The Views of One of the Drivers of Elephants. She can do her best work in the world, by turning her own talents to account to smooth the path of aman whom she can sway and who has all the possibili- ties before him. So when the woman does her utmost to use her brain. in his interest, to attend to all tiresome details, so as to leave him as free as possible from petty cares and worries. Then the man can concentrate the whole of his energy in his work, and the woman’s ambition is vicariously satisfied. She watches the friend, brother and husband, and feels, with a half-amused complacency, that but for her his end would never have been attained. And this eternal watching and criticism develops in woman a greater power of knowing what men will do in particular circumstances. She has seen so often before that par- ticular circumstances have particular effects in determining the actions of the workers. In the stress and hurry of the fight the man is not conscious which way the action is tending. He is absorbed in doing the duty immediate- ly before him. The woman looking on coolly can say to him: “See, this line of conduct must lead to this and this consequence; you have only to take ad- into it something like the following: A piece of hair or whiskers; some | earth that the right or left foot has tod at the hour of midmght at a certain designated spot;’a relic of a dead friend; a clipping of the applicant's finger or toe nail; a piece of money from the person, or belonging indirect- ly to the candidate, which must be soaked so many hours in vinegar, 1!co- hol or whisky; a few watermeion seeds; a little gunpowder, perhaps, or maybe a pinch of snuff or a piece of “Little David root” will do the busi- ness. What “Little David root” is no mortal but a voodoo dector has ever been able to find out, and yet the ereat- est possible faith is placed in its powers by the superstitious darkies, who h:- teamship Ormidale cleared Wilmington with 11,739 of cotten, which was the Magdala was then in port the Ormidale.

How the Darkey Prayed. It is almost immediately dis- solved into a kind of soft paste, and when pressed between the palms the future can be as easily foretold as if read from so many pages of typewrit- ten manuscript. At least the aston- ished negroes think so, and thoroughly believe in it. “Little David root” is responsible for a great deal of supersti- tion in the south. There is now living in a suburb of At- lanta, Ga., a fine, fat negress, weighing 250 pounds or more, who has the repu- tation of being the most successful voo- doo doctor in these parts.

The testimony of educated deaf mutes regarding some of their ideas be- fore instruction is very interesting. Some fancied the wind was blown from the mouth of an unseen being. A num- ber supposed that rain and lightniny were caused by men in the sky pouring down water and firing guns.

To many a great man the advice of an Egeria, even an Egeria of an obviously inferior intellectual caliber to himself, is almost essential. She can watch and weigh the motives of his adversaries, she can calculate the probable effect of his own actions, and still more of his words, she can criticise his past decisions and indicate the best chance of success in the future. In fact, to bea woman is to to be a mahout—a driver of elephants. The goad with which she steers the ani- mal is in her hand, but yet she knows, as according to Mr. Rudyard Kipling eyery mahout knows, that some day, sooner or later, the great beast will get beyond her control and may turn on her with a terriblepanishment for the insult of having kept Itim in subjection. For the ultimate force in life, physical strength, is against the woman as it is against the mahout.—London Specta- tor. Grape Sauce.
