My duties di not occupy a great deal of my time find I conld often be absent a week ten days without serious inconvenience to anyone. With a couple of and my old "Henry," I would set fort on Mowcha, my elephant. Mowch was an exceptionally fine specimen his race, endowed with all its virtui and but few of its faults, lie was strong, patient, sog-acious and devote to his master. lie had never been use as a working elephant, but only for th purposes of the chase.

You thoul have seen his unwieldy bulk makm; Jts way noiselessly through the thicl jungle grass, his great feet lifted an put down with the utmost caution, hi flexible trunk darting- in all direction to scent the game. anJ his small eye gleaming with excitement. lie to know the moment tt fire, and then he would not move muscle. You knowitrequires nosmal amount of nerve to stand perfectly stil with a liengal devil in a striped skin charging at one, and too oiten it hap pens that your well-directed shot i spoiled by your elephant's speedy retreat. The natives deemed Mowcha superhuman on account of his intellig'enci and strength, and his mahout alway.

called him "My Lord the and treated him with the greatest re Kpect. You know the Hindoo belief that the souls of one's ancestors havi to reside for a period after death in tbe bodies of animals till they atoned for their short comings on earth and, lest they might unwittingly treai some of their grandfathers or great grandfathers witli disrespect, which would be a criminal violation of their religion, it is their custom to ffivc to each of the inmates cf the jungle a particular title, as, for instance, Highness the Tiger, Our King the Lion, etc. So Mowcha was more often addressed as My Lord the Elephant than by his real name. He was a great pet in the regiment. nnd for the children at the station there was no better sport than to climb into the howdah, shrieking 1 with laughter, and have a ride on Mowcha.

He seemed to enjoy it as much as they did, and carried his burden with the greatest dignity. He was really handsome, as elephants go, and looked his best adorned with his scarlet trapping's and harness, and bearing the howdah filled and it was a preUy sight to see them after ward bestowing upoti him his reward in the shape of pineapples, bananas and mangoes, all of which he loved to stow away in his capacious stomach, I tell these details thai you may understand my grief when he suddenly disappeared one night in early spring.

Tor man now return to his native woods and the society of his kind, vre never knew, of course, but we missed him more than one would think, and for some time the cry among 1 the children was: "If Mow- cha were only here!" i tried a number of other elephants for my hunting, but could not fill his place; and, as my duties increased about that time, my guu rarely left its case, and ni3 cartridge belt hung, un used, on the wall.

About three or four years later I was invited to spend the Christmas holidays with an English friend who was giving a house at his place further up in the hills. 1 easily obtained leave and started with but one servant, llamon. He had forincrlv been Mow- cha's mahout, but after that brute's uncanny disappearance he had attached himself to me, and proved to be a. very handy fellow. were mounted on hardy little ponies, and the first day about fifty miles, spending the night at the hut of one of tho forest rangers who arc stationed by the government asa guard along the edges of large and important forests.

The next day we plunged into the forest itself. Toward midday wo were startled bv hearing- a fearful, thunderous roaring, as of some monster in its death agony. At that distance I did not recognize it as the voice of any wild animal I was acquainted with, and turned to Ramon for an explanation. His dark skin was bleached to ashen gray. "It's a herd of elephants!" he exclaimed, "and they are sounding their battle cry.

If they come thus way, it means certain death. AVe cannot escape them." It certainly seemed as though they were headed in our direction, for tlie noise grew louder, and we could feel the ground trembling beneath us at the trampling of many feet. "Follow me, sahib!" cried Uamon, as be threw himself from his horse and hastened to one of the larger trees, which he begun to ascend with the utmost rapidity. I did the same, my being hindered, however, by my heavy riding boots- had no time to secure our ponies, and the frightened animals, as soon as they were released, sprang nimbly through the thickets and disappeared; and with them, of course, vanished our only means of escape from the forest, even though the elephants should pass as bv uitbarmed. We reached our position of safety none too soon.

I could see the heavy branches shaking violently, and Boon a huge pray mass broke through, shambling- along at a remarkable rate of speed, not twenty yards from us, and screaming with vicious rage. a rogue elephant, sahib," said Ramon. "They are chasing him from the herd." Such, indeed, seemed to be the case, for a hundred yards behind him came another enormous figure, which was headed straight for our place of refuge- As fcj lightning flash I saw the hor- rible death that menaced us. I already felt myself falling to the ground, in a second more to be trampled to death those immense feet. I5ut at that instant 1 heard llamon call out boldly: "Let-rah gaj." (lie down).

