In view of the vast strength pos sessed by full grown elephants. It seems at first sight almost Incredible that they can be captured In herds and quickly subdued to the will of their masters. At the. present time, in Mysore, the regular method of capturing wild elephants is for a large number of natives to go into the jungle, some mounted on tamed elephants and many on foot, and to make a great noise and hullabaloo, which results In driving herds of the wild elephants into stock ades, or often into ponds of water, which have previously been surround ed on all sides, except at the ap proaches, by immensely strong pali sades. As soon as the herd is corner ed the passages that had been left open are securely closed, and then the trained elephants are brought into play to cajole and subdue the perplexed prisoners. In India elephants are no longer captured. Nas they still are in Africa, by means of huge pitfalls In the ground. In these traps they are often seriously injured or killed. The In dian elephant is somewhat smaller than the African and differs from it In other ways as, for instance, in the fact that ( tusks are possessed only by the males, while both sexes are pro vided with them in Africa. In gen eral, also.' the tusks of African ele phants are nearly twice as large as those of their Indian relatives, a sin gle pair sometimes weighing as much as 250 or 300 pounds.

Because eels migrate only In the dark, the Danish government prevents them from leaving the Baltic sea for the ocean by suspending a line of in candescent lamps from a cable in the strait they frequent. At Close Range. "Who is that neglected looking little boy with dirt over his face?" "He is the child of the noted astron omer who lives over the way." "Oh, is he?. Come here, sonny. Run home and tell your father he doesn't need his telescope if he wants to see spots on the son." Baltimore American. Keep Your Temper. Which of all the domestic virtues is most essential to a happy married life? The ability to keep t one's temper, be yond all question. There is nothing which lends more to misery, not only ; for its possessor, but also for those about him, than an ungovernable and unreasonable tem per. No one is worse to live with than an ill tempered man. except perhaps an 111 tempered woman. Bad tempered people completely spoil the lives of those who associate with them. The feeling of strain is ever present. One never knows just when the storm will break, although appar ently the weather, metaphorically, is "set fair." Life in these circumstances is a burden almost beyond bearing. Ironical. "Don't knock on the glass with your hand you might hurt it Use a sledge hammer." That's the ironic notice to be read on the window of a Bronx vermin exterminator's shop. Inside the window are three or four ferrets, trained to hunt rats. Before the shop owner put the sign on the window tap ping on the glass to arouse the ferrets was one of the favorite sports of the neighborhood. New York Tribune. OBJECT OF EDUCATION. ' The doctrine has been held that the mind of the child is like a sheet of white paper, on . which by education we can write what characters we please. This doctrine assuredly needs qualification and correc- tion. He comes to us as a bun dle of inherited capacities and tendencies, labeled "from , the indefinite past to the indefinite future," and he makes his tran sit from the one to the other through the education of the present time. The object of that education is, or ought to be. to provide wise exercise for his ca pacities, wise direction for his tendencies and through this ex ercise and this direction to fur nish his mind with such knowl edge as may contribute to the . usefulness, the beauty and the nobleness of his life.
