HIS FIRST ELEPHANT. Laughable Scenes in a Menagerie at Cork. An American travelling in Europe last summer wandered aimlessly into an en closure at Cork, where a travelling me nagerie chanced to be exhibiting a col lection of animals, among which was a ponderous Indian elephant, a cage of chattering monkeys and a few other living curiosities. 'I here was nothing unusual about the ?I" hu't, it was rather a poor ex hibition. One man in the thronn-, how ever, attracted the gentleman's 0 atten tontion and lie paused a moment to ob serve liim. The man was a typical Handy Andv from the country district who had never visited a city before nor seen anything more extraordinary in the shape of a quadruped than his own pet pig and the domestic animals of his landlord. He paused with wonderment before the elephant, eyeing it with suspicion and keeping it at a respectful distance as he surveyed the beast. At last his na tive curiosity got the better of him. Uncovering his head and pulling at his shaggy forelock he said, in a whisper of awe tempered with respect, but in the richest Irish brogue imaginable: "I'm after axing yer 'Oner's pardin' and phat might that be? Shurcthc two eyes of me nivvcr rested on the likes o' that before or since." I he gentleman explained that the ani mal was an elephant and a harmless beast, and to illustrate the point ap proached the creature and reached forth his hand containing a bit of something palatable, which the animal conveyed to his mouth with his trunk. The Irishman, somewhat reassured at the action, still lingered before the ele phant enclosure, gazing at the curious anatomy and ponderous bulk of the ani mal. The latter, not understanding the fixed stare of the man and anxious for another bit of food, reached out his sin uous trunk, and inserting it into the | Irishman's pocket drew forth a huge ! plug of tobacco, and swallowed it with ' the same equanimity that lie had the candies and other delicacies. Pat did not relish losing his tobacco. "Ah, ye hay then thief 1" he remarked, shaking his clinched fist at the elephant. Then in high dudgeon lie turned on his heel with the intention of visiting the cage of chattering monkeys and other curiosities. Scarcely had he tinned when the ele phant, whose palate revolted at the taste of the noxious weed, swung his trunk, and catching the man across the shoul- i ders sent him sprawling upon the ground. The blow, following the theft of the tobacco, infuriated the man, and spring ing to his feet lie cried in a rage, "And yez would be nfther sthiiking me, ye thaving, inurthering lump o' blackness; I'll pay yez well for the dishonor of a blow, ye misbeshapen brute, and if I could till which end yer tail was on now I'd punch yer snoot."—[Now York Her ald. All's Fair in Love. Lieutenant Garlington, who was among the hurt at Wounded Knee, is well known in Washington. It was he, it will be remembered, who was sent after General Greeley, but didn't get him. Nevertheless, he made a gallant effort, and has always been considered a very capable young officer. He is a little, blond man, of quiet manners. A ridic ulous story was told about him, which lie probably enjoyed as much as anybody. He admired very much the pretty daughter of an officer, and one morning, it was known that the. afternoon before, Mr. Garlington had been thrown from his horse while near the young lady's j house, had been badly injured, and taken ! to the house of the pretty young lady's : father to recover from his hurt. Now, ! whenever a cavalry officer is thrown | from his horse he is obliged, according ; to the articles of war, to set up the boys to champagne. So of course there was great interest shown in Mr. Garlington's mishap. His brother officers, though, thought the whole affair had rather an uncanny look, for there arc very few horses that ran throw any man who has been through the riding school at West Point, and Mr. Garlington was a crack rider even among West Pointers. The horse was placed under investigation, and found out to be an old livery-stable screw, that was quite incapable of throw ing anything; and how Mr. Garlington ever persuaded the horse to throw him remains a mystery. Also, his hurts, I which necessitated a considerable stay | at the young woman's home, turned out ! to be a slight scratch and a few bruises. It is needless to say that Mr. Garlington ! had to set up the champagne, and set ! it up a great many times, to pacify the ; unkind cavillers. —[Boston Transcript. Food Wasted in Hotels. The thing which, perhaps, strikes me most disagreeably in the American hotel j dining-room is the sight of the tremend- j ous waste of food that goes on at every j meal. No European, I suppose, can fail ; to be struck with this; but to a French man it would naturally be mostreinaik able. In France, where, I venture to say, people live as well as anywhere else, if not better, there is a perfect horror of anything like waste of good food. It is to mo, therefore, a repulsive thing to see the wanton manner in which some Amer icans will waste at one meal enough to feed several hungry fellow creatures. In the large hotels, conducted on the Amer ican plan, there arc rarely fewer than fifty different dishes on the menu at dinner-time. Every day and at every meal you may