AN ALABAMA GARDEN.

Along apine clad hill it lies,
O’erlooked by limpid southern skies,
A spot to feast a fairy‘s eyes,
A nook of happy fancies.
The wild bee‘s mellow monotone
Here blends with bird notes zephyr blown,
And many an insect voice unknown
The harmony enhances.

The rose’s shattered splendor fiees
With lavish grace on every breeze,
And lilies sw'ay with fiexile ease

Like dryads snowy breasted;
And where gardenias drowse between
Rich curving leaves of glossy green
The cricket strikes his tamborine,

Amid the mosses nested.

Here dawn flushed myrtles interlace

And sifted sunbeams s'hyly trace

Frail arabesques, whose shifting grace
Is wrought of shade and shimmer;

At eventide scents quaint and rare

GO straying through my garden fair,

As if they sought with ’wildered air
The fireflies‘ fitful glimmer.

Oh, could some painter’s facile brush
On canvas limn my garden’s blush,
The fevered world its din would hush
To crown the high endeavor;
Or could a poet snare in rhyme
The breathings of this balmy clime,
His fame might dare tie dart of Time
And soar u'ndimmed forever!

tember.

. GAPTUWIANTS

Four days’ march inland from Quiloa,
which is on the east coast of Africa and 250
miles above Madagascar, we came into the
elephant country and made a permanent
camp. My orders from the Hamburg house
were to secure at least five elephants alive
and deliver them on board ship at Quiloa.
Our party consisted of three white men and
forty-two natives, and we had seven horses
and six teams of bullocks. Among the na-
tives were several fellows who had hunted
the big game with white men, and who were
pretty thoroughly posted as to the creatures’
habits. It would have been almost as easy
to shootan elephant as a buffalo, but to cap-
ture one alive and get him down to the coast
was a different matter. Had we had a.
couple of tame elephants the task would
have been far more simple, but there was
nothing of the kind in that part of the coun-
try. I took from the ship a large supply of
ropes, chains, tackle, straps, blocks and what-
ever elsc might come handy, and as soon as

' we had established our camp we began to
look around for game.

Almost every species of wild beast makes
some particular spot its home for a longer or
shorter period. In Africa every quadrnped
is constantly on the move, and if limited at
all it is to a large section of country instead
of a particular strip. The gnu, eland, ante-
lope, deer and buffalo go in large droves, and
never seem to tire, and the elephant will not
remain in any particular locality 'more than
a day unless there are strong reasons for it.
We had our camp in a thick grove about two
miles from a forest through which we knew
elephants ranged, and orders were given
against firing guns or moving about more
than was necessary. An elephant will take
the alarm as quick as a deer, and when once
frightened he may not cool down for hours.
After a couple of days four or five of us
made a scout to the forest, and we were dc»
lighted to find evidences that it was a favor-
ite resort. The forest was a strip about nine
miles long and two miles wide, thrusting
itself down into a great plain like a tongue.
About opposite our camp it narrowed to a

width of half a mile, and further down it *

was cut short Off, though there were groves
scattered all over the plain.

We were rejoiced to find that this strip of
forest was a veritable highway for the ele-
phants passing back and forth, while the foli-
age was their choicest food. We spent two
whole days getting the lay of the forest for
several miles, and we finally selected a par-
ticular spot to work on. It was in the nar-
rowest portion of the strip, and here we dug
two pits and concealed them so nicely that
the sharpest native would have mistrusted
nothing. When all was ready we retired
from the forest and posted a native in the
nearest grove to act as sentinel for the re-
mainder of the day. This grove was about

 

 

an acre in extent, with the trees standing '
very thick, and we were about moving Ofi’, I

after instructing the native, when we heard
a trumpet blast and a mighty rush. The
blast of a mad elephant in his native wilds is
a sound never to be forgotten. Each one of
us instantly realized that we had come upon
an old “rogue,” and that we were in deadly

peril.

An elephant who has become a crank ;

and deserted his troop or been driven away is :

more dangerous than any other living thing. .

His sole thought is to destroy, and he loses all
sense of fear. ‘

Had we been mounted we could have scat-
tered and outrun him, but we were all on
foot, and our only safety was in sticking to
the grove. When we heard him coming we

dodged right and left and hurried deep into .

the grove. The old fellow had the eyes of a
lynx, and, wheeling from his first charge, he

seemed determined to hunt us all down. .

Each one of us dodged on our own account,
thus distracting his attention, but he finally
pursued one of the natives so closely that the
man had to take to a tree. He didn’t have
his choice, either, and was unfortunately
driven to shelter in a tree about as large
around as a man’s body. He was barely out
of reach when the mad brute arrived at the
trunk, I was in a much larger tree about
forty feet away, and could plainly see the
movements of the beast. He was an old bull,
cart/yin heavy tusks, and he was mad all
over. 0 tried hard to push the tree over,
and though he could not succeed he shook
the native around. so as to give him a bad
fright.