The graat beast" paused. "Let-ran, again he cried; and, to my astonish- jnent, the creature obediently went upon its knees. Ramon quickly descended, calling me to follow. Where a black leads, a white man does not l)ehind, an down I went. 1 did not understand how the magical transformation ho4 been effected, but as turned and caught sight of the animal, I comprehended it ail; around i a chain, the end 1 the animal must at some time, and called out ihe- of command, hoping that St would 'be obeyed.

He was not disappointed; for nl though the small eyes still gleainet with an ng-ly red light, and the trnnlt waved mutinously in the air, the grea creature bad not forgotten Ms forme training. We approached him can tiously at first, but presently Kamo iTished fearlessly up to the brute an petted him effusively, calling him name of endearment. "Ah, chon, My Lord the Elephant! Tisthou leader of the herd, wiser than the wise man of the temple, beautiful as a lotu bud, strong as the winds of heaven Oh, great Lord Mowcha! Thy alav salutes thee!" Truly enough, it was our old Mow cha, who, in spite of lapse of time and change of place, had not forgotten his old masters and the familar word command. All this had happened within a fe moments. The great herd was stil crashing through the forest all around us, trumpeting with rage and shaking the ground in their fury.

Should one cf them chance to come near to see us our lives would not be a farthing. Mowclia seemed to understand the situation perfectly, for, his anger all gone, he seized Ramon gently with his strong trunk and set him upon his neck, where the mahout usuallj rides; he grasped me with the same ease and placed me beside him. Then he rose and started off at a good pace in the direction opposite to that taken by the rest of his fellows, and soon their screams and thunderings bad died away in the distance. We wondered where My Lord the Elephant intended to convey us whether to his native jungles or to the post again.

When it was that it Mowcha, dear old Mowcha, who was bringing us jack in safety, a hearty cheer broke rom all throats, a cheer for My Lord the Elephant.

THE HYBTEET OF PITZEL'S DEATH. Excellent It Abound! In Mineral It is only recently that clover hay las been fount! to be tlie cheapest and 3est winter food for laying hens, and hat by its use the great difficulty of wocuring green food is overcome. In act, the essential want of liens in winter is not so much that of green food of bulky food of a nitrogenous char- cter. For many j-ears the writers and reeders have made a specialty of rec- mmendiug all kinds of grain for oultry, the only variation being that certain times som? of it was to be vhole grain an'J at other times soft ood was to be given. It did not occur them that the effects of a long-con- inued diet of grain was as injurious to owls to cattle, and that the concen- rated grain food gave the best results hen diluted (if we may use the ex- ression) with some kind of bulky ma- crial, which not oaly promoted di- estion, but also largely assisted in upplying the elements necessary for ie albumen of' the eggs, which was aeking in the carbonaceous food of ie grains.

Another important advantage in the ceding of clover haj is that it abounds mineral matter, thus providing lime a soluble condition for the shells, nd in supplying the bony structure or the chicks in the eggs. The phos- Eiates, salt, soda, magnesia, iron and itrogrm are easiest obtained from the rasses, but ia less proportion than rom bran, or some product of tbe preparation of grain. Yet it ia less concentrated and more soluble, while the fowls can consume a much larger quantity. To attempt to feed clover, however, without grata as an assistant would be going to the other extreme; and hence, the best results can only be obtained from a mixed or balanced ration, by which the laying hens are supplied with food abounding in all tbe elements essential to the production of eggs, aj as to supply tne hens with animal heat and to repair waste of and Fireside, Variety of Food or Stock.

1 Kontlu Ago the Philadelphia. AnthorltlM Had Evidence That Eolmes Had Murdered the of That Queer Chicago Home. CHICAGO, July Carrie Pitzel has made the direct statement- that H. H. Holmes Bas accused Pat Quinlan, the present janitor of the Holmes castle, Sixty-third and Wallace streets, of the murder of Howard Fitzel, her son.

This if the boy whom Detective Geyer la now searching for in Detroit. Accusations against Holmes, however, are piling up, and now it is promising that warrants charging him with the murder of the Williams sisters will also be sworn out. Mrs. Pitzel's charge against Fat Quinlan canie about in a singular manner. She arrived In Chicago on Sunday night lost from Toronto.

At that time she sent for Quinlan, and he went to 6063 Sangamon street, the residence of Eugene Haywood, to see her. While be was there Mrs. Fitzel told him that Holmes had told her in Philadelphia that he (Quinlan) had mads away with her eon. Quinlan talked with Mrs. Pitzel for half an hour, during which time she repeated the charge of Holmes that Quinlan had killed Howard Pitzel.

