Teeth as Big as Your Hand.
phant’s month has seen a strange
sight," said an elephant trainer of P.
W. “Elephants have no front teeth.
and they never eat flesh or an: 12-;
that requires tearing apart. Eight
teeth are all they have, two above and
below on each side, huge yellow molars
as wide as a. man’s hand and a couple
of Inches thick. -
"Over these hay or fodder is shifted
by the queerest, ugliest tongue in the
whole animal kingdom, a tongue the:
is literally hung at both ends, have:
lno power of movement except in the
middle, where it shifts back and forth
from side to side, arching up against
the roof of the big mouth like-an im-
mense wrinkled pink serpent. There
is nothing stranger than the working
of an elephant’s tongue, unless it be
the working of his breathing apps“ 1‘“ s
when he sleeps. . . .
“Elephants, like human beings, have
two sets of teeth—the milk teeth,
which are smaller than the permanent
molars, fall out when the animals are
about fourteen years old. These baby
teeth, [which are nevertheless enor-
lmous, are occasionally picked up by
circus men among the fodder and pre-
served as curiosities.”
Color. In Milllnery.
Bright tulip colors, red in Roman.
Igeranium, and other brilliant dyes,
Imauve, and tangerine yellow, are the
'most popular colors in millinery as it
is now presented. Violets, velvet, and
,Veletian lace trimmings are so fash-
ionable on bonnets and toques worn
in Paris, and sent to this country, that
notwithstanding the fact that these
'flowers decorate seven—tenths of the
headgear worn here, they are'likely to
be elected by a large portion of 0111'
best-dressed women as garnitures for
their spring ,hats and bonnets. But
the violets selected are as different
from the every-day sort, seen every:
where, as a paper rose is different from
a. genuine Jacque. The French-made
violets are soft and flexible, and per-
fect replicas of Nature’s ‘own produc-
tion. The petals are shaded and vel-
' vet-like, and many of the delicate clus-
ters are -- perfumed with the natural
odor of these modest blossoms. The!
