When Its Bedtime at the Zoo.
It was sunset time in summer and

of the great cities of the world were
in yards and folds outside the build- ,'
ings. ‘When the write-r reached the
enclosure belonging to mother ele-
phant there was a large number of .
men, women and children standing
along the fence. They were very qui-
et as if they were afraid of disturbing
some one. As I stopped by the fence
and looked in the yard a small girl
touched my skirt, pursed up her mouth
and, giving me a solemn look of warn-
ing, pointed to the elephants.
Mamma elephant had her trunk
around her baby’s neck and seemed
to be whispering and encouraging him
as he rubbed his head against her
knee. He stood a moment, then raised

.

his head, flapped' his big little ears,

gave a flirt of his little cord of a tail,
and trotted off by his mother’s side
to the center of the yard, and there I
she left him and went to a pile of hay
that stood in a corner; this she took
up, bunch by bunch. with her trunk, i
so nicely that she did not drop a wisp I
of it, and spread it around her child,
who had not stirred from the spot
where she had left him.

When the hayhad been all spread
around the baby, the mother stepped
into the center and began to tread it
down with her feet, the little one fol- .
lowing her motions exactly until aI
perfectly even space had been trod”
den down; then mamma elephant step-
ped out again went to the- farther side
of the yard and fumbled about the
ground with her trunk. As she came
back her baby flourished his small
trunk and flapped his ears, making at
the same time a soft grunting sound.
as if he knew what was coming and
liked it.

This time mamma stood outside the
baby’s bed, and, beginning with the
back of his ears, blew a cloud of fine
dust into the folds of skin behind
them; then’iinto those around his legs
and under him, till he was thoroughly
powdered “for the night. This done,
she again put her trunk about his
body, the little fellow dropped to his
knees on his carefully trodden bed,
and, after a few soft pats and a few
soft grunts from his mother, he lay
as a well trained child of the elephant
family should.

The mothers work, however, was
not yet done; she took up delicately
the hay from: the edge of- the bed, and
began tossing it lightly along his sides
and up towards his” back, till his
rides no longer showed. "on

When all was done the small girl
who had warned me not to disturb the
proceedings, heaved a great sigh and
turning to me, said:

“I would just like to know what
they do it for!” So I told her. explain-
ing the habit wild animals have of
treading their beds, to make sure there
are no snakes in fire grass; the neces-
sity of dust pewdering the young,
whose skin is tender in the folds, and
who are troubled by insects; the piling
up of dry grass around them to con-
ceal them from the possible. hunter.—

Youngest of Moi: Carriers.

Andalusia, Bucks county, Pa., has a
modern boy wonder. His name is Al-
bert Francis Hofimier King; he is sev-
en years old, a real letter carrier and
so fond of work that he declines to
eat his breakfast until he has seen
his mail safely to the p'ostofiice.

Every morning at 5 o’clock the
youngster climbs out of his comforta-
ble bed and trudges down to the post-
office, a little'one. not far from 'his
home. Thepos-toffice is called Lower
Andalusia, and the mail has to be
taken to the larger office at Upper An-
dalusia. It is quite a tramp—more
than a mile—and the rpute, Uncle Sam
has decreed, must be travelled five
times every day, beginning with the
early morning trip referred to.

It makes no difference whether it is
sunshine or storm, the little fellow
trudges manfully over his route, as he
calls it, on schedule time, and has
never during the year he has acted as
mail carrier, missed a single mail or
in any way caused a single letter to be
delayed—something not very many
grown up people in the government
postal service, can truthfully say. In-
deed, so notable has this little boy’s
trustworthiness become that the .gov-
ernment officials at Washington have
heard of it and think thelittle carrier
at Andalusia is something of a juve-
nile marvel ’

" his special order

 

In connection with the boy’s work it
is worthy of note that his teachers say,
he stands very high in his studies, that
he is if anything brighter and fresher
so far as his mentality is concerned
than the majority of boys who have
no tasks to interfere with their stud-
ies, and that he is as well stocked with
ambition as most boys who boast of '
twice his years.

 

A Woman Train Dispatcher.

Miss Edith Jarnagin has been ap
pointed train despatcher of the Chat-
tanooga Southern Railway by Gen
eral Manager Hoskins. She is 19 and
a Georgia girl. She was a master of
Morse and drawing a salary as tele-
grapher at 14. About a year ago she
entered the general manager’s office
of the Chattanooga Southern, anc
General Manager Hoskins, who is
himself an old telegrapher and thor
ough railroad man, gave her every op-
portunity to develop the talent which
has been recognized by her promo-

tion to chief train despatcher. The

office is one of great responsibility,
and the safety of many lives depends

upon the efficiency and faithfulnessm

of the person who holds it. The en-
gineer and conductor can manage
their own trains, but the despatcher
manages them all. Every railrcae
has its time schedule, but if there ’24

many trains over the line, perhaps a
majority, and sometimes all of their
are OK the schedule time. Then tht
despaitcher becomes a living schedule
Not a wheel can be turned without
By the report:
from the operators along the route he
knows the position of every train, the
capacity of every engine, and of every
man; he knows the accommodation 01
every siding, the exact topography oi
the road. The train despatcher musi
combine knowledge of telegraplry, in
fallible mathematical gifts, tact. nerve
and memory. Every train is sped from
starting point to destination by the
guidance of that commanding genera
of railroad twrafiic The New Orleans
Picayune, from which these facts are
obtained. describes Miss Jarnagin as
a beautiful and amiable girl, and a
social favorite when off duty.

