‘lVe saw one beautiful elephant who was “born in the Prince‘s province and had never seen a. jungle, but had grown up in the nature and ltibie, like any other cow. hen elm elm; to see us her own little calf paced by her side. The calf was the little counterpart of the cow, and was a very pretty creature, 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 jsunLily along, " toe ing out," stifiening her knees, and holding her chin down in the most approved manner. When we offered her a. bit of sponge cake, she eidled nearer, like a pet limb, lifted the little finger at the end of her trunk. and examined t‘..e trunk dainiily before taking it; and apparently never having seen any beiore she turned towards her mother with a ques- tioning look. The mother elephant seemed puzzled. She walked toward us with an ex- firession of hesitation, anxious curiosity in or small knowing eyes, as one may see any new do. She held out her trunk for the cake, and t‘Je little one dutifully 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 to- ward the little one, to whom she promptly returned it, sud then looked on contentedly while the eslf enjoyed the tidbit. The Gild baby-elephant kept close to its mother and stumbled along like a sly, awkward hobbledehoy. When the keepers tried to turn the wild calf toward us, and away from its mothe:, the little one threw back its head, struck up its chin. and elied out loud and piteonsly. The poor mother struggled [OSHH‘d he: terrified calf, and managed to gefi her own ponderous body between the calf and the strange looking people. The little one refused to be com- forted, and the mother’s ways of protecting and aoobhing it were so tender and know ing as to seem almost human. She stroked it with her big trunk and shoved it lovingly behind her, and finally persuaded the little one to take some nourishment, when it threw back its small trunk dexterously, and drew the milk, smacking like any sat- isfied, hnngry calf.» A wild elephant cow and calf lately cap taxed were driven up to show us the differ- ence. They were both darker and very rough. lean and hungry-looking in compr- ison with the domesticated ones. A strong chain tied the wild mother-elephants fore- legs 1: gather, and she wan also fastened with a strong Ian-Eat to a tame elephant 1‘ push heads which is the tougbé’stf' where the stronger won and then droveithe weaker -ofi‘ the field. They seemed good-natured, and also to enjoy the game. Same ten or twenty other elephants look- ed on, appalently interested and amused, until one very strong, active elephant‘among the fighters ran after his vanquished antag- onist with the evident intention of striking at his trunk, when all the other elephants became excited, and constituted themselves a company of umpires, and set up such in. dignant moaning that'th‘e hee‘per inteifered. This indulgence on our part seemed to gain the mother elephant’s confidence, for she began showing 0E her ofl‘spring with unmistakable pride. She pushed the little one toward ue, and turned it round and round with her great trunk. W'hen the calf demurred she coaxed and caressed her, the cow was evidently vein of the calf's finery, and encouraged that spoiled elephantling to flaunt her furbelows and tinkle her ear-rings. She drew our attention to the big, little fan legs cf the beauty, and finally wound her trunk afiectionately round the small neck, lifted the little head, and showed us the beginning of her haby’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 jungle ; but we had a chance later to learn that this was not altogether the 0539. They became quieter When they new that no harm was intended them, and then the little one was more amusing than ever, run- ning undu the mother and hiding behind her great logs, occasionally darting a. shy, frightened pecp from behind the shelter. If we looked, or went toward her, she dodg- ed back and hid her face, and if we took L0 notice she csme nearer, and even stepped one foot forward in a testing, gingerly fash- ion. Meantime the bold town-bred elephant youngster looked on with great interest, waggling her tail, jingiug her ear-rings, and tossing her trunk in high glee, appear- ently much amused at her countrified sis- ter's awkwardness and discamfiture. Comiug down the Erie road the other day a young lady leaned forward, and touching a resident of Turner's Centre on the should- er, asked him politely if he would tell her what those soft fluffy-looking animals were in a large meadow besidetha track. “ Them’a Southdowns, marm," was the answer. “How interesting !" she said.

