Philadelphia, Dec. 17.—Fore paugh’s unmanageable elephant Chief, who has in the past few years killed and maimed a number of his keepers, was strangled to death at the winter quarters of circus yester day by order of his owner. A noose was trown over the vicious animal's neck and two powerful elephants fat, but always for bone and muscle. T have seen many valuable young ani- mals injured by excessive corn-feed- ing Now, I do not want any of the read- ers to jump to the conclusion that L am not in favor of liberal feeding, for I am and practice it always, but I know that many farmers are losing money by injudicious feeding. The margin of profit in farming is small in these days of low prices, and we need to act intelligently in all that we do and should be able to give a reason for every act we perform. It is not the man who feeds the most grain who has the most profitable stock, but the one who adapts the food to the purpose desired to be attained and who by system and regularity keeps his stock in the best condition. There is food enough wasted by unscientific feeding on many farms to make the owners comparatively rich in a score of years, if they were wise enough to save it.— Waldo T.

FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES. St. Nicholas for 1889. PEOPLE who have the idea that St. Nicholas Magy azine is only for little chil i, aren should look over the Nocoepectas of that maga- td ie zine for 1889, and they will discover that it is for children of all ages, “from five to eighty-five,” as some one recently said of it. Indeed, while St. Nicholas is designed for girls and boys, it might almost be called a “family magazine,” for the grown-up members of a household will find much to interest them in every number. The editor, Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, calls the next volume an “all-round-the- world year,” because it is to contain so many illustrated papers about the world in general—not dry geographical papers, but stories and sketches and tales of travel and adventure by land and sea—and all illus- trated by the best artists. The features will include a serial story, “How We Made the Farthest North,” by Gen. A. W. Greely, the well-known commander of, the Greely Expedition; a serial about Canada, by Mrs. Catherwood, whois writing @ . a@ serial story for The Century this year; “Indians cf the Amazon,” by Mrs. Frank R. Stockton. There are many papers about Europe, including a Christmas story of life in Norway, by H. H. Boyesen; articles on Holland and the Dutch, by Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge; “‘The Queen’s Navy,” by Lieut. F. Harrison Smith, R. N., with illustrations of many of England’s finest war ships; “The Winchester School,” illustrated by Joseph Pennell; ‘‘English Railway Trains,” by Wm. H. Rideing, etc., etc. The French papers include ‘Ferdinand de Lesseps and his two Ship Canals,” and there are several interesting contributions on German, Italian Under “Asia,”comes “Boys and Girls in China,” by Yan Phou Lee (a recent grad- uate of Yale) ; “Home Life in the East,” by Mrs. Hoiman EN 4s Hunt, and a number of pa- pers about Japan. Under “Africa” there is a sketch of Henry M. Stanley, by Noah Brooks, and several stories about Egypt. Australia is not for- & gotten, nor the islands of the % sea, and there are even to be stories of under the sea. > Of course the bulk of the contents will relate to American subjects, as usual. Mrs. Burnett, the author of “Little Lord Fauntle- roy,” contributes a story of New York called “Litfle Saint Elizabeth ;” there will be papers = describing how the govern- ment offices are conducted, papers about athletics, ama- teur photography,ete.
