One elephant, which the officer com­ manding' six-eleven battery of the Royal artillery lent to assist in extricating some camels which were being eng'ulfed in the quicksands, showed an amount of sagacity which was positively mar­ velous. It was with the utmost diffl- culty, lays a foreign exchange, that we could yet him to go near enough to at­ tach a dray rope to one camel I wanted to rescue. In spite of our being about fifty yards from the bank of the river, lie evinced the greatest anxiety, while his movements were made with ex­ treme caution. , Despite coaxing, persuasive remon­ strance, and, at last, a shower of heavy blows dealt upon his head by the exas­ perated mahout, this elephant stub­ bornly refused to go where he was wanted, but, with his trunk shoved out in front of him, kept feeling1 his way with his ponderous feet, placing them before him slowly, deliberately and methodically, treading all the while with the velvety softness of a cat and taking only one step at a time. Then suddenly he would break out into a suppressed kind of shriek and retreat backward in great haste. • When the animal had nearly com­ pleted a circuit of the ground with the same caution vand deliberation, he ad­ vanced to within ten yards of the poor camel, but not another inch would he move, though several men were walk­ ing between him and the camel with­ out any signs of the ground giving Way. THE CAMEL MARKET. Om mt tha QMETI^NM Witnessed In. Tsrttry. / I had occasion to visit Tartary some years ago, said a New Haven man re­ cently, and while there nothing inter­ ested me more than watching the na­ tives trade in camels. The camel mar­ ket is a large sqtiare in the center of the town. Here the animals are ar­ ranged in long rows, their front feet raised on a mud elevation constructed for the purpose, the object being to show' off the size and height of the creatures. The uproar and confusion of this market is tremendous, with the incessant howling of the buyers and sellers as they dispute, their chatter­ ing after they have agreed and the horrible shrieking of the animals at' having their noses pulled for the pur­ pose of making them show their agility in kneeling and rising. In order to test the strength of the camel and the burden it is capable of bearing they make it kneel and then pile one thing after another upon its back, causing it to rise under each addition until it can rise no longer. Another expedient used to test the strength of tlje animal is this: While the animal is kneeling a man gets upon his hind legs and holdB on by the long hair of its hump. If a camel can rise then it is consid­ ered an animal of superior strength. An Appropriate Motto. Upon the Temple clock in London is a singular inscription, the origin of which is said so have been a lueky ac­ cident. About two hundred years ago a master workman was employed to repair and put a new face upon the clock. When his work was nearly done he asked the benchers for an ap­ propriate motto to carve upon the base. They promised to think of one. Week after week he came for their de­ cision, but was put off. One day he found them at dinner in commons. "What motto shall I put on the clock, your lordship?" he asked of a learned judge. "Oh, go about your businessl" bis honor cried, angrily. "And very suitable for a lazy, dawdling gang!" the clockmaker is said to have mut tered as he retreated. It is certain that he carved: "Go about your busi­ ness" on the base. Russian Marriage Laws. A newly issued blue-book on mar­ riage and divorce abroad, contains one fact amongst many others not general­ ly known in this country. By the laws of Russia a man or woman must marry before eighty years of age or not marry at all, and they are algo prohibited from marrying more than four times. The blue-book is naturally full of in­ formation as regards the "prohibited" degrees. The Brazilian law permits the marriage of uncle and niece, aunt and nephew, first cousins and of brothers- in-law with sisters-in-law. In Italy the uncle and niece alliance is valid, and in France it is open to the presi­ dent to remove the prohibition against marriages between the deceased wife's sister and her brother-in-law, and be­ tween? uncle and niece and . a&nt and nephew. Origin of the Walking Stick. ' Probably the patriarch's staff was the first adaptation of tlje walking stick and from its first inception to the present day it has undergone almost endless changes. In 1701 footmen at­ tending gentlemen were forbidden to carry swords, these being replaced by a porter's staff. ' Thirty years later gentlemen were forbidden to carry swords, but allowed to carry large oak sticks. Before many years varnished and polished woods with ornamental heads came into use and in one form or another have held, their own .in public popularity. The Irish's Power. A fish exerts its great propulsive power with its tail, not its fins. The paddle wheel was made On the fin theory of propulsion, and the screw propeller had its origin in noting the action of the tail. It is now shown that the fins of the tail actually per­ form the evolutions described by the propeller blades, and that She fish in its sinuous motion through the water depends on the torsional action of the tail to give it power.

