It was a bright, warm day in the early summer of 1781, and Lindon was fall to overflowing, when a boy about eleven years old, with long dark hair hanging down his neck, and a strange, dreamy, far-off kind ot look in his large gray eyes, came slowly along one of the busiest and most crowded streets of the great city, so wrapped up in his own thoughts that he hardly felt the jolts and bumps which he encountered in pressing hia way through the hurrying throng around him. He must have been thinking of a battle, or a hard struggle of some kind for every now and then he darted out both his arms in front of him^ to the no small danger of the eyes or ribs of the passers-by. Suddenly he was brought to a stand-still, and no wonder, for in flourishing hia hands about he had thrust one of them right into the coat packet of a tall man who was just going past him. " What so young, and so wicked " cried the man, turung round and seiz- aig him. "You little rascal, do yon want to pick my pocket in broad daylight " " No, I don't want to pick your pocket," said the boy, staring about him as if just ' awakened from a dream. " I thought I was swimming." ' Swimming I" echoed the man, with a broad laugh. •' Well, I've heard a crowd called a sea of people, but I've never heard, of anybody swimming in it before. You're either telling me a lie, or else you must be crszy." "I'm not, indeed," protested the boy. ** I was thinking of that man who swam across the Hellespont â€" Lsan^er, you know â€" 'waA. it seemed to me as if I was swimming across it too. " Oho cried the stranger that's it, is it?" You seem fond of reading, my friend " "I'd read all day long, if I could," answer- ed the boy, earnestly " but I've only got a few books, and I've read 'em all again and again." " .Veil, ni tell you whatâ€" I belong to a library, and if you like, I'll give you a tick- et of admission to it for six months, and then you can read as much as you please. Here's my address, and you can come for the ticket as soon as you like." And the stranger, chuckling over his queer adventure, wnnt briskly on, little thinkine; Aat he would live to see that boy honored by all Eaglamd as one of her greatest poets, and would tell with pride to all his friends how ho had once done a kindness to Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

We saw one beantilul elephant who was bom in the Prince's province and had never seen a jungle, but had grown up in tihejMS- ture and stable, like any other cow. When she came to see us her own little calf ^aced by her side. The calf was the little counter- part of the cow, and was a very pretty crea- ture, whom one would like for a pet. She wore draperies and frills and gold lace like her mother, with ear-rings which nearly reached to the ground, and gold bangles. She walked jauntily along, " toeing out," stiffening her knees, and holding her chin down in the most approved manner. When we offered her a bit of sponge cake, she sidled nearer, like a pet lamb, lifted the little fin- gers at the end of her trunk, and examined the cake daintily before taking it and ap parently never having seen any like it before she turned toward her mother with a questioning look. The mother elephant seemed pnzzled. She walked toward us with an expression of hesitating, anxious curiosity in her small, knowing eyes, as one may see any cow do. She held out her trunk for the cake, and the little one duti- fully gave it to her. whereupon the mother turned it over carefully, then held it up and looked at us as if for an explanation. We motioned toward the little one, to whom she promptly returned it, and then looked on contentedly while the calf enjoyed the tid- bit. This indulgence on our part Eeemed to gain the mother elephant's confidence, for she began showing off her offspring with un- mistakable pride. She pushed the little one toward us, and turned it round and round with her great trunk. When the calf de- murred she coaxed and carressed her. The cow was evidently vain Of the calf's finery, and encouratred that spoiled elephantling to flaunt her furbelows and tinkle her ear- rings. She drew our attention to the big, little fat legs of the beauty, and finally wound her trank affectionately round the small neck, lifted the little head, and show- ed us the beginniog of her baby's first tusk. We thought this gentleness and intelli- gence were due to training, as neither of these creatures had ever known the wild life of the jungjle but we had a chance later to learn that this was not altogether the case. A wild elephant cow and calf lately cap- tured were driven up to show us the dif- ference. They were both darker and very rough, lean and hungry-looking in com- parison with the domesticated ones. A strong chain tied the wild mother-elephant's fore- legs together, and she was also fastened with a strong lariat to a tame elephant. The wild baby-elephant kept close to its mother and stumbled along like a shy, awk- ward hobbledehoy. When the keepers tried to turn the wild calf towards us, and away from its mother, the little one threw back its head, stuck up its chin, and cried out loud and piteoualy. The poor mother strug- gled towards her terrified calf and the strange- looking people. The little one re- fused to be comforted, and the mother's ways of protecting and soothing it were so tender and knowing as to seem almost human. She strokeia it with her big trunk and shoved it lovingly behind her, and finally persuaded the little one to take some nourishment when it drew back .its small trunk dexterously, and drew the milk, smacking like any satufied, hungry calf. They became quieter when they saw tha^ no harm was intended them, and then the little one was more amusing than ever, run- ning under the mother and hidinf( behind her great legs, occasionally darting a shy frightened peep from behind her shelter. If we looked, or went toward her, she dodged back and hid her face, and if we took no notice she came nearer, and even stepped one foot forward in a testing, gingerly fashion. Meantime the bold town- bred elephant youngster looked on with great interest, waggling her tail, jingling her ear-rings, and tossing her trunk in high glee, apparently much amused at her coun- trified sister's awkwardness and discom- fiture.â€" [Wide Awake Pranks cf the Waves. y A man took his wife to the beach And to bathe she her spouse did beseech.

