THE ELEPHANT.

ii ii il i .11 ii u. Sufferloh,
"The elephant Is the best natured
beast In all wild crentlon," said a cir?
cus man. "Most pcoplo havo an Idea
that the big beast Is apt to go wrong
nny time and hinke all kinds of trouble
for everybody. Now, as a matter of
fnct, I bnve never but onco seen a
freak of this kind. Then the result
was directly due to the Intolerable
abuse of flat headed grooms. It seems
to me tbnt If some one was putting a
steel point or hook Into a soft Joint of
yours or mine many times a day and
without nny good reason for It wo
would show temper and tear up things
too. The only difference Is the ele?
phant has more pntlence. He is docile,
obedient and long suffering. When
an elephant gets a little out of sorts
there is always some lightweight at?
tendant. It seems, to fly oft and say ho
is 'daffy.' Ninety-nine times out of a
hundred the poor elephant has been
badly treated,, and, as be cannot talk,
ho does about the only thing he can do
and trumpets his disgust or possibly
goes a step further and eases bis feel?
ings by taking a crack with his trunk
at something within roach. Elephants
are as kind hearted and tender as wo
men and respond to Uttlo attentions
the same way, and In the same way,
Just like a woman, when they get sour?
ed, It takes a loug while to sweetea
Ibem again If It can bo done at all."?

when ono of the secretaries of the navy

an order to that effect was promulgat?

afforded the secretary when ha receiv?

In olileu Timm,
Douglas, carl of Morton, wore a lint
It wus termed by the writers of the
period n "steeple" or "sugar lonf" lint
ami possessed n high, conn shaped,
crown ninl n hnrroW brim. Tbc effect
produced by sueb n lint upon tbo ljoad
of a very tail man was more striking
than artistic. Stubb?. uses these word$
In describing the lints of his day;
'Sometimes they use them sharp ou
tbo crown, perking up like tbo shnft of
a steeple, standing n quarter of a yard
above the crown of their bends, somo
more, some U-s.*, to pleaso the fantasies
I of their wavering minds. Rome nro of
silk, some are of velvet, some of taf?
feta, some sarcenet, some of wool and,
which is more curious, some of a cer?
tain kind of line hair, These they call
beaver hnts, of 20, 30, 4/) shillings
apiece, fetched from beyond tlio sea,
whence a great sort of other varieties
do. come. And so common a thing It Is
thnt every serving man, countryman
and other, even all Indifferently do
wear these bats."
In rtnneho's "Cyclopaedia of Cos
tr.mo" is shown n high crowned hat
worn by Howard, enrl of Northampton,
died 1014, nnd p decided "chimney pot"
hnt worn by Thomas Cecil, first enrl of
Exeter, riled 1U2?. It Is turned up be
! bind, nnd has a silk band gracefully
wound about It. The brim is a Uttls
bent In front, giving to tho contour
i quite a "lino of beatify."
A song by Ileywood testifies to the

I A hot called variously a copotnln,
capo tn In and coptabke was worn In the
reign of Elizabeth and hsr successor.
It Is uncertain what form these hnts
really took, but there Is a strong pre?
sumption thnt they were hats with
high conical crowns, in shape resem?
bling thpso wotn by the Welsh pens-"
ants of today. If so they were common
throughout^tbe reign of James I. nnd
wore designated by Bnlwer fn 1053
tugar loaf hats, which, according to his
account, became fnshlonablo again In
the reign of Charles I., being worn both
by men and women. He says, "What
were our sugar loaf hats so mightily
affected of late both by men and wo?
men, so Incommodious for us that every
pnffo of wind deprived us of them, re?
quiring the employment of one hand to
Weep them on?'--St. James' Gazette

Cattle seek the woods and shaded
spots when the sun begins to show Its
fury, but they are soon driveu out by
a more demlly enemy, the armies of
bloodthirsty nnd keenly weapoiic>t In?
sects, nnd resort to the hills. Curiously
enough, many insects prefer keeping In
the ahnde to quenching their thirst
with blood. When the cat?!$ seek tho
pools nnd streams ilsb gather ground
to snap up the flies .killed by tho tails
of tho beasts.
Fishermen see deer along Adiron?
dack nnd Maine lakes nnd streams hi
the hot days of summer. The deer In
the streams nibble at a Illy pad now

or the opposite shore.
No mammal bears the beat ao well
as domestic cat!. When dogs seek the
shnde cats stretch themselves out in
the sun, and not till dogs pant in the
shade will they move into the shadow.
When it is hot cats drink a good deal
nnd lie quietly in a sort of doze, as If
thinking of ice .heaps nnd snowdrifts.
According to an animal collector, the
polar bears seem to enjoy tho boat of
midsummer. When tho siin heats
dowu hottest, these thick skinned
brutes lie stretched out In the full
glare, Juat ns a dog or cat lies down
before a fire in midwinter.
Tho birds of the fields, the roadside
birds, the sparrows nnd the pigeons

KEKLHAULINQ.

Keelhauling was a method of naval
discipline particularly In vogue with
the Dutch, for ns Van Tromp swept the
clinnnel with a broom at bis masthead
his countrymen sometimes used human
Bweepers under their keels. In large
square rigged vessels the victim was
lashed to n spar nnd had Iron weights
secured to his feet; spans were secured
to this spar, and lines were led from It
to the muinynrd. When all was ready
tho culprit was swayed up to the main-,
yard, dropped into the sea nnd hauled
under the ship to the other side. Her*
Is the Why Mnrrynt describes Its oper*
atlon In thnt smnll cutter where Small*
bones suffered nnd Snnrleyow wal.
' thought to be a clog fiend. "This In- j
genious process," he writes, "Is nothing
I moro qr loss than scudding o poor navP
gator on a voyage of discovery under
tho bottom of tbo vessel, lowering him
down over tho bows and with the roped i
retaining him exactly In his position!
under Ihc keelson, while he is drawn
aft by n hnullng line until he makes
his appearance nt the rudder chains,'
' generally speaking quite out of breath,
I not at tho rapidity of his motion, but
because when so long under the water
I ho had expended nil the breath In his
' body nnd wns induced to take salt wa

"In the days of keelhauling the bot?
toms of vessels were nor. coppered, and
In consequents were nil studded with a
species of shellfish eal'-od barnacles,
which nttached themselves, and, aa
these shells were all open mouthed and
with sharp cutting points, those who
underwent this punishment, for they
were mado to hug the keelson of tho
vessel b.- the ropes nt each side faaten
