I had a rich iieit;blsir, a mau I waa bound to propitiate; and the very find call I had, after days of wailing for atieiit8 who didu't rouie, was to bis Iwrn to see w nai was the matter with his sick mare. I rured the mare, and took in my shingle; for from that day to this I ve never pretended for a bnmau being. I had won a reputation as a veterinary surgeon, and had to stick to it. Itut tbat'a neither here nor there. Only if you think aui nialscau't sliow gratitude am) af feet ion, iierhajisyoiril change your mimL When I'd been in business a year or two, I sent for my brother Hick. He was a wouilerfiil chap W illi all kind of animals, and 1 thought perhaMi I could work out of my part of it and leave that for him. I never did, for Dirk's a cotton broker in New York now, and I should have to begin all overagaiu to make a first rate physician. Hut that's what I meant to be then. The very next day after Hick came I got a telegram from P. T. liariiuiu. I'd been down there once or twice to his own stable, and he had a good deal of faith iu me. The dispatch was: "Hebe has hurt her foot. Come at once." Ilclie was a favorite elephant - a splendid creatine, and worth a small fortune. Well, I confess I hesitated. I distrusted my owu ability and dreaded the result. Priit Wick wan determined to go, and go we did. When we got out of the cars, ltar mini himself was there with n splen did pair of matchless grays, lie eyed ine very dubiously. "I'd for gotteu you were such a little lei low," he said iu a discouraged tone. "I'm afraid you can't help her." His distrust put me ou my mettle. "Mr. Illinium," said I, getting into the carriage, "if it conies to a hand to hand light lietwccn Hchc aud iiiu, I don't believe uu extra fisit or two of height would help uie any." He laughed outright and Is gan telliug me how the elephant was hurt. She had stepped ou a nail or bit of iron, and it had M-uctrat-ed the tender part of her foot. Hlie was in intense agony and almost wild with the pain. Long liefore we reached the in closure iu which she was we could hear Hebe's piteous trumietiiig; aud when we entered we found her on three legs, swinging the hurt foot slowly backward and forward, and uttering long cries of anguish. Such dumb misery iu her looks poor thing! Even Dick quailed now. "Yon can never get near her," he whis pered. "Hlie'll kill you sure.'' Her keeiier divined what nesaiu. Don't vou lie afraid, sir," he called out to me. "Hebe s got sense." I took my box of instruments from Mr. Itanium. "I like your pluck, my Uiy," he said heartily; but I owu that I felt rather queer aud shaky us 1 went up to the hugr Is'iist. The men emnloycd ulsiut the show came around us curiously, but at a resiN-ctful and eminently safe distance, as I bent dow n to ex amine the foot. While I was doing so, as gently as 1 could, 1 felt, to my horror, a Blight touch ou my hair. It was as light as a woman's, but as I turned and saw the great trunk Is-hiriJ mu it had au awful suiiL'eritivcuess. She's only curling your Hair, sang out the kcciicr. "Don't wind her." "I shall have to cut, and cut deep," said I by way of reply. He said a few words iu some lingo which were evidently intended for the elephant's understanding only. Then he shouted with the utmost coolness: 4t'utaway!" ' The man's fine inspired me. There he stood, absolutely unpro tected, directly in front of the great creature, aud quietly jablieml away at her as if this w ere an every day occurrence. Well, I made one gash with the knife. 1 felt the grasp ou my hair tighteu perceptibly, yet not un gently. Cold drops of pcrspiratiou stood out all over uie. "Shall I cut aguint" I managed to call out. "Cut away!" came again the en couraging response. This stroke uul the worn, a great mass of fetid matter followed the Dattutgfl of the knife; the atceM8 was lanced. We sprayed out the foot, packed it with oakum, and bound it up. The relief must have been immediate, for the grasp on my hair relaxed, the elephant drew a long, uimotu numaii sign, and well. I dou t kuow what hap pened next, for I fainted dead away. Dick must have finished tha business and picked me and tnv tools dd. I was as limp as a "' It must have been a year and half after this happened that I w called to western Marviwhusetts to see some fancy horses, liarnum's circus happened to be there. You may be sure that I called to inquire for my distinguished patient. "Hebe's well and hearty, sir," the keeper answered me.

Announcement was made at the White House today that Charles J. lioiiatiarte of lialtiiuore would suc ceed Paul Morton as secretary of the navy Uhiu the Utter' a retire ment ou July 1. Mr. Bonaparte wasnwlected for the position, it was said, aoou alter it was definitely arranged that Mr. Morton would retire this summer. He has ac cepted. Iu securiug the service of Mr. Bonaparte, the president has not only gratified a strong personal in clination but has in a measure rec ognized the growing importunity of Southern Itcpuhlicaiia that the South should have a representative in the cabinet Since the cordial treatment shown the president in the South and Southwest, particu larly in Texas on his journey west ward iu April, these importunities increased, and while there is uo leliuite information to that effect, it is supposed that the president has Isirue iu mind the reasons pie- uted for a recognition of the South in an apioiiitiiieut to his of ficial family. President lloosevclt and Mr. liouaparte had lsen friends and co workers for many years. Their principal common interest was dur ing the civil service reform of which Mr. Itonaparte has Is-cu the most prominent and active expo nent in the I nited States.