Mr Edward D. Baker. Ute deputy insieo^ or-senen} ofjoUoe In Benc«l, India, Uved for forty years *» that oonntiy. ana dmmg the whole period wm aocostomad at not in- frequent intervals to hunt the game that abmmds in the jungles on the streams there, from rinoceroseo, bnffidoes, tigen, panthers and leopards down to wild duok and snipe. He has lately written what he calls a "nittle book " covering these forty years of hunt- ing, and this little book oontaiaa foor hun- dred closely printed page*. The fact that Mr. Baker was a prominent and respeotsd official, and that in his preface he personidly vouches thatevery incident in the book is related exactly as it ooonrred, gives credenoe to narratives in his book that, 3 written by a less trostworthy hand, it would be hurd to believe, so remarkable are they. For instanee, he relates that from con- stantly pursaing tigers, he gained a sort of instinct that told him they were in the neighborhood, though he conld neither see nor hear them. He writes • I have awoke suddenly at night, and toesed in my bed, unable to resettle, for an hour or twojat a stretch, for no apparent reafon whatever •â-  and next morning have found the fresh footprints of a tiger round the outside of my bungalo or tent." Mr. Baker says that the beauty of the tiger, with the* vivid combination of black, yellow and white on his glossy skin, is ter- rible to 1 ^ok upon, to say nothipg of the malignant cunnning of his eye, and the sav- age hunger expressed in his curling lips and flashing white tiseth. A'fnll grown Bengai tiger is nsnally a trifle under ten feet long, when measured when its body is still warm. Among the hundreds which Mr. Baker has killed, a tiger of ten ieet and four inches, from nose to end of tail, was heaviest and largest. Here is Mr. B^kker's description of the derce charge of a tiger, when hunted with elephants " As a general rule A tiger will endeavor toVoid an encounter with a line of elephants; on rare occasions it will await their approach and charge home when within a few paces, but on still rarer occaeioni it will advance to the attack from some distance, mouth open, lips curled upwards, ears down, tail on end, every hair on ics body and head bristling with fury. " Whoever has had the fortune to witness Siich a charge will never forgetthe magnifi- ^raft sight^'nor the terrific sounds which ac- companied the o4.ward bounds of the enraged inonster, Qlli^g the air around, and drown- ing the voices of all other living creatures in its awful' deptU add volume. ' " A- large tii^er viewed under su^h circum- stances, when his heac* and body are greatly swelled out, And his appearance rendered most terrific by the bristling of his hair, is a very.ilifferent creature from the listless, flat- sided beast of menageries and ziological gardens." But most people, unless they were mount- ed on tall aud.safe elephants, would rather see the tiger in the menagerie. In his forty years of huntins; Mr. Baker imied^ several immense crocodiles in the creeks of Sonderbunds (the low lands at the delta-tftOuths of the Ganges and Brahma- pootra)^ f where these ferocious monsters grow to a length of twenty- five feet, or even more. ""' " " A friend^of Mr. Baker's shot one of these great erooodiles, described as " a notorious man-eater," and from its stomach took out pieces of gold, silviir, copper, brass and zino. weighing in all twen^-nine or thirty pounds, being the met^h| of which the ornaments of Hindoo wpmen^were. made â€" women being the animals most fireqiient victims. These victims the monster carried off while they were bathing or drawing water. The Narrowest Kind of an Escape. They were sitting together on the veranda m the dim ttAlight.