see people order three or four times us much of this food as tlicy could under any circumstances eat, and, picking at and spoiling one dish after another, send the bulk away uneaten. I am bound to say that ihis practice is not only observed in hotels where the charge is so much a day, but in those conducted on the European plan—that is to say, where you pay for everything you order. There I notice that people proceed in much the same wasteful fashion. It is evidently not u desire to have more than is paid for, but simply a bad and ugly habit. I hold that about five hundred hungry could be fed out of the waste that is going on at such large hotels as the Palmer House and the Grand Pacific Hotel of Chicago—and I have no doubt such five hundred hungry people could be found in Chicago every day.—[North American Review. A Magnanimous Merchant. On his return from a journey, a Ham burg merchant found the other day that his book-keeper had quitted his post, leaving a letter in which lie informed the principal that he had at different periods appropriated sums amounting in all to $1,125, and that he had taken $125 out of the safe before setting out for America, where he hoped to make his fortune. If lie succeeded, as he had no doubt he would, lie iutended to make complete j restitution. In the meantime he asked his late employer to look after his family, stating that his wife was innocent. The inerehant made inquiries, and heard nothing but what was favorable as to the character of tlie woman, whom he found in utter despair after reading a letter similar to the one he had received. He gave her a cheque for $250, saying he would assume that the man had de frauded him to the extent of $1,500, which he would place to the debit of his account. The wife is thus relieved from any immediate want and the merchant has offered to interest himself further on behalf of the family.—[Yankee Blade. A NIHILIST S ESCAPE. How Stepniak's Glib Tongue Got Him Out of Trouble. Sergius Stepniak, the Russian revolu tionary leader, is lecturing in this country. His lecture consists chiefly of anecdotes from his own experience as a Nihilist. Among the more interesting is that of his first arrest. With a companion he was found at work among the peasants, teaching them his unlawful ideas and making friends as well as converts. Four policemen took them to a village on the way to a prison set apart for political offenders, and stopped there for the night. Then came friends from among the peasants bringing many bottles of Russian brandy to the police, so that by midnight each ofheer was dead drunk and the prisoners were free to run. Tlicy ran, hoping to reach a larger place some distance awav, and there get horses to carry them to a railroad stution. They undertook to cross a swamp to save distance. It was a freezing night, but tho ice was in places too thin to bear their weight, so that they frequently fell into the water waist deep, and their clothing became stiff with ice. Worse than all they lost their way, and after two and a half hours came out ou a highway, but half an hour's walk from the place they had escaped from. It was now so near daylight that horses must be procured or recapture was in evitable, and yet they feared that if they applied for help in this village they would find some one who would recog nize them. There wa9 110 help for it, however, and they at once went to a house where a light was seen. A party enjoying a dance was found there. They walked in, and the first man they met was a constable from the other village, who had seen them under arrest. He looked at them suspiciously, but Stepniak walked up and greeted him enthusiastically. "But I saw you under arrest yester day," said the constable. "Certainly; but it was all a mistake. An order came from the Government ordering our release. Here is the order. We want horses," and Stepniak pulled out a copy of a song he had made, trust ing that the constable was illiterate. And so lie was; but he was sharp enough to demand that the escaped prisoners go to the village clerk, who could read. At this Stepniak and his friend deter mined to fight rather than be recaptured, but before there was a necessity for that a girl said the clerk had gone to a wed ding. That was good news, for he was sure to be drunk, and so away they went, found him so, and then, having passed his stupid scrutiny, they mounted horses and fled to a railroad station much further away than they needed to have gone. There, instead of taking a train that would carry them further away, they took a train that car ried them back near ihe scene of their escape—they doubled on their track. At one station they saw a crowd of officers watching for them, but no search was made in the cars, and they leached Moscow and friends in safety. As described by Stepuiak the life of a political outlaw is one of thrilling ex citement until he is captured; then lie is executed, commits suicide, becomes in sane, or quickly dies of hardships in prison or exile in Siberia. The Muekrat's House is High, Indian hunters say that when musk rats build their houses over two feet high it means a winter severe in pro portion to the height of the houses. This winter muskrats houses are a good deal over two feet high. There has already been