IIow Army Elephants) Are Fed. Elephants in the Indian army are fed twice a clay. When meal-time ar rives they are drawn up in line before a row of piles of food. Each animal's breakfast includes ten pounds of raw rice, done up in five two-pound pack ages. The rice is wrapped in leaves, and then tied with gruss. At the com mand, "Attention!" each elephant raises his trunk, and a package is thrown into its capacious mouth. By this method of feeding not a single grain of rice is wasted. $ Knocked Out.

"Four Anchors" Is the Title of the Thir teenth Sermon In the New York Herald' Competitive Series Dr. Tal mue Preaches a Sermon to Sisters. Text: "They cast four anchors out of the stern." Aets xxvii., 29. The symbolism of the text is striking and suggestive. Many lives h'ave been ship wrecked for tho need of anchors holding them to steadfastness. However deep wo may feel the waters to be through which we are sailing, we are often nearer the shoals and reefs than is imagined. The first anchor which should bo thrown out is ilxedness of purpose. Tho inner most secret of successful lives is in the concentration of power along certain de finite lines. Taul says, "This one thing I do," and tho world will ever do him rev erence. Dr. Hudson Taylor says, "This one thing I do," and China is opened as never before to higher ideals and larger visions of life. The Earl of Shaftesbury says, "Thi3 one thing I do," and he goes down to the Holboru viaduct, in London, and the bootblacks and hucksters and street arabs and costermongers are trans formed. The great names In art, in science, In philosophy and in finance are always idantifled with pain and purpose. Life is power, but power undirected is lost. Only constant striking ou the same spot makes an impression. Turpose connects and unifies our months and years and makes of them all but parts of a single whole. Each day ought to be a liuk tempered and welded into the chain of a completed life. Three-fourths of men's failures may be attributed to the lack of purpose. The house can scarcely be constructed without a plan; how much hiss cau a human life be fashioned without a conception of what it will be when finished? Tlan must precede construction; the ideal before the realiza tion, the purpose before the accomplish ment. Only the man who aims will strike the mark. Turn your life into a deHnite chaunel; let it not cover too much terri tory, for it is the deeply flowing stream which cuts away the obstructions and at last reaches the isea, while the stream which spreads itself in shallowness goes silently into the swamp-land and its life is ended. The analysis of every completed life reveals a central point about which energy and emotion and devotion cluster themselves. ' But purposo to exert its influence must be accompanied by perseverance, so cast out the second anchor. Hero is a vast dif ference between the aim and the accom plishment. Perseverance is tho bending of the bow to send the shaft at the target, and the bow is the will. "I will fight it out on this line if it takes all summer," says the great general. That is the spirit which conquers. No sooner have our plans been drafted or our purpose fixed than cir cumstancesand difficulties seem to con spire to defeat and ruin them. Many a man has seen his star in the east, but only here and there has one been possessed of the courage and devotion to follow it over an unbeaten path until it led him to his treas ure. It is blood earnestness which tells. The man who is ever unconscious of defeat is he who some day will plant his standard upon the enemies' ramparts and win the day. He who holds on in the face of the storm, in spite of discouragements, calmly suffering temporary delays, is ho who final ly secures his crown and his reward. Shall we complain of difficulties when a thou sand fingers are pointing at wonderful achievements, made after overcoming tre mendous obstacles? Halen Kellar, without sight, without hearing, without language, presses on until she passes the entrance examinations to Harvard University. John Uunyan, the drunken tinker of Bedford, rises to the authorship of "Pilgrim's Prog ress." It is half-heartedness which fails, but the "doing with thy might" which suc ceeds. Before a determined will and a passionate devotion men will stand aside and let you pass they cannot help it; diffi culties will vanish they cannot withstand you; obstruction will be crushed their puny strength deserts thf m. Then, in order to make perseverance possible, anchor tho third, faith in one's self. Too often the estimate of our power falls far short of what it really is. Emer son's