K?NGS AMONG ELEPHANTS.
Two Fine Beamte That Had Slave? to Walk
on Them.
it was our good fortune to be present
at an important meeting of tbehhed
dah at Cbila, on the banks of the
: Ganges, where the Nepalese government
bad sent down their magnificent troop
of tame elephants for the chase of wild
ones. They were about 150 in number
magnificent, noble creatures, writes a
^contributor to the Boston Journal.
The two finest among them were the
inkings" of the troop and were called
Bijli Prasad and Narinn Gaj Prasad.
Bijli Prasad, which means "lord of
lightning," was such a grand fellow!
The width of his brows was so great
that heoould not put his head through
our hall door, and he knows to the
smallest point what, a mighty creature
bois.
Ho and, his companion, Narian Gaj
Prasad, which means 4'the peerless
lord," ure provided with two slave,
elephants* and the only dnty of the lat?
ter- ls to fetch and provide fodder for.
Bij? and Narian Gaj. They do their
-jtaty right well. At early (?awn their
mahouts, or drivers, drive them into
'^g|^ jnagles, and they work like real
slaves. They; collect the sweet sugar
canes, tearing them np hythe roots, the
young, succulent grasses and tender
leaves and heap them up in masses
which weigh about 300 pounds each.
These loads are put on their backs, and
thrice a day they gladly carry in their
- burdens and lay them at the feet of
their lords.
We went out by moonlight to see the
latter fed, and any child would enjoy
the strange sight First of all the ma?
hout makes a great big campfire of twigs
and brushwood, and on it he places a
large? fiat, iron dish, supported on two
bricks. Then he takes wheat four and
. kneads it with water into great round
' fiat cakes about an inch thick and twice
the circnnx5erence of a soup plate.
These cakes he bakes on the iron dish.
We were anxious to taste them, and
we found them very good. We punched,
out with our fingers all the nice brown
spots ?nd ate them, piping hot And to
make np to Bijli and Narian for taking
part cf their supper, we had prepared a
treat, cf. which, they are particularly
fond. From the bazaar we hid brought
great balls of : sugar cane juice boiled
down and made solid, called "goor" in
that country. Each ball was twice the
size of a tennis ball and in each wheat
caJfce.or "capati" we rolled a lump of
this molasses. You should have seen
how the big beasts enjoyed their feed
how their great, trunks rested down oa
our shoulders,, always upturned for tho
forthcoming delicacy ?
True to Instructions.
My^friend: the. newspaper man told
me a f army little story which happened
during the last election in a certain
newspa^ ofoce in this city.
They were pressed for men and had to
take on some of the old printers thai,
went out of oflioe with the arrival of the
typesetting machines. One of the edi?
torial writers wrote what he considered
a fine effort cf rhetoric, on McKinley.
Every page was sorely crowded, and the
flat had gone forth that nothing should '
be leaded, not even editorials. In tho
midst of the editorial effusion occurred
the. following sentence: "McKinley's
name led all the rest"
This piece cf copy was turned over to
ene- of the old discharged men. To
everybody's astonishment half of the
editorial in point was leaded, making a
very offending column to the eye.
% Tho old printer was sent for. Bede?
cked he had followed copy exactly.
. Asked to bring the proof, he hurried up
stairs and from a bundle of written
sheets extracted what he wanted. *
In the. meantime the editorial writer
had discovered that "led all the rest"
had been omitted entirelyr and he was
laaon^ .than ever.
"Where is the rest of that sentence?''
It?.growled when the ancient fossil ap?
peared with the copy. "You've chopped
tins ciT at 'McKinley's name. ' "
"There is the copy," said the aged
file. * 'Bight after McKinley's name yen
wrote * led all the rest,' and I leaded it,
of course."
The editorial writer had nothing more
to say after that-St Louis Republic.
Prc rsl lng the Soya! Society.
The proceedings of the Royal society
of London were not taken so seriously
150 years ago as they are now. A sail?
or who had broken his leg was advised
to send to the Royal society an account
of the remarkable manner in which he
had healed the fracture. He did so. His
story was that, having fractured his leg
by falling from the top of a mast, he
had dressed it with nothing but tar and
I oakum, which had proved so wonder?
fully efficacious that .in three days he
was abie to walk just as well as before
the accident This remarkable story
naturally caused some excitement among
the members of the society. No one had
previously suspected tar and oakum of
possessing such miraculous healing
powers. The society wrote fer further
particulars and doubted, indeed, wheth?
er the leg had been really fractured.
The truth of this part of the story, how?
ever, was proved beyond the shadow of
a. doubt. Several letters passed between
the Royal society and the humble sail?
or, who con tinned to assert most solemn
- ly that his broken leg had been treated
with tar and oakum, and with these
two applications only. Tho society
might have remained puzzled for an in?
definite period had not tbe honest sail?
or remarked in a postscript to his last
litter:
"I forgot to tell your honors that the
^leg was a wooden one." - Harper's
Bound Table.
heddie's Suggestion.
Freddie's father had just been strug?
gling with an old fashioned bureau,
and, retiring disheartened from an un
snccessful effort to open one of its com?
partments, he moved to the window,
and looking out upon the lowering sky
he exclaimed, "It's mighty strange that
the weather bureau can't give us a
change of weather. "
"Maybe," shyly interposed Freddie,
"they can't open the bureau drawers.
