tort is thut she might have done some
thing of the kind if the men had not
been hungry so frequently uud so In
sistently. To be the nourisher of the
human race Is au undertaking so pto
dlgious that It is a marvel that the
mere exasperation of being chained to
the. larder hns not made fiends or lu
natics out of women, and from squaw
to countess their sufferings in this re
gard have poiuts of similarity. Is it
any wonder, then, that with the ever
hungry man out of the way'the woman
seeks escape from the tyranny of food
and "eats strawberries by moonlight
on a flowery bank?" Header Maga
zine. Peer s I'Dclliata.
Lord Byron on au interesting occa
sion displayed his remarkable pugil
istic powers, powers of which the poet
peer was very proud, as ho was of his
cricket feats and almost unrivaled pre
cision as a pistol shot. Lord Lonsdale
was riding home from a fox hunt one
day when he encountered a wagon
driver who insolently refused to make
wy for a lady driving a trap. The
noble lord got off his horse aud, with
out throwing off bis eoat, ordered the
wagoner to "put np his hands," which
he did promptly, being an expert In the
"noble art" and confident. It was a
sangulnnry fight for both eomhutunts,
but the wagoner was made to "bite
earth" and acknowledge defeat Byron

famous bruiser Jackson, aud In a his
tory of the ring his lordship's name
frequently appears as a "backer" at
prize fights. The last of the aristocratic
p:: trans of the ring was the late Sir
lames Boswell of Auchlnleck, a grand
son of the famous biographer of Dr.
Johnson. Sir James was tutored by
Jamie tioldle, for many years champion
of Scotlund, nnd the pupil was worthy

The World's Bnlldlns Wonder.
Tho bigge-t cud most mysterious
building Job on record may be said to
have been the construction of the great
wall of China, planned by the Emperor
Chin Ize Wang, 214 B. C. The length
of the wall was 1,260 miles, up bill
nnd down dale, with a width and
height of fifteen and twenty feet re
spectively. How the wall wag built
of brick and granite in a region en
tirely destitute of clay to make the
former and bare of the latter is a
problem which has never been solved.
Fifty thousand men were employed In
Its construction, and so well did they
do their work thut, although in many
places the wall hns fallen Into decay,
there are still considerable portions of
It intact.
Blatherskite.
"Blatherskite" is un AmericuDlsm,
or, rather, an old word which has sur
vived chiefly iu American usage. The
way It came to be popular here is
curious. It Is really the old Scottish
"bletherskate," from "blether," to talk
nonsense (old Norse "bhuibr," non
sense), and "skute," a term of op
probrium. In the soug "Maggie Lau
der," written about 1630, occur the
words, "Jog oh your gait, ye blether
skate," and this song was a very pop
ular one in the American camp during
the war of independence; hence the
vogue of the expressive word in its
Americanized form. 'Bletherumsklte"
was the Irish version early In the ulne
teertrh century.
IN A SHIPWRECK.
that la the Time Thnt Men Reallr
Can Knt Their Boota.
Shipwrecked persons have been kept
alive on the most repugnant and un
wholesome of foods. Probably the
hardest fare that six Btrong men and
a boy of fifteen ever kept alive on was
the dally menu of the Windsor's sur
vivors, who were cast up on the Irish
const near Killegg. They lived for six
teen days on Btewed rope yarn.
When they took the ship's small
boat they had water enough for a
month, but only a small amount of
provisions. These lasted four days.
After having nothing at all to eat for
the following two days they tried
boiling lengths of tarred hemp rope
Into pulp and swallowing it.
They had a keg of paraliln wax,
which they boiled to add to the nour
ishment. The sickness they experi
enced as a result of the diet, says
What to Knt, was only temporary, and
they landed in comparatively good
health.
Captain Maboly of tho foundered
steamer Gwaliorfl and his second of
ficer created a record by living for
sevenleen days on boot leather and a
pint of water n day each.
Of cour se no teeth can tour cowhide
boots; they hnve to be cut up aud
shredded with n knife nnd the shreds
chewed and swallowed. Boiling, even
when possible, It Is said, does no good,
but takes from the nourishment of the
boots. A few ounces of leather, being
very hard to digest, stay the stomach
f ir fifteen or twenty hours.-
A diet of boots and shoes Is one of
Hie commonest of lust resource foods,
and, though It Is hard for a well fed
person to Winglno that any one could
masticate and digest the leather, a
pair of long sea boots will keep a man
alive for a fortnight if he has n little
water.
Two nieu who went to a small Island
off the Irish coast kept themselves go
ing for ten dvs ou n diet probably
worse than tills. They landed In n
boat which was smashed by a wave on
their trying to relaunch her. nnd they
were kept on the bare rocky Island
without food.
Fortunately there was u spring ou
the Island, but nothing In the way of
sea gulls, which tliey could catch, and
nothing with which to make a lire as n
distress signal. There was not even
any shellfish, as there was no bench,
and the pair had to subsist for ten
days ou cold raw seaweed washed up
by tho tide.
The best known and most useful of
starvation diets for wrecked or cast
away people, however. Is that of bar
nacles. Three Kir,,!!.-limou and a crew
of lascars who had been forced to
abandon the sailing vessel North Star
kept themselves goiic; for more than
a week on barnacles, nnd only two of
the crew died.
The worst of this diet Is that the
barnacles give one internal cramps
and cause au Insufferable thirst, but
they do nourish the frame. Yon have
to reach under the vessel's side nnd
pull them off, taking care not to leave
the best half of tliem sticking to the
planks. Loudon Standard.
A Queer Story.
A city merchant once caused his
friends much sorrow by disappearing
In a strange fashion. He was last
hoard of nt his banker's, where he de
posited nearly 2,IHH) to his bank ac
count. Ills subsequent whereabouts
were enveloped In mystery, aud years
elapsed without any explanation be
forthcoming. Tea years later his
wife was driving through a west end
dl4r!ct when she recognized In the
iVvure of a crossing swe;'.)cr some gein
'Im.'o to thut of her husband. She
immediately stopped her carriage aud
.j, in J that the sweeper was indeed
Iier missing husband. He was In
.Uro.M to rcent her persuasion to re
..:. to his home, but eventually suc
cumbed. He afterward explained that
i .' had amassed suiiicient money to
!:'P his family iu comfort, and, tor
mented by the fear !1 1 he might be
imed to speculate Mid ose ibe whole,
he determined to dis iicu'iir and leave
them to Its enjoymcrv. He had lived
In common lodging houses and was
c .nicnt in his iiilople 1 business of ft

