N.r. ELEPHANTS ROLLED ABOARD. How the Hig Iteasts Kmbnrked on a I Steamboat at a ChimBO Wharr. I A. yroui of i-iepliaiils made up thu earg-o which was Khiiiel for Milwau kee the other day on the steamer C'it.v of Fremont. It is selilom that such ;i i consiLnimeiit, of freight is shipped on the lake boats, and the stevedores do not hanker to handle such shipment. It knocks all the poetry out of the life on the rolling- w;ivc to tackle the cir cus elephant and drag- him over the gangplank ly the tusks. There were live elephants in the party. When they arrived at the docks t.hc question arose as to how they were to be: loaded. Tliey were too tall to walk aboard the steamer in the low gangway, and 1 he sailors were not husky enough to w heel them on lioard. Had they lseen anything but trained elephants they would have hail to swim to the Cream City or else go by land. The captain of the steamer was fti clined to believe that he had contracted for an impossible undertaking, as the animals were not sufficiently skillful to climb a rope ladder to the upjier deck. lie was sorely disappointed, as his ambition had always been to haul a menagerie out on the billows, and then he could use them to trim the vessel. Rut the trainer was not fo easily dis couraged, lie knew his bea-sts better tluin the captain did. and was. there fore, equal to the occasion, lie ordered the smallest of the troupe to lie down on the gangplank, and the animal com plied without a whimper. Tin: ele phant was then asked to roll on board, which command was also obeyed promptly. The monster brute made but two revolutions and found himself bound for Milwaukee. In telling of the novel occurrence one of the. dockmen said: "We got them on board safely by rollingthemdown the gangplank, but it was a tight squeeze for the two biggest. When the steamer felt the weight of the elephants on one side she listed some, but was properly trimmed at last, when the keeper ordered them to lie down amidships. They did as they were bid without making any bones about it. I suppose they thought they were going back to Africa. I've seen horses make more- trouble than those elephants did when lieing loaded." When the lioat got well under way and felt the swell of the water as Hie east winds blew, the elephants proved themselves good sailors, and trumpeted their delight. They looked out at the broad wasteof sea and sky, and watctTed the distant sails with as much interest as the two-legged passengers ulwve them did. The smallest one. however, when Ihe city had long leen left behind, felt somewhat uneasy. He rubbed his pon derouo stomach with his trunk, and de livered a shrill trumpeting sound, which drowned out the sound of the big whistle. The captain tried to make a dicker for the animal, as he said that iiis vocal strength far exceeded the (Kiwer of the vessel's deep-voiced fog horn. Chicago Inter Ocean. FISHES THAT CAUGHT BULLETS. A Mau-of-Warsman's Experiences In Fisli li.K While at Anchor. A group of ollicers stood on the after deck of the monitor Terror as the ves sel hiy in the Horseshoe down at Sandy Hook one afternoon just before the re cent trial of the ship's guns at sen. and discussed whether there was time to fish from the deck for awhile before dinner. The discussion brought forth a lot of naval lishing experiences. When th." grist of stories had nearly run out an ollicer, who had lieen silent up to that time, cleared his throat and said : "1 suppose some of you will laugh and sneer at my statement, but I want to declare that I have seen fish that could and did catch bullets. We have all heard of magicians who catch bul lets tired at them by memlx-rs of a squad. 1 can go that lietter by saying that I have seen fish that really did catch bullet; tired in a volley into the water from a man-of-war. It was on my latest cruise. I had just been or dered to Ihe ship. The day that I ar rived my fellow officer sa-d that they had part of the crew drawn up for re volver practice. At the close of the practice a volley was fired at an imag inary enemy. "Later in the day the officers began to fish for pleasure, and several fish were caught. In each of them was found a bullet, from the revolvers that had been fired that afternoon. Of course. I snorted at the idea, and asked why they told such thingK when there were no marines on board. They tlien said they would try it again. The squad was brought up anil another volley was fired into the water. We all went to lishing right away. In less than half an hour we had two fine bass. We cut them oien. and there were the bullets. "Of course. I saw what had happened. The bullets were skipping across the wnier and finally sank, after having lost, their force. They were bright, and the fish darted for them as they do for anything bright that goes by. Never theless, I had to see. it to he convinced." "Certainly we lielieve what you have told us." spoke up a. fellow-officer of the Terror, "for we've had these odd ex periences in fishing from a man-of-war. Still, there's one thing you haven't, explained. You haven't, told us how yon sent word to those fishes to come up to the ship and be caught." X. Y. Sun. Vroff Hunting In HIrI'.