word, "Trust thyself," carries with it a true philosophy, for one may not achieve until there is a firm belief in one's own soul. If we rate our ideal at 100 and our power at fifty the accomplishment will be but one-half. The great crime men com mit against themselves is not in overjudg ing, but in underjudging. My self-set limitations determine the extent of ray achievement. And what right has r'-an, born in the imago of God, with unknown and undeveloped powers standing before a hidden future, to measure and to circum scribe his capabilities and to limit his pos sibilities of success in the construction of life? Only God may measure man, for only God knows the height the individual may rench. Men who to-day are almost meas ureless in their intellectual sweep are they who have not dared with compass and rule to set tneir bounds. This is not conceit, but a respect forthe untouched, undreamed of potency of your own soul. So then, believe not only in your ideal, but in the possibility of realizing it. And then the fourth anchor, faith in God . "We may imagine Paul as the last anchor is thrown out calling to the sailors, "Men, does it hold?" and the answer coming back, "Yes; the rope Is taut; we do not see tho ledge down below the, waves, but the anchor holds." Ah! that is the blessed ex perience of life; this anchor always grasps tho solid rock, the unseen rock of God! Faith connects man with Omnipotence. Faith is the conductor which places at our disposal divine grace and power. This is the testimony of every child of faith. "I can do all things through Him." This is the power not our own which may be ap propriated. And there are times when the safety of the whole life depends upon this anchor. The anchor of purpose may be dislodged and flung high upon the shore by storm and tempest; the anchor of perse verance may be worn away by the fretting tie and the cutting sands, the anchor of faith may snap in twain in some fearful crisis when the strain is great and the heart is sick, but awav down below the crashing billows of passion and temptation rests the anchor of faith embedded in the heart of God. So let us live with a noble purpose worthy tho patient endeavor and unfalter ing devotion we bestow upon it, mindful of our own undiscovered resources and hold ing fast to the might of God. Rev. Charles Atwood Campbell, First Presbyterian Church, Providence, R. I. FOR GIRLS. Ker, Dr. Talmage Preaches Directly, to the Sister. Text: "And his sister stood afar off to witness what would be done to him,"Ex odus ii., 4. Trincess Thermutis, daughter of Pha roab, looking out through the lattice of her bathing-bouse on the banks of the Nile, saw a curious boat on the river. It had neither oar nor helm, and they would have own useless anyhow. There was only one passenger, and that a baby boy. The boat was made of the broad leaves of papyrus, iightened together by bitumen. "Kill all :he Hebrew children born," had been Phn roali's order. To save her boy, Jochebed, the mother of little Moses, had put him in in that queer boat and launched him. His sister, Miriam, stood on the bank watching that precious craft. She was far enough ofi not to draw attention to the boat, but near enough to offer protection. There she stands on the bank Miriam, the poct iss; Miriam, the quick-witted; Miriam, the Faithful; though very human, for in after time she demonstrated it. Oh. was not Miriam, the sister o? Moses, Jgiiga goodtliiug, an important thiatr. a glorious thing when she watched the boat woven of river plants and made water-tight with tvsphaltum, currying its, one passen ger? Did she not put all the ages of time and of a coming eternity' under obligation when she defended her helpless brother from the perils aquatic, reptilian and ravenous? She it was that brought that wonderful babe and its mother together, so that he was reared to be the deliverer of his nation, when otherwise, if saved at all from the rushes of tho Nile, he would have been only one more of the God-defying Pha roahs; for Triucoss Tuonnntis, of the bathing-house, would have inherited the crown of Egypt; and, as she had no child of her own, this adopted child would have come to coronation. Had there been no Miriam there would have been no Moses. What a garland for a faithful sisterhood! Miriam was the oldest of the family; Moses and Aaron, her brothers, were younger. Oh the power of the eider sister to help decide the brother's character for usefulness and for heaven! Sno can keep off from her brother more evils than Miriam could have driven back water-fowl or croco dile from tho ark of bulrushes. The older sister