lils wife pnss him. nnd he hud received

Advice to Trnehers.
'Never try ti te. ca what you do not
yourself know and know well. If your
cii.iol boar 4 Insisls on your teaching
uythlng and everything decline firmly
to do it. It Is au Imposition alike on
eu:ils and teacher to tench thnt which
he does not know. Those teachers who
are strong enough should squarely re
fuse to do such work. This much need
ed reform is already beginning In oar
colleges, and I hope it will continue. It
Is a relic of mediaeval times, this idea
of professing everything. When teach
ers begin to decline work which they
cannot do well Improvements begin to
come In. If one would be a successful
teacher be must firmly refuse work
which he cannot do successfully."

Rhode and Belt.
Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Belt were
equally undemonstrative. 'A great
scheme of Rhodes was once collaps
ing when Weruher and Beit came to
the rescue and saved It. Belt for his
firm Wernber & Belt took up the
obligations. Rhodes said simply,
"That's all right," but the following
day, as Beit nnd he stood together at
the bar in the Klmberley club, ho
nbruptly asked the steward for half
a dozen promissory note forms, signed
them In blank aud stuffed them into
Bolt's pocket, saying: "You've backed
me. If things go wrong you'll want
mine too." In the success the notes
were forgotten by both and were hanfl
tt back some six months later.
DOGS OF ALASKA.
The Katlve Mongrel the IndUpen
aable Burden Benrera.
The native dog Is known us the
"husklo" or "malanioot" aud Is a
mongrel one-half tijnber wolf. Ho
has characteristics wliich especially fit
hlui for his work, lie is li'nvy set, with
a thick coating of ,. ' .. ..r. Impervi
ous to cold and w.. , i nigh wolf
In his nature to i restless,
eager to go, and w..ii a .:..ii-lent mix
ture of dog to tempi..' a fierceness uud
a treachery which milit mid some
times do become dangerous. All
this Is uuilerstood In fact, carefully
studied and watched by the Alaskan
and those qualities which manifest
themselves In fidelity and gentleness
are encouraged by kind treatment,
while the wolfish side of their nature
is quickly nnd effectually subdued by
numerous whippings. Those animals
have not yet learned to express them
selves by barking, nnd the only noise
they can mnke Is a dismal howl. It
Is a rare occurrence for them to bite
a human being, but they will fight
among themselves ou the slightest
provocation, nnd it Is not un uncom
mon sight for linlf a dozen "huskies"
to hold n pitched battle on the main
street of Fairbanks. A bucket of cold
water will generally put them to
flight, but In the majority of cases the
miners pay no attention to the melee
nnd allow the dogs to tight It out.
Tile wolf nature manifests Itself iu
their thieving propensities, and nil
food must be "cached" out of their
reach. A hungry "busklc" will open
a box of cauued beef with ease by
biting through the tin. Ho will lie
before the door of a tent or cabin, pre
tending to be asleep, when In reality
he Is waiting for n chance to ransack
the kitchen. One day I saw a miner's
dinner wrecked by his own dog, a
splendid, big, wolfish fellow, who over
turned a pot of beans and In the most
unconcerned manner walked off with
the hot bacon In his mouth. No mat
ter what depredations they may com
mit, severe punishment, so as to crip
ple or kill them, is nut of the question,
ou account of their great value In tho
transportation of supplies. It Is an In
ferior dog that Is not worth $40, nnd
many of them, say their masters, "are
not for sale."
Two good dogs can haul a man forty
or fifty miles a day on a good trail or
carry from 500 to 000 pounds of freight
about twenty miles In six hours. They
are faithful to the last degree and will
work even when weak from lack of
food. When In this condition, howev
er, they sometimes become dnngerous,
and should the driver full he may be
attacked, but these instances are rare,
and more often the dog Is sacrificed to
save his master from starvation. Mrs.
C. R. Miller In Leslie's Weekly.
The Farmer Nrom Wiser.
"You can't fool the farmer any more
on merchandise for his farm," said the
proprietor of au agricultural store as
he wroto down a large order for a cer
tain fertilizer. "Time was when you
could sell a farmer anything In the
way of fertilizer and no questions ask
ed. It was a fat time for the manu
facturers of fertilizers, but that time
Is all past. Now the man who tills the
soil must know all about what the
market offers for enriching crops. He
Insists thnt be be given the formula
of every fertilizer on the market, and
he knows whether too much phos
phorus, potash, etc., predominates, Ho
knows what his soil needs most; he
understands that certain crops de
mand a certain sort of enrichment of
the earth and that other crops necessi
tate an entirely different sort of an en
richment. In the old days he'd dump
anything on his land and trust U luck
that things would grow all right; same
way v:V.i t'jols. lie won't buy u farm
ing ;iup!emont until he has some ac
tual knowledge of Its worth. It's nil
because of the agricultural colleges
which spread agricultural Information
gratis Into the country towns, so that
a fanner can hardly help learning a
thing or two." Nov Y'ork Tress.
The Teacher' Oiit;nt.
Teaching is essentially a giviug of
oneself for others, a dally dying that
others may live, and yet renewing
one's life again that there may be
more to bestow the next day. No mat
ter how obscure and modest the place
may be where one Is nt work, If Its op
portunities are only utilized In the
right spirit It may be n center from
which the mankind of the future draws
strength nnd health. The Joy of the
teacher Is that his Ideas, his plans, his
dreams, live on in his pupils. Others
may Jealously guard their possessions.
The teacher takes pride In the abun
dance of hi gifts. ., Be does not talk
abort patents and copyrights. It
pleases him to see his pupils give body
to his thoughts and derive pleasure
and profit from fhem. Teachers, as a
rule, are of the right spirit. It wonld
be a sad day for our country If they
were not. They give freely and grow
richer the more they give. School