There was a remarkable hearing here last Saturday Is-fore Clerk of the Court T. C. lioliinson. Frank llobiiison, colored, of (iullcdge township, recently petitioned the clerk that he lie ullowed to adopt Ellis lioliinson, his grandson, aged 1 1 or l'J years. Irester Tucker, a white man living iu the same tow n ship, also tietitioncd the clerk to the same effect, aud the hearing, as above stated, was had Sat unlay. The extraordinary feature of the hearing was Tucker's testimony, which is giveu iu part Mow. Among other things he said: "It I urn allowed to adopt Ellis I would treat him as my own; I would treat hiii like a sou ; 1 have never whipped him; I threatened him once; Ellis' mother gave him to me two or three mouths liefore she died; I want the relation ot father and sou established Mwcen me and Ellis."

Klrhsnga- In Wales there are about WW, 000 people who cannot speak Knglish, Welsh Mng their only language. In Scotland there are 4:J,tHH) per sons who can siieak nothing but Gaelic, aud in Ireland there are 3'.,000 who can express themselves only in the Irish tongue. Climatic conditions exert a great influence over iusecta, ami as there are acme erroneous notions abroad in regard to this subject, and as the prtKetit season is giving us a gissl opportunity to olxerve the effect ol the weather, this would seem au opHrtune time for a few words ou the subject. The Moon An Erroneous Notion., List week a mail earnestly ar gued with me that the eggs of in sects always hutched at the lime of a new moon; said he didn't Micve it at first, but that observation had convinced him. That night it was full moon, and the very next morn ing I found eggs ou an elm leaf ahirh were then hatching some of the larvae were entirely out, some were just part way out of the shells while others were still un- hatched. Three days later I ob served larvae of potato Wtles which had evidently only hatched a day or two liefore. So far as knowu the moon is without clt'ect on insects or their eggs. It may la titat on bright moonlight nights some sMi-ics of insects might tly which normally remain quiet, or it might induce some insects which normally tly at night to keep quiet, but it is not knowu that the moon exerts any direct inlliience on the life-history of innccts. Cold Winters. Persons often say to me that the cold winter weather will kill out certain tests, but I have seldom known this to result. The truth is, that mere cold has very little cllect ou most insects. A cut worm may lie frozen solid, kept all winter, and yet when thawed out in spring will be iu good health and with normal and destructive aps-tite. Insects which are natives of warmer coun tries -as the harlequin cablmgebiig may lie much reduced by cold winters as they require some lime to become acclimated. We do not remember to have seen as many harlequin bugs this year us last, and this may lie in part due to the cold winter, but there are never theless a gisid many of them around, and they will probably make their presence knowu More the summer is over. Itut insects which are native of this or cooler countries, like rut-worms, potato IsTtles, Btrawlicrry weevils, grass hoppers and others are not much allected by the cold of our winters. t)ii the other hand, alternate lreez iug ami thawing is much more de structive to insects, just as it is to plants, hence mild winters may he, exiected to do more to kill insect pcsls than cold ones. Warm and Cool Seasons. If the spring season Is' cool, cut worms are more destructive. This may Is for two reasons: First, lo calise the cold increases the amount of food necessary to maintain life, and second, U-cause the cold may retard their growth so that their in lines are prolonged over a great er period. Cool springs are also favorable for plant lice, such as rose lice, cotton lice, green louse of the apple, and others, while these usually quickly disappear when a siell of hot, dry weather comes on Damp and Dry Seasons. Insects are frequently attacked with various fungous diseases which kill them iu great numbers. Most of these insect diseases are most virulent in damp seasons. Hence some insects are so ini.ch af fected during damn seasons that they do not become numerous. The chinch bug is a good example of this. It is destructive in Pied mont Carolina in hot, dry seasons, but is seldom heard from in damp seasons. This is no uount largely due to the fact that in such seasons the fungous diseases chock them Prolmbly the liest combination of weather conditions for keeping Inwn this insect would lie hot, cloudy, wet weather during June and July. Such a season would be disastrous to fruit, however, as it would favor the development of the nits on the fruits as well as the dis ases on the chinch bugs. A Broad Uuagcd .Ian of the North. Hra aH.I , M.r,rr The utterances at Cha l Hill of the Hon. Henry Sherman lloiitell mark him as a man of rt-inidiiiig breadth of spirit and kindliness ol soul. Sm ol the North and living during I he iicriod of sectional ha tied and Intlerness as well as inter nerine Ktrife, he has route through such a training and out of such a theatre with heart uuspoiletl and eyes and brain ready to see and ' learn