In order to call the brute off I fired at him
several times with a revolver. Each bullet
hit him, but of course did no damage. He,
however, refused to leave the tree, and after
standing for a moment in thought he put his
shoulder against it, surged forward, and, after
swaying back and forth half a dozen times,
the tree broke short of! about ten feet from
the ground. The native was expecting it,
and as the top crashed through the trees he
caught at a limb and pulled himself into a
large tree. The elephant soon became aware
of his escape, and likewise recognized the fact
that all of us were out of his reach, and, after
trumpeting his disap intment, he slowly re-
tired and gave us opportunity to come down.
We left the grove as quietly as possible and
made haste back to camp. we must move at
once. The “rogue” elephant does not travel
about much, and his being in the grove wasa
menace to us. Should he discover our camp
he would attack us oil? hand. We at once
hitched up our teams, struck our tents, and
removed to a grove two miles away. While
not entirely safe here, we might escape ob-
servation. On two sides of us the approach
was marshy, while on the others it was rather
broken. Next day after our removal it
rained, and none of us left the grove. ,

On the morning of the second day, just as
we were rolling out of our blankets, a cry
from half a dozen natives alarmed the camp.
As I turned my eyes in that direction. and
beheld a sight which made my hair stand on
end. That “rogue” elephant was on the plain
about half a mile away and making a bee
line for our camp. He was swinging his

trunk in an angry way, and his speed was ,

something terrific. Three or four of us
sprang for our rifles, but he would have been
among-us before we could have fired a shot
had not an accident happened. He charged
at us over the marshy ground, and two hun-
dred feet from the wagons the ground grew
so soft that he sank to his knees, floundered
ahead a few feet, and then rolled over on his
left side. He was out of breath with his run
and his fall, and then was the time to take
him. As he lay there roaring his dismay and
anger, we got out the ropes and chains and
dashed for his legs. We got nooses over both
hind legs and carried the free ends to the
nearest tree, and then we had the old fellow
for sure. He was so mad that he actually
shed tears, and he trumpeted until he tired
his machine out. After we had him fast
every man out a stick, and for two hours we
beat every part of the beast we could reach.

Moreover, we walked on him, kicked him,
called him names, and degraded him in every
possible way. This was by the advice of the
natives, who said that it would soon break
his spirit and cause him to give up. All day
long the monster lay on his side in the muck,
boiling over with rage, but helpless. He put
in the night there, too, and next morning his
spirit was broken. We cast the noose free
from one leg, got a pry under his hips, and
after an hour‘s hard work put him on his feet
and got him to solid land. The fight had all
been taken out of him, and he would cower
whenever any one shook a club at him. When
the natives washed him up a dozen great scars
were revealed on his shoulders and flanks as
proofs that he was a fighter, and my head
man, who had lived in the elephant country
all his days, computed the beasts age at 11C
years.

N 0 animal becomes docile and tractable as
quick as the elephant. He must be conquered
by fear, and when once he gives in you have
only an occasional tantrum to look out for.
We kept right at our captive, flogging and
bulldozing and giving him to understand
that we were boss, and at the end of three
days he was as humble as pie. We could
make no use of him as a hunter, as we had
no rig, and as none of the men had had any
experience in driving an elephant; but we
should have no trouble in getting him to the
coast, and he was worth several thousand
dollars.

It was ten days after his capture that one
of our scouts brought word that a troop of
elephants had appeared in the forest. We
had suspected this by the uneasy movements
of our captive. It did not seem possible that
he could scent his kind four or five miles
away, but his actions went to prove that
such was the case. We had him securely
fastened by one hind leg, but he did not try
to break away. On the contrary, he acted
vexed and out of sorts, and now and then ut-
tered a blast of defiance. It was easy to see

that he would have a hostile greeting for any -

elephant coming our way.

The troop of elephants reported by the
scout numbered thirteen, and were five or
six miles above us. Mr. Williams, my assist-
ant, took a portion of the men and made a
detour so as to strike in behind the troop and
drive them down, and five or six of us sta-
tioned ourselves at the southern limit of the
forest. It was hoped that in (h‘iving the
beasts back and forth along the narrow neck
at least one of them might get a tumble into
a pit, and it was with great anxiety that we
waited their coming. It was about 4 o’clock
in the afternoon when we caught sight of
them. After they had crossed the neck we
closed up and sought to drive them back, but
they had become frightened, and the job was
too great for us.