an advance in prices of most furs. Sealskin has again gouc up, but this kind of fur would probably have become dearer even if the temperature had not fallen on account of the great scarcity of fur seals. It is hinted that should the sealskin now used become still scarcer the fur of another kind of seal would he used. The ring seal has a soft white fur when still a pup, and when a year old the color changes to yellowish, with here and there black spots. The l ing seals are much used by the Esquimaux for clothing, food and light, and arc the chief dependence of these people during the long winter months. Another fur-bearing animal whose ex termination is threatened in the future is the beaver. He lias been driven further and further up the Ottawa, and now the East Maine and Labrador dis trict and the Saskatchewan and Peace River are almost the only places where he can be found. In Europe, and especially on tho Conti nent, there is not much demand foi American furs this winter. Russian and Siberian varieties are prefericd, and con sequently have advanced in price. Squir rel is becoming more popular in Ger many. Foxskins are favorites in Eastern Europe, but the finest qualities arc generally shipped to the United States. —[New York Times. Cigarette Smoking Women. Cigarette smoking among women ii said to be alarmingly on the increase. Those who have acquired the habit as a rule are women moving in very good so ciety, it being, in fact, much more com mon among the upper than the middle classes. Women leading low lives arc almost always confirmed smokers of the noxious form of the weed. Peoplo pas sing one of the most fashionable apart ment houses in Boston—it is located on Beacon Hill—used to see along towards dusk every day a young woman seated in a window puffing a cigarette with an air of easy abandon. She blew the smoke through her delicate nostrils with the dreamy air of one rendered oblivious to surroundings through intense enjoy ment. It used to be a very rare thing for women to openly purchase cigarettes of tobacconists. Now it is too frequent to occasion much comment.—[Boston Traveller. A SINGULAR duel recently took place in Paris, the home of duellists, betweeu two old ladies, one CO years old and the other 71. The more sprightly of the two wounded her opponent seriously after a furious onslaught that would have dis | graced two dragoons, and the combal ! ants were separated only by the inter* ! I ference of the police. NOTES AND COMMENT& ETIIER-DRINKING has become so preva lent in Ireland that the Lord Lieutenant □as scheduled ether as poison, to be sold inly by chemists. The habit started in Draperstown, nud claims 78,852 slaves. It acts thrice as quickly from drunk to loher a* other spirits, and resembles the ipium habit in the resulting moral paralysis.

THE most lenient pawnshop in the world is the Monti di Picta in Home, es tablished in 1585.

At the 2nd of two years, if the pledge be not redeemed nor iuterest of the money paid, the pledge is sold, and the over plus of the debt is laid by for the owner who has it in his power to demand it within 100 years. STANLEY has now given up an opinion which he entertained when he set out in search of Livingstone. lie was then led to believe by the natives that a white or light-colored people would be found somewhere in central Africa. Several of the tribes had traditions of the ex istence of such a people there, and I)r. Livingstone himself heard of these tradi tions during his African wanderings. Stanley became convinced during his recent explorations that there is no white native race to lie found in the central regions of the Dark Continent. DR.ROBERT COLLYER the famous black smith preacher, lias not forgotten the trade he learned in his boyhood. Talk ing to a Chicago reporter the other day of the horseshoe he made just after the big fire, he said: "A student at Cornell wrote me offering mo SI,OOO if I would make a horseshoe. He probably thought that either I did not know how to make one or would back down, thinking it un oecomingmy diguity. In either case he was disappointed, for I made it " —and here the speaker's eyes began to twinkle —"and I don't think it was such a bad piece of workmanship, either. Could I make one now? Let some one offer me SI,OOO, and see how quick I would turn one out." A FACT which has been recently com mcnted upon is that there has been an almost entire absence of poisoning cases from adulterated candy, which were so numerous in former years. This evil at one time became so serious that an asso ciation was formed for the distinct pur pose of securing the passage of special statutes in various states making the adulteration of confectionery with any substance injurious to health punishable by a heavy fine; and for several years liberal rewards have been offered by this association, as well as by its individual members, for evidence against any offender sufficient to obtain a conviction under the laws, the association assuming the cost and responsibility of the prose cution. In New York and Brooklyn, according to the Commercial Advertiser, there are a large number of firms, in cluding all the large manufacturers of confectionery, who are pledged to the prosecutiou of all offenders against the special statutes passed by