Elephant's Shower Bath.

The elephant, in a wild state, is a nocturnal animal rarely, if ever, stirring in the daylight from his haunts in the shady forest, and, when domesticated and compelled to work or travel In the day time, his enormous size and dark color cause bJm to be a great sufferer from heat. To relieve himself the animal has contracted the habit of withdrawing from his stomach a quantity of water by means of his trunk, which he then squirts over his back and sides in order, by its evaporation, to cool his skin. As this process Is repeated on an average of once in’every five minutes, and as the elephant’s aim is not good, his efforts to keep cool cause considerable inconvenience to his rldera, who are frequently sprinkled by the water, though the fluid is quite clear and has no offensive odor. The habit is acquired in domestication, for it is not known to be practiced by elephants in the wild state, and is altogether one of the most singular In natural history.—St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat.

The total production of American coal in 1895 was 171,804,702 long tons, an Increase of 19,350,000 long tons over the product of 1894. The only country exceeding this output is Great Britain, which is credited with a production of 188,277,525 tons in 1894. Of this quantity, however, 33,073,698 tons were exported, while the American product was almost wholly consumed within the United States, the exports being more than counterbalanced by our imports of foreign coal.

Pistols and Pestles. The duelling pistol now occupies its proper place, in the museum of the collector of relics of barbarism. The piatol ought to have beside it the pestle that turned out pills like bullets, to be shot like bullets at the target of the liver. But the pestle is still in evidence, and will be, probably, until everybody has tested the virtue of Ayer’s sugar coated pills. They treat the liver as a friend, not as an enemy. Instead of driving it, they coax it. They are compounded on the theory that the liver does its work thoroughly and faithfully under obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions are removed, the liver will do its daily duty. When your liver wants help, get "the pill that will,” Ayer’s Cathartic Pills..

SHE STOOD IN X RAYS,

And Thus Delayed the New Scheme of Inspecting Baggage. They had just got the new scheme for inspecting baggage by X rays in operation and the haughty young woman who had just got off the steamer was waiting to have hers inspected. Furthermore, she thought there had been more delay than was necessary and she was somewhat provoked. Consequently when one of the officials motioned her to step a little to one aide she declined to move. There was a short consultation among the officials and one of them finally advanced toward her. “If madam would kindly—he begun. “Sir!” she interrupted, haughtily. “It would be a great favor if you would move a little,” he said, rather diffidently. “Why should I?” she demanded. “It it decidedly presumptuous In you to speak to me at all. I’ve been waiting here fifteen minutes for my baggage, and during that time you haven’t done a thing but stand there and look at me and talk to the other inspectors.” “The. fact is,” explained the man in the same diffident way, as if something worried him, “that you are in the way.” “Of what?” she asked. “It seems to me that you are the most impudent set of officials that I ever knew. The idea of asking me to move as a mere matter of convenience to you! There's plenty of room to inspect the baggage without annoying me, and you ought to be at work at it now.” “But we can’t,” protested the man. “You see we don't open the trunks any more. We just put them under the X rays and inspect them that way.” “Well, why don’t you do it?” she demanded, irritably. “Because, madam—because ” The inspector fidgeted about nervously. “Because,” he continued at last, “you're standing right in the rays now, where we want to put the trunks.” There was a scream and the place was vacant.

Farmhouses in Carroll County, Maryland, are supplied with a telephone service at sls a year, and it Is said by those who have tried it that life In the country is made far more attractive when instant communication can be had with the family doctor, the poetoffice and village stores, to say nothing of an occasional chat with a distant friend. The cost of the service is more than returned in various ways. According to the census returns of 1890, the value of real property In New York was $3,025,000,000; of personal, $336,000,000. Compared with this enormous wealth that of any Western State is insignificant. Missouri, for instance, one of the richest, has real property valued at $553,000,000 and personal assessed at $289,000,000. This vast difference lias, among other things, probably bad a share in suggesting to the Populists their familiar figure of the cow with her mouth In the West, while her milk is pouring into Eastern buckets.

AT LOVES COMMAND

BY C[?] M.BR[?]ME.