How shall we plan toget from it all that it can give? To make the very most of a single day. a holiday, a day that we are at. liberty to spend as we like, may be something of a, puzzle. It suggests the question what do you care most, about, doing with all your time? Time is the stuff of which life is made, and just to lie sure of what we care most to do with it is worth thinking about. Most young eople, and in fact pretty much all persons, have some favorite occupation or study, or both in one. some special direction in which they are strongly drawn, tliat lies outside of the daily necessary routine of work. For those who have ordinarily but lit tle leisure (and in this busy worh-a-day world this includes the majority), the indulgence of this private liking is a capital use for at least a part of the holiday. It may lead to important re sults or it may not the thing we are most eager to do may lie a mere amuse ment of which we soon tire, or it may be the thing that we were made to do, the real serious business of our lives, which circumstances have seemed to put beyond our reach, yet which per severance will enable us to achieve. However that may lie. there is no question alnuit the pleasure of doing the thing one. likes best. It may be riusic or history, or football, or wood carving, or what not there is certainly a very keen satisfaction in following one's own personal taste. And the chances are that if you are enough in earnest, something worth while will come of it. Too much is made of the motive of making money. It is well to remember that there is another kind of satisfaction in good work, in every kind of employment, done for its own sake. It does not make much difference what the work is. Any kind of useful or beautiful thing done, in the measure in which the heart, is thrown into it, doing one's very best for the. sake of seeing it well done, is good and satisfy ing. Time spent in this way is well spent. If there is any such thing as a secret of happiness, it is surely this make others happy. And all good work is an antidote for selfishness. Xot only that, but it is one of the surest, most lasting and rightful sources of con tinual happiness. To talk about, work as the leit play the best resource for enjoying a holiday, seems on the surface a contradiction. But the best nlav is not idleness merely. To be worth having, it must be some kind of activity, and to be really delightful.it must be something loved. To make the most of a holiday, then, it is quite fair to do the very thing that you care for personally, however unimportant it may appear to some.booy else. Something is due to the day itself. Is it Thanksgiving day? Are we not more ready to give thanks in sincerity for material blessings, for abundant food and rich dress, prosperity in the shape of money, houses and lands, than for better culture and richer gains in building up our own characters and lives? Yet these are worth more. Is it Christmas? Bo we think of it as a time of gifts, of merry making, of unusual gavetv and self-indulgence, or do we care first for its higher mean ings? Bo we make it a time of good will toward all. a time for earnest thought and generous deeds to pro mote the welfare of those whom we love, first, but also, so far as we may, of all our human brothers and sisters? Even on a holiday, and perhaps most on a holiday, when our time is free from ordinary claims, a l'cttle honest discus sion with one's self of the very best use-; ajid objects to which we can de vote a little of our time will not come amiss. Country (lentJeman. Ulark Men in I'ersla. Old inscriptions ajid carvings have shown that, there existed in ancient Persia members of a race of black skinned men, who possessed features resembling those, of Africans. The origin of these eople. as well as their apparent disappearance in modern times, have furnished puzzling ques tions for ethnologists. Some have sup posed that in prehistoric times the greater pa.rt of southern Asia was oc iiipied by a primitive black race, of which only vestiges remained when the empires of Babylonia and Assyria arose. Lately descendants of the black men who figured in the early history of Persia are lndieved to have been found by the Bussiim explorer, Br. lianilolT. dwelling among the moun tains near Shiraz. ejist of the Persian gulf. These people. aJ though they still form an independent group, mingle with the surrounding population, as in ancient times, and find employment at long distances from their home. Some of them are to be seen in the city of Teheran. Youth's Companion. Advantage off Sleep. In reply to the question: Is it wise for a man to deny himself and get. along with a few hours' sleep a. day, to do more work? Tesla, the great electrician, replied: "That is a great mistake. I am convinced. A man has just, so many hours to 1h- awake and the. fewer of those he uses up each day the mom days they will last, that is the longer ho will live. 1 believe, that a man might live "00 years if ho would sleep most of the time. That, is why negroes often live to advance old age. b-cause they sleep so much. It is said that Oladstone sleeps 17 hours every day; that is why his faculties arest.il! unimpaired in spite of his great age. The proper way tx economize life is to sleep every nionier.it. that is not nec essary or desirable that you should lie awake." Popular Science News.