Quinlnn has made so many contradictory statements himself that his arrest is momentarily expected. During the police examination of the house of H. H. Holmes a portion of a woman's wrapper, torn and stained, was found. The gown was of dark goods, with white trimming, and on the white cloth were found several dark spots resembling either iron rust or blood stains.

An analysis will be made. The discovery was made while workmen were digging near one of the walls in the basement. Hidden under the rubbish waa a barrel, and in it, buried among a mass of broken crockery and old tinware, was the dress. More About That Mycteriotu Homie. Tho house was surrounded all day by a crowd of sightseers.

Numerous and urgent requests foraduiission were made, but the police carefully guarded the doors and would admit no one. The house was built under Holmes' personal supervision, and its interior arrangement is suggestive of mystery and of the man's devious vwys. He was mysterious in all that he did A winding stairway led to his own apartments on the third floor, facing Sixty-third street. Electrical apparatus connected with these stairs and told him of the approach of any one. In his office swung the door of an apparently large vault.

Tbe door Is one of the Diebold safe pattern, with combination lock. Inside of this door were two others of iron, always tightly closed. Here, Holmes explained, he kept his valuable papers. But a pull at the inner doors told a different story. As they opened there was seen to bo behind them nothing but the wall of the adjacent room.

The doors were a blind for the unwary who sat in that office and listened to the honeyed talcs of the schemer. He could step from ais office if he wished to be rid of an oh- iectionablc visitor and in an instant bo iidden from nil finding, unless the walls were torn down. Hallways, narrow and dark, cross and recross at every point. Closets are innumerable, many with doors on two sides. If he went into his bathroom, there was under his feet a trapdoor.

He hod only to raise it and descend to another floor of tho niilding and thence to the street by ono of half a dozen ways, or there was above lim a trapdoor, and he could ascend. Important Letters Found. TORONTO, July local authorities have been put In possession of a num- of letters and documents which show that early in December of last year tho authorities of Philadelphia were cognizant that Holmes had made away with the three Pitzel children. The letters show that on Dec. 15 President Fouseof the Fidelity Mutual association wrote to Dr.

John Ferguson of the Excelsior Life In- sxirance company, this city, asking him to make inquiries with a view to finding out whether or not Holmes, with three children, had come to Toronto. Private Detective Hodgins was employed in the case, and in a very short time found that Holmes and the woman who then passed off as his wife staid one day at the Walker House and several days at the Palmer House in October last; also that five children had been kept at the Albion hotel until the 25th of October, and that on the latter date Mrs. Pitzel, with her baby and her eldest daughter, Tessle, were at the Union House in this city, and that all the parties, with the exception of Nellie and Alice Pitzel, left Toronto on that date. This information was supplied to Mr. Fonose on Dec.

22, and great surprise is expressed here that no immediate action was taken by the Philadelphia authorities. The Toronto detective had no intimation that a murder had been committed on Canadian soil. When Detective Geyer came to Toronto, he studied Detective Hodgin's report. The morning after his arrival the press appealed to those who had let houses to parties who had occupied them only a short time to communicate with the police. Tho man Rives of 18 St.

Vincent street read this in the morning papers and promptly reported to Inspector Hall of 2 Division street what he afterward told at the Inquest. In this way and during the absence of Detective Geyer on a visit to Niagara Falls the bodies were located. Holmes Broken In Spirit. PHILADELPHIA, July prison authorities say that H. H.

Harvey. He said that the debate, of the last session was of valuo as showing that during the past 40 years silver had been steadily coined in spite of the assertion to the contrary; that by the table copied from the reports of the mint the commercial ratio between gold and silver had been maintained at about the French coinage ratio of loji to 1 for 200 years; that during the S3 yeans since 1878, as the result of demonetization, the commercial ratio had declined to 32 to that in the 338 years prior to 1873 thu quantity ratio between gold and silver had ranged from 5C of silver to 1 of gold to 4 of silver to 1 of gold, and that during; all that time the commercial ratio had clnug closely to the legal ratio. During all rliac time the commercial price of silver bullion had remained steady. Since 1873 it had steadily und rapidly decreased. It was the dominating influence of on exchange to all parts of the world which led to jpld being recognized by the world as the staudard in all commercial transactions.

Mr. Horr called attention to what he called misleading statements in Mr. Harvey's book. For instance, he declared to bo untrue the statement that it was believed that the cost of producing all of the gold in the world about $3 per ounce, while some put it much higher. Mr.

