A Herd'st Successful Raid on a Granary In Ceylon. Some soldiersstationed at an out- post in Ceylon, says a Colombo paper, to protect a granary containing a large quantity of rice were sent off a few Miles to quiet some unruly villagers, only two of the party'ztetnaining be- eind. No Sooner had the soldiers de- parted than a herd of wild' elephants, which bad long been wandering about the neighborhood, appeared In front of the granary. Its Walls were of solid brickwork, very thick, and the only opening, Into the building enter of the roof, which was reached by a ladder. On the approach of the elephants the two men clambered up into a lofty banyan tree to escape in- jury. Screened by the thick foliage, though unseen by the elephants, they easily saw all that went on below, The sagacious animals began opera- tions at the corners of the building; Two powerful elephants, after putting forth every effort, but in vain, to make an impression on the building, were forced to retire exhausted. A third came forward, and, applying his tusks as levers, be at length succeeded in dislodging a single brick, An opening once made, others of the herd ad- vanced, and soon an entrance was ob- tained sufileieetly large to admit them. As the whole company could not be accommodated at once, they divided into small groups ot three or four, After satisfying themselves they re- tired and gave place to others until the Whole herd, upward of twenty, bad made a full meal. By this time a shrili sound was beard from one of the ele- phants, and those still in the granary rushed out and joined their compan- ions, One of the first divisions, after leaving the building. bad acted as sen- tinel while the others were taking tbeir turn. I -Ie bad perceived the troops returning from the village and gave the signal for retreat, when the whole herd. flourishing their trunks, moved rapidly into the jangle. The soldiers found the animals had devoured the greater part of the rice. A ball from a fieldpiece was discharged at them in their retreat, but they only tailswagged their and were soon bidden in the recesses of their native forests. DAYS OF THE WEEK. At One Time They Were Designated Merely by Numbers. Formerly the days of the week were numbered Otte; two, three, four, five and six, beginning with the Sabbath. Even now the custom still prevails among certain modern Greeks, the Slays and the Finns. Many old fash- ioned and.orthodox Quakers, particu- larly in the north of England, still hold to this custom, which was the common one in the days of the apostles and down to the fourth century as well as usual among the Jews and the Arabs. The orthodox Quakers use the numer- ical system In preference to the orde nary on the ground that tbe gods and goddesses, from whom the names were taken, were not of tbe highest respecta- bility in point of morals. The week was originally only a con- venient quarter of the lunar month; hence it began on Monday, or moon day. The Italians still call Monday the first and Sunday tbe seventh day of the week. Tuesday Is derived from the Norse Tiw, who corresponded to Mars, the god of war, a most disreputa- ble person in the eyes oY Quakers. Thursday was Thor's day, Thor being a god warrior who was morally no bet- ter than be ought to be. Wednesday, again, was Woden's day, Woden being the god of battle rage. The Romans called this day Mercury's. Friday was supposed Pp Sed to be the luckiest day of the week -for women. It was called after the Norse Frija, the goddess of love, and is the best day .for weddings. For the pagan Romans it was also the day of Venus, though the Christian Romans Called it the day of ill tuck because Christ had been crucified on that day. Saturday was called after Saturn, and Sunday was known to the Christians as resurrection or sun day. The week of seven days was import- ed from Alexandria into Greece and into Italy about the time of Christ. The Greeks bad previously divided their month into Sets of ten days, the Romans into sets of eight days, three and a half sets being equal to one month. -New York World, An Author's initiate.

When life seems more than usually insipid --and such moments do come to even the most hopeful of us -there is a sudden pleasant sympathy in the yawn of the terrier on the rug before the fire. "Ah, you, too, find things a little boring, old fellow!" we say to ourselves. A dog yewns nobly, mak- ing no attempt at disguising it with politely uplifted paw. Ail animals seem to enjoy a yawn except man. We once saw the late lamented hip- popotamus at the zoo lift himself slow- ly from his murky pond and yawn. It was a great spectacle, tremendous, Ho - merle. The concentrated boredom of the whole creatiou seemed expressed in that gigantic gasp. For a few fas- cinated moments pond, shed, railings, people, all seemecl merged in one co- lossal mouth. It was wonderful. Oh, we thought as we came away, to be able to yawn like that when life be- comes too silly! -pull Mall Gazette. Get Out of Doors. Trudeau's classic experiment points us In the right direction. After inoc- ulating a number of rabbits with tu- berculosis he confined a number of them indoors and turned the others outdoors. The latter all recovered, while the former all died. This exper- iment shows that a rabbit living upon its natural food and under a natural environment is proof against tuberen- losis. There is abundant reason to be- lieve this equally true of man, In other words, tuberculosis is not a nec- essary evil of human life, but is a nat- ural consequence of erroneous habits and departure from natural conditions. elan Is naturally an outdoor animal. A mole lives it healthy life in a bur- row. A man must live in the fresh air and the sunshine. -Medical Record. The Brigands.