the Legislature on this subject: and by application to a member of the association any suspect ed confectionery can at once be analyzed free of charge. Why do benevolent women so seldom make provision in their wills for the benefit of their own sex? asks the New York Press. Emma Abbott, it say t, was a generous and kindly soul. Her will was in all respects not unworthy of her lovable character. The testamentary disposition of her property was gener ous in bequests to institutions of religion and charity. Yet this woman, whoso gift of song had brought her wealth, did not leave one bequest for tho benefit of any institution of charity or educa tion exclusively for women. Wealthy Mrs. Fogg recently left $200,000 by will, not to Harvard's annex, where it would benefit her own sex, but to the main Harvard College, where its beneficiaries would be young men. Of the $400,000 that she bequeathed to other educational institutions not a dollar went to a wo man's college. No doubt these ladies had a right [to do as they would with their own. llut in view of the fact that there are so many ways in which legacies of money can be of immense assistance to the cause of higher female education, the Press regrets that more wealthy wo men do not provide pecuniarily for the intellectual and moral needs of their striving sisters. W. Ci. Haligher, who lives in Salt I.ake City, where he is engaged in min ing ventures, was formerly tor ten yenrs employed iu business which took him up the Yellowstone, and has hail many ex periences with the Indiuns, besides en countering Silting Hull several times. "When I first catue in contact with Sit ting Bull," said lie, "that wily Indian was a young buck, full of fight, and had won his place as a chief by fighting. He had quite a large band at his back, and they were roaming up and down the Yellowstone, killing all the woodchop pers who were sent out to pile up fuel for the steamboats that took supplies up to Fort Henton. As he got older and had more influence Sitting Bull became more like a big general, who planned the battles, and while they were being ex ecuted remained iu the background di recting the forces. Bet he was always brutal in his atrocities. If Eastern peo ple could see a single victim of Indian savagery there would not be a philan thropist left to urge mild treatment of the Indians. I saw twelve victims of a massacre that occurred under viporish circumstances. An Indian who had met with an accident by which 0110 of his hands was wounded by his own weapon was taken into the stockade of these men in Montana. They dressed his wounds and kept him until ho recovered. One night lie got up and opened the stockade to let in a party of his Indian friends, who murdered every one of his benefac tors. The bodies were horribly gashed and mutilated. They had been scuffled, of course, but the cutting and gashing was simply indescribable. Such scenes have been so common to Western men that we have 110 other feeling toward tho Indian than that he is a bciug of such low and brutal order that nothing but death will change him." RELIGION OF JAPANESE WO MEN A Complicate,! Cult. Which Confu.c, Even the l*rle*t. The religion of the Japanese women must appear very complicated and con fused to their little giddy brains, when even the most learned priests of the country lose themselves in their, cos mogonies, their symbols,their metamor phoses of gods in that millenary chaos upon which the Buddhism of India has so strangely foisted itself without de stroying anything. Their most serious cult seems to be that of their defunct ancestors. These shades or familiar gods possess in each household a per fumed altar, before which the living pray long at morning and night, with out, however, believing absolutely in in the immortality of the scul, and in the persistence of the ego as under stood by our Occidental religions. To the religious contradictions which bathe us must be added susperstitions as old as the world, the strangest or the glooiniest.and fearful to listen to at night. Beings half gods and half ghosts haunt the black darkness; at crossways in the woods stand ancient idols gifted with singular powers; there are miraculous, stones in the depths of forests. And to i have an approximate idea of these j with small oblique eyes, one 1 must reduce to chaos all that I have just said, then try to transpose it into giddy brains that laughter prevents most of the time from thinking, ami that seem at moments to have the heedless ness of the brains of birds. Withal, they are assiduous in their attendance at all the pilgrimages,which are constant, at all the ceremonies and festivals in the temples. During the fair season they come in smiling troops, two or three times a month, from all corners of the country to pagodas deli ciously situated in the country, covering the little roads, the little bridges, with the incessant passing of their marine blue dresses, and with the wide shells of tHeir black head-dresses. In big cities, on almost every summer evening, there is a pilgrimage to some sanctuary or other—sometimes in honor of a god so ancient that nobody re members exactly his role in the world. After business of all kinds, with its bar gains and barters, has beon suspended, after the innumerable petty