In training the elephant to perform tricks advantage is taken of the fact that the feet of the animal are pecul- iarly sensitive and he dreads any in- jury to them. Many of bhis tricks are based upon this principle. Thus he is made to place one foot upon a low pedestal; then the other foot is * tapped gently, and he raises this and places it beside the other—to get it out of harm's way. The hind feet are | treated similarly in turn. the front feet being hit every time they are | placed on the ground. In this way all four feet are finally placed upon the tub. The trick of inducing an ele- | simple. Animals il anything placed before them, and m is | only necessary to open a bottle of “pop” once or twice and present it by | hand when the animal may be trusted to find out for himself how to get at its conmtents. In all such cases the | essence of the training consists in infi- | nite patience, kindness and constant repetition, showing the animal over and over again how a thing is done in precisely the same way and then fore- ing him to do it himself.—Scientific American. The Old Man’s Plea. He got eight years in Sing Sing, but | nevertheless the plea for mercy of Jo- | seph ‘Amos Washington Bruen was one of the finest prose poems ever uttered | in thie general sessions of New York. The old man addressed the court as follow: “'Deed, yo’ honah, I can't say much. Mah record am sure against me. I hab served moh time than sixteen years in prison for de same offense. All I have to remark (an’ I hope yo’ honah will not be too stern) is dat I | just simply can’t keep away from a hencoop nohow when I heah dem pul- lets callin’.” Rudyard Kipling expressed the very same idea when he wrote those two familiar lines: For the wind is In the palm trees, an’ the temple bells they say: “Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay The chicken habit once formed is as tenacious and irresistible as the Burma girl habit.—Boston Globe. Can't Beat the Head Waiter. i “You can’t get ahead of a head wait- er,” said a man who spends a great | deal of time at one of the New York hotels. “Of course the tips at a hotel | like this mount up. and. as there Mei several restaurants, if you give §15 or | $20 to the head waiter of each one of | them it is too much. I sweetened one head waiter, but neglected to give the autocrat of another restaurant any- thing. Soon I found that it wa$ ver. difficult for me to get a table in that | restaurant. The head waiter would | always be looking another way or a table that I fancied had been en- gaged. I got even by giving my wait- ers extra big tips. and it -soon got so that when I entered the restaurant half a dozen upraised fingers would beckon me. But soon the head waiter was on to my game, and it got so that almost every table offered me was | claimed by the head waiter on the | ground that it was reserved.”—New York Sun. ‘; | Pullman’s Little Joke. S. 8. Beman, the architect, had the most to do with the building of the | town of Pullman, although acting on certain suggestions from the founder | of the colony. When plans had been completed and the perfunctory work of execution was' under way the archi- tect said to the car company chief: “Now that we are well started, Mr. | Pullman, I want to ask you if you have given any thought to naming the town.” “A great deal,” said Mr. Pullman “I think it is only fair that you should have recognition, and T have decided upon ‘a composite name that will im- mortalize you and myself at the same time. We will do this by taking the first syllable of my name and the last syllable of yours.”—Chicago Post. i Browning and a Cabman. The gondoliers of Venice are sup- posed to know their Tasso and Ariosto. The following little incident leads to the supposition that Browning’s “Ride to Ghent” may possibly be found in the poetic repertory of the London cabman: A neighbor one day saw Mr. Browning alight from a hansom. The cabby looked at the fare in his open palm with an air of dissatisfaction and, wheeling round, delivered himself of this parting shot: “You may be a good poet, but you're a bad pay- master.”—Mrs. Andrew Crosse in “Red Letter Days of My Life.” .

In some of his lectures Professor Robert W. Rogers of Drew Theological seminary expressed his opinion on the | loca thinks that the garden of Eden was somewhere in the region lying between the rivers Tigris aud Buphrates. In an address before the Harlem branch of the Y7 M. C. A. some years ago he said: “When the search for the holy grail ceased in the middle ages the human mind took up the problem of the loca- tion of the garden of Rden. This has been put in many places—Armenia, TUtopia, Atalantis (the prehistoric con- tinent) and equatorial Africa. Chris- topher Columbus thought that Vene- zuela was the place, and because there is an Adam's peak ou the island of Ceylon others have put the garden there. It has also been found in Pal- estine and at the north pole.”” His Calling. “What are you doing now, Wiggle- thorpe?” “Settlement work.” “Settlement work?

Titzgerald miade us laugh at dinner |today tWith a story about John Wilsom Oroker, whose pertinacity of opinion is well known. He was laying down | the law after dinner to the Duke of asserting ‘the superiority of his own information on all subjects, -haying even flatly contradicted the duke, who had ‘mentioned some incident that had taken place at the battle of Waterloo. At last the conversation turned upon the use of percussion caps- for muskets of the army when Croker again main- tained a directly opposite opinion to that which ‘was urged by the duke, who at Iast good humoredly said to nim, “My dear Croker, 1 can yield to your superfor information on most points, and you may know a great deal more of what passed at Waterloo than myself, but as a sportsman I will maintain my point about percussion caps.”—Thomas Raikes’ Journal.
