did not drop a wibp of it and spread it around her child who had not stirred from tho spot where she had left him when tbe hay had been all apread around the baby the mother stopped into the center and began to tread it down with her feet the little one following her motions exactly till a perfeotly even space had been trodden down then mamma elephant stepped out again went to the further bide of the yard and fumbled about tbe ground with her trunk as she came baok her baby flourished bis araall trunk and flapped bia ears making at the eame time a soft granting sound as if ho knew what was coming and liked it this time mamma btood outaideir the babys bed and beginning with ihe back of bis ears blew a small cloud of fino dust into tho folds of bkin behind them then into those around bia
