Show Feeding an Elephant Sngar. The elephants wero treated to great blocks of "goor," which Is brown sugar in one of its earliest stages. As my own elephant raised her trunk and opened her queer looking mouth in expectation ex-pectation of the usual donation of a few pieces of the size of one's flst, I carefully adjusted between her back teeth a lump larger than a man's bend. I shall neve.- forget the expression of her little eyes ns she received this delicious de-licious morsel. She kept her head raised aloft to prevent the juice from running out, and then directed her eyes down to me, beaming with elephantine pleasure. She could not swallow the prize; It was too big. Nor could she divide it; it was too sticky. All sho could do was to hold it tight and roll her eyes till It melted. These were doubtless the happiest moments mo-ments of her life. Youth's Companion, |