decides the direction In which tho cradle boat shall sail. By gentleness, by good sense, by Christian principle she can turn it toward the palace, not of a wicked Pharaoh, but of a holy God; and a brighter princess than Thermutis should lift him out of peril, even religion, whose ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths aro peace. The older sister, how much the world owes her! Born while yet the family was in limited circumstances, she had to hold and take care of her younger brothers. And if there is anything that excites my sympathy, it is a little girl lugging around a great fat child and getting her ears boxed because she can not keep him quiet! By the time she gets to young womanhood she is pale and worn out, and her attrac tiveness has been sacrificed on the altar of sisterly fidelity aud she is consigned to celibacy, and society call her by an unfair name; but in heaven they call her Miriam. Let sisters not begrudge the time and care destowed on a brother. It is hard to believe that any boy that you know so well as your brother can ever turn out anything very useful. Well, he may not be a Moses. There is only one of that kind needed for six thousand years. But I tell what your brother will be either a blessing1 or a curse to society, and a candidate for happi ness or wretchedness. He will, like Moses, have the choice between rubies and living coals, and your influence will have much to do with his decision. He may not, like Moses, be tho deliverer of a nation, but he may, after your father and mother are gone, be the deliverer of a household. What thousands of homes to-day are piloted by brothers! There are properties now well invested and yielding income for the support of sisters and younger brothers because the older brother rose to the leadership from the day the father lay down to die. Whatever you do for your brothers will come back to you again. Dou't snub him. Don't depreciate his ability. Don't talk discouragingly about his future. Don't let Miriam get down off the bank of the Nile and wade out and upset the ark of bulrushes. Don't tease him. Don't let jealousy ever touch a sister's soul, as it so often does, because her brother gets more honor or more means. Even Miriam, the heroine of the text, was struck by that evil passion of jealousy. She had possessed unlimited influence over Moses, and now he marries, and not only so, but marries a black woman from Ethiopia; and Miriam is so disgusted and outraged at Moses, first beeauso hehadmarriedat all, and next because he had practiced miscegena tion, fthat she is drawn into a frenzy, and then begins to turn white, and gets white as a corpse, and then whiter than a corpse. Her complexion is like chalk, tho fact is, sho has tho Egyptian leprosy. And now the brother whom she had defended on the Nile comes to her rescue in a prayer that brings her restoration. Let there be no room in all your house for jealousy either to sit or stand. If is a leprous abomina tion. Your brother's success, O sisters, is your success. His victories will bo your victories. If you only knew it. your interests are identical. Of all the families of tho.earth that ever stood together, perhaps the most conspicuous is the family of the Roths childs. As Mayer Anselm Rothschild was about to die, in 1812, he gathered his ehii drenabout him Anselm, Solomon, Nathan, Charles and James and made them promise that they would always be united on cnange. Obeying that injunction, they have been the mightiest commercial power on earth, and at the raising or lowering of their scepter nations have risen or fallen. That illustrates how much, on a large scale and for selfish purposes, a united family may achieve. But suppose that Instead of a magnitude of dollars as the object, it be doing good, and making salutary impres sion, and raising this sunken world, how much more ennobling! Sister, you do your part, aud brother will do his part. If Miriam will lovingly watch tho boat on tho Nile, Moses will help her when leprous dis- isters strike. General Bauer,. of the Russian cavalry. had in early life wandered off in the army, and the family supposed he was dead. Af ter he gained a fortune ho encamped one dayln llusatn, his native place, aud made a banquet; and among the great military men who were to dine he invited a plain miller and his wife, who lived near by and Who, affrighted, came, fearinar some harm would be done them. The miller and his wife were placed one on eaeh side of the General at the table. The General asked the miller all about his family, and the miller said that he had two brothers and a sister. "No other