CHAPTER X—(Continued.) Beatrix went in search of Mr. Lennox. She never enjoyed anything very much unless her uncle shared in it “Listen, uncle,” she said —“I have found a hero—listen to what my hero has done.” In her clear, sweet voice, that seemed to thrill with passionate emotion, she read the story again, and then she laid down the newspaper. "She was only a servant goirl, uncle; but it seems to me that the more lowly the lot, the more striking is such generosity. Had she .been rich and had influence, he might have hoped for some reward; as it was, he could not have expected any. Uncle, I am glad that I read this. I shall always believe in heroes now.” “He is a clever man as well as a good one," said Peter Lennox. “I tell you what, Beatrix —I am sure to drift into a lawsuit with the Eastern Mining Company; I shall place-it in his hands. It will be worth several hundred pounds to him." “When will that begin, uncle?” she asked. "Not for some time,” he replied. “I must have their answer first." “I should like to see Mr..Carew, and tell him what I think of him,” she said. “So should I,” added her uncle. ‘‘lf he wins my case, 1 shall be delighted. That Eastern Mining Company is a complete swindle, although I am not prepared to prove it just yet.” So saying, Peter Lennox quitted the room, leaving his niece with the newspaper still in her hand. “Beltran Carew,” she repeated to herself. “I like the name. It Is a beautiful name. ‘Beltran’ brings before me the picture of a belted knight. ‘Carew’ always had a noble sound. I wonder if I shall ever see Beltran Carew ? I wonder if he is like my ideal?” A few days after - this the Duchess of Elmslie sent to ask if Beatrix would drive out with her; and, hiring- no special engagement, she consented. “I have a whim this morning, Beatrix,” said her godmother, “and with me to have a whim means gratifying it." “What is a whim?” asked Beatrix. ‘‘l am going to see Mrs. Carew. How well you look in those trailing black laces, Beatrix. They suit you so well. Yes, I am going to see Mrs. Carew.” “Who is Mrs. Carew?” The duchess opened her fine blue eyes. “Have you not heard of Mrs. Carew?” she said. '‘Then I will tell you about her. To begin with—she is a wonderful woman, a perfect wonder. She must be more than forty; yet she has the look, the manners, and the grace of a girl of twenty. She is witty; and even her husband — whom I really consider most dense, so far as understanding goes—can understand her jests, and laughs at them. She has pretty ways; she is charming in a drawing room.” “But who is she?” asked Beatrix, almost impatiently. “You have not told me who she is.” “Mrs. Carew is an artist,” replied her grace, “but an artist such as the world does not often see. She paints portraits —and such portraits! They are masterpieces of art. She will not paint every one. She selects her subjects, I assure you. Mrs. Carew came to London some twenty-five years ago, and she has conquered her world. It is one of the things that every one wants, to have a portrait painted by Mrs. Carew. You must have yours painted, Beatrix, as Duchess of Heathland.”

CHAPTER XI. Mrs. Carew was an important unit in London society. She held ground peculiarly her own. As the duchess had said, her personal appearance was something wonderful. She had the fair, unruffled face, the clear, serene eyes and calm smile of a young girl. She was so quick, so vivacious, so animated, that it was difficult to imagine forty summers had passed over her head. She had a charm of manner that was irresistible. Every one liked Mrs. Carew. No one was jealous of her. The gentlemen admired her—ladies did the same. It was her talent that made her so popular—the bright-eyed, fairfaced lady, who wielded her brushes with almost magical skill, was a genius. Besides a bijou house in Mayfair, she had a very beautifuh villa at Kew. When she was tired of painting, tired of society, tired of the gay, brilliant world and its ways, she went thither and spent a few days in seclusion by the riverside. No one knew anything of Mrs. Carew’s past history. Her son, Beltran Carew, was one of the most promising young men in a day when many were of promise. He had been educated at Oxford, and had chosen the bar as his profession. Mrs. Carew bad many admirers, but the only reply she ever made to offers of marriage, to professions of attachment, to vows and promises, was—“My dear sir, a burned child dreads the fire.” What mystery of pain and sorrow those words covered no one knew; still, everyone instinctively trusted in her goodness, her truth and purity. The Duchess of Elmslie was very desirous of having her portrait painted, and the day had come at last when her grace decided to call. She wished to take Beatrix with her, because she knew that her face would delight Mrs. Carew. They drove together to the house in Mayfair, and found Mrs. Carew at home, but engaged. They were shown into a room filled with articles of virtu; the ceiling was painted; the hangings were of blue velvet; the light lingered on delicate pieces of statuary, on jeweled tazzas, mnrble and jasper. There was a luxurious couch in the apartment, and on it her grace sat. down to rest, for the morning was warm, and she was tired. Miss Lennox amused herself by looking at the different objects scattered on the tables. One thing struck her very much—a frame of ivory, so delicately and beautifully carved, that it seemed too fragile to be touched. It contained the photograph of a very handsome man—fair, with wholesome, healthy fairness, and with great waves of chestnut hair clustered round a broad, beautiful brow—a fair, noble, kingly face, full of grandeur, of nobility, full of broth and thought. At first she thought it must be a fancy photograph.