A Robin at the Funeral.
A few weeks ago a little dog had to
be taken by force f:-om the grave of his
mistress In I!iyi! ". churchyard, Eng

A LUCKY CHOICE.
How n Famous Ena-Uah Aathoreas
Won a Fortune In a Lottery.
Mary Russell Mltford, the English
authoress, when a child won a fortune
In a lottery. Her works comprise
poems, dramas, tales and descriptive
sketches. She wrote three tragedies
"Julian," "The Vespers of Palermo"
and "Rienzl." The last named had a
notable run ou the stage. But it Is her
tales and sketches, thrown off appar
ently with llttlo effort, but full of grace
and charm, that have given her lasting
fame. The story of the lottery Is quite
romantic. The family were In boho
straits and had come tip to dingy lodg
ings In IOiKlon. One day her tenth
birthday, ns It happened Miss Mltford
and her father were walking about
London, when he took her Into an office
where an Irish lottery was soon to bo
drawn. Pointing to some bits of print
ed paper (whose significance she had no
Idea of) that lay upon the counter, he
asked her to choose the number she
liked best as a birthday present. She
selected No. 2,224. Not being n whole
ticket, another number was suggested,
but she firmly stuck to her first choice,
pointing out that the figures cast up
to ten, the number of her years. The
office being able to complete the ticket,
the whole of It wns purchased. Time
passed on, and one Sunday morning
while preparing for church the clerk of
the lottery office appeared to tell them
that an express had Just arrived from
Dublin announcing that No. 2.224 had
drawn n prize of f 20.00(1. London Mull.
FLETCHERISM.

Henry Ward Beecber made the re
mark once in talking with friends on
helpful Christianity that "good eating
and sound digestion were positively
needed to Insure the kind of Christian
ity Christ taught."
"What shall or dare I eat?" Is a seri
ous question with many mothers, Hor
ace Fletcher tried to answer the ques
tion with a view to helping the largest
number of people putting the query,
lie said:
"Eat only In response to an actual
appetite, which will be satisfied with
plain bread and butter.
"Chew all solid food until It Is liquid
uud practically swallows Itself.
"Sip and taste all liquids that have
tuste, such as soup, lemonade, etc. Wa
ter has no taste aud can be swallowed
Immediately.
"Never take food while angry or wor
ried and only when calm. Waltlug for
the mood In connection with the appe
tite Is a speedy cure for both anger and
worry.
"Remember and practice the above
four rules, and your teeth and your
health will be fine."
These rules some time ago became