 

Comfort in ’l‘an Shoes.

Tan shoes are just one of the thing:
that makes life worth living when the
mercury begins to make passes at the
hundred notch in the tube. There are
always croakers about everything, and
the tan shoe comes in for its share or
abuse. The chiropodist is the mar
who says the meanest things about it
and this is odd, for if the tan shoes
are injurious to the feet as he claims,
then what is another man’s misery is
his meat, and it does look as if he
ought to know enough to keep quiei
on the subject. But he doesn’t seen:
to. and he says that there is something
used inpréparing leather for tar
shoes that hurts tender feet. All the
same, tan boots and low shoes are
more worn today than ever.

The highest priced tan leather shoes
are always of a conspicuous color
when new. Some women turn away
from them for this reason and buy the
cheaper shoes of a beautiful dark tan
or rich shade of brown. The former
grow prettier and prettier with each
polishing, while elbow grease com
bined with shoe dressing soon make:
those of cheaper grade a sight to be

More License for Women in France.

Women are slowly obtaining a few
rights in France, notes the New York
Post. A short time since they Weré
permitted to act as witnesses in 2
legal sense and to sign wills and other
legal documents. They are now to be
allowed to take part in the adminis
tration of the charities and hospitals
in Paris, being madeleligible for the
higher council of the assistance pub
lique. This concession has been ex-
tended to the sex who have contrib
uted most largely to the charitable
funds, and have taken part in house
to-house visitaztions, after a report by
Dr. Napias, w1ho eulogized the WOl‘li
of women in connection with the ad
ministration of charity in England
and the United States. He held up a
good medel to France, Miss Florence
Nightingale, and the governors of the
Paris charities considered that France
also could produce Florence Nightin-
gales if they gave their women a
chance in the work of organization.

 

Boring 3 Thunder Storm.

Thunder and lightning, through nat
ural operations, are a cause of great
alarm to many. It is seldom any per
son is injured who keeps away from
considerable metallic substances and
avoids immediate contact with the
walls of the house. The middle of the
room is in general perfectly safe and
the lower rooms are safer than the
upper. A bed removed at a slight
distance from the walls of the room
is in perfect security, even if the house
were struck. When lead is usedon
the roofs'of buildings particular care
should be taken that it [communicates
with the spouts, and by these means
with the ground. To determine the
distance of the lightning. count the
seconds between the flash and the
thunder, and reckon less than a quar-
ter of a mile for every second.—Phila~
delphia ' Ledger.

 

Correct Form in “hiking.

Fashionable folk say that it is bad
form now to keep step with a com-
panion with whom oneyis walking. It
may be bad form to keep step.‘but ii
is certainly uncomfortable not to do
so. The thing to do is to break step
and walk with a long, swinging stride.
Only persons with good, strong nerves
should adopt this fad. ,Nothing,is,more
irritating to the. average man or wo-
man than to walk with one who con-
stantly loses step.- It causes a look of
harmony. It makes a man feel like
using words he never learned in Sun-

nay School, and as for a Woman is sets ‘

her nerves on edge, and everybody
knows how that affects her.

.. Black rind White Combination.

A very pretty fashion this summer is
the combination of, black and white

goods—fine muslins and dotted swisses
with velvet or silk trimming.

A lovely model of dotted mousseline
has the skirt made perfectly plain over
a lining cf white taffeta. The corsage
Is tight fitting with the exception of a.
slight fulness in the front. The yoke,

 

of embroidered Swiss extends over the
shoulder to form epaulets and is edged
with rufiies of fine pleated lace. The
sleeves are tight fitting. Black velvet
ribbon gives the distinctive charm to
this gown and is employed for belt,
collar and band across bust.

 

A Shrewd Surmis'e.

The professor, who by the way, was
of Irish extraction, was presiding over
the class in English literature.

“What is the meaning and derivation
of the word ‘impediment’ T” .

“ ‘Impediment’ from the Latin
‘pedesfi meaning ‘feet’_ is something in
the way; literally ‘in the way of the
fee .' ” ,

“Very well, someone give me a sen?
tence using the word correctly.”

“He had an impediment in his
speech." .

“That, " quickly retorted the profess-

or, with the flash on his face which.

always heralded his wit, “must have
been the. man who never opened his,
month without putting his foot in it."

 

He Is to Be Pltied.

Among the visitors to a. fine art ex-
hibition'were tWo old ladies from the
country. They were engaged in exam.
ining with great interest the statue of
a. young Greek, underneath which were
inscribed the words: “Executed inter.
ra-cotta."