“I am sure this is meant for King Arthur,” she said to herself. “It is just the face for the blameless king, who strove all his life against evil. It is the best face I have seen.” Something in it charmed her. She sat bending over it, looking intently at it; and the blue eyes seemed to look back into her own with an anxiously intent gaze. “It is a fine face,” thought Beatrix. “But there are no such men In these days. The Duke of Heathland is the best specimen I know, and his face could not compare with this. I can read full vitality, strong, perfect life here, with goodness and honor. In the faces of many living men I read vanity, self-love, Indolence, or greed. King Arthur, you have a noble face, and I am the better for having seen it.” She placed the photograph on the table; the duchess was dozing calmly. A short time afterward Mrs. Carew was disengaged. Her grace and Beatrix went at once to her studio, the duchess protesting vigorously, although uncontradicted, that she had not closed her eyes. “It was not likely,” she said, “in that palace of art.” Beatrix looked on with some curiosity at the bright-eyed, graceful lady who advanced to meet them. How little did she dream that her life would run in a tangled web with that of the wonderful artist who gazed so admiringly at her! The duchess introduced Mrs. Carew to Miss Lennox, and the artist’s face paled as she looked at the lovely girl in the flush of youth and beauty. Mrs. Carew began to arrange with the duchess as to when she should begin her sittings; but while she talked to her grace she was looking the whole time at the lovely pntriclan face of “Prince Charlie's” daughter. Then, when all the arrangements were made, Mrs. Carew said laughingly: “Now that our business is concluded, will your grace allow me to show you some very beautiful sketches?” The duchess gave glad consent. “Miss Lennox, you will be pleased with these, I think,” added Mrs. Carew. She seemed to listen with some interest for Beatrix’s voice. She looked intently at her as she spoke. She watched her keenly ns she placed the sketches before her. Some were landscapes, others tigurs. “This is pretty,” said Mrs. Carew—"a little summer idyl; it is called ‘The Lovers' Quarrel.’ ” “My dear Mrs. Carew," said the duchess, “one of Miss Lennox’s peculiarities is that anything relating to love and lovers annoys and vexes her.” Such a strange light passed over the beautiful face of the artist—a strange light that seemed to flash from her eyes Into the dark beautiful ouea raised to hers. “Is that so?” she said. “So young and so capable of winning love, do you not believe in it?” “I do not believe in what the people I see call love, Mrs. Carew. I cannot say what I should think if I met with real love.” “Ah,” said the artist, quietly, “I understand!” “It is more than I do,” declared the duchess; and then the door opened, and a gentleman entered the room. CHAPTER XII. “Mother,” cried a manly, fresh, musical voice, and then the voice stopped. “I beg pardon,” he said, in an altered tone; “I thought you were alone.” Mrs. Carew turned round with a beaming smile. “Come in, Beltran,” she requested. "I am sure that the duchess and Miss Lennox will excuse you. Pray come In, my dear." “I am glad to see Mr. Carew,” said the duchess; while Beatrix, with a low, startled cry, dropped the sketch that she held in her hand. It was “King Arthur” himself, the original of the photograph, who was standing there—“ King Arthur,” whose face she had thought too beautiful and too good to be that of any mortal man! “We have met before, Mr. Carew,” remarked the duchess, good-naturedly. “Pray come in. I ought to apologize for monopolizing your mother; but I have been very anxious, and my peace of mind has only just been secured.” “I am delighted to hear it, your grace," he said; and then, looking across the robm, he saw Beatrix Lennox. Their eyes met—and his held hers captive; while one of the strangest and most solemn pauses ensued. Mrs. Carew broke it. She glanced from her son to the brilliant queen of society, and then moved slowly toward them. “Miss Lennox, permit me to introduce my son—Beltran Carew.” She wondered why the dark eyes flashed and the lovely face flushed. She was not demonstrative, “Prince Charlie’s” daughter, but she had met her hero, and her whole soul wns stirred. She held out her hand to the man who had striven so hard to save a human life—the white jeweled hand that so seldom went out in greeting. She looked up into his face. “Are you the Mr. Beltran Carew of whom I read yesterday?” she asked, and the music of her voice was dangerous—"the gentleman who gave himself such infinite trouble to save a poor girl’s life?” “Yes, I helped to’save her life,” he answered. “You are a noble man,” said Beatrix, never thinking how dangerous praise might be from such lips. “When I read that story, I said that I should like to see you and thank you. I little dreamed that I should soon be able to do so." “I have my reward,” he said, bending before her, his heart beating high and fast. At this point Mrs. Carew called her son to decide upon some designs for a picture frame, and then Beatrix was able to look at him. He seemed to her as though every moment of his life were of immense importance to him, as though every instant were filled up. The large blue eyes were bright and intent; the face was eager, earnest, ardent; the lips were clear-cut and closed firmly—there was no weakness, no vacillation about them. Presently Beltran crossed the room and spoke to her about art and pictures, and in a short time they were talking about Btrathnarn. “You lived there all those years and saw no one but the members of your own household?” he said. “Why, Miss Lea-