brothers?" "Myyoungei brother went off with the army many years ago, and no doubt was long ago killed." Then the General said: ' Soldiers, I am this man's younger brother, whom he thought was dead." And how loud was the cheer, and bow warm was the embrace! Brother and sister, you need as much of an introduction to each other as they did. You do not know each other. You think your brother is grouty and cross and queer, and he thinks you are selfish and proud and unlovely. Both wrong! That brothet will be a prince in some woman's eyes, and thatsistora queen in the estimation oi some man. That brother is a magnificent fellow, aud that sister is a morning in June. Come, let me introduce you; "Moses, this is Miriam." "Miriam, this is Mo3es." Add seventy-five per cent, to your" present ap preciation of 'each other, and when you kiss good morning do not stick up youi cold cheek, wet from the recent washing as though you hated to touch each others Hps in affectionate caress. Let it have al? the foudness and cordiality of a loving sis ter's kiss. I read of a child in tho country who was detained at a neighbor's house on a storm j night by some fascinating stories that were being told him, and then looked out and saw it was so dark he did not dare go home The incident Impressed me the more be cause in my childhood I had much the same experience. The boy asked his com rades to go with him, but they dared not It got later and later--7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock. "Oh," he said, "I wish I were home!" As he opened the door the last time a blinding flash of lightning and o deafening roar overcame him. But aftei awhile he saw in the distance a lantern and lo! his brother was coming to fetch him home, and the lad stepped out and with swift feet hastened on to his brother who took him home, where they were so glad to greet him, and for a long time sup per had been waiting. Ho may it be when the night of death comes and our earthly friends can not go with us, and we dare not go alone; may our Brother, our eldei Brother, our Friend closer than a brother, come out to meet us with the light of the promises, which shall be a lantern to oui f eet; and then we will go U to join oui loved ones waiting for us, supper all ready, the marriage supper of the Lamb!

"' To Carve Ham'. First have a good, sharp carving knife, so that thin slices are easily cut. The most usual way is to begin at a little distance from the knuckle, aud to proceed towards the thick end or blade. If a ham is baked instead of boiled, it is easier to cut it thin. To Wash Blankets. When washing these at homo the laundress must proceed in the follow ing m miner: Into two quarts of water shred half a bar, of best yellow soap, and pour the liquid into a tub of warm water, together with a tablespoonful of liquid ammonia to every gallon. Dip the blaukets into this lather and nil) them thoroughly in this. When clean, rinse the blankets in tepid wa ter, wring out, and hang to dry in the open air. Cologne in the Cookery. It is no secret that the French cul inary expert employs eiu de cologne to produce M-ith other j essences that subtle mysterious but delicious flavor often tasted in fruit salids and other cookery confections. n the genuine cologue there is compressed extract of rosemary aud lemon thyme. Here is a real French dessert: Put in a salad bowl a layer of chopped ice, well pow dered with sugar, and upon this a layer of bananas; agai, a handful of chopped ice and sugar, aud after this bananas, repeating till the bowl is full as required. Four upon the fruit a wine glass of water in which you have dropped a lump of sugar that has ab sorbed three drops of aljnond essence, and another that has absorbed three drops of genuine eau de; cologne. Hats and Mice. The best way to destroy mice and rats is to catch them, writes "White Ribbon." For mice, I set a pan or wide mouthed washbowlj in a closet or cellar, filling it Avith liilk or water on which bran has been sprinkled. Five drowned mice have? been found in one earthen washbowl! in the morn ing. For rats, a larger) vessel' must be set, such as a barrel or tub. Part ly till with water, sprinkh) bran on the surface, tie a bit of meit or fish as bait, to a chip, and let it' float on the water. Make a walk of board for the rats to climb up on, and the trap is ready. ( I have caught many mice with bowls and tin kettles. Use a strip of paste board an inch wide by four long. Bend in the middle forming a rectangular triangle. To one end pin a bait of meat, lisk or cheese, and stand the strip on one end on the khelf, balanc ing one edge of the kettle