Horr pointed out that there had been a vastly increased production at greatly reduced prices, and at the cost which Mr. Harvey spoke of the silver miners in three years would have lost over $100,000,000. Again, Mr. Harvey had put the aggro- gate amount of silver in world at about $3,000,000,000. It was estimated that there was about $6,000.000,000.

Mr. had siiid the debts of the United Stales amounted to $40,000,000,000. This was an absurdity. The statement of the amount of interest which the United States paid annually to Europe was also untrue. Mr.

Harvey EzplalnB. Mr. Harvey said that the amount of silver referred to by him in his book was the amount available for coinage. He said this government had fixed the price of gold, and all the friends of stiver, wanted was for it to fix the price of silver in the belief that the nation could better keep ont of the pawnbroker's with the two metals than one. Returning to his argument on bimetallism, he said that the option of the debtor to pay in the cheaper metal should not bo impaired.

This would always maintain a parity. Mr, Horr declared that since 1874 the production of silver has been steadily on the increase, and that gold bos since 1875 been also on the increase, but while silver had increased in quantity three times during that period, gold had only doubled In quantity. Mr. Harvey went bnclc to the discussion of primary money as a measure of values. In 1867, he declared, all the money in circulation was $18.28 per capita, and in 1873 it was capita, and at these times all money was primary money, the measure of values being paper itself.

In 1S94 we had capita circulation of $34.83. He then said: "Now ynu will say that the quantity of money in circulation affects prices. You had more and credit circulation in 1894 per capita than you had in the two yours named previous to 1S73, and yet prices were higher than now." Mr. HOIT said Mr. Harvey's definition of primary money was money of redemption.

Greenbacks had to be redeemed to make them good, nnd they could not by any hook or crook bo construed into primary money. Mr. Harvey denied that Mr. Horr was justified in culling him a greenbacker, and said that he believed In gold and silver as primary money to the fullest extent under the bimetallic laws that governed it prior to 1878. PICNIC AT PENRYN.

A delegation from Lancaster helped to swell the gatheringand by the happy faces of every one an onlooier would decide that for the day at least all thought of dull care was left far away from Penryn. The Grand Central orchestra had been engaged to furnish music for the occasion and soon the lovers of the gentle art were tripping gaily to the sweet strains over the well waxed floor of the dancing pavilion. But the cool shade of the woodland claimed its share of the young folks and the many boats that dotted tbe bosom of the glassy lake showed that Terpsichore, with her gay music and graceful whirls, could not claim all the devotees of pleasure. At 11 o'clock the special train which had been provided gent out its shrill note of warning that the time had come for homeward journey and many expressions of regret were heard, as the tired merry makers threaded their way through the trees to the depot that tbe day had come to a close so soon The club may hold another outing in a few weeks and should it do eo there is no donbt but what it will be as the one held on Tuesday.

The Stay at children of Israel reached Sinai in the third month of the year they escaped from Egypt (Ex: and left it the 30th of the second month of the next year Hence they were before Sinai for nearly a The reason of this long delay is apparent. The people left Egypt a mere crowd of fugitive slaves, with only -the rudiments of national organization, and the dimmest religions ideas. But the interval had effected an immense change. They had now become an organized people, with laws, a constitution or covenant, a priesthood, a religious ritual, and house of worship; and with a political and military organization, under judges and officers placed over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens (Ex.

Reuel is generally regarded as the same person with Jethro (Ex. Reuel being his name, and Jethro, which means excellency, his honorary title. But there are other opin ions. 'Moses' athcr-in-1 aw. Tl ie for in Hebrew has a wider meaning and signifies any relation by marriage.

So that Hobab may have been Moses' "brother-in-law." "We are journeying:" They were just ready to renew their journey after their long abode at Sinai (v. S3). "Unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give It This was the promise made to Abraham (Gen. and repeated to Jacob (Gen. Psa.

"And he said, I will not go." This motive waa not sufficient to move him.

"Thou know- est the wilderness, and thou may- est be to us instead of eyes." Moses had been in portions of the wilderness, but Ilobab had been familiar with the whole region all his life, and had traversed it again and again.

This reason seems to have had the effect of convincing Uobah. This motive ia still most powerful over many minds. God wants to be a Christian not only because it is best for you, jnt because there is work for yon to do in His kingdom; there arc multitudes to help, battles to fight, victories to gain. S3.

"And they departed from the mount of the Lord:" Sinai. "Three days' journey:" before they stopped for uuy length of time.