They broke off to the right and left the
cover of the woods for the open plain, and we
felt some anxiety as we saw that they held a
straight course for our camp. The three of
us who were mounted pursued at a gallop,
and we were witnesses of a curious incident.
The troop were headed for the grove in which
we had encamped, and were about half a
mile away, when our captive “rogue” uttered
three or four shrill blasts, and suddenly ap-
peared in sight, having broken the rope which
held him to a tree. He made straight for the
troop, challenging as he came, and the beasts
no sooner saw him than they exhibited fear
and confusion. They halted, turned to the
right and the left, and were all mixed up
when the old chap came down upon themlike
a landslide. The first one he struck was a
half grown elephant, and he knocked him flat
on the grass and rolled him over and over.
Then he sailed in to clean out the shanty, and
the blows from his trunk could be heard a
mile away.

Such a cloud of dust was kicked up that we
soon lost sight of particulars, but in, a few
minutes the troop bolted off at right angles
and soon entered a grove, and We drew near
to find the old “rogue” standing over the one
he had rolled over. He seemed to be waiting
for us to come up, and after a little the na-
tive who had had most to do with him ven-
tured close up. I rode Off and got a rope,
and this was made fast to the captive’s legs,
and he was encouraged to get on his feet.
Then the old chap steered him straight for
camp while we followed, holding to the
ropes. Once or twice the kid showed a. dis-
position to bolt, but the big one gave him a
resounding whack with his trunk and curbed
his ambition. We made him fast to a tree,
and the “rogue” then took his old place with-
out a hint being given him and was re-
fastened.

It was next morning before we could ex-
amine our pits, and then we found another
captive. A big bull elephant was lying on
his side in one of them, while the other had
been avoided. This animal was in the Lon-
don Gandens for twenty years under the
name of “Old Royal,” and was afterward
sold to go to Germany. We got him out of
the pit by digging around him, and then
using a. block and tackle to lift him to his
feet. He had been three days without food
or drink when we got him out, and his spirit
was pretty well broken. His great size not
only made him an attraction in Europe, but-
one of his tusks was so singularly marked as
to excite the attention of all naturalists.
About midway of its length the left tusk had
a blood stain as big as a. silver half dollar. It
looked as fresh asif spattered on only a mo-
ment before, but it was found to extend
clear through the tusk. Our three captives
were got down to the coast Without the least
trouble, and ourl ck in making three such
captures in the s ort space of twenty days
has never been equaled by menagerie men
in any land. The old “rogue” who set out to
annihilate us brought all our good luck.—

Gardens of Babylon,

The hanging gardens of Babylon appear
to have been square, each being 400 feet in
length. They were carried in the manner of
large terraces, one above the other, till they
rose as high as the walls of the city, the
ascent being from terrace to terrace by
stairs 10 feet wide. The whole pile was sus—
tained by vast arches raised on other arches
and strengthened by a wall surrounding it
22 feet in thickness. On the top of these
arches were laid large flat stones, 16 feet long
and 4 feet broad. These were lined with
brick, closely cemented together with plaster
of bitumen,.and that covered with sheets of
lead, upon which lay the mold of the gar-
den, where there were large trees, shrubs and
flowers, with various sorts of vegetables.
There were five of these gardens, each con-
taining about four acres, and disposed in the
form of an amphitheatre.

THE MAN IN ROOM ONE.
He Rises to a Question of Privilege and
Makes a. “Ringing Speech."

It was at a hotel in Manistee, one of those
badly planned houses where the sounds from
the bar room and office reverberate through
the upper floors. The hour was past mid-
night and a party sitting in the office were
listening to the experiences told by a loud
spoken guest. The electric bell sounded a
call from Room No. 1. The pdrter went up
to see about it and was spoken to as follows:
“Give the compliments of the man in room
No. l to the gentleman speaking below.
Kept awake by the sound of the gentleman’s
voice, this man requests him to talk down
cellar instead of up stairs.”

The porter failed to render the message as
politely as it was given him, and of course
the talking was kept up with more energy
than ever.

After a while a bare legged figure in a fian-
ncl night robe appeared upon the stairway,
and, speaking iii a voice rich with entreaty,
said: “Fellow citizens, permit me to intro-
duce to this meeting the Man in Room No. 1.
He is not as much of a man as he thought he
was when he saw Room No. 1 put down
against his name. [Applause] Then he be
lieved himself to be some punkins, and the
landlord an intelligent and discerning per-
son. [Hisses] He now feels himself to be a
badly trapped fly and the landlord a diabol-
ical spider. [Renewed applause] Whexf he
walked up to the desk and registered a siren
song worded like this rang in his ears:

“ ‘Will you walk into Room One,‘
Said the landlord to the guest.
“Kept for an honor’d one?
Therein you‘ll sweetly rest.‘ "

Cries of “Goodl” “Give us s‘morel” etc.