"The stones," replied Tommy. India Babberfloneshoes. The proposed substitution of India rubber for metal in the manufacture of horseshoes, says the 4fecAan*caZ Xews, is baaad various supposed advantages, oip'of being that uie former «wbles aliorse ib easily over all kinds of roads and rough slippery ground «ijith-oat sloping, coatrivanoe baroughit for^jjrdior Ifeis poaa fa sudi as to^oMvati^ln ^fu^ "• the necessity of nsii^ a#' iron ^(i can be moved momentarily when the horse is not travelling, and can also be used when the horse is shod with an iron shoe. Ac- oording to this design the shoe consists of sn Inua rubber bottom piece molded to fit over or around the frog and the hoof, with a led^ or projecting rim rising up the front and arotmd about the level where the nails are clamped, the projection having an edg- ing under which a steel band or other ap- pl^ce can be drawn and nipped tight to retain the rubber shoe. The band is con- nected by studs, which pass through the heel part of tiie hoof, this being cut away from the inner side for the purpose, and the stud or studs may work eccentrically to ob- tain grip or fixing. If the rubber shoe is used with an iron shoe the frog ^rtion or pad has a front plate and two side wings partially imbedded in it, the pi ojection tak- ins; hold under the iron shoe to fix the rub- ber shoe in place. If the rubber shoe be divided or made thin in the center, a swivel or other bar can be contracted from the rear to reduce the width of the pad so that it enters easily and also expanded so as to fix the rubber shoe in position. Didn't Want to See the Best. According to Texus Siftings, an old.gamb- ler who was reduced to poverty by a rather protracted run of bad luck, obtained the posi- tion of a street car driver. He had been so accustomed to playing cards that be could never divest himself of the idea that he was not plyini^ hia old trade at all hours of the day. A large, stout lady entering his car not long since forgot to deposit her fare. After waiting a reasonable time the driver stopped his car, and eaid respectfully " I want to see your ante." There was a pause of about three seconds, and then the cyclone struck. With one stalwart wipe of her parasol she caved the gentleman's hat down over his ears, and in a kind of backward thrust nearly dug out the eye of a school superiutendont just behind her. The passengers made a break for the rearfdoor, and^the car-driver stumbled off the steps. The sliout woman was monarch of all she surveyed. With blazing eyes and arms waving like a windmill, she shouted " Want to see my auntie, do you " " Nc, by thunder, I don't " yelled the driver, looking at her from the sidewalk, where he had ignominiously fled. "Want to see any of my relatives, you vile scoundrel? Where's the superintend- ent " " No, I don't want to see another darned one of them." " I've a notion to come there and flush the gutter with you, you villain, but 1 must be setting along home," and picking up the lines she drove about four .blocks, and dis- mounted from her triumphal chariot. The crowd yelled and the driver limped up the street and again l)oarded his car. Hereafter he will,make an earnest effort to abstain from the use of teohnical terms in the discharge of his duties as boss of a street car. Drinkintr in Bnssia- The Russian Government has just issued a volume of statistics containing some inter- esting information. Eoropeab Bossia ap- pears to have a town population of a little over twelve millions of souls, and a lural popalation of close on eighty million's, or a total of just under ninetytwe millions. This includes Poland and Finland. And to supply the required amount of intoxicating fluids for these evidently thirsty souls it appears that in Rassia in Europe there ire 2,377 distilleries, of which 1,574 are for the production of potato spirit, the other being 677 which use grain and 126 using sugar and other substances. Rye spirit appears to be the chief lMverage after potato spirit, as the amount of rye used was approximately 31^ million pouds, while over 84^ million ponds of potatoes were consumed for tihe produc- tion of raw spirit. The Indian corn used amounted to less than 3^ million pouds, and the quantity of malt consumed in the dii- tillenes was 12^ million ponds. Turning to the production of spirits, measured by the strength of forty degrees, we find that over ninety million gallons were made by the distilleries in Russia in Europe, of which only about 10 million gallons were exported There were 140.000 public houses for the sale of liquors, including beer houses, and the consumption per inhabitant was nearly li gallons, or more than doable the consump- tion and export per head of the United Kingdom. The total ordinary revenue of Russia for 1885 is returned at 789 million roubles. Of this 182,377,000 roubles were derived from excise duties on spirits, and a further 13,500.000 roubles for licences for the sale of spirits. Consequently absnt one fourth of the revenue is .derived from spirits Asiatic races under Russian rule number, according to this return, an additional seventeen millions making a grand total of the whole of the inhabitants of the Rus- sian Empire of one hundred and nine millions.

It is not leca aary that the feet should be raised to tit surface of the water. The body from tk shoulders downward should be kept at s' angle of thirty degrees to the plane of th horizon. This inclination, with every fot- ward movement, will tend to throw tbeheiil out.