“Where is Terra Cotta?" asked the
elder of the two, turning to her com-
panion.

“I haven’t the least idea,"
the other.

' ‘.‘Ah, well,” observed the first speak-
er, “it doesn’t much signify! The poor
man who was executed is not the less
to be Pitied. Wherever it may be." ,.--

" . ‘ Silk Grenadines.

The fancy silk grenadines are lovely
this year, as indeed are all the new
grenadines. and never was there such
a. bewildering variety. The silk net
gowns from famous French atelier-s all
show different treatment of this ele-
gant diaphanous textile. At one noted
house it is black in princesse form,
over a slip of cherry-red moire. At
another it forms a lovely black-and-

white melange—the fOulldation- Lynx-y-

satin, with bodice decorations of white

crepe lisse almost hidden by black

guipure lace sprays and insertion.

Travel ‘ in Dancing.

An average waltz takes'a dancer over

about three-quarters of a mile, a
square dance makes him cover half a
mile. A girl with a. well—filled pro-
gramme travels thusin one evening:
Twelve waltzes, nine miles; four other
dances at halfa mile apiece, which is
hardly a fairly big estimate, two miles
more; the intermission stroll, and the
trips to the dressingoroom to renovate

 

A Canary Club. _
The Canary Club of Vienna have
opened a canary exhibition in that city.
The club is trying to foster canary

_ raising among working-people as an

easy method (if increasing the income
of the poor. The exhibition numbers
about 1,500 native can-aries, and more
than 500 of the Dutch variety, togeth-
er with a large number of other foreign
and domestic song birds.

A Curious Fact About Trees.
It is a curious fact that the roots
and branches of a. tree are so alike
in their nature that, if a tree be up-

rooted and turned upside down, the un- ,

derground branches will take to them-
selves the functions of roots, and the
exposed roots will in time bud and be-
come veritable branches.

Natty Short Jackets.
Little Satin Jackets in black, green,

gray, and other colors are just now in

great request- They are short, natty,
and effective en suite, with a. stylish
gown, and in every instance they have
the tailor finish and a silk lining of
contrasting color.

 

Mental Arithmetic in Indian Schooll. '.

In East India schools mental arith-
metic is a vastly more serious matter
than it is in the sohoolsof this coun-
try. Catch questions are numerous,
and pupils of ten years are taught to
carry the multiplication table up to
forty times forty.

To splice out a tingling-dish service

Strange Divorce Ctr-tom.

mestic difficulties in'Upper Burma.
When a husband finds that his better
half is not the unalloyed blessing he
had been led to think, he calls into
his house all the bid men and wonien
of his village and expresses his desire
to divorce her, and a trial by candlol
is prosecuted.

The husband and the wife are each
given a candle, which their light 11m-
ultaneously at the order of the eldest
person present and place in the middle
of the floor. Then every one in the
house sits around and watches to see
which candle burns out first. If the
wife’s does so the whus‘band has a. right
to divorce her, even against her will,
find turn her and he geigtions out of

is house without in re ado. ‘

candle burns out first, the wife has the
option and right of either refusing a
divorce or agreeing to it,._’ and turning
her husband and his relations out of
the house," which, with’all goods and
chattels it contains, becomes her per-
sonal property. - -

In Cochin-China, when husband and
wife find they can no longer agree they
give a. dinner, to which they invite
their relations and the patriarch of the
village. The latter, during the meal,
takes the chopsticks of the pair and
breaks them, and by his action they
are legally divorced.

With a certain tribe of African sav-
ages, when a husband desires to be rid
of his spouse—a fairly common occur-
rence—he takes her to the door of his
but or tent and strikes her across the
back with three rushes, three times,
crying, inhis savage tongue” at each
blow, “Wicked, naughty, bad," which
constitutes: the tribal form. of divorce.

A husband in Madagascar—'may di-
vorce his wife for the most absurdly
trivial offence. All he has to do is to
call his friends and relations ‘to the
door of his house, and in their pres-
ence give his wife a. small coin-and
push her out, saying, “Madam, I thank
you; go. An underddne dinner will
amply justify him.

When divorce is mutually agreed

their way to the temple where they
are accustomed to worship, with a
large scarf tying them together by the
arms. Kneeling before the altar they
bow three times, and having undone
the scarf, they rise and depart by dif-
ferent doors, and by this formality be-
come divorced.

 

Lovely Summer Model.

Transparent linen batistes in pale
tan, fawn, biscuit, and almond shades
are used by fashionable modistes, who
make them, up over mauve, golden
green, or cherry red silk, trimming
them either with insertions and nets
of Irish guipure lace or with narrow
ruches of silk in rows. The sleeves on
some of these gowns are very close to
the arm its entire-length, banded eith-
er with diagonal rows of insertion or"
ribbon the color of the foundation silk,
and at the wrists and on the. shoulders
are“ pleated ruches of silk to match.
Some of the round waists have tucked
plastrons and epaulets beyond made
of the batiste and bordered with inner.
tion, ribbon in rows, or one narrow
