Tor fh? elephant light proper the
contending pair# uro carefully trained
end proitftrod beforehand with stimulating
food and drugs, and advantage
is also taken of that, periodical frenzy
displayed in the male elephant which
is known as mtui, At buoIj a thno of
natural excitement, the elephant bo- !
ooracs floroo and forinidablo oven to
his keeper, and only to load two such
beasts forth Into tho arena, end show
them for a moment tho waving trunk
of tho distant female, produces a
degree of pugnacity which wants little I
additional encouragement.
When the light does begin, such as
<u\\\ look with pleasure on these
things, behold a eulossul duello, Tho
enormous creatures charge like mowntains
rolling together, their tuslcs i
Clash and clatter, their huge foot
delvo chasms in the dust and scatter
it in clouds; and they rear up their
hind legs ami wrestlo for mastery 1
with nn agility as astonishing us is j
their senseless fury. Tho trunk, ear j
and Hank aro tho weak places, as tho
beast well knows; and what with each j
keeping his own clear, and seeking to i
seize that of Ida opponent, so that ho
may forco him aside and drive un |
iyory Bword tip under tho elbow or i
hock, or wring olT his louthen ear,
onoundtho other proboscis Hy about
in tho air like tho arms of an lnfurl- i
utod windmill. Shrill signals of fear
or rago, of victory or defeat, accompany
tho rounds, for the wrathful
clophaut blows Ids own hat tie music
continually, and screams with tremendous
anxiety when ho is getting tho
worst of it. Presently somo advantage
is gained, and a blow or dig
which would annihilate anything but
Leviathan is dealt, whereupon, ordinarily
tho sagacious brute who has
fought In vain knows that ho is defeated
and quite declines to stand up
to any needless punishment He I
turns tall and trots oil ungainly and
discomfited ami covered with dust
and blood, an 1 pursued a littlo while
by tho victor, who soon, however, la

such a moment to slip the foot ropes

r In nil the mountain regions of H* iln,
France, Italy, ami Switzerland, their
declivities half way up from the plains
below to the snowy peaks above are
clothed with magnificent forests of a
species of chestnut, the edible fruit of
which, imported into this country, is
known as the Spanish chestnut.
"Gardner's Farmer's Dictionary"
contains the following brief description
of this "famous European tree" :
"The European, also called the
Spanish or Italian Chestnut, is of immense
size and longevity, trees being
known which have a girth of sixty
feet. Tho wood, except in very old,
trees, Is admirable, being more durable
than oak in moist situations. The
bark is also used in tanning. It prefers
a dry, sllleious soil, abounding In
sillclous matters and potash.
"The European variety is easily
raised from the seed, grows rapidly,
and hears In seven years. The Truit is
live times larger than ours and commands
a good nrlce in th n mnrl rat. I
. V? UUl? |
chestnuts are used boiled, roasted and
raw. In Southern France, Italy, &c.,
they constitute tho bread of a largo
population."
Professor Bylvester, of the Royal
flocletv has r**satly given a now solution
of the "fifteen young ladles' prob- !
Urn." The problem is this:?In a
'.tffhool of fifteen girls a rule has been
lflHd down that they shall walk out
?i-ery d?y * in rows of threes, but tbat
the same two girls shall never eomo
together twlco In the same row. Tho
rmo Is supposed to lmvo been carried
out correctly during tho six working
days of tho week, but, when the
times comes for their going to church
together on Sunday it is found to bo
utterly impossible to continue It any
further. Cantherulo have been car*

ol .Sahara covers about 2,000,000 j

covering 1 'J0,000 square miles, is below
the sea level, and a project for ,

is talked of. An engineering party to j
investigate the feasibility ol t hi* scheme
sailed from England recently for the :

that such a work can he cheaply |

A Turkish Joe Miller.
The Turks, grave and majestic as
they are oil en supposed to lit, have a
traditional Joe .Miller, one Nasr-KJJin,

teacher). And just as there was a

Christendom, llie.ro in a certain proprio- |
ty in remembering once morn any I
thing characteristic olilicm; and tins
ancient collection ol jests is worth !
something as allowing that, barbarous j
as they are, they hail some tincture ol" |
the inirlhlulness which is so important
a common bond of man to man. ll
they enjoy tun, there must be soniothing
good in thorn.
The best-known story ol Nasr-Eddin
is often iound in collections of anecdotes;
it is that ol his thrice fooling
the assembly of true believers out ol a
sermon by three successive jocular replies.
The lirst lime ho ascended the
pulpit, ho said, "O true believers! do
you know what 1 am going to say?"
They replied, "No." Whereupon he
asked, "Ol what use to preach to such
ignoramuses?" ami oaiuo down lrom
the pulpit.
The next time, when ho asked the
same question, they answered, "Yea,
wo know." Whereupon ho said it is
useless lor mo to tell you;" and came
down.
The the third time, having counseled
i n....i i.?- . i... ?
I vv?vuiur, nivj congregation prepared
an answer which they thought would
corner their joker-preacher, and said
"Some of us know, and some don't."
Whereupon ho promptly replied, "Let
those wlio know iell those who don'tj'
and oneo moio came down.
This is an easier way to save sermon,
w riling than exchange.
Some ol the stories about Nasr- i
Kddin are too much ot a bar-room <
kind tor general society, ami (also omit- j
ted in this account) are rather lUt; but i
taken together they represent the
llodia as a curious parallel, paitly to
Joe Miller and partly to such historical