nox, that most have made yon a poet or a painter.” "I am afraid,” she replied, 'that it has made me somewhat of a misanthrope.” “I should not be surprised,” he laughed. ‘‘Nature haa one voice, men have another. I think if I had lived so long in solitude I shonld never have left it.” “I did not wish to do so,” said Beatrix; "it was a sad trouble to me. Wheu I first left Strathnarn and came to London,” ahe said, ‘‘my life was quite unendurable; but now I have grown accustomed to it—l like it better than I ever thought I should. I do not care for the gayeties, the pleasures, but I begin to like the activity of London life, the mental excitement.” "Beatrix,” interposed the duchess, “1 think we are trespassing on Mrs. Carew’s time.” "I hope not,” said Beatrix, rising quickly; and Mrs. Carew assured her that she was at leisure for the remainder of that morning. The Duchess of Elmslie gave Mrs. Carew and her son a very pressing invitation to dine at Elmslie House, and they accepted it. “I intend having a grand charade party or fancy ball," she said—“l think a fancy ball would be beat; and, Mr. Carew, I shall hope to have the great pleasure of your society. You must come in character.” “1 shall be very happy,” he returned. Mrs. Carew had been for some minutes intently watching the face of the lovely girl before her. She said: "Miss Lennox, I should like to ask you a favor." “I am quite sure that I should equally like to grant it," responded Beatrix. “Will you let me paint your portrait’/ It would be a labor of love." “I hardly know how to answer you. I should not object. I must ask my uncle and mamma." “They ■w ill be willing—l am sure they could not refuse. I could make such an exquisite picture if you would stand for the subject I should like to call it—what should I call it, Beltran?” “ The ‘Lotus Lily,’ ” he replied; and Mrs. Carew’s face brightened. "You always find the right designation,” she said. "The ‘Lotus Lily’—already It seems to me that you represent the flower, Miss Lennox. You will ask your relatives, and, if I see you at her grace’s, you will tell me if they consent. Good morning. I am glad that I have seen you, Miss Lennox.” Beatrix said good-by just as cordially. Then Beltran came to her again. "I shall look forward with great interest to our next meeting, Miss Lennox—l have enjoyed my morning." “So have I,” she said. (To be continued.)