trades have stopped their monotonous noise, w hen the myriads of little houses and shops begin to put up their light shutter, the women dress themselves,ornament their hair with their most extravagant pins, and set out, holding at the end of flexi ble sticks great painted lanterns. The streets are filled to overflowing with their little persons, ladies or mousmis, walking slowly in sandals and exchang ing charming courtesies. With an im mense murmur of fluttering fans, of rustling silks and of laughing chatter, at dusk, by the light of the moon, or beneath the starry night, they ascend to the pagoda, where gigantic gods with horrible masks await them, half hidden behind bars of gold, in the incredible magnificence of the sanctuaries. They throw pieces of money to the priests, they pray prostrated and clapping their hands with sharp blows, clack, clack.as though their fingers were of wood. But most of the time they are chattering, turning around, thinking of something else, attempting to escape by laughter from the fear of the supernatural.— ; tier re Loti. in Harvefs Maaazine. Noble Tree Planters. I read a very interesting statement re- | ccntly that the three late Dukes of j Atliolc planted in their lifetime 14,000,- | 000 larch trees on their estates. The writer who made this statement seemed to doubt the fact on the ground that lie ! imagined that their Graces did so with their own hands, which would necessi tate each of them planting 200 trees a day for sixty years. When, however, a man is said to 44 plant " an estate it does not mean that he does so personally than, when it is said that a man 44 fur nishes " a house, he makes his own cabi nets and tables, or puts down his own carpets—though our grandfathers and grandmothers, as often as not, actually did the latter, as well as - good souls!— sewing the various strips of carpet to gether. If, however, it comes to plant ing trees with one's own hands, there is still something to be said. Charles 11. planted nearly all the trees in the avenue at Windsor with his, and some that arc now in St. James' Park; and George 111. had a mania for planting trees, as well as innumerable giape vines. Her present Majesty has planted over 5,000 trees in carious places she has visited, and the Prince of Wales cannot be very far be hind her in also doing so.—[Galignani Messenger. Demagnetizing Watches. About a dozen men make a good liv ing among the working jewelers around Maiden lane and in less pretentious lo calities by demagnetizing watches. Many people arc not aware that they should remove their watch from their pocket when they arc near a dynamo or any strong force of electricity. The or dinary watch under such circumstances easily becomes magnetized, and until demagnetized is no longer reliable as a time-keeper. This odd business is com mencing to sufTcr from the introduction of watches with insulated casts, which protect the works. These are now being I largely carried by all who go to work around electric works, and who can afford their cost. The others leave their watches behiud them when they go to work. A business strongly connected with this, but which is not followed any more for a living, is the adjustment of compasses on iron vessels alter their cargo is stowed and when they are ready to start on a voyage. The devia tion of the compass on iron vessels is so easily influenced by the nature of the cargo and the manner in which it is stowed, that nearly every captain of one luvs his compass adjusted before leaving port.—[New York News. 4 -v S.

A successful business man says iliere were two things which he learned when he was eighteen which were afterward of great use to him, namely: "Never to lose anything, and never to forget j anything." I Ail old lawyer sent him with an im portant paper with certuin instructions what to do with it. "But," intjuired the young man, "suppose I lose it, what shall I do then ?" "You must not lose it." "I don't mean to," said the young man, "but suppose I should happen to ?" "But I say you must not happen to; I shall make no provision for such an occurence; you must not lose it!" This put a new train of thought into j the young man's mind, and he found I that if he was determined to do a i thing he could do it. He made such I a provision against every contingency | that he never lost anything. He fonnd this equally true about forgetting. If a certain matter of importance was to bo remembered, he pinned it down in his mind, fastened it there and made it stay. He used to say: "When a man tells mo he forgot to do something, I tell him he might as well have said: T do not care enough about your busiuess to take the trouble to think about it agaiu.'" I once had an intelligent young man in my| employ who deemed it sufficient excuse for neglecting any important tusk to say: "I forgot it." I told him that would not answer. If he was sutti* iently interested, he would be careful to remember. It was because he did not care enough that ho forgot it. I drilled him with this truth. He worked for me three years, and during the last of the three he was utterly chauged in this respect. He did not forget a thing. His forgetting, he found, was a lazy, careless habit of the mind, which he cured.— American Grocer. Artificial Oyster Beds.