on the cor ner where it is bent. The other edge of the kettle's mouth , rests on the shelf, and the baited end of paste board bends forward inside of the mouth. The mouse mijst go inside, directly under the mouth, to nibble the bait, and as the slightest jar dis turbs the kettle from Its precarious position, Mr. Mouse is imprisoned. A larger heavier device may be used for rats. A trap must be washed or smoked out every time it has enter tained a rodent. Never let children destroy or see them destroyed. Have a reliable adult dispatch them pain lessly. New England Homestead. rruits for the Table in Winter. Apj)les, as a rule, are imore easily digested cooked than r&vw, although raw apples are more palatable. Fruits are more appetizjng, and, per haps, more easily digested if taken in the early part of the day--whether or not before the breakfast must be de termined by the eater. Grapes, oranges and shaddocks may be served before the cereal. Baked apples, peaches, baked bananas, figs, dates, prunes or stewed fruits should be served at the close oj the break fast. I The sub-acid fruits, suet as apples, figs, dates, peaches, persimjnons, pears, prunes and apricots, are, perhaps, the best of the winter fruits, and may be used to good advantage with animal foods. Raisins, sultanas, driid figs and prunes should be soaked thoroughly, so that they may take up the same amount of water with whjch they have parted in the process on drying, and should then be heated just enough to soften tho skins. Acid fruits must at all times be used most sparingly, especially by persons inclined to' rheumatic troubles. The continued use of an orange or shad dock before breakfast will diminish the power of stomach digestion for cereals, or such foods as require only intestinal digestion. The papaw aud pineapple belong to ii class alone. They contain a vegeta ble pepsin which assists jiu the diges tion of the nitrogenous principles. These fruits, then, may be served with meats, and will aid in their digestion; when served with bread and butter they do not form so good a diet. They are more digestible raw than cooked, as the heat destroys the activity of the ferments. The fashion of adding sugar to fruits should be avoided, as they have already been endowed with a sufficient amount of sugar, and as all the starch and cereals are converted into sugar any further amount would be stored in the system, to its detriment. If our bilious friends would throw aside their liver pills, and with them, sugar, they might be free from much discom fort. Mrs. S. T. Borer, in Ladies' Home Journal. The Old I-ariy'H Inquiry.

Tit-Bits A Boautlful Glrl'ii Affliction. From the Republican, Versailles, Tni. The Tuckers of Versailles, Ind., like all fond parents, are completely wrapped up in their children. Their daughter Lucy, la particular, has given them much concern. She is fifteen1, and from a strong, healthy girl, three years ago, had become weak and kept falling off in iiesh, until sho became a mere skeleton. She seemed to have no life at all. Her olood became impure aud finally she became the victim of nervous prostra tion. Doctors did not help her. Most of the time sho was confined to bed, was very nervous and irritable, and seemed on tho verge of St. Vitus' dance. "One morning," said Mrs. Tucker, "the doctor told us to give her Dr. Williams' Tink Pills tor Tale People, which he brought with him. He said ho was treating a similar case with these pills aud they were curing the patient. We began giving the pills and the next day could seo a change for the better. Discussed Th eir Daughter's Case for Hours. The doctor carae and was surprised to see such an improvement. He told us to keep giving her the medicine. We gave her one Eill after each meal until eight boxes had een used when she was well. She has not been sick since, and we have no foar of the old trouble returning. We think the cure almost miraculous." Frank Tucker, Mas. Frank Tucker. Subscribed and Sworn to before me this 28th day of April, 1897. Hcon Johnson, Justice of the Peace.

A Cricket Thermometer. The rate of chirp of the cricket, Pro fessor A. E. Dolbear notes in the American Naturalist, seems to be en tirely determined by the temperature, and this to such degree that one may easily compute the temperature from the chirps per minute. Thus, at sixty degrees Fahrenheit, the rate is eighty per minute. At seventy degrees Fah renheit the rate is 120, a change of four chirps a minute for each degree of change. Below a temperature of fifty degrees the cricket has no energy to waste in music, and there would be but forty chirps per minute.