The author of "The Naturalist in L* Plata" gives an impressive description of the terror produced by the appear­ ance of a rather small hawk, of a spe­ cies unknown to him, although he !»»« seen it a hundred times. It is a marsh hawk. That is to say it seeks its prey in marshes. I have frequently seen all the inhabi­ tants of a marsh struck with panic, act­ ing as if demented and suddenly grown careless to all other dangers. On such occasions I have looked up, confident of seeing this particular hawk suspended above them in the sky. All birds that happen to be on ths wing drop into the reeds or water as if shot. Ducks away from the shore stretch out their necks horizontally and drag their bodies, as if wounded, into closer cover. Not one bird is found bold enough to rise and wheel about the marauder--a usual proceeding in the case of other hawks; while at every sudden stoop of the falcon a low cry of terror rises from the birds underneath --a sound expressive of an emotion so contagious that it quickly runs like a murmur all over the marsh, as if a gust of wind had swept jmoaning through the rushes. As long as the falcon hangs overhead, always at a height of about forty yards, threatening at intervals to dash down, this murmuring sound, made up of many hundreds of individual cries, is heard swelling and dying away, and occasionally, when he drops lower than usual, it rises to a sharp scream of ter­ ror. Sometimes, when I have been riding over marshy ground, one of these hawks has placed himself directly over my head, within fifteen or twenty yards. It has perhaps acquired the habit of following horsemen in this way, in order to strike at any birds driven up. Once my horse almost trod on a couple of snipe squatting, terrified, in the short grass. The instant they rose the hawk struck at one of them, the end of his wing smiting my cheek vio­ lently as he stooped. The snipe escaped by diving under the bridle, and im­ mediately dropped on the other side of me; and the hawk, rising, flew away. STORY OF A CAT. Canted So Much Eleetrlclty That a Car . . Is Sat oa Mrs. The efficacy of a black cat as a light­ ning rod has been too frequently the subject of discussion and assertion to be treated at length at the present time, the drift of which is to show the apt manner in which an illustration of this popular belief can be deduced from an incident that occurred on the evening of the Fourth of July to the wife of a well-known business "»»» of Washington? On the evening in question the young matron |had been expending consider­ able time and attention upon a hand­ some black cat, which she continued to stroke, notwithstanding the assertion of her family that by so doing she was charging herself with electricity. Finally after dark the young matron decided that a pleasant way of wind­ ing up the evening would be to go for a ride on the electric car to Bethesda. Accordingly, inviting two of her friends to accompany her, she set out for the ride in high spirits. The trio found places together near the middle of the car, and had gone a short distance beyond the power house when their conversation was inter­ rupted by the conductor hurriedly bending over them as though to avert some catastrophe beneath and telling them to leave the car with ali speed, as it was on fire. Scarcely had they left their seats before a sheet of flame burst through the floor just beneath the very spot over which the young matron had been sitting, the electrical apparatus beneath having ignited at that very point. ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES Tht Qntw Kffect of Fhotogiaflilag Upon Some Hiberuuaa. "I have witnessed a good many amusing incidents in the course of my career," said a New York photographer, the other day, "but I think the one that struck me as the most ludicrous occurred while I was in Siberia a few years ago. I had my camera with me, and spent considerable time in taking pictures of the people and surrounding country. I had engaged the services of two native servants, and one day, having.nothing better to do, I induced one of them to sit for his photograph. The fellow had never seen a mirror in his life, and I dare say had no concep­ tion of the degree of ugliness exhibited upon his countenance. At any rate he manifested no delight at seeing his picture, though his companion ap­ peared very much elated, and could not rest until I had taken his picture also. When the latter saw his picture he also seemed depressed. The portraits appeared to have brought to the minds of both strange revelations, and they retired to their tent in a thoughtful mood, each trying to smooth down the bushy locks which crowned their heads. Presently one of them came to me and borrowed a pair of scissors, and shortly after they re­ turned with scarcely a vestige of hair remaining on their heads and implored me to take their pictures again. The fruit of the camera was to them like the fruit of the tree of knowledge." 81& JPat It Onto Him. A doctor related -the following to a friend after visiting a widowed neigh­ bor: "While we were conversing I put my hand on a cushion and said: 'Wid­ ow, this is the nicest, softest place I ever had my hand on in *.11 my lifel* Looking benevolently at me, and at the same time flushing up a little said, In melting and winning tones: 'Doctor, give me your hand, and I'll put it on a much softer place.' In a moment of rapture, I consented, and taking my hand, she gently, very gently, Tim, and quietly, laid it on iy head, an<l burst into a laugh that's RINGING LA M •arsyet.". ;_V TIMES ARE CHANGED. Aa OM Wsaaa's Reflections «* ttsfh* •' toes of Lone Ago. "Law," said one of the ladies in Olarke county, Ind., day, according to the Loul*ville Oeip* mercial, ^gijrls are not what thay w|Jpt to be. This is the first time that 1 IMKVV beftn in town for thirty years, i had no idea that there was any carryings-on. Why, there is a man wfeo works for a living at so much per and his family has a carriage, and ih«y spend nearly everything he The dinners they have at their hopaafl are nicer than I have, and their obit- dren are dressed finer than any I erre? tew before. I reared fifteen cMlitili myself, but none of them ever had soidb clothes as those children of thfa lUEtt have. Still, all of mine now have good farms and bank accounts, and go to church, and try to be Christians. When I was married my husband had a horse and I owned a cow. They were all that we had. We rented a place, and now we not only own that plsce, bet several more in that neighborhood, b»* sides some business property is Load*** ville. I have never worked hard, ttttl have enjoyed myself in a quiet way. These people who are spending ever thing they get, and would be in a lud fix if the husband were suddenly; thrown ont of work, can hardly bp having a better time than I am, be­ cause they must be continually worry* ing as to how long they can keep it m I am positively alarmed when I TM" of it myself. These are the kind of people that fill the almshouses. Every" body can save, unless there is sidmad in the family." • ,y f A THREE-EVED LiZAROh. • 4 Oae •( the Most Striking Ctntoattlsaaf ttW' Reptilian Klnfdon. , ' / "Speaking of lizards, the queerest one we have seen for a long ,',r/ * •4- reached us the other day from New Zealand," says a scientist in the Wasltp ington correspondence of the St. Louia Globe-Democrat. "It is named tho 'cyClopean lizard' because it has a third! eye on the top of its head. However, iff - is not a true lizard, but a sort of con* nesting link between the lizards the turtles. The species is limited to aT small island near New Zealand, and il lias been rendered almost entirely e*4 tinct by hogs with a taste for its flesh.

The third eye is rudimentary, but a di»> section of its structure plainly reveals! the eye socket, the lens, and a strand of nerves connecting the visual tract odt the brain. ^ "This eye is interesting chiefly cause it corresponds to the third eye wittt which every human being is provided^ The so-called 'pineal gland' is an eye that has beeomo rudimentary.; The gland is about the size and shapft * of a pea, and is situated in the of the head.

Another. parrot was owned by a young manwi tried to teach it to welcome a rich rel tive with the words: "Good mornings nncle!"