uiihaiiiiered by prejudice and with warm sympathies prone to) quick expreMKioii. I loth the extemporaneous ccch made at the Alumni Unique! and the set oration delivered yesterday breathed the spirit ol trust in Southern iiititutioiis and Soul hern honiKty ol purpose which the mis rcpreNciitutroii of smaller men have caused to Is- the more appre ciated by a jieople faced w ith prob lems which their inherent strength alone sutliccd lo overcome. lu yenlerday's serh he showed a mi vful study of North Carolina history and tradition and au under standing of their value in the for mation of the I'liion and its sulne qilcnt preservation. Moore's Creek, he declared, scarcely known as far as Massachusetts, was of really more military iniortance than Ittiuker Hill. ' While the worth of the Southern character, the bravery of her men and the patient patriot isiu of her women, was an old tale to him, who had heard the story from the letters of his father writ ten from New lictii when that city was held by Federal troops. In his Tuesday's speiH-h Hon. liotitcll said: ''I w ish to say to you soberly and delils-nttely that there is uo morc pntscct that any inllueiitial man of the North, iu or out of Congress, will seriously consider, much less act. to red mi' the representation of the Southern Slates iu Congress on account of your wise and necessary sufrage laws, than there is of iv during Hie representation of the Stale of Illinois iu CongrcW He was again lils-rally applaud til when be said: "As I mid the names in your memorial hall of the Ciiiversity graduates who hail won iliiM'i'ishable glory, I had this feel ing, that I 1iom to see the day when we will no more talk of re uniting the North mid the South than we will talk of whether we will drink imported tea or the oth er matters that agitated the men of l"i. "We have a common right to the fame of Washington, the Adams v.id Jefferson, Madison and Frank lin." And then he said with feeling: You cannot take away my prop erty in the fame and patriotism of Iree aud Jackson and Pettigifw." (nd then the boys almost gave the reM yell. And continuing he said: "I want you to Icel that you have a part in the pat riot ism and fame oftiraut and Sheridan and Thoui as." And that sentiment wits warui- iipplauded. He prefaced these declarations by saying that he was a sou of a hederal veteran. Continuing. Mr. lloiitell said: "Iret us from this hour fi-cl that the man who is the better North Carolinian is the ls-t ter American." He referred to the fact that his aucester, linger Sherman, sat with IlooMr and Howe w hen he signed the iM-claration of Independence Those sentiments indicate the man and his thought. He is a big man in the Is-st w-nse, successtiil, patriotic and uniirovincial. Like the ilecis-r thinkers everywhere, he is positive in his own opinions without Mug dogmatic iu their expression, lie stands truly loruie larger I num. for the spirit that rerogtii.es men for what they are worth, wherever they live, ror young men on the threshold of lift his example might well tie au in spiration of wd I culture in an un selfish helpfulness. Such men the South welcomes gladly as brothers who ill see mid understand anil, returning, make good ri'isirt. The hardest fate isti lie misunderstood. rorty years after the war the most hopeful sign of the times lies in the increase of such men as this from the North men with brotherhood in their hearts and brains iu their heads who have gotten rid of that most narrow of all provincialism, the sectional blindness that will not see. Japs Eschew Light Literature. I'lllla.trl,lila 1-r.lrrrr. The Japs are serious-minded peo ple, as their literary habits show. They take life seriously ami devote their time to the reading of what would lie called iu America solid 1 looks. The recent reisirt of the librarian of the inierial library at Tokio hIiows that there is little de maud for light literature iu that capital, for fiction of any sort, con trary to the experience of most of the iMipulur libraries in England, France aud America. The Japa nese mind runs to science, mathe matics, medicine, language and to what may lie termed the graver forms of literature. More than 40 ier cent, of the works taken out of the imperial library are of this character. The Japanese are very fond of history, in the making of which they areexteusively engaged at the present in the easteru war. Kngiiieering, military and naval science receive much attention. The interest in these subjects has Is-en greatly stimulated by the war. Not Wearing Out, merely Rusting. Nnrali-ll Hullrtlll More than half the folks who think that they are wearing out are just rusting out. Kight with a feel ing of weakness comes a spirit ol resiguatiou. You kuow what this is a yielding to conditions a tumbling down. The chances for a persou iu this world are fighting chances. Most that is won is achieved by activity and energy. The only time to lie resigned is when you have to lie. You do not have to be so long as there is a lighting chance. When you feel ike Mng resigned it is time to summon resolution; that will serve you ten times as well and keep your spirits from giving out. Cuban Diarrhoea. I'.
