An Inli'lligctil Animal. The elephant nt ti fist glance appears to be a dull, heavy sort of a ti How, with a mind, if he has such a thing, about suited to tin' appreciation of peanuts and nothing more. II we look into the elephant's eye, however, we shall see that it is a pretty bright sort of an eye, and more often than not it will be found to twinkle in a manner which indicates the possession of an idea or two inside of that maiii nioth head. This second glance will give us a more correct uiulerstiiiidiiig of the elephant's intellectual ijualities than the lirst ; and as we never judge a man by his clothes, so we should not attempt to estimate the elephant's in telligence by his personal appearance, which is not beautiful. Many a time and oft, as the poet says, the elephant has shown himself to be a creature of very remarkable intelligence--ipiitc as intelligent, in fact, as the horse, mid sometimes more so than the dull-pated, witless pei.-ons who hiiM- hud him in charge. In illustration of this point there is told a story of a large elephant which was sent some years ago to a remote country district iu India to assist in carrying and piling timber. The ow n er of the elephant, suspecting that the native driver was dishonest, wrote a letter to the wife of a missionary, at W hose house the elephant was lodged, asking her to watch the servant, and see that he did not defraud the faith ful animal of his rice. The lady watched, and lu-r suspicions being aroused by his conduct, she expressed lu-r doubts to the servant. He pre tended to be much surprised and very angry, and exclaimed, in his own lan guage, "Do you think I would rob my chiidV" The elephant stood ipiietly by, ami appeared to understand what was go ing on. No sooner had the driver ut tered his question than th.t auiniil threw his trunk round him, threw him down, and untied the unusually bulky cloth th,' servant wore roun I his waist, t tut rolled a large iiiantity of rice which had I n stolen by the ser vant out of tlie elephant's allow ance. Vc li'ivc frequently seen elephant-i that could wait, and Hug dinner bells, and play pranks with a circus clown, but this, we believe, is the lirst in stance on record of one of these mon strous beasts turning detective an 1 bringing a thief to justice. Furthermore the circus elephant, smart as he is, had to be taught t i do the clever things he docs, while the bulky detec tive had to reason out his work of his own accord, relying solely upon his ow n intelligence to help him "through. - - Harper's Young l'eople. Toy Trains on ti Zigziiif Kami. A trip on an ore train, up l)cadwood gulch to near the top of Hald moun tain, nearly 7,(M)ll feet above sea level, is an event to any olio who would know s inn-thing of milling ami has, at the same time, an eye for engineering pro blems and line scenic effects. Tlicro are, iu different parts of the world, scenes that are more overpowering, and there are here and there single tours de force iu engineering greater than any tube met with here; but, taking everything together, there arc few combinations of these elements where the ensemble equals that produced in the Kluck hills. The Hald Mountain Hoad is a nartow gauge feeder or extension of the F.lkhoru, or more broadly speaking, the North western system. It staltsat cadwood and works its way up lcadwood gulch in a westerly direction. The further est point reacheil is probably not above twelve miles as the crow (lies, but this narrow gaugo doubles and twists on and over itself in s ieh fashion that it goes over twellty-tive miles before it waken the cud, ami strongly reminds one of the chap in a befuddled state who remarked that it was not the length so much as the breadth of thu road that bothered him. '"bene toy trains are drawn by pow erful i-ngins. The road np lower Deadwood gulch is comparatively easy. Hut by mid by the engine gives signs of great. 'alior and travail. It pull's and snorts, ami fairly shrieks as iu a tremendous crescendo it miikt-s nn as cent M2 feet to the mile, probably as steep a grade as there is in the world.

It is a va .1 panorama thus spread beture the eye, ami one rich ill detail. The load climbs Well to the top of Hald mountain and tlu-u neariy encircles it.

It ought hardly to be called cold water, perhaps, but it is certainly far from being as hot asordiii'in boiling Miit -r. This state of thin is found on all high mountain tops, as the atmosphere grows weaker and its pressure less as one ascends.

XATIVH COOPHRAGK. La Industry That Should Thrive Better in America. Cultivating Sapling Forests to Supply the Wood. One ,f tin.' notable delicieiicies ut the World's Fair was iu the display of American cooperage. This is partly explained by the fact that most of the large establishments which Use barrels, casks, and other stave packages, inaiiu fa"l lire thein in their own cooperage houses. 'Clio Standard Oil Company and the various large sugar refineries meg 1 illustrations of this, as also the leading breweries ami distilleries. There a re, however, a number of large cooperage companies iu tin eon nt ry which arc bringing credit upon themselves for the line products of their establishment!-, and iiiiiny of tin-si- made exhibits at tin- Fa i i'. These exhibits, which were iu the Forestry Huilding, included mli-ti-cally mailt-pcils, buckets, tubs, keel ers. churns, barrels, cans, nn asiirt .-. and many other articles of tin-cooper's nn. Che various al t ieles are light and strong, and tiny are made ot the American woods that are eminently adapted to this work. Hilt after the exhibit- had been studied, one felt conlidi nt that our iiiMiul'neturers had not yet made tin best of the opportunities ,,lV. iv.l for supplying a large part of the world w it h co qit rage articles. 'Che Oi l man cooperage exhibits far i -I I - I tho-e of the Americans, and tie- Hermans supply more foreign intri,-, with these products than the Cnili d Slates, although tin- red and white ,i -,ar tree. of thia country are especially adapted' to the iiiaiiut'aelure of fancy tub- nnd pails. I n the si nil lu-i ii part of New Hamp shire 1 1 oopelage iu, lust rv is !,wh grow iug to great importance, ami tin white pines are well adapted to the luauulaetille of lish-kits. pail-, tub-, buckets and barrels. 'Che staves of all these product-, are ninde from tin- sup lings of the vi bite pines w h ieh al e m- . being grown purposely for this wmk. Many of the trees are il-ed largely by companies which manufacture cooper age articles simply for their own busi ness. It is this work of th" lish com panies, sugar relinei ie-, and bi'i werics that prevents the cooperage industry from obtaining the high standard which it deserves iu this country. 'Che value of a lot of sapling pine for slave wood depends upon the thriftiness of the grow t h, or in other words on the space which is madceaeh Mil ssive year between the knots or limbs. When the growth is only about tell inches tin? staves are only enough for kits or tubs; if tin ng aie long enough to form barrel staves their value is much enhanced. Hig limbs, ns ii rule, nre of little value j to the cooper, for stive cut from thein generally warp and twist so that soon into all parts of the country, an expert can detect the imposition. 'Che invention, which was patented a Iu the southern part of New Hump- short I inn- ago by n Scotch tirm. i shire a sapling forest i-a valuable po,- evidently derived from the old roller scssioii, and it becomes a constant source of income if properly treated. Many farmers cultivate these forests as ihev would a crop of corn or win at, for they know that the trees are id- j ways saleable to the cooperage inaiiii ', fnctiii't-rs. 'Chen- is rtally very little j cultivation demanded. however, as 1 Nature handles the lives apparently ' better than mail. For a time some growers attempted to make tin trees' more valuable by cutting out t In- j worthless limbs, hoping to give the t ruiiks a better chalice to mat in c. Hul today this work is not practised, lor trimming out the limbs iuvm ial.ly causes a black spot or streak in the wood.