An aristocrat by birth, title and training, he is said as a young man to have made a. brilliant figure in fashionable Parisian society. Ren- dered suddenly dumb in the best years of his youth, either by some unfortunate acci- dent or by some unfamiliar malady, he found himself compelled to abandon the career for which he had been destined, and to forsake those elegant circles he had charmed so often by his delicate wit and irreproacheble grace of manner. Leading physicians of the time exhausted their skill in unsuccessful eflorts to restore his speech ; his case was pro- nounced hopeless; in the pleasures or dis- tractions or travel he sought that forget- fulness of his misfortune which familiar scenes and feces might render impossible at home. In conclusion, Dr. Canniif submitted that an inspection of all the peaches brought to Tot-011m should be made, and all affect-ed fruit confiscated, as the law directs. Dr. annifl' further states that he found few orchards in which there were not some diseaned trees. and in some a good many, He found also that not H. few baskets of peaches with the “yellows” had been sent to Toronto ; that he had been told by one grower that he thought some thousand baskets, more or less affected, had been sens during Lhe present season. Diseased peaches cogs principslly from the States; The-duty-of s'tamping out; the disease rest, with the municipality in which the disease is located. The law is quite sufficient to do this. Dr. Cannifi, Medical Health Oificer, hav ing made an investigation regarding the disease of the peaches known as the “ yel- lows,” notice of which was published in the “ Mall " some days ago, has sent in his re- port to the Mayor. Tue report deals with the extent to which the disease exists among those brought to the Toronto market, from which place they came, and to what extent the disease renders the fruit unfit for human consumption, or may be dangerous to the public health. Dr. Cannifl" also en- deaVOured while at Niagara to make himself acquainted with the nature of the disease, how it spreads from tree to tree, and what is the proper remedy. The disease, he stuns in his report, is now recognized by those most competent to judge as parasitic in its nature, and as highly contagious, and that it is propagated through the agency of germs. The “yellows " hears a Clan resem- lance to some of the diseases which affect the human system. A tree may sprout from the stone of a diseased peach, and seemingly be healthy until it Legins to hear, when the usual symptoms wrll appear. These are the fading of the naturally green ,leaves, which become more or less “yellow” and the tree has the general appearance =-i' decay. However, this is not always the case. There are three stages of the disease, which are developed in three consecutive years. In the fist stage it often pas es un- noticed, but the premature maturity of the fruit, which is characteristic, will at once inform the experienced fruit grower that it is the beginning of a fatal malady. As the symptoms develop the peach presents a highly‘colouled appearance, sometimes be- ing blood red, and it is the belief of many that the so-called blend peach Variety is but an ordinary peach afiected with the “yel- lows.” The outside is generally at first spotted with red, like an eruption, or it is mottled. On removing the skin the some red marks are seen extending into the flesh of the fruit. In 8. Well developed case there are large streaks of red extending to the stone, to which the stringy flesh is unnatur- ally adherent. In the first year of the dis- ease the taste of the fruit is little, if any, changed. It is often large and generally very palatable In the second year the fruit is smaller and has less taste. In the third year it is often tasteless, and always insipid and sometimes mawkish. b Time modes of propagation are supposed to e :â€" 1.

If only a small branch is affected it is the same; consequently the proper means to extermin- ate the “yellows” is to destroy the treeâ€" root, branch, and fruitâ€"by fire, and diein- feot the soil whexe it grew. The consumption vof the diseased fruit will produce diarrhoea. Fruit impregnated with efements so fatal to the free cmnot be safely Quad {gr food. 3. It is supposed that the diseased spores may be cast off from the leaves or blossoms, and, floating in the air, be waited by a breeze to another tree, which thus contracts the disease. 4. There is no doubt that the planting of the pit of a diseased peach by nurserymen will pfopggate disease: 7 He went to Italy.

This is a queer world. According to Building. the new law in Berlin is very strict : â€"-â€" “ No building can occupymore than two-thirds of the ground, nor be higher than the width of the street. None can be occnpied as a dwelling unti! six months after it is built, and the number of persons to be permitted in each sleeping- room is to be prescribed by the sanitary in’ spectors by the rule of so many cubic feet of sp36e for each person.

Study the girl everybody likes, and see wherein lie the reasons of her popularity. Very often she is not pretty, or she is de- void of the clothes-wearing faculty we call style ; she may not even be accomplished ; but we all like her. The most popular girl we know is always cilled pretty, though her features are irregular and she belongs to no decided type. But the moment she meets one her whole £3.03 lights up with friendliness and her first speech is either some merry quip or hit of kindly sympathy.

All these observations are made “that Japaneae ladies may be made aware of the dangers of such a course before adopting foreign dress, and that they may be led to stop and consider well b:fore doing what will affect not: only their own health, but that of their sons and daughters.” But it is to the relations of foreign dress to health that the attention of the Japanese ladies is especially directed. Heavy skirts, dangerously close fitting dress bodies, “ the insidious custom of Wearing corsets, far more dircful in its consequences than the Chinese custom of compressing the feet of women,” are all commented on. Some of the writ :rs think that the charges of immodesty some- times made against the present Japanese dress could be met by the addition of under- clothing. From the standpoint of beauty, grace, and suitability (the letter goes on,) Japanese dress, modeled after the best Jananese stand- ards, is both elegant and refined, and it would take yesrs for JapAnese ladies to adapt to themselves and wear with equal grace a costume to which they are entirely unaccustomed. As to economy, European dress, with its ample skirts and trimmings, re- quires a. large amount of material, and even it native stufl's are used the expense of the costume will be greatly increased, to say nothing of the change and expenditure in household furniture necessary if Western dress be adopted. Foreign carpets, chairs, and tables must be added to foreign dress and shoes, and J Apenese household interiors, now held up 1:) the world as models of grace, simplicity and harmony, will have to be en- tirely remodeled. There are many worse things than single blessedness, and the condition of the old maid is no less hauorable to her than is that of matrimony to her wedded sister. The old maid may, if she will, and she generally does, bear a noble part in the good Work of making the world a better and happier place. There are probably few who do not carry with them through life the tender memory of some old maid whose love and goodness cheered and blessed their early years. How often is she a ministering angel whose life is spent in acts of unselfish de- votion to those around her? We cannot spare the CH maid. She has an important role to pay in the human comedy, and the thing for her to do is to study it and play it well. The woman who worries because she sees old maidhood before her is without good sense. Let her be sure that there are thousands of wives who only wish that they had led single lives, and then she may find it easierto learn of the Apostle in what- soever state she is therewith to be content. â€"[North American.