WHAT THE PICTURE NEEDED

Practical Joke Played by an American Artist. A New York Sun reporter lieard an artist tell an amusing story of a prank played by a young American student In Berlin. Tlie teller of the story, with some friends, had dropped into an amusement hall, where the pritkelipal performer seemed to be a Hglitntngaketch artist, announced on the bUI as Professor So-and-so, a tall, long-haired main, whose rapid work was giving great satisfaction to the audience. His arms worked like a windmill, and the paint flew off bls brush In a steady stream. The result didn’t resemble anything until, with a quick spit-spat of the brush, he put a touch here and a touch there, and, behold, a picture! It wasn’t a work of art, to be sure, but then, the spectators were by no means critical. As the professor's arms flew around and his brush wharked the canvas, turning out new pictures In less than half a minute, the enthusiasm Increased. The profeesor »at down to rest. A well-dressed young man, evidently an American, called out in very shaky German: “O professor, you are slow and your pictures aire bad!” "Come up and try one yourself If you think so,” replied the professor. "All right,” said the young man, and while the rest of the spectators were shouting and laughing at tlie invitation, lie climbed up on the stage and took ixissesslon of the professor’s paints and easel. It was apparent tluvt he knew something about painting from tlie ease with which he liamfied his brush. After two or three preraninary motions to Umber up his arms, he turned and bowed low to the audience in tlie professor’s best manner. The caricature was appreciated, and a terrific bowl greeted him. Turning to tlie canvas, he swung his paint-lwush at a rate that imide the professor’s previous efforts seem slow by contrast. He seemed to be in a frenzy, and tlie eyes of the stolid Germans in tlie theater bulged with astonishment They forgot to drink their beer. In less than a minute the American tunned and Ixiwed again to the spectators to imply that his picture was completed, and that he awaited their decision. As he stood aside, and the canvas on which lie had Ix-on working was exposed, there was silence for a moment, and then came a storm of jeers, In which the professor Joined. The canvas was merely a blotch. Not even the wildest Imagination could trace any suggestion of a picture on it. The American looked jiaiued at his greeting, and then turned toward bls canvas. A surprised expression came over his face. That couldn't be his picture. The spectators were still Jeering him, when, as If it were a second thought, he sprang to the easel and turned tlie canvas bottom side up. The jeers were changed to cheers. The canvas now bore an excellent landscape, with no detail left out. There were trees, a stream, an old Dutch house, and in the background several cows. It had been painted coarsely, but it wtfs effective, nnd far superior to anything tlvat the professor bad turned out. While the spectators were laughing at the young American’s ready wit, be sprang oft the stage, and accompanied by several friends, left the hall. 1 learned that he was studying art in Berlin, and that he spent more time in practical jokes than at the art schools. He had fairly beaten the professor at his own game, and there were no more lightning sketches that evening.

Maxims for Statesmen.

Doctor Jewett, In one of his notebooks—he bad twenty or thirty volumes of notes and reilectlons which he had written during his life—jotted down the following maxims for state* men and others: Never quarrel. Never fear. Never explain. Never spare. Never hate. Never tell. Never fret. Never detract. Never disappoint. Never fall.

Austria's Imperial Pawnshop.

Austria has an Imperial pawnshop. It was established in Vienna in 1707, whep there was great distress among the poor in the southern part of the empire. It was designed as a way to secure to the starving some means of immediate relief, and by putting the rate of interest as low as possible and the valuations as high as possible, and embodying in the system every advantage that could be given to those who sought to make loans, It was found to be so effective that it soon gained the Imperial sanction, and it was not long until its managers were made public officials under the direction of »he Minister of the Interior. This is substantially the status of the institution at thia tjiue. The rates are so low that the business done on the cheap goods and chattels of the ;>oor eoukl not possibly make tlie establishment Bolf-austaknlng; but people who have been suddenly reduced in circumstances or who are temporarily embarrassed keep the margins on tlie right side and enable th? Institution to keep open,without tlie aid of a subsidy. In the year 1893 a total of 8(16,015 articles were pledged, and of tliese 848,5(12 were redeemed, a remarkable redemption as compared with the proportions of five average pawnshop. The unredeemed pledges were sold at public auction, nnd wltenever they brought more than the face of the pledge Hie balance was set to the account of the pietiger, to be refunded any time with in three years.—London Standard.

Didn't Give Instructions.

A Georgia man who had made a flying machine offered n negro $lO to make a trial trip in it. The negro agreed, got in position,and he and the mach'lno were hoisted by block and tackle about thirty feet from terra flrmn. When the rope was loosened the machine took a sudden slanting course toward earth and plunged into an adjacent mill pond. It disappeared with tlie negro beneath the water, while the terrified inventor stood shrieking for assistance. ITesently the negro's head bobbed up serenely, and he struck out for dry land. On arriving his first sputtering words were: "In de name er God, Marso John, why didn’t you tell dat foobthl&g whnr ter light?"