“Room One,” the man went on, “is down
for a call at 4 o’clock; wherefore [‘Ohl Ohl]
I rise [manifestations] to remark that my
honorable friend, the distinguished gentle-
man who last addressed you [Ratsl’], is an or-
ator of force, and the Man in Room One
yields to him. The voice of the honorable
gentleman, as it is heard on this floor, may
be soft and persuasive; but as heard in Room
One, it is a trumpet attuned to waken the
landlord’s most honorol guest. [Derisive
laughterJ Room One, fellow citizens, is at
the head of this imposing stairway, ascend—
ing from this magnificent office, to which
the adjacent dining hall, the palatial bar
room and the reverberant billiard saloon act
as sounding boards. [A voice: ‘He’s in the
soup,’ and laughter.]

“Some of you may place faith in the super-
stition about the number thirteen. Such
might regard an assignment to room 13 as a
presage of bad luck. [Acquiescence] As a
choice between them avoid Room One as the
unluckiest of the two. [Sensation] I might
say more, gentlemen, but you perceive the
situation, and the hour is, ah—late. [‘Go on,
go on.’] Permit me to retire to the repose of
private life, and yield a measure of your sym-
pathy to the Man in Room One.” [Loud ap-
plause, followed by the adoption of a resolu-
tion of condolence and immediate adjourn-
menial—Detroit Free Press.

Mechanical Clocks.

“Mechanical clocks,” said a local horolo-
gist, “are greatly in demand all the year
round. They are mostly imported and range
in price up to $75 each. Oh, as to styles,
there are many, representing nearly every-
thing in art or nature. Some jewelers keep
a large assortment of these horological curiosi-
ties. A good deal of advertising is done by
means of mechanical clocks. They look like
toys, but they are excellent time keepers, and
placed in store windows attract considerable
attention. I have seen crowds standing in
front of these curious clocks, watching the
movements. It may be a gilded maiden
swinging to and fro, or listening to the sweet
music of a chime of bells ringing as the pen-
dulum oscillates. Yes, the mechanical de-
vices are very popular as advertising schemes.
In some of the clocks the mechanism has its
own separate spring, while in others the same
power runs both that and the time keeping
movement”

“Who are the best customers for mechan‘
ical clocks?”

“That depends on the style Of the clock.
You see that artistic little boiler all in nice
working order. Well, a contractor or build-
er will come along and snap it up for his of-
fice sure. So with the others. Some aesthet-
ic wookworker will buy that handsaw clock,
a machinist will fall in love with that trip-
hammer movement, while the pretty little
windmill will, perhaps, gladden the heart of
some western miller on the lookout for nov-
elties in his line. ”—Boston Globe.

Spinning a KissIesippi Yarn.

A story is told of a traveler on a very slow
train who asked the conductor what the
trouble was, when the engine gave a dozen or
more sharp toots with the whistle, and was
infomed that there was a cow on tin track,
and when shortly after the whistle sounded
for a station the weary traveler said: “I
wonder if we have caught up to that cow
again.” This is a very old yarn and has al-
ways sounded like a fable. Jack Richard-
son, however, tells a story which seems like
a libel on the great Father of Waters, and
which also implicates some bovines. Mr.

Richardson, who was former] a Chicago
newspaper man, but is now a flu fledged ed‘
itor and proprietor of a dail in Wichita,

Kan, paid Chicago a visit, an in recounting
some reminiscences told of a trip he made
down the Mississippi during low water. Jack
says that they had considerable trouble all
the way down, but when. near La Cross the
climax was reached. The time was neces-
sarily very slow, but the greatest delay was
caused by cows. Every mile or two the slow
progress of the boot had to be stopped on-
tirely, while the deck bands rolled up their
pants, waded out and drove a herd of cattle
from the channel so the steamer could get
by. Jack did not use to tell such stories be-
fore he went to Kansas, but he told this and
never blushed—Chicago Herald.

 

Troubles, from False Tooth.
Dentists generally hold that false teeth on
rubber plates are incapable of causing mouth
or throat troubles, such as inflammatims,

’ ulcerations and the like. Theoretically well

 

made plates of good rubber ought to be inno-
cent of any harm, but practical experience
has taught that they are not invariably so,
and, more than that, there is reason to bo-
lievo that gold plates may in occasional in-
stances cause considerable irritation. Dr.
Cutter, of New York, suggests that the
harmful effects are the result of a galvanic
action. That, he thinks, in the case of rub-
ber plates make the mercury soluble. As for
the common gold plates, he states that gold,
silver or copper, zinc and platinum enter

' into their composition, hence they must also

be liable to galvanic action under the influ-
ence of mouth juices, foods and drinks. For
this reason the substitution of silicon plates is
advised. Where they have been tried they
have given eminent satisfaction and proved
to be entirely free from the objections found
in the other plates in common use—Boston
Herald. .

The smallest screws in the world are made
in a watch factory. They are cut from steel
wire by a machine, but as the chips fall down
from the knife it looksas if the operative was
simply cutting up the wire for fun. One
thing is certain, no screws can be seen, and
vet a screw is made every third